While nail homes In the best recor have been r\- and long lands have ous renfden- building of suburbs has broken the best records. Manhattan’s Imme construction, which takes the form of (lat buddings, has fallen almost to nothing, vacant flats are becoming numerous all over the city, and rents have fallen to a point which promises to nverage lower for 1902 than for 1307. and free rent for a month or two is 'errd by fr’ghtened landlords int to get tenants. ; Beside these there were nearly 600 other requests, most of tihem equally , interesting. One person wanted to be I sent to Kurope. one wished to sell •quilt, one needed help to remove watch from pawn. There were ten re quests to aid church fairs, thirty-four for old clothes, three for watche fourteen for scholarships, while one | man yearned for a farm and three I cows. Seventeen writers begged only for advice, while 107 would have been satisfied with money without advice or any other restrictions as to Its use. Seven persons asked permission to name a child after Miss Gould, five begged for sewing machines, three wanted Bibles, one wished assistance to open a photograph gallery, and one man, anxious to fill a long-felt want, besought a job getting up railroad time tables which would really show hat time the trains start and what who time they actually get there. Police Commissioner Bingham is nothing if not energetic and original in his effort to improve the police ser vice of New York. A week or two ago he issued to the public a neat little pamphlet entitled "Blue Book for Citi zens.’’ rule 3 of which reads as fol lows: “In / case of complaint write directly to the police commissioner and mark the envelope ‘ Personal.”’ One warm day last week, when the ten-cent fare to Coney Island was proving a distracting problem, the fol lowing communication reached head quarters from "A Citizen,” who evi dently taken his advice literally: "I beg to inform you that the vilest den in New York is run at 434 West Thir ty-seventh street. Disorderly persons of both sexes resort to it at all hours of the day and night. This infamous den should be broken up.” Instantly there was excitement at headquarters and visions of another shake-up. Forthwith the communication was dis patched to Capt. Steve O'Brien, to . whom has been assigned the task of 1° holding down the lid of the Tenderloin . , . . , , , . ln during the dull summer season, with nt of *;’°' r , st , ff lthe information that if Capt. O'Brien !L ba ,"-.J 7r .u S . d £-L s '’ bad not enough men to close up this resort, the commissioner would furnish all that was needed. By return mes senger came the following report from Captain O’Brien: “The building 434 West Thirty-seventh street, I most re spectfully report, is the police station house of which I am commander. Respectfully, Stephen O'Brien.” The citizen who had the courage to perpe trate so mean a joke on the commis sioner has not yet been discovered. Two hundred members of the Texas J Bankers’ Association breezed into town and 0111 nrrain late last week in a cheery Southwestern way which has done much to dispel the feeling of de pression occasioned by the somewhat critical attitude assumed by the seven- I teen young ladies from Oregon who preceded them 1 few weeks ago. New Vork is generously disposed and al lows that the pronunciation of the' Oregon maidens to the effect that her i streets are crowded, her public servants rude, and her women overdressed was I probably inspired by the fact that they j were dependent upon one lone man for escort and a woman’s hotel for enter tainment. Nevertheless it was sooth ing to civic pride to hear the president j of the Honov Grove National remark to the president of the Ventis Bank, when about a million of Coney Island’s electric lights jumped into life and flashed red. and white, and green from tower to tower as they sat at dinner in the revolving cafe: “This sure does beat Boston, but they can't com fast for Texas.” The remark was in part reminiscent of t place. The Texan cashiers, and capitalists from the Pan handle to the Rio Grande and side ways in both directions, are on their Annual pleasure tour subsequent to the convention of the Texas Bankers’ As sociation. They left Fort Worth In a medal train on June 7. and since that t’nie have been entertained in Kansas City. Chicago, Detroit. Montreal and Boston.' They stopped off in New York, w ere few of them had ever been be NEW YORK, July 2.—While Mar sha) Henkel and his deputies were seeking everywhere for John D. Rock efeller today, they were equally zeal ous in their efforts to serve William Rockefeller, a brother of J. D. Rocke feller, with a subpoena, requiring his presence before Judge Landis in Chica go, July 6. Marshal Henkel declares that William Rockefeller is as difficult to serve as is his brother. A report today has it that William Rockefeller is In Rome; and another report has him sojourning in the South of France, while still another states he is in the Adirondacks. Marshal Henkel says he is convinced that J. D. Rockefeller is not in the jurisdiction of the district, but he is not so certain about William Rocke feller. It has been reported that Mr. Rockefeller is at the home of his son- in-law, E. Parmalee Prentice, near Pittsfield: that he has been staying at his own home in Tarrytown, N. Y., and that he was on his way’ to his Cleve land home, but neither the marshal or any of his deputies have been able to determine where Mr. Rockefeller is to be found. Inquiry at Mr. Rockefeller’s home at Tarrytown have elicited only the rsponse that the whereabouts of Mr. Rockefeller are unknown. MARSHAL BELIEVES HE HAS MAGNATE TREED. CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 2.