WHAT HE CALLED WARM WEATHER.

"You don't call this weather warm, do you?" he
asked dropping into a chair and pushing away fan
which lay on the table. "Why,' this is paradise.
Never experienced any warm weather around Wala
WaIla, did you? No, l thought not They have
warm weather there when the hot winds come they
scorch things so that the grass withes before your
eyes The people there know what warm weather
Is But of course they get used TO 1t. NOW there
Tombstone Arizona 100. Ever been there! Well.
II would paw YOU TO 60 down there just to what
warm weather is like sand all around, you know,
or rather alkall-fat country. The plain glistens
like diamonds That's good country for warm
weather, might almost say hot weather. Cook eggs
in the sand, you interchangeable for the feet,
but convenient when there's no fuel handy. But
this is pleasant Now take the sonoma valley"
But something droppcd on the floor and the man who
knew what warm weather was got up cast Wlther-
ing look Of contempt at It and went out TO md a
place In which TO sun himself.

RAPID TRANSIT TO THE EXPOSITION.

TO the Ldttor oIThe Tribune.
SIR: The site Of the Exposition must DO above One
hundred-and fifty -hfth-s ard preferably beyond the
Harlem River. An Intelligent committee win prob
ably decide that It should be in one OF the
now parks in the Annexed District But the means OF
transit are even now insufficient to accommodate the
traffic. No in his senses would expect the ex-
listing railroads TO handle tho traffic Of worlds ex-
position.
Rapid transit is already public necessity which
increases with every days delay. Until one can
1t tho prudence of the Exposition is Questionable
If can have rapid transit In time for the Ex-
position, and fail TO secure IT, our city Will deserve
what 1t VIII inevitably receive, unusual condemnation
for its recklessneSs and want Of business energy.
There is no good reason why We should not have
an Exposition on the best site and the means of reach
Ing It in 1899. The press and the people are in
favor Of vlsduct railroad purchased right of
way. Whether we arc TO have such railroad. de-
ponds upon the will of the municipal authorities alone
A viaduct railroad is a costly undertaking. While
1t be built without any action of tho city authorl
ties, prudent will not undertake 1t In the face OF
their hostility until their attitude toward IL IS
defined 1t is not necessary that the city should
sumo any pecuniary responsibility Tho friendly,
harmonious cooperation Of the Mayor and heads OF
leading departments Is all that IS required put q
four track vaduct railroad under construction within
sixty days, and to complete it within two years
required IS the great obstacle 10 vleduct road on
this subject express opinion. I state the fact
that parties of the requisite financial strength abroad
offer 10 furnish tho entire required upon favor
able terms. II may also DC stated that the opinion
| IS general among our own financial men that this
money ought 10 be raised In this country. and that It
will be readily contributed whenever the city authorities
put themselves I'm line with public opinion. and II Is
made clear that the enterprise Will be conducted upon
business principles by those who entitled to public
confidence
l suggest then that the preliminary stop which
should precede any action relating 10 the site of the
Exposition should be tho appointment Of committee
upon rapid transit Possibly such q committee
might remove all the obs tacles and bring tho NUM-
cipal authorities and all other interests into har-
monious cooperation for viaduct railroad. Should
they succeed, they would confer great benefit upon
the city. by securing early rapid transit. and at the
same time remove the principal obstruction TO suc-
cessful Exposition. l.. +. CHITTENDEN.
