gil, in 1870. and mict with succoss from
the start. Dir. j. n Bates was early
aemltted 70 partnership and the namo
OF q. ". fettengill Go. became proverhial
s- inc leading advertising agency IN the
thttd ntates. Alter many years ol
the hrm unlimited success Mr. Bates

Mf. Ieitengil, thus becoming sole owner
oi tnis large business; but the tim name
continued as j. n. Bates until January

Millions of Passeneere.

How the people of New York City are
prone 10 riding on the street cars, elevated
railways and subways is shown by tho
annual report OF the State Board of Rail-
road Commissioners.
During 1905 the paying passengers of
the surface elevated and underground
transit lines Of New York numbered
LII, ISL $685. an increase Of 03 493, ,45l
or S.25 per cent, over 1904. The total
traffic per day in 1905 was thus 100000.
Reckoning on the population at 100000,
the number Of journeys during the year
per head Of population was approx
mately 2o0 Thus while an S.25 per cent
increase in the number of passengers is
shown, the increase in population was
only 4 per cent.
The effect Of the subway on the elevated
railways is shown by falling off of 49,
6Sl, sos passengers on the latter system,
the total having dropped from 202.646,-
674 in 1904 10 249,065, 1865 in l9O5-a
decrease Of II per cent. That the efforts
Of the traction companies TO discourage
requests for trnsiers have been effective
is shown by the comparatively small in
crease in the number of transfers issued.
Tho total for the city for the year is 272,-
100000, against 27l 100000 in 1904. In
Manhattan there was an actual decrease.

Anarohlat Asansnlns

The discovery by the Spanish authori-
tics of plot to assassinate Tho King Of
Spain and leading members Of the royal
family is evidence that the detesmblo
breed Of anarchist murderors and assassins
still continues TO he a problem for organ
iEed government to deal with
II is impossible for any woll-balanoed
mind to conceive what object can be
hoped for by a resort to brutal and bloody
murder. Surely the killing of the young
King Of Spain would be the shedding of
innocent blood and a move from which
not the slightest good could be expected,
even admitting that the people of Spain
are victims Of royal oppression Vile
murder could not make their oppressors
feel less hostile to them.
But there is no such oppression in
Spain as would justify revolutionary
means, much less a resort to bloody as
sassination. IL must be- therefore, that
the murderous anarchist is simply wild
beast in human form, animated with the
desire to shed blood.
And still il remains a puzzling question
how to deal with this awful form of crime

Chloago's Railway Verdict.

The verdict Of Chicagos voters on the
question of municipal ownership and
operation Of street railways, at yesterday 5
election, was a mixed one.
The proposition that the city shall pro-
coed 10 operate tho street railways re-
ceived a majority OF about 10000 but as "a
90 per cent affirmative vote was required
for it to carry, the proposition failed
But the proposition of $4,000. 600
loan for the purchase, ownership and
operation Of the railways. and that tho
city shall at once proceed. under the
Mueller law, 10 secure the ownership and
operation Of the railways, without grant
ing further franchises, each prevailed by
a substantial majority.
Il may be said, therefore. that the spirit
Of the verdict was decidedly in favor Of
the city acquiring possession of the rail-
ways and generally, although not posi-
lively, in favor Of municipal operation.

The Right 40 Work.

II is pertinent AZ this time, while a
strike Of coal miners is in progress, to
recall this finding Of tho Strike Commits
sion which int6rvened for the purpose Of
settling the great coal strike of 1902:
"lho right 10 remain at work where others
have ceased TO work, or to engage anew
in work which Others have abandoned.
Is part Of the personal liberty Of citizen
that can never be surrendered, and every
infringement thereof merits and should
receive the stern announcement Of the
law.H
Should the strike be protracted It may
be necessary to bring this very important
declaration TO bear upon the situation
And in the event of violent resistance. bv
those who refuse 10 work, to the efforts
Of those who desire 10 work, the forces of
the law will have TO be employed for the
vindication of the great principle so force

make our reviying lawns in early April

The Quaintest and daintiest effects
are to be secured by scattering crocus
bulbs in the lawn. You can stick them
In the grass this fall BY using a stout
nat "diober," which bends aside the sod
until the bulb Is planted, and then allows
the sod TO come back INTO place without
leaving dirt on the lawn or making un-
slightly holes.
Next spring. II you are willing TO do
some lodging with the lawn-mower
rou can avoid cutting the crocus leaves
until the middle Of May. when they turn
yellow. which Is sign that they are
ripening. (Any unripened bulb viii give
poor flowers next year,
OF course, you cannot expect crocuses
to last as many years in a lawn as In
bed by themselves. where they have
no competition. But who would be-
grudge S5 cents every three years for
100 crocuses, when one has the chance Of
creating so sweet and charming home
picture?
Once upon a time I bought 1000 cro-
cuses. Ihad the time Of my life, and II
