Four-car trains after rush hours have - Deen reduced to three, and in some Instances six-car Se trains have been cut in two. That !s, while twenty-one cars have been “added,” many more have been sub- tracted, with the result of prolonging the strap-hanging hours through the entire day, Spectal complaint ts r of conditions of discomfort on the Third avenue wo line due to this curtailment of train capacity between the morning and evening rush hours, Light 18 thrown on some contributory causes of the Ga.

Noy, 1 and 2 of this year, while the Subway was still eo attracting the transient patronage of the curious, ele- yated receipts wore $3,000 in excess of those for the cor- ; ) Fesponding days of last year, That 1s, the road was then 4 earrying soma 60,000 more passengers daily than @ year “ago. To handle this new business under normal atrap-| hanging conditions, or with one hundred passengers to! & car, would require eighteen round trips from Harlem to the Battery by nine trains of four cars each, Has such an improvement of train service been mado ‘to accommodate the new trafic? The Evening World ‘#e recalls no public announcement to that effect, Tho actual fact, which no jugglery of addition or subtraction -of cars can obscure, is that the conditions of “1.” travel sare worse with the Subway in operation than when com- | plaints of their inadequacy were loudest, and are go bee ‘yemuse of the fallure of the management to make proper! iprovision for the increaso of patronage. | Meantime the public may be pardoned a natural curt- regarding the destination of the $3,000 of increased receipts, Is the entire sum, amounting in rough to a million a year, to go Into Interborough divi- qi@ends with no part of it spent for an tmproved service? ‘i op BPiveproot Ferry-Boats.—Tho announcement ts made that om all the new Erlo ferry-bomts the side walls of the deck house will be bullt of steel, while also the floor of the after deck over the team gangway will be of steel con- stpuction and lined with asbestos, Vehicles on the boats | will thus in effect be Inclosed tn a steel compartment, to | which any fire originating there can readily ba confined. | Geveral fires of such origin on the East River have rerl- | @asly imperilicd the lives of passengers and demonstrated | ‘the noed of fireproof ferry-boats.

CAUSES OF DIVORCE. Tn-consiering the formidable total of 60,000 divorces | im the United States last year {t 18 to be borne in| that hardly more than one-fifth were due to alle- | tions of infidelity, the cause which 1s the sole ground a decree in New York and the sole ground which a jal divorce law would be expected to recognize. + It ts one of the worst features of the divorce evil in F i mations, but particularly in that one in which, In 4 Doane’s words, divorce has been made “a fine aye local industry,” that the cause which alone should ‘warrant an absolute separation {s the one least fre- ) }qnently alleged. Of the 428,716 divorces granted in the Ec, Waited States from 1867 to 1886, 67,696, or 20.6 per cent. 4 were for violation of the marriage vows, Of 18,452 * cent., were for infidelity. In France, out of 83,520 di- ‘vorces {n forty years, only 7,890, or less than 10 per cent., were for this offense. In States where desertion or cruelty or general In- ,Gecree, or where, as tn Wisconsin, a voluntary sep ©? tion lasting five yeare suflices, a less criminating allega- tion than that of infidelity may be made to avold #4 Notoriety.
