A MULISH BOARD.

The Park Board yesterday again left
over the subject of landscape archi-
tect for the Speedway. Letters were
received from II number of applicants
for the position. and President Clausen
said the Commissioners wanted time to
examine the applications.
Why Is II that the Park Commits
soners display such dogged obstlnacy
in fighting public sentiment and the
well-known wishes OF the people In re-
spect to this Speedway? Is there job
concealed in the matter with which n
landscape architect might interfere?
or Is the action of the Board due to
mere stubbornness and stupidity
The idea of dispensing with the services
of a landscape architect was mere bar
barism. II there had been an honest
desire to secure a capable man there
would have been no occasion to invite
applications. The Board will need
watching closely to see that the con-
cession forced from them Is not made
worthless by the employment OF per-
son as incapable OF doing good work as
the Commissioners are OF appreciating 1t.

THE TIGER tanned FOR ONCE.

1t is another evidence Of Senator Hills
bravery that he has dehed Tammany
and thwarted its attempt to prevent
the printing OF the names Of the regu-
lar Democratic candidates for State
offices at the head OF the State Democ-
racys local ticket.
Every good citizen will wish that so
courageous an act might result in an
increased vote for Hill, but the prospect
of such a result is scarcely encouraging.
The party machinery. and to n
great extent the election machn-
cry, in this city Is entirely
in the hands of Tammany Hall.
For every vote that Hill gains by hav-
ing ms name on the State Democracy
ticket, Tammany will see that he loses
two other votes TO which he would be
Justly entitled. BY crooked pastors.
served out from Tammany booths, by
fraudulent counting In precincts where
Tammany controls the boards, by trades
with Republicans and by other devices
familiar to such adopts in electoral
manipulation as Tammany's district
captains, Tammany will see that Hil's
defiance OF its will Is amply avenged.
Probably Senator Hill is fully aware
of this, and took the action he did know
ing it. II SO. so much the more credit
to his pluck.
He Will have. at any rate, the salts
faction of knowing that for once the
Tammany tiger has met its master, and
for the political lion tanner, the triumph
of having once cowed that rampant
beast is, at least, Il partial recompense

quently eaten by 1t.

Birds on the Face of the Moon.

To the Editor:
Last night (oct 81 about o'clock, while view
ing the moon through a telescope. noticed small
dark objects dart apparently across the face OF
the moon at Intervals OF few seconds. After
assuring myself that It was not imagination nor
an insect upon the object glass. the telescope
was again trained upon the moon. and when
fully adjusted could clearly make out the forms
OF birds OF different species distinctly silhouetted
across the face Of the moon. The fitting of one
kind of bird seemed very much like that of a
robin while the movements Of others were stead
Ter, like that of water fowl, and in one general
direction, from north to south. This would indi-
cate that they were migratory birds on their way
south for the Winter As the telescope was
trained at an angle of IS degrees. and the birds
were out Of range Of smaller glass. with q range
OF Ave miles, 1t is apparent that they were ny-

Wives Have the Best of 1t.

To the Editor:
Separations and divorces lamentably on the
increase. The causes are various. but 1t seems
to me that the root Of the evil lies in the fact
that the wife has all the advantage. I am no
cynic but from my personal observations can
safely say that there are thousands OF husbands
in this city alone who would give anything to
be single again. Whyf Because the absurd
customs OF our marriage institution make the
husband a martyr and a slave. He is the money
maker. the supporter OF the household and the
burden OF its cares and sorrows rest on his
shoulders. while he is working hard all day the
wife is at home free to do as she pleases II rne
desires to go out shopping with her mother she
can do so; II she wants to pay visits no one
will say her nay; II she wants to go to the
matinee there is no objection. On the other hand
when the husbands duties to his business cease
for the day his duty to his wife begins. After
coming home tired out, his wife demands that
he give his spare time to her. He may have
a desire to go out for a little recreation, to Zee
some friend to visit his club. or to have a
quiet game with the boys; but there is where
his better half steps In and demands that his
place is by her side" She forgets the fact
that she has had all the day to herself and that
her husband requires some recreation. too. This
Is the beginning OF the trouble.

At the Height OF Her Charms.

In reality, at thirty-fve a woman Is
still pausing at the height of her per-
sonal charm. She gained the height
perhaps seven or eight years before,
but IL she has been careful of herself,
has had small experience of sorrow and
pain and apprehension, has not had too
hard work for mind or body, has had
but little illness, has kept her temper
and spared herself worry, she has not
fairly begun the descent; or, If she has,
then there Is slightly pathetic charm

A LARGE REGISTRATION.

Yesterdays registration in this city
was not quite up to the standard of the
first day. Still 1t was far ahead of any
year. except 1892, for five years past.
1t fell nearly ten thousand behind 1892
but the total for the two days Is still
ahead of the last Presidential year.
The number is 2O2, ,749 this year, against
202. i97 in 1892
In Brooklyn the result Is similar.
While yesterdays registration fell a
little short of the second day OF 1892,
the total OF the two days is nearly two
thousand larger than in the Presiden-
tial year.
The result indicates great interest in
the election and a heavy vote.
