Cape Haltien, Oct. 27.-The town

set in rows four feet apart each way.
At eleven years old they averaged six

american Plan" Modified to Special
Charge for Flesh and Fish-oldest
University AboIishes the Custom Of
Tipping the Waiter-The Passing of
the Star Boarder.

| Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 29-The
comparatively small number of Har
ward students who will remain at the
big dining room of memorial hall to eat
their Thanksgiving dinner-the great
majority spending their holidays away
! from college-next Thursday will have
the experience unknown to the classes
of previous years of paying for their
turkey according to the amount they
eat This is something new at Har.
! vard-one of two innovations intro
duced this autumn for the first time at
the big dining hall wherein some 1900
students meet daily for bread and
meat. No longer may the young Har,
ward man stuff" on flesh fish and fowl
| to hearts content for no purpose OF
ministering to his needs but because
he is paying board bills by the week :;
and no longer may he tip the waiter
to get better service than his comrades
enjoy.
Both these innovations involve inter
esting departures in the system of
feeding students at Harvard. Until
Jlllo ldil llull, JIG
Harvard dining room, was conducted
on what is known in gastronomic cir
cles the American plan whereby one
pays lump sum for dinner and then
eats all one can. The hall is practical
ly one extensive dining club, or rather
a series of dining clubs under one roof,
since the 1900 students divide them
selves about row after row of long,
whiteCovered club tables. The total
expense of the eating has always been
met by an exact division of cost among
the members. This arrangement has
kept the bdard at memorial hall at
about $4 .25 or $3.50, but it has involved
also a great waste in provisions, par
ticularly in the departments of meat,
fish and eggs, which average about
three-lourths of the regular cost of sup
plying the Harvard appetite. Every
student has heretofore been under
more or less temptation to order up al
most everything on the bill of fare,
Just to see what it looks like" a
temptation that is CT course inherent
in the American system of boarding
wherever it hourishes. To minimize
this waste these principal items have
now been placed on the menu at cost
price-rOast ribs of beef with dish of
gravy, for example, at / cents, or
roast young chicken, stuffed, with glib
let sauce at 16--so thu they must be
ordered and pal. Tor by ticket.
The amount of flesh, fish and fowl
consumed is thus left to the inclination
of each individual student boarder. All
other articles of food remain as under
the former system, and the cost of this
general board together with the eX-
pense Of running the hall, is still diyid
ed equally among the students. A
young man now has much larger lib
erty to follow his individual prefer.

MoNeREL DOG A coMMUTER.

For the last 10 days the employees
at the Mount Vernon station have
been curious to learn the identity of
dog which seems to have become
regular commuter on the road. The
dog answers to the name of Jack and
is a mongrel
Jack usually arrives at the station
painting from exertion to catch the
SAT train for New York city. He walls
until he sees a good chance to get on
the train and, after all the passengers
are on board he makes a dash up the
steps and into the coach. He slides
under a seat At first the conductors
and brakemen chased him and kicked
him when they caught him stealing
rides, but he has since made friends
with them and they have come to re-
spect his rights, at least as much as
they do the rights of the other COM
muterS.
The dog. when he reaches the
Grand Central station, bounds on the
train and disappears in the crowd. In
the evening he returns, and by watch
ing for the Mount Vernon commuters
manages to find the train for that city.
One day Jack was put OFF two
trains and then disappeared. In the
afternoon he was seen getting off a
train from the city, showing that he
had come to New York despite the Ell.
forts of the station employees to pre-
vent him. When he cannot get a
train Jack goes about with his tail be-
tween his legs, whining disconsolately

