From Late Election

World.


able how quickly New Workers recover
from great celebrations. Although
the municipal election has been set
tied only four days there is almost no
sign whatever Of the strenuous cam
paign held here this fall. Even the
banner of the fusionists and Tamman-
yites which could be seen in every
part Of the city have been torn down
and the advertisings on the billboards
and trolley care has disappeared to
be replaced by the publicity of other
forms of business. Indeed much Of
this was done on Wednesday. The
Il told you SOS" have also ceased
prating, and everything and every
body have settled down to a busy
| winter.
The horse show opens Monday and
it promises to be the most interesting
exhibition ever held in Madison
Square Garden. The dog show under
| the direction of the Kennel association
of America, which precedes it this
week has also been a great success
and many valuable CANNES from all
over the United States were brought
here to be placed OH eXhinbit. Next
to the horse show the dog show at
tracts more fashionabIes than any
other public exhibition of the season.
The board Of health has decided to
RI, Of in
retaining marsh lands The work to
be undertaken is Of a character that
no other city has yet taken in hand
and as an initial step the marsh lands
of Staten Island will be reclaimed.
Other marshes are to be drained after
the work on Staten Island is COM
pleted and great progress is expected
toward the entire abolition of the
abolition of the mosquito and malaria.
1t is not generally known that New
York, among very many valuable art
treasures possesses the largest col
lection of Latin Bibles in the world.
This collection belongs to the General
Theological seminary of the. Protestant
at great effort and expense by the late
Dean Hoffman,. There are now in the
Bible room at the seminary 1906 diff
ferent editions of the Bible, in 1895
volumes. OF these 555 editions are in
Latin, in 1866 volumes. The remain
der includes SO editions in English,
about 100 in Hebrew and other lang
one language, 302 of the new testament
mostly in Greek and SO of the Hexap-
La. Goddess. etc.
Ex-speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives David B. Henderson is the
third man who held that exalted posi-
ton to make his home in New York.
The first of the trio was John G. Car
| Isle. Mr.. Carlisle not been not only
speaker Of the house and a sefla tor
! from Kentucky, but also a most astute
and successful secretary Of the treas
| ury. The late Thomas B: Reed, was
| the second and although a compare
| lively poor man when he came to live
| in New York where he practised at the
!
he left an estate valued at $350,000.
| F,X-Speaker Hendersons career will
doubtless equal that of his two dis
| tinguished predecessors. He is not
only an eloquent orator of the impas-
stoned order, but he is a sound lawyer
and ripe scholar. He enjoys the UNIQUE
distinction of having had a statue Of
| himself erected ana dedicated during
l his life time. It was unveiled in Iowa
only recently.
The mournful news that there Is to
be an increase in the price of pie has
spread CONSERVATION in certain quar-
, ters. The pie factories, the only source
: of nonspurious quick lunch pies in the
!, city, have been forced to increase
, wages. The brand. therefore, which
has hitherto been purchased for s
cents will now cost cents, and mid
: day lunches will approach in conse-
quence the munf1cent sum Of II cents
, There is notable absence NOWADAYS
. of impure and low grade milk in the
, immense quantity of the tactical fluid
q that is consumed here. Never before
probably in the history Of the city
has the system Of inspection and su-
pervising the milk been so thorough
a as it Is today. Every discovery in the
\ science Of sanitation has been taker
+ advantage of, the number of inspec-

q possible and the board Of health is
