FOOTBALL AND PHONETICs.

This Is the great day when We knock
the stutfing out OF turkey and kick the
stutting out OF football. We do both eff
feCtivcly and artistically hut it must
appear to an innocent innOCuous and fog
hornless on-looker that We put entirely
too much noise into the Thanksgiving
game-the football one, OF course.
1t may be that noise Is necessary to
the sport, and that the more Chromatic
scale there is to the five yards the better
the elevens play. If that Is the case, 1t
might be argued that the noise could be
regulated so that It's force would not be
lost. but every square ounce Of phonetic
pressure would exert its proper influence
at the proper time. Each college could
have its noisometer and emit its yells
just when and where they would do
most good. Then Yale wouldn't be
splitting Its throat when Princeton was
| scoring a touchdown. and Princeton
wouldn't be shrieking the cur!s off its
chrysanthemums when Yale was going
through its left end for punt or some
thing of that sort
Well-regulated noise might help the
players some, but we don't think il
would suit the crowd. A football multi
tude must be turbulent, or 1t can't enjoy
itself. Regulated noise would meet the
| ideas all right Of those who believe in
| the conservation OF forces, but it would
be as bad as no noise at all on a football
ground. Imagine 10000 deaf mutes look
ing on at a game.

THE CITY's HORSES.

The taxpayers OF the city have been
not a little exercised over the heavy and
constantly increasing cost of the street.
cleaning business. But so anxious are
the people to secure clean streets and SO
much have their hopes been disappointed
that 1t has been idle to protest against
the extravaganza OF the appropriations.
THE Evening World" has brought to
light facts which may In some measure
account for the large expenditures of the
Department in the past and the small
return the city has received.
When Commissioner Andrews took
Office he found the appropriations nearly
exhausted and deficiencies existing. 1t
Is now discovered that in i've months.
March to July inclusive. two hundred and
sixty horses were purchased for the use
OF the Department, at n cosl of siXty-five
thousand dollars. which could have been
bought by any Other customer for thirty
six thousand dollars. thus plundering the
city in this one item Of about thirty thou
sand dollars.
There does not seem to be any doubt
OF the fact that the firm of which the
horses were purchased have offered the
same sort of horses that were sold to the
city at two hundred and fifty dollars a
head TO outside parties at from one hun
dred and twenty-five TO one hundred and
forty-two dollars and a half per head.
1t is singular that at the moment this
seeming dishonesty Is exposed a white
washing report of the Commissioners OF
Accounts Of the STRENGTHENING Depart

has been brought to light.

To the Editor:
My advice to Conductor" who is in love with
certain young lady that will not marry him
unless he gives up his position horse-car con-
ductor. Is to give her up at once. and thank his
stars that he has rid himself OF a senseless NOR
tai who. in all probability, would be a burden
instead OF a helpmeet to him for the balance OF
his life. Any young lady with as little sense as
she evidently shows deserves to be left on the
shelf Try again, young man. and rest easy In
the fact that among the conductors in New York
City are a great many good. honest fellows, like
yourself, who feel proud OF their positions. and
Justly so. stick to your car until you can do
better and let this creature with the high strung
