SUBVAYS At LAST.

The decision Of the Court Of Appeals
upholding the proposed contract of the
city for new subways with the INTERIOR
ough and Brooklyn Rapid Transit com
panieS clears away the last obstacle to
the construction of the two new rapid
transit systems
The Tribune has held from the begin
ming that the scheme for preferential
payments TO the companies was conSu-
tutional, and believed that there was no
merit in the contention that these pay
mpnts amounted TO a loan Of the City's
credit. The companies were throwing
into the city's system railroads con-
structcd and owned by them, and the
preferential payments were fairly to be
construed AS part Of the compensation
for these properties and their earning
capacity. This view the Court Of APP
pealS uphOldS.
Differences Of opinion will doubtless
persist as TO the excellence Of the bar
gains made on behalf Of the city. But
there is reason 10 believe that the Pub
lie Service Commission secured the best
terms possible under the conditions
which existed. Perhaps better bar
gain could have been made If the mat
ter had been forced 10 an earlier set
Element, but the negotiations which
the Mayor undertook on his own ac-
count caused great delay and put It in
the power Of the corporations to increase
their exactions. The past IS past. how
ever and New York can afford 10 rejoice
I'm the certainty that It will really have
the new subways, even at a high price.
If the officials all heartily unite now to
push the work with the utmost rapidity.
the long pickering and delay will be for
gotten and forgiven.

The decree Of the Superintendent OF
Schools in Cook County, H., that no.
body shall be permitted TO teach who &C
cepts a salary Of less than $50 month
is probably an ingenious device for COM
polling the raising Of salaries to that
minimum. Thereby teachers will be pro-
hibited, under penalty Of losing their
licenses, from accepting places in schools
where lower salaries are paid. At the
same time the schools must have teach
ers, and they must have them with valid
licenses. Therefore, the school boards
must raise all salaries at least to the fig
ure required by the county superin
tendent.

Glass PAVING Fails.

Seven or eight years ago q plant
was established at La Demie Lune, a
suburb about four miles from Lyons,
for making glass paving material.
After many experiments carried out
at the factory, the manufacturer ap-
piled to the Lyons municipality for
the right to make a trial on one OF the
chief thoroughfares. The necessary
authorization was granted, provided
that the inventor would bear the en-
tire expense of the undertaking. The
place chosen for laying the glass
pavement was a section Of the Place
de la Republique, where traffic of
cabs. automobiles and wagons OF all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained In place for less than two
years, and were then taken out. as
they were In very poor condition. The
edges were all broken, and in many
cases the blocks were split through
and through. The opinion Of officials
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un-
der favorable circumstances for foot
paths. but not for the middle Of.
streets.

CRITIC "WROTE UP" WEDDING
His Regular Line Was the Drama and
Customary Style Showed In
His Work.

In the absence of the regular soci-
ETY. reporter the dramatic critic of the
Daily Doings was detailed to cover a
wedding. "Il do the best + can" he
said, "but l feel sure I shall make a
mess of It,"
This is what he turned in-omitting
the preliminary remarks about the
size of the house and the delay in be-
ginning the performances:
"Mr. Barker, in the role of the
bridegroom, acted the part in q stiff
yet listless manner. He has a good
stage presence, but mars the effect by
a total lack Of animation and an al
most inaudtble voice. Miss Perkins,
as the bride. was much more effective.
Her costume was b~ewildering, yet
true to life. If one may venture to
criticize, her effort to overcome her
obvious stage fright was a trife too
evident. She was in good voice, how
ever, and her enunciation vas clear
and distinct.
ut must be pointed out that both
Miss Perkins and Mr.. Barker were
deficient in their lines, and had to be
prompted almost constantly by the
Rev. Henry Harper. who, as the Off
ciating clergyman, was decidedly the
star OF the performances"

FARMER HIS OWN BUTCHER
That Wa the oId-Fashloned Plan
and One Writer Considers 1t
a Good O:se.

