DANCE-HALL DECADENCE. -In the Evening World's series of studies of “Lost Vidghts of the Tenderloin" one fact of particular interest ‘Brought out has heen the amount of capital required to fit up a dance-hall or other resort to make {t popular ‘and to insure the large profits certain to reward shrewd | m™me@hagement. They were investments paying handsome _ returns. Thus Corey, though spending nearly $40,000 © Yu'decorating and embellishing the Haymarket, was ablo 88 a result of the large patronage to retire with a for- tune in the hundred thousands. Sharkey spent $40,000 _his profitable Fourteenth street resort. Ackron $168,000 from the Tivol! after a lavish outlay for Interior decoration. Whiskey at 25 cents a drink ts re- ) munerative. Is the dance-hall declining into the sere and yellow Neat? Apparently, for thers is now none in Manhattan able in elegance or quality of attendance with | the Haymarket of the golden age of Tenderloin vice "when everything was wide open. And there are indica- 4 of an approaching law and order regime at Coney Island which will suppress them there also. There are east-side resorts surviving, but chairs and tables, a bar “gpd a wheezy orchestra do not suffice; they have no charms for a Haymarket crowd. Even the Bowery Is led.

Cochrane, now twenty-nine, might haye been thought to have made as great a suc- cess of life as a young man need desire. Seven years after leaving college he could point to the presidency of ‘one of the world’s largest textile industries and the pos- session of a bank account of several hundred thousand > aa proofs of industry and talent well rewarded. Now, to add to these acquisitions, comes a legacy of $14,- 000,000, wealth of fabulous proportions even in a day pf muiti-mi)lions. ‘What will he do with !t? The query about old Mid- Meton’s money may be repeated with regard to young Cochrane's. Yachts? Automobiles? Ten-thov foliar dinners? Mr, Cochrane is said to be a man of quiet tastes, “with no fashionable fads.” Probably, then, old masters, rare tapestries and an appropriate palace to house them, possibly imported from Italy, like Mrs. Jack Gardner's. Remotely possible, a chain of libraries or east-side boys’ clubs or social settlement benefactions. . ‘Phe administration of wealth so great imposes great obligations. The ordinary young man of twenty-nine, ‘whose entire year's living expenses could be pald out ‘at one day’s income from $14,000,000, would doubtless be found incompetent even to spend properly its yearly revenue of more than half a million. After the new experience with unaccustomed luxuries brought satiety, would he not find it difficult to account justly to him- self for his increased expenditure and a bore to dispose ‘of bis large income in a way to have It do most good? ‘A man 80 rich that one day’s income will buy him more champagne than he cares to drink in a year !s necessa- Tily obliged to adopt a new point of view with regard to the pleasures of the table, as of other pleasures. “As a matter of fact, the education of a youth for the satisfactory hand!ing of great wealth ‘s Mr. Cochrane’s demonstrated business capacity shows that he js exceptionally well equipped to be the heir of Mr. Smith's million: STUDYING SOCIOLOGY.

Tell them that the card which they told you to stop at is the ace of spades; then pull the cards off the pack with the bottom card, which will be the ace of spades. Another trick is to get about twenty cards, and as you slide them off, hold- ing them back to you, call them off. To do this you must bend the cards s0 as to get a look at a corner. It is simple and easy. : Try to make a person think you are going to do something wonderful. Get @ pack of cards and lay them face down- ‘ward on the table.

THE GIRL. HAS BEEN FOUND Anp MONEY Pain \ i HE BEGAN AS AN OFFICE BOY AND EVOLVED INTO A STORM-CENTRE. IS real name was Ignacio Boccadeleone Palitzka. Thite name hurt people's throats and jarred their sense of the unities, For it sounded lke a cross between © Rhine-wine lst and a Russo-Liallan Zwetbund. So he js known as Fogarty. Fogerty 1s nearly three feet high, but his voice has an up- per register that makes Melba’s sound like the hollow groan ofa Roman mow. It has no lowcr register at all. When he first floated into the office he assailed the sters City Editor thus: “Say, boss, I'm not lookin’ fer a situation. Just a plaim Job'll be good enough fer me for th’ present. Am I onk" “What can you do?" asked the City Editor, with due ree spect. “Dat's fer you to find out after you've watched me action long enough to dope me up. Dere's one t'Ing I can put you onter right now, though. I'm not in any ‘also limped’ clase, You won't find me trallin’ back among de buggies an’ buek- boards, I'll be right up close behind de hearse troo' é@ whole procession. Now, what'll I do first?” “You'll go home and grow for a year," was the City Kab tor's dictum. And Fogarty went. In just one year to the day Fogarty reappeared, proudly an- nouncing the fact that from two-feet-nine-and-a-half he had now stretched to the dizzy hetght of two-feet-eleven, % Against improvement lke this not even a City Editors © | heart was proof. Fogarty was forthwith turned loose in the office on a real salary. For nearly ten minutes he was a model to every office boy in sight. Then followed five minutes of @uctuating currents, After which Fogarty took a permanent place as a’ miniature storm-centre. y That day thore were five fights among the usually peace- ful office boys; three telegraph operators and two typewriters found their machines put out of order; an elevator was cat was mysteriously and eccentrically striped with purple inkt and maoctlage, and a fearful falsetto voloe continuously spilt the decorous quiet of the busy rooms. In every one of these outrages the slow-moving finger ef Justice pointed unerringly to the abandoned Fogarty. At 5 o'clock the City Editor, having collected evidence from the weeping office boys, profane telegraphers and in- dignant reporters, summoned Fogart; “Here's an order for a week's pay," he said. “You necdaft come bacik.'* “How's dat?’ thundered Fogarty. “You'd sidestep, would yer, an’ make {t'me to de home circle? Well, you lose; see? I'm here ter rise in dis perfeshun, an’ maybe eome day to hold down dat very chair you're cfty-editin’ in. If youse try ter put de glad kibosh on me I'll git a court order to restrain you. Maybe you t’ought I was from de dear old farm an* didn't know me rights! Well, here's where I stay, an’ if I hear of any one tryin’ to upheave me, why, he'll find out what I t'ink of him. I'm in a perfeshun now, and I mean to hang onto {t. Does that go, boss?” "It" went. Fogarty didn't, WOMEN AND ‘X SCIENCE,’® Her gown was a dream; indeed dt lacked so much of realty that those who, passing her, were not caught by the beauty of her form, face and garb shivered n the raw wind for sympathy. “You ought to have your jacket, dear," her escort said, “What, that old thing?
