The press dispatches have told that New York is four times as expensive as Chicago. though it has only twice as much population. but they didn't tell why. Here are some of the reasons given by the World:
 Because 1t Is four times as good place to live In; because 1t has more and bet ter policemen, and higher grade of civic employees; because 1t has cleaner streets: because it has better hotels, restaurants and cafes, and more than four times as many of them because 1t has Central park; because 1t has four times as many girls, each of whom is four times as pretty as those of Chicago: because these girls dress better and wear higher priced and more open 'peekaboo" waists be- cause it has the Subway; because four times as many rich Chicago men live more months In New York than they do in Chicago; Because 1t has four times as many automobiles: because Boston is only five hours away because all society shoot ings and marriages of millionaires with chorus girls occur here; because there are no strong arm" artists to wrench your money away, that accomplishment being performed more artistically by theatre managers, hackmen and walters because Chicago sends the best of every thing to New York to sell; because New York has no Packingtown: because all New Workers would gladly spend four times as much to live in New York rather than live in Chicago; because you're liv- ing, in New York, while Chicago only camps out till it's gets enough money to move to New York.

comstock, the Busybody.

Anthony Comstock, shining example of the so-called pure-mnded who promote vice by calling attention to it, got busy the other day and raided the quarters of the Art Students league. It was a revival of the old quarrel over the nude in art that ragged violently in this coun- try a generation ago, and resulted in the rout of the Puritan conscience. It was settled then that pants do not make puri- ty; but, of course, MT. Comstock could not be expected to draw any such common sense distinction. Any figure, no matter what high standard of art 1t might rep resent, was vicious to him If 1t did not have on clothes. so he went raiding. As the agent of a society. the object of which is to suppress obscene pictures, he entered the home of the art students and confiscated the edition of a magazine pub lished in the school because 1t contained two or three studies in the nude. He has been roundly condemned by the pub lie and, It Is not his first offence, the newspapers are demanding that the so- ciety he represents get an agent whose

He took several bites out of good horse of mine the other day. and I'm afraid 1t will never be the same horse again.

 MT.

Farmina In the cltx.

Last spring MT. Bolton Hall conceived the idea of opening up sixty-acre plot in the Bronx, the northern extremity of New York city as a farming settlement for the summer. The purpose was to dem- onstrate the ease with which a comfort able living may be had out of the soil. and the plan was to give one hundred persons the privilege of cultivating bit of ground. The families were to live Tn tents. It was prophesed that long be- fore the end of summer most of the hun dred persons would fold their tents and steal away, but no such thing happened. Seventeen of the applicants made good their intention from the start of tenting on the ground and some of them declare that they will remain even after the summer season is over. Most of the eigh- ty-three benefciaries of the project spend only a day or two a week there, cultivat- ing their acre or two. The majority or these are well-to-do
 They are raising a little of everything on these miniature farms, every member of the family sharing in the work. Some of the farmers have found it profitable, but financial gain is only one of the many advantages offered. Every family has It's quota of children, and they have had the advantage of good, pure, country air away from the stuffy East Side, or the tenement districts of the West Side. Sew eral invalids in tie colony have been much benefited by their summers experience. As to the financial end of it, the wife of one of the farmers said:
 ''For instance, our share of ground Is one acre, and although my husband has been so busy looking after the other plot holders, furnishing them with seeds. tools, advice, etc. that he has had to neglect his own plot. yet we sold s25 worth of vegetables during the first three weeks of July, besides feeding our own family. And the most paying part of the crop is yet to be sold.
 But suppose one has to pay rent for an acre or two of ground. What then2'
 well. doesn't every family have to pay rent in the city? Pay even as much rent in the country for rooms and a plot of ground, and there is chance of making enough from the plot to pay the rent. anyway. and without asking help from the man of the family who would be free +o do ofher work.

