NEW MUSEUM OF HISTORY.
Mayor Low Lays the Foundation Stone OF
the historical SOciety'e Homo.


Mayor Low laid the cornerstone OF the
New York Historical Society's new home
at Central Park West and Seventy seventh
street yesterday afternoon in the presence
off small number Of the society's members
and guests. The ceremonies were simple
and lasted less than ten minutes. After the
granite block, on Which were cut the
dates "lsO4-l903." was swung into place
the Mayor, formally laying the stone, said

and the Rev. Charles E. Brugler offered
prayer. The members and their guests
then went to the hall Of the American
Museum Of Natural History. where, Hamil-
ton Wright Mabie delivered an address on
THE Genius of the Cosmopolitan City"
A reference at the outset to Mayor Low as
the "best Executive New York has ever had"
was vigorously applauded. Mr. Mabie
closed with these words:

The pay OF school teachers in New York
is ample, but there is no disposition
to complain of the rates as too high.
Certainly the ability and training neces-
sary to fit teacher for his work are
worth more than the wage OF an un-
skilled laborer.
A part of the difference in wages
between New York and Philadelphia
may be accounted for by the difference
in the cost Of living in the cities, but it
appears that some Of the Philadelphia
teachers are obliged to work at other
callngs outside of school hours in order
to make incomes sufficient to pay their
expenses. This division Of their ener-
gies results, unquestionably, in impaired
efficiency in the performance Of their
school duties, and ultimately is to the
disadvantage Of the pupils.
1t Is also declared that the number OF
applicants for places is insufficient to
fill the vacancies in the teaching staff,
and that for this reason classes fire.
quently 60 untaught.
There are, it appears. s.7ee teachers
in the Philadelphia public schools. and
their united demand for more pay has
moved the municipal authorities to pro-
pose to grant an increase Of $50 a year
for each year of service from the fifth
to the tenth, until maximum of $770 is
reached, where New York pays 81, 1,240.
New York school teachers are better
paid than any others in the country.

Besides these there were from the
Southern States 1888 native whites OF
native parentage, or total OF whites
from the South of 38932. The number
of negroes of Southern birth was 81 ,53l.
Add to this enumeration Of Southern
whites in New York the number who
have settled here since 1900, their chill
dren born here and the people of South
ern connections and Southern sympa-
thies, and the assumed total of $4,000 at
the present time is not unreasonable.
These Southerners, too, are of high
average of ability and social influence.
In every learned profession and in the
world of affairs they are more prominent
relatively than the natives OF any other
group of States, unless it be New Eng
land They are also active and inauen-
tial in politics, and, Of course. are al
most universally Democrats. They are
also bound together by strong common
sympathies as Southerners. If they
should combine in any movement to
"rehabiltate the Democratic party
they would be powerful.
Complaints are made at the South that
so much of its superior ability emigrates
TO Northern States, with q view to find
ing larger and wider opportunities for
it's exercise; but the distinctively South
crn born population Of New York is not
great enough to indicate very serious
draught on the South, at least numeri-
cally, though undoubtedly those emf
grants are generally of its best class
intellectually. Great lawyers, for ex-
ample, tend to seek the wider and more
profitable field of New York, but 80 also
do they come hither from every other
part of the Union From New England
alone have come nearly three times as
many native white residents Of New
York as from all the Southern States.
The number from New Jersey and from
PENNSYLVANIA is twice as many. From
the Western States, however, it is less,
the tendency Eastward being noticeably
small. The greatest number is from
Ohio. About fifth Of the Southerners
are from Virginia, with Maryland a
very close second.
The native white population Of New
York born outside the State of New York,
however, is very much less than it is
supposed to be commonly. In 1900,
out of a total of 737, AIT natives of native
parentage, 60o, ,019 were born in the State
of New York, and all except 53,l71 in
New York and the nearby States of New
England, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
OF the native whites of foreign parent
age, a total of 1,37l 5Os, all except only
33, ,43O were born in New York and those
neighboring States, and even nearly half
the negroes were of the same nativity.
AS we have remarked, however. the
exceptionally high order of ability Of the
Southern contingent in New York would
make powerful any combination among
them for political purpose. Their in
fluence would not only be felt here, but
would extend also to the South, at pres
ent the one great stronghold Of the
Democracy outside the city Of New
York. II they should bring their con-

| SOME RELIEF ON THE BRIDGE.
Folks Are Besinning to Understand the
Use OF the New Loops.

The crush at the Bridge entrance is at
Its worst on a rainy night, but after looking
1t over last night the railroad officials
Deputy Bridge Commissioner Robinson
and Engineer Mclean agreed that the new
loops had worked improvement.
Persons who have watched the jam Tor
years said that there seemed to be about
as much fighting as ever at the old loops
near Park Row. At the new loops nearer
Brooklyn there is more space, and the
trouble was not 80 noticeable.
Engineer Mclean said that he was pretty
well satisfied with the way things are going
on the new system and that as soon as
people get used to the new loops the i'm
provement will be more marked. Every
body seems to be in such hurry to get
home that not much attention Ia paid to
the big blackboard which tells on which
loops the various cars now run. AS yet
few seem to understand that they can
use the overhead route to get to the inner
set of loops.
All the cars that came in on the new
loops last night were unloaded at the north
side Of the Bridge. Then the gates were
closed and the cars were run around to
gates were opened at the front and rear
platforms, everybody fought to get on at
the rear.
Engineer Mclean pointed out to Sun
reporter that the crowd at the north side
Of the loops nearer Park Row did not ex-
tend out to the roadway as was the case
before the new loops were in use. That.
he said, was an indication OF how the con-
gestion had been relieved.
you see," said Mr.. Mclean, between
$1,000 and O,OOO people are carried across
the Bridge on the trolley lines every hour
in the rush time. Now half these people
take the cars on the new set Of loops. So
you can see that it can't help relieving the
congestion. OF course you've got to give
the people a chance to get used to the new

Teachers Pay in New York and
PHILADELPHIA.

The supervising and teaching forces
of the Philadelphia public schools are
engaged in a united effort to have the
salary schedules rearranged and in
creased, so that the remuneration OF the
pedagogues may bear some relation to
the salaries paid for similar services in
other communities. It is declared by
the teachers that the Philadelphia sala-
ries are so low that successful teachers
either quit the schools for professional
or business pursuits, or else obtain
places in other cities where higher sala-
RIGS are paid.
Philadelphia is the third city OF the
union in population. Its people are
prosperous, and 1t is known as an Amer
