/ EAGLES Net Nice Sum.-Eagles are
happy, for the reward of their hard
work during the last week proves to
| be a handsome one. Fifteen hundred
dollars is the net profit of the Eagles
fair. and the aerie's building fund is
swelled by that amount. An equal
amount has been raised on previous oc-
casions, and now $4,000 is on hand to
apply on the building which the Eagles
will some day erect. This large profit
lis beyond the most sanguine hopes of
the men who worked to make the fair
a success. The extension of the time
of the fair over Labor day was an eX-
cellent move and added to the profits
of the week.

The president of the American ice
company announces that the danger Of
an ice famine is past, that half of the
normal supply Of ice has been gathered
from the Hudson, and that the full
crop will have been taken in by the
end OF this month, If the weather holds.
The Maine crop already is all in, that
is, all that the American ice com
pany expects TO harvest there, un-
less there is an unexpected failure else
where"
When next we think TO complain Of
the severity of the winter this season,
let Us remember the consoling inform
alton that the American Ice company
has impaired. It is evident that there
is SO much more OF an ice crop in
Maine already than it is necessary 10
harvest that there will be no want OF
ice next summer Let us hope that
this information carries with it the
promise of lower prices for ice, a fact
which unhappily has not always fol-
lowed the condition Of an abundant
harvest

Those who plan hotels for women in
this city seem 10 aim at decreasing
instead of increasing the rates. For
instance, in the first of the women's
hotels which came to stay the mini
mum cost of living is about Sl2 a week.
At the Trow- Mart Inn for working wo-
men under 81 and earning Sl2 or less a
week. the charge for a room and two
meals day is from S. TO $3.50 a week.
At another hotel intended for work
ing girls-a hotel projected by Mrs.
Clarence Burns and some others, and
which is so far under way that the
bylaws have been drawn up and stock
at s. a share sold TO n few friends OF
the enterprise-the weekly charge for
room and three meals day will be
from 50 To $3.50. '.
The proprietors Of this enterprise
believe that the hotel with rates OF SO
and $3.50 a week is what New York
needs most. and will continue to need
so long as the present low rates Of
wages continues to be paid TO women
who make boxes, artificial flowers,
bead work and cigarettes. who work In
twine factories and at other trades in
which s. is considered n good weekly
wage for women employees nnd in
which the average earnings are from
81 20 81 a week. while beginners get
from $3.50 to s2.75.

One woman was found unconscious in

who were suCCumbing to the cold were

to these shorn lambs of poverty, and
not much more kind to those who had
the means to get to cover. a curious
case was that OF dentist, who slip
ped on the ice and fell, injuring his
head, and whose hands and feet mar

ance could be rendered him. The cold
combined to make thousand way

not strike this great city again.

The Mexican newspapers are now
seeking New York advertisements. and
the Monterrey News is represented by
a bright young woman Miss May Cres-
SEM who is very successful. 1t seems
strange, but many people can remem-

bloody battle during the Mexican war
and how buCh better are the results Of
peace Miss Cresson, who is from the
States, says that Mexico is Offering a
fine opening for industry and enter

will try it, During the past year more
han 100 of this class, who have shared
the benefits of the Newsboys' Lodging

ness of an Objectionable character are
to be allowed and the scheme bears

There is a little lunch cart stationed

who furnishes no end of amusement

less one happens to be initiated at the
very start he's apt to be a little bit en-

PRODUCTION II seems that the proprie-
tor Is n very clever yentriiOquist, and
time after time he has filled his pat
rons with wonder by calling through
the counter or tube to an imaginery
cook below, and making that same
cook reply in way that sends his
hearers into perfect uproars.
The other night a trio Of belated
Harvard men wandered into the cart
and, after inspecting the dozen differ
ent menus tackled upon the walls, IL
nally called for "porterhOuse steak
with onions, and coffee" The order
nearly took the presiding genius of
his feet at first, but rising TO the occa-

wrath Of the students when back came
the answer: 'Wot dye think this place
is? The Parker House?" Needless TO
say the trio didn't wait for the order
TO be filed.

One OF the events OF the new year
in the Metropolis is the opening of
the Brooklyn tunnel. The Brooklyn
bridge was expected TO fill public de-
mand, but ii is SO crowded that a
tunnel is necessary, while the ferries
once SO thronged are now deserted.
These ferries, which beginning with
one, reached half a dozen, were the
sole way of crossing for more than
200 years, and hence were supposed to
be perpetual but the march Of prog
ress has rendered them obsolete.
For the benefit of those who adyo-
cate the government holding Of all
public conveyance, it is stated that the
Brooklyn ferry for its first two CEN
turtles was a city monopoly, whose prof
its were devoted to the payment of
public expenses or in common par
lance, the ferry ran the city. In 1907
an effort was made by Cornelius See
bring TO establish another ferry, but
il was refused because as the city au
thortes claimed, that the ferry was
their "Only income 10 support public
buildings, jails. fire and candles for
the watch, salaries for the officers, bell
men, etc, and TO defray other neces-
sary charges for the said city" The
question now arises, How many ferries
would be required to run" the present
New York?
