saw as many kiddies in one bunch,
under 10 years of age, as we came in
contact with on this trip, particular
ly in the Jewish and Italian settle
ments. The little rats apparently all
talk pretty fair English and have not
a worry in the world. The enviro-
ment cannot help but be breeding
place TO crime and immortality, and
any boy or girl brought! up on the
lower East Side is carrying a severe
handicap.
We visited the market places and
saw the sort of vegetables, fruit, and
meat which was being rapidly pur-
chased by the throngs around each
booth. Any Sank Centre woman
would be insulted to be offered such
trash. The women do all the buy
ing. 1t is needless to say that these
women are not of the fapper type.
Most of them are "pleasingly plump
full breasted, and some of them were
nursing their babes while bargaining
for the evening meal.
At 1890 o'clock the Merganthaler
Linotype Company were hosts at a
sumptuous lunch at their factory In
Brooklyn. The party left Brooklyn
about 8 100 for trip to Coney Island
where the remainder of the afternoon
and evening was spent. Every fake
show on the Island was thrown open
for the enjoyment of the newspaper
crowd while in the evening they were
given a seafood supper at the Sher-
man Hotel on the beach. During this
banquet a girl "review' was put on
for the edifcation Of the newspaper
men. The Herald editor did not wit
ness this show but we understand
that it was very largely disrobing
contest. A number of the gang were
suffering from "eye strain the next
day, but his was probably caused by
the glaring sun striking the city pave
ment.
Having heard and read much about
"Greenwich Village" we availed our
selves of an opportunity to visit this
section of New York Tuesday eve
ming. 1t is really section of Wash
ington Square. We were escorted to
an Italian joint for the evening meal.
The place was literally patronized,
many of the patrons probably being
from outside of Greater New York
who were attracted there by the no.
toriety of the district. The prices
were decidedly modern. This was
about the only place visited in New
York where the women smoked ciga-
rettes and cigars with an apparent
relish. We are inclined to believe
that we didn't see the village as it
sam" because the thrills one is sup
posed to get by visit there were de-
cidedly lacking.
July 25th was the last day in New
York proper and it was one of the
most interesting days spent in the
city. At $50 o'clock a tug boat car
rying the party left at the foot Of w.
34th Street, for trip down the
North River. Off the battery there
was an exhibition drill by the fire
patrol boats Of New York.

Brooklyn is famous as City of
Churches. Many men most famous
as preachers and pastors have gained
fame and prominence serving Brook
lyn congregations Wednesday morn
ing the editorial party visited two
churches of historic interest. The
first was the Presbyterian church
presided over for years by Henry
Ward Beecher, sturdy friend of the
black man in pro-slavery days and a
brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
author of "Uucle Toms Cabin"
which was read by more peo-
