po«y Were at the Time of its Or

New York, June 3.—When the Board

Monday It will take up the queHtion j N(?w , F ] or( , nce Hote]>
-of moving headquarters of the most j 0 hn Woods,
famous n'ud powerful political organi
sation in the world from the historic
buJJilJng Jn Fourteenth street to a
site further uptown. It is' not con*
templated to make the move in the
Immediate future. But Tammany
most keep abreast of the times to
this bustling, busy city and though
toe leaders almost shudder at the
mere suggestion of moving the old
~wlgwam" It is a change*that must
•eventually come. When it is decided
upon It is certain that a site some
where above ColumtAia Circle will be
chosen.
Tammany as an organization is
more than 100 years old and the big
red brick building in East Fourteenth
wtreet, adjoining the historic Acad
emy of Music, is virtually the only
seal home It has ever known. Within
1ti walls "Boss Tweed, "Honest John’'
Kelly, Richard Croker and Charles F.
Murphy have held sway. In the coun
cil rooms where tho Sachems have
been wont to meet plans have been
laid to control the destiny and ad
minister the affairs of the greatest
commercial city in the United States.
Here political plots have been hatch
ed that have made and unmade Pres
Idents, Senators, Congressmen, Gov
ernors. Mayors and Aldermen. TTere

-«4btys of the Republic. A short time
after the Inauguration of Washington

States, wmo patriots met in New

prevent this It wns proposed that a

American brethren of known attach
ment to the political rights of human
wature and the liberties of the coun
try.** The society was to be non-par
dean, benevolent, patriotic and anti-
imstoCTttlC. The Idea was received
with enthusiasm and It was derided
in order to conciliate the American
Indian chiefs, and to prove the friend

New York, June 2—The big city of
New York is now called the "Bil
lionaire City," which has become the
slogan of those who are fighting to
have more subways constructed at
once. Comptroller Metz, who has been
oppo>lng new subways, for the pres
ent, because of the great debt of
the city, really furnished ammuni
tion for his opponents when he esti- ®
mated that the city’s holdings in real ®
estate were worth close to two bil- ■
lion dollars, which Is three ttmes O
greater than the cit/’s net founded g|
debL Although the Comptroller has
been obliged to change hli attitude
somewhat since he isued this state
ment, still he persists In his opposi
tion to more subways on the ground
of poverty, and this In view of the
fact that New York will have an ad
ditional borrowing capacity of $45,-
000,000 on the first of July. It is ar-
gued that this amount will be re
quired for the minor public improve
ments, and that it would be unwise
to expend any of it for new subway
lines.
A Rather Unique Christening.
Ida Conquest, the well-known act
ress who Is now playing In "The
Wolf" at the Lyric Theater was tho
principal figure In a unique christen
ing which took plnce at the Bronx
Zoo the other day. The director of
the zoo asked permission of Mis
Conquest to name the baby Canadian j
gray wolf after her. Miss Conquest!
readily consented and immediately
sent a silver collar with a gold name
plate to adorn the shaggy neck of,
the baby wolf. At the christening j
the wolf was formerly present^

I offered a Corl piano, no objection will

Z .accomplished musician to finer fights of

Z efforts to acquire proficiency, for Corl
Z pianos are eminently home pianos, how-

Was Kissing Overmuch.
Joseph Branch!, nn Italian, took up
his stand on Sixth avenue the other
night and declared himself a kissing
hug of the first magnitude. It was
Just at the time when the big stores
were closing for the night and the
streets were full with rnlesgtrls. But
ns for Joseph he kissed them as they
came. First came a cunning little
blonde. In dark blue with a "Merry
Widow" hat. Joseph kissed her. Then
came a magazine cover girl. Joseph
kissed her. Next in line was one of
those lengthy effects In black aad
crimson. Joseph kissed her. Follow
ing the long girl wns a short, rmlllng
one. Joseph kls:ed her. Then came

Then came two detectives who chid
ed the human kissing bug for work

under arre t. "Vive l’amour" said
Joseph as In the night court he was
sentenced to three months In tho
House of Refuge. "Yes, and if wo
get Moore we’ll lock him up too,"
said the detectives as one man.
New Yorkers are now wondering if
anvone will have the courage to start
le the Great White Way by wearing
ore of the new sheath gowns, which
set Paris agog a few week* ago, where
every extreme 1b fashion Is supposed
to be encouraged. Sooner or later
these extreme styles reach New York
and a few women make their appear^
anee In them. So far no one has em
erged In the now towus. which are
described as fitting to the body tlght-
than the skin to a grape. The
gowns are so clns Ic and tlght-fltttog
as well n« so transparent that they
cause onlookers to rub their eyes In

the sheath gowns hare a divided
•ktrt showing the outlines of the low

of the sheath gowns will be worn by-
a few actresses on the vaudeville
stage In New York very soon, but
whether anyone will dare to veture
out on Fifth avenue or Broadway in!
this startling garb is decidedly doubt
ful.
