 NEW YORK, 5an. 1s.-No more interesting or instructive exhibition ever was held in New York is the unanimous opinion expresses by a countless number of men and women who attended the opening of the Child Welfare Exhibit in the Sve- enty-first Regiment armory today. The exhibition will continue several weeks. Its purpose. as set forth in the announcement of the promoters ss to show the modern tendency towards scientific child culture on a gigantic scale and the heroic af- forts being put forth by thousands Of sociological and charitable work CTS to combat the evil effects of con- gestion and resultant conditions on the children Of New York. and to save the city from a weak. unhappy future citizenship"
 The good and evil features of inc moying-pieture show and its amazing development as a form of social en- tertainment are demonstrated by exhibits The candy shop and it's effects on the young, the evils of street-corner loafing and the ire. quenting of public dance halls also are shown. Where and how the children in the tenement districts spend their time are shown effective ly by means of models and photo graphs.
 The brighter side of the exhibition shows suburban and tenement home possibilities, the best methods ol purchasing and preparing foods. and the care, proper clothing and train ing of children. There is also a dag zling toy shop showing the kinds of toys children ought to play with because of their educational value Model roof gardens and public play
 grounds are also given much at. | tention.

NEW VERSION OF CON GAME
Lost OvereORt, PenniIess Sisters, and
the Benevolent Old Gentle
man.

A Poughkeepsie man tells the following
story of a new type of confidence game on
a railroad train:
Two young members OF the sophomore
class at Vassar college entered the draw
ing room car next to the dining car of the
Western Express, fifteen minutes before
the scheduled time of departure. Having
thought II unnecessary to secure seats in
the car in advance, they took temporary
possession OF chairs from which they ex-
pccted at any moment to be politely dis
lodged by claimants duly provided with
the required tickets. and the uncertainty
OF their occupancy was doubtless apparent
to observers In a chair not far away sat
an elderly gentleman, He was regarding
with manifest patriarchal benevolence and
interest the young Vsssarians, when a
young man entered.
Presently the youth turned. and, strid-
ing directly across the car, addressed the
young women hurriedly and softly: Par
don me- he said, is not one of you Miss
Sherwood?'
Answered with a shake OF the head. and
a decided no. the questioner recrossed the
aisle TO where the elderly gentleman still
sat The conversation between them was
renewed but had lasted only a few mo-
ments when the young man once more
started down the aisle As he passed Close
to where the girls were still seated, they
noticed that In his hard was a substantial
looking roll of bills.
"A moment later the train was IN mo
ton. and the young women went into tn,
dining car. The distinguished looking cid
eriy gentleman made his appearance al tn,
