The late Charles Crist Delmon- CHARLES C. DELMONIOO. «M> was the nephew of Charles Del- monico, who was himself a nephew of Lorenzo and Slro Delmonico, brothers. These two latter succeeded their uncles John and Peter, founders of the house, in 1848. Delmonico's first restaurant was at 21 William street and was es­ tablished In 1827. Since then the plant has been removed to successive up­ town locations, improving in grandeur With every fresh change. The de­ ceased caterer unfortunately inherit­ ed not only his family's great capacity tor serving the public's gustatory wants, but also the affliction of which many of Its members died.

Jamec Callan, an inmate of the Al- toona (Pa.) hospital, is probably the only man living and in apparently good health with a bullet in his braim He attempted suicide August 14 and llred a 38-caliber bujlet into his head; For a time he hovered between life and death, and no attempt was made to probe for the bullet. Then he be­ gan to rapidly recover. His mind be­ came clear and his normal health re- tljrned. •The physicians placed him under an X-ray machine and procured a photo­ graph of the man's skull, showing that the bullet was imbedded in the mid­ dle of the brain. The photograph is reproduced above. Callan, according to a Philadelphia Enquirer special, RADIAGRAPH SHOWING BULLET HOLE IN A LIVING MAN'S SKULL. says the bullet causes him no Incon­ venience. He was discharged as cured last week. Out of Woman's Sphere, Woman's advent in the learned "prch (ecsions is a comparatively modern development in the United States. Sixty years ago no woman in this country, so far as known, had ever been regularly accredited as.an au­ thorized practitioner in law, medicine or theology. Indeed, it seemed then far more likely that women would b« allowed to preach than vote. When. (Antoinette L. Brown imparted to heff classmate, Lucy Stone, at Oberlin, her Intention to become an ordained min­ ister, Lucy, who already aspired to be­ come a voter, exclaimed. "You can never do it!" Yet Antoinette was or­ dained and ministered to an orthodox congregation some fifty years ago, While Lucy, after half a century of heroic effort, died a disfranchised citi- sen. Of the three learned professions, medicine has proved the most general­ ly available for women. There are now many thousand women physicians Of every school practicing medicine successfully in America. . S~chbuab Ends S'trilte.

On just what basis this was a c c o m p l i s h e d h a s not been made pub-, lie. It is certain, v however, that many ot the strikers already believe that the points for which they contended have been conceded, as they are going back to work in large numbers.

William Waldorf Astor, who has just apologized for -his self-expatriation by saying that the bitter criticism of American newspa­ pers drove him from the country, became a natural­ ized British subject in 1899, about one year or so after it became known that he was intending to renounce his al­ legiance to the United States. Mr. Astor was born in New York city on March 31, 1848, the oldest son of John Jacob Astor. He was married in 1878 to Mary Dahlgren Paul, of Philadel­ phia, who, through her mother, was de­ scended from the American naval hero, Dahlgren. Mr. Astor occupied a few public offices under the Ameri­ can government. He served as a mem­ ber of the New York legislature in 187S and in 1881, and he was United States minister to Italy from 1882 to 1885. He had lived much in England, and about ten years ago he started The Pall Mall Magazine and purchased The Pall Mall Gazette. Since then he has lived 'aK most entirely in the British isles. 9irtctor of Construction Louis Exposition. Isaac S. Taylor, who has just been chosen director of construction and maintenance for the Louisiana Pur­ chase Exposition, was born in Nash­ ville, Tenn., in 1851.

In offering solutions of the servant girl problem it is a singular fact that scarcely anyone thinks of suggesting the plan of elevating cookery to a science that is worthy the attention and study of the brightest American women. The solutions that are now being proffered all tend toward one end, the - oiaplete abolishment of the kitchen as an adjunct of the modern home. One of these kitchen exterminators recently outlined his plan In the New lar congregation Is only 21. The fol­ lowing telegram from Washington tells of the president's first Sunday at this church. The service on Sunday was the President joined with the congre­ gation in singing "the hymn, "Jesus, the Hope of Israel, the Desired of All Nations." The pastor announced as his text Ephesians iii, 17-19: "That York Sun an<} conimended it to the consideration of American housekeep­ ers. His plan is to incorporate a com­ pany with sufficient capital to estab­ lish in various districts of a city large kitchens under the management of competent chefs, with a properly or­ ganized force of assistants and help­ ers.

