?-MRS.CORDONINA “DENOF REMORSE Woman, for Whom Claude M. Stillman Furnished House in Lavish Style, Awaits Auction Sale of Her Furniture. TAWDRY, TASTELESS, FINERY ll Paintings by the Square Foot, Wall Papers that Clash with Fur- niture, Chairs, Tables, Statues Heaped Together in Confusion, ‘When the auctioneer Invades the house @t No. X9 West One Hundred and First street to-morrow to sell under the ham- mer the furnishings of the home fitted up for Mrs. Bika Gordon by Claude L. Gtlliman, former secretary for Gov. Mur- hy, now under arrest on charge of em- ‘bezzloment. he will demoiish a residence furnished so lavishly that its gorgeous- mess is tawdry, flaring, and in the worst poswible taste. The place looks as if {% was furnished in one day by some pauper, who had read of palaces and had euddeniy come into a fortune. ‘Way up on the top floor and tn a back ali-room with furnishings that are mis- erable compared with the rest of the (house ts the resting place of the woman @pon whom all this lavishness was, wast- a. Mrs, Gordon now sleeps there in a Mitte white tron bed. She Is in seclu- @ion, She sees no one. It ts said by those who know ‘her that she has been trying to communicate with Stillman’s wife, who with her children has gone to a distant city. It is diMcult to imag- fe why she should wish to correspond mith the woman whose home she aasist- ed to wreck. ‘The house is now known as the “House ef Mystery,” and a friend in pointing ut the little hali-bedroom eaid: “And that is the ‘den of misery—per- fhaps of remorse.’"” A Vicious Nightmare. ‘The furnishings of the house are es- mated to be worth about $30,000. What they will bring under the hammer is yet to be seen, The thing which most impresses the visitor into this ruined @ream of Infelicity is the walls. Each ‘wall {s covered with paper which looks Uke @ vicious nightmare. It 1s gold and yellow and purple and green, and expensive. Evidently unsatisfied with the paper, the furnisher has covered every available square foot with oll paintings of the most astonishing colors ‘which will not blend. The purchasers evidently ordered 200 oll paintings costing so much, “with bright gold frames." Then the hired man hung them. In the English reception hall on the ground floor are piled chairs, settees ‘and tables in confusion, On the floor -ere-a patr-of great Persian allk rugs. Standing against a wal: Is an enormous early Dutch clock with an array cylin- rical chimes. About the room, in every conceivable and possible spot stands a bronze statue or model, Tavdry Tasteless Wealth. Up a short flight of stairs is the @rawing-room. That 1s a gold room. Chairs—so many of them that they touch and scratch each other—hide a collection of Oriental rugs that repre- gent a large expenditure. ‘One gets dizzy counting these chairs, ego and upholstered in the most Jarring red plush. Each one ls a work of art alone, but this bewildering plen- ttude gives ‘the impression of a storage warehouse. This truly is tawdry wealth, ‘Back of the parlor is the music-room. In one corner, jammed flat againat the wall, is an upright concert plano of ebony casing. The rest of the room 18 filled with tables and settees and @tatues, ‘The two bedrooms on the next floor have massive brass beds or ornate architecture, many pleces of mahogany and dozens’ of vases. No taste here, ¢ither, Just lavishness, In the dining-room Js a magnificently carved sideboard and a cabinet of rich gut glass and six expensive sets of din- mer china. FRIENDLY GAMES ARE 0. K. Magistrate Crane Scores the Police for Making Gambling Arrests, ‘All the prisoners arrested by Acting Capt. Brown, of the Fifth street station, and his detectives, Mallon and Garrison, Jast night, chargtd with gambling, were discharged by Magistrate Crane in Yorkville Court to-day. The places raided were No. 32 Second ‘venue and No. 7 Second avenue, both restaurants. Fifteen men were arrested who admitted they were playing friend- ly games of cards. Magistrate Crane roundly scored De- tective Mallon and the police force in general for arresting the “little gam- bere" and allowing the “big gamblers” to remain unmoteste “Would you come If my house and ar- rest_me if J was playing a game of cards with fr ‘asked Magistrate Crane of tne ive, and upon Mallon in the negative sald e the prisoners, TICKET AGENT.

Michael and Patrick McCarthy, of No. 1683 Park avenue, asserted that Angelo Zocchante and Anselmo Bucozzi had held them up and drawn knives on them | when they resisted. The Itallans said; the McCarthys hed tried to hold them up. They asked for a chance to bring witnesses, and Magigtrate Mott post- poned the case. The McCarthys say they had been calling on friends, and were accosted at Fifth avenue and One Hundred and} Eighteenth street by the Itallans, who! Insisted they buy them a drink. The McCarthys passed on, but when they were going through Mount Morris Park they charge that the Itallans met them again and assaulted them. Persons In the nelghborhood flocked around and the Italians ran. The police nabbed them after a long chase and locked them up over night. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED.

Miss Featherstone has !den- tifled Riordan as her assailant. He de- nies all knowledge of the affair. Coward Good Sense Shoe For Everybody. The shoe that doesn’t fit at the instep and arch, doesn't fit at all. That takes away ease and flexibility at “ball” and toes. The foot slips forward every step. It loses its spring.
