Morey Hale Bartow, who live the life of n rocluse in a ren@room on the upper floor of the Churchman building, 47 Lafayette place, died there suddenly on Christmas Eve. He was fifty-five years of age and a bach- elor, although he had spoken frequently to the janitor of his struggle to save the where. withal to set up for housckeeping when he should ** marry and gottle down in a nico Je home."”” He had been for years an ad. vertising agent for religions, papers and had written short works on religions topics. It scomed a wort of ma thhim. He was deeply interested in his own genenlogy and ed to himeelf that he was of the same y athan Hale, of Revolutionary fame, His great-grandiather was the founder and first pastor of old St. Paul's Church, and the grandson had just eansed to be made a brass tablet in’ his memory. : Mr. Bartow always derived a good income from his work, but his was such a kindly, charitable heart, that his earnings went con stantly to the aid of suffering and impover ished fellow beings. He was always kind ant pleasant to. Janitor Schaefter and his wife, and they alone were with him when he died. He had spoken of an aged mother and thre sisters whom he had supported at Logans- port, Ind. ‘the Rey, Drs. Prime and Stoddard, of the Observer, in whose office Mr. Bartow had a desk, were sent for by the janitor, and they haye wired the news of his death to his mother, No response has yet been received. Coroner Levy permitted the removal of the remains to the chapel of Dr. Deems's Church, in Winthrop place, and they haye been em. balmed by Sexton Atkinson. The wishes of tho aged mother will be complied with, but should no word come from her the body will be lnid in the receiving vault at Woodlawn on Wednesday and they will finally rest in the old Huguenot burying-ground at West- chester, for Mr. Bartow was of old Huguenot stock and very proud of it. Dra, Prime and Stoddard will in any event bear the attendant expenses. ———————— 10 ATTEND MR. MANNING'S FUNERAL, Pre mt Cleveland will Ge to Albany Ina Special Car.

J. P. Rolfe, David Barnett and W. FE. Davenport. ‘A figure has been placed on several houses by the Commission, and one house on Washington and two on Conbord street, which the ut owners have declined to sell at private sule, have et to be Valued, ‘The cost of the entire property 0 the Bridye Trustees will be about $235, 000. Whether or not the subject of the proposed further extension of the bridge structure will be brought up before the present Board of Trastees ts ‘@ matter that ls exciting cousiderable interest on the part of the taxpayersin every section of the city, It is turdiy thought — provable that the extension will be so quickly determined, however, 1n view of the strong ojposition which has for several weeks past been developing, while many of the trustees have already expressed them- selves as decidedly opposed to the scheme. Mr. Seth L. Keeney, a member of the Board, when approached on’ ine subject by a Worn re- porter, suld that be had not glven te mutter the consideration to which he thopght it was entitled to enable him to give an exptession of opinion either in favor of or against the extension. He thought that, ag there Were somb of the taxpayera both in favor of and opposed the bridge being taken to the City Hall, the wil of the majority should rule, ‘That a ferminng at the City Hail would be necessary in years td come he Uougnt was certain. Although’ Mr, Keeney has substantial interests, which, if the extension Is myle, would not bo Demented, he sald that this wohld most certainly not loduence his optuion in the fuatter, He woult cast his vote in the Board aa he always bad done, 1 the interests of the city. If Me thought himself hnabie to full the obligations which were Imposed on him to the city’s interest, he would resign from the Board. Mayor-clect Alfred (. Chapin was also visited, but declined for the present to express his views on the question of the proposed extension.

Dog-bitten men, women and children to the number of £00 have been treated for hydropnobia by the Keeve family at Bloomingdale, The litte white farin-house hard by the station has become the Mecca of all who have resson to dread an attwek of that most terrible malady, Over forty yeurs ago David If, Reeve said le had obtained a secret cure for hydrophobia, People were slow to place much credit {a Me statement until bis own son Waa bitteg, and the father trusted to his new remedy to cure lim.

We also tell them they must keep dry and not get heated while they are taking the medicine,” **Have you had any failures,” he was asked, ‘+ You” he replied. | +!

A guileless young man from some lonely rnral district drifted into one of the big dry- goods stores during a recent visit to New York. He was not without powers of obser- vation and discrimination. He passed a large case in which were cer- tain long silken objects that widened out towards the top. Some were pale blue, others the color of the olive; dark blue, coffee color, a delicate buff, pale pink and a rich solid magenta also greeted his eye in Instrous tints. Some of the objects’ were also heantifully embroidered in bright silks. May I ask what these are for?” he in- onired of s young woman who was tapping her finger with @ lead pencil, and who hu just said: Ca-nash 1” ‘* Ladies’ hose,” she answered, ‘“T don't see why they should be so beauti- ful and expensive when nobody sees th” — “Ca-ash |" said the young lady in a louder tone. The color in her cheek’ was a httle londer, too, Later in the day he passed a jeweller’s win- dow and saw some beautiful bracelets of silk with handsome gold clasps and precious stones set in them. . “May Linquire the purpose of these arti- cles? he asked of a young clerk, Ladies’ garters,” said the youth, Why, what use'in having such handsome inquired the investigator, in case of fire,” said the young fies with a dreamy smile and o far-away look. Still later the observing young man was in a downtown neighborhood where crowds of men are constantly passing. He was crossin, the street, when a young woman came out from a large store. She was wrapped in a long sealskin sacque and wore a dainty little bonnet. Her right hand was busied with bundles, while under her left arm was a Yorahire lap-dog. Her left hand held her ress, The dog was wobbly. She leaned over, a better grip and hoisted the sprawling thing up higher ; also her dress, ‘he observer saw a columnar, Peependle: ular, diverging as it rose, covered by a long, striped, black-and-white silk fabric. Just as he modestly averted his eye the twinkle of a aismtna near the column’s top caught his glance. “Oh!” he said, in the tone of one towhom a mystery is unfolded.
