CHURCH POSSIBILITIES.

The minister of a church in nearby city
has established Sunday evening smokers al
his church, for men only, at which all VINO
wish smoke pipes, cigars or cigarettes during
the service, the minister himself setting the
encouraging example by punctuating his dis
course with whiffs on cigarette. In Chicago,
apparently mindful of the matrimonial or anti
matrimonial reputation formerly possessed by
that city, minister has decided to open at
his church counting room.' equipped with
cosey corners sofas built for two, dim lights
and other conveniences for the sentimentally
inclined. in which it is hoped there will be
sown seed which will presently produce a
plentiful harvest of wedding fees. In still
another church there is enterprising insist
ence upon the utility. If not the essential neces-
sity, Of games and amusements, incudngc cards
and dancing, to be INDUCED in within the
church edifice itself, adjuncts to the Sun
day school, for the purpose of Installing serious
thoughts into frivolous minds and leading the
worldly into ways of grace.
Such developments of ecclesiastical enter
prise are an earnest of the multifarous activf-
ties of which an up-todate church may be
capable Not long ago the institutional
church was thought to be very advanced
when it provided library, reading room, kin
dergarten, sewing school and the like. But
all that is now quite old-fogyish and out Of
date Nor is it to he supposed that the auspi-
cious movement will stop there. The progress
which has already been made suggests the
possibility of almost illimitable further de-
velopment. One of these days some daring
innovator NAV make the experiment of adding
a Bible class or prayer meeting some re-
ligious service. Indeed. there are already those
who hint that It would he just appropriate
to preach the Gospel in church as to- dance the
two-step or to play bridge.

TRAFFIC NOT TOTTTNG.

The motor omnbuses on Fifth avenue a
great improvement upon their dilatory and
dilapidated predecessors. They are also a
somewhat more agreeable means of intraurban
travel than most others To which Manhattanites
have been accustomed. For these reasons we
suppose that the public generally has kind
feeling for them and regards their prosperous
operation without grudging. and indeed with
pleasure. We should certainly he reluctant to
exut in any occurrence adverse TO their legit-
innate interests At tine same time could not
regard with favor any abuse of their privileges
nor could we hold some imaginary interests of
their propretors 10 he vested rights superior RI
all principles of civic policy For this cause we
must welcome as reasonable Just and for the
welfare of the public the decision of the Appel
late Division Of the Supreme Court. Just an
nounced affirming a judgment of the Special
Term against the assumed right of the pro
prietors 10 display advertising signs on the
outsides Of those umnibuSes.
The case was a perfectly simple one The
civ compIained that the display Of signs was
a violation of an ordinance. The court held
that such was the case. and that the omnibus
company had sufficient defence, nasmuch as
the displaying Of such signs was not a neces
sary incident Of its business. That is TO say,
the company was chartered 10 operate omni-
huses for the conveyance Of passengers and 1t
had right 10 do all Things necessary 10 tnat
end but nothing more. Thus signs telling the
rate of fare and the route and destination of
the vehicles might be considered necessary for
the information of passengers and therefore an
essential part of the machinery OF transporta-
ton: but the advertising of articles Of mer-
chandise or Of businesses entirely unconnected
with the work Of transporting travellers could
not thus be considered. 1t foreign to the
purposes for which the company had received
its franchise. and when il was so done as to
violate municipal ordinance II could be
stopped.
The decision is to he welcomed, partly in that
1t will protect the finest thoroughfare of this
city from perlpatetic Disagreement and partly In
that ii affords salutary and much needed con-
firInatim of the homely principle that the shoe
maker should stick TO his last-that is TO say,
that corporations enjoying public franchises
should cOnfine their operations 10 the scope pre-
scrjbed by those franchises. When man Is
licensed 10 practise law he is not, therefore,
titled 10 practise medicine also. When
marathon receives license TO run coaches for
the transportation of passengers IL is not
thereby licensed TO conduct q general advertis-
ing business. Traffic is not toutlng. 1t is by
no means certain that the display Of advertis-
ing signs inside omnibuses and cars might not
nroDerly be forbidden violation of privi-
Ieoe hut when such display is made obtru-
sively and extensively, on the exterior of the
vehicles, in CONFIRMATION Of sn ordinance. the

New York City will doubtless manage to jog
along, even if it's aldermen do not build public
lighthouses. And yet summer heat will be less
oppressive to many if the petition Of the City
Club and the Metropolitan Parks Association IS
hearkened to. The proposal made by these or
CARNATIONS to the Board of Park Commission
ers would be above criticism If the prospects OF
the city treasury were worth 30 cents. Cen
uine benefits would be conferred by the con-
struction of a few cheap lighthouses, public an
chorages and landings, which would draw a
patronage many times as large as the public
golf links do. In it's failure to provide for
aquatic sports the metropolis lags behind many
smaller cities less favorably placed, and this
failure is brought into sharper relief by the leas-
ing of valuable public waterfronts TO private
clubs and hotels. If the new plan can be car
ried out with funds raised from future conces-
sionaires, it is worth listening to.

THE TENNESSEE EXPLOSION.

No me can read the story of the accident
on the cruiser Tennessee without q psng of
the lveliest sympathy for the men who were
its victims. The unhappy event has its miti-
eating features, however. The number of suf
ferers was much smaller than those from
somewhat similar explosion off the coast of
California three years ago. No fewer than one
hundred aud forty men were injured the
Remington. nearly half of them fatally, and
only fourteen on the Tennessee. The difference
r1sv prorery be attributed 10 the dsSmIarity
In the boilers of the two vessels. The Rennng
inns was ike that Of a locomotive. which has
Gre inside the tubes and water outside, the water
0nd steam being stored in one huge reservoir. In
hoilers ,f The kind in use in modern Harships
the water is inside the tube and the fire outside
If a break occurs in such boiler il is usually
limited 10 a single tube and is not attended
by such disastrous consequences as the burst
ing of the shell of Scotch boiler An add
tional safeguard is afforded by the subdivision
OF the steam generating apparatus into small
units and the Enclosure of each group Of tubes
in lis own compartment. The Tennessee had
sixteen such rooms In the possibility Of get
ting up steam more quickly than would other
wise be possible the water tube boiler has It's
chief recommendation In lessening the effects
Of an explosion there ia evidently another.
Further occasion for satisfaction is fur
nished Toy the heroic behavior or the oincerS
and men of the Tennessee. 1t should be noted,
TOO that courage and discipline In an unfore-
seen emergency are not quite Identical with
the qualities displayed in battle, for which
there is ample time FOR mental and moral
ureparation. The bravery OF soldiers and sail
ors under fire is deservedfy the subject Of ma
fionai pride and universal admiration. May
moi the humane instincts and devotion 10 duty
which cannot be surprised into momentary
failure he justly rated more highly?
Until something more definite is known about
1lc cause Of the explosion on the Tennessee

Money is powerful in American life; but money

TO show confidence In him. The legislators who arc
political power and prestige, and they know H.
Their only hope in this fight is to disgust him
with politics. SO that he may not run again for
Governor. And Governor Hughes probably realizes
this as well any machine manager doss; and
knowing it. he may be expected to consent to run
another term as Governor If he does the machine
