the Board. They first united as a
society under the title of the Ladies'
Health Protective Association" [why
they objected to its being called the
"Womens' " nobody knows) aud
then, as have said, appealed to the
Board. That august body called
Michael Kane, the proprietor of the
odoriferous heap before them, and be
explained that he was engaged in the
business of cleaning stables for differ
ent parties, and that unless he had
some place to pile the manure the
stables must go dirty. To back him
up in his request for pc Tmanent
dun pg ground, the representatives
of aboh 165 livery stable keepers APP
peared before the Board, and they ex-
planned that there was the accumula-
tions FROM some 10000 horses to be
taken care Of, and finally the Board
promised to--take action in the mat
ter.
Aud speaking of Board of Health
matters brings up case affecting the
youths of our, and every other city.
The Sanitary Bureau physician, DIR.
Edison, has been examining the pro-
ducts offs large number of our candy
factories, and in very large proper
ton of them he has found that
chrome-yellow, a preparation of lead,
is used as coloring matter. In ad
dition to this, such poisonous mater
ial as red lead, Prussian blue, and the
aniIine dye called fuchsine is en-
ployed. All these so-called sdulter-
ated candies were seized, but no ar
rests were made as the manufacturers
promised to discontinue their use.
When you next visit New York do
not look for me anywhere below 18th
street. Time was when could never
be found above that line, which then
divided the "city" from the "coun-
try" The elevated railway has
changed ali that, and now, unless
man goes into lower New York to
renew policy, or maybe take d new
| risk in Wall street, there is no need
! for his being seen "below 18th" IN
deed, there are plenty of young men
and women who, though born in the
! city, have never traversed Broadway
below Union Square, except it may
be on their way to the Staten Island
boats on pleasure bent. And soon
| there will be no occasion for going
to the Battery Or Whitehall at all for
such purpose, as the Island, the Bay
and, in fact, all the harbor of New
! York will be available by boats start
ing from the East and North River
slips in the vicinity of 22nd, or any
other of the wide cross-town streets.
The means for getting from one part
| of the city to the other increase every
| year, and so do the suburban points
of resort. One advantage that the
| New Yorker enjoys is that he can be
taken tout of town" into some sylvan
retreat Boston for example, in very
short time, and at frequent intervals.
Just now people are looking to see
that on their pet lines Of travel there
are no chances for ''land-slides," such
as occurred on the West Shore rail
road, near the Highlands, a few days
ago. Though the train was derailed,
no one was killed, and but few in
jured. Still, one does not like to have
to contemplate the possibility of be-
ing upset in railway carriage when
going 40 miles an hour, for even if
one is not killed it dlsarranges one to
an uncomfortable extent.
Neither is it pleasant to be stopped
in the street as Mr.. Children was the
other night and have some highway
men ego through" you, even, as in
his case, if they get nothing and the
victim manages to secure and have
arrested one of the ruffians. Still,
these things will occur, and the
safest plan is not to be out late
o. nights, or if you are out to have
nothing valuable with you.
One of the grnndest ''consolida-
tions" that has been effected lately is
that of the Edison, Brush, Siemens,
Bently, Knight and Field Electric
Companies into one mammoth con-
Germ, with capital of 81 900, 900; the
shares are to be distributed amongst
the contracting parties according to
the awards made by the Electric
Commission, of which Sir William
Thompson is chairman.
