THE PARK AVENUE IWPROTEuENT.

Owners of property in the neighborhood of
the open railroad cut south of Fifty-siXth-st
have now presented their plan of improvement
in a form which enables the general public and
the municipal authorities to gain some idea of
its merits and feasibility. The main object
which they hope TO achieve is a continuation of
the cross streets above Forty-ffth or Forty
sixth at easy grades over the railroad tracks
ROW existing and those which may be laid here
after. and their contention is that this can
readily be accomplished by depressing the
tracks from point not far north of the Grand
Central Station 10 the entrance TO the tunnel
at Fifty-sixth-st., or perhaps TO a point little
beyond the entrance
The first impression was that in order to
provide nearly level street crossings where now
there are only footbridges or no bridges at all
il would be necessary to undertake an immense
work of excavation beneath the Grand Central
Station and the yard north of It, at great cost
10 the company and Inconvenience to passen-
gers, who in that case would be obliged TO en-
ter and leave trains at a level much below that
10 which they are accustomed But the cal
culations of competent engineers would seem
TO show that such an expensive and trouble
some alteration would not be required IL ac-
''urately made they indicate that owing to the
typographical accident of high street surface
al PaTk-ave and Forty -ninth-st., 10 which the
railroad tracks now conform with a decided
down grade both ways from that point trains
might continue TO run into and out of the sta
ton at about. if not exactly, the present level
after the tracks had been sufficiently depressed
north of it, II is further represented that 10
depress the tracks in that manner and to that
extent would add 4 comparatively small
amoGnt-probably less than O,OOO-to the out
lay which the Central is supposed TO be willing
10 make in order TO introduce electric power in
place OF steam.
Property owners directly concerned frankly
admit that their interests would be particularly
served by the acceptance of their plea. hut they
also urge with much force that the general well
fare would be greatly promoted in various WAYS
il the cross streets now severed at Park-aye
were Joined. Considered by itself alone If
must appear a very foolish thing to leave a long
open cut through part Of the city which is
naturally desirable for purposes OF residence
and business-to keep, as it were, a great cash
IN the citys yitals unhealed. There is little
doubt that if street crossings were made below
Ffty-sixth-st-. like those above that point i'm
portant material developments would follow
and taxable values would largely increase To
the advantage of the city Moreover there
would be much better security against fires in
the opinion of the department which is now
embarrassed by the difficulty of getting its ap-

LIVINGSTONE AND KRUGER.

Mr.. KRUGER gives in his memoirs his version
Of the historic trouble between the Beers and
DIR. Livingstone, the ilIustriOus missionary and
explorer. He says that the Beers, during their
with the Kaffir chief. Secheli. found in
LivingstOne's house "a complete workshop for
'the repairs of firearms and multitude OF war
materials which Livingstone kept stored for
"Secheli's use" and that they accordingly ICON
fiscated the missionary's arsenal" He thus
appears to give the impression that Living
stone was practically an ally of the Kaffir saw
ages against the Beers. and that the seizure of
the contents of his house was perfectly justi-
fable measure of the Beers for their own
security and for the prosecution of their war
against Secheli.
Livingstone himself gave a somewhat differ
ent account of the incident The Boers,' he
wrote in his missionary Travels In 1857 de

LIFE INSURANCE AND sAHATORIA.

A letter from The Tribune's Paris CORE
spondent printed Thursday, described novel
feature Of the campaign which Is being waged
against tuberculosis in Germany In that
country certain insurance companies devote
large sums of money to the maintenance of
sanatoria for the treatment of tuDerculous
workmen When attention is once directed to
the point any one can see that such a course
by reducing mortality among policy holders,
might lessen the losses of the companies from
death. Few people would suppose, though.
that the effect would be conspicuous. 1t is sur
prising therefore, 10 learn that such is really
the case. After trying the plan Tor three years
the insurance companies have discovered that
It is a source of profit, and not simply char
liable venture Already there are no less than
eighty-three sanatoria for workmen In Ger
many and Or. Brouardel assures our CORE
spondent that the system is now permanently
established and in good working order
How far imitation of the procedure here out
lined would be expedient In other countries is
a question which Immediately suggests itself
but is not easily answered. To some extent
the conditions existing in Germany are unique.
Insurance of wOrkmen Is there made compu-
sorry by law. II all Of a cOmpany's policy hold
ers or even large proportion Of them belong
to this class, the mortality would be greater
than If 1t was permitted 20 accept or reject
applicants after examination. The losses would
consequently be heavier and such protection
as hospitals and sanatOria would afford against
these might be deemed necessary. Where no
reason for insuring undesirable subjects exists
the ratio of OutgO to income would be different
and the means employed in Germany TO cure
the sick policy holder might prove relatively
too expensive. Still, the scheme Is one which
deserves careful consideration, particularly by
organizations whose standards not now
high as those which they once maintained
incidentally the story which DIR. Brouardel
tells upon his return to Paris from the recent
international conference on tuberculosis in Ber
lin. throws some light on the excellence Of the
German sanatOrla themselves. He does not
say how closely they parallel the fresh-air and
hearty-feeding practice of the one at Nordach.
Additional details in relation to the treatment
which has proved satisfactory would have
been welcome. But the simple fact that 90
per cent of the discharged patients can 20 a
full year without being kept from work by
sickness a single day is highly instructive. 1t
affords great encouragement to all who con-
template establishing such institutions else
where either for charity or profit.

