But He Declares the Place Was Never Used as a Gambling- House and Was Never Intend- ed for One. Frank Farrell has offered his cele- brated “fortified” house at No, 66 West Forty-fifth street to the highest bidder. The passing of this house, with its steel dgors, barred windows and secret Staircase, into strange hands, means that Frank Farrell is going out of the Gambling business. Not that Farrell has ever admitted that he was in the gambling business. He has repeatedly denied that he had any interest in pool- rooms, roulette wheels or faro banks, that he ever had any Interest in such places or ever. expecied to hi Farrell even repudiated the famous Thirty-third street pulaca with Its tapestries, its rugs and its art treas- ures, which popular rumor credited to Made Sporting Men Grin, Frank Farrell's protesiations of non- fnterest In gambling have always made the sporting world grin. But there g@eems to be no doutit now that Farrell fs going to get rid of the Forty-ffth street place, for here is what he said 0-day on the subject: “My house at No. 68 West Forty- Afth street will be gold at public auction on Thureday in the Real-Estate Ex- change by Joseph P.

I shall continue my interest in racing, keeping a emall stable, but my principal interests will be baseball.” » Iufinenced by Hin Wife. Frank Farrell's devision to practically quit gambling 1s said to be due to the influence of his wife. Twenty years ago they were poor; to-day Farrell ts worth close to $1,000,000. He lives in a mag- nificent home at No, 139 West Seventy- Grst street; his wife has horses, carri- ages and servants—nothing to wish for but her husband. ‘Wh his varied interests Farrell, has had little. time to devote to domestic Ufe.

They are particularly well cut and very beautifully tailored from fabrics not usually made up except at high prices. In fact, the fit, set, swing and general stylish appear- ance of these Suits and Overcoats cause them to be mistaken usually for $25 and $30 garments. The actual value on our close scale of figuring is $15. The special price is Rich Black and Oxford Meltons, madé with broad, shapely shoulders; a full, big, generous, handsome coat; luxuri- ously lined with fine silk serge; silk velvet collar; In all respects the sort of a garment that makes the man, We believe that no reader of these lines ever saw an equal coat marked a penny under $30 except in this store, 6 Even with our close figuring $25 is the lowest—until now. We have — made entirely too many of this one — lot, and believe a big, quick loss is best. The special price is.... Certainly an unusual chance for men who want about the finest there is.