play 1t up to let 1t run for all 1t will stand to pile horror upon horror And to the truth, which was sad enough, was added what was absolutely untrue and absolutely unpardonable. Speaking as one who has been in the newspaper business for fifteen years, and as one who was well acquainted with Stanford White, l can truly say that in those fifteen years l have never known an attack made upon any one as undeserved as unfair, as false as the one made upon him. That within three days the awful charges fell to pieces of their own rottenness did not correct the wrong that had been com mitted, wrong far worse than murder. It was three days too late. Over all this country over Europe, had been sent broadcast the hideous misshpen image of the man we knew to be so different, and the good that Stanford White had done was inferred with his bones. It cannot remain buried. Seeing no other sign of it. I cannot believe that among us fair play is so dead that men will listen to these who attack another only when he is unable either to defend himself or to punish them The just and the fair minded will ask why these charges were made against White only after he was murdered; and, why, if the newspapers knew of these things. they did not crimi- nally fail In their duty to the community In not sooner making them public.
 since his death Stanford White has been described as that beast as a black guard. as an ogre, Bluebeard, and satyr. To answer this by saying he was a great architect is not to answer it at all. He was an architect but what Is more i'm portant Is that he also was most kind hearted. most considerate, gentle and manly man, who no more could have done the things attributed to him than he could have roasted baby on spit
 "For Stanford White l hold no brief He was my friend, and he was kind to mo as he was to many others, and I cannot but believe when the hysteria passes the world will again know him as l knew him: as a big-hearted. generous, gentle man"
 There is no doubt that much of what MT Davis says Is true. But, perhaps, 1t would be nearer the truth to say that MT. White was not as black as he has been painted by his enemies. and not as good as he has been painted by his friend, MT. Davis. The poison, however, has been cause Stanford White left his work upon latter day will hardly have the desired effect. This is peculiarly lamentable, be- cause Stanford White left his wark upon the world in so much that is good and unIifting. Turn in almost any direction in New York, and one will see the monu- ments to Stanford Whites genius as an architect The lofty marble arch to Washington is his. Madison Square Gar den is his, and many other buildings, too numerous for mention here. As MT. Davis asks: 'Is 1t then intelligent to believe that one whose work was nue'

 Throughout her long and varied career her habits have not materially changed They have been saving in the extreme She seldom puts out money in any di- rection without gilt-edged collateral that will guarantee its safe return with in- terest It is not known that she has ever been worsted on any single business transaction.

Hetty Green, Money Lender.

Wall street has lost It's Uncle" Rus sell Sage but 1t has its Aunt" Hetty Green. She is the one person left who goes down into the street and asks: How much do you want and how much will you pay?' If the price is agreeable to her she dips down into her bags and gets the money Tn other words. Aunt" Hetty has succeeded to the post of off, cial money lender to le financial com munity.
 With the possible exception of Russell Sage's widow. Hetty Green is the richest woman in the world. At the age of 70 years she finds herself worth $6000O'OO0. and most of it is in such shape that she can get at it. It is fitting that Mrs Green should take the place occupied for so many years by Russell Sage. for she was one of his greatest admirers, and is much like him in many respects Tn his life time she often said that he was the only sensible man in the world.
 "Her life has been a counterpart or his, said a well known Wall street man.
 "They are both of a feather. She wears cheap skirts, where he wore cheap trou- sers; she wears cheap cloaks where he wore cheap coats she lunches on q doughnut where he lunched on red apple All this, mind you, with an in- come of s5000 a day. Truly the money bug works strange havoc with its vic- tims."
 Hetty Green deals in sure things She is not a gambled in the Wall street sense of the term. Everything she buys Is. on a paying basis. She even buys diamonds when they are cheap and waits for the price to go up. She practically owns the Chemical bank. which pays 150 per cent A year. In It's vaults are millions of ready money, as much, perhaps. as Sage ever handled at one time.
 Hetty Green is a strong-featured wom- an with white hair and keen. penetrating eyes. She is the daughter of New Bedford whaler. whose father at his death Iaft her fortune of several million dol lars to begin life on.
 shortly after her father died one of her aunts also passed away, leaving her several more millions. Thus Hetty Green had a substantial fortune to begin her career on, which her prototype. Russell Sage. never possessed.
 She was not obliged to save the first thousand. and thus acquire habits of thrift and nuriousness. Her instinct were

 IN NEW YORK CITY The So-CaIIed Negro Invasion
 Explained at Last CONSPIRACY OF WHITES
To Depress Real Estate Values for Speculative Purposes-Saratoga Lid Down-Move to Restore
 Stanford Whites Name.
BY sEWELL HAeeARD.

