Entered at the Posc-Office at New York ay Second-Class Mati Matter, VOLUME 44.00.0000. scenes vNO. 18,480 LOOKING AHEAD FOR NEW YORK. ‘When the Low administration died it left among its legacies to its successof the project of the Munic.pal Art ‘Bociety and allied organizations for the appointment of @ commission to devise a plan for the future develop- ment of New York. ‘he Aldermen had authorized such @ commission, but in the absence of an appropriat.on from the Board of Estimate and Apportionment "Low refused to make the appointments, preferr! leave the whole matter to be dealt with by the new ad- ministration. The opportunity now presented to Mayor MeClellan and the gentlemen he may select was described by Mr. John De Witt Warner at the Municipal Ar: Society's dinner the other night as one whose match had never been offered tu any body of men n the world’s history before:and never would be again. That may seem an extravagant statement, but a little reflection will show that It is at least plausible. New York is approaching the end of its plastic stake It is still practicable to Jay out great general lines to which its future growth shall conform; but when the stu- Pendous masses of buildings and of constructions for sur- face and underground circulation that are coming in the near future have once fitted themselves to those lines no further radical changes in arrangement will ever be possible. From the time, ten or fifteen years hence, when New York displaces London as the first city of the world, there will never be anything, as far as, our present imagination can carry us, to dl tu its posi- tion as the metropolis of the globe, And since there can be only one world-capital, the privilege of moulding that capital's form is an opportunity that can come only once. When the great structoral outlines of the future city re settled, when its transportation system is sketched in, its commercial needs are satisfied and the i ibecilit es of the str ‘ ‘an of 1807 are corrected as far as may be, it will be possib.: to fill in the artistic detains thay wil make the whole vast metropolis one glorious plcture. Nobody will be so poor as to be denied the inspiration of that splendid spectacle. The city is the one posses- sion we all have in common, and to plan in time for Its convenience, its comfort and its beauty is a work that Ought to enlist the enthusiastic aid of everybody vorthy to be called 4 New Yorker, Soand Doctrine tn matter to have a nat Russian Minister at Seoul, referring to the Japane desigos upon Corea ut might not the » be expressed to better advantage say A ERIE PEONS IN REVOLT. Commuters along the Erie Railroad are going to hold « Mass-meeting at Englewood to-night to express their opinion of the treatment they have endured of late. It is expected that they will all go equipped with masks, rubber shoes and dark lanterns, tur President Underwood has said tha: every patron who “blackguards" the com- pany does so anonymously, Still, it 1 possible that, after barricading the doors, stopping up the keyholes and look- ing under the chairs for concealed reporters, some vet-~ turesome commuter may take off his disguise and in- duige in remarks which President Underwood would not use as a testimonial if he were hunting for a job. The consensus of opinion among the “blackguards” who. patronize Mr. Underwioa's line because they nave not yet been able to move seems to be that the Erie ‘would, be a pretty good railroad if it had new tracks, new eLgines, new cars, new stations, a new office staff and a | Rew president. BE CONSIDERATE. It is wrong to gloat over the misfortunes of others, and therefore those who read the Sunday World Migazine yesterday ought to avoid the temptation to obtrude their satisfaction upon those who missed that privilege. Avoid | the subject of modern piracy, for that would lead directly | to Capt. Campbell's exciting true story of the wreck and that Stevenson Would have delighted to make his own, Avoid any reference to the methods of gaining success in life, for you could hardly mention that topic without discussing the views expressed through Mr. Creelman by President Loree, of the Rock Island, the most highly paid railroad man in the United States; or the account! of George H. Mix of his method of working his way | through Yale. Skim lightly over romance, in order not | to inflict a pang upon the friend who has missed Wolf} von Schierbrand’s story of rrince Ariberts sacrince of a throne for love. Steer clear of Mrs, Dore Lyon's ideas on the question whether society women are demoralized, and Miss Phelps’s exhilarating narrative of ice-yachting wonderful effects of radium, violet rays and liquid air in the treatment of cancer.

