MODERN APARTMENT HOTEL Some of the Later Wrinkle* to lie Fonuil lu It* Equipment. "The modern apartment hotel," said the manager of such an establishment, "Is likely to have for one of its fea tures a complete telephone system, with an exchange of Its own. Every tenant has a telephone in his own apartment, with local and long dis tance comfectlon. He can have this telephone right beside his bed, if he wants it there, so that he can telephone to anybody anywhere without getting lip. if he so desires. But it is for com munication within the house that this telephone system is brought into the most common and con stunt use. "It is not necessary, for instance, to send a boy up to the apartment to as certain if someliody whom a visitor de sires to see is In. We simply telephone from the office to the apartment and ascertain the fact in one-tenth the time It would take a t>oy to go and come. The tenant has a perfect means of in stant communication with the office without leaving his apartment at all. "The manager or superintendent on his part lias communication from bis office with the chef and with the en gineer and with the housekeeper, and so on, so that he can speak with any of these persons of the house staff or any of them can speak with him, all without any running to and fro, with out any loss of time. "Such an installation costs some thing, but on the other hand a house thus equipped requires only half as many hullboys as one without such equipment "A newer wrinkle Is the providing of a safe deposit lox for every tenant. A section of the big bouse safe is divided into separate small locked com partments, one of which is set apart for each tenant. "Though the apartments may not be designed for housekeeping, the tenants at their pleasure eating in the dining ixxmi of the hotel or elsewhere, as they see fit, yet the modern apartment hotel has a refrigerator lu every compart ment; this for wine and fruit and that sort of thing. In some buildings no ice is used in these refrigerators, which are cold storage rooms in miniature, kept cold by means of a refrigerating plant Installed in the basement, with ft system of piping extending to every refrigerator box. In some buildings ice refrigerators are preferred, these of course being specially designed for the use. "In one house there have been built, for example, refrigerators designed to hold an Ice block of a specified size, the ice being supplied by the house, the tenant having nothing to bother with about it ut all. At fixed Intervals, ac cording to the weather, the house re moves whatever ice may be remaining in the ice compartment of the re frigerator and puts in a new block. In the latest of modem apartment hotels, in apartments not designed for house keeping, which may be hud in any number of rooms from two up, a re frigerator and bathroom of course would be found in a two room apart ment, the same as in any other."—-New York Sun. Crlmmlni' Autograph*. One of John D. Crimmius' fads the collecting of autograph letters, and of these he possesses an exceptionally line collection. There are one or more let ters written by each of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, sav ing only Lynch and Gwinnett, and of these he has autograph signatures. There are also letters written by dis tinguished generals and other officers in the Revolutionary war. letters pen ned by the various presidents of the United States and by other famous Americans, historians, poets and states men as well as letters of Carlyle, Hunt, Moore and other celebrated English men. His collection of letters of the mayors of New York was recently ex hibited at the Lenox library. Each series of letters has its own hand somely engrossed cover, and in order to protect his treasures from fire Mr. Crimmius has had safes built in the basement of his city residence in East Sixty-cightli street, the safes being con cealed by handsome doors, so that they in no way detract from the appearance of the room in whose walls they are placed.—New York Times. Soda Wafer Fire Kstliiff al*liera. Every mixer of egg chocolates, Ice cream sodas and other summer drinks can have Ids own chemical engine if he takes Chief Mushain's advice. Three feet of hose and the apparatus is com plete. If a fire breaks out In one cor ner of the drug store, all the mixer has to do Is to attach the hose to the soda fountain and turn on the water charged with carbonic acid gas. The mixer will be able to shoot a stream of water over the heads of his patrons and into the corner, and when the department arrives there will be nothing to do but turn in the "fire out" report. "Druggists generally realize the val ue of soda fountains for extinguishing fires," said the chief, "but they have not carried the idea far."—Chicago Tribune. A Shocking; Thief. A thief lately anVsted in Madrid car ried a concealed electric battery con nected with a metallic plate which lie bore in his right hand. He would approach a man offering his hand in friendly fashion. If the man responded by clasping the outstretched hand, an overpowering shock was the result and the thief would get through his work and away befpre the victim recovered. The SPORTING WORLD YOIOIIPM, a Fnnionii Skipper. Paring the America's cup races off Sandy Hook next month the work of the men In command of the fleet 90 footers will attract much attention.

