Increased facilities must be provided as
a city grows, not only by extending the ex-
listing lines into the suburbs-as that often
merely extends the distance which the long
rider must be carried, without easing
the revenue, on the contrary rather reduce
Ing it-but by providing more cars moving
at greater velocity. that the additional pop
ulation may reach the business centers in
the same time and with as great convent
ence as in the earlier days when the city
was smaller. else its circulation will be re-
stricted and it's growth be retarded.
No more striking instance of this is
known to the writer than that existing in
Philadelphia. where for q score Of years
past 1t has been the privilege Of the sterner
sex to buy strap privilege in a street
car or standing room outside, or else ac-
cept the alternative and walk. In the
mornings and evenings the intermediate
corners OF streets between termini will
show many weary forms waiting for an
opportunity to obtain even a foothold upon
passing car, and often in vain. Thou
sands Of people are obliged to walk because
they cannot ride and yet the surface roads
appear to be opposed to the granting OF any
additional facilities, for fear of loss Of
revenue.
1t is not a case Of division Of patronage,
but of Increased revenue. because OF the
facility which a rapid transit system would
afford them for filing and emptying their
overcrowded cars more than once in a trip
by getting rid Of the 'long riders and sub
shutting the short ones. thus bringing
"grist to their MILL" as may be readily
shown by experience wherever 1t has been
tried. and for manifest reasons
The new system will also derive d hand
some profit from the patronage Of the many
persons who are now obliged to walk, in
consequence OF their inability even to enter
the insufficient cars provided at certain
hours OF the day when the travel is heayi-
est.

there was silence. to the great amusement
Of the galleries.
Later Mr.. Hill ventured to ask his neigh
Dor question. which. to the legal minds
of the Senate. answered itself.
Let me put to the Senator this question
II when the first Congress convened the
Senate had adopted a code of rules which
provided that the rules should not there
after be changed without the consent of
two-thirds of the Senate, would those rules
have been constitutional? I can ask ques-
tions. Will the Senator answer them"
Thee was a dead silence. Mr.: Hill stood

ing painful: This was deadlock in truth.
Then Mr.. Hill turned and bowed profoundly
and Mr.. Daniel, not to be outdone in polite
ness. did the same. There was danger that
.heir heads would meet in mid-air. A light
broke In on Mr.. Daniel. and he said:
Undoubtedly will answer, but did not
like to interrupt the Senator while he was
on his feet. 1 can not only answer the ques-
ton. but can be courteous"
A shiver ran through the vast crowd in
the galleries. for there was an old-fashioned
sting In the words. Mr.. Hills answer was

He argued that there was q permanent

Done In the way that the minority wanted
And 30 the great question which the Amer

plauseo A caucus meant a meeting to
nominate officers. A conference meant a
meeting to settle difficulties. He would not
go into caucus. but he would go into a
conference. to see whether something could
not be agreed upon by which the great
nightmare might be dispelled." He had
been rebuked by the Senator from Alabama
(Mr Morgan) because he had said that
he would not vote for any amendment to

A COLD WINTER PROMISED.
Weather Prophet Cushman Give
Reasons for Beheving So.

weather Prophet Cushman Gives
Reasons for Believing So.
Loren Cushman. an aged farmer of Ply
mouth. Chenango county. N. Y. has quite
reputation as a reliable weather prophet,
and whenever he makes a Representation
his friends and acquaintances regard it as
worthy of credence. Mr.. Cushman believes
the coming winter will be an unusually
severe one. and bases his opinion on the
following grounds: First, the husks on corn
are much thicker than usual, and of a
deep orange tint, instead Of q light lemon
hue.
Second. the hogs melt runs jagged, in
stead of smooth.
Third. the goose bone taken from a
May-raised fowl shows larger and whittier
spots than customary. which resemble the
canals of Mars.
Fourth. the crop of nuts Of all kinds is
immense and the squirrels and chipmunks
are laying in prodigious stores early in the
season.
Fifth, the cartridges and woodcock are
lighting in barns and outhouses, instead of
trees, and ducks are flying in U-shaped, in
stead Of V-shaped, focks toward the south.
Sixth. the green frogs are changing their
skins and are even now seeking cool wells
and springs for their winter quarters.
Mr.. Cushman believes the coming winter
will be the most severe this country has ex-
perienced since the winter Of 1888.

No more curious illustration Of what IL
known a. Senatorial courtesy could be
had than that conveyed by a slight episode
In the debate of yesterday afternoon. when
Senators Daniel and HILL who sit at adioin-
ing desks, were plying each other with ques-
lions. These two statesmen are in peculiar
relations. Mr.. Daniel Is an original Hill
man. He attended the democratic conven-
ton Of 1892 and spent several sleepless
nights in the vain effort to nominate Mr..
Hill for the presidency. Since then. how
ever, the two statesmen have drifted apart,
and are today on rather strained terms.
Their seats adjoin on the rear row CT the
democratic side. but there is little cordial
communication between them.
Yesterday Mr.. Daniel sought Mr. Mills
out to ask him q question about the ex-
pediency Of a democratic caucus. and not
receiving reply, said: Il can ask ques-
tons Of others. but can not answerw He

Y. M. C. A. CONVENTION.

Again the Y. NJ. G. A. of the State

from December LIST to the third. An en-
thusiastic spirit prevailed the sessions.
All pronounce the results of the gather
ing good. Spirits have been revived and
certainly better work can be done. The
burden of the report is progress. Fig
ures show this. The evening sessions
were held in the Music Hall which be-
longs to the Y. NJ. G. A. All others

building. Sessions were numerous, oc-
cupying nearly every hour of the day.
A number of prominent workers were

mittee; r. Ii. Shelton, State Secretary !;
Fl. NJ. Moon, Member of the Information
al Committee; Geo. J. ]. Estey, of Brat
tleboro; Geo. Il. Shaw, of Boston; L. II.
Root, formerly College Secretary of the
International Committee. The chief
public meeting was held Sunday even
ing. Enthusiasm ran high. More
money was raised for State and Interna-
tional work than was asked for; 1925
was the amount The spirit of the CON
vention was pleasing. 1t was pro-
nounced asuccess.
The meeting Sunday. will be at
