HORSE CARS, ALSO.
Gable Cars Not Alone Lacking il
Ordinary Accommodations.
Demand that the Slower Vehicle
Service Shall Be Improved.
A Few Observations on the Discom-
forts of Compulsory Victims.

While attention has been to a great
extent directed to the cable railway
lines OF the city in The Evening
Worlds" fight for better travelling ac-
commodatlons for the public. they are
by no means the only offenders in this
respect
There is not a street-car line in the
city, and this includes all the cross
town lines, which does not pursue the
same system, so far as 1t is able to
do so, of overcrowding its cars, and CIV
ing the least possible accommodation TO
the public. The putting on of extra
cars is n thing not to be thought Of so
long as the ordinary run of traffic can
be taken care OF with those operated
on the regular schedule time.
This is the case with the Second ave-
nue., Sixth avenue, Eighth avenue,
Grand street, Fourteenth street and
Twenty-third street cross-town lines,
the Boulevard cars and the Belt line.
Every morning and evening the cars on
those lines are packed to their utmost
limit, and whenever passengers who
have secured places inside the car are
to be let Off a stop of several minutes
must be made while the front or rear
platform, whichever the case may be-
empties itself, and flnally. when the
passenger energies from the crush he
must regard himself as lucky If his
clothing has not been torn from his
back.
People who live up along the west
side in the vicinity of Riverside Drive
have a special grievance against the
Boulevard line for this reason. The
cars themselves are uncomfortably
small, ill-smelling and dirty. and when
they are jammed full of people on a
hot, stuffy evening. or during a rain
storm, like that of the past week. they
offer the most wretched accommoda-
lions to the traveller imagina BILE.
Thousands of people are fairly com
PEELED to use these cars to reach their
homes, because the elevated stations in
that portion of the city are far apart, and
so far east that to patronize them would
necessitate long tramp. They find 1t
much more convenient and less tedious
to take the Boulevard cars for Forty
second street-that Is, those who have
occasion to travel during the middle of
the day. but when the rush hours come
it is very problematical IL those ad-
vantageS are secured.
The cars are run at such long in
tervals that 1t rarely happens that two
are in sight at the same time. and the
chance of getting a seat in one of them
at such times is practically nil.

POT HUNTING IN ALASKA.
Fish Commissioner Murray Fenrs

DENVER. Col, Sept. 2l."-Joseph Muir
ray, Fish Commissioner for Alaska, who
has just returned from a trip to that
country with Assistant Secretary Ham
lin, OF the Treasury Department, In an
interview says:
UNLESS some steps are taken there
will shortly be no fur-bearng animals in
Alaska. The Adventures who flock in
there are rapidly extermnating the ami
mails, and the companies who are can
ming salmon are no better. The laws
need enforcement and the Government
should have plenty of agents there to see

800 to 5000 A party goes on an island

skinned and a stake is made. The car

short time there Is not a fox on the
island.
The seal fisheries are fast playing out.
Five years ago there was no trouble in
getting 100000 skins, This year, though
allowed to take 5000. the Company only
got about 5000. The salmon fisheries
spread their nets In the mouth OF
rivers, up which the fish endeavor to
ascend in order to'spawn. Every enc is
taken out, and as a result there are nc
young fish. Unless something is done

A REAL UNION.

The politicians are of course opposed
to the Committee OF Seventy. They can
not attack the character OF Its members,
who are among the most prominent or
our business men, and so they resort
IN ridicule to belittle their work. They
ask how many of the Committee want
office, and they assert that at least
twenty Of the Seventy will go to the
polls, provided election day is fine and
there is no crowding at the ballot-box.
This Is all nonsense. 1t Is not likely
that any member of the Committee will
be named for office. and the whole sew
enty will doubtless register and vote.
II the Republicans and all the smaller
anti-Tammany organizations, like the
Good Government Clubs, the Grace
Democracy, the O'Brien Democracy and
the Steckler Democracy, should unite
with the Committee Of Seventy and
agree on single opposition local ticket
headed by such a candidate as the peo-
Pile would at once and unhesitatingly
indorse, the result would not be in
doubt. Tammany would be expelled
from power in the city.
Neither the Seventy, the Republicans.
| the Good Government Clubs, the Grace
men nor any other member of the com
bination ought to undertake to put a
ticket In the field on It's own account.
The ticket must be one agreed on by all
in conference, submitted TO the people
and approved by them and by the indie
pendent press. None other can win.

"OLD GLORY"

The small boys in the gallery OF the
Columbus Theatre last night shouted
themselves hoarse with enthusiasm at
the heroics OF "Old Glory" which is
described as "a story OF our bluejackets
in Chilli" rewritten and adapted from
the original OF Messrs. Petit and Mer-
rift by Charles T. Vincent and William
A. Brady. There Is quite medley OF
names connected with the play, but
they are quite unnecessary. "Old Glory"
is merely the good old, old thing done
up as new, with specialties.
The principal act takes place in Chill,
where the hero and the heroine and the
soubrette and the villain all go. |

was selected, but l rather imagine that

who stood on the Valparaiso plaza, had

brave boy, and the curtain went down

Why was the villain villainous? Why
are villains ever villainous? 1t Is their
duty. Theirs is not to reason why. In
this particular case the villain loved the
heroine. and she could never be his
She despised him. and why he per-

the key OF a private drawer and told
him to take out some money to pay an
account. Just as he was opening the
drawer, obedient to his employers COM
mand, the villain came In with a po-
liceman and had him arrested. Isn't
that neat, but not subtle?
"Old Glory has a soubrette who is
discovered busting an office in a low
neck dress, and later dancing In the
streets Of Chill clad in equally decollette
garbs. She was Louise Montrose. and
she sang a song with John A. Coleman

astonished Chilians were also treated to

1T WAS A WIMAN BOOM.
Why the Fare on the Staten Island
Ferry Was Not Reduced.

The reason why the petition Of Eras-
tus Wiman for reduction Of fare on
the Staten Island Ferry to and from
st. George from ten to five cents was
rejected by the Sinking Fund Commits
sion is because the Commissioners be-
lieved that Erastus Wiman and other
promoters were trying to build up an
unimproved part OF Staten Island at the
expense Of the city OF New York. An
other reason for refusing the request
was that not a single resident Of St.
George signed the petition.
The revenue of New York City, which
is now IA "a per cent, OF the gross in
come OF the Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit Company. would be considerably
reduced by cutting down the fare. II
would be loss to the city and a gain
to the promoters, who are interested In
an electric railway which Erastus WI
man and others want to build in order
to boom property along the line. The
people who use the ferry to st. George
are mostly residents of Richmond Coun-
ty, and New Workers would not be bene-
fitted in any way by the reduction.

Another explained his presence In such a

Or. Depew laughed when these ideas
were suggested to him. He explained
that there was neither poetry nor poll
tics in his visit. The president OF the
New York Central Railroad has great
faith in country graVeyards as real
