The Vancouver Trades and Labor

supply of cheap fuel along the
lines followed in Seattle, and has ap
pointed a committee to inquire into
the question. In Seattle the unions
have bought a coal mine, and hope
to build a railway line to it. The
saving already amounts to $3 per

A Household Necessity
lld-
ing department found itself stumped
the other day to classify the plans
that were submitted by William K.
Vaniderbilt for a new biulding that
h'e is to have constructed on Klfoy-
second street between Madison and
Park avenues. The building may be
either a garage or a two family
dwelling, or, more likely both. The
buillding, which is to cost $150,000,
w<ill be flanked by a stable on either
side: but ithe facade, nevertheless,
to be in the Italian Renaissance
style. The basement Is to contain
a garage and there will be a billiard
room in the rear on the ground floor.
A central winding Staircase with a
foyer, an electric elevator and a per
gola ithat may be used for a summer
garden, are among the other features
of the building whose upper floors
are arranged for duplex apartments.
The structure lie to be seven stories
high.

Bench. "John Marshall to the bar."
No John Marshall <to that bar, at

the dignity of the court was deeply

askied the judge. "I know," piped

row, "he's the fellow you threw out

I would almost as soon think of
running my farm without imple-
ments as without Hunt's Lightning
Oil. Of all the liniments I have ev-
er used, both for man and beast, it
is the quickest in action and rich-

Now that the use of automobiles
has become common in Ntew York,
there has been discovered a new
form of "graft" for city officials.
The city furnlBhed the different de-
partment heads with autos in order
that they might save time din getting
from place 'to place and thereby ac
complish more work. But Mayor
McClellan has now discovered that
the officials use the machines for
their own private use, an'd it Is not
uncommon to see the wife of one of
the officials going about from shop to
shop in the city-owned auto, with a
city-paid chaffeur at the wheel;
all repairs and the gasoline are paid
for out of the city treasury. The
mayor intemds to stop the private
use of the machines and while K
may be impossible to learn whether
the machine is used for private pur-
poses during official hours. It will be
possible to eliminate thie long Sun-
day tiMps which the officials and their
families have been accustomed to
take In tihe city's ca/s. Mayor Mc-
Clellan has several plans under ad-
visement, such as timie checks and
speedometers for running down the
guilty ones.

The latter club occupies the old

Booth. The old Square is fast be-
coming the denter for fashionable
clubs. The Princeton Club Is to oc-
cupy the home of the late Stamford

On Monday nuxt, Gotham's famous
Eden Musee, which is devoted chiefly
to exhibiting wax figures, will cele-
brate its twent.v-flfth birthday. Al-
though new exhibits have been added
from time to t'im'?, the Idea as origin-
ally planned has needed little change.
Consequently the museum holds a
unique place among New York's ev-
erchanglng amusement p sorts, and I
Is quite as famous as Madame Tus-
sand's museum of wax figures In
London . Since the museum opened
to the present time, 11,000,000 per-
sons have paid for admission. The
largest number on a single day was
11,801, on October 1, 1900, when
the Dewey celebration was on. The
day of the famous bT zzard In March
1888, produced the worst day's busi-
ness, when exactly seventeen people
visited the museum. It has been the
policy of the museum to represent In
wax, people prominent In the public
eye, with the result that one of the
latest groups to be added shows the
principals lu the Thaw trial.
