ST FERRY TERMINAL IMPROVEMENTS. ‘A ferry-house to which the term palatial is not in- applicable by comparison with the existing ferry ac- Somimodations in New York is projected by the Lacka. ‘wanna line for its West Twenty-third street terminus. The structure is designed to cost $250,000 and the Provision it will offer for the convenience and comfort of oassen=ers wil! entitle the Lackawanna to the grate- al consideration of commuters. In (this and in the ad- Joining terminals of the Erie and the Pennsylvania, as ‘also in that of the Staten Island route at the Battery and at Barclay and Chambers streets, the city’s multitudes of ferry passengers are well served. ‘Phe other ferry-houses have by no means been im- fed to meet the demands of the increased ferry traf- ,. In some of these antiquated and obsolete structures the conditions are thoroughly discreditable. What was gufficient to satisfy the requirements of a half century O° has been left unchanged to provide for a present ay congestion it is wholly inadequate to accommodate. _ Uf the Dock Commissioner's proposal to have the city purchase the Thirty-ninth street line, modernize its ter- minal and equip it with fast boats is favorably acted @ further improvement long needed will be in sight. And possibly. from the example set in these contem- Plated betterments a general modernization of ferry ter- minal facilities may ensue, so that in the course of @vents the passenger travelling by ferry may be as well eared for as when he goes by rall. * Such treatment would win his gratitude to as great an etent as it wonuld excite his surprise. eo asetereeeeeee INO. 15,430. ‘*BOOK PLAYS," _“Lady Rose's Daughter” on the stage has been so gtlevous a disappointment to admirers of the brilliant ‘Fomance from which the dramatic version was made as to lend point to a prophecy of the early doom of the -@ramatized novel. Certainly the theatre-going public has had a surfelt ‘@f book plays and its present repugnance to them is un- Gerstandable. In the interval between “Trilby" and “The Spenders” nearly every romance that had attained _ @ Simmer-hotel-piazza vogue or become a circulating l!- _ Brary success has been revamped for the stage. It was “Bet alone the novel strong in dramatic situation, the sed Weyman work of the “Under the Red Robe” kind ‘@id, the detective story of the “Sherlock Holmes” order. Of these and of the “Tess of the Durbervilles” type the ‘supply was never in excess of the demand. But with dramatized fiction of the “Helmet of Na- ‘Varte” sort, “Hearts Courageous,” “‘Phroso,” “Rupert of Benteau” and their kind, the patience of the indulgent @udience has been sozwly tried. Managers have “pre- *@ented",.too many done-over dramas whose only claim to @ttention was an ephemeral popularity with the omniver- ous devourer of fiction. Possibly some explanation of the present dearth of good original plays is to be found in this prevalent preference for warmed-over fiction. The Playwright's occupation, if not gone, has been running On reduced time the while, and his output curtailed. The decline in public estimation of the dramatized Tomance will effect a squeezing out of the water from which an improvement may be expected in the way of a higher grade of plays written as such for the stage direct and not fhrough the medium of the publisher, a3 4 SEVEN THOUSAND A YEAR. ‘@rgued that as the defendant had enjoyed an annual sal- ery of $7,000 for twelve years he ‘‘must have saved at tink it likely that on a salary of $7,00u a year a man Would save much, # anything. ¥ It is not long since an income of this size was deemed ample to meet all tho demands made on a gencrous purss and provide a sufficient margin for a bank account of 90d proportions. A quarter of a century ago $7,000 a commanded a high grade of ability. It secured exeputive capacity of the second if not of the first order, and a lawyer or physician with an income in these fig- ures had a wide reputation in his profession. A posi- tion on the bench returning $6,000 a year was a prizo veted by lawyers. Now Judge Grosscup holding to leh a post for the honoy (n it and resisting the entice- ment of a corporation salary ten times that amount ex- cites_remark. In New York to-day a salary of $7,000 means $1,200 ® year for rent, $4,000 for household expenses and amuse- ments, $1,000 for clothes, &c. If the residue remains in- tact through the year, perhaps it bespeaks a thrift which Justice Scott would single out for commendation, In the main it is very likely that in this city of ex- travagance and of temptation to unnecessary expendi- ture his view is correct. CONSCIENCE MONEY. eConscience, which makes cowards of us all, has led fyo finders of lost money to make restitution to the fovers after many years. By reason of this belated hon- enty Deacon Noah Washburn, of Glens Falls, has been reimbursed for the roll of bills, a little more than $190, which he lost thirty-five years ago, and William Fyjes, of Awburn, has been repaid the $60 which he dropped in a State street store in 1883 ‘Phe stings of remorse which led to the restoration of » tiése lost sums of money were a long time in prevailing. ‘That they overcame the dishonest inclination at a period Ufe when thg desire for material weaith diminishes mot concern us.

So far from seeking to louse sight of the d wronged he became féarful lest such a con- id deprive lim of the chance of restitu- fear addeil to his qualms.