New York. August 11.-(SpeciaD.- secret of the so-called negro invasion which, as told in this correspondence, has been agitating New fork lately Is out at last The so-called invasion con sists of the buying or leasing of flat houses in districts hitherto populated ex- clusively by whites and filling them with negro tenants At first it was given out that a negro real estate firm was be- hind the move which 1t was carefully ex- plained, was purely experimental. It was said that the purpose was to get the blacks out of their thickly populated sections and place them here and there In better surroundings in the hope that 1t would make better citizens of them.
 It has been learned at last that the project Is far from philanthropic in its ob- ject. The move Is a conspiracy, pure and simple, upon the part of certain white real estate spectators to depress the value of property by their unpopular col onization scheme so that they can buy 1t at ridiculously low rates and sell again at a big profit after removing the negroes. Another scheme profitable to them is to force the white neighbors, near a house that has been filled with negroes to buy 1t back at an exhorltant price. An ex- ample of the latter scheme came to light the other day when the residents of a block in One Hundred and Fifty-first street formed an association and pur- chased at high figure a house that had been leased to negroes. The spectators had taken the precaution to put can cellation clause in the lease, so that 1t was worth while for the white residents to buy the property.

A movement Is on foot among the arr lists and architects of the world to re- store the good name of Stanford White, who was killed by Harry Thaw on the Madison Square Roof Garden. under cir cumstances that besmirched his reputa- tion as few men have been besmirched. One of the leaders fin the movement Is Richard Harding Davis, the author and newspaper man. who was close personal friend of the architect.

The recent report of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company to the state roalroad commission shows between the lines an amazing disregard for human life. It re- ports that Ill persons were killed on it's lines in the year ended June 90, 1906, and expresses no further regret than con- graduating itself that no more were killed? This is equal to the number of deaths from all causes in a town of coco inhabitants. The company points out proudly that this years homicldes are not exceptional, but only It's normal record. The year before the company killed nine ty-six persons, or about one to every four million passengers carried. The record this year is III, but ewing to the increase in the number of passengers the proportion of killings remains about the same, Suppose all the street railway companies of the country killed as many people in proportion to the number of passengers carried the slaughter would be something frightful to contemplate.

Lid on at Saratoga.

Saratoga, with its big hotels, it's race tracks and it's gambling Is no more. It has gone back to the time. years ago when there was another Saratoga, the Saratoga that was the site of the Ameri- can honeymoon. In the south there are many families where two or three gen erations have made their wedding trips Ito Saratoga, going or coming by way of Niagara Falls. In those days life was divided between the hotels and the cot tages. Then came race track Saratoga with It's horde of horsemen, touts and followers. In the wake of these came the big gambling houses and the little ones. The pious folk cut the place from their visiting lists, when gaudily dressed wom- en elbowed family parties and the gam blers openly solicited trade in the hotel corridors. The hotels lost their family trade and the religious element of the community began to grumble. H.
 Gambling was stopped for a while, and an effort was made to revive Saratoga s former responsibility The attempt was not a great success. The undesirable men and women stayed away. but the bridal couples did not come to take their places and the hotels cried out for help. So this year the resort began It's season crowded with the people who make the tenderloin in this city what 1t Is. Richard Garfield, whose gambling escapades have filled so many columns of newspaper space, threw open his palatial club house and the smaller gamblers, taking the tip from him that this was to be a wide open season, opened up.
 The reform element protested in vain for day or two. Then they appealed to Governor Higgins, who ordered every gambling house closed. The sheriff faith fully carried out the order, and the lid is screwed down tight in Saratoga once more. But devotees of the wheel and table may take comfort. They can go over to Albany, the state capital, which is only a short distance away, and dolly with dame fortune, for many games are running there right under Governor Hig- gins nose.
