The Gorgeous New Office of New York’s
Prison Superintendent..
Albany Journal.
The Hon, Cornelius V. Collins, superin-
tendent of prisons, has a private office in
the capitol that for the gorgeousness of
its decorations outshines even the execu-
tive chamber, and the most remarkable
thing about it is the work was all done by
convicts.
In fitting up the room Superintendent
Collins decided to utilize the resources of
the prisons and make the room practical-
ly an exhibit of what the state convicts
can do.. In Sing Sing prison there was an
architect who was counted as the best
designer of mantels in the country, and he
was called upon to prepare plans for the
decoration of the room. He prepared a
set that called for a highly decorated ceil-
ing, lofty paneled wainscot, bookcase and
doors. When his plans were completed
they were turned over to the wood carv-
ing department at Sing Sing and every
'detail of the work was done , by convicts
there.
All of the woodwork is of dark English
oak. There is an elaborately carved wain-
scot about nine feet high, a deep paneled-
ceiling, bookcase, mantel, chairs, desk and
doors. On the south side of the room
there is a lofty mantel and beneath it is a
deep settle built into the wall and uphol-
stered in £ed leather. In the northeast
corner there is a carved corner couch sim-
ilarly upholstered. The north side of the
room is entirely filled with a bookcase of
carved oak, iron and cut glass. This has
a swell front, and its style of decoration
reminds one in a measure of the buffets
in the Wagner palace cars. There is
scarcely a square inch of its woodwork
that is not carved and the polish , of the
wood vies wifch ’that of the glass. On the
west side the vainscot is topped with a
heavy cornice surmounted by a spread
eagle.
The ceiling is in keeping with the walls,
but if possible even more ornate. It con-
sists of small square panels, very deep
and heavily carved. As a finish to the
ceiling the walls are encircled with a
carved oak frieze. Between the frieze and
the top of the vtainscot the walls are cov-
ered with empire green velour that re-
lieves the rather somber tone given to the
room by the .dark woodwork. A dark
green carpet ajso adds its brightening ef-
fect.
Superintedent Collins’ desk and the
chairs in the room are all of solid oak to
match the walls and present scarcely a
spot that does not bear some reminder of
the carver’s work.

