PUT OUT OF COMMISSION.
THIRD-AVE. us" FATE.
That Situation at Midnight-S50 O5
Total for Dag at Battery.

Police Captain Farrell and hundred re-
serves were in charge OF the IL" terminal at
South Ferry at midnight. Traffic was light on
the occasional seven car trains that came in.
The 6th-ave. trains ran at irregular intervals
that varied between forty and fifty minutes.
The 9th-ave. had more trains, but these likewise
varied in their schedule. There were no trains
between $50 and 9:45 p. m.
A representative of the Interborough ap-
peared at the window of the ticket seller at
South Ferry at midnight and asked how much
money had been taken in for the day One ticket
seller said that up to that hour the total receipts
were S41 20 On inquiry at the other ticket
window it was found that 500 90 was the total
for the day. These figures prove that there were
only 1906 passengers taken from the South
Ferry terminal yesterday.
policeman stationed at the terminal said
that he made run to 155th-st and 9th-ave
with seven car train which left South Ferry
at 6:10 p. M. He returned with the train, ar
irving at the terminal at 9:20. He said that the
motorman who took the train uptown ran it
like a veteran. but that the three men in the
Vestibule on the return could hardly make an
even stop at the stations.
The subway trains at the City Hall station
came in last night fairly close to a ten minute
schedule. About IL o'clock they fell behind
and the schedule was from 10 to 20 minutes
The 3d-ave. service was practically out of
commission at midnight. The trains came in
at intervals, that varied between forty minutes
and two hours. At midnight a rope was
stretched the entrance to the station
from the bridge approach, and passengers were
warned by policemen that trains were run
ming. Even the chains between the ticket boxes
were fastened and were only lowered when an
occasional train came in. A sergeant from the
9th Precinct came on the scene at midnight and
demanded to know who had put the rope across

passengers were signaIled out by railroad en-
ployes they were directed to head for the out
going baggage room. on the west side of the
station, between 43d and 44th SITS. Through
this room they were conducted to their trains.
Before this expedient had been devised, how
ever many had missed their trains. At O'Clock
it was announced that the crowd had decreased
and order had been restored.
At the Grand Central Station in the morning
the influx of Harlemites who boarded Central
and New-Haven trains at 125th-st. made busi-
ness abnormally lively. The passengers were
permitted to ride on all trains which stopped
at 125th-st., except on "limiteds," although no
extra accommodations We're provided.
Judged by the requests for time tables show
ing trains to Harlem from people who never
thought of such thing before. It was evident
that many intended to return to Harlem by
steam
When the New-Haven Railroad trains running
on the Harlem Division of the Central stopped
at the stations below Woodlawn they were
besieged by those wishing to go downtown and
and were thronged. Under normal condi-
tions these trains do not take on passengers be-
low the Woodawn station. The extra train
service of the Central however. could not ac-
commodate the crowd.
Early in the day many Hariemites' despalihs
of the surface lines. took Central SUBURBAN
trains, which stopped at the 12oth-st- ana Park-
ave. stations, and thus rode as far downtown as
the Grand Central Station.
After D. m. trains left the Grand Cehtral
Station for The Bronx at twenty minutes lee
way, stopping at 125th-st., looth-st- ana al
other stations. Between and p. m. the Cen
tra1 road also stopped most of its regular trains

THEATRES LOSE $4,000.
Strike Will Continue to Cost Them That
Each Day It Lasts

The traction strike seriously affected theatrical
attendance last night and the managers were blue
over the prospect of several more days OF similar
conditions. The carriage contingent. OF course,
came 10 the theatres without trouble, and the hotel
patrons, but nearly every theatre on Broadway re-
ported a decided slump in business. At some
houses not than dozen seats were sold at
the box Office window the advance sale alone con-
stituting the audience Oscar Hammerstein reck-
oned up last evening that the strike had cost the
theatres $4,000. and would go costing that each
day till a settlement is reached.
An amusing incident occurred at the Lyric The
atre last evening. Jefferson De Angels, who takes
the leading part in "Fantana, lives in Yonkers.
He tried the subway, usual TO get downtown
and was stalled between Manhattan and ilSth SITS,

PREFERRED BEING JAILED.
Concealed Burglar Surrendered When
the Music Lessons Took
Effect.

A burglar who entered a Harlem house
suffered a unique form of punishment; Il
happened, says the New York Press, that
the family he had come to rob were IN
conveniently early %risers, and before he
had half finished his work he heard a
step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up
his booty, he slipped behind the piano, in
tending to make good his escape as soon
as opportunity offered. 81,
But opportunity did not offer, for it
appeared that the step he had heard Wis
that of one of the daughters of the house,
who had come down to the parlor for d
couple of hours practice before breakfast.
When she had finished another daughter
was standing ready to occupy the stool
for another two hours.
Next followed the music lessons OF
each of the young ladies' in turn. After
these lessons were over their brothers VIC
lin teacher appeared, and, seating hersel
at the piano, began his accompaniment
But this was too much. The burglal
rushed from his hiding place. =,

