Subway Fares.
Two Kinds of Cars and Two Differ
ent Rates Suggested.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Much
discussion has been INDUCED in regard
ing the five cent fare on the INTERIOR
ough lires. 1t has been practically con-
ceded that the FIVE cent rate is not suffl-
cient for maintaining the system at any
degree of efficiency. 1t Is likewise con-
ceded that an increased fare would work
hardship upon wage earners.
The only solution to the problem is
to have Glass A and Glass cars. Run
one Glass A coach for every three Class
Z coaches. A train OF four cars would
be made up of one A car and three B
cars. train of eight cars of six Bs
and two AS.
All subway and elevated tickets should
be sold at five cents each. One ticket
gives entrance to Class b car. Should
the passenger desire Class A service he
tenders another ticket to the guard at
the Glass A coach entrance. making his
fare. ten cents. The passenger could
keep his extra ticket in his pocket should
Class cars be overtaxed or Class B
cars not filled the passenger would not
have TO pay more than a nickel unless
he so desired.
Any person who could afford II would
gladly pay the extra nickel for seat
and improved service. especially on a
trip OF four. SIX or ten miles.
Theoretically this ratio of one to three
would work out 20 per cent. increase in
gross, but il we reduce that to is per
cent, deduct per cent. for the i'm
proved Class A cars, &C., we would have
left II per cent in gross to be applied
as net. or around $6,00o,e00 a year.
which is about what seems necessary
to keep the marlborough functioning.

Conditions in Peru.
Consul. General Higginson Describes
President Leguia's Reforms.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Some
recent statements regarding Peruvian
conditions and finances are absolutely
at variance with the facts and likely
to create a false impression. One in
particular. written by a man who is
we'll known to be a political enemy Of
the present President and Administra-
ton of Peru, endeavors to show that
a loan Of $5o,ooo,o0o to Peru Is not
feasible from an economic viewpoint.
It Is we'll at this point to make the
first correction, namely. that the pro-
posed loan to Peru will be for about
$4,000, 900, the total amount to be in
creased to s5o.ooo.ooo only when the
revenue from the customs duties shall
have equaled or exceeded, for a preced-
ing i've year period, an average Of two
and one-half times the amount required
to pay the annual interest and sinking
fund charges. With this very impor-
tant correction the amount would be
as follows:
Sinking FUND. 4 per cent. s4o0ooo
Interest, 8 per cent. ........... 100000
s5 premium on bonds redeemed. 10000
=
This Is s4.sso,ooo less than the
amount calculated on loan Of $50, 000,-
900. In a like manner all subsequent
calculations, based on a loan of s50,o00,-
600 instead of $1o.000,000 err in sim
liar proportion.
Exception is likewise taken to certain
statements to the effect that the GUS
toms service of Peru Is about to be
subjected to the control of a foreign
company as security for the proposed
loan. IL Is true that the revenues from
the customs service are to be assigned
as security for the loan, but the actual
administration and control OF the SER
vice remains In all its branches in the
hands OF the Peruvian Government.
Tho services of william Wilson Cum
berland. formerly trade adviser to the
State Department In Washington. were
contracted for by President Leguia prior
to the proposed loan and not In contem-
plation OF II. and his engagement was
effected for the purpose of reorganizing
the customs service OF the country along
more modern lines. Mr.. Cumberland is
not the employee OF a foreign company

self. Il. A. Pezet, the Peruvian Ambas-

Some time ago there was small out

the port of Iquitos, which is on the
upper Amazon River and outside of he

by any means serious and there has
been no repetition of the incident. Dec

 Besides her writings, Mrs. Cor nelius is very skillfu1 with her kodak, and with her artists perception of what Is charming or attractive when portrayed, makes many charming photographs, She has sold to maga- zines many scenes which she has chosen and photographed and which have been used for illustrations in magazine stories
 At the Alabama State Fair last fall it was Mrs. Cornelius beautiful booth, with it's display of fancy work, which by its charming arrangement, won the prize in the woman's exhibit.
 So beautiful was this booth that the editor of the Modern Priscilla, the leading magazine devoted to fancy work and women's dainty needlework designs, wrote for a picture of the booth and a description of it's con tents.
 With her talents Mrs. Cornelius combines lovely graces of womanly characteristics. Her home shows the hand of efficiency and her children think of her as boon companion and shower her with gifts on Mothers Day and other such occasions.
 Her poem, Our Ships" reproduced from the Philadelphia Farm Journal, beautifully expresses the idea that one who wishes to receive must first give:
 We watch the restless tides.
 And wait the happy day When all our dream ships coming in
 Shall anchor in the bay. But we shall watch in vain,
 And many vigils keep, If we have sent no craft abroad
 To sail upon the deep. For we must launch and load
 Our ships; and send them far, Before we sigh for homing ships
 nd watch the harbor bar.'
