Mr. Hedley Repeats Promise of Better Service on the Third Avenue “L,”” STARTS NEXT MONDAY. East Side Rejoices Over Pros- pect of Early Rellef from Unbearable Conditions, ‘HELP FOR SECOND AVENUE, Interborough Company Looks Ahead to Construction of Additional Sub- waye—One Under Central Park. Aoused by the fight of The Even- fos Wortd, the Interborough Com- pany, through its general manager, Breok Hodley, to-day renewed its , Dledge to provide better service on end j Get @oon the Third Avenue Blevated > Railroad to raise the transit facilities on Une to the highest standard as as possible, ‘ Agents of the State Rallroad Com- | Bilwelon who, as a’ result of the Aght | Gor improved service instituted by ‘The Bening Worl), have been quietly in- @peoting th: road, will lay before Mr, Wediey to-day their recommendations * Qnd @ general improvement in trans. portation facilities all over the city will soon be noted, Four new trains will be put on next | Monday. Each train ig to nave six @ars, and will stop at every station, There is great rejoicing all over the east side over this promise of relief from unbearable conditions, Besides renewing his pledge to bet- ter the enst alde elevated service Mr. Hedley told The Evening World re- Dorter this morning that it was the ultimate aim of the Interborough Company to give to New York the Most complete and eMolent system of tranait, both elevated ond under- Ground, in the world, The plan, if carrried into effect, will mean the bhp ce Parallel series of tun- els from the Batt to the w end of Manhattan island and "the Brony, extending almost from the East io the Hudson River, Vo Improve Present Service, “We will begin,” sald Mr. Hedley, “by improving to the limit the aervice on the yresent ‘L' lines and in the Sub- yay. and when franch:sos are offered from time to time, 18 they must be, for tunnils running no-th and south under Nearly every avenué in the city we hope to be the successful bidders, New York + @ fapidly growing city, It is worthy Of the finest transit serv.ce in the world. Ten or fifteen years from now there cannot be too many roads to catry the peop who will patyonie them if nn eM. lent service is maintained, and the management of any railroad which did not see th.s and be prepared to take ad- vantage of it woud be useless to its employers, “All that we can ¢o now Is to Improve the service on the roads we have in band, and this we vill do to the best of our ability, With thy present structures, with ther Inadequate terminul facilities, ebout all we can d% In the way of bet- tering the elevatey service is to In- crease the number of trains, and this ean fF) done only tesa tlinited extent, It takes so many seconds to get a train in nd even in the cannot be shori- uired: for thls pur- pose; but lon demands we ure prepared to Invredse the service right up to the Hmit.

ROAD. Train Hite Man hrows in Front of Exprenns, While crossing the Long Island tracks at Richmond Hill to-day Charles Har- roll, thirty-seven years old, was hit by two trains and cut to p.eces, Harroll was a butcher and manager for Rils Bros, at Jamaica avenue and Park street, Richmond ifiil, Arriving at the station he started to the eastbound track in front of a local train, He was knocked on to the o-her track in the path of a westbound ex- press and was ground under the wheels, ,” One of the pathetic features of the ace elident ts that Harroll had planned to be married next week, a ARRESTED IN PLAYHOUSE, Alleged Thief Made Prisoner tn the Broady Theatre After Chane, Watchman Clark, of the Broadway Theatre, discovered a man in the the- tre to-day and summoned Patrolman Connelly, of the West Forty-severth Gtreet station, who entered the play- house with Clark to put the man under arrest, The Intruder gave the two men a lively chase about the stage and through the aisles of the thentre, but was aptured, At the police station the prisoner ra his name as Moses Oppenhelmer, ‘Th lice say he is als ‘orton, When searched sixteen tickets were found In his pockots for articles the police say y from the Broadway Theuire, | ener was held In $1,000 ball for ton, these vd run making every stop on te For Japanese Fig Benent, ‘An entertainment for the benefit of fhe families of the Japanese soidiers and gallors will be given to-morrow et 1 under the ausp.ces of the Japanese Stu. dent Club of Colum! he Young Mena © Hen on West Twenty-third te fe the 20th unnive) \Pasaity od the Japsnens | § \ is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,’ .| Deonle know EDGE TO EVENING WORLD | FOR MORE TRAINS the road.

It was not planned t> open the Subway to the public until it was completed, So far as the upper ends of the roads are concerned, we are operating the tube with improvised and | inefficlont terminals, So far as I know, however, the Subway service Is eminently satis- factory to the public, Let me say that when the extensions are opened and we reach our regular termfinals, the service will be far superior to that of to-day. "In the spring the franchise for the east side tunnel is to be let. The Inter- borough will bid for it, and hopes to be successful, If so, we will bulld and equlp a tunnel up Lexington avonue superior to the one now in operation, Both In the construction and the equip- ment of it we will use the present Subway merely as a guide, Wherever improvements can be made, they will be, All the weak points In this Subway will be eliminated and the most ap- Proved methods introduced.

A good temperance woman was led, in a very pecullar way, to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups, and she is now the more charitable, She writes: “For many years I was a great sufferer from asthma, Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lie down, but walked the floor whilst others slept, I got so neryous { could not rest anywhere. “Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee—the main thing that I always thought gave me some rellef, I consulted our family phy- siclan, and he, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice, Coffee had such a charm for me vhat In passing a res- taurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup, felt very lenient towards the drunk- ard who could not pass the saloon ¥rlenils often urged me to try Pos- tum, but I turned a deaf ear, saying ‘That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me— coffee and I will never part.’ “At last, however, I bought a pack- age of Postum, although I was sure T could not drink ft, T prepared it as directed, and served {t for breakfast. Well, bitter as I was against it, 1 must say that never before had 1 tasted a more delicious cup of coffee! From that day to this (more than 2 yeiirs) I have never had a desire for the old coffee. My healt soon re- turned; began to sleep well and In a short time I gained 20 pounds in welght. “One day I handed my physician | the tablets he had prescribed for me. j telling him I had no use for them | He stayed for dinner, When I passed | him his coffee cup he remarked, ‘I am glad to sce you were sensible j enough not to let yourself be per- aded that coffee was harmful. This ‘the trouble is so few how to make good cof- fee, When he got his second cup | told him he was drinking Pestum, He was Imeredutous, but 1 con« vinoed him, and now he uses nothing but Postum in his home, and has | greal improved in health.” Name | given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, Look {nm each package for the fa- mous little book "The Road to Well- ville” he continued; the asthma disappeared, 1! ‘THE BIG STORE |S vest, peplum finish new kilted skirt, all shades, MISSES’ FANCY MIX. folk effects; plaited skirt, SIXTH AVE. pen MISSES’ ALL-WOCL BLOUSE SUITS, —New yoke effec:, nicely tailored; fancy I.75 TURE SUITSintheNor- i, JD) §O CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER STORE ACITY INITSELY OPER(G.