Captain Uriah Rhodes of the Ilerre shoff built sloop Constitution Is one of the best known yachting experts In America, and there is no doubt In the hearts of his countrymen that he will guide the graceful era ft to a decisive TJKIAH RHODES, victory 6ver the Shamrock 11. Captain Rhodes Is a native of Long Island, N. Y., and obtained his primary lessons In seamnnshlp on hoard an oyster dredger. Captain Rhodes sailed the Defender when she was a trial boat for the Co lumbia. lie was before the mast on the sloop Atlantic when she tried for cup honors against the Puritan and May flower. He served as mate on the Vol unteer and since then Ims served on many different vessels. It was In 1898, when he took com mand of the Defender, that Captain Rhodes became widely known, nnd when W. Butler Duncan announced that he wns to hold the wheel of the Constitution general satisfaction wns expressed, lie is a man of fine physical proportions and is noted for his con servatism. New York's New Race Track. The plan of New York {State Senator Timothy 1). Sullivan and his associates among Tammany Hall politicians to construct a new race course near New York city has taken delinlte shni>e, nnd negotiations for the purchase of real estate u mile and a half from Jamaica, on the line of the southern branch of the Long Island railroad, have been opened and terms agreed on. The property comprises about 110 acres at a point where a new station, to be known as lx>cust, is to he establish ed, the railroad ofllelnls having prom ised their aid In the carrying out of the scheme. There also will be trolley line conveniences. The land will require no grading, as It now Is level, as Is most of tie surrounding country. There Is also plenty of water easily accessible. It Is said that the actual work of lay ing out and constructing the race track will begin In iK) days, and plans agreed upon provide for completion by March 3, 3902. An oval mile and a "shoot" furnishing a straight course of five and a half furlongs will be built. At all points the "shoot" und the main track will be 110 feet wide. The grand stand will be 500 feet In length. Whether it will be a wood or steel structure has not been decided. A commodious clubhouse will also be erected. The betting ring will be twice as large as the largest lnclosure for bookmakers and their customers pro vided by any club now racing on Long Island. Articles of Incorporation will Im* filed within a month for the now racing as sociation, which Is to be known as tbe Metropolitan Jockey club. Those Inter ested in the new association assert that the stock has all been subscribed for. The "Kanßnpoo" Start. Of the hundreds of thousands of per sons who witness college or other ath letic sports probably not one In a hun dred thousand persons knows how the peculiar crouching or "kangaroo" start of the sprinters originated. Eleven years ago every sprinter stood up to the mark with one arm extended. At the crack of the pistol he brought his arm down hard and leaped for ward. This start was considered the p 1*01)0r thing. Now not one sprinter In a score uses this method. Instead they crouch with hands as well as feet upon the ground. This start was discovered by accident in May, 1890, by Tommy Lee, at that time one of the crack sprinters of the New York Athletic club. Soon afterward he became the champion of the world, and several of his records made In Canada still stand as records of that counti*3*. The Olympian Gnmaa. It is said that over half of the $500,- 000 necessary to secure the Olympian games for Chicago In 3904 has already been pledged. In case the rest cannot be secured the University of Chicago lias offered Its campus as a site for the stadium, thus effecting a considerable saving. Nevertheless the Windy City Is undertaking a big contract, for un tler the terms of the award the city Is pledged to pay the expenses of the vis iting athletes. Intrpnattonal PololM*. Foxhnll I'.

