NEW YORK LETTER By Norman. New York, Oct. 9. There is a boy aged 9 in a family which recently returned to its uptown apartment, after spending the summer in the country. Mother, small son and maids went to the flat. Father went to his office, where a pressure of work compelled him to labor all day and far Into the evening. When he got home every body had gone to bed. Approaching the bathroom door he found it closed, and adorned with a large sheet of wrapping paper, on which a pro clamation of .some sort seemed to have been laboriously printed in large and straggling capital letters. Turning up the hall light, this is what father read: Do not open the bath room dore Do not rase the window Do not turn up the light Do not make any noise There is a mud turtel asleep in the wash basin Y The M. H. Savage mystery is a queer thing. It listens like the plot of a novel. A man handed in this advertise ment at the offices of a morning pa per: "In Memoriam M. H. Savage, pianist, died Oct. 4, 1909, through a railroad wreck in Canada. P. O. A. M." "Savage's mother lives at 166 Schmerhorn St., Brooklyn," said the man. He was identified through the charred remains of a traveling bag, which bore his name." M. H. Savage was found at the ad dress given. "This is very strange," said he. "Five years ago, when I was employed as a pianist by a moving picture company, I met, in Sidney, Canada, a pianist named Martin H. Savage, who worked for a theatrical company. My name is Marvin H. Savage. I became quite well ac quainted with this man, but I had never heard of his death." How Martin Savage's address came to he given by the man who paid for the memorial notice is an unexplain ed mystery. - - o o Florida in 1912 mined 2,973,332 tons of phosphate rock, valued at $11,675,774.