No FAINT HEARTS ON THE FIELD


In football above most other games of skill
and swiftness, of strategy, generalship and
force. of pluck and endurance it is the unex-
pected that happens Last year Harvard de-
feated Yale by the amazing score of % to o.
when the experts expected Yale, even if de-
feated to make Il fair showing of points. This
year Yale routed Harvard by the still more
astonishing figures of % to 0, although it was
generally believed in advance that the Crimson,
even If it had almost a hopeless chance of van
gushing the Blue, would escape a complete
whitewash by a fair margin.
On THANKSGIVING Day. when Columbia and
Syracuse made tie on the Polo Grounds, with
which the Columbia players are so familiar. the
result confounded the prophets. But still more
remarkable was the rally made by the Inlver-
sity of Pennsylvania team in the second half
of the hard fought contest against Cornell upon
that holiday The Cornell men are hardy and
brawny smashers of the pigskn and also OF
their adYersaries and in the first half of the
exciting struggle they battered their opponents
with such energy although fairly and squarely
by the rlgor of the game that the sOrely snit-
ten PennsyIvanians appeared to have been
stricken and shattered almost 10 a standstill.
But in the face of every encouragement. when
the hOnOrs of the afternoon were seemingly
gone beyond possibility of saving. the Penn
syIvania heroes fought with invincible grit, and
so stubbOrnly and desperately that they saved
the day. ami the final record was II TO II in
their favor.

ONCE MORE: THE DOCTRINE.

One of the most interesting phases of the
controversy between Venezuela and some Euro
pean powers Is found in the expression of Opin-
ion. put forth in France, that vigorous militant
action by Germany and Great Britain will he
to the general advantage since it will more
fully define the real meaning of the Monroe
Doctrine" We recently called attention to
the somewhat surprising discovery of an ac-
complished traveller and scientist in Paris
that the Monroe Doctrine had its origin and
first promulgated at some time since 1867.
1t may be that the same erudite and discrimi-
mating authority is responsible for this later
pronouncement. Or, perhaps it is that other
pundit, dwelling at WeissnichtwO. who re-
CARDS the doctrine expressed in Volapuk
and written in cuneiform characters and as
having never yet been translated into either the
vulgar or the diplomatic tongue.
Upon no other theory than that of some such
origin can explain this and many another
call for definition of the real meaning of the
Monroe Doctrine. According to our recollec-
ton, submitted with due diffidence that doc
trine was put forth three-quarters of century
ago, and according to our estimate of it, which
may. OF course, be mistaken it was and is ex-
pressed in phraseology which. though perhaps
not quite grammatical is cOnspicuOusly clear
and explicit in meaning. Moreover, unless
memory serves us 1alsely, 1T has from time to
time in these last scores of years been again
and again authOritatively interpreted defined
and applied Of course 1t may be that it's real
meaning" is still enshrouded in mystery So
too may Magma Charta and the Edict of Nantes
need elucidation. But
There is story of some ones having written
a three volume treatise upon the first line of
the nursery rhyme about Jack and Jill, who
went up a hill TO fetch pail of water the
argument being that in speaking of Jack and
JILL instead of Jill and Jack, the MachiavelIan
author meant subtly 10 instl into the childish
mind the notion of mans superiority over

paratus from one side Of Park-aVe to the other
for the space of q dozen blocks.
Advocates of the scheme we have outlined
do not care to lay much stress at present on
other considerations which they have in mind,
but they are confident that if the Central should
consent or be required to depress its tracks,
thus enabling the cross streets to be joined
above them. it would thereafter of its own ac-
cord, and for its own sake, take another i'm
portant step. Desiring more tracks, the com
pany has bought or secured options on a large
part of the Park-aVe. frontage south of Fifty
sixth-st. and has planned to widen its cut so
as 10 take in the present roadway and side
walk and remove Park-ave. a corresponding
distance westward. IT, however, the tracks
should be depressed. the suppOsitiOn is that the
company would find ii easy, advantageous and
much less expensive TO extend its cut under
Park-ave. without permanent disturbance of the
surface retaining its recently acquired prop
erty as an investment or selling it at the profit
which would result from the use of electricity
and other related improvements. But such con-
lectures are aside from the question whether or
not the present track grade should be lowered
and street crossings established That question
is worthy of attentive consideration by the pub
lie and the municipality, and our opinion Is that
until it has been fully debated no less compre-
hensive project ought TO be authorized.

woman and thus TO perpetuate the oppression
of the gentler sex. Analytical philosophers OF
such q school may read some startling things
between the lines of the Monroe Doctrine, of
which neither Monroe nor Adams nor yet Can
ming much dreamed. But so far as prac-
teal international politics is concerned it will
probably be of advantage to regard the doctrine
as neither a startling novelty nor an intricate
enigma, but rather long existent and per-
fectly we'll known thing which means just
what it says and neither more nor less.
