ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes on the Current of Life In the
Metropolis.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company has
agreed to pay the city Of New York the
sum Of $3.50, 200 for the privilege Of carry
ing its tracks in a tunnel under North
river, across Manhattan island, under East
river and into Brooklyn. Originally the
cost of the franchise was estimated at
1882, 500, but at q conference. of the city
officials and President Cassatt OF the Penn
sylvania company, last week, the revised
figures were submitted and accepted. This
sum represents the cost of the franchise
for twenty-five years, based on a rental
of so cents a foot for IS, 900 feet Of track
age each year for ten years, and 81 a foot
each year for fifteen years, together with
a rental Of 500 a year for twenty-five years
for maintaining its bore under the river.
The company must also pay for station
rights along the line and for the closing
Of West Thlrty-second street.
The street will be abandoned from Sew
enth to Eighth avenue, and from Eighth
to Ninth avenue, leaving Eighth avenue
open.
All the buildings along the line have
been bought by the railroad corporation.
For the grant of the right to close this
street the city will receive between 500, 900
and $500, 900. and additional sums will be
paid for ether station sites and Incidental
rights. The amount exacted by the city
in addition to the trackage rental is about
81, 100, 900.

The elevated places Of amusement are by
no means so we'll patronized as they were
a very few years ago, and last summer a
number of them were compelled to go out
Of business owing to a lack, OF patronage.
Aside from the unquestioned disrepute into
which the roof gardens fell, owing to the
drinking feature, which was the cause OF
so many unpleasant scenes, their gradual
efacement from the picture as contributory
sources of amusement IN New York during
the summer months has been considerably
fastened by the great Increase in the num-
Der Of well-cooled and well-conducted
~rsthskellars and music gardens.
There are literally dozens Of such places
in New York nowadays where no charge
is made for admission, where the cost OF
the reflections dispensed is extremely rea-
s~onable, and where actually good music
may be listened to by folk not In search OF
dissipation or anything Of the sort. Quite
a number OF the free concert gardens pro-
vide vaudeville bills in every way as pleas
ing and satisfactory as those given on
roofs where q charge Of 81 or 81 is made
for admission.

Blue-eyed Herman, the mayors boot
black" was back again shining shoes in
front Of the city hall after an absence Of
nearly a year, during which he won and
lost a fortune. His story of his poverty,
his rise and his tumble was told by him
in a shower OF tears.
Previous to last June he had been doing
business in City Hall park, and three or
four mayors were his steady patrons. Craps
was the foundation Of his fortune and
horse racing Its brittle walls. With a
capital Of SAC, which he had laboriously
accumulated, he won $500 one day in an
uptown gambling house, and the next day
he went to the race track.
During the first week" he said, 81 was
$4,000 to the good, and when the season
closed l had $500 o put away. During the
winter l made a few bets in the pool rooms
and lost them. l opened the season with
$4,000 cash. My luck changed in April,
and from that on everything I touched
went wrong. Last week sold my kit for
81 and put the dollar on a 20 to l shot, and
that was the last of a big fortune. Shine,
sir!'"

Nostalgia drives certain of the foreign
born residents Of New York to the Battery
Park sea-wall in the spring. Just as surely
as migratory instincts drive the birds from
their southern feeding grounds. On sunny
mornings such as these, says the Evening
Post, the long rows Of benches facing the
sea are full OF men and women with bright
head-dresses and gayly colored shawls,
watching the ships come in. They chat
animatedly, and their tanners are viva
cious. Their talk is OF home, Of Tuscan
hillsides, OF the vineyards, OF Cretan viii
lagos and OF the old Mediterranean cities.
At regular intervals when the boat from
Ellis Island brings its load OF newly ar
rived immigrants to the barge once there
is a rush OF the homesick ones to the edge
Of the sea-waii. The peasants on the boat
wave their hats or brilliant neckerchiefs.
and sometimes there is a call OF greeting
from across the water. Those who sit on
the benches do not go TO the park for the
clean, cool air. but to satisfy demands that
are aesthetic and psychological.

Helen stever Is D. ad.

