Ttoe Hotel Victoria, New York, is to be torn dowu and a twenty story busi ness building erected ou Its Mite. Lady A 1 me tie Hugh t'aget aud John 8. Mel eber sold the property for $S.000,00O. The Victoria Is the last survivor of famous group of hotels about which the night life of the town used to cen ter thirty years ago, a link between the old lower Broadway hotels of the last generation and the modern steel structures of today farther uptown. It was opened In 1875). For many years a large portrait of Queen Victoria was hung in its lobby, and it straightway became a favorite place for English visitors to stop. Ac tor folk also showed a fondness for it, Sir Henry Irving making bis bead quarters there while playing here. The statesmen seemed Inclined to cling to the Fiftb Avenue, at least those of the Republican persuasion, but an attempt was made to make it a Democratic hangout President Cleveland helped some.

Coincident with the closing of the term of the supreme court of the Unit ed States and the departure of the Jus tices for their summer vacations has been the planning of an Immense amount of work for the court when It meets again next October. Thirty-five cases, some of them of farreachlng Importance, have been ad vanced for hearing on the first day of the next term "or as soon thereafter as practicable." The quoted phrase Is estimated to mean a month, for It Is said that It will take at least that time to hear the arguments in all these cases. ' Among the cases advanced are those Involving the validity of the Indict ment of Charles F. Munday and others growing out of the so called Stracey coal lands clulms In Alaska and of the Indictment of James A. Patten and others on charges of violating the Sher man anti-trust law In "cornering" the cotton market. The review of the trial of Frederick A. Hyde and others on charges of land frauds on Uie Pacific coast will be another prominent case. In addition to these the court will have under advisement during the summer about a dozen cases which were argued In the term Just closed, but not decided. Probably the most important of these is that involving the constitutionality of the federal employers' liability act of 1008. According to a summary by Deputy Clerk Mnher of the work done by the court during the term Just ended, 5(J9 cases were filed and 454 were disposed of. These Included 100 opinions. Dur ing the preceding term 503 cases were filed and only 305 cases were disposed of, including 170 opinions. A RISE IN MUTTON. Only the Leg Went Up, and Then There Came a Drop. In the "pood old days" at the Hay market theater there was being played a musical fnrce In which was required a real boiled leg of mutton every night This, according to the law of "property," or. rather, the "property man's" law, went after the perform ance almost untouched to the ofilclal named. But the "flymen" perched up aloft did not like this, for they, too, had wives and families, to whom a boiled leg of mutton would have been a thing to be remembered. So they hit upon a plan, and one night William Farren, who bad the earring of the Joint was asked to fix a book that would be let down from the flies Into the mutton and "leave ' the rest to them.". Farren. always ready for a practical Joke, consented and as the scene was coming to a ter mination fastened the book Into the leg of mutton. As scene shifters were preparing to "cloHe in" and the prop erty nuin atnnrf In tha win n- ranIff fA ' seize on bis perquisite the leg of mat- ton was seen slowly to ascend. The audience laughed. Henry Comp ton. who wua watching the maneuver, laughed, too, and the employees all gave vent to their feelings In ill sup pressed m-rrlmeut all except the property man, who remained miser ably serious and gnzed at the fast de parting supper with a woebegone couutenauce. Huddenly as the scene was almost closed In the book, which Farren bad unfortunately fastened only In the fat. gave way, and down came the coveted mutton with a ter rific splash upon the dish. The audience now roared, the em ployees roared, both Farren and Compton roared, aud as the "data" hid the unrehearsed tableau from view tbe now delighted property man rushed upon the Stage and secured bis 111 treated supper.

It has been said that you never know a man till you travel with him, and certainly traveling has n tendency to bring out all the depravity Innate la human nature. Out of this test, how ever, Henjainln Disraeli emerged with, flying colors. This Is what was said of hint by Mrs. Austen, who with her husband traveled with him when he was (julto a young man, as related In Mr. Monypenny's biography: "Your brother," bIio says (tho letter was addressed to Disraeli's sister), "la. so easily pleased, so accommodating, so amusing and so actively kind that I shall always reflect upon the domes tic part of our Journey with the treaty est pleasure. Your brother has be haved excellently, except when there Is a button, or, rather, buttons, to be put on his shirt; then he is violently bad, and this happens almotit dally." Otty Ann Pitt. Rollngbrnke called England's great statesman, William Tilt (Lord Chat ham), "Sublimity IMtt," and he dubbed his sister Ann "Divinity Tltt." BuB that must hare been long after there were written nnd received the delight' ful letters addressed to I'ltt's "Dearest Nanny," his "little Nan," his "little Jug." "Oh, for the restless tongue of dear llttlo Jug!" ho exclaims In a letter writ ten by blm from Northampton when, a lad of twenty-three, he had but lately Joined his rcKlruent. Ann I'ltt's restless tongue was nevee stilled, for when Chesterfield, culling on her In his later life, complained of. decay with tbe words, "I fear that I am growing an old woman," Ann brisk ly replied: "I am glad of It. I was nfrald you were growing an old man, which, at you know, Is a much worse thing." Representative Lee O'Ncli Itrowne of Ottawa assaulted E. O. I'lilIllpH, the legislative correspondent of the Chi cnRo Tribune, In the speaker's room at Springfield. Mr. Phillips was uncou. sctous for forty minutes.
