GLEANINGS.

The British Women's Emigration Association re-
ports that an unusually large number OF gentle
women have been assisted during the last year
70 go to the Northwest Provinces of Canada and
British Columbia, after a preliminary training in
the socetys colonial home. to be lady home help
ers." The society does not attempt to export real
comestics. for they too desperately needed al
home whereas there are great many women OF
good family and education for whom there seems
no place there. In the newly settled sections Of
Canada such an employe suffers no social ostra-
cism and is soon carried away to a home OF her
own.
The women teachers Of Sonervie, Mass are as
oiscoatented as those OF New York and have late
ly gone the warpatb for higher wages They
have not had their salaries raised for twenty
and meantime the OF living has gone uD
enormously. The teachers presented twenty-seven
yards OF petitions from the citizens OF SomervlIe
IN support Of their plea, but the city fathers
clared they had money. Later these same
fathers voted $4,000 out OF tho city treasury to put
monument to the soldiers who fell the Civil
War.

EAST SIDE al" EXPRESSES.
Inter.-Met. May Build More Tracks
on Third or Second IUe. Line.

In regard to the possible construction Of tracks
for express trains the East Side elevated roads.
II said Yesterday at the Offices OF the Inter
borough Metropolitan Company that the company
would be glad TO cooperate IN this way with the
Public Service Commission. President Shonts.
when he first took up his duties. said the building
OF an additional track or tracks Of the

To build TWO extra tracks for express trains on
either the Second or Third avenue elevated. II IS

an additional subway would take probably five
years 10 complete. The cOmpany's figures show
that tho number OF passengers carried on the
Third avenue elevated IS increasing at the rate
Of million a month. Mr.. Shonts believes
that II two additional tracks for express trains
were placed IN Second avenue from 23d street TO
tho terminus l2sth street. where there is CON
neotion with the Third avenue line much Of tho
traffic by of the latter line would be deieced
TO the Second avenue line. II any Application Is
made in the near future 70 the Public Service

The express track tho Third avenue elevated
now from 42d street TO l29th street There
are also some stretches OF third track used Tor
sidings between 9Th and 3Ith streets. Heretofore
the InterborouEh has found that the general sem
timent Of the people living the upper East Side
and across the Harlem has been for express tracks

tho additional structure. Below I'D street. where
the Second avenue line turns into First avenue and
continues through the lower East Side. II would
be impracticable 10 place two more tracks.
The laying OF two additional tracks Third
avenue would mean the shifting Of the present
third track from AID street TO l29th street. The
1nterbOrough would probably prefer leave things

ond avenue is much wider than Third ana rs
the traffic in Second avenue IS not congested

be accomplished there much moro easily.

however. he may take under consideration the Cling
mission for permission 10 build express tracks.
With Nice-President Bryan he Is now considering
the placing Of electric fans in the subway cars
