the Track to BE Elevated structure.
ALBANY. March IS-New compromise
legisla tion was introduced tonight by
Senator Martin SAKE and Assemblyman
Bohan which it is expected will pass at
this session and eventually secure the re-
moval Of the New York Central tracks on
Eleventh avenue in New York city. The
law passed last year provided for the re-
moval Of the tracks unless an agreement
was reached between the city authorities
and the corporation within year, which
will expire on March 28. When Senator
SAKE introduced the new bill tonight
it was referred 10 the Cities Committee
and he expressed the hope that the bill
could be passed before MAJ IN %.
The bill is the result Of the conference
had between the representatives of the
Committee of Fifty and the Rapid Transit
Commissioners. the Mayor and the Board
Of Estimate. II provides for a subway
between ThiTteth street and SiXty-secon1
street, with accommodations for six tracks,
all to be constructed at the expense Of the
New York Central railroad company;
from Seventy second street to l22d street
and from li8th street TO Spuyten nuyvil
the tracks will be walled up at the expense
Of the railroad company and covered over
at the expense Of the city out of the money
to be paid by the railroad company for the
right of way 10 be granted west Of the
present tracks; between l22d street and
l46th street an elevated structure will he
erected 10 meet the grade and to permit
the intervening streets TO have a clearance
10 the river front. Electricityis the motive
power provided for in the bill to be used
for the operation Of trains.
The railroad company s to have three
months from the enactment Of the law in
which to file its plans and TO make an agree
ment with the Board of Estimate embOdy-
ing the terms under which the improve
ment is to be carried out, which agree
ment must provide that the work shall be
completed within four years.
As to the route below Thirtieth street,
the measure provides that within eight
months after the bill becomes a law the
New York Central Railroad Company shall
submit plan for the improvement other
than by an elevated structure, which il
specifically prohibited The measure also
specifically provides that nothing in the
act shall he deemed 10 validate any fran
Chses which have expired and retains all

ORIGIN OF CHINESE LILIES.
Story as Told and How the Bulbs
Brought Good Luck.

Very few people who see and admire
the beautiful Chinese lilies know the
reason why this particular flower is
held in such favor In the orient. This
is the story of the origin as told by a
Chinaman.
Years and years ago a member Of
the celestial empire had two wives
whom he loved dearly because each
had borne him a son. While they were
still lads the father died and in set
Ting up the estate some difficulty was
encountered. for the man left his heirs
two pieces of land, n a strip lying in
a fertile and beautiful valley, the
other a small ribbon of land bordering
h bed of a narrow stream. The for
mer land was known to grow anything
the country produced, while the latter
was counted utterly worthless.
1t was at first proposed that each Of
the two strips be divided in half and a
section Of each be given to the two
heirs. But the mothers could not agree
upon the division and 1t was finally
arranged that one son should take the
rich land. while the other should take
the sterile piece.
The valley strip yielded bountiful
harvests season after season and the
rocky n gave nothing until one day
the boy owner happened to notice a
tiny white, sweet-scented flower
blooming among the rocks and after
9 careful study and examination It was
found to be the only mi Of its kind in
China. The flower grew from e bulb

bulbs could be transplanted to similar.

When a man has established a
home, has a wife and children,
the most important duties of his
life have fairly begun. The err
rors of his youth may be oblitera-
ted, the faults of his earlier days
may be overlooked, but from the
moment of his marriage he COM
mences to write an ineffable his
tory /; not by pen and ink, but by
deeds, by which he must ever af-
forwards be reported and Judged.
His conduct at home, his care for
his family, the training of his
children, his attention to his wife,
his devotion to the great interests
of eternity these are the tests by
which his character will ever af-
forwards be estimated by all who
think or care about him. These
will determine his position while
living, and influence his memory
when the grave has closed over
him. And as he uses well or ill
the brief space allotted to him out
of all eternity, to establish a fame
founded upon the most solid of
foundations - private worth-s so
will God ano man Judge of him.
He holds in his hands the private
veal and woe of his wife and chill
dren, and if he abuses this most
holy, God given trust, he cannot
hope for mercy hereafter. Many
a child goes astray, simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine. Many
a wife esteems death her best
friend, because he who swore be-
fore God to Glove, honor and cher
ish" has forgotten his vows.
