week. At the same time there has grown up an increased conservatism among most New York banks, leading them to place most of their money in the form of call loans, rather than time loans and discounts. If anything should drop the bankers will be in po- sition to place their cash where it will do the most good as quickly as possible.
 A wax figure wearing one of the lat est creations in the spring hat line drew me toward a Fifth avenue milli- ner's window today. The boise of the headpiece was the magnet, however It was tilted forward at an angle ap- proximating 45 degrees, and gave to the lifelike model real deviiish tone. The hat, built on sailor lines, was de- void of quill or plume, the bronze like straw only carrying a roll Of tulle and a couple of the new-fangled vel vet bows. The Easter parade promises to be of character calculated to draw ones mind from the harpists above to the angels below.
 Dead Mans Curve,' has been knocked out by a pliable grip, but New York still has it's death avenue" T
 Thirty-frst street and Tenth avenue,
 below that point, have been stained
 with human blood The heavy freight
 trains of the New York Central have crushed out twenty-seven lives in
 down town streets since 1884, and an
 other life was added to the gory rec
 ord today. Many armless and legless people, some of them children, can be o1n hn of hn congested quarter, pitiful sacrifices to the juggernautS of metropolitan traffic.
 The National Guard of the state of New York is now furnished with the l latest and most complete equipment used by any soldiery. It is a result of long study by militia officers and demonstrated by experience to be the best of it's kind. In heavy marching
 order this equipment weighs not more
 than thirty-fve pounds, and when in action is, of course, laid aside. In full it is as follows: A Merriam pack, haversack, canteen, web belt, mess kit, blanket, poncho and overcoat. The pack has been devised to do away with the old and cumbersome knapsack. The distribution of the new web cart ridge belts to the guard was begun to-
 day. Every regiment and separate company will be equipped with them
 as soon as possible. All this has noth- ing to do with the present activity in military and naval circles. as the changes noted have been under discus sion for some time.
 The women of New York have or ganized themselves into clubs for the study of art, of children, for the de- velopment of literature and the ad- vancement of philanthropy; clubs for women of the stage, political clubs
 suffrage clubs, class clubs, clubs for women of leisure, who desire to enjoy
 the pleasures of life a la man. In fact,
 nearly all kinds of clubs into which it is possible for women to form them selves have Judgement in the metrop- olis. One of the newest, however,
 is club of trained nurses. This
 unique institution has a house of it's ! own, where every opportunity is af- forded the members to develop the
 domestic side of their natures while waiting for a call. The Nurses club is now self sustaining. The usual re- mTneration of the nurses of this club is S25 week, but they will not refuse
 to attend an urgent case if the person
 desiring their services are too poor
 to pay for them. The club is popular
 with physicians on account of this ccmmendable feature of its constitu- tion.
 Visitors fiOcked to the monitor Ter TOT this beautiful day. The ugly look

 York. Early in the day the rush to Staten Island began The vessel lies
 just off St. George, and it is only a question of five minutes and fifty cents to reach the boat after you are once or the island. The large number of visitors made it field day for the local
 boatmen. It is estimated that fully 1,C00 persons visited the boat during the day, while five times as many peo- pie lineds the piers and were satisfied with looking at the fighting machine from distance. The incoming ves- sels dipped their flags in salute to the Terror, while the passengers sent up hearty shout. As on previous days, kodak fiends were in abundance. They took snapshots of William Terror, the goat mascot of the boat, and of the ten-inch guns, Beauty and the Beast and were favored by having number maligned monitors are just now the pets of a patriotic public