THE FOOL.
PAPER FELT MAKERS.
SOAP MANUFACTURERS.
Detroit Journal.
It chanced that the Miser and the Spend-
thrift took ship together.
En voyage, the Spendthrift bought much
wine and sat long at the gaming table.
“The fool and his money soon part!”
sighed the Miser.
Presently a storm arose, and the ship
foundered, and they were all cast into
the water, and the Miser, having his gold
in a belt about his waist, sank to the bot-
tom.
“The fool and his money,” observed the
Spendthrift, sadly, for he was a generous
soul, “don’t always part!”
After that the Spendthrift swam to a
raft, where he starved to death.
“Hey, there!” yelled the hospital doctor
on the trail of a delirious patient. “Did
you notice a fellow around here wander-
ing in his mind?” “I did not sorr,” re-
plied the new night watchman, “but there
wuz a chap wint by wid mighty little else
on him.”—Philadelphia Record.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 11.—For several
months Boston promoters have been en-
deavoring to consolidate the paper felt
makers’ business of the country. There
are 13 factories in the United 'States,
manufacturing the product used by all
paper and straw board makers. The ma-
terial is made of a fine grade of wool. The
factories are situated in Maine, New York,
Ohio, Massachusetts and Wisconsin.
Nearly all the principal manufacturers
are in session in this city endeavoring to
■regulate prices to conform to the 20 per
cent advance in wool.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 11.—Manufactur-
ers of toilet soap from all parts of the
United States are holding sessions at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. The object of the
conference is' to raise and regulate prices.
While raw materials have advanced, sharp
competition has materially reduced prices
to jobbers and retailers.
BISHOP POTTER’S CURT NOTE,
Da Costa Took an Active Dish in the
Briggs Controversy and Severely
Criticized the Bishop.
Rev. Dr, De Costa’s Resignation
Meets a Ready Response.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 11.—Rev. Dr.
Benjamin F, DeCosta, when told last
night of'Bishop Potter’s unusual celerity
in deposing him from the Episcopal minis-
try, said: “I had expected that Bishop
Potter would act promptly on Sunday.
_ “Why? Because I know the man and
believed he would not delay an hour long-,
er than was necessary. A different kind
of a man would have allowed the person
resigning an opportunity for considera-
tion. The canon mentions three months.
I am quite satisfied, however, and am glad
it is over.
“The last time I trusted him I promised
that it would be the last. He has justi-
fied my expectations and I have kept my
word. I may add that this evening I re-
ceived a letter from him dated on Satur-
day, saying that he would proceed, but
mentioning no date. He is certainly an
adroit ecclesiastical manager.”
The letter to which Dr. DeCosta refers
is as .follows:
“Reverend Sir: I beg to acknowledge
your communication of this date renounc-
ing the ministry of the Protestant Epis-
copal church and to advise that in accord-
ance with the provision of section 1 of
canon 5 of title 2 of the digest, I shall pro-
ceed to take such action as is therein re-
quired. Very truly yours,
“H. C. POTTER,
“Diocesan house, Lafayette Square.
“New York, Oct. 7,”
Dr. DeCosta said that his letter to Bish-
op Potter giving his reasons for resigning
contained about 4500 words. It was deliv-
ered tq the bishop Saturday morning, to-
gether with a message that the writer
gave the bishop until noon on Monday to
make a reply if he wished to do so. The
bishop left New York Sunday morning for
St. Paul and stopped off at Poughkeepsie,
where the deposition was performed. Al-
though the bishop has authority to act
promptly upon a resignation, it is custom-
ary to wait for the three months which
are allowed for retraction and possible
consideration have expired.
Mr. DeCosta said that his resignation
is part of the fight in defense of the Bible,
but he declined to state what his plans
for the future are further than to say
that he does not contemplate koing on the
lecture platform, writing a book or en-
gaging in any other work at present. ■
“I need rest,” he said, “and I intend to
take it. It is not true that T am receiv-
ing religious instruction from the Jesuit
fathers at St. Francis Xavier’s church or
anywhere else.”

with DeCosta in the Briggs controversy

take it to China and have it published in
his native language,” said the admiral in
telling the story to his ■ relatives. “He
thought the story was too good to keep,
and he meant to enlighten his people. He
was writing a book about me on the floor
of my bedroom while I was trying to
sleep.”
When the servant was helping him with
his toilet in the morning the admiral
started to converse with him. He could
not subdue his interest. It was like a new
baby coming into the family and had to be
discussed. The admiral invited his im-
pressions of other things.
“What do you think of this hotel, boy?”
he asked.

What the Admiral Caught Him Writing
One Night.
New York Times.
After Admiral Dewey retired on ^fltur-
day night at the Waldorf-Astoria he dis-
covered an author in his room. He was
not surprised, because nothing ever sur-
prises him. He laughed about it when he
got up yesterday morning and he joined
heartily in the laughter which followed
his rehearsal of the incident to his rela-
tives.
It seems that when the admiral retired,
shortly before 8 o’clock, he was too tired to
sleep. Finally he opened his eyes and dis-
covered that the far corner of the room
was illuminated.
“What are you doing, boy?” he cried,
and his Chinese servant jumped to his feet
with a start. It was his custom to sleep
under his blanket in the corner of the
room.
“Writing,” replied the scared Celestial.
“Writing what?” demanded the admiral.
“Book,” and that was all he could say.
The admiral got interested. Wha't could
the boy mean? he asked himself. Then,
from his position in bed he investigated.
On the floor there was a little Chinese
lamp, throwing out a feeble and intermit-
tent light and ingeniously shaded so that
its rays, would not penetrate the darkness
surrounding the admiral’s couch. Before
it on. the floor the blanket was stretched,
and in-one corner rested a lot of Chinese
writing materials and paper.
“He told me he was writing a book about
me and my reception, and he was going to
in the middle of the floor to give the word
emphasis and eloquence.
“Why, that was a pretty fine hotel we
stopped at in your country,” said the ad-
miral.
“Oh, no,” said the boy quickly. Then ha
stopped and looked around before continu-
ing: “China hotel four, five, six times ge
inside.” ;
