The company' has paid ordinary taxes, .13 annual license fee of $10 a car, and ias paved 22 feet of the roadway traversed by its lines. People, however, saw -dividends paid on heavily watered stock; they knew that several -other cities were getting better terms, and they demanded the best. Mayor Tom L. Johnson, serving his third term, was elected largely on the 3-eent fare issue. He worked hard to bring the old company to terras, but without success.

The pole might as well turn state evidence against itself, for it is bound to be found out. In a few years it will be only an American, flagpole.

Old glory will wave above it. It is a poor age for mysteries, even polar ones, for science is certain to uncover them. It is first time 'the balloon trick has been tried on the pole, but the one previous attempt was made many years ago, before the modern.im- provements in. airships. Andree was the one who conducted that experiment and for all anyone knows to the contrary he reached bis intended destination, only he never came back to tell about it.

He may have become attached to the place, as it were, so that lie could not tear himself loose from the scenery. It is a ratner grewsome subject, but there is no need of growing gloomy over something that cannot be helped. Scenery Preserved on Ice. The arctic scenery is said to be indescribably grancl by the few who have looked upon it and have lived to tell the tale. It is a revel of color, of picturesque effect and of dazzling lights.

It is scenery preserved ou ice- There have been many conflicting stories of Anclree's end. There always are wben nobody knows. One version had it tltat he was killed by Eskimo savages.

New York, Jnly 21. In his back yard J. Pierpont Morgan has just completed the erectinn of probably the finest private art gallery in the country at a cost of one of his many millions. The handsome white marble structure has been in the hands of the builders for three years, and the superstructure has just been cleared away, revealing its magnificent front to public view, The gallery is situated about .20 feet in the rea.r of Morgan's mansion, which faces Madison avenne. Morgan house and this new gallery are assessed at $1,000.000, though the trust maker paid nearly' that sum for the land alone.

The market value- of the propertv is estimated- at $3,500,000. The design for the gallery was made by the financier himself, the architects working from pencil sketches which Mr. Morgan had made in his leisure moments. It is said that Morgan has spent a total of $20,000,000 for works of art in the past'fifteen years. CHARGED WITH BEING A SOCIAL VULTURE Spccisl Correspondence.
