DAY EVENING, j — MAY 7, 1903; hed by the Press Publishing Company, No. 8 to Park Row, New York. Entored at the Post-OMoce at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. VOLUME 438........:c0eceeeeeeeee NO. 18,284. : EIGHTY-SIXTH STREET SUBWAY. oY qf ‘Tho Metropolitan Street Railway Company has long ‘@oveted the two blocks on Eighty-sixth street between Thoy would form a connecting link by means of ‘tinuous from river to river. As the situation is, west ‘pide passengers using this road through the park are put -to tho enforced inconvenience of a walk of several Dlocks, a disagreeable experience in bad weather. There “being no other means of transit across the park, res!- Gents of the entire region between Fifty-ninth street and One Hundred and Sixteenth street are placed at an irk- “@ome disadvantage. Most of them favor the extension of the line, and the fact that the West End Association thas followed the Merchants’ Association in recommend- fing it indicates the pressure that is being brought to bear on the Highty-sixth street property-holders to yield. The coincident installation of an underground __ trolley service on this crosstown road, now almost com- pleted, largely explains this renewed application of Dregsure. ‘To what extent are the property-owners justified in holding up improvements which, whilo of advantage to y the entiro west side, are of direct and very great advan- | tage to the railway company? hat {s the question in its present form. There is no doubt that tracks in Highty-sixth street ‘would cause a marked depreciation of real estate values there; an adequate compensation by the rallroad would be very heavy—heavy enough, indeed, to pay for a sub- ‘way for the two blocks, Why should not such a subway be constructed? The grade is adapted to it and the building of the three sta- tions called for would not entail much additional ex- pense. While stations in name they need merely com- prise entrances and exits, as in the Fourth ayenue annel. The main argument against a subway is that voiced by John Flanigan, who says that it “would bring objec- tlonable crowdn and make these blocks what those on ‘the east side are.” This is very unlikely, as there fs no Tesort in the nelghborhood such as will attract crowds, Bor is there prospect of one. It is obvious that some concession to the demands of _( ‘west side passenger traffic must soon be made. A sub- } way through Eighty-sixth street and an eventual line of stages through the Ninety-seventh street viaduct are ealled for as least objectionable, while most serviceable, ‘ 4 “AID FOR THE INJURED IN FACTORIES. “An apprentice in the Mare Island Navy-Yard having + guffered Injury from a particle of steel which imbedded “fteelf in his face, the electrician in charge held an elec tro-magnet against the wound with the object of drawing ‘out the offending substance. In an instant the buried (@acting force and the wound was ready for dressing. | ‘This was a case of ready aid for the injured of ex- © eeptional interest. Why cannot this ready-remedy prin-| elple be extended for use in a smaller way in all factories | @nd shops where employees are numerous and injury or » } @udden illness not infrequent? ee ; A machine crushes an operative's finger or an edge i ) tool slips and cuts his hand badly. There are no BE *-Femedies ready, no bandages or surgeon's plaster or antl- ‘ geptic dressing, no tourniquet to stop the gush of blood he from an artery, not even a cot for the injured man to a lie on till the a nbulance arrives. If a girl faints at her f table there are no restoratives at hand; quite likely she Temains unconscious until the hospital surgeon reaches " her. -& Now, in the case of the fainting girl a few minutes in a retiring-room under the care of a cool-headed fore- ‘woman, a little whiskey, a few drops of aromatic spirits of ammonia, and she would speedily revive from the faint that becomes more serious the longer it lasts, For the injured workman an antiseptic wash to clean the wound of dirt. a bandage quickly applied and a few moments’ - rest on a cot would leave the surgeon less to do and {n- q crease the chances of quick recovery. The remedies and appliances required are simple and fmexpensive. No employer would refuse to provide them ff asked. The appruach of the season of heat prostra- tions makes their adoption urgent. A little common- sense medical attention might avert many a sunstroke or case of heart failure caused by heat exhaustion, KENTUCKY AND CHERRY HILL. While we are reading the Kentucky mountaineers Jessons on the “honor” that seeks satisfaction in assassination, shall we remain silent about Cherry Hill? In deploring and reprobating the shooting of Marcum in fhe back at Jackson must we be blind to the murder of MoMahon, slain with a bullet in the back of his head in Hamilton street? Is the latter crime less dastardly be- causo of its background of brick houses rather than of moonshiners’ cabins? A curious parallel exists between the Kentucky and the Cherty Hill murders. Marcum knew a year ago that his time had come and frankly told his friends so. As bne familiar with feud processes and as the last recog- very soon. By the Cherry Hill code McMahon under- ptood that his life would pay the penalty of a feud-like _ antagonism with an old foe. “I expect to have a knife tm my heart before night,” he said. Except that the )| wenpon used was a revolver his prediction came literally The Kentucky blood hatreds are explated in the teely settled mountain regions where officers of the are few. The Cherry Hill murders, a long list, have committed almost in the heart of the great city thin gunshot of a police station. Is it not hypocrisy to cfiticise Kentucky for what is happening right er our eyes? Are we to talk of cowardly feuds when feuds equally cowardly of our own?

When you have dealt out twenty- one cards throw the rest aside, You now have three packs with seven cards in each. Ask In which heap the chosen card is and place that pack between the other two.

Thi reason why women have been engaged for this task is very simple, About eighteen months ago there was a great dearth of men and boys in the district, owing to the ecarcity af Wabor, and the vicar, being unable to obtain the requistti number of men to ring the bells, asked the ladies of the coni sregation to undertake the duty. The appeal was instantly / | and heartily responded to, and s!x young women have rany the bells of this pretty little church regularly end punctualig for nearly eighteen months.
