eirfh'een-year-old William l.inino, of,
Ml Kasi Seventy-third Street. whom
Policeman England, of the Last Sisty
seventh Street Station, had arrested
as Lucino was trying to pry the bronze
hinges off the galbry door Of the old
Yerkee place at Mi and ?M Fifth Ave- j
nue, which Mr. Ryan bought recently.
For years youngsters had been in the:
habit of breaking pieces off the famous
bronze fenee, and for years the police .
watched the house, and finally stopped
the vandalism. Two years ago it was
resumed.
Mr. Ryan's caretaker called the po-*
lice to his aid recently, and a watch
ba<i beer? kept on the house ever since.
Mr. Ryan has building plans which do |
not contemplate the employment of]
the bronze fence, and so has paid little

The new Chinese Republic, while,
abounding the Order of the Double

won' ?,. beetow upon distinguished ,
foreigners, has followed the example
ol the Republic of France in founding
other orders of knighthood In Its place.

wishes t.i honor, it is divided into,
five classes, the first of which is re- i
strlcted to foreign royalties and to

Unlike most European ordere of knight- ,

then I would add that he is an ex

said by those who know him best, that

While he favors representative and ?
Constitutional forms of government, j
and is sagacious enough to realize that I
Russia can never revert to autocracy in
the full sense of the word, yet he is
distinctly a conservative, and strongly 1
opposed ?" t.tda ailsm and ??> any of
its manifestations. He '., equally op-1
posed to Heers? of the press, and tn ?
favor of an intelligent control thereof
by the State He has no sympathy for
the Jews, and while li? has nor perse?
cuted them as Governor Of Tt hernigoff.
they have found very little good will
or favor at his hands. The best that
ran be said of hun in this respect Is j
that he has not tolerated their mal- 1
treat ment.
His aim is to continue the work of:
the murdered Premier Stolypin. to j
put the latter s plans and doctrines into ;
execution, and to promote the welfare
Of Russia as far as possible, without |
; foreign aid. Like Stolypin. he is in?
tolerant of dishonesty, keen to seen'
out and to punish it. and not easily .
deceived by his subordinates. At the
time when he undertook the duties of 1
Governor of Tacharnigoff the province,
was infested wi'h bands of robbers. Be
fOTS he had been a year in office he
had completely stamped them out of '.
existence.
Among hi-> chief allies at court is ;
Mme. Nariebklne, one of the principal
ladies in waiting and most trusted at?

kinc bears no title. The Nanshkmes ,
have always disdained to make use of
any handle to their name, rightly es- I
' teeming the iafter so historic and illus? j
. trious that any title would he super-,

DREAMS A SEAMLESS COAT
Woman's Tailor Wakes Up and Makes
Novel Oarment
Orange. N J . January 2??Take It
from Bernard Shapiro, a ladies' tailor
here, that great things come of dreams.
Mr. Shapiro save he has. through a
dream, solved the problem of the seam?
less form-fitting coat for women that
has been the hope and the despair of
tailors for the fair sex since men began
to make clothes for women.
There an I a seam in the Shapiro
coat, and the task of cutting, basting
and sewing is eliminated. The tailor
?aye his invention will revolutionize the
' making of clothes all over the world.
I There is also bone for men. for if a
seamless coat for women can be evolved
why not one for men. asks Mr. Shapiro.
For fourteen years Mr. Shapiro had
been working over the problem of mak?
ing a coat that could be fitted to the
shape without ?-Utting the cloth into
pieces. sewing them into seams.
The problem became so great a part
of his life that he never went to sleep
but that he dreamed of it.
"One night a few years ago." s.iys
Mr. Shapiro. "I went to bed after
working all day on a piece of cloth
which I was trying to tailor into a
SOSllllins coat. I dreamed about Inf
work, and all of a sudden I saw myssM
making the coat. Then I discovered
t>... sr., ret. The njjc? morning 1 got
busy on th" cloth again, and before
the day was over I had finished the
first seamless coat ever made."
The tailor also dreamed that his in?
vention brought him riches To n.ako
this part of his dream come true he
has applied for a patent.
