OUR NEW YORK LETTER Snap Shots at Random, In a Gossipy Phrase In the hope of arresting the extinction of the robin red breast, Mrs. Russell Sage this week gave the Audubon Society $15,000 to provide protection for that bird, which gladdens life in the north in the summer and in the south in the winter. For several years the Audubon society claims there has been a marked decline in the species due to its ruthless killing. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of the Audubon Society attributes a good part of the decline of the bird to the predilection in the south for robin pie. The money given to the society by Mrs. Sage is to be used for educational work in the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North and South Carolina. Abas with the seductive French waltz and the more sprightly whirl of the Germans. No more the dreamy, gently undulating twirl of the old world dances of Strauss and his Hungarian prototypes. Henceforth the vogue will be a compromise between the slow French and the more rapid Teutonic waltz. The decree was issued the other day by the National Association of the Masters of Dancing, which held a three days convention in this city to discuss improvements in their calling. The new waltz will be no less than fifty-five measures to the minute. All of the learned professors present subscribed to the change and adopted an iron-bound rule to enforce it in their schools. ally adopting a 25-year-old nurse as his daughter in order that she might have a legal right to preside over his household and be near him all the time. The wife says she was forced out of her home, and that her husband turned over to the woman who displaced her all his valuable patents and rights in inventions he owned. Thirteen different cases in which the wives averred that affinities had de- throned them in the affections of their husbands in one week is a record for even so strenuous a town as New York. And this in spite of the law, which makes it an offense punishable by six months' imprisonment to be convicted of being a full-fledged, dyed-in-the-wool affinity. There has been a good deal of criticism heard these days apropos of the promiscuous advertising use of the American flag carried to the North Pole by Commander Peary. At various times during the last few months it has been loaned to various business houses along Broadway for display in their show windows in connection with the goods they have to sell. By many this flag, with its patched pieces, has a sentimental association with the greatest achievement of modern times,which makes its employment for purely commercial uses peculiarly inappropriate. Its proper place many think is in the Museum of Natural History, which did so much to encourage popular interest and provide the funds to enable Peary to make his frequent expeditions to the Arctic in the last 20 years. To those who think this way, its present use as a side-show for cash registers and other commercial articles is a prostitution of the national emblem, which puts it in line with the professional barkers and "puller in" men of the east side. of Dr. James C physician who this week to pro- a legal separat- and'socks and clothing.

You may have your bottle, but if you want the bird, which we are told is a necessary attribute to it on all fixed occasions, you have to pay the piper a fancy price for it in this city these days. In the Supreme Court this week, one Antonio Andrujar, a wealthy importer, was fined $4920 for having a canned partridge in his possession. Officials of the State Game Department testified that they found the pickled bird in his establishment when the law interdicted the shooting of game birds in the state or their exposure for sale. Andrujar's plea that the bird in question had been shot and canned in Europe did not avail him as a defence. Whereat those gourmonts who have been accused to regaling themselves nightly at the Waldorf, the St. Regis, and the Plaza Hotels with the delicacy are now bewailing the severity of the law which denies them the pleasure their esthetic appetites crave. In some of the fashionable hotels and restaurants the bird is still obtainable, but only behind doors that are padlocked and sealed against the intrusion of the game warden. As a further safeguard, it is known by the less euphonious designation of "roast pig." But then a rose by any other name—enough said. Recent statistics compiled in this city indicate that there are now enrolled in the various Sunday schools maintained for the christianizing of Chinese, some 1000 celestials. It is one of those anomalies which is hard to explain that the attendance at these schools has appreciably increased since the terrible fate of Elsie Sigel, the pretty granddaughter of General Franz Sigel, who after being murdered by one of her Chinese pupils was thrown into a trunk. Interest in this tragedy was revived this week by the offering for probate of the will of Miss Alethea Mason Carter, a teacher in one of these schools, who left $10,000 in cash and personal property to Wong Hong Hoey, a pupil. In disposing of her estate the woman appropriate. Its proper place many think is in the Museum of Natural History, which did so much to encourage popular interest and provide the funds to enable Peary to make his frequent expeditions to the Arctic in the last 20 years. To those who think this way, its present use as a side-show for cash registers and other commercial articles is a prostitution of the national emblem, which puts it in line with the professional barkers and "puller in" men of the east side. People who use straw mattresses, says the last issue of the Government Health Report from Washington, run the risk of being attacked by the straw itch. The irritation is due to the presence in the straw of a garrulous little parasite that is never so happy as when chewing holes in the hide of some poor recumbent mortal. In the Bowery lodging houses owned by the Astors and by the Trinity Church Corporation, the little demon of prey is said to be unduly ravenous these torrid days in New York and to have been responsible for several small sized riots among the unfortunates who frequent them. Dr. Lederie, commissioner of health, who is much interested in the Washington report, is about to inaugurate a crusade against the little vagrant, and to that end will have linen mattresses substituted in all of the public houses of the city. The alarm caused by the government report has induced the city hospitals to decide to do likewise. If it happened in those good old feudal days when the Lord of the Barony ran things pretty much as his caprice suggested it is probable that the woman who has opened a boarding house opposite the palatial home of J. Pierrepont Morgan, at 37th St. and Madison avenue, might be found at the bottom of a moat one of these fine mornings. This is the first time in the history of that aristocratic section of Murray Hill that the sordid hand of business has sought to defile the unobtrusive elegance of the neighborhood, and, as might be expected, it grates on the nerves of the financially and socially elect who have been living there for years. With a keen sense of business acumen the boarding house mistress has turned to good profit she enjoys in having as neighbors one of the most distinguished colonies of world famous men to be found anywhere on earth.

