Ing city n they an prevent It.
President Wilson says that the use OF
bituminous coal In the city has been
steadily increasing since 1879 until now
It has become an unbearab nuisance.
Ne finds that the companies using the
coal srch as the am-HeatinG Com
rany. the New York Central and Eud-
son River Railroad and others, profess
willingness to abate the nuisance. but
ray: "Show us how to do It, and we
will adopt such measures as you pro-

that those who create the nuisance must
find the means of correcting IL them

evils resulting from the use OF soft
coal must be stopped. or the Health
Department will proceed against those

A WELCOME IMPROVEMENT.

The Third Avenue Gable line. as far as
IL is In working order. had a formal and
a successful opening yesterday. The run
was made uptown. from the depot at
Sixty-hfth street. to One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth street, and downtown as
far as Cooper Union, where the passen-
gers were transferred to the horse cars.
There was some delay and confusion at
the Sixth street switch. But that was to
be expected. and the running OF the lin
lied number of cars. was, on the whole,
quite successful.
or course the convenience and comfort
Of the cable cars were at once apparent,
and were fully appreciated by the pas
sengers. When the line Is open through.
out the entire route. and the horse cars
are dispensed with. the full benefit OF
the change will be felt. But the expert
ment OF running on the Bowery remains
to be tried. although the managers of the
road express confidence In Its success.
The cable system has evidently come
to stay. and as the Broadway line proves
10 destined to be a great relief to crowd
cd thoroughfares as well as a comfort
and convenience to passengers.

POPE AND PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ Depew has been to
see the. Pope. The railroad magnate re-
ceived the rare honor OF private audi
ence. and his account OF the meeting
with the Ponur given to THE World"
Is OF much interest.
Naturally Mr.. Depew was embarrassed
as to the manner In which he ought to
bear himself when ushered into the
Pope's presence. He made inquiry as
TO what would be expected OF him, being
seemingly apprehensive that he would
be required 10 go through some cere-
mony which would not be agreeable to
him. But he was relieved by the infor-
nation that he could greet His Holiness
In the manner In which he would meet
the President OF the United States. 30
Mr.. Depew entered the audience cham
Der and shook the Pope's hand more
warmly perhaps. than he would have
shaken the hand OF Grover Cleveland.