Greenlee had gone about for several days bowed down with the weight of a great seeret. Ills vigilant little wife hud exhausted her bountiful store of expedients In trying to dis cover the mystery. Cajolery, threats, wheedling, expostulation, argument, all the Intricate wiles employed by skillful women to get nt the Inner thoughts of her lord and master, were brought into play without avail. Finally she became desperate, and to mollify her Greenlee intimated that he was planning a Joyous surprise for her. He let fall the hint that he had been on the right side of the stocks in a recent deal und "wifey" wns going to reap the benefit. Beyond this he would not utter a word. At last ho announced with a grand flourish that his surprise was ripe. Without going into any details he would simply suggest that any one who wus interested might have his or her curiosity satistled by securing a position nt the front windows nt or about 2 o'clock that afternoon. Then he hastened away, despite the almost angry protests of "wifey" that he cer tainly should tell her in advance of the others. But Greenlee was obdurate. "The surprise Is for you, dearie," he snid, "and I want it to be complete. I shall look for you at the front window up stairs about 2 o'clock, and when you see what It is you will forgive me for not telling you and spoiling it all." As soon ns he hud departed all the women In the house Immediately went into executive session for the four hundredth time since they had first noticed symptoms of Greenlee's secret All of the old straw was vigorously thrashed over, but they were finally forced to give up the problem. Just ns they had done before. Then Mrs. Greenlee went up stairs and Indulged in a spiteful little cry all by her lone some. After this she bathed her eyes, put on her best clothes, eradicated the tear stains with plentiful dabs of pow der, and hunted up the other women to see if any of them had evolved a working Idea, but they were still groping in the dark. Meanwhile the day wore on nud 2 o'clock was approaching. The resi dents of the house lined up nt the win dows after much sparring for the best positions. The little ormolu clock chimed the hour of 2, and five pairs of eyes searched the avenue up and down, but there was no trace of Earl Green lee and his monstrous "surprise." Occasionally some one would go to the street door and peer through flic maze of vehicles and Individuals thronging the avenue, and It was even suggested that opera glasses might be used to ad vantage. Then the clock struck the hour of 3. "Dear me!" said Mrs. Greenlee, bouncing to her feet. "1 had an engage ment with the church committee of which 1 am chairman at 3 o'clock. It will never do to miss it. and I'm golr.g, surprise or no surprise. I have already waited an hour for Mr. Greenlee, and now lie can wait nil hour for me. Tie my face veil, please: I'm in a dreadful hurry. l>enr me! I was never late in my life before, and It's all on account of Earl Greenlee and his exasperating mystery." Ten minutes later she was whirling down the avenue In a cab she laid hulled at the corner, busily engaged In framing a suitable excuse for Iter tardi ness, when the cab slowed up. "What Is the matter, cabman? 1 told you to drive rapidly. Von must not stop until we reach the church." "Had to stop, mem; there's some thin doln ahead of us here, and my horse Is skenrt." Mrs. Greenlee opened the cab door and peered out. Then she stepped out. Just ahead of them, careening from one side of the avenue to the other, butting sidewalks nud lampposts, madly charging the curbing, roaring, hissing and snorting, was an automo bile. Finally the unruly machine gave one triumphant lunge, vainly tried to climb up the solid stone wall of a club house and fell back, broken and help less, a mass of twisted steel nnd pungent gasoline. Then the wreck of a man pried him self loose from the smoking debris and flopped down on the edge of the side walk, where he swore softly and scraped the oil from what remained of his garments. "Dear me! I wonder If the man is badly hurt?" said Mrs. Greenlee ns she adjusted licr heliotrope toque nnd walked over to where he was sitting. The man looked up. Smudges of dust nnd oil, streaks of gasoline, traces of blood and shreds of clothing adorned his countenance. "Merciful heavens—Earl Greenlee!" screamed his wife, throwing her hands into the air nud threatening to collapse. "That's all right, dearie: I'm not hurt." Then he slowly nnd painfully arose nnd surveyed the wreckage be side him. "I ordered this automobile three week 9 ago—meant to give It to you—guess I have not had time to learn it yet, but 1 Intended to surprise you." "Well, well!" said little Mrs. Green lee, panting with excitement and wringing her hands. "Well, you've cer tainly surprised me. Yes, you've been even more successful than that—you've shocked me. Now, get right into tills cab nnd let me hurry you home before any of our friends see you." The church committee fretted and stewed and conjectured, but the able chairman did not come. The other residents of tlie Greenlee house kept ceaseless vigil nt the front windows, but they were disappointed, for ills wife sneaked him in the back way.— Chicago Kecord-Uerald.
