From his position as mechanical edi-

watch OF the weekly progress of the
world in the whole field OF mechanical

as 10 the most important Industrial
achievement Of the year.
There is no doubt" said Mr.. Burr.
that Thomas A. Edison has shown us
the greatest Industrial achievement in
the great ore concentrating plant which
he has put in operation at Edison. n.
J. 1t is clearly the greatest happening
of the year in the field of metallurgy.
l think. too, that the enthusiasm and
wonderful ingenuity that Mr. Edison
fore him is bound 10 make his project
success. Certainly Mr.. Edison has the
courage of his convictions, for he has
spent his own money without stint on
the scheme AID has built up a great
plant in the Jersey hills.

MIS-. John Sberuond

When Mrs. John Sherwood, the we'll
known writer and authority on social
affairs, was questioned as to the great
est social triumph of the past wear,
she said:
IF one must point out a single social
event and say that it was the most
important Of the whole year INK
there IS very little doubt that the
costume ball given at the Hotel Wal
dorf ii February last by Mr. and Mrs
Bradley Martin must be one select
ed. That was certainly the most dis
cussed, the most written about, the
most praised, and the most abused of
any social affair of the decade if not
OF all time. But that is not its oalv
claim TO lasting remembrance, for it
may accurately be looked upon as
opening the door to an era Of more
extensive, more elaborate and more
costly entertainments than any we
have seen heretofore. On its merits
as a social event the Bradley Martin
bail is entitled to a place of present.
nence that shall cause 1t TO be looked
back upon and referred to for many a
year 10 come. It was a unique idea.

were for so long a time predominant i'm
old New York.
Nowadays, holiday drinks are no
longer very popular in New York The
Germans and Americans, who
are the steadiest customers Of saloons,
drink beer on holidays as at other
times. Many of those who at other
times drink beer, take to ale tsome-
times ale with pepper in it,, when the
weather gets cold. The American par
TALLY for straight whisky withstands
any outside adventitious allurement Of
holiday drinks, and should the weather
be cold, hot rum, or not Irish or Scotch
whisky is popularity accepted as a fair
substitute for either eggnOg or brandy
punch.
The saloons, it is true, are still dec
GRATED with holiday green's, but it is
the cheaper fir instead OF the red-ber-
ried holly that is seen. A new and by
no means picturesque feature of the
celebration is the man who ornaments
the looking glass Of the saloon with
illustrations drawn in soap. In many
saloons the holiday drinks are no
longer a source of profit for these are
the drinks that are given away
whisky in original packages. Some
saloons close on New Years day to
spare the owners generosity.

Rev. Lvman Abhott.

Rev. Lyman Abbott, speaking on the
same subject, said:
The church congress held in London
last March was imposing in its great
ness. 1t included al the Protestant or
ganiZations in the United Kingdom ex-
cept the establishment. and represented
some 100000 church members. The

New York, Dec. 22.-''Whereas, ex-
perience has taught us that on New
Years days and on May days. from the
firing of guns, the planting of May
poles, and drunken drinking, there have
resulted unnecessary waste of powder
and much intoxication, with bad prac-
tees and accidents that generally arise
therefrom; therefore, we expressly for
bid on New Years and May days any
firing, or planting of May-poles, or
beating of the drum; nor shall there
be at those times any wines, brandy or
beers dealt out"
This was the proclamation issued by
Peter Stuyvesant, New York's first
mayor, and it's a long journey in time
from that obstinate old Dutchman to
equity Mayor Strong, the last of the
line.
Old Peter Stuyvesant lies in st.
Marks Place, right near the Bowery,
and if noise can wake the dead, there
are those who live in the hope that
the one-legged hero of Dutch colonial
days will assist at the funeral of
Greater New York on the night of Dec.

if the noises that will announce both
of these facts to the world, could be
concentrated into one long blast, it

would stretch the full length Of

Chauncey Depew could master it.
The wake of old New York will live

Grace will ring more tuneful than ever,

Chauncey Depew.

The most important event of the
year, repeated DR.. Chauncey DepeW,

{. md Central station to catch the
train on the great railway system,
over which he DreSideS. That's q
rather large order to fill offhand. AS 1

as to overshadow all others. Still 1897

think, too. that the answer to the
question depends largely on the point
o. view
IF one were to judge the Importance
of an event by the amount of space
devoted to it in the newspapers we'd
have to award Klondike first place, but
in spite of its great promise of treasure
il viii probably have less real influence
on the progress of the world than some
other events less widely heralded. To
New Workers the completion of the
consolidation scheme which makes
them citizens OF the second largest city
in the world was an important occur
renee, and no doubt to the Tammany
politicians who are looking for Office
the recent election in this city was the
biggest thing that has happened in the
past few years. AS L said before, it all
depends on the point of view. The
world is SO large nowadays, and each
part Of it is SO much taken up with
its own affairs, that it takes a mighty
big event to attract any lasting atten-
ton from all parts of it.
when ! attended the celebration of
the queens jubilee last summer, that
seemed by all odds the biggest thing in
sight, and l think that, perhaps, both
from its spectacular interest and its
material Importance, it may be reck-
oned the most significant event of the
! twelvemonth. It served not only to dis
play the greatness to which England
has risen in this, her most prosperous
reign, but it was a sort of condensed
exposition Of the wonderful achieve
ments OF the Anglo Saxon race in the
past so years, during which they have
become the worlds leaders in every
! field of human activity.
after all, I don't know that there
has been anything more important to
the seventy-odd million Americans
who occupy no small slice of the world
today than the return of material pros
! perity that has come about with album
/ dant harvests, the settlement of the
! tariff. question, and the beginning of q
new era Of national greatness, under
| the administration of President McKin-