—United States Marshal F. M. Chandler, ac companied by Deputy Frank Schwen- ter. again visited Forest Hill this I eeeded to the Rockefeller residence Chandler, after remaining around the [house for an hour, started down town. I leaving his deputy on guard with \ subpoena for Mr. Rockefeller. “Basing my opinion upon private in [formation and indications at Forest Hill, I would say that Mr. Rockefeller now is at his Cleveland house.” Mar shal Chandler said on reaching his •of fice. "Just how or when he arrived I do not know,” the marshal continued “but it locks as though he reached Cleveland yesterday and entered his estate by way of the rear entrance, The only answer I have obtained any of my questions at his house was from the froni gate keeper, who r peatedly said, ‘He has not passed through this gate.” "When I attempted to interview Miss Howard. Mr. Rockefeller’s secretary, she said: ‘You need not ask me any questions, as I will not answer you.’ ‘'Deputy Schwenter was stationed upon the front porch of the Rockefeller honje with- instructions to remain there indefinitely and occasionally to walk about the grounds." PROSECUTOR DAVID MAY TAKE A HAND - FINDLAY. Ohio, July 2.—If J. D. Rockefeller is in Cleveland, he is with in the jurisdiction of Prosecutor Wm M. David, of Hancock County, and if he is called upon by the Federal au thorities at Chicago to assist in his capture he will simply call another case against Standard Oil Company and see that the personal guarantee of J. C. Donnell, vice-president and general manager of the Ohio Oil Com pany, of this city, and James C, Troup, of Bowling Green, his attorney is carried out. On January 28, they agreed with Prosecutor David to have Mr. Rockefeller appear in this city when wanted. As a guarantee of their good faith, as well 0.3 Mr. Rockefeller’s, they executed a bond, which is signed by Rockefeller. Donnell and Troup that J. D. Rockefeller would appear from day to day in the court until dis charged. fore, as a sort of bracer before moving i but in the Tenderloin station at least on to Philadelphia, where they look for he is regarded as worthy of a medal, an opportunity to recuperate. LINGACRE. THREE TRAINMEN KILLED, 12 PASSENGERS INJURED Collision Between Buffalo Ex press and Freight Train on Pennsylvania R. R. Engines Smashed to Scrap Iron Without exaggeration it can be said tint. New York is the greatest sum mer resort city in the world. The number of people who annually leave its limits for the mountains or the Fcashore would populate a city the size of Baltimore, or even larger. Yet tlie city scarcely feels the difference, for thousands of people arrive here every summer to spend their vacations ntnid the sights which the resident New Yorker wants to forget with the approach of warm weather. They in clude not only buyers from the South and West, who find this the most fav orable time to lay in their winter stock of goods, but professional men. school teachers and thousands of other people whose duties are not so press ing in the summer time, as well as persons of means, who can afford to go elsewhere, but prefer to come to New York. They arrange their af fairs so that necessary business may be transacted during the morning hours, lunch In some shady restau rant or hotel where the air is kept well cooled, where palms, plants and flow ers produce the illusion of out-of-doors and where there is good ’music to cause one to forget the turmoil of the outside streets. Tlie afternoons are spent on the rivers or beaches within a few miles of the city’s center, the evenings on some one of the numerous roof gardens. So popular have these roof resorts become that a number of the better class of hotels have fitted up these gardens in the air.- where summer guests may refresh themselves : after a strenuous day of sightseeing. | The roof of the Hotel Astor, indeed. 1 where the unusual advantage of space j - has made it possible to arrange a per- _ . , , — feet representation of an Italian gar- L CINCINNATI.

His plan is to have the legislature meet and than send in a special message as to what subjects it should consid er, probably including the apportion ment of senatorial districts of the State. SUNBURY. Pa., July 2—Three train men were killed, one probably fatally i injured and twelve passengers were | slightly hurt today by a collision be- j tween a northbound Buffalo express and a freight train on the Pennsylva- I scoped each other. nia Railroad about two miles from this city. The dead are: J. F. McEviila, fireman, Williams port, Pa.: Harry Eyre, express mes senger, Williamsport: C. P. Hunter, assistant baggage master. Harrisburg. Georgia Lantz, of Williamsport, the bagagge master, was probably fatally injured. None of the twelve passen gers injured were seriously hurt, and ! most of them proceded after having j their wounds dressed. The accident j occurred in the yards of the railroad [and was caused by an open switch.

