At first the operator was satisfied with reading as he ran. Having a capacious memory, he thus stored up precious stores of knowledge, until the time came when he knew more about the af-fnlrs of the habitues of that home of wealth and extreme fashion than they did themselves, Chance led him.

Col.

As far as could be l-arn-l yesterday, the District Attorney ha no desire at present to hear from Col. Mum), although the Grand Jury will begin early this week to Investigate the methods by whlrh the subscriptions for Fads and were secured.

It was said yesterday that this Investigation will Include an inquiry aa to the truth of a report as to the way in which one of Wall Street's best known men fame to sign his name for $1,500. The report has it that he had the chance of choosing between paying the sura in question or having a fiction story published. In which lip figured as ono of the two principal characters. The story is said to have been the first venture Into fiction of a young author who since then has acquired considerable literary reputation as a writer of Wall Street stories. In using a widely known episode from the siiiihIm of high finance the author had no Idea of what a dangerous weapon he had forged.

He offered his story to a certain ma gating that makes a specialty of cleverness, snd It waa eagerly accepted. Hut to this day the story remains unprlnted. although puld for long ago. This pusslcd the author until he leu mod some time ago from the secretary of the Wall Street financier that the Intter had had the chance of choosing between subscribing to a work he did not care for or seeing the story published. The story, which Pictured a fight to death for the possession of a woman between two men who used millions for weapons, contained nothing that could reflect on the honor of the only one of the rivals that remains alive.

But all the same, the appearance of it in print would have been as unpleasant to that man as It would have been welcome to the scandal mongers. Among the subpoenas that are expected to Imj issued In this case aa soon as District Attorney Jerome returns from Lake-vllle will probably be one for every man who ever took subscriptions for l' Fads and Fancies." It was said when the disclosures regarding that work first began that all the subscriptions had been taken by Moses Kills Woonter. It has since been learned that several men assisted in that work. Among them was an Englishman who is said to be the nephew Hnd heir of a lord and who left his native country at the earnest solicitation of his friends. AFTER DEAL LAKE SPOONERS.

In a general way," he said. I am opposed to the system of pensions I found In vogue In the Equitable when I took hold.

I believe that I can do good to my people, ana ao so want to nem the women and girls about me. They will not want an advocate when I entei on my work.

CASTRO'S RULE MENACED BY ANGRY VENEZUELANS Likely to Cause, International Trouble, Traveler Says. HOW HE POCKETS REVENUES Multitude of Political Prisoner Gives Rise to a 8trong" Opposition The Constitution Upeet.

A well-known Spanish commercial traveler, who does an extensive business with Venesuela, and whose name, for that reason, cannot In fairness be mentioned, arrived In this city yesterday and made tfie announcement that the power of President CJpriano Castro was being threaten d. He cannot last much longer," said the Informant of Th Times. His rule Is worse than hat of the Ctar of Russia. The people; of Venesuela are sufferl': more tyranny than ever the peasant of Ruasia did. "Castro la doing exactly as he pleases.

ana if be is not careful he may drag several natlona Into war. He Is headstrong, and thinks that all other nations should bow to him. He is a menace to the United States. Recently the man has actually turned the revenues of the country Into his own pockets. Of course he has always done this more or less, but since his re-election he has acted as If he had decided that he "waa entitled to all the country had In It.

The salt mines In Venesuela belong to the Gevernment. That being so. Castro, without the slightest compunction, has let them out to a friend who pays the country a pepper-corn rent and makes thousands, most of which he turns over to the President. Three-quarters of the tobacco revenue seem also to be going Into Castro's pocket. I understand that a short time ago he gave another friend of his acon-tract to collect the tobacco revenues.

The Government received $500,000 for the contract. That Is all the country gets out of Its own tobacco taxation. The total revenue from tobacco Is about $2,000,000. The other $1,500,000 a year goes to Castro by way of the contractor." The traveler was asked about the recent election, which created some surprise In this country. It was understood here that a Venesuelan President was not eligible for a second Not long ago came the announcement by cable that Castro had been unanimously re-elected for a term far In excess of the usual Presidential term.

Inquiry elicited the Information that Clprlano Castro, when he drove his predecessor, Andrade, from the palace at Caracas, had twisted around the constitution Of the country to suit himself. Now, it appears, a Venesuelan President may run for aa many terms as he pleases. "The situation," said the traveler. seems to be that Castro must die either In bed or out ot It. or somebody must knock him off the throne of power.

