lard FOR THE POOR.

The finance committee of the associa-
ton for improving the condition of the
poor in Manhattan have found it hard
work the past winter to get the money.
Because II was called "a mild winter"
people appealed to seemed to disbelieve
the necessity Of help, and because the
country was Dragging of prosperity 1t
was assumed that everybody who want
ed to could get work. So this long es-
tablished and constantly active associa-
ton, the services of whose managers
are entirely voluntary, and whose ex-
penses are reduced to the lowest terms,
finds all it's contributions reduced in
amount The fact is charged to the ex-
traordinary number of outside demands
on the givers in New York city-Indian
famine, perhaps, for one matter; the
hospital ship Maine for another and 80
on. The applications for food, f"el.
rent and clothing, simply to help fanli-
lies from slipping into pauperism, have
numbered nearly 5000. Causes, sickness

RAPID TRANSIT.


An important episode-one may even
say an event-in the history of New
York city was inaugurated recently,
when the mayor of the city, officially
and symbolically, lifted with a silver
spade the first few handfuls of clay
taken from the ground in the initiation
of the tunnel system of rapid transit.
The need of better transit has been felt
in New York, 1t might be said, from "a
time whereof the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary" The need
however has been particularly press
ing one for the last quarter of a cen
fury, and for a decade prominent citi-
zens of New York have, as rapid tran
sit commissioners, been gradually
working toward a solution of the great
problem. Their labors have finally TAX
en- shape in the project of a tunnel or
underground system of transit, which
will bring the people of the great me-
tropolis of the western world within a
measurable distance of securing a SAT
isfactory system of transportation.
This will not be all at once for the
$35, 900 contract under which the tun-
mel system is to be built, covers only
the needs of the boroughs of Manhattan
and the Bronx. None the less, however,
we have seen the beginning of a system
which before long will take in all the
territory of the greater city, and even
sections lying without it. Already it
is announced on good authority that
within six or eight months work will
be begun on a tunnel connecting the
boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan,
and in time, without doubt, the same
means will be adopted of uniting other
parts of the greater city of Manhattan.
In a word, a beginning has been made
in the direction of completing the phys
ical unification of the metropolis by d
system which will make transit quick
and easy throughout a city covering
over 800 square miles and having a pop
ulation of g. 500, 00.-Bradstreet's
