Another Survey Made.

The n. c. & St. L. Railroad Co.
again had a corps Of surveyors in
Hickman this week running a line
for their tracks from East Hickman
around the southern part Of the city.
The chief engineer informed a Cour-
Ter reporter that from the present
indications the company would prob.
ably be forced 10 make the change,
since the river is gradually en-
croaching upon the rightotvay.
Il is true that the maintenance Of
the track at its present location is
getting 10 be more expensive each
year, and /, is only a question Of
time when they will be forced TO
abandon the old route. This sur
vey has been made several times
heretofore. but nothing further done.
Nov, It is getting 10 be a case Of ne
cessity and other steps will doubtless
follow ere long but not, however,
until they are compelled 10 make

tracks are brought in on the south
side, 1t will naturally follow that the
depot, switches, ETC., will also be
changed.

The great majority of people have to
work, and work hard, to earn living. There
is no escape from this stern reality. Inevi-
tably along with this, however, there arises
preliminary question, namely, to earn a
living for what? For his mere physical sub
sistence? imperiously necessary as this is.
How about earning, along with it, a
living for his soul, for his sense of self, re-
spect, his integrity, his pride in his calling,
his fellow-feeling with others?
How, on the contrary, about earning
or rather getting-a living in ways that CEN

Why are there so many divorces, many un-
happy marriages here in New York and elsewhere
I'll tell you why. It's the system of things New
York women and women everywhere else in the coun-
try, too, have only themselves to blame There are
plenty of men who treat their wives like brutes, to be
sure but there is another side to the question.
People do not wed nowadays great many of
them-from the holier standpoints of absolute love
for another. They marry for position; they mar
ry for money After a while life with this kind of
a partner becomes irksome. "Whatsoever a man SOW

new YORK TO BUILD
BIG SHIP TUNNEL
Latest Project of the City of Tunnels
Is Hole Under the Palisades
To Relieve Harbor Con-
gestion.

New York, June 5.-While New
York already has, either built or pro-
jected, about all the ordinary varie-
ties of tunnels, a decidedly novel
project in this line is being pushed
vigorously. This is a scheme for a
snip tunnel to be carried under the
Palisades of the Hudson to connect
the river with the city of Passaic on
the river of the same name in New
Jersey.
Passaic, although twelve miles from
Manhattan at present. would thus be-
come seaport and the plans for the
proposed tunnel call for an UNDER
ground waterway that would accom-
modatc all but the largest ocean
steamships. The proposal is put for
ward Or marlly to afford better ship
ping facilities for manufacturing
plants which are being driven out Of
the present city limits by the growing
cost Of real estate and the fact that
sites with direct water o" ~ail con-
nection are no longer to be had here.
1t is a striking indication OF the
growth Of New YOrk's commcr~ that
although the harbor frontage is more
than four hundred miles in extent
the pinch OF congestion In dock factl-
itios is beg uninE - be seriously felt
Vast plans for the enlargement of the
available water area, such a. the
decping Of Jamaica bay, and the con-
struction of the New Jersey ship tun-
mel must be carried out, say the cN-
perts, or else New York must lose her
present commercial and manufactur-
ing supremacy. The possibility Of
adding 20 the other experiences OF an
ocean voyage a trip IN a brilliantly
lighted submarine tunnel AT the Now
York end Of the journey is one that
may 6e realized within the next few
years
