The World's inquiries among dealers in building ma-| 4 terlals yesterday showed many of them ready to fill or- ders for everything needed in the construction of the new gehools. The United Board of Building Trades baving previously given its pledge to provide a sufficient num- ber of skilled workmen to complete the school bulld-‘ ings and to handle material hauled by non-union as well b: as by union teamsters, the only obstacle remaining to < prevent the resumption of work was the expressed be- Met of the Employers’ Association that the United Board ‘was not acting in good faith. Happily this obstacle has been remoyed. In Brooklyn one-half of the regular complement of skilled workmen have returned to their posts, and in New York an en- ‘couraging number have done likewise. The Board of Building Trades has redeemed its pledges, better counsels have influenced the employers, and the strike is to all/ intents and purposes broken. Tt is a gratifying response to The World's appeal to the sentiment of those concerned. To have sustained the principle involved at the expense of the enforced ig- Rorenve of thousands of school-children would have been to pay dear for the victory desired. It is a matter for hearty congratulation that the compromise has been effected and the idleness that imperilied the school pros- pects of thousands of children ended. IN COSMOPOLITAN NEW YORK. Last Sunday saw Archbishop Farley preaching in Ttalian to a Catholic congregation and on Monday night @t St. Vincent Ferrer’s Church the rosary was said in Gaelic. On Tuesday Police Commissioner Greene talked “to the children of the Educational Alliance in Russian. {At the time of the street fish-cart agitation on the east ide Commissioner Woodbury spoke to an excited crowd oi Yiddish. © ‘This showing of linguistic accomplishments In city of- “fiolals is interesting, not less so tha: the opportunities afforded for their exercise. By the ceuss of 1900 there Were 15,201 Rugsians in New York—as coiony about as large as the entire city of Rochester. ‘ue Germans Numbered 322,343, the Irish 275,102, the Italians 145,433. Here in the metropolis are large communities of foreign- ers with whoso importance as integral elements of the elty we are too little apt to reckon; in most instances they have become so well absorbed and incorporated that their numerical consequence {e not appreciated. In excise discussions, for example, in holding up for appre- hension the spectre of a “continental Sunday” we fall usually to remember that more than 1,000,000 of New Yorkers aro by previous citizenship acquainted with that kind of Sunday observance. The evening church service in Gaelic is worth noting. The revival of this ancient language of the old sod, begun by a handful of enthusiasts a few years ago, has attained ivery real importance. There are now societies for its | encouragement here as well as abroad, and a constantly -Imcreasing literature. In lreland it {s taught in national (and In parish schools and in the seminaries of the Chris- juan Brothers. The number of reprints of old Gaelic ; books has recently become very considerable. Their pro- }@uction keeps many presses busy, and it is significant } a New York daily paper could recently devote a ‘column to reviews of such reprints. COOPER UNION ART WORK. _ The annual exhibition of the Cooper Union Art School ‘ain progress this week. The showing of pupils’ work, siways creditable, is given a new feature of interest this year by the promingnce of the woman's section of the exhibit. | It is encouraging to learn that during the year now iploging the self-supporting students of the Union, num- bering about eighty out of the school's 260 pupils, added 10,000 to their incomes by the sale of their art work. This work has been highly praised for the quality of originality shown in it and the artistic promise revealed. It has been said that on all Third avenue from Ns beginning through to the Harlem River there is not a building worth looking at twice. Cooper Union itself gan hardly claim even a slight amount of architectural beauty. Yet this homely structure, standing as a land- mark at the avenuc’s source, has done more for the city than many a more pretentious edifice. Is it extravagant to claim that in real educational results it has more to fits credit than all the city libraries? Its founder died Jong before the present era of multi-millionaire benefac- tions, but he knew how to give twice by giving appro- priately. PASSING OF THE PANAMA. ‘The passing of the Panama is an occasion for more than idle speculation or for levity. But last summer a thing of joy if net of beauty, the pride of many a manly ‘brow, and now the pariah of hats! It !s so soon that It is done for that the wonder must grow at the freakiness of fashion responsible for its passing. It has been an extravagant whim, a single Panama representing in cost perhaps a dozen of the ordinary straw hats of commerce. What 1s to become of the sur- _ plus stock? The individual hold-over hat may be kept in the closet avd reserved for fishing trips or for the semi-seclusior of the golf course under a blazing sun, ‘The dealer, to realize, will be obliged t» look to the rural teary Acereos of fashion.