Interest in this tragedy was revived this week by the offering for probate of the will of Miss Alethea Mason Carter, a teacher in one of these schools, who left $10,000 in cash and personal property to Wong Hong Hoey, a pupil. In disposing of her estate the woman ignored several of her relatives, who will probably contest the will on the ground of undue influence. What strange spell is it which these almond-eyed sons of Confucius cast over their American teachers that seems to enchant them? Perhaps it is a manifestation of religious fervor, a sense of that spiritual exaltation that numbs the customary mental poise of the good women who are in this work. Out of the strange association within recent years several marriages have developed and not a few scandals. But neither the fear of the one or the danger of the other appears to have exerted any modifying influence upon the ordor of the teachers, who seemingly prefer teaching the doctrines of the gentle Nazarene to the purveyors of Chop Suey and their more humble brethren of the laundries than to white men. It's a problem for the psychologist to solve. They should get busy at once. Affinities continue to be a necessar evil in New York, if one were to judge from the frequency with which they have been thrusting themselves into the matrimonial arena of late. This week Frederick Falding, a wealthy engineer, was charged by his wife in one of the local courts with employing the ingenious plan of legal unobtrusive elegance of the neighborhood, and, as might be expected, it grates on the nerves of the financially and socially elect who have been living there for years. With a keen sense of business acumen the boarding house mistress has turned to good profit the advantage she enjoys in having as neighbors one of the most distinguished colonies of world famous men to be found anywhere on earth. It begins to look as if the government may have made a big blunder in its summary raid last week on the executive offices of the United Wireless Co. Instead of being a paper concern as represented by the post-office department, which directed the raid, it now appears that the United Wireless has more than 100 wireless stations in commercial operation along the Atlantic coast, engaged night and day in transmitting messages to and from ships at sea. In addition some 400 ships traversing the Atlantic and employed in the coastwise service, are equipped with its apparatus. In its attack upon the business integrity of the company it is claimed the post office department was unduly advised, since the official list of the world's wireless stations, issued in September last by the Navy Department, shows that the United maintains three times as many stations as the Marconi and all the other wireless companies combined. In view of this there is a strong likelihood that retributive measures will be taken by the company against those officials who are responsible for the effort to discredit it.

Phone Pacific Main 1551, Anaheim. je16-tf While San Francisco and New Orleans are struggling to convince congress of the equities of their respective claims for recognition as the place in which to hold the proposed Panama Exposition, it is interesting to note the eagerness shown by New York's representative business merchant to pour cold water on the suggestion of an exposition here in 1913. It will be recalled that it was in 1613 that the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam—the original name of the old city—was founded. For some months a certain element in town has been fostering a movement—for which we are indebted to our own Teddy—to commemorate that historic event with an exposition. The committee recently appointed by Mayor Gaynor to consider its advisability has intimated to His Honor that they do not think it would be a good business proposition. The experience of Philadelphia, which suffered for years after the Centennial Exposition of 1876, and of other cities that have sponsored expositions since that time, has served to discourage such shows among metropolitan business men, who regard them as a blight rather than a help to a community. Financially they are rarely if ever successful, and usually leave behind them a horde of non-producing men and women who contribute nothing to the city's prosperity and material advancement. To those of us who are perennially nauseated by the barter and exchange that generally marks the marriage of an American girl to a European of title, the absence of any suggestion of a money settlement in connection with the marriage in London last week of Mildred Carter, the beautiful daughter of John Ridgely Carter, the American Minister to the Balkan States, to Viscount Acheson, is pleasing to note. From beginning to end it had the stamp of a real, wholesome love affair, and agreeably upsets the motion forced upon us of late years by international matchmakings that our American girls have no attraction for noble suitors from across the water except that predicated upon a counting room basis. We can start with Lillie Hammersley, who married the father of the present Duke of Marlborough, and go down the whole line, which includes the present Duke, who married Consuelo Vanderbilt; May Goelet, who became the Duchess of Roxburghe; Miss Zimmerman, now the wife of the Earl of Westminster; Anita Stewart, now the Princess of Braganza; Anna Gould, now the Du PURSUE FOREIGN NOBLEMEN Proposed to by Women, But Declines Both Offers Anent the subject of international marriages, the Baron H. von Baldinger-Seldenberg of Wurtemberg, contributed an illuminating chapter recently before his return for Germany. The baron has been here four months, confessedly seeking an opportunity to annex an American bride, and claims that two eligible young women proposed to him. So anxious was the father of one of them to cement the bonds, the baron avers, that he offered to pay all of his debts and provide him with a substantial marriage settlement to boot. The nobleman says such a sordid and businesslike method of negotiating a marriage was so contrary to the recognized code d'amour prevailing abroad that he was constrained to decline both offers. Commenting on his experiences, the baron took occasion to resent the frequently made insinuation that impecuous foreign noblemen pursue wealthy American women with marriageable designs. "It's the women who pursue the noblemen," he affirmed with some heat; and if the noble suitors succumb—well, they can't help it. There was something in the manner of the foreigner as he sailed away, unencumbered with the American wife he came here to conquer, that suggested disappointment, and gave rise to the suspicion that such American women as he had met had shown a deficient sense of appreciation of his desirability as a life partner. The failure of his mission here he feared would greatly chagrin his mother, because he was the last of his race,and it was her desire that he should marry. There is still hope, however, for he is going to return to us in the fall. ONE WEAK SPOT Most Anaheim People Have a Weak Part and Too Often It's the Back Everyone has a weak spot.
