SUNDAY Opening in New York,

The managers of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art have been we'll satis-
fed with the demeanor of the multi
tudes of on! citizens who have visited II
upon the two Sundays in which it has
been open. The visitors have not only
been orderly, but they have also shown
more respect for each other. and more
courtesy Of manner than has been some
times observed in other crowded places.
1t has been evident that they were in
terested in the pictures, the statuary,
the relics and other things on display,
and that they enjoyed the opportunity
Of beholding them in their hours OF
leisure. The experience of two Sun
days has given proof that the managers
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
adopted wise policy in opening its
doors on Sundav-N Y Sun

THE BRIDGE u FREE.
Toll on the Great Brooklyn structure Nc
Longer Collected.

The penny toll system on the New
York and Brooklyn bridge died an easy
death at midnight. and select collec-
tion of the different varieties of the
genus ''crank" took part in the funeral
ceremonies There were the 'cranks'
who bought the last ticket, those who
got through first without paying, those
who got across first, and the disgruntled
''cranks" who got beaten altogether
About thirty men and boys waited al
the New York end and about forty Of
the Brooklyn end. The first man
through was a.large man with a red
face. who made better time than the
little sway back" but very breathless
and noisy boy disputed the honor with
him at the expense of all the buttons On
his coat A small sign with the werd
Free" was displayed at the Nes York
approach exactly at midnight, while the
Brooklyn approach was opened three
minutes later. This gave Henry r.
Van keureu, the greatest ticket agent
OF the bridge, who received the first
penny ever paid, the record of recei'
the last penny paid.
c. +. MOultOn received the last tYib-
ute of copper at the New York end.
James Brady, aroundsman, hung out
the sign, and Officials Farrell. Lidgate.
Moran and Harkins officiated as time
keepers and referees in the slight trOu-
bic which followed.
A wild looking young man with his
hair streaming in the breeze had the
doubtful honor of being the first man
across from the Brook YIN side and pite-
ously appealed TO the reporters to en-
roll his name and send it ringing down
the ages.
None of the six ticket takers will be
discharged, as they have all been pro-
vided with work in other bridge de-
partments. Almost 5000 people went
through the New York approach dur
ing the day and many bought tickets
for mementOes. Mr.. Van Keuren told
Tribune reporter that almost a mill
ion tickets were still outstanding.
Those who scrambled for first place
at the New York end had had a sub
stantial award in view besides mere
hollow glory, as they had heard that a
gold watch awaited the first man who
reached the Brooklyn end. but if the
watch were there it was very hard to
find and at l o'clock the disappointed
would be winner was still hunting after

A RIIlion-Dollar Country.

There is a great deal of condensed
meaning in what Secretary Foster said
in his informal speech at the union
league club Thursday night. Refer
ring to the democratic talk about the
'billion-dollar congress" he said;
They forget this is a billion-dollar
country" He meant that the country
is so large. its resources so vast, and Its
development and improvement OF SO
great importance that the people should
not begrudge any amount OF money
honestly spent by the government. II
is worth all the money it requires.
There is no cheaper form OF dema-
gogy than that which necessarily clam
ors for reduction of government ex.
penses or demands THAI they be held
down to the standard of '.the fathers.
