The preservation of the health of the city was Dr. Black's aim, and he went forward with his work, regardléss of the wishes of the members of = the health. committee or the whole court of common council. He believed - he was tight and went ahead and_ the consequences did not bother him. In one particular at least he .was unto the late - Vanderbilt, whose memory will_be perpetuated ‘forever, when as the head of a great railroad system he made that live-forever remark: “The public be demned Just at the pre: e there Is an Lendon that clalms the close attention of the health officer:” He Has announced that he will not desert under the existing conditions, but WIH retain the local office and supervise the work of eradi- cation of the disease until it is com- pletely ana thoroughly stamped out.

The immediate addition of three stories to the main building of the Mohican hotel at New London to be completed by June. 1. making it an eleven story structure and th pros- pective coristruction, within a compar- atively short time of am eleven story annex in Meridian street were an- nounced Thursday . by the . owner, Frank A. Munsey of New York. Work on the additional stories will be com- menced in a few days. The ninth and tenth floors will be divided into apartments, single and en suite, each equipped with the most modern ' bathing facilities including shower and needle baths. “All rooms will be paneled and tinted French gray. The design is to be in general conformity with the present floors and the elevator system will remain as now, except ‘that it will be essential to bord down a_ greater depth for the plunger. A new elevator will also be installed to be used exclusively for dining room seryice. The eleventh floor will have a huge glass enclosed solarium into which the elévator entrances will open directly. Included in this great enclosure will be a palm room, with all its culinary facilities. The view from the so- larium will be one of the finest ob- tainable anywhere in the world -and the decorations will be in keeping with the magnificance of the panorama. An open ‘air promenade on' the roof will be_a feature. Because of the condition of the steel market, due to the war, Mr. Munsey believes it advisable to .post- pone the .erection of ‘the Meridlan street annex until the situation has become something like normal again, which it is hoped will be shortly. It is planned to utilize the greater part the annex for sleeping apartments, thershy attaining a 400 room hotel. The eloventh floor will'be set apart as a spacious ballroom. The plans also involve an extensive rearrangement of the lobby equip- ment. UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND FOR COPPER METAL Has Resulted in an Advance in Price to 25 1-4 Cents. New York, Jan. 21.—An unprecedent- ed demand for copper metal from for- cign and domestic sources_resulted to- day in an advance in' the quotation to 24°3-1 to 25 1-4 cenis for delivery in the #secomd quarter -of ~the year. A price of 27 cents a pound ‘dvas re- iported to have been’offered for March at | delivery and rumors were current that '30 cents was bid for delivery in Feb- Tuary -which, however, could ‘not be confirmed. Not since March, 1907, when the metal stood at 27 1-2 cents e ‘pound for a short perfod, has copper been 50 high. Enormous Orders Placed. French and Russian interests have placed enormous orders in this mar- ket running into the first six months of the year.

These lines have branches throughout the region of the lower Nile, where is located the most productive of the world's cotton flelds From Cairo, one line follows the west- ern bank of the Nile, southward, to Nag Hamadl, ‘where it crosses to the east bank and runs to Luxor and A: souan in Upper Egypt, serving the 1 rigable and fertile core of the gnn sand-waste. “In the beginning of the English ad- ministration, the Egyptian State Rail- way was in a bad way.