V &eth JLobv Again* Seth Low, who is again a candidate for mayor of Greater New York, this time at the head of the ticket named by the committee of eighteen of the fusion forces of the city, has come to represent the independent element of New York citizenship by a kind of tra­ dition. Mr. Low's name, in a way, Is a synonym for good government and an antonym for corruption. Since 1889 SBTH LOW. he has been at the head of the Colum­ bia university, and is one of the very few prominent educators of the coun­ try who have found time to take an active part in politics and stand as a candidate for mayor in a city of the first class. Mr. Low was elected may­ or of Brooklyn in 1881 and re-elected with gratifying results. In 1897 he was nominated by the Citizens' Union party for first mayor of Greater New York. The only public office he has held since his mayoralty of Brooklyn is that of the delegate to the peace conference at The Hague in 1899. A Popular "Princess.

Those Americans who filed out of Westminster Abbey all possessed by the idea that there should be one buj> lal place for American presidents w^re singularly indifferent to the most im­ pressive feature of President McKiri- ley's funeral. Perhaps if they had been a little nearer home themselves they might then have caught the full meaning of that last home-coming. The man of the people goes back to the people In death as he would have done in life had he survived his term of office. It is that close grip of the neighborhood, of the old circle of friends and acquaintances of the fam­ ily, that habit of regarding his official experience as but an Incident of his American citizenship, that makes him in the truest sense a national character. A great pantheon at Washington would rather separate him from the people than bring him to them. It would have too much of the official stamp, would have but one narrow significance as regards all its dead ten­ ants, whereas the grave in the distant cemetery gives to the idea of the pres­ idency the broadest significance pos­ sible. It is through belonging to his town, his county and his state that a president belongs in the most intimate way to the nation. The J^eixt Floating Pale ce. $ The > munificent new steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm, which arrived in New York on her maiden voyage last week, is a triumph of naval architec­ ture and mechanical engineering. She was built by the Vulcan company of and>TtvaJs i« i»^a tht lai»eet KYr vessels afloat. Her dimensions are 663 feet length, 66 feet beam and 43 feet depth" and her displacement is 21,300 tons. This great mass of steel is pro­ pelled through the water by six enor­ mous engines of 33.000 horse power, to supply w^>^ eteatin tons But while the last resting-place of the body may be in Canton, or Spring­ field, or Cleveland, there is no reason why a national memorial should not be erected at Washington for any president or for all the presidents. A single magnificent presidential arch would have room for many inscrip­ tions covering the succession for many years. Or if it were , desired to select one man for special honor the struc­ ture might be made a beautifully artis­ tic tribute of regard for him and his work. Such monuments could be built most appropriately in the capital and with­ out affecting the question of burial. Of coal are consumed peir day. On the walls of the superb saloon are paint­ ings, the subjects of which pertain to the young crown prince of Germany. The subordinate saloons are decorated with landscape views of Potsdam, Sans Souci, Bonn and other German places of general interest. The drawing room above the saloon is a masterpiece of decoration and furnishing. Several novelties in the way of homelike ar­ rangements have been introduced Into the make-up of this , floating palace which altogether bears very little re­ semblance to ancient or modern Ideas of a sea-going ship. The Kronprinz Wilhelm is equipped with an appara- i tus for wireless telegraphy.

The Chicago Record-Herald says that the lead products of the country, stirred by the reported projection of a great $20,000,000 lead trust, under the control of the Whitney-Ryah-Guggen- heim smelting syndicate, are planning a close combination of the producing interests. Their object, It is stated, is to get into a position where they will not be at the mercy of the smelting combination. The plan, as set forth, Is to form a corporation of moderate caplta,l, which shall become the selling agency of the producers. The pro­ ducers plan, also, to store their prod­ uct when the conditions of the market make such action advisable, or to cur­ tail production. It is not proposed to combine the ownership of the mining properties. Several conferences of in­ fluential producers of lead are reported to have been held in Chicago recently, and it is stated that the movement has taken definite form.
