The BRIDGE EXTENSION.

Governor Hill should promptly sign the
Bridge extension bill, and there ought to be no
unreasonable delay in providing the relief for
the Bridge passengers which has long been
sought. Soon after the Bridge railway was
opened it became evident that the projectors of
the structure had greatly underestimated the
number of people they would be compelled to
proyile accommodations for. The station at
this end especially was found inadequate.
Trains only two cars in length could be
switched The necessity for more room was
apparent, but the efforts to extend the station
met with serious opposition and it was found
necessary to appeal to the Legislature The bill
passed last year, however, was not perfect in
some points and embraced other matters than
this; so Governor Hill, for reasons probably not
unknownin Brooklyn, found excuse for vetOing
it. although the Bridge fares had been reduced
and the railway was being worked to its full
extent. There was no decided opposition to
the extension except on the part of Mr. Often
dorfer and it was absurd for one man to stand
in the way of the millions who use the Bridge
yearly.
The extension, it is probable, will be speed
lily built About 10000 passengers are now
carried daily in the Bridge cars with the in
creased facilities double that number can be
transported. To do this, however, trains twice
as long as those Iun at present must be run at
intervals of one and half minutes. This is
the limit of safety, and we may assume that
100000 passengers daily is the limit of the
Bridges carrying capacity with the present
system. 1t cannot be many years. though, be-

The Legislature is now month old, and

little work has been done. A number of bills
of local interest have been introduced, and sew
eral have been passed; but not one of the great
measures of public concern which it has been
confidently expected this Legislature would
consider has been brought forward. Delay
and dawdling are not to the credit OF Legislators

We should not be surprised to learn to-day
that the directors of the Union Ferry Company
are very sick, owing to the painful shock
which they experienced yesterday when an
"outside party" had the assurance to bid at
public auction for the lease of the city's fran
chse now held by this corporation. Moreover,
the bid was for 12l2 per cent of the gross
receipts-a price which the company in a hol-
low tone of voice had declared was extortlonate
and quite beyond their means STILL
we notice that they did not deem it wise to let
the property pass out of their hands, for they
promptly bid 1924 per cent and thus obtained
the lease. The city, which is thus Il of
Der cent ahead, owes larger or smaller debt
of gratitude to the "Outside party" who is
doubtless a man that knows good bargain
when he sees one and was not misled by the
feigned wailings of the Union Ferry people
over decreased profits.

There is reason to bebieve that revolution
will speedily break out again in Panama, and
that reason is the fact that when the COlOm-
bians put down the last trouble they did not
hang Aizpuru, one of the rebellOu's leaders.
Clemency is beautiful thing but the
wisdom of exercising it depends upon the
character of the benefclaries. If they
are men of honor and intelligence it may pay
to be merciful but when they are worthless
fellows like the mass of revolutiOnists in Cen
trail America and on the lsthmus, to spare their
lives is to SOW the seed of future trouble. But
in any event American interests on the lsthmus
will not suffer this time as they did before.
Our Atlantic fleet what there is of it, is down

the trouble.

A Wicked Partner.

'tDo you know what is running this
country?" said Judge BIuker. II will
tell you. 1t is not over production, but
it Is the dishonesty of the people that
destroys public and private confidence.
I'll give you an example of dishonesty
practiced upon me by a party named
Jimpleson. He came to my house one
day and told me that he had one of the
best schemes in the world; said that he
had gold mine not far away, and that
if he only had little gold with which
to salt it he could sell the claim for 800, =
900. He was so plausible, talked 50
fairly, that l was completely taken in. l
went with him and looked at the mine
| was in need of about $50, 900, so con-
cluded to let him have the gold. He
had said that he could take gold piece,
CRATE it off, and so skillfully embed it in
the sand that no one could detect our
scheme. How much gold will it takeP
| asked.
''Oh, about $500. I can take that
amonnt and make the place worth at
least $3.50, 900 to rs"
81 gave the money and he got crater
and went out to the mines. Several days
afterward he invited me to come out
He had done his work well. We invited
capitalists to come and make us bid
My partner was not present when an
assay was made. Good thing for him
that he wasn't. He had salted the mine
with copper dust and had kept the gold.
l have not seen hin since. Now, don t
you see, l lost confidence in him. He
is not an honest man. ."-ArkansalU

A COniurOr's Wonderful Trick.

The Figaro, the.nIost popular news,
paper of the-4Sli scAtropOlis, invited
be present at es1sf appearance in
Paris of a ma.Wgbus conjuror and of a
singularly compcS- Russian Choral So
ciety. The name # the "illusioniste, "
as he calls himself is Buatier de Kolta,
and he is Hungarian by birth. His
tricks were all original and perfectly IN
comprehensive, T67t to the adopts as
sembled to critfcia-athem. l will only
attempt to describe one, which thorough
ly puzzled all present.
After spreading newspaper on the
floor he placed chair upon it, and
then asked a young lady to sit down.
He threw over her q piece of silk, which
barely covered hsr from head to foot.
He then rapidly removed the drapery,
and the chair was empty. AS soon as
the amazement of the spectators gave
them time to applaud, the young lady
walked on from the side and bowed her
acknowledgements. There certainly was
no trap in the floor, the chair was of an
ordinary kind, aud the trick was done
in a strong light. The lady, in fact,
disappeared before the very eyes of the
audience; but so quickly was the trick
done that no one present saw her es-
cane
