To-day we have de-| ; welopments showing that the American Union BPlectric Company and the Commercial Railway Equipment Com- pany expanded assets of $73,000 into a capitalization ot $7,850,000. In loolting over the list of New Jersey cor- porations that haye gone to the wall this year the Na- tonal Bread Company, capitalized at $3,000,000, is seen to have had assets of $8,084 and liabilities of $8,333. The Atlantic Window’ Glass Company, capital $50,000, had assets of $300. The Mount Vernon Realty Com- pany, capital $100,000, had assets of $6,000. The Inter- state-Trust Company, capital $500,000, had assets of $6,218. The Universal Tobacco Company, capital $10,- ‘ 000,000, had aseets appraised at $136,010.

Judge Grossoup hopes “‘to live to see some political party in power that will compel corporations to protect stockholders as the banks and insurance companies are now regulated.” 'To impose such limitations on the processes of high finance will be to hamper enterprise that has fostered the illegitimate accumulation of multi-millions. It will Geprive many an art gallery of a noble bequest and di- minish the erection of hospitals by private philanthropy. But it will increase the comforts of home in many a Modest household. BEAUTIFUL NEW YORK. Patti, returning after an wbsence of ten years, finds New York “beautifw—a lovely city.” We lend a more appreciative ear to her praise than to Mr. Benson's re- marks on the ‘sickening stew of the streets,” because in the dive’s flattory there is a larger element of truth than im the critic's detraction. ‘With a palatial hotel or fine mansion flanked by a balf-demolished brownstone row that is to make way for @ new building New York is unlovely enough in spots, Ite architectural skyline is ragged, peak and depression alternating inharmoniously. Entire blocks are in a transitional state not conducing to evoke admiration. Yet with full allowance made for these faults the city’s physical beauties are such as to strengthen the Jove of old admirers and provoke the delight of new. Palaces that were the glory of foreign capitals spring up dn reproduction in the residence districts. The creations of nativo architecture concetved’ to satisfy the demands of commerce please by their proportions while they im- on classic lines adapted to modern requirements fully satisfy the artistic sonse. The lights of New York, which have especially im- pressed Patti, give the city a continuous radiance which makes it glow like a vast jewel. In no other capital is there such prodigality of illumination, The view from a North River ferry-toat in the dusk of a winter evening, the prospect from High Bridge toward the city at night, the vista of rare brilliance down Broadway from Long! ‘Acre Square at the theatre hour, spectacles of which our own appreciation has grown sated, are untque in artl- ‘ SCHOOLROOM EXPANSION. ‘The usefulness of the city’s public schools is to be further extended by opening them on Sunday after- noons and evenings for lectures, which will be preceded and followed by a brief musical programme. In some of the schools on these occasions a unique form of lec- ture will be given designed to attract newly arrived im- migrants, who will be addressed in their native language and familiarized with the clementary duties of citizenship, The pubiic schools have now far transcended their original purpose. Instead of being places of instruction merely for children they have developed interesting and various new functions. They are club-rooms, music halls, gymnasiums, lecture halls and drawing-rooms in the meaning that they are a rendezvous for social life in some neighborhoods. They have become sociological centres in which very efficient supplementary work to that of the settlement socicties is performed. All this embodiee educational extension in the best sense, reaching not cnly the regular school children but the older boys who frequent them as meeting-rooms for debate and parliamentary practice, and parents whom} the lectures and the music attract. It is an evolution of the school-house which Is ex- tending its usefulness to an extraordinary degree.