square miles, overlapping even London
in extent of territory. It's population,
if stretched out in one long line, would
reach from the city hall to the suburbs
of Chicago. 1t will have 5000 miles of
streets and 800 miles of splendid water
front. 1t will have within its borders
1000 miles of street railway 351 public
schools, % colleges, 250 private schools,
1,150 churches and a public park area
of 1000 acres.
Such, in brief, is what the Greater
New York will be when the midnight
hour has struck on Dec. 81, 1897. But
what it will be in a, few years hence is
a matter of most interesting conjec-
ture- The most important of all the
great bridges that have been planned
and on which construction has been
commenced is that which it is proposed
to build across the North river. This
bridge is designed to bring passengers
on the trunk lines from the west di-
rectly on to Manhattan island. The
bill providing for its construction was
approved by President Cleveland in
1884. Since then capitalists have been
: busy negotiating for funds for the con-
struction of this enormous work. While
no work of construction has been done
yet worth speaking of, the promoters
of the enterprise hope to get right
down to business next spring.
The public work which promises to
add most to the glory and prosperity
of New York, however, is the proposed
rapid transit system to run north and
south through the boroughs of Man
haitian and Bronx This is a public
work which the people have been plan
ming for ten years back. Laws have
been framed which provide for the
construction of this road, or, rather,
this system of roads, at the expense of
the municipality. They will be mainly
underground in the borough of Man
haitian. Through the borough of Bronx
the tracks will run on elevated and
giaduct structures.
1t will be but matter of a year or
TWO when visitors to New York will
notice the absence of United States
mail wagons on the public streets. SO
far as the borough of Manhattan is
concerned. A corporation, patronized
by the government, is now establish
ing a pneumatic tube system for the
transferring of all mail matter or
Manhattan island. The system has al
ready been thoroughly tested and is a
f success.

Charles Henry Hart.

In my opinion, the greatest artistic
achievement of the year 1897 belongs,
as it appropriately should belong, to
the domain Of the mother of all art
architecture-and its general signifi
canoe and augury are that it belongs
not to the old world, but to the new.
It is hardly necessary to say, after this,
that l consider the completion and OPP
ening of the building, in the capital Of
the country, erected for the library of
congress, as the crowning art event of
the year. 1t is not only a. monument
to American art, but it is a monument
to the wisdom of our legislators, of
which they have a just right to be
proud, evidencing, as it does their self
denial in sacrificing their immutable
taste and abstract knowledge of art to
a master mind, and leaving the work,
as it should always be left, to one who
knew how to do what came to his hand
to. Go.
For splendor and magnificence it
stands alone in this hemisphere, and
VIII not suffer in comparison with like
buildings in the other half of the globe.
The one quality it seems most to lack
is one depending wholly upon individ-
ual opinion and the point of view. Does
it in form, construction and embelhsh-
ment reveal its meaning and purpose?
For architecture is a living language,
and must speak for itself It tells US as
much oe Greece as Homer tells and of
the middle ages, more than has been
expressed in literature The sump-
tuousness of the building and brilliancy
of its coloring seem hardly in unison
with the repose and gravity of the lore
it is destined to conserve But apart
from this. its directness and homogen-
city in structure and in decoration
mark It as one of the great architec-
tural monuments of the world, while
the method of its accomplishment is q
teaching to the whole peopIe-Go thou

S. S. Mcclure.

The editor of McClure's Magazine
was asked what he thought was the
most important literary event Of 1897.
Mr. Mcclure said:
Il regard the most important literary
event OF the year rhe publication of
Kipling's -Recessional.' And one of the
most remarkable things about that
poem was its universal and sudden &C
ceptance by the world at large as being
a great poem. This might be consider
ed as something against its perma-
nence, as It usually is the case that a
masterpiece is not recognized at once.
The choice Of language and phraseology
made this message to the world in
stantly and universally comprehensive,
Some of the most important phrases of
the poem are universally familiar to
the people, on account of their use in
the Psalms of David.
Il Think, of all the publications that
have been made this year, this is the
one that will endure the longest in lit

programme having been arranged in
honor of the great sun that viii shine
on the new city. Judge Van Wyck will
assume the reins of government, hav-
ing already taken the oath of Office, as
have all the other newly-elected Of
ficials, and the usual hand shaking
congratulatory and floral offering will
follow. But in the residential part OF
the city it win be as quiet as on Sun
day. The custom of New Years call
ing has long since gone out and in it's
place we have especially fine afternoon
religious services, to which all SWELL
dom goes, after it has looked after it's
pet charity.
OF course, the saloons will do the
usual thriving business, but not as Of
old. Formerly, New Y FORK saloons Of
the better grade made preparations for
the holiday trade. as it is called. and
the doors and windows of saloons were
draped with holly. and at the further
end of the bar was always to be seen
the huge china punch bowl which at
tracted convivial spirits as a beehive
attracts flies. This form of holiday
celebration had, of course, its origin in
England. though interspersed some
what with the Dutch notions which
