Colonel William Evans, the of- ill charge of the New England Villee has given most careful at- on to the subject and the result his thought Is a building to be known as "The People' a Palace. " The proposed building will be five price and basement, constructed of tilt and atone. with a very ornate for It will be centrally located in the ally of Boston where the tide of humaniti ebbs and flows during the ill Fill“ ours. Several pieces of pro guy are new under consideration by 010ml Evans. In the basement there will be a read- - ing- -room. library, a room for games,a ' coffee saloon, conversational room. baths. toilets, etc. The floor covering the resdln room library, and game room, Will be arranged that it can be rm to II” In the summer time and thus afford a swimming tank 22 x 76 feet in dimensions. in the subbasement will be the boilers and other mechan- ling appliances for the building go: first floor vrill he a hall seat~ Ill! 1 peoble. and on one side of the , ‘entr ce wil be a store for cheap goes and on the other a free labor bureau. 0n the second floor will be the executive emcee of the New Eat and Province, also a free dispensary till; a department for the relief of the The three upper floors will be devoted to hotel purposes and arrang- ed largely on the “Mills Hotel" plan The rooms will be rented for the trifl- lug sum 0:25 cents per night or $1. 60 per Week. An enterprise of these proportions means money and in no small sums at that, and with the Salvation Army be- hind the enterprise it means that 0119:! must come. through the offer- ings of the generous and charitably mandated people of the community. Nor does this fact make the undertak- ln’g any less the feasible. In England there has but recently been put in op- elation an enterprise of a very similar character which cost $475, 000. Nor is munillcence along the lines of charity confined to that country. Recently Mr. J. D. Rockefeller has given the Salva- tl n, Army ‘12. 500 towards Its build- e-‘t . check for $1, , formic building fund Cleveland Now If London can give 475,000 and Rockefeller and Mrs. Hanna think _ ough of the Army to write oh lie for a thousand dollars at a time surely the generous citizens of lilo n and community are not one It; a worthy enterprise.

Great secrecy surrounds the robbery. which appears to have been com itted about June 21, prominent New Yorker, whose name Is withheld.

August 8.—-—licn- jamin H. Richards, chief of the New- port pollce, informed the correspond- ent of The Associated Press today that his first and only intimation con- earning a $200,000 jewelry robbery at Newport had come today. when the newspaper men brought information obtained from New York. Chief Richards said that the ollly time he had been caled into consulta- time he had been called into consulta- ing lost jewels, was in June, upon the arrival here of Mrs. J. Stewart Bar- ney. of New York, who last spring, lost several thousand dollars’ worth of jewels, her New York residence having been robbed while she was at‘ tending a dinner party, The robbery occurred not long before Mrs. Barney left for Newport and the chief was called in here to advise concerning the best methods of tracing the rely bars. The chief admitted that the case might have been given to the New York police. or to private delet- tive agellcles without notice to the local officers, but said such a step would be very unusual. BOSTON, August 8.-—Chlef Watts, of the Boston police, said today that he had received no notice of an exten- sive jewelry robbery at Newport, R. l. The chief also said that his men had any notification or list of missing jew elry by local pawnbrokora The law to the police as soon as received. ETHICS OF A BROKEN SEAT. Good Thing for the Box Office. But Un- appreciatcd by Patrons of Theatre. “But I can't move to that seat." “You most." “‘But it‘s broken." “That makes no difference, you must. You're In this gentleman's seat." This interchange was carried on at a vaudeville theatre between an usher and a woman who had bought a ticket to see the show, according to the New York Sun. The scat the woman's check drew was badly broken. “Take my check. then. and get me another seat." she demanded. The usher became irritated and said that he could not do it. The woman left the theatre indignant, Soon afterward a man was ushered down the aisle and shown into the seat the woman had refused to occupy. it was not long before he got up. impa- hiimuy conflding to the man beside "l in going My back is nearly brok- en. This seat’ s all busted. " The ethics of selling a ticket for a broken seat rose In the minds of those who sat near. As far as the manage~ ment was concerned the broken seat had one better for the box office than the good seats, for within a short time it had sold two tickets, while the good seats had sold only one.
