nearly 100000. Ac-
cording to the new directory, the popu-
latlon is already over 1,750,000. This is
the resident population only. Allow
ing for an annual increase of $4,000,
which is moderate estimate, we should
be very near the 100000 figure three
years hence. Should the dream of
Samuel j. Tilden's friend, Andrew III.
Green, then be realized. and Brooklyn,
Long Island City and Staten Island be
taken into the municipality of New
York, the figure may not be far short of
$4,000 For it is pretty certain that
Brooklyn alone will then have full mil
lion within its limits. 1t grows even
faster. relatively, than New York, and
its possibilities of expansion are almost
unlimited. 1t can extend itself all the
way down to Coney Island, to hear
what the wild waves are saying. And
while Brooklyn runs out toward the sea,
New York tends in the opposite direc-
ton. The building up of the section
north of the Harlem river, almost as
large in area as the original municipal
ity of Manhattan Island, goes steadily

creased real estate valuation for the

1t is the only part of New York In
which building lots can now be bought
at moderate price--say from $1,000 to
$4,000. The law still allows frame
houses to be built in part of the new
section. so man may have a home of
his own for $4,000 or $1,000. The only
drawback is that he will lose good
deal of time travelling to and fro if his
employment or business is down town.
So far as that section is concerned,
rapid transit is mOckery. A trip far
into the country can be made in less
time than it takes to go from the city
hall to Fordham-ab thirteen miles.
1t is the difficulty of reaching the dis
trict north of Harlem without great loss
of time that causes Brooklyn and the
New Jersey suburbs to grow so rapidly.

may now be happy in the assur-
ance that she can keep on draw
ing money from her first husbands
estate to pay the expenses of her
second husband, the graceless duke.
Only couple of weeks ago she drew

since she became duchess, drawn for
a like amount or more, and got it. Louis
Hammersley's money is certainly flying

the expectation that he would get
good deal of it that the reprobate of a
duke proposed marriage to Hammers