A contributor says that every farm
er ought to make his own meat. At
present. he says, many are buying
meat at from %thirty-fve to fifty per
cent. above the cost. The time has
returned, he claims, when it will not
only pay every farmer to raise his own
meat, but to cure it for family use and
for sale besides. He goes on:
Five million dollars a year spent
for meat that might have been raised
on the farm, and the money kept at
home, is Kansas record. And it is u
mistake. 1t shows we are advancing
backward in some things.
"The good old %butchering days of
our fathers ought to return, and with
them a full knowledge of how to cure
the meat in various ways, so when
the fresh was gone, We should have

eastern farms have followed, and to-

slice of salt pork that is not got from

LAUGH WAS ON PROFESSOR
Interchange of Wit Closed the Con-
troversy With the Honore
More Than Even.

At the banquet given by the class
in salesmanship and advertising of
the Y. M. G. A., Department Secretary
Miller told a little story of his Oberlin
college days.
1t happened in the chemistry class,
and the professor had just asked Mil
Ter to define gravity. The somewhat
hurried definition contained the word
pull" and this irritated the instruc-
tor. He declared there was no such
energy in nature as pull. Wheraupon
Miller undertook to illustrate his def.
milton by lifting a chair to the level of
his chin and then thrusting 1t straight
out.
"One is push; the other pull" he
said.
Here was the professors chance.
L have long suspected" he said,
that Miller considers his chin the
center of gravity!"
h laugh that followed was loud
and long, the professor leading, and
then Miller subsidized.
But when the merriment died away
a young woman in the front row
caught the professors attention.
I would like to ask a question:"
she said.
Yes, Miss Myers, what is it?"
The young woman spoke up very
clearly.
Il want to ask whether you would
push or pull a radish?"
And that closed the controversy

MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN RACE
Admittedly the Fly Has No Sense,
But Is Mankind Really Far
SUPERIOR

1T Is a mighty good thing for the
people of this country" says Abe Pc
tiers, that the fly hasn't any sense. A
fly will walk deliberately into any sort
OF a trap with Its eyes wide open. Put
down a piece of sticky fly paper and
pretty soon a dozen flies are fast on it.
That isn't SO remarkable, but every
one of them kick and struggle as long
as 1t lasts, telling every other fly that
it Is In trouble.
Naturally, n would suppose that
the other flies, seeing what the first
dozen had got into, would keep away,
but they don't. The more flies get
stuck on the paper, the more the 9TH
ers want to get IN. 1t Is so with any
sort Of trap. You can't fix up anything
in the nature of a trap that a fool fly
won'tfall for. If 1t wasn't for the fact
that a fly can raise a family inside of
a week, and that a baby fly on Monday
morning may be the great-grandmoth-
er of a million flies before Saturday
night, the tribe would have been ex-
tinguished long ~
"And yet, come to think 1t over, I
don't know but that flies show about
as much sense as a lot of humans. The
fool humans keep walking into traps
with their eye wide open year after
year, and don't seem to learn much of
anything from either observation or
experience. Every time l see a young
fellow just throwing himself away and
running all his chances forever of
amounting to anything and doing it
with his eyes wide open, 1 say to my
self, We'll, l guess there are a good
many of us humans who haven't any
more sense than so many fool fes.'"-

TURKS ENJOY HORSE RACING
nople Proved Exceedingly
Popular.

An enormous and motley crowd
gathered on the beautiful plain Of Veil
Effendi, on the shores Of the Mar
mora, to witness the first horse races
of the Ottoman metropolis. The day
was magnificent, the weather propi-
tious and the people at the height of
their festive mood. The Moslems
had seen horse races before.
To them it was in every way a new
spectacle, and to all It was q real
sign Of advancing times.
Among the many thousands Of spec
tators women predominated. Hours
before the show they came from every
quarter with baskets OF provisions, in
tending to spend the whole day in gaz-
ing at any chatting over the events of
the day. The groups OF Turkish "han.
Gums" in their bright, m~ulti-colored
tcharshafs, feredjehs and yashmaks
were picturesque in the highest de-
gree.
The ladies of the imperial harem
watched the races from their car
riages. The sultan was fatigued and
did not attend and his absence was a
great disappointment to performers
and spectators alike. Many Of the
diplomatic body were present on spe-
cially constructed platforms and large
numbers of the most elegant elements
of the European quarter also attend
ed.
There were six races, and the high
est prize, 100 Turkish liras, was won
by Lieut.. Djelal Effendi, a smart off,
Ger who rode a beautiful Arab horse,

chase, in which only two officers par

winner.
