Why should the cities of New York and Brooklyn pay for permission to build © bridge across the Kust River? Is there never to be an end of this con- tinuous robbery of pubile treasuries? Some four or five years ago several men interested in the Brooklyn Elevated Railways went to Albany and, after much nefartous lobbying, got through @ ‘Dill giving them a franchise to build a bridge across the riv Attached to this Scheme, but really its cause of being, was a permission to build in this city ‘approaches" to the bridge, which "a proaches” were nothing more nor less largement of the chances of life and health for the tenement-house tots.

All the reciplents of the medals are men who by repeated acts of courage and devotion have proved themselves well ‘worthy of the honor. h the mounted men have stopped several runaways, often at great peril to themselves, Among other commendable acts on the part of Patrick Dooley was the rescue from drowning of a young man who had taken cocaine and then jumped into the water, Peterson, the would-be sulctde, was @ powerful man, and made a des- perate fight with Dooley in the wat-r, go that the latter was compelled to let him go. But as soon as he recovered breath the brave policeman again dive in and got Peterson ashore, after a s ond flerce struggle. Peterson died an hour afterwards, however, from th effects of the cocaine. | Buch acts as these deserve reward, and the gift of medals that remain as heir Jooms in a brave man’s family is‘ not only a graceful recognition of courage and fidelity, but is an incentive to heroism BICYCLEPH BIA! The flag waved over the City Hall yesterday, and a crowd of Westechester people flocked into the Mayor's chamber to oppose the bill to provide for the con- struction of a bicycle track on the lis ef the Croton Aqueduct. These modest citizens objected to a Dleycle track because the wheelmen and wheelwomen might run down children and women cn their way to and from Bunday school as the bicycles bowled along the road towards the track, and because the Westch lawns might suffer and the Westchester orchards be Fobbed by bicycling trespassers, Of course, hard-headed Mayor Strong Will give no heed to such selfish and unreasonabie opposition, As well might the residents of Fifth av object to arriage driving in Central Park on t pretense thet people might be.run over While the venicles were on their way to the Park e of the city will d they Amajority of the peo; #0on be on wheels, M are entitied PUNISHING ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Recorder Goff is hard on the offense of intended suicide. ¥ be sen- tenced Heury W who pleaded guilty to having attempted to take his own life by shooting f, Year's imprisonment ir «Sing Prison.

In Hermann Sudermann's novel, “The Wish," pubsshed by the Apple tona, Mins Elizabeth Lee—I feel 1 must mention her name—ruins the interest in the novel by her Introduction. In a weak moment I read the introduction before beginning the book, After a lot of stupid feminine gush about Suder- mann, whom she analyzes very ab- surdly, Miss Lee carefully gives away the plot of t. book—and there pre- clour hittle of tt—and quotes its best passages. Bhe absolutely destroys all Interest in it, Of Sudermann she says: “In a few words of the almplest sort he brings before our eyes living pic- tures.” Where con the Lee lady have been living during the last year or two? Why us: the expression “living ple- tures" without the consent of Messrs. Konter & Bial? Poor Sutermann! I know him by his plays, “Magda” and “Die Ehre," and I grieve to think that two women like Misa Elizabeth Lee, who introduces him, and Miss Lily Henkel, who ren- ders him into execrable English, should have had power to abuse him, For, in good sooth, he ts an admirably analytl- cal writer, a vivid painter and a moral- ist. Mixs Henkel has made him ridicu- lous with such expressions as “Since a long time already” and “already yet," with watch the book reeks. The corner grocer of Avenue A could have made & better translation. “The Wish" tells the story of poor Olga Bremer, who was instrumental in getting her flabby sister Martha married to a rather brusque idiot, known as Robert Hellinger, Olga herself, although she didn't know It. Girls In Germany never know it. Girls in America always do, Olga went away vhen they were married, but she visited them when Martha brought a baby Into tho world and tended her sister, She was Robert w passion that it reminded me of Amelia Rives and “The Quick or the Dead." So while shs was watching poor, feverish Martha there came to her the wish that Martha would dle, the horror of her un- raturs! desire maddened her, and when Martha really did die, she became a prey to the most ghastly imaginings and the inost morbid Introspection—all of which {8 most vividly and exquisitely set forth oy Sudermann, fancy, the end of the book ts placed at the beginning. Olga kills herself rather than marry Robert, who grows to love her (how happy could he be with either were other dear charmer away!), and this opens the novel. All the rest is told by means of a diary that Olga leaves. Fhis is surely a most fatal mistake, To fart with the denouement and gradu- ally wend your way to the introductory remarks 1s a most admirable way to kill any story It demolishes “The Wish," | which contains nevertheless some superb | specimens of original thought, There Is one serious thing to be sald against Olga. It sounds trivial, but tt must be sald. Elther the author or the translator—and I fancy tt must be wick- ed Lily Henkel—ts unable to agree as to the color of her hair, On page 68 we he coverlet was dragged up, and formed a white hillock behind which a! strip of Olga's ight brown hair shone forth.” Very good, But we meander very fond of Martha, but her love for) such @ seething, bubblesome | \ By a peculiar freak of | | | on to page %, and there we find: “But when I see her dark head of curls lying #0 submissively upon my shoulder," &c.
