Lights of New York ! by LL STEVENSON John Golden,' the proprietor, was In an anecdotal mood recently and told a etory concerning the late Charles Frohman. Years ago, In London, Mr. Frohman stopped at the Savoy. The first morning after his arrival, he rang for a waiter and explained that he wanted his morning meal served al ways at eight o'clock and that it was to consist of half a grape fruit, two eggs boiled two and a half minutes, toast and coffee. He also informed the waiter that he didn't care for conver sation early In the morning and wasn't Interested either in the weather or politics. Each , morning, the waiter arrived on the minute with the break fast at Just the right temperature,' served it silently and departed silently. For two' weeks, the same thing con tinned and so impressed with the service was Mr. Frohman that he con tinued to talk long after his return, of the one perfect waiter be had encountered in all his travels. One morplng it was Mr. Frohman's birthday there came a knock at his door and when he said, "Come In." much to his surprise In walked that same English waiter with the usual Frohman breakfast. The waiter served It silently and departed silently Just as he had back In London. Not' until later did Mr. Frohman learn that his fellow producer, Charles Dillingham, bad arranged to transport the waiter from London to New Tork as a birth day present' to Mr. Frohman. Tbe waiter continued in Mr. Frohman's service until he died, some years later. Then be entered Mr. Dilling ham's employ and was in charge of the house until after Mr, Dillingham married. ---- -giila" ; Mr. Golden told the story at luncheon In one of the larger hotels. Finding be had forgotten bis glasses, in his usual spontaneous manner, he bor rowed a pair belonging to tbe bead waiter. Having adjusted them, be looked at the owner. "There," he said, "is the perfect waiter Mr. Frohman found in London." When the 100 or more policemen, who work under Deputy Inspector Jo seph Bannon, moved out of the Ar senal station In Central park recently to another building In the park far ther up town, they left behind a building older than the park Itself. The arsenal was built by the state in 1848 as a depository for arms and ammunition. At that time It was in what was practically a wilderness. In 1856, the city purchased the arsenal and tbe land surrounding it and dur ing the war between the states, it was used to house troops. Then it be came a police station as well as head quarters of the park department Now It is being used solely by the park department Discoveries are always being made. Ed Hart, finding his lighter dry, filled It accidentally with a highly adver tised cold remedy. Seemingly it works Just as well as ordinary lighter fluid though It Is a bit more expensive. Maybe a press agent story Is o. k. today. A bright young man bad a wealthy client who never bad done anything worth a single line of pub licity. So the press agent undertook a lot of digging and finally assembled a bunch of good, harmless stories to which the name of his boss could be attached. Before he could place any, bis employer became blond-Involved and bit the tabloids with a bang. So the press agent not only lost his Job but also has a file of stories ready for a new name. Robert Van Rosen, scenic designer, was recently presented with a Tibetan sacrificial dagger by Prof. Nicholas Roerleh, of the Roerlch museum. It contains one large dagger, two small dirks and a blood wiper. Semi-precious stones ornament tbe scabbard. Collectors place a value of more than $5,000 on tbe ancient weapon. The original owner is said to have killed more than 400 men with It. Vao Rosen keeps it in his home. I wouldn't e Bell 8yndlcst. WKO ferric. Quintuplets Get Table Designed in Star Form Tamaqua, Pa. A table Id tbe form of a star, designed and built by J. E. Dyer of Frackvllle, near here, has received recognition from Dr. Allan Roy . Dafoe, doctor . for the DIonne quintuplets, in their behalf. '! Poctor Dafoe expressed his appreci ation of tbe unique table in a letter t Dyer. ;:r f ; Dyer built the table like a star so that each of the quintuplets would have her place apart from the others, and designated the places the girls were to occupy by inlaying a gold let ter on each offset 1 0 lAtf Jrave Luggage It f.

Three wooden shields, some Id centuries old, used by the Roman soldiers stationed In Dura, "the Pompeii of the Euphrates," have been uncovered in that ancient city by the Tale expedition under the leadership of Dr. Clark Hopkins. The shields, of fragile wood, bear paintings sufficiently well preserved to allow accurate reconstructions. They are executed with extraordinary spirit and great skill, and show classical sub jects clad In manifestly eastern garb. Doctor Hopkins terms them "impor tant links In the history of the develop ment of ancient types of art." Doctor Hopkins has announced that funds have been obtained to continue excavations for at least another year in Dura, which "still remains so rich in antiques that one can scarcely touch the spade to the ground with out revealing finds of the utmost his torical Importance." Stops Train to Release Animal Caught in Fence Joplin, Mo. A dog was caught in a fence and might have died there If it had not been for a friendly engineer of a Frisco railroad train. C. D. Perry, the engineer, and B. R. Barber, fireman, -noticed the dog's plight one day on their run between Carthage and Monett, near here, but were unable to stop because another train was following a short distance behind. The next day they watched, how ever, saw the dog still enmeshed and stopped to release it. Woman, 65, Travels 6,000 Miles to Wed Nelsonvilie, Ohio. A romantic Journey of 6,000 miles was started on a recent night by Mrs. Maggie Joy Riddle, sixty-five years old, of Nelsonvilie. Sbe began a train ride to Vancouver, B. C, from where she will sail for Auckland, New Zealand, to become the bride of Allen Clegg, a widower, and a member of the faculty of the Uni versity of New Zealand. More than 30 years ago she knew Mr. and Mrs. Clegg in Yorkshire, England. Mrs. Clegg died two years ago, the same day a letter arrived from Mrs. Riddle telling of the death of her husband. Correspon dence that followed between Mrs. Riddle and Mr. Clegg resulted In their marriage plans. During her residence In the Unit ed States, Mrs. Riddle has crossed the Atlantic seven times.
