It has gone to join Murray’s, Shanley's, Churchill's and the other famous palaces of the white lights, all of which have succumbed to the somnolence of prohibiton. Who can say that the eighteenth amendment is ot succeeding? One by one the big restaurants that made old New York famous all over the world are going Into oblivion. They have made every effort to comply with the dry law, even to restraining their diners from making use of the hip. The result has been that those newer restau- rants, or “clubs” that operate sometimes within the law and sometimes without, are claiming the patronage which makes the night life of the new New York still Just a little bit gayer than most places on the American continent. Tears Mark Closing. There was not a dry eye in Delmoni- co's last night as “taps” was sounded and orders were issued to admit no more guests. This was at 9 o'clock. Shortly after 11 the last diner had left the place, the night watchman had turned the Key in the door and Delmonico's, & restaurant which has been a part of New York for ninety-elght years, became a memory.

There was one old Bm!l%u at Del's who said he remembered the day that McAllister called for a pencil and wrote on a table in the restaurant a list of 400 names that he regarded as prominent in the social life of New York. At that moment Delmonico’'s gave birth to a phrase which probably will continue for all time—the four hundred. Linked With Histery. “Ah, those days!” said Crispi, the old émploye. “Those people! ~Those food ! Those wine! Those cocktail! They all came here, those people! Now, rohibition, some time some people come or lunch, ‘but for dinner, no, they sat at home.” And for why? Cherchez les caves. Look, you, in the cellar.” Delmonico’s history is really a history of New York. Louis Napoleon, after- ward Napoleon III, was entertained there. recéived the homage of the mation at Del's. Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Dickens, Whittier, Longfellow, Bryant, Emerson —all had memories assoctated with Del's. But today they are talking of erect- ing a skyscraper on the site of Del- monico's.Modern materialism must have its way. . —_— In Tibet one woman may have as since | pit Morse, inventor of the telegraph, | Deaths Reported.

A school for the deaf is not the place for him, for he has & normal command of language. “Although signs are rapid and con- venient. they do not follow the Eng- lish order of words and hinder the learning of speech and language.” Miss Tjmberlake said that it is largely due to the foresight and un- tiring scrvice of the late Alexander Graham Bell, who founded the Volta Bureau, that today “almost every deaf child is educated, and all schools for the deaf, except a few state schools colored children, teach speech. Education of Crippled Children. “The education of crippled children in special public school classes is not philanthropy—it is enlightened self interest,” said Miss Neil. “It is not only human, but economical, for it makes tax-producers out of potential tax-consumers. And this is the func- tion of the public school.” “There is no reason why any in- telligent_blind child in continental TUnited States should grow up In fgnorance.” declared Mr. Van Cleve. “Provisions for proper training of the young blind have been made al- most_universal in this country,” said Mr. Van Cleve. “Fi Tesidential &chools larger cities classes for the blind have been opened in the public schools, where special teachers and special appliances are provided.” Lewls and Mabel B girle (twine . s for all occasions, includ- ing hand-drawn Voiles, Handkerchief Linens and Swisses, many of which are imported. $19%0 $22 525 $39%0 and up $2' .75 Established Over 50 Years. ~ James B.
