A 4 PEACH OF A PIPE THOUGH All Haggln, th PalnUr'ln th Case, Says 80 and Ha Regrets to 8poil It. Legend haa already be run to twin about th full length portrait of Mary Oerden aa Thais, which waa oa x-fcibltlun la the Fifth vena window of gnoedler's art gallery at Thirty-fourth street until a few daya ago. According to the romantic Barrator who gave to tha newspapers last night tha real facta about tha Mary Garden portrait" tha Identity ot Ita painter waa only discovered through the aff orta ot James B. Haas In to become ita owner, all unknowing that bo waa trying to buy the work of bla grandson.

Jama Baa Bafgln, whom bo had long atnoo 41-owned aa foolish boy who oouldn't paint and wouldn't giro up trying. Kaoedlei'g possession of the portrait, aa Ua atory ran, waa due to tha loyalty ot MUa Garden to tha unknown who bad painted her. Mr. Ksoodler bad triad to indue bar to alt for bar portrait to a painter ot National reputation. Bha refused, aaylng that aha bad already been painted by a young man of great talent, it unrecognised, and tha art dealer must accept his portrait for exhibition or none.

Thus the cany as came into the window ot the Fifth Avenue gallery. Whan Knoedler got the' canvaa ba waa not permitted to know the artlat There- fore, when one afternoon Jama J. B. Haggln baited hla carriage In front of the gallery and rushed in to buy Mr. Knoedler waa unable to give him any encourage-; ment Mr.

Haggln left, naming 10,000 aa what be waa willing to pay. The unknown artist would not sell, and In Jumpa of $5,000 kfr. Haggln puta the prlo up to ti.OuO. When this offer was cent to the artist through Miss Garden as Intermediary the artist thought toe time had come to reveal himself to the gtaudfather who had cast him aalde for hla foolish devotion to art. Here the atory got in ita finest touches.

The two men jnet in the gallery, and there waa a touching reconciliation before the canvas. The struggling artlat received a check for with the him that there waa more in grandfather's strong box, and thua he ia able thereby to turn aside forever from bread and cheese and the frO-cent table d'hote. In his etudlo at 27 Weat Sixty-seventh fltreft last night, Ben All Haggln listened with appreciative astonishment to the romance of the Mary Oarden portrait. Surrounded by canvasses which have had the highest praise at many exhibitions he admitted that he was not a poor, un-luiowu. and starving artlat.

Hie name was preity small and hard to find on the Garden portrait, Mr. Hag- fln said, but ha thought most people had nown that bdalnted it. As for his grandfather buyllx Uie portrait he hadn't heard of It. Mr. Haggln, had always admired it, however, the artlat said, from toe (irat time ne aaw it in hla atudlo.

"That'a a peach of a ptpa, though," eeld Mr. Haggln. I bate to spoil RODMAN BACHELOR DINNER. Mlis Marvin's Fiance Entertains Friends at University Club.

CANT GIVE AWAY A DRINK The Chain Gang for Yours If You Do AH Alcoholic Concoction. Sent In from Other 8tatea. Prohibition has gripped Georgia so tight, ays James W.

Cole ot Chattanooga, that it now difficult to buy commercial liquid tooth washes, because moat of them contain a aroall percentage of alcohol. And bald-beaded men who have private bottles at their barbers' are in despair, because almost all hair tonic have In them some percentage of alcohol. Mr. Cole la the general manager for the M. Rose Company, distillers, formerly of Georgia, but now of Chattanooga, and Jacksonville.

one ot the oldest companies In the South. At th Hotel Astor, yesterday afternoon, ha made some startling; statements about Georgia' prohibition. "Our company baa established a purchasing agency at Chattanooga tor th benefit of it old customers in Georgia," be aald, which agency la kept busy buying and forwarding to these customers tooth washes, hair restorers, and twenty other toilet preparations that have In them a small percentage of alcohol. If a man's wife ia 111 In Georgia, and he wanta a bottle ot Malt Nu trine, for in- stance, to brace her up he has a hard ttma reTi It THa aoHm a time getting It. The easiest way is to get a diaUUer.

catalogue and order by inclosing, according to the law, the price of the goods as well as tb expresaage. But that method is not very expeditious. Tooth powders have routed tooth waahea In Georgia, and the only hop now for bald heads are vibrators and massage machines. Just. before the new prohibition law went into effect there were bargain aalea ot liquid toilet articles all over Georgia that flooded the female heart with aunshlne.

