NKW YORK, Sept. 27. Popularity rests on astonishing foundations in these bizarre days when all roads of crime, misfortune and adventure seem to lead to the vaudeville stage or the lecture platform, which are first cousins. The other night they had a lecture in the Episcopal church at South Norwalk, and policemen guarded all the entrances, though the affair was under the auspices of clergymen. The reason? "Bald Jack" Rose, the New York gambler, chief "squealer" of the Herman Rosenthal murder case, was the lecturer and he professed to be afraid that some of the New York gunmen would try to "get him" as he occupied the church pulpit. "What makes up the Underworld" was the shiny pated crook's topic, and the lecture was listened to by 600 of the churchmen, their wives, daughters and sons. The lecture was to raise money to pay off the church debt, and "Bald Jack" Rose donated his services. Gambler Herman Rosenthal was assassinated in Forty-third street in the glare of Broadway in June of 1912, and the killing started a police graft scandal that is still festering. On the testimony of Rose that he hired tho four gunmen who shot Rosenthal and escaped in a touring car, that lie transmitted to them the plans for the murder and that he paid them for the butchery, Police Lieut. Charles P.ecker and the four gangsters, "Lefty Louis," "Gyp the Blood," "Whitey Lewis," and "Dago Frank," are now on the Hie. side of "the little green vorr" in the Sing Sing death house, awaiting electrocution. Rose went sept free and has been a hero ever since. He has lectured in New York and surrounding towns. A serial story by him, telling of his sordid life as a gambler and thug of the underworld tctok up two whole pages every Sunday for weeks, in one of the New York newspapers. It was Jack Rose's own refusal and not the fault of the sensational managers that the "squealer" did not go on the vaudevilel stage. Mrs. Thaw Cited. Another scintillating example .of amazing popularity is Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, whose husband's thrilling fight for liberty in Canada and New England has been of intense public interest more than a month. For weeks Mrs. Thaw has been the headliner at Hammerstein's vaudeville roof garden, in a dancing turn, and her popularity is entirely due to Thaw's doings. Even the most lenient critics admit that Mrs. Thaw is only a mediocre dancer, and that her partner Jack Clifford guides her through all the Bteps and that if she were other than the "heroine" of the Stanford White murder, she could not play the "big time" In vaudeville. The public had almost forgotten Mrs. Thaw until her husband made his melodramatic escape from the asylum, but her press agent "was quick to seize the opportunity and the public stood for it. Thinking people could see no pos-

sible legitimate connection between Thaw's doings and those of his estranged wife, Mrs. Thaw's press agent gave out pages of "interviews" and the roof garden "turned 'em away" nightly. Such Is fame. Tilt the Lid. Indications of a tilting of "the lid" lately has delighted Gothamites who trail Broadway. When the late Mayor Gaynor left for Europe the acting mayor immediately granted twentythree all-night dramshop licenses to Coney Island restauranteurs for Madri Gras week. When the late Mayor Gaynor was appealed to for such licenses, he refused them, remarking that those "who could not guzzle enough before 1 a. m. would better not guzzle at all." About the same time at least two of the WThite Light resorts near Longacre Square, which were forced to close for lack of business during Police Inspector Dwyer's rigid enforcement of the 1 a. m. closing law, reopened for business. The managers, when they closed, explained that the early evening patronage was not sufficient to enable them to continue and their reopening gave the impression that the vigilance of the police has been somewhat relaxed. Rumors of several other reopenings of night restaurants have been current in the "upper tenderloin," since Mayor Gaynor's death. Formerly the police were under strict orders to keep people moving on Broadway in the neighborhood of the 40's and so well did they carry out their orders that for a time men were not allowed to stand in front of hotels, and on several occasions "standees" were arrested and fined a dollar in the Men's Night Court, but nowadays men may be seen as thick as flies, standing along the curbs and around hotel and restaurant entrances from Thirtyfifth to Forty-sixth streets. The police have even abandoned their perfunctory "You'll have to keep moving gents." Altogether, the Great Khite Wayfarers see a ray of hope.

TO CROSS ATLANTIC IN NEWJREAK BOAT Parisian Working on BattleShaped Craft For Journey. PARIS, Sept. 27. From Paris to New York in a bottle such is the latest sensation. Under one of the archways of the Pont St. Michel, on the Seine, two men are working in the greatest mystery on the construction of a cylindrical, bottle-like craft which is to take them across the Atlantic. The craft is of wood and tarred cardboard, with strong hoops of iron. It is about 30 feet long and 7 feet across. There is a manhole at each end. The master of this curious craft is turned seventy, and wears a blue suit with no shirt underneath, and no shoes. His long curls have evidenly known no barber's shears for many a long year, for they reach to his shoulders and mingle with his patriarchal beard of snow white. The old man is a Greek, Constantino Pansjotti by name. His father was a business man, and left a comfortable little fortune which the son devotes to alleviating the sufferings of his less favored compatriots. M. Penasjottl's wants are- few. He lives on crusts dried vegetables, and boiled water, with no salt or butter. He spends most of his spare moments in prayer. His only assistant in his work on the Seine is a young workman. "The new craft in the slip," declares Panejotti, "is only a model. Later on I propose to build another measuring 325 feet and drived by three 15 horse power motors which
will develop a speed of 100 miles an hour. "The secret of my invention lies in the action of the propellors, which will enable by bottle to revolve on its
own axis at a dizzy rate. The persons inside will be on a floor fitted woth rollers, which will remain completely i stable. My pupil and I intend to go ; from Paris to Havre, hnd thence to I New York. ; "My boat," he added, "has no keel. ' If by a shock or any other cause a leak is sprung, a stroke of the propellers causes it to turn upside down, and a leak can be repaired without ! the least danger."
A Pond on the Farm. Why not build a good pond on the farm? The government will stock it with fish; it will furnish water for your stock the year round by installing pipes and hydrants to keep the water cool and sanitary, and when winter comes It will furnish a fine place for the amusement of the young folks. Then it will supply the material for the ice crop to store away for summer use. Successful Farming.
