For a great many years doctors ronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a con- stitutional dis: ase, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

Depuy is world-famou: for his jokes, and his reputation as :— serious thinker often suffers from hh almost continuous performance as e wit. It is not often, however, that the members of the press are victims 0! his wiles; but in the case of his re ported engagement they seem 'to have been misled by their own desire for 5 story. When the announcement was made that Miss Collins was engaged to Re chid Bey, and was really not to marry Mr. Depuy, the latter laid back in his chair at breakfast and laughedalong mellow laugh. “That’s the best joke I’ve had on the boys of the press since I declined to accept a nomination for President,” he soliloquized. “Ovei eighty columns of assertion and denial in the New York papers alone! I told every one of ’em it wasn’t true, but they refused to believe me.” Miss Collins, on her mother’s side. is a relation of the Vanderbilts. He] grandmother was Mrs. Horace Clark, a daugher of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Her mother was Miss Lulu Clark, who became Mrs. Clarence Lyman Collins. Mr. and Mrs. Collins were divorced, and the wife married an Englishman named Midford, and upon his death, a Frenchman called Souvcrvillc. Upon her death, which 00(‘l‘.l'l't a two years ago, her fortune de- scuuled to the daughter, Miss Edith Collins. Mr. Collins also married a second time, his present wife being formerly Miss Rose Beecher, an ac- tress. Thirty-five men with pointed beards sat down to dinner in a restaurant in Fifth avenue not long ago. They were members of the "social organization formed by men who are addicted to the Vandye variety of whiskers. Every member of the society has to subscribe - to the following oath of allegiance: “I do solemnly swear by my beard that so long as I shall remain a mem- ber of the Society of Pointed Beards I will support and defend the beards of my fellow members, as well as my own, against all barber's, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to'the same; that I take this obligation freely, and will allow no man to pluck me by the beard and throw it in my face.” The invitations were printed on crimson paper, and bore at their head a. representation of a he-‘goat rampant, bearing in outstretched paws a huge tankard of a fluid resembling beer. The waiters wore false Vandyke whiskers, as the society would not tol- eratc smooth—faced men about it in any capacity. A Washington man" who came to New York for a visit and probably didn’t have enough money to pay his hotel bill, tells a Star reporter what impressed him most in the metropolis. , “I think I was most struck,” he said, "by a dachshund that I saw trudging calmly up the street at the. busiest time of day. You know the animal. He looks as if nature had started in to make a lizard. and finding that he was growing too big, had turned him into a dog. His body doesn’t stand more than five 'or six inches from the ground, and his paws look like flippers on a seal. He’s the most extraordi- nary anatomical specimeu I know of” “But you surely don’t mean to say you hadn’t seen a dachshund-before.” “Oh, I’ve seen the animal many a time. It was the environmenttthat made him interesting. He was the only creature I met there who looked as if he hadn’t been having his leg pulled.” Some years ago it was discovered that dead walls and roofs in this city had a value that the tax assessors didn’t take into consideration, and the discovery developed a set of men who made it their business to secure op- tions on all desirable spots and hold them for a rise in the market. The dead walls and roofs were in demand for lithographic advertisements rang- ing from Dr. Cureall’s pills to the lat- cst melodrama. There are scores of brokers now who deal exclusively in dead walls and advertising spaces, and some of them have grown wealthy in the business. They keep a sharp look- out for all improvements in Old build- ings or plans of a new building that give promise of a dead walL or of a temporary wooden fence on whim. lithographs maybe displayed. The bill poster buys the advertising rights on these places, and then he rents them out again at from 200 to 500 per cent. profit to the theatrical agents or pat- ent medicine men, as the case may be. For instance, a manager of a theatre not long ago paid a bill poster $125 a month for the right to advertise on a board fence around a big building that was being constructed in the Tender- loin district. A bill poster who has grown oldin the business said not long ago that there wasn’t an available dead wall in New York that wasn’t controlled by bill posters. Some of these energetic adVertisers send agents all over thc'city at intervals to deco- rate every ash barrel with little (lodg- .ers that are known as “snipes.” When dead wall advertising was less com- mon than it is now, the theatrical man- agers valued it more highly. Their lithographs could be read ataglancc. and they were not surrounded by lithographs of rival managers. ,The displays on the bill boardsand dead walls are now so numerous that they are confusing, and .the managers and the bill posters have very nearly come to an open rupture.