There waa one of lna sTanaesi staugmermg or red. white. Pmk- nd concoctions for the face. nsnas, nair, ana teetn mat ever came off below the Mason and Dixon line. And the women knew that this bargain sale waa real.

But now they have to aend out of the State for their supplies. "Georgia Is tight all right, and whoever think It isn't be doesn't know what haa happened there since Jan. Men convicted of running blind tigers have to aerve in the State and city chain ganga They can escape, no matter bow much they ar willing to pay.

'Old Heck Campbell' may order, bis four quart from Chattanooga or some other place, pay for it before he geta It, and take full possession of It at the office of the Southern Express Company, but he mustn't give a drink out of all those four quarts to Si who has ridden into town with him. Of course, lf Si reaches back to the box, all unbeknownst to Heck, and purloins a quart and takes a drink, why, then, of course, the law can't touch Heck. But woe to Heck lf he should hand the auart over to 81, saying, See what you link of this. o'cVbXr in 19UU. when the prohibition law, already passed, goes into eiiect.

MoDile, as you know, and two or three surrounding counties, has asked its Senator to introduce a bill to withdraw them from Alabama and make a separate State of them, or put them under the jurisdiction of a State whose laws allow them to use a liquid tooth wash lf they wish. Tennessee is dry. also, with the exception of Chattanooga and three other cities, and the State law does not allow the shipping of liquor from any of these four cities to any part ot the State. But of course it can prevent the ahlpplng in of liquor from another State. So it is that our Tennessee orders, outside of the four wet cities, are filled from our branch at Jacksonville, although we have a big office at Chattanooga.

a Chattanooga is doing such a rushing mail order business into Georgia that the Post Office there had to petition Washington for additional clerks to attend to the mall orders, and arrangements had to be made to get enough money in the city to pay the Post Office orders sent in from Georgia The mail order business of one company averages from $5,000 to daily out of Georgia alone. The Southern Express Company has established a branch office on the main street in Atlanta for the sole purpose ot handling the whisky shipments, and it's a sight to see the consignee calling for their package. None of them are less than a quart, and most of them are four quarts, for the distillers prepay the express when the order is for a gallon. No package can be shipped C. O.

li. Of course, the clubs in the cities of Georgia still have their supplies of things to drink. Just after the general liquor bill now In force was passed another bill was offered, imposing a 910,000 tax on all clubs that maintained lockers where the members kept on tap their drinking supplies. The same men who voted for the general bill voted down this last bill. The hotels, however, come under the law, and sine it la against the law give away a drink it would not do the hotels any good to buy beer and whisky for their smesta So hotel guests in Georgia must drink milk and water, rub their teeth with powder, and shampoo their heads with fresh eggs.

Now, of course, any reader aee Just what Herr Hana Aufgeachnltt la The Barnum dc Bailey Circus, which bought the elghteen-montha-old porker to complete a freak quartet, took the matter up with Washington. They were told that the laws are now such that German pork-' era are not admitted Into the United States. Thus it Is that the German sieger and humorist will have to go back to his native Hamburg.

The Barnum A Bailey people, fearing from the first that their' efforta in behalf of Herr Hans Aufgeachnltt would be of no avail, cast about for an American hog to take his place with the human members in the quartet. They have found a Cincinnati-bred porker In Hoboken whose pure soprano coloratura fitted snugly Into the rest.

Mr. Hammersteln had a long talk yesterday with Fred Ruhlmann. head of one of the biggest of the ticket agenclea After the talk he announced his new policy. I made two demands on the ticket agencies." said Mr.

Hamersteln. First, that they subscribe for as many tickets from this house as from the Metropolitan Opera House, and, second, that tbey give me leave to turn away people who have bought seats which the agencies have given to speculators to selL I believe that the agencies have tried to sell Metropolitan seats more than Manhattan, and I have a suspicion that they have disposed of some of my seats to speculators. I want all that to stop. Also, tickets sold In hotels are likely to bring undesirable persons to the opera I should like to be able to watch my own subscription list, and hereafter I will.

Mr. Oland aald last night that only the chance coming together of a number of people suited to the play had made feasible the production of ''Love's Comedy," which he had long wished to have staged. "As Miss Englund had said that she had played the part ot Miss an eccentric spinster which is now to be done by Mra Pruyn with a traveling company la Sweden, not in Stockholm, she waa aaked to come Into th company. 8 he urged to be given a chance to play the part ot Svanhild, the beautiful and intellectual young woman of th piece.