At last it seemed as though the good
schoolmistress was in despair. She
knew not how to punish her so as to have

LITTLE TOO PREcocloUs

Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr, the secretary
of the Yale corporation, takes a profound
interest in children, says the New York
Tribune. Talking with an undergraduates,
he said the other day:
Children should be modest, shy, quiet.
That type of child is apt to turn out
better in the end than the clever, taxa
tive, precocious type. 1t is apt to have
a broader, nobler mind. The talkatIvc
and precocious type is apt to be shallow.
For my part, | should hesitate to
promise much for the future of SO pre-
~cocious a youngster as one in Quincy
Adams that | heard of last week. 49,,
This Quincy Adams child, a little girl
of seven or eight years, stood one DAY
before a closed gate.
"a gentleman passed slowly. The
little girl turned and said to him:

MADEMOISELLE
MISCHIEF
BY LIEUT.. MURRAY

MANY years ago, ia a cottage near
lVl Paris, there lived a widower with
four children. The locality was in q
beautifully wooded district, since sWal-
lowed up in the grand improvements OF
the Bots de Boulogne. The occupant OF
the cottage was an artist, and a very
humble one in point of ability, VINO
struggled industriously to obtain food
for those four young mouths, like a pa
rent bird presiding over a nest of fiedg-
iinys.
The oldest of these children was sent
to school at the time we refer to, proving
an exceedingly intelligent pupil, but
with such an irresistible propensity for
mischief of all sorts that she absolutely
came to be called Mademoiselle Mis-
chief.
She was a good-hearted child, but yet
a perfect little imp, whose roguery got
her constantly into difficulty.
One very re~prehensible trick OF the
young girl was the propensity, which
seemed perfectly natural to her, for
drawing ~caricatures of the schoolmis-
tress and others, especially of all her
Young companions, which. being done
with admirable ~likenesses, possessed
lust enough merit to make the satire
very keen and sometimes bitterly felt.
Miss Mischief was also wonderfully
expert with the scissors. cutting out pic

CATS MAKE WOMEN RICH.
Raisers of Angoras Declared to Be
Possessors Of Wealth-How
Success Is Won.

Chicago,-Whether it be the raising
Of Angora cats or the raising Of six
cent bread the Hull House Woman's
club. agreed that women must put their
whole interest into their work to make
it successful. There is money in the
raising of Angoras; at least such is the
testimony Of Mrs. Laura Dainty Pei
ham. There is money in the restaur-
ant business. This is the testimony OF
Mrs. Ida Cronk. Mrs. Cronk has run
a restaurant, Mrs. Pelham has never
raised cats.
Mrs. Pelham gave a list Of enter
prises in which a woman can make a
good living. The list includes:
Bread-making-Such good bread as
will sell for six cents a loaf; to make
pickles, preserves and jams; the hand
laundry for shirt-waists; the making
Of shirt-waists; facial massage, hair
aresslng and manicuring; the raising
Of mushrooms in cellars; the keeping
Of bees; the raising of chickens; the
raising Of Angora cats.
Mrs. Pelham does not advice a won
an to start in the chicken business
with less than a farm training and
$500 in cash. This sum, she believes
| will start the business and keep tn
woman until she has some returns.

FROM SCIENTIFIC SOURCES.

The electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found by
the great scientist to be $50 feet from
the top of one wave to the top OF the
next. The waves used by Marcon1 In
t~elegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer; in fact, they are 6oo reef
or more. They travel at the same speed
as light-the incredible and almost In
conceivable rate of 1874, 900 miles per
second. But the light wave measures
only a few millionths of an inch.
Mr.. R. A. Farmer, of the United
States geological survey, has left Sacra-
mento, CAL, upon a mission that may es-
tablish, in accordance with scientific re-
uuirements, the exact height OF Mount
Whitney and also the lowest point In the
United States. Mount Whitney is gen
orally believed to be about 1880 feet
In height, while the surface of Death
valley, popularity supposed to be the
lowest in the country, has been estl-
mated at from 100 to 500 feet below the
level of the sea. The expedition will be
a hazardous one.
Darwin admitted that the pursuit OF
science destroyed his love OF art, but
Ernst Haeckel, who is one of the great
est living scientists, is also an artist OF
marked ability. Though Haeckel has
devoted a long and industrious life to
biological researches, he has found
leisure to do hundreds of paintings, n
many of his monographs on biology,
which are scientific classics, are illus
trated with his own pictures in color.
During a four months visit to India for
scientific study he brought back some
200 fair-sized water colors.
1t is difficult to conceive of the cond1-
lions where canned goods need be con-
sumed without preparation by use OF a
fire, but evidently such circumstances
do exist, as several arrane sments for
chemically heating canned goods are
being applied practically in Germany
In one case the heat is derived from So
called hard spirit contained in a re-
ceptacle attached to the can, and In al
other by allowing water containing
little acetic acid to act upon unslaked
lime, which ingredients are also con
tanned in receptacles attached to tint
can.
