Park Row to take in the money
There are Greek restaurants in va
rious places; most conspicuously op-
posite the Grand Central station;
Greek confectioners are everywhere.
Yet it is only>th1ee years since, ex-
plaring New York as ceaselessly l
must do without ever learning it,
entered Greek restaurant on Oliver
street in search of novelty and infor-
nation. Anyone who has ever read
Greek can do it now. He can speak it
also, or read a bill of fare if he has
ingenuity enough to see that "mphi-
phteki" must be 'beefsteak." With
confidence, therefore, 1 called for "av-
golimono;" for "retsinato,'' or wine
doctored with powdered resin, a dead
ly stuff. To everything the waiter
proprietor replied with a sad smile.
Presently he began rubbing his lean
stomach. Hungry? Yes, was, told him.
A man sitting at the next table
leaned over and in the voice-of longer
in America, said: ''He means he's got
stewed tripe an dat's ALL" Which
proved to be the case. Triple and
bread was the entire bill of fare. It
was enough for the frugal Greeks who
frequented the place.
Three years have made a change.
You may take your choice now of
several Greek restaurants furnishing q
good bill; of two Syrian ones, and
there is one that prints it's bill in Ar
menian, which I defy ten native. Of
New York to read. All these plsces
are clean and cheap. The Greek pro-
prietor will grin widely if upon going
out you say 10 him "Kahlee neekta
keree," which is the way "Good-ni2ht
SIR" is pronounced but not the way it's
spelled. If anyone wishes to convince
himself that the common school and
college pronunciation of ancient Greek
is absurd let him talk few minutes
to the man behind the desk, who
makes of Greek a living tongus. II

Curionsly does fashion come back
to old forms. In the society of the
Bourbon court in Paris, before the rev.
olution it was the custom to drive
the aristocrat's carriage in upon the
first floor of his house, the family
rooms being above. In Italy, too.
Italy of the renaissance, the "piano
Mobile" or floor devoted to the family,
was what we should call the second;
on the first were the stables and the
guard room. The daintier nostrils of
the century that discovered .'sanita-
ton and Was frightened at it's dis
covery banished the stable from the
walls that held the house. The SUBJ
stitution of the smell of gasoline for
other smells brings the carriage back
to it's own place.

become common.
But there must be horses, too. You

city. Dead Hugh Mclaughlin was for
years boss of Brooklyn when it was
a separate city. He made 100000,
aided by very long lease of power,
by methods a good deal cleaner than
those of the average Tammany man.
Mclaughlin was deeply religious; he
would not stand for" gambling or
debauchery. For it's size the 'City of
Churches was during his reign the
cleanest in the world. Its position near
New York Of course helped. The con-
solidation of Greater New York nearly
broke McLaughlin's heart Not five
years later he was at deal1 grips with
Tammany and lost. He had always
trained with Tilden. Hill and other
upstate leaders against Tammany
Now the word went out that Brooklyn
was to be ''Tammanyized," and McCar-
rem won against Mclaughlin as the
Tammany champion. He began the
process of turning over Brooklyn to
the same disorders that had cursed
Manhattan, but there was quarrel
about the spoils, as the cynical say,
or protest against evil conditions as
others have it. McCarren is a state
senator, powerful as the leader OF the
sugar lobby and an agent of other
trusts. He introduced a bill to give
Brooklyn borough practically an indie

where the pinch came, but at

commissioner comes as a shock to
large number of the old clerks, who
thought they had an "easy mark" in the
congressman. They had chafed under
the discipline of former Commissioner
Ware, and the latter was criticised and
kept in hot water continually because
he, too, believed the clerks should do
more work for the government than
they had been doing for good, round sal
aries. Commissioner Warner, it was
thought, would be a complacent gentle
man, who would allow the Office to run
itself, but the force has been rudely
awakened from their day dream.
The first drastic action the commits
sioner took was to dismiss ten members
of the board of review, all of whom were
old soldiers and old clerks drawing the
largest salaries paid in clerical posi-
lions. His attention was called to the
slipshod methods of work they had been
following, when it appeared that they
had allowed pensions to several men,
bers of Pennsylvania regiment which
had been raised for the three months
service in 1861, but which had never
been mustered in. The law and all reg
ulations were against this allowance,
and former administrations had passed
adversely upon the claims of these ap-
plicants. The offense was so glaring
that the, commissioner could not con-
done it, and they were dismissed
Then it began to dawn on the clerical
force that Mr.. Warner, although very
easy-going in manner and appearance,
had been keeping his eyes open since
taking office. He was not long in learn
ing that combination was in effect
among the pension clerks by which work
was retarded, so as to make it appear
that the large force in the bureau
was absolutely necessary. The COM
missioner believes that he could dis
pense with about 500 clerks if the bal
snce would put in a fair days work at
their desks.
