In 1804 The World also printed the largest number of advertisements ever _eppearing in one year in any newspaper im America, The average circulation per week-<day was 482,638, and the ‘average per Sunday (no evening edi- tion) was 323,471. The figures for the latter months were much larger than those given above, for The World has grown during the months of 1804 as it has grown uring the years of ita present propri etorship. Indeed, in November ite fverage per weck-day was over halfa million, and in December its Sunday ‘Gverage was 350,550. The World’ weekday gain in circulation over last year was 58,890 per day, and its qin over three vears ago was 152, - @70. It increased per Sunday 57,-| 408 in one year, and 88,951 in three years. Ite gain in number of advertise. ments over 1803 was 13,573, and. ite gain over 1991 was 126,481. The total number of advertise. | ments printed in The World in| 1804 waa 910,087. The Herald, its’ wearest competitor, printed 747,188 im the same period, The World leading the Herald by 162,899. The numbe: | of answers to advertisements received 8% The World's main offices alone was $05,586, a gain of 59,534 over 1683 and of 252,792 over three years ag, The unusual business condition did not affect all the New York papers alike, as is shown by the following compara- tive table of gain and loss in number of advertisements : 1884, + 910,087 | lows 1893. 996,514 178,498 224,848 298,050 Gain. 13,073 3,18 Loss. 53,363 166,627 A HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL ROUND. What a happy New Year's Day this In to the office-holder, to be sure. To them, on buth sides, the winners and the losers, it seems almost like the ushering in of the millennium. Here is Gov. Flower, who goes out, He gave @ dinner to his military staf at | the Kenmore last night, and gave voice | to the Intense satisfaction ii affords | him to retire from public life. “I lay down my robes,” he declares, “in a very €ontented frame of mind, and retire to Brivate life without any regret.” Fortunate Flower! Imagine how Wretched he would have been to-day if Bis sate of himse!f to the Hill-Arnot @rowd in the Brockway protection mat- ter had secured his renomination as the Democratic candidate for Governor, and ff the people had been fools enough to re-elect him. He would then been compelled to begin to-day another Wearlsome term of office and would have been deprived of the s.tense sat- iwfaction he feels at his retirement from public life Here §s Mayor Gilroy. What a happy, merry, contented old political cock he ts en this New Year's Da: to be sure. How loudly he crows out his delight at} having to tura over the keys of his desk to Mayor Strong, and to shake the dust of the Executive Chamber from his teet forever, Wnat a heap of trouble there « Would have een on the old man's mind Mf the people had never riken up against Z{ the Tammany machine and sent Gilroy &nd his friends into retirement, Instead of being getung ready to go to Florida and erjoy himself, he would to-day have been fated to recommence the “try- ing” life of a city executive. Happy Giiroy! At way be supposed that Gov. Morton and Mayor strong fee! equally contented end pircsed on this eventful day. Gov. Morton goes to Albany with his wife, five daughters and twelve servants, not have now, Dr. Parkhurst will have many supporters in the position he has taken hostile to the Committee. Yet the Com- mittee insist that they really had little information from the Doctor; that he had absolutely no evidence at all for them when they first came to the city; that their first ald in procuring wit- nesses came from “The World,” that they ferretted for themselves, and are indebted to Dr. Parkhurst for very little Practical help, while their obligations to tm for moral ald are of course great. One thing ts cortain. Dr, Parkhurst ts a fighter, persistent and fearless, and he will not allow the pclice reform and reorganization to be incomplete without @ struggle to prevent It. Meanwhile, President Martin and Supt Byrnes tender their resignations while Sheehan “sticks.” What will Mayor Strong do about it? SKATING ON THIN ICE. Few thinking men will envy Mayor Strong to-day. To get elected as a reform Mayor is one thing; to be a teform Mayor ta another and much more difficult thing. The election is a test of public rentiment, with which the candidate has little to do; the office is a test of brains, talent, discretion, knowledge, integrity, courage and every other quality that goes to make a broad. able, manly man, Fatlure is a deep pool, and the tce over it is very thin, Swift, carsful. easy skating is necessary to c.rry @ man across without disaster. That the tce will sag and crack occa- sionally under Mayor Strong's weight fe certain. It will be surprising if at least one foot does not go clear through at a weak spot once in a while. Such little breaks are expected, and will be forgiven. But the really dangerous spots are clearly marked, and big signs give warning of the alr-holes. There will be no excuse for Mayor Strong if he blun- ders, for instance, into the big hole with the Platt sign over it. A Brooklyn policeman has confessed to helping himself to a pocketful of fresh Long Island egge from the counter of a dealer while the dealer was absent. This is reducing the pan- tata business to the level of a country newspaper that takes subscriptions in | kind | Our police want $5,864,822.90 this year. | being $700,000 more than last. Poor fel-| their stockbrokers and real estate tenants in Japan have gone back on! them, and why shouldn't they get a raise so as to be able to “break even.” they would say themsetves. “The Evening World” remarked yes-! terday that Supt. Byrnes had taken the Jack-pot. It appeared from later infor- mation that he played with his good card up his sleeve. “Not to be opened until Jan. 2," said that letter of resignation, as Col. Strong received It. have nothing to regret," said re- tiring Gov. Flower. That is what he| might have been expected to say. His in- capabiity to feel regret was sufficient!y demonstrated through his capacity for doing the wrong things during his ad- ministration. Mr, Fish still feels sure that the Re- | publican Assembly caucus will furnish him the Speakership on which to embark for a happy New Year. After getting the prize, 1 ne does get it, let him look out for dangerous Platt reefs. Piatt says Parkhurst's head is aweil- ed, but he has not applied Bertillon’s anthropometric calipers to it, so we suppose he is only guessing at the Doctor's megalocephalousness. Precedence over the Harlem Speed- way just now should be given to the matter of providing Park Commis- sioners Clausen and Tappen with a speedway out of office. It would be a happier New Year in a great many homes in this city If the Park Board had done the right thing with that $1,000,000 appropriation. The Old Year couldn't take all of tts gloom away with it, That which per vades New York “L" road cars after dark still remains with us.

A few minutes before the glad New Year was ushered in on the wings of a general cacophony, the last “My Gawd! was uttered in “The Fatal Card” at Palmer's Theatre, It had been an even- ing of “My Gawds!"—beginning at 8 sharp—and |t was quite nice to hear the last one. Poor old 1894 ended for all these who were at Palmer's Theatre with a dynamite explosion, as a fitting climax to a series of “thrilling”? epl- , that Included a leap onto a mov- ing train, an attempted lynching, a very bright and meaty murder, and a pleas- ant chatty little drawing of lots to ar- range for the killing of young Gerald} Austen, and while these things were going on everybody said “My Gawd” with the same ecstatic, jubilant feeling of Intensity that the eminent tragedian | of the Bowery puts into “Hully Gee! “The Fatal Card” 13 a red-hot melo- drama, by Hadton Chambers and B, C.

However, it ia not often that we see a melodrama with such a splendid cast that used in “The Fatal Card.” If this form of entertainment has any hope in New York, surely it should prosper when interpreted by the excellent actors and actresses who worked so hard last night. Downtown we get our melodrama filled with unkempt people—villains who don’t know what to do with their arms, and heroines who are entering upon the sere and yellow. Go and see the bad| acting in “The Cotton King,” and then peep into Palmer's and see the admira- ble work done in “The Fatal Card."
