NEW YORK ' LETTE l.
New York has passed through an
unusually dull summer. But for Lhe
activity in Wall street and the die—
cussion over the Mayoralty the t':=.v.1
would have been as dead a place as
there was in the country. 1‘: ofhing
showed this more than the stagnztion
which existed in the field of 3.111.113
ments. Not in a long time 112.: ';
been a summer in which so few the .-
tres have been open. 'Only one leading
louse has kept an attraction running
all the time. The roof gardens have,
indeed, been in operation, but the reg—
ilar theatres closed early and have
lius far remained closed. This is all
the more remarkable because the sea—
son has not been excessively hot, and
the July rains kept thousands at home,
who would otherwise have gone to the
mountains and the seashore. But the
better feeling which has been created
by the revival of trade and speculation
and the influx of buyers and other vis-
itors of the city are evidently encour-
aging the managers, who shut down
early in the summer to make an early
start for the fall.
Richard Croker Embraces the \Vorld.
If anything gave color of probability
to the idea that Richard Croker de-
sired to be the Democratic candidate
for Mayor it was the fact that he gave
a long and apparently fully author-
ized intgrview to the World, with
which he has long had such bitter per-
sonal enmity that he would never re-
ceive any of its representatives. If,
- then, he really desired to be Mayor,
he was doing what a man in such a po-
sition would naturally do, clear the
way of personal enmities. The most
interesting observation made by Rich?
ard Croker in the World interview was
the reference to Seth Low. “1 do not
know Mr. Low personally,” said Mr.
Croker, “but I have learned and heard
much about him, and I believe him
to be a fine man.” To this Mayor
Strong said laughingly: “If Mr. Croker
intimates that Mr. Low would not be
such a bad Mayor, and that there is a
remote possibility of Tammany indors-
ing him, that would make us all happy.
Mr. Low, indorsed by Tammany Hall,
would be about the .right thing.”
It is remarkable how universal wasl
the testimony of Mr. Low‘s ability and
character. Even those who oppose
him spoke highly of him.
A Milli Trust Announced.
New York’s daily milk bill calls for
728,612 quarts, 16,000 quarts of cream
and 8,600 quarts of condensed milk.
There are 7,000 depots in the city
where milk is‘sold. The number of
cows in the city limits giving milk is
3,200, and outside 112,370. According
to advance sheets of the current an-
nual report of the Board of Health
there has been a great improvement
in the quality of milk over preceding
years. The inspection of the supply
is rigid and the penalty for adultera-
tlon sure and severe. The system of
' permits to all vembrs of milk, which
went into effect with the year 1896,
has been found to work admirably.
The inspection of the local milk sup-
ply through this means is now be-
lieved to be perfect, .both in theory
and practice. In 1895 the cases of
adulteration discovered were 393.
Last year the tests showed only 233.
The number of arrests in 1895 for sell-
ing adulterated milk were 408; in 1896
there were 220.
This staple is the latest incentive to
an industrial combination, and, after
months of negotiation, 3. Milk Trust
has been formed. The promoter is
John D. Gilmor, who planned the
Cracker Trust. He is an old and rich
biscuit manufacturer. The capital of
the Trust, Mr. Gilmor says, will ex-
ceed $1,000,000. Each milk dealer
within the radius of fifteen miles of
the City Hall has been offered a price
for his business. No effort will be
made to take away customers from
dealers, but a more direct and simple
plan will be adopted. The milk de—'
pets will be established immediately
adjoining or near their stores if they
do not come into the Trust. The
dealers have been offered 50 per cent.
cash and 50 per cent. stock for their
.business.
Eiigl’sh Capital and the Steinways.
The house of Steinway & Sons was
founded in this city in 1853, by Henry
Steinway, who came from Seesen, near
Brunswick, Germany. He was a skilled
piano maker, and started the business
in Varick steel, with his three song
as partners—Charles, William, and
Henry, Jr. The firm prospered from
the beginning, and in 1859 the con
struction of the big factory in Park
avenue at Fifty-third street was begun.
In that same year, Charles and Hen
ry Steinway, Jr., died, and their broth
er Theodore, came on from Germany
and entered the firm. Steinway Hall
in Fourteenth street was built in 1866
and in 1872, the town of Steinway,
north of Astoria, was founded, ith it:
hOuses for working people and its pub-
lic school. The great factories were
built there in 1877.
The prospectus states that the new
company has been incorporated under
the British law as Steinway & Sons
limited, with a capital stock of $1,250,
000, divided into 75,000 5 per cent. cum
ulative preference shares of $10 each
and 100,000 ordinary‘shares of $5 each
The present issue of shares. however
Is for only 70,000 of the preference
and 92,120 ordinary shares. It is ex
plained that the reason the company
cannot acquire all the stock, there be-
ing a little less than one-tenth of it not
offered for sale, is that this latter be-
longs to “a person not attracted by
the price accepted by the other ven-
ders.” This is presumed to be Henry
W. Steinway, a cousin of Charles H.
Steinway, head of the old house. He
is the owner of $140,000 worth of stock,
and has persistently been a stumbling
block to past efforts at reorganization

POISON ED av SWALLOWING SPIDERS
A Minister Dir-(l troni the Effects of One
Cmiizc-iilcd in His Food.
Some remarkable cases of internal
poisoning from the bites of spiders, ac-
cidentally swallowed, have been re-
ported recently in Kentucky. A Meth—
odist minister, the Rev Silas Spurrier,
swallowed a small spider which had
been concealed in an apple dumpling.
The inflammation from the bites of
the concealed enemy rapidly increased
and the patient died before relief could
be given. The case has attracted es—
pecial attention from the rumor that a'
woman had'purposely placed the spider
In the dumpling. \Vhen investigations
were made it was found that the per-
son suspected had left the country. A
woman in Frankfort named Mrs. Par-
die also swallowed a black water spider
by accident recently. The poison from
the bites spread itself through her sys-
tem untjil her head and face were badly
swollen. She finally recovered—New
York Tribune.

The President’s Flag.
It has been the custom for many
years to denote the President’s pres-
ence in the city by flying from the
White House the American flag. When
the President was out of the city the
flag was taken down. The President’s
own flag is never used except when he
goes on board a naval vessel. The
President’s flag is about the size of the
regulation ensign. The body of the
flag is blue. In the centre is an eagle,
exactly like that on a half dollar. The
eagle is embroidered in white. The
arrows and olive branch are worked
in similar material, and the stars are
arranged above the bird. The shield
on the breast of the eagle is worked
in red, thus giving the national colors
—red, white, and blue—and forming
a isfiiiiui flag—St Louis GlobeJour-
11:1.
The “'as Excuseil.
“You wish to be relieved from jury
duty," said a Jitdge quoted by “The
Green Bag," “but you haven’t given a
good reason”- “It is to save money
for the people," replied the unwilling
talesman. “I have dyspepsia, Judge,
and I never agree with anybody. If I
go on this jury there will be a dis-
agreement, and the county will have
to go to the expense of a new trial."
“Excused,” said the Judge.
To Avoid the Question.
“Why do you always go fishing at
night?” ,
“Well, you know, in daytime, a man
carrying a rod always meets about a
hundred persons who ask him if he is
going fishing.”—Chicago Record.
Always Preach What You Practice.
“You must get rid of the Oirish ac-
:ent, Mike, if you want to git on. Yet,
shure, I was tin years in London be-
fore I could git over it meself.”—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
