DESCRIBES TWO KINDS Of BOSSES

DEPARTMENT.

The Rev. DIR. Charles II. Eaton delivered last
night the Church OF the Divine Paternity. Cen
traI Park West and Seventy -sixth-st. Of
series Of addresses on Young Men and Success in
q Great City" The special theme last night was
the part OF young men In the renovation or the
political condition of New-York.
DR. Eaton praised the school buildings. the pub

And yet Notwithstanding all this. in some re-
spects this city appears 10 oe ABOUT me worst gov

dishonest dollar. Such men become bosses because
they love leadership and fame. but they are the
most dangerous of all, for ordinary men DO not
look below the surface. Such bosses seem TO cut
loose from all standards of honor. They hold that
the end-success-iustihes the means. and they are

there can be no doubt that many boys and girls

city HONEY FOR CITY ART
AIR BARNEY WOULD HAVE AN APPRO-
PRIATION FOR THE COMMIS-
SION HE HEADS

charles Z. Barney, president of the Municipal
Az, Commission, thinks that the commission
,bould receive an appropriation of from S1O0O
"a 100000 a year from the city, in order to
,eautify public buildings and places. He ex-
-essed this opinion last night at his home at
10 lOl East Thirty-eighth-st.. in talking to a
tribune reporter about the proposed move to
a,ssolve the Municipal Art Society of which he
Is also the president
II think that Mr.. Kenyon Cox has stated well
q, the article in yesterdays Tribune all that is
,acessary to be said about the affairs of the
Municipal Art Society, and its proposed dissolu-
.on." said Mr.. Barney. The society will. I
.hiuk soon come to end. The reason the or
sanitation has not been able to complete many
decorations is, stated by Mr. Cox. that there
,s no general interest in art in cities like New
York Because Of this condition, we have not
teen able to awaken rich to contribute
money to help the organization carry out its
aims In cities like Chicago and Baltimore art
matters seem to gain more publicity, and this
publcity arouses interest in public decorations
Then the Baltimore Art Society is practically
ths Municipal Art Society and the Municipal
Art Commission OF this city rolled into one.
The function OF criticising decorations for pub
Nc buildings and places is carried out here by
tbe Municipal Art Commission, and this some
what limits the work of the Municipal Art
Society.
we have in this city some or the best sculp-
,ors In the world. st. Gaudens is Of them
md II is too bad that We have here few OF
his works If the Municipal Art Commission
received an appropriation Of 100000 or 100000

81 Gaudens: Now, there is $4,000 a year for
YOU for five years. Design for us some foun-
tajns to stand in the public squares like the
Piazza or design something else to beautfy

PERIL ON A GANGWAY.
L'A0UITAINE MOVES BACK WHEN PAS
SENGERS ARE DEBARKISG.

twenty years ago, when Superintendent West
was Killed by the breaking Of a passenger gang
way at the French Line pier Morton-st. and
North River, Charles West his son. on taking
his fathers place with the line had a gang
way built which he believed could not be broken.
He designed the cumbersome and unwieldy
AFFAIR that has since been used in the landing
OF ocean voyagers
The base of this gangway is two immense
metal beams, and practically all the gangway
save the footway is OF the strongest steel. The
saneway weighs many TONS and has to be
hoisteo INTO place by strong tackle. When the
steamship L'Aquitaine arrived from Havre with
eighty-two cabin passengers and was being
locked yesterday the big gangway nearly tore
away wooden structure on the French Line
pier superintendent Rene Japhet. when the
steamship had. as he supposed, been docked, saw
that the gangway hoisted and properly
made fast to the side of the vessel at the right
place. Then he boarded the steamship, and the
Decentralization of the cabin passengers began.
AS the passengers were landing the officers
sought to work the stern of the liner closer to
the outer part OF the pier by operating the
screws The steel hawser which held LAqui
tafne's bow slipped the cylinder of the for
ward winch, and the steamship, freed from the
strain, instantly began to back out of her berth.
More than a dozen of the passengers were
caught on the gangway. which was being
dragged with the vessel. and when warned Of
their danger some of them became bewildered.
All managed to get down to the pier before one
OF the grips holding the gangway to the side of
the boat torn off. The vessel not
checked until 1T had moved backward about ff-
teen feet or So
When LAquitaine worked back into her
place the ponderous gangway, badly strained,
