uew7T,s RECOMMENDATIONS

NEW YORK, Feb. LIN the third mes
sage to the board of alderman, sent in to-
day. Mayor Hewitt says, in speaking OF the
Jake Sharp surface road:
s.Tbe original grooved rail was far better
than the present center-bearlng rail-. I'M
proved rails should be introduced here at
once. and recommend that one OF the city
railroads he required to lay its track with
such a rail as may be approved by
the commissioner of public works.
The pavement in Broadway is sub
stantially ruined by the existing track
would, therefore, recommend that Broad
way, between Fourteenth street and the
Battery. should be selected as the place In
which the new rails shall 1lrst be put
down"
The MAYOR also recommends the build
ing of an underground system OF RAPID
transit to run from the Grand Central de-
pot to the Brooklyn bridge and City Hall.
He says:
81 propose taat the city of New York
shall enter into contract with the New
York Central railroad company by which
the city sholl provide for the construction
of the railroad and pay for the same by
the issue of its bonds bearing inter
est at the rate of per cent per annum::
let the proderty at an annual
rental of ) per cent of its cost, and shall
operate the same. providing its own equip
ment, for. the period OF thirty-hye years
when, through the operation OF the SINK,
ing fund, the principal of the bonds shall
have been paid off AT the end OF the time
limited the road will revert to the CITY,
absolutely paid for and freed from debt,
and new bargain can then be made by
which the profits of the business shall be
fairly divided between the railroad COM
pany and the city, and the rate OF TAR re-
duced if deemed desirable

The Question of Divorce.

The average wife is made happy and con-
tent by very small exhibition of love and
very ordinary methods Of kindness. Every
day and everywhere 1 see women giving
pounds of gratitude for ounces of attention
from their husbands Everywhere and every
day I see women economzing with cents
while their husbands throw away dollars.
Therefore / believe that it requires pro-
nounced cruelty and decided lack of support
to force women into an application for di-
vorce. They win bear a vast amount of
poverty and neglect before they resort to
such method Of redress
Indeed, We can all of us cite scores of cases
where wives cover up and condone the worse
offenses against their dignity and their hap
piness rather than give publicity to their
SORROWS. | heard a gentleman express al
opinion on this subject not long ago. He
said: !'If the law permitted the inattention
and impoliteness and fault finding ways of
husbands to be just causes for divorce
men would make far better life partners. A
man often neglects a woman" he said just
because she belongs to him and he knows she
will bear it, If he knew that he was liable
to lose her by that neglect he would be more
on his guard, as he is in the days of court
ship" | asked him if the same rule might
not apply to both sexes. NO" he said, for
women are truer and more domestic by ma
tllre, more easily satisfied with their choice
in marriage and more unwilling to become
themes of public gossip. Nine men tire of
their wives where one woman tires of her
husband TIE law amended as | suggest it
would not increase divorces but would speed
lily increase the number of good husbands. y

Knows When to Be Silent.

But no matter how much woman may
crave gentle attentions and loving notice, if
wise she viii teach herself to understand the
great power she NAV earn by silence-not
grim, unamiable silence, but that which
gently, unostentatiously tends to peace. Its
patient continuance viii often enlighten the
eyes which have been unconsciously holden
to the unintentional neglect which has, per-
haps, left shadows on the home life, and orce
recognized they will love and honor the wife
all the more for the quiet lesson she has
taught by her silence. There are times in
mems lives far more than in woman's when
any reply to hasty OR careless remarks or
complaints, however just, of inattention or
supposed neglect would be most untimely
and perhaps cause serious trouble.
A woman in comfortable health naturally
rises in the morning in a cheerful, happy
frame of mind, inclined to sprightly CONVEX.
sation, and, were her husband able to be
equally SO, could in those few moments OF
morning converse and greeting drink in
enough nectar to make her eyes bright and
her step elastic ali day long. But life of
business or public duties is seldom conducive
to a good nights rest or cheerful, happy
waking However, it often happens that the
short time devoted to waking and dressing
are the very moments when a wise woman
will hold her peace, content to know that
kindly attentions and pleasant words have
more power and are better appreciated after

Newspaper Versus Magazine.

A comparison between the method of max
ing a newspaper and the method of making a
magazine. for instance, suggests some inter
esting reflections The dozen articles or SO
which make up magazine are selected out
of an enormous mass Of matter submitted
They are usually written and signed by well
known men and women, who ought TO be
more jealous of their regulations than they
sometimes seem. Before being put into typo
each article is read and reread; a solemn con-
clavc of editors is held over each dehatabls
word or phrase, with the frequent result of
sacrificing the freshness and individuality Of
writer's style to exaggerated ideas OF deco
rum. The article is put In type without
haste, and is read and reread again and again
before the final publication.
In the newspaper everything is done with q
rush. "Copy" is prepared with great rapid
ity, and is often given out without revision,
is seldom proof read more than twice, FIRE.

and yet the comparison between a good news
paper and a good magazine is not SC unfavor-
able to the former The magazine will be
little better in respect to proof errors. though
not much. It's English will be no more cor
rect than that Of the newspaper, though GER
tainly more precise and formal. The chances
are that the magazine will contain greater
percentage of positively heavy, unreliable
matter. and that the newspaper will be more
interesting. racy and practical Considering
the advantage in favor of the magazine, it
certainly makes q poor showing an such .
critical comparison. -BrooklyD TinnI.

THE MINORITY REPORT,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The minority of
the house committee on postofiices and
postroads today filed minority report on
Representative Anderson's bill to require
the Pacific railroad companies to afford
equal facilities to all telegraphic COM
panies in the transmission of telegraph
business. While it expresses sympathy
with the purpose of the ma ority to pre-
vent any discrimination by any of the
subsidized land grant roads, it believes
that the legislation proposed would not be
wise if it We're. competent, and that the
bill, with it, amendments. is unconstitu-
tional as seeking to interfere with vested
rights The Western Union company
built at its own expense additional lines
for the railroad and it gave and gives the
Use of lines and employees for the railroad
business, and in the opinion of the minor
ity there is no more right or power to
amend such contracts by legislation than
there is to legiSlate the title of a granger's
farm into base ball ground without the
farmers consent.