Helen, the five year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto NJ. Stever, died at
her home last evening of brain trouble,
brought on, it is claimed, by blow on
the temple struck her April 20 by Carl
Woodland
The little girl and Leta Monroe, about
her own age, We're throwing shingles in
the creek at the Woodland ark on North
Shiawassee, when Carl, youngest son of
L. E. Woodland, ordered them off the
premises, at the same time, it is alleged
striking both girls. Helen afterwards
complained of having a pain in the
head where Carl struck me-"
She was taken seriously i'll Wednes-
day of last week, and had been delirious
nearly all the time since up to the time
of her death. Mr.. Woodland spared no
pains or expense in his endeavor to save
the child's life. Several local physicians,
DR.. John Weidman, of Buffalo, and DR..
Long, of the Ionia asylum for criminal
insane, are among those who saw her.
DR.. Long was here yesterday, returning
home last night. A trained nurse was
constantlyin attendance.
Carl is a quiet inoffensive boy, who
has always borne the reputation among
his schoolmates of being considerate of
those smaller and weaker Helen was
undoubtedly a delicate and nervous
child, and the blow which resulted in
her death might not have affected
another child.
The sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the afflicted family, and also
to that of Mr. Woodland.

Changes in the Teaching Force.

With the. acceptance of the superin-
tendency by Supt. j. w. Simmons and
the filing of the following positions but
single position, one of those in the
high school remains TO be filled.
Miss Maud Morrice has been engaged
by the school board TO take the place of
drawing teacher in the Owosso schools,
position made vacant by the declina-
ton of Miss Criswell to accept the place
for another year. Miss Criswell has
given quite remarkable satisfaction in
her work here and it was with the
greatest reluctance on the part of the
board that she succeeded in having her
resignation accepted by it. Miss Morrice
comes well recommended and has the
advantage of finding the work well
established and systematized.
Mrs. Martha Mason will be succeeded
in the Bryant school by her daughter,
Miss Mamie Mason. Miss Mason is Il
graduate of the city schools and of the
state normal at Ypsilanti She has
been teaching at Fennville during the
year just ending
A new teacher has been added for the
grade work at the Central school to re-
lieve the overcrowding there Miss
Maude Cole who is also Ypsilanti
graduate will have charge of the work.
She has been teaching at Dexter during
the present year.
Miss Kanagy who for a time seriously
contemplated leaving at the end of the
present year has finally decided to re-
main as special teacher of music for
another year This is a subject upon
which the schools are to be more than
ordinarily congratulated. The work of
Miss Kanagy has more than given
satisfaction and the progress of the
pupils of the public schools along
musical lines has been manifest in more
than one way. Miss Kanagy has sue
ceeded in doing splendid work in her
department.

Admiral William Thomas Sampson
has taken his case before the last court.
The gallant sailor fighter, on whom the
late martyred president and the country
depended in the spring and summer of
1898, passed away at his Washington
home Tuesday night. No man ever
lived who seemingly had greater claim
on all that fame could bring. No man
probably ever lived to whom all that
should have brought him fame brought
more of bitterness and humiliation.
The magnificent victory won by his
feet at Santiago should have surround
ed his head with a halo of glory
which would have lasted down the
ages. Because his own flagship was
barely beyond the firing line during the
engagement and because others We're
envious of the glory that belonged to the
commander and were not satisfied with
the glory which could scarcely escape
every officer and sailor in the fleet, all
the JOY of having commanded the vic
torious fleet was torn from him. He
was left, heart broken, a. mental and
physical wreck, a martyr to the envy of
those who had already glory enough for
the gods themselves without tearing his
laurels from his brow and beating him
down in the dust. Gallant, brave and
fearless, respectful to his superiors, and
obedient as an officer in the American
navy of all navies in the world should
be, he was man on whom his superiors
relied, from the day of his graduation at
Annapolis to the day when he was placed
in command of the North Atlantic squad
ron, to win just such victory as he did
win. He was brave, but no Drawer than
others. But he was safe as well as
brave. His superiors knew him to he a
man whose bravery was consistent, not
cratic, man whose sense of the duty
he owed to his country and his imme-
date superiors was moreover as con-
slant as his bravery. And like others
who are the bravest he was modest.
The swagger of the bully was not type
which found expression in him. And
yet his last days were perhaps the sad
dest of those of any of the heroes the
American navy has ever produced.
