NOW, RAPID TRANSIT.

Tie question of rapid transit in this city
is M urgent one at all times, but espe-
cially SO at this juncture when the removal
of THOMAS PLATT has allowed the Worlds
Fair to loom up ut shorter range than
Chicago. II we are going to hHve the Fair
here In New York, some added facilities
OF transportation for the thousands who
will crowd to the city are an imperative
necessity.
A Rapid Transit bill was sent TO the
legislature last year. II was approved
by press and people. MIR. PL,rT's oh.
struciIvo personality has hampored the
passage of this bill. II is hard to think
that in every great move which looks to
the advantage of this city m element 70
success should lave TO be the suppression
of tho man from 0wego. But acceptance
of the situation Is only reasonable, and
the first move towards rapid transit is
the prompt elimination of PLATT. VIII

she doesn't like TO have her iaco brushed

the habit ho has Of putting his arm about
her neck TO show her his method. These
are slight grievances to- mike, but they
are grievances nevertheless, and they
have n tendency, with other lapses con
mon in the shops where men and women
are closely associated, TO lower the moral
tone of the shop and rob the girl OF
heavens choicest blessinV-mudesty.
Perhaps II is rot asking too much to
request that the men cover thciT shirts

erect figures were noticeable among either
sex. A spirit of friendliness existed be-
tween operators of the same tongue, and
the discipline could not have been I'M
p~roved-that is. i'll the interest of capital.
MODELS OF uEEoIsM.
Taking the cigarette ard cigar industry
throughout the city. the conditions of
morality are varied. and generally Of u
lower standard han is to be found in any
other industry, with the single exception
If kitchen-work. In some factories the
moral tone amounts to sublin.ity, and
models of true heroism are found III rags
that cover without protecting the bodies
they hide.
One striking feature is lack of home
restraint or the complete absence of home
influence. Hundreds are strangers IN
the city, and live in boarding or lodging
houses, where the perilous freedom and
unsafe a~cquaiutauces complete the moral
and social ruin that the physical dlscom-
fort OF u cold room, poor bed aud INSULT
cient iood and clothing propagate.
Thai spark of celestial FIRE can scarcely
lie kept glowing in the loul while the
iTes vi the body shoulder or starYe for
fuel. A loom in the tenement-house
means a cell with freedom, tho only lux
uTy Of which the inmate can Toast, for
there is neither window nor light, yenti-
!atiou nor convenience; perhaps her in

the sawdust and at the round tables of

chambers of society know her by the vel
lowish pallor of her face, and 10 the
casual locker the scent of the wet brown

colors in her clothes, viii! always betray
her.
The indiscriminate association of the
sexes i'll the shops where young girls and
men from the dress of European and
American society work side by side is
very general, and the outcome at best is
a lHXity of behavior. Open violations
of conduct are Iare, but the. insults

yesterday for the first time in Now York,
The question of an educational exhibit at
tho Worlds Fair camo up, and various
suggestions were made us to the character
of such an exhibit. There is no reason
why this point should admit of such
divergence Of opinion as education itself.
The object of such an exhibit is TO show
what means the country employs TO
educate its citizens. Studies, school
houses. hygiene in schools, methods in
teaching. what are the conditions of
school education on children of different
ages and the like are the points which
should be brought ont.
How this exhibit can be hest exhibited
