LIVING PICTURES THE RAGE.
One That We Meet Every Day.


For months past the papers have been
fairly alive with criticism OF the beauti-
full living pictures, which are now so
much the rage at many Of our theatres.
Some Of these criticisms have been ad-
verse. Ringing principally on the question
OF morals. but the majority have been
favorable, and the pictures are here to
stay. enjoying an immense popularity.
But step outside the theatre into the
still night and think a minute Where,
In all your theatre-going, can you find a
living picture which embodies such
strength and enterprise as the Cowper-
thwait Furniture and Carpet business, on
Park Row near Chatham Square? And
what shall We say of its popularity when
We daily observe the throngs of buyers
in all parts Of the big stores, or watch
the happy faces which emerge from the
office?
This long established firm has earned
for itself an enviable record by selling
good goods; for In all it's transactions
down through eighty-seven years of
steady business, there Is not even a sus-
picion of a tarnish. This fact, In Itself.
Is the best guarantee OF satisfactory
treatment which buyers could have. A
visit will convince you. -

GAIN BECETS GREED.
Increased Profits Means De-
creased Accommodations.
Such, at Least, Is the Case with
Surface Car Lines.

ished in London.

That the passenger traffic ON the street
railway lines is rapidly increasing year
by year is shown by the annual re-
ports of the companies. THE Evening
World" has already pointed out what
an enormous increase has taken place
in the number of passengers carried by
the Broadway cable and other roads
controlled by the Metropolitan Traction
syndicate during the past few years.
In the case of those lines the annual
growth of the traffic has gone away up
into the millions, which is not surpris-
ing when the rapidly growing popula-
ton of the uptown districts and the
fact that the syndicate is now operating
between sixty and seventy miles Of
track are taken into consideration.
1t has also been shown that this new
business has been a source Of immense
profit to the syndicate, and that Its in
creased revenue must be far in excess
of the legitimate returns upon the new
capital that has been invested In the
several properties controlled by the
Company. The improvements which
have been made looking towards the
better accommodation of the travelling
public have been comparatively few.
and not at all commensurate with the
demands of the increased traffic. as the
daily overcrowding of the cars album
dainty proves.
The same is true with regard to other

refined wedding Cake.

An English gentleman residing i'll
Calcutta brought an action against a
firm of Paris pastry cooks and confec-
TONERS under rather interesting circum-
stances. The plaintiff was about to be
married and ordered what has been call
ed q phenomenal wedding cake from
the defendants. A sum of $3.50 was
paid down for the cake on delivery.
The colossal and expensive article of
confectionery was packed by the plain
tiff's order, and he took it with him to
Calcutta. On opening the case contain
ing the cake when he arrived in India,
the Englishman found that he had lit
orally nothing but shapeless mass OF
crumbs. The splendid gateau had been
bopelessly bruised and broken during
the voyage.
An action was then brought against
the Paris firm for a sum OF $135, which
included, besides the price paid for the
cake, the cost of packing and transport.
The defendants maintained before the
Paris tribunal of commerce that they
had no moro responsibility after they
had delivered over the cake to the per-
son who ordered It, II was true that
they recommended packer, but that
expert acted under the orders of another
individual, who had been selected by the
plaintiff to superintend the operation.

Recent discoveries in Egypt and Chal-
dea indicate that, although the monu-
ments there carry us back about 8, 900
years before the Christian era, they do
not constitute the limit of our sources
of history. They indicate the origin OF
these people to have been in western
Persia. Kurdistan and Luristan show
more ancient remains than have been
studied in any part of the world. The
old Babylonian civilization and Chinese
civilization both come probably from
this region, and it may yet yield us
knowledge of times far earlier than any
that we know of.--Chicago Tribune.