elects to be a hearty beefeater the eX
J pense OF his individual board is a per
sonal matter which the economy OF the
new system places at really lower
| figure than it would formerly have
amounted to.
The new system reduces the mini
mum board TO the typical Harvard
man" to about $3.50 week, and makes
/ the average cost OF student living IN
the hall run from S3 to So. 1t has fur
Their an application to the frequent
cases of absences from meals. For eY
cry dinner he doesn't eat the student
saves on his meat, fish or eggs; While
at the same time the general board,
SO called, compels him to pay his pro
portionate share of such expenses as
must go on whether he is present or
not.
Thus far this season the new system
has worked admirably, and will, it is
believed, effectually solve a question
in the economy OF running big col
lege dining hall that has long worried
the student managers OF the Harvard
dining association, affordlng perhaps a
useful object lesson to other institu-
tons where the American plan is fol
lowed without qualifications.
There is, it should be said, one new
item in the expenses OF the individual
student, which stands for regulation
that doubtless appeared revolutionary
to the eXpectant throng OF walters
when they assembled last September
in the big memorial basement to re,
ceive instructions before beginning the
autumn season. There is no more
tipping at memorial, and the new item
is dime added to the weekly charge
against each boarder Tor the purpose
the walters salaries. AS there is
about one waiter to Is or 20 students,
this regular perquisite makes an ap-
preciable increase in the colored broth
ers' pay, and perhaps equals approx
mately the amount previously distribut-
ed in tips 1t is not supposed that the
custom OF tipping in memorial has ever
been very serious menace to the
democracy of Harvard but it has I'M
questionably caused a certain uneven
ness in the attention paid by memorial
walters to those who, under the condl-
lions OF service in a college commons,
quite as much as in those OF a big no.
tel, are literally dependent upon the
colorGd gentlemen for their bread and
butter.
The directors OF the dining assoc1a-
ton" to quote the card which every
waiter was given to read, ponder ana
accept before he entered upon his pres
ent years work, "believe that talr
wages, agreed to in advance, and sure
to be paid, with no tips, are more just
than low wages, with unequal, and un,
certain tips. Therefore tipping Will
not be continued" The star boarder
from the walters point OF view has
thus ceased to exist in the Harvard
commons.

mated at $50,000,000, though probably
contracts for only a small part of this
are ready now. The railroad thought
it a great hardship when hold-up in
the New York council caused it to
spend year getting permission to go
ON with this enormous work. But the
effect of that delay has been to carry
it over the crest of the boom period
and out of the zone of hold-up strikes.
Iron is cheaper and labor must be
cheaper soon. On a work so ex-
tensive and likely to continue for so
many years, the company ought to get
pretty good bids next month 1t will
be tremendous advantage if this in
vestment, which will carry fixed
charges indefinitely, can be made at
reduced cost in time of slight de-
preston.
There has been a good deal of talk
about this enormous enterprise; but
we imagine that few people have
grasped it's full magnitude either as an
engineering work or as a solution of
a great transportation problem. New
to direct approach from the west and
south, directions from which the
heaviest and most rapidly increasing
freight and passenger traffic comes.
Exports and imports, millions of an
nual visitors to New York and millions
of travellers from Europe, have to be
ferried over the Hudson at the begin
ming or the end of their journey.
Moreover, Long Island, the natural
place for the residence expansion of
the metropolis, is cut off by broader
river and has been sorely neglected
in development of suburban traffic.
One railroad has monopoliZed it in the
old, sluggish, public-be-damned
fashion.
The Pennsylvania company has
bought the Long Island road and will
make suburban development of the
whole island part of its extensive sys-
tenn of underground construction. The
tunnel that will take its railroad under
the Hudson into New York will travel
ON under New York, under the East
river and part Of Brooklyn, coming up
far enough out to connect with a sys-
tenn of suburban lines spreading all
over the island. The tunnel will be
six miles long, from the point where
it 'pIunges under the low range of
hills along the Hudson to the point
where it comes out in the middle OF
Brooklyn. 1t will be an ordinary arch
tunnel through the rock of the Jersey
shore and Manhattan island. Through
the mud and slit under the two rivers
it will be two metal tubes lined and
surrounded by concrete, like those
now building for trolley cars under
these same two rivers and described in
this place two or three weeks ago. To
bear the heavier traffic of great rail
road, these tubes, floating in the mud
under the river will be supported on
rows of cement pillars, made by screw
ing hollow cylinders down into the
mud under them and filling them with
concrete.
In the middle of Manhattan island
the two tunnels from either direction
will rise to a splendid underground
passenger station that will occupy
four blocks and cost $10000,000. This
is the most costly and extensive ter.
minal work ever undertaken by any
American corporation, but the tremen-
dous possibilities of traffic develop
ment, where 100000 people are
gathered within a radius of ten miles,
make it look like rather a conserva-
tive enterprise after all.
