New-York tribune., 1903-02-01

New-Haven Conn., Jan 31-On Tuesday the
Yale campus will be in its annual state Of de-
Hrium over the advent of the hosts of fair young
women from all over the United States for the
Junior Promenade. For weeks the Yale under
graduates have been preparing for the occa-
sion and when the bandmaster raises his baton
for the opening march on the evening of Febru-
ary it will be again to usher in the most
elaborate social assemblage OF any university
in the country.
Every year something more remarkable in
the way of decorations of the ID Regiment
Armory, where the event is held, has been at
tempted, and every year the juniors who make
up the committee in charge have devised some
nearer approach to what the newspapers al
ways says it is-"faryland." An imported
orchestra and band, regiment of New-York
walters and staff of New-York chefs. a roof
literally banked with bunting and festooned
with greens and walls hung with tapestries
and lined with elaborately furnished boxes
form only the outer features Of the prom In
the midst of all that lies the real attractveness
OF the Junior "Prom'-the hosts of young wom-
en- and the throngs of men. AS the event has
grown in Importance in Yale life it has brought
TO it more and more representatives of the social
world outside of New-Haven. until it has come
TO be almost a national affair. Every class
adds one more item on the list of attractions.
phalanxes of walters have taken the places of
the few sweeps who volunteered for the duty
when the prom was started. and decorations
the of which has mounted into tens of
thousands have been added. 1t was only re-
Gently that the lavshness of expenditure which
had come 10 accompany the prom" resulted in
the first serious effort to cut down the money
outlay. Now, therefore. the undergraduates who
attend limit themselves TO making the armory
brilliant as possible and longer load down
their charges with the ayalanches OF flowers

the members to work in conjunction
with similar committees from the bor-
ough council and the Board of Trade.
with the object of securing a certain
plot of land for the purpose stated.
The site of the proposed new park
is located on the Schwabe tract, in the
Third ward, and is said to fill all the re-
quirements, and for which deed free
of all restrictions can be had. The
owner, it is said, will sell the plot,
which consists of about fourteen acres,
at reasonable figure and give abund-
ant time to pay for the land
The movement to provide the town
with another pleasure ground was be-
gun as the result of the restrictions i'm
posed on the use of the Public park.
While opinion is somewhat divided on
the right of the borough to make the
contemplated improvements, the general
feeling is that the town cannot afford to
dispute in courts the question raised,
and that by taking advantage of the
opportunity to buy another plot Free
land will have two ideal pleasure
grounds-one of which can be fitted for
picnic and amusement purposes and the
other maintained as a place for rest and
quietness.
There are a number of people in town
who view with disfavor the holding of
picnics at the Public park, contending
that these pastimes are more or less of
an annoyance to the surrounding resi-
dents. These, 1t is expected, will assist
In the movement to secure another place
for this sport, as by doing so it will free
the present park from the crowds which
usually gather there on such occasions,
The firemen are enthusiastic in the
matter and have very plausible argu-
ments to prove the correctness of their
stand on this subject. 1t will come be-
fore the council at the next meeting of
that body.

in the market as their share OF the
rake-of. Unsuspecting buyers took
them freely. The business of the
trust could not begin to pay dividends
on any such amount of stock-as
much was foreseen at the outset by
those who engineered the swindle-
and the consequence is that the stock
is worthless and the concern bankrupt.
But the plotters hope to avoid trouble
through their pre-arrangement. II
is, as the receiver describes it, ian
artistic swindle.n
Other so-called "industrials" are
but little better. The country is
honeycombed with plots for doing
the dear public out of its savings.
Men who shudder at the thought OF
the midnight thug getting a few
dollars from the unsuspecting way
farer have no conjunction in gouging
thousands and millions from honest
people just as worthy of sympathy by
their deceitful schemes. Nowhere
near all the raseality is in low places.
The financial magnate who takes adj
vantage of his opportunity to corner
the market and compel people to pay
unearned millions for the necessaries
of life is thousand fold more danger
GUS than the pickpocket, yet while the
latter is hustled off to Jail we bow in
homage to the greater rascal and per
haps accept his 'benefcence."
When we read OF mobs doing vio-
lence to persons and property in the
course of strikes, and when we con-
denim those engaged, let us not forget
that perhaps there are others equally Oh
Tending who sip their champagne and
wear their diamonds as the result Of
some unfair tribute levied on the
toilers under them.
As we read the horrors of the
French Revolution, it is well to re-
member that murder and pilage and
rapine did not begin then, but had
existed in France for ages, under a
genteel but no less cruel form.