The pace was killing from the start, leaving a score of cars hopelessly beaten before the second round was ended. The race was full of surprises. Nazzaro was not promi nent in the contents. Lancia took the first three laps, but when he broke down at the third and surrended the lead to Duray, the latter, as he' reeled off lap after lap under 40 minutes, looked an easy winner, but on enter ing the ninth round, a broken bearing put his car out of action and he was forced to retire. In the meantime. Nazzaro, riding like a demon, but coqi and steady, overhauled Lancia, and when Duray dropped out, he continued on, unheeded to the finish. Szisz came up from the ruck and made a gallant but unavailing effort during the last two laps to overtake the flying leader. Lancia’s petrol gave out in the final round, permitting Baras to finish third. Nazzaro’s brilliant victory was ac knowledged by all, but the heart had been taken out of the crowd by Du- rav’s accident and the French thous ands received the news coldly. The times of the first and second men were as follows: Nazzaro, 6 hours, 46 minutes. 33 sec onds: Szisz 6 hours, 53 minutes, 10 seconds. Roguier finished fourth, Caillois fifth; Rigal sixth: Barillier seventh; Garset eighth and Shepard ninth. Christie, the only American partici pant driving an American machine had dropped out early in the race and did not figure among the leaders. Shepard doggedly persevered to the end, finishing last in 7, 39 minutes, 56 seconds. A woman was dangerously Injured by the explosion of a tire of Jenatzy’s car. Last Year Mr. Hall Kept House From Adjourning on July Fourth. Batch of Current Gate City News ATLANTA, July 2—When the House met today at 10 o’clock Mr. Hall, of Bibb, introduced a resolution provid ing that when adjournment was taken on Wednesday, it be until Monday morning. This was somewhat surpris ing coming from Mr. Hall, who kept gia will hold their annual convention in Atlanta tomorrow and on the fourth, the principal gathering being held on the latter day when there will be about 800 rural carriers here from all parts of the State. The Georgia As sociation now contains about 500 mem bers out of the 1.400 rural carriers in the State. President Fred L. White. of Buckhead. will preside and the convention will be addressed by Sen ator A. S. Clay, Congressman Livings ton, Hon. John Temple Graves and others.

Hackenschmidt will arrive in this country in February next. pressed a great deal of interest in the stories printed and asked if they were true. He disliked, he said, to appear in the public prints when there was no occasion for it, but he felt at liberty to say what he did on this subject.

"It Is wonderful,” says Charles Reade, “how genius can borrow.” “All literature.” remarks Oliver Wendell Holmes, "lives by borrowing and lend ing”; and he adds, "a good image is like a diamond which may be set a hundred times in as many generations, and gain new beauties with every change.” This is not a question of originality. “The lighting a candle at a neighbor's fire ” observes Dean Swift "does not affect our property in the wick and flame.” "Genius borrows nobly.” The transference is often a transmutation. For brass, the borrow er brings gold, and for iron, silver: and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. The crude ore is refined, and the raw material fashioned into a thing of beauty. It has been pointed out by Mr. Huth, in his “Life of Buckie.” that there is a kind of pedigree in literature. Dante avows his indebtedness to Vergil: as the latter himself was under obliga tions to Homer. Ariosto owes much to Vergil, and Spenser borrows frequently from Ariosto. Spenser’s "Faerie Queene” gave birth to Fletcher’s "Purple Island,” and this to Bernard's “Isle of Man ” and this in turn to Defoe’s 'Robinson Crusoe” and Bunyan's “Pil grim’s Progress”—all like so many blossoms rising from the one stem. Shakespeare has been called “the great Warwickshire thief.” so invet erate is his borrowing habit. He in vaded literature like a Napoleon and brought back the rarest art treasures the House in session on the fourth of July last year. However, when Mr. Hall learned that the Senate was not in session he had the resolution tabled until tomorrow when the Senate can be communicated with regarding the adjournment. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, moved that all the bills which had been introduced, some 300 in number, be read the sec ond time, so as to save the time of the House. To this Mr. Hall objected on the ground that general bills could not properly be read the second time under the rules until they had been reported on by committees. The resolution was then’ amended so as to apply only to local bills, and passed. All the local bills were read a second time, and on the next reading will be ready for passage. A number of important and inter esting bills were introduced at today’s session. Another State prohibition bill by Mr. Mundy. of Polk, proposes to make the sale of any intoxicated liquors illegally, a felony, and punisha ble by imprisonment in the State pen itentiary. Mr. Mtfndy also