He admits that the most of his success has been due to his pull. He also says that virtue is not its own reward, Young Mr. Rockefeller could slap him on the wrist for that. “Behind every big success in business that comes { Prominently to light these days you will find that there is. pull. If Mr, Loree had not been the owner of a pull he would be a division superintendent of the Pennsylvania » | Railway to-day. A large energetic sense of gall with @ disregard for union hours is a long suit also in achieving success, i “There are a few professions where pull don’t cut ice except to help along the beginners. These are the pro- fessions in which the goods have to be delivered. In business it is mostly drag, and don’t you let any Sunday= school superintendents tout you to the contrary. “A young man born of poor but honest parents hasn't the show of.a deaf and dumb girl in a telephone exchange if he takes a job in the ordinary business housc—unless he has a face like a roll-top desk and a basketful of brains. Big business enterprises have been adjusted likd the works of a clock, with the sons and other relatives wheels and springs. | “The fear of poverty, according to Mr. Loree, is like 4 an iron ball tied to the leg of an ambitious young man. f the directors and officers filling the places of the main should be tied to a railroad track and see a train com- ing. The fear of poverty is not as prevalent now as it used to be at that. It has been replaced by resignation to comparative comfort. The average man becomes con- vinced after a while that he cannot get ahead unless he has money, pull or transcendent ability, so he paddles, { along until it comes time for him to die, and he is: generally half glad to go.” hd “Isn't there any show at all for the young man of; to-day who is honest and industrious and a recognized{ passengér on the water wagon?” asked the Cigar Store. 4 He advises men seeking success to get rid of the fear of poverty. This is like advising a man what to do if he » Man. “There is a show that some big guy will pick bins up and give him a boost,” answered the Man Higher |Up. “Unless that show comes out the odds are away, against his name ever being in capital letters in the business directory.” ( F Tell-Tale Envelopes. . ‘An envelope has been designed that mail thieves canriot tamper with undetected. ‘There are two ways in which ordinary envelopes may be opened—one by forcing the fap open with a thin metal blade and the other by steaming th envelope until the neucilage no longer holds the flap, In’ either case it {s diMecult for even the person to whom the: letter is addressed to ascertain whether the envelope has been opened unless something has been extracted. The im-{ proved envelope difters from the ordinary kind only In hav-4 ¢ | ing a sheet of tissue paper attached to the flap and extend- ing down inside the pocket. This sheet attaches itself to the surface of the ervelope with the sealing of the letter, and it is obylous that any attempt to force the flap would| tear the letter, and, in spite of the utmost caution, the torn, Ussue would be plainly seen when the envelope was opened in the proper way. To detect any subjection to the steam- ing process the tissue Is secured to the flap by a colored : mucllage which liquefles instdntly when brought into th¢ presence of Ke hot/steam, daubing the inner and outer sur face of the letter until {t plainly indicates the use of im" proper methods to ascertain the contents. . Expressive Eyes. ‘The eye reveals character, but unfortunately not so cleare ly as the other features, though the contrary is supposed | to be true. People are too much influenced by the color of the eye, which is, after all, no gulde, and they are too much by the size and the lustre, whereas neither is any whatever of character, says the Chattanooga influen indicatio: Times. _aaracter is revealed in the eye by the expression, by the softness or the hardness, by the glow, by the appeal,. by the way of looking at you. 4 ‘There are people who cannot look you full in the eye, and these are. the people who are not frank, the people strategy, whose duplicity, whose methods and whose: in the world. ' Dark eyes are supposed to belong to the best type of, soul, But this, also, Is a Callacy. Dark eyes are more ex-) pressive than light eyes. They are more ca) able of show- ing the emotions, they can say more than light eyes. But| they do not denote any better character. On the contrary,{ there are many people who argue wholly in favor of the light-eyed person, and say that blue eyes are true eyer and,that black and brown eyes are full of duplicity. wh means are not the Father of His Country, Jacob Missomer, a curlo collector of Lancaster, Pa., re cently found among the effects of an aunt living at Mas! sonville a well-preserved copy of the Francis Bailey manac, published in ‘this clty in 1779, in which the expr “Father of His Country,’ was applied to Gen, George Was! ington.
