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.

To prevent this It wns proposed that a arw society bo formed, "to connect 5n Indissoluble bonds of friendship 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 ship of whites for them, the league •hnuld he formed on an Indian basis.

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.

It is now plan ned to have the little animal visit Miss Conquest in n few weeks at the Iroquois Hotel where the actress will hold a reception for her professional and personal friends. 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 •lx more. Joseph kissed ’em all Then came two detectives who chid ed the human kissing bug for work ing over time, and told him he was 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 amusement The most aenratlnnal of the sheath gowns hare a divided •ktrt showing the outlines of the low er limbs, rt Is expected that some 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. !
