During January, February, March and April of this year The Evening World carried 5087 columns of paid dis- fais play advertising. ue No other New York paper equafted this showing. ‘The increase over The Evening World's own record ¥ for the corresponding four months of 1903 was 1270% -eolumns—mere than twice the gain made by any THREE DAYS OF CONEY ISLAND. ‘The triple holday with {ts boon of contintious good {weather, except for the thunderstorm finale, gave a new / @emonstration, if one were nesded, of Coney Island's in- /walugtie usefulness to the eity. The haif million persons who were attracted there on \jeturday, Sunday and Monday are the better by a gain good health and good cheer which it would have been Ne for them to duplicate for an equally small of time end money in any other nearby region, or \any other form of recreation. One feature lacking to the full realization of the possibilities as e resort is the absence of a pub- in seaside park adequate to the demands of the crowds \@f visttors. Has the rare opportunity offered by the fire to lapse? The East Side Civic Club now recom- the establishment of a great substitute sea park ‘at '‘Rockaway as preferable, on the ground that an “in- «j@uperable barrier” to the instttntion of such a park at Coney Island has been raised by the “millions” which , the condemnation of property would require. ‘This plan overlooks the less easy accoss!billty of Rock- ‘away, and fails to take into account the fact that the ‘“millions” to be saved on the site will eventually be lost ‘to the park's frequenters through the higher rates of fare. ‘The superior advantages of the Coney Island site, both on tho score of popularity and proximity, are too obvious to be controverted. THE PUSHCART MEN'S GRIEVANCES. The pushcart men are due to move in force on the Mayor's office to-day to voico their grievances against Commissioner Woodbury on the particular ground of the compulsory photograph plan, and generally because of minor regulations which they regard as an infraction of their righte. The precautionary measure of the photo- graphs has been made necessary by the growth of a form of evasion of the law which has caused the authorities annoyance. small tradesmen is in reallty designed to work to their advantage, elamorous opposition from their promiscuous street Ainctly better sanitary condition, ,. The best solution of the pushcart problem fs to fol- jlow out this good beginning and assign to all cart vend- ’ a definite locality for their trade. They themselves \enrhareee the benefit of this plan, and are reported to be | yeady to contribute $200,000 as their share of the expense. Mm the congested condition of tle atreets the trregular \eqpresence of pushcarts impedes traffic to an extent which , Menstitates a serious danger. Provision should be made or them to the relief of other vehicles, and with regard fs eb their-rights.as possessora of oity licenses. iv MILLIONAIRES AND NATIONS. a As evidence that Argentina is “an awakening giant"— one of the coming nations of the world”—John Barrett, , former Minister to the Republic below the equator, notes ‘that “with the exception of the United States, she has _already more millionaires than any other country on earth.” * Almost at the same moment we have the Rev. Dr. (Hillis declaring his belief that “fn the next generation iit will be vuigar to be rich, vulgar to spend money.” The difference ts in the point of view. Mr. Barrett is looking at wealth as the fair return on the industry, energy and pioneer courage that build up a new country, Dr. Hillis is looking at the vain show, practical idleness and cowardly snovbishness that we find conspicuous fn a country old enough to display inherited great fortunes. The ex-Minister to Argentina ts not deifying the dol- lar: the preacher in Brooklyn fs not demonizing it. Each speaker is dealing with the men behind the money. t =“ Argentina the best of luck with her millionatres—and for ourselves hope for a radical change in luck with miany of our own.

The observances yesterday put all the baseball clubs on velvet until the Fourth of July, paid the expenses of the Gravesend track for the balance of the season, shovelled so much mazuma {nto Coney Island that it won't be counted for a week and witnessed the breaking of all sorts of records on land and sea. “In the dark days of '61 to '65, when the heroes were hiking over the battle-fields of the South in a brave endeavor to keep the United States from becoming a + siamese twin among nations, doubtless many of the if fighters bitterly figured that their deeds for the people would be forgotten. It takes a day like yesterday te show that these fears were built largely upon malaris and indigestion. ji “On every bascball fleld in the land the victories of the : armies of the North and the undying self-sacrifice of the . soldiers was celebrated by loud cries of ‘Kill the umpire!’ mobs on the race-tracks tried to kill the bookmakers, and the Irish athletes at Celtic Park tried to kill each | other.

Two candles are brought by the witch to her table. ghe begs the pardon of her uudience for bringing them on unlit, and says sie will proceed to correct the oversight at once. She reaches for a match, when, pretending to hear a re»? ) mark that there's nothing remarkablé in lghting candies (4° in that fashion, she merely cries, ‘That's so," Then she waves her withd and touches each wick with 4t; then she brings the wicks together, when each candle in- stantly flames up and continues to burn, says the Delineator, The secret of this trick Mes in a previous preparation of the wicks of the candles. One fn treated with a preparation of, chlorate of potassium and sugar, and thd extreme end of the other Is motstened with sulphuric acta, The acid should not be applied to the latter until a few moments bofore the candles are brought from behind the screen or from whatever other place the witch goes into re. tirement after each trick.
