P, Fitzgerald, intends to inject a lit- tle “New York snap” into the Puri- tan metropolis, That staid old town, it is alleged, lacks the Manhattan “get-up-and-get.” “She needs life put into her,” and it will be the Mayor's éndeavor to “transplant some of the New York article,” In the embarrassment of opportu: nities New York offers, where will the Boston Mayor begin to make Se OP er re, NEW YORK THRO’ FUNNY GLASSES ies wt By I. 8. COBB. a a | HERE was a typical American writer who came to Now York to stir up the animals for a typical An can magazine. The circulation of the magazine wasn't much bigger than a Harlem milk-route; but | it Was powerfully strong on detecting fraud and exposing shame, It made a speciality of yanking pillars of society out of thelr shams, Some+ | times the printer who set up the editorials ran out of exclamation points before the middle of the week, The typical American writer laid in a ton of copy paper and proceeded to cook this poor defenseless town a rich and crispy brown, Before he took it off the stove the gravy was all dried up. He called his first article “Gotham the Gilded.” Those recently arrived from the headwaters of South Bend creek always call jt Gotham This Hterary yeggman started in by saying New York was thy most westerly of Continental cities. Although separated fiom the North American mainland only by the Harlem River, an exceedingly narrow stream, it yet retvined, he said, all the debasing and enervating characteristics of the other populous centres of Europe. He failed to find a single good red core puscle of real American blood on. Fifth avenue, Slavish subserviency to British and French ideals were reflected even in the naming of our great, gaudy, over-decorated hotels and apartment-houses, Nowhere on Broadway could he find a ‘hotel or apartment-house named for Carrie Nation or _ Selection ? Will he try our snappy police squad system, and adapt for use in Bos- ton our superior devices for thiefatching and vice-control? Will he seck Suggestions for clean streets from Commissioner Woodbury, point ers on how to pack trolley cars from Vreeland, processes in Subway air purification from Hedley? From the Bridge Commission he could learn how not to build bridge terminals, Mr, Belmont could enlighten him on how to build tunnels on worm-eaten franchises, The Board of Health could show him how to suppress noise in a great city. Everything, from an Aldermanic hold-up to a life-insurance company run for the benefit Of its officers, is his to study. Harriman might tell him how to govern | @ State, if he is ambitious, Where so many snappy ideas present themselves the difficulty will be! where to choose, ‘ NY wat Should Consumptives Marry? Dr, Valentino, of Paris, says that there is no reason in the world why two people with consumptive tendencies should not marry. They cannot | transmit the disease to their children, who are, he Suggests, apt to be “immunes,” If this is true, and it is in accord with modern discoveries, a deal of unnecessary unhappiness has been inflicted upon consumptive lovers who | have been told that they ought not to marry. The fact is that consumption could be made as unknown as the black death” in sixty years if there were any power great enough to compel people to let sunlight and fresh air into their homes, and any nation * civilized enough to abolish poverty, | | | | New Ideals in Insurance. Paul Morton's ambition to make the Equitable “not the biggest, but ‘the best,” is a radical departure from old ideals of life insurance.
