established a transfer station at Grand-st. and
Grsham-aye When the Humhodt-st- route to
Calvary Cemetery discontinued the company
Meeker-ave and placed tracks in Meeker-ave, from

that he believes the will decide that the

luton Thursday afternoon. declared them to be-
part of the tunnel construction. II they are
equipment the contractor must pay for them
II is declared by Mr.. Grouts friends that the

well understood. made in sections about thirty
inches long. containing four fues. holes. each
about three inches in diameter When these sec

ducts to run the electric power wires In
stead of placing only sixyfour or seventy of these
ducts in the tunnel walls. the contractor has ex-
actly doubled the number Mr.. CIRCUITS friends
that the company. after they get their road
running, will he likely to get through the leg1S-
lature a bill siving them the privilege of using
these extra ducts for purposes entirely apart from

used to accommodate electric light wires wires for

purposes that the contractor has IN view When
the tunnel contract was being prepared there was
animated discussion about the value and utility

TO SEND THE MONEY TO THE MEN.
CONTROLLER CIRCUIT MAKES CHANGES IN THE
PAY SYSTEM OF THE CITY.


Controller Grout yesterday issued a statement
regarding changes which he has made and changes
he intends make in the method Of paying city
employees All changes made with a view TO
saving the time of the employees. II has been the
custom to pay day laborers In various departments
by sending a paymaster to central point on one
day of the week. and having the labOrers assemble
there to receive their pay. In the Park Depart-I
ment in Brooklyn, for instance. paymaster went
to the Iitchfeld Mansion a week and handed
money to leborers who came from Highland
Park Forest Park Greenpoint Coney Island and
other outlying districts The city lost the services
of tho aborers for nearly whole day while they
were going after their pay and returning. A
change made by Mr.. Grout compels the paymaster
to go to the men. making his rounds in coach
The new plan has been tried in Brooklyn with
success and is to be tried in other boroughs
Some time ago the Controller stopped the prac-
tice of handing police captain a warrant
for months pay of all the policemen in a precinct
and allowing the captain to pay off all the men
under him. The police now get their pay by check
as the captain does The check system has been
in use in the Department of Education and in
the Fire Department for long time The Con-
trolIer intends to open paymaster accounts
in larger number of banks in all the boroughs
selecting banks on account of their location, so
checks cashed without going far from their sta

A Great Play Coming.

No stage heroine of recent years has
excited so much attention as" The Sec
ond Mrs Tanlueray." which Rose
Coghlan will present Friday. Cet. ~.
II is probably the most difficult charac-
ter to play that Arthur w. Pinero ever
evolved. Paula has broken the laws
society has ordained. Her endeavOrS
TO regain her foothold after her mar
rage are fruitless. A hundred curious
ewes are turned unon the second Mrs.
Tanaueray to watch every action,
every circumstance. everything con-
ne.ted with her daily life. The menu
DRY Of her past is torturing her, She
finds herself preycd on by this torment
and cannot confide in her husband or
his daughter. Socially she is ostra-
cized. and in Aubrey Tanqueray's
quiet country mansion she has neither
sympathy, assistance nor social obli-
cations to help her to forget. Every
day is day of self-infliction. of yearn-
irg for the position her vanity has
caused her to forfeit. The complex
workings of Paula Tanqueray s. nlntl
are vividly displayed by the splendid
art of Rose Coghlan, whose beauty OF
face and figure are accumulated by the
exquisite and costly gowns she wears.
Already much interest is being mani
tested in the coming ~ this great
actress ana Manager Owen IS to be
congratulated on securing such a fine
attraction. z
