Wealth of Greater New York.


Within the limits of Greater New York
according TO the latest official declarations.
there are living upward If 3,,b0ooUo people.
There are only five states in the Union
which contain population of 3.o00.10.
Those five states are New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri.
Measured by population. therefore. Great
er New York has the Importance Of the
sixth state of the Union.
Now, place alongside that fact another
fact equally salient. Within the boundaries
of Greater New York there Is property OF
the assessed value of over s.. d.. oD.sO
There is not one state IN the Union, ex-
cept New York itself, whose assessed valu-
alton. by the census OF 1890, was equal
to s., 132. 100000. Not even the valuation OF
the populous and wealthy state of Pennsyl-
vania was on a par with That of the terri
tory embraced by our consolidated city.
Measured by wealth. therefore, Greater
New York has the Importance OF the first
state i'm the Union. for It's wealth exceeds
that Of any other state except New York.
and is by far the larger fraction OF the
total wealth of the empire state.
When they come to choose a mayor to
WELD the executive power OF their newly
created city the people OF Greater New
York must remember that for all practical
purposes they will be choosing the gov
ernor of the sixth state OF the Union In
point Of population and the first state OF
the Union in point of wealth.

A Woman Plano Tuner,

From the New York Tribune.
Miss Nellie Jay Hatch of Seneca. Kan.
travels around through the country and
tunes pianos. On graduation from the New
England Conservatory of Music in Boston
Miss Hatch received diploma in piano
tuning, and the course she took in order
to secure it was both thorough and com,
prehensive. She had to study harmony (
theory and vocal and instrumental music, |
besides famliarizing herself with the CON-
struction of the action of a piano She was
trained so carefully in this latter depart
ment that she is fully competent to regu-
late, adjust and even to make any of the
various parts. In the rudimentary work
which prepared her for tuning she had to
devote almost half year to the study Of
pitch in order TO learn to discern the right
and wrong tones. Next she devoted her
time to the distribution of Intervals
learning the difference in pitch between
two tones. II is claimed that the only way
to tune accurately is to give a certain num-
Der of beats to each interval, the only pure
intervals being the octaves and unisons.
After Miss Hatch looked into repairing,
regulating ard restraining. She was grad
uated in 1859 and since then she has trav-
eled throughout the state of Kansas ac-
lively engaged In her chosen profession
She is described an exceedingly hand
some, attractive young woman, and her
mother speaks of her as .'our travelling
man.

From the Springfield Republican.
There has been no little discussion of the
proper scansiOn of the lines which Mr.
Kipling. In his railroad story. ".Of," gives
as the song of a fast express at full speed
1t Is hard to fit the words to the movement
of a mile-a-minute train. Here is the song
try 1t when the next flyer passes You:

Yah!
En-zwei-drei- mutter. Yah! Yah! Yah!
She climb upon der shteeple
IND she Brighten all der people
Singin acknowledgment schtingal! Yah! Yah!
1t Is easy enough to read the lines
rhythmically. but the initiative effect is not
so clear. though it may be latent Should the
movement be fast or slow? Should the
Yah! yah! yah!' have rests between the
words? Should the two short lines be fast
err than the rest? 1t is a good study for
students Of elocution, but as a piece of on
omatopoetic work 1t Is not to be compared
with the creation of an elderly lady Of our
recollection. whose first experience of a
railroad was felicitously combined with the
excitement of a visit to the panorama in
Boston. AS she came home with her head
full OF the sights and sounds Of the city
this is the song Of the rail that greeted her
ear:

extra hardship on those who live by fish

Their life is hard enough at the best. and
it is not such very rare occurrence for a
schooner to go out and never be heard from
again. kiplng's recent book, Captains
Courageous" is considered here to be a
fairly truthful account of the daily routine
of fsherman's life on the Grand Banks
but some think it is rather too picturesque
and several years behind the times. Many
of the sailing masters and not a few of
the common sailors have made tidy little

built themselves pleasant cottages, but a

ton, with but one redeeming feature their

THE BABY'S PHOTOGRAPH.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t was George Edmonson who told
the story. A young mother came into
the Decker studio the other afternoon
"a week ago wednesday-to have the
photograph of her baby taken, fat
and dimpled little girl. Just as they
were about to pose the baby fell
asleep.
Don't wake her, said the artist,
''let her have her sleep out and we
can take some fine pictures of her
when she wakes up"
Every WE'LL" said the mother, 81
don't live so very far from here and L
will take the baby home and come
back when she wakes up"
In few hours she came back with
the merriest little youngster that Ed
monson had ever seen. The baby
cooed and chuckled and dug its tiny
fist into its mothers cheek and alto
gether the poses which were taken of
the two are among the best specimens
of child photography in town. Ed
mOnson took particular delight in de-
veloping two of the negatives of the
baby which were of surprising excel
lence.
How do you like them" said he to
the mother, who came to look at the
proofs on Thursday last.
Il like them ever so much" she re-
sponded, quietly, land, oh, am so
glad you took them. The baby died
yesterday"
