Certified milk has been found to be expensive, but generous citizens are contributing to a fund to enable even the poorest mother | to obtain it for her child. Science, charity and law work together | in solving each problem as it arises. Thus, perhaps, the day is not distant when pure milk in ample quantity will be obtainable by every , industrious household in the city. | —__—___-++ OPERA AND GARDEN. GAINST the raise in the price of orchestra chairs | at the opera thero will doubtless be some pro- | test. It is not likely, however, to prevent the change. Through @ long process of dovelop- ment and under the moulding power of various forces grand opera has become one of tho costliest of human enjoyments. ‘Those that de- mand it in perfection must pay the price. | But with the acceptance of the programme for augmenting tho | price of operatic music there will come an added demand for larger provision for rendering high class music, vocal and orchestral, at popular prices. Since the wealthy are to have “the best ever” in the way of the music they delight in, why should not others have an, equally high standard in the music they like? | In short, why should not Madison Square Garden be saved. to New York for her music and for her people that cannot afford | opera? ree NOT WASTED. | UT of the investigation of the circumstances at- tending the deposits of city funds with the Carnegie Trust Company, it appears there have already come two good results—first, the cash of the city is now being placed with institutions of the highest class only; second, the publica- tion of the letter of City’ Chamberlain Hyde has caused the Grand Jury to extend its inquiry further than it might otherwise have done. Even then if the investigation does not bring to light sufficient evidence to assure conviction of guilt, if any may haw been instru- mental in the wrecking of the company, it will at least have duced results of good in ample measure to compensate the cost. As the man who threw a stone at a dog and hit his mother-in-law aid, the stone was not wasted, so neither will this inquiry be wasted no matter who is hit. It pays to turn the light every once in a while upon all sorts of dark corners. Something worth seeing is always | shown up. —-—+¢0 VAGARIES CF A DAY. . ESTERDAY’S news presented an unusually in- teresting array of human vagaries, A Connecticut girl about to make a trip to Bermuda had her | fiance arrested and sent to the State farm in| order that he might be kept sober during her ab- sence. An Ithaca clergyman in a public address | urged that every school be provided with a statue | of a nude man and of a nude woman as a moral uplift for the pupils. Some doctors in this city offered $26 for a quart of human blood to be pumped into the veins of a failing patient. New Haven de- veloped a news item out of the birthday of a citizen who has his hair cut and his beard shaved only once a year. A litigant in Jer- sey City paid a clairvoyant good money to give “absent treatment” to the judge and jury and influence them in his favor. Chicago reported a chairmaker who announced himself to be Duke of Ropeza and advertised that he would stand in the park wearing a red rose that heirerses might see him and make their offers.