Briefly, the situation spells revolution. The recent election was one of those farces for which the republic is notorious. Castro got together a lot of his own friends and elected himself." He Incidentally added to his titles that of Restorer of In view of the astounding benefits which he poured upon the people when In rags he came from the Andes to rule them. I am led to understand around Caracas that Castro's administration has been responsible for the Imprisonment of 1.500 good men, and the exiling of 200 more. Such a large number of men must have a very much larger circle ot acquaintances." REV.

J. HEN NER. Celebrated French Artist Was Born In Alaace In 1829. PARIS, July 23. Jean Jacques Henner, the distinguished painter, who had been seriously 111 for some time, died here this morning.

He waa born In Alsace In 1S20, and waa educated at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He waa a member of the Institute of France and a Grand Officer ot the Le gion of Honor, Some English bloaranher once wrote In a year-book of celebrated living men that j. j. ttenner was noted for his Rembrandt-like effects." This statement, which, aa Edgar Saltus would say, contains all the elements ot libel, has been repeated in other books of reference, until there is now a general impression that Henner was an imitator of the great master of chiaroscuro. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rembrandt obtained his effects by the Juxtaposition of Btrong light and deep shade; Henner by the most delicately graduated tones ln which suavity of line Is everywhere sug- rested and outline Is practically non-ex-stent. It Is this elusive quality, combined with a mastery of color which can only be compared with that possessed among the moderns by Mont Ice UI, which is the chief charm of his works. Copyists and forgers have succeeded fairly well In imitating some of Henner's mannerisms, but none has been able to duplicate his richness ot coloring or his delicacy of Una. M. Henner was born In Alsnce on March 5, isai.

He early showed talent and became a pupil of Drolling and Plcot. At the end of his first two years In the Ecole des Beaux-Arts he was compelled by ill-health to return to his home In Bern-wlller. He was readmitted eight years later, and gained a prise for his Adam and Eve Finding the Body of Abel." After this success M. Henner went to Rome, where ne studied under Hipp, and painted four pictures for the Muse de Colmar. one of which, "The Young Bather Asleep," was exhibited at the Salon of 18U3, together with a fine portrait of Victor Sennets.

The Chaste Susanne." painted in 1805, was purchased by the French Government, and is now in the Luxembourg. The Alsaclan," painted ln 1870, one of his best-known pictures, was presented to M. Gambetta by a committee of Alsaclan ladles. His later works Included Magdalene In the Desert and The Good Samaritan." "The Dead Christ." 187; "St, Jerome." 1881; He rod las." 188J; St, Sebastian." 18S8; Portrait of Carolus Buran" 1S90; Portrait of Mile. 1807.

and The Dream," UMX). M. Henner obtained many medals at the Salon. He was elected a member of the Acadmle des Beaux-Arts in succession to Cabanel In ISM. DEATH LIST OF A DAY.

A Story of Great Human Interest. 4 Do you know that there is printed every day on ths back pae of THE NEW YORK TIMES a story of fjeat human interest? This story is found in the little advertisements received direct from THE TIMES'S readers, and divided into chzpters usually headed Lost and Found, Furnished Rooms, Boarders Wanted, Unfurnished Rooms, Help Wanted, Situations Wanted, Business Opportunities, Country Board, Purchase and Exchange. Each one of these little "ads" if one looks below the surface, and sometimes when one does not tells its own small story of human interest and touches upon nearly every phase of metropolitan life. In them we can read hope, fear, sorrow, joy, despair, the desire for gain, ths necessity for economy, the promptings of ambition; in short, they unfold before us the heartbeats of a great city and bring us in closer touch with one another. It may be a little advertisement of a room to rent to help out the meagre income of a woman who has known better days and has been bereft of her natural protector.

Or perhaps some canine pet of a wealthy household has been lost and. a reward is offered for its return. Or it -may be that a seamstress, or cook, or janitor is seeking a position. Or, more likely, some worried housewife wants, and wants badly, enough domestic "help" to make, life worth living. And so on, and soon.

A Charles Dickens could eavly find abundance of or many interesting tales on THE TIMES'S classified advertising on the last page everyday.