Not long ago a decidedly w prepossessing negro child wandered in- to the aquare, The more aristocratic children shunned or snubbed her. At last she wandered diaconsolately acro#s to Citizen Train. “They won't play with me," she leped. “1t must: be nice to have people love you."* i ‘Train was for the mpment nonplussed as to the kindest way of replying. “Don't you love children, air?’ the mite went on. “Yes, indeed, I do,” answered the “Citizen, “Oa, that's all right, then," @e sighed happily, enuggling up to him on the bench, “‘cause I'm @ child, you . . . ° e . . Speaking of children, an amusing an- ecdote ts told concerning the Rev. Dr. Kittredge, of the Madison Avenue Re- formed Church. Dr. Kittredge has an unusally pretty little granddaughter. As she was altting in the reverend gentle- man’s lap recently, #o the story goes, she sald: “God made both you and me, didn't he, grandpapa?” “Yes, dear.” doing much prettier work now- I think, than when you were a oy, grandpapa." oo. J, P. Morgan is notoriously diMoult to interview. To the most skilful reporte: plea he turns a deaf ear. One coll boy. however, found @ road to an inter- view where many @ wiser man had fatied. It was his first week on the paper, and, knowing nothing of Mor- Ban's idtosyncrasies, he boldly uccomed him on an “L” train. The great finan- cler, used to reading men at a glance, doubtless sized up the lad's inexperience and pitied it. For he politely anewered every one of the youth's crudely put queries. Five minutes later ho growled a curt refusal to a veteran newspaper man who proffered a similar request. J. Kennedy Todd, the banker, made the oddest pugchase of his life some tkme ago.. For $5 he bought a dipso- maniac crow. Todd was commissary of the Seventy-first Regiment. A number of his friends had taught a tame crow to drink whiskey. The bird took to the flery beverage with all the gusto of an old toper, and In a few weeks was never wholly sober. Formerly # had sat for houw on the top of a chair. Now it had difficulty in remaining on the floor. Its favorite pastime was to Ii on its back in a waste paper basket, sleeping off its potations. “I guess Todd bought the bird to re- form i,’ said an officer in the Sgventy- first. ‘The $5 gold plece he paid for it was lavished in the nature of a gold cure for intemperance,"’ LETTERS, ; QUESTIONS, ee ANSWERS.

Actually in love. As has been recorded, Fogarty was 2 feet 1 In height, an@ | |the very lowest note in his voice was an octave and a half |high.r than Melba’s high C. But he said he was fifteen. And he used to add with pride: “When I get on me gay harness an’ me near-linen choker, you'd take me fer sixteen anny day.” And the manner of his falling in love was this: The lady who dispensed apples dally through the various oMfces had @ granddaughter. The girl carried the apples. Fogarty’s eye fell on her and from that moment he under stood how Mark Antony and the plumber’s assistant on hie block (who had “done” ninety days for stealing a gold- plated ring for his sweetheart) could have declared the world well lost for love. : From being a human storm centre and the all-round mischief-maker in tho office, Fogarty evolved into a solema creature who snorted sentimentally in corners and used the office paper to write what he said was poetry. Once a day a light would break over his face and he would stand grinning awesomely at a certain ruby-hatred { damsel who was at that momer.t entering the office with «| big basket of apples. ! “Gee!” murmured Fogarty once, glaring about at the! peaceful, Innocuous roomful of men, “how I wish one of{ youse would hand out some line of guff to dat ladifrend of mine; or even give ‘er de eye.

At least, so sald every one ex cept the sporting editor, That dignitary safd no girl is ever oblivious to anything in the line of admiration, For weeks Fogarty was content to adore at long range, One day, however, an apple rolled to the floor.
