MOVING PLATFORM.
One May be Installed on the Brook
lyn Bridge.
e YORK NOTES.

things visitors to New York ask to see.
as a general rule, is Brooklyn Bridge.
II there are other sights of so much
interest they are either Grants Tomb,
Central Park, st. Patrick's Cathedral
or one of the many famous RESIDENT
al dwellings on Fifth Avenue: but in
nine cases out o. ten BrooKlyn bridge
will ue asked for first. This famous
structure will become of increased in.
terest to visitors, If q moving platform
is installed on the bridge as has been
proposed, everybody will want to take
at least one ride on a moving platform
two and a half miles long, for that
would be its length in crossing the
bridge and its approaching twice. The
proposed platform would be in three
parts. The outer rim would move very
slowly. The traveller would step on
this first, and then to a middle section
running twice as fast. From this it
would be easy to step to the last sect
ion. running ten miles an hour. If the
plan is carried out seats and shelter
will be provided, also posts by which
the timid and infirm might steady
themselves in passing from one NOV
ing section to another. Arrangements
are hoped to be made by which the tro-
Hey cars will withdraw from the brid-
&c. but with such a close connection
that the cost of transportion may be
covered for the same five cents.

Speaking of Brooklyn that borough
is the field of operations Of a gang of
desperate burglars who have thus far
been successful in eludipg capture. The
1;tf,o-- hap1 0DnI raoCAn IN aanntloiv,
too. There are only 1,62S patrolmen in
Brooklyn. which has a population Of
a mlliion and a quarter, or n to
every 40 inhabitants. Other Dor.
oughs of Greater New York that have
not one quarter of Brooklyn's popula-
ton have nearly half as many police
men, and this is causing bitter protes-
tation on the part of Brooklynites.
The coming Republican State Con-
vention of New York will find itself
forced t o take a stand almost UMPIRE.
cented in its history owing to the ad.
option of certain resolutions in other
States of the Union. New York re.
publicans will be compelled to endorse
president Roosevelt for denomination
in 1904. for a failure to do so after the
explicit and warm concentrations OF
the President by seven or eight lead
ing States would be regarded as dis
tinctly hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt. The
Republican Convention of the Presid-
ent's own State to be held in Septem'
Der will, therefore endorse him.
Following the footsteps of the other
political parties. the Prohibitionists
will hold their State Convention in
New York t. nominate a Governor and
other candidates under the emblem of
the Fountain at Saratoga on Septem-
Der 5.
Much interest has been excited here
among all classes of politicians in Eek
any leadership in the Ninth Assembly
District. Devery is making a pictur-
esque fight and his friends say that he
will eventually work up to the place of
Boss held by Richard Croker for sew
enteen years, but Senator Tim"
| sullivan, who Is about as slick a pol
itician as the city possesses, is throw
ing his entire influence against Dew
cry. and intends to put him e~ffectually
out of the game"
There is great activity among the
members of the Professional Woman's
| League these days in view of the fact
that extensive preparations are being
made for the Woman's Exhibition
which will be given in Madison Square
Garden from October 6 to Is under the
auspices of the league. During the ex-
hibition the Garden will be in the
/ haylc rf m yattiaAat hrinadn for nuar
three thousand attches will be EN-
ployed in the various departments Of
the great fair, and not n of the mum
Der will be of, the opposite sex. The
exhibition is intended to show the
work of Women through out the worlt
and women of all nations will be
shown in pursuit of characteristic EN-
ployedments.
The influence of woman is constan
lily being extended to the trades as
well as arts and sciences. Mrs. Jennie
Packer, who a year ago was appointed
receiver of a business firm in this city
whose parents had disagreed and wan
ted to seperate, has, instead of CLOSING
up the business, continued il, paiC
bills and put it in such a p%rosperOu:

By fall it is hoped that electricit!

railroads of the city. Certainly tn