introduced a bill providing that after January 1, 190S. all State, county and congressional primaries shall - be held on the third Wednesday in August. This is a mat ter which now rests with the State, county and district executive commit tees. Mr. Lumsden, of White, introduced a bill making all dogs taxable, and providing that no one should be allow ed to sue for any unlicensed dog in any of the courts of the State. Messrs. Holder, of Jackson, and Alexander, of DeKalb, Introduced the bill providing for an increase in the State bank examining force, an ac count of which was given in these dispatches yesterday. An important bill was that intro duced by Messrs. McMahan, of Clark, Holder and Flanigan, of Jackson, for the regulation of co-operative and mutual fire insurance companies. It provides that they shall not receive charters until they have applications for/at least $100,000 of insurance, that they must each deposit $5,000 as a guarantee fund with the State Treas urer, and that they must reserve at all times 60 per cent of the premiums paid in order to meet losses. Other important bills introduced were as follows: Bv Mr. Buchannon. of Early—To create the position of reporter for tho State Court of Appeals. By Mr. Russell, of Muscogee—To create the office of railroad inspector, provide for his appointment by the Railroad Commission, to require him to inspect annually ail the railroads in the State and pay him $2,500 a year and expenses. By Mr. Russell, of Muscogee—To amend the State code with reference to the abandonment of children so as to make it applicable to all cases .where the child is dependent upon the father for a living. By Mr. Buchannon. of Early—To es tablish a dispensary in the city of Blakely. By Mr. Adkins, of Dooly—To pro hibit the publication by newspapers of salacious details of assault, murder, divorce cases, lynchings and the like. By Mr. Heard, of Dooly—To appro priate $50,000 to supply the deficit in the State pension fund for 1907. By Mr. Fhrr, of Banks—To prohibit the use of automatic or pump shotguns in Georgia. By Messrs. Martin, and Adams, of Elbert—To incorporate the city of Bowman in Elbert County. By Mr. Lumsden, of White—To pay solicitors general in all circuits having cities with population of 30,000 or less, $3,000 a year: in those having cities of 30.000 or 40,000. a salary of $3,500: in those having cities of 40,000 or more, a salary of $4,000 per annum. By Mr. Guyton, of Effingham—To create a quarterly term for the trial of all jury cases in the justice courts of the State. - By Mr. Nix, of Gwinnett—To pro vide for the payment of fees to clerks of the Superior Court for making rec ords in cases for the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. By Mr. Godley, of Camden—To pro vide that jurors in justice courts shall be paid the same as jurors iu Superior Courts. By Mr. Holder, of Jackson—To pro vide that all private roads which are used for free rural delivery routes, shall be declared public roads. Eastern Capitalists. ATLANTA. July 2.—The party of eastern capitalists headed by Edward F. Buchanan, of New York, head of the firm of A. O. Brown and Co., who have been visiting at Norcross. spent today in Atlanta and were entertained at a dinner by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Buchanan recent ly presented Atlanta with a $650 zebra which was added to tho Grant Park zoo. The members of the party, ac companied by Mayor Joyner, today made an informal call on Governor Hoke Smith. Justice Cobb's Resignation. ATLANTA, July 2.—Justice An drew J. CbbS, of the Supreme Court, who has announced his determination to resign in the near future, will prob ably remain upon the bench until October for the purpose of winding up all of the cases in the hearing of which he has taken part and so as not to leave any unfinished business for his successor who will be appoint ed by Governor Smith. Since the an nouncement that Justice Cobb would resign there lias been a good deal of speculation as to who would be ap pointed to fill the vacancy, but that probably will not be determined until the date of Justice Cobb's resignation has been fixed. Justice Cobb went on the Supreme Court bench Jart. 1. 1907, being one of the justices elected when the number was increased to six. His present term will not expire until Jan. 1, 1909. As the new salary bill was passed during his term. Justice Cobb is the only one who is still receiving the $3,000 salary; all the other justices are receiving $4,000. During his services on t he Supreme bench Justice Cobb has ren dered many important decisions, some of them involving deep constitutional questions. He always goes to the bottom of o. case, reviews the law historicallj", is a man of ideas and original thought. One of the most important decisions that he rendered was that declaring the adoption of tlie code by the legislature constitu tional. which fixes every section of the code as an enactment of the legis lative body. Abandon Agency Plan. ATLANTA. July 2.—President C. R. Porter of the State Mutual Life In surance Co., of Rome, announced* to day to Comptroller General W. A.
