In seeking an injunction to prevent the city from putting the new taxicab ordinance into effect Aug. 1 the hotel men and the taxicab companies brazenly tighten their clutch on the public streete. The claim that hotel proprietors can ecll the use of city thorough- fares for $400,000 « year and then help the taxicab companies to filch that sum and more from the pockets of the public, is and always will be an insult to the people who rightly own the etreets, The law is ylein. As the Mayor says, these grabbers have no more right to monopolize the streets than they have to eeize the parks. , _ One thing is obvious. These barterers of privilege are too sod- fenly selfish and ignorant ever to grasp the meaning of public eervice. They have had their chance to recognize the public demand for an ypen and honest taxicab system. They deliberately choose to remain s@len, to skulk behind privilege, to antagonize and make enemies of gl fair-minded people. If the taxicab monopolies want fight, let them have it. Better ferthe city and the courts to drive them from the field and clear the Ground for progressive companies who will see in the taxicab business @pportunity for something besides graft and extortion. ——-4- => —_____ flasn't New York hotels enough now without promoting ten- room boarding-houses to that doubtful dignity?

T* $6,000,000 awarded by the Commissioners of Appraisal is not enough to satisfy owners of the property needed for the new County Court House site at Worth and Centre etreets. These discontented persons want the Supreme Court to hold up the award on the ground that they should have at least $10,000,000. Before the Court House wes talked of anybody could have bought @his came land for $3,000,000. So it goes. The city plans a big centre which will immediately improve a down-at-the-heel neighborhood. It names a generous sum which it is ready to pay for euch land as it needs. And directly all the property owners concerned put their heads together to see how they can bleed the city treasury of millions more, Mugt every public improvement not’ only find money for itself but provide fat pickings for the very section it will most benefit?

BROOKLYN PRELATE severely blames the mothers of to-day A for the prevalence ef paint and powder and immodest dress. “We are living in e pandemonium of powder, a riot of rouge and « moral anarchy of dress,” he declares, all because mothers are “off the job.” He may be right. Parente to-day edmire their children more than they train them. Mothers make “companions” of their daugh- tere. Rather than lose the flattering sense of comradeship with the youngsters, many s mother, and father too, lets them go uncor- rected. It is'often a sad-sight these days to see the old folks etrug- ging by means of indulgence and admiration to keep the careless effection of their cock-snre and superior offepring.

He was I at least twenty-ix, and in epite of hie devotion to Angelica, never missed his datly chat with “Sweet Sixteen,” as he called me. My governess, who, by mamma's instructions, acted as my bodyguard, was my confidante; and I believe even prim Miss L. nursed a secret admira- tion for Lawrence, because she never seemed tired of my girlish gushing over him. Angelica B— was a fascinating coquette, who, while one fiance went out West to make @ worthy portion for her, flirted with Lawrence until he lost hia heart and reason and persuaded her to accept him instead of the soldier of fortune, She did not even take the trouble to let the other one know of her change of heart until after she was eafely married. It was whispered that she was afraid that he might come back and cause some unpleasantness, ‘They were married in the autumn, and after that I met them during the summertime at Bar Harbor or in winter at Palm Beach or Virginia, and on two or three occasions in London and Paris, where Angelica continued to be the radiant, vivacious, irresistible creature of her girlhood and Lawrence was still her devoted lover. ° The next thing I heard was that Lawrence and Angelica had parted and that Angelica was already engaged to another man, Lawrence had heroically given her a divorce and had sent her new victim a telegram eaying: ‘I stole her from one. You stole her érom me, Look out that another does not stea her from you." After the scandal and gossip about their separation had made place for the ecandal and gossip about some one else I again met Lawrence, who atill called me “Sweet Sixteen,” although I had grown older just as we all must. He was to my mind more charming even than in my “green” days, when a man ten years older than t made me feel unsophisticated and unimportant, My old time fondness for him wan revived. It was as though something you had thought about but never dreamed could happen ‘had so suddenly been made possible that you could not realize it had actually taken place, No girl could long doubt that a man was seriously in love with her if he trated her as Lawrence tPaiied me, And although I knew his caring for me was no superficial, sudden feeling, I aald to him the night he asked me to marry him: “Do you not think you are rushing matters when Angelica has not been married yet?" Lawrence aatd: “Why, my dear, Angelica has not married yet because the divorce has not yet been entirely settled,” 1 was listening to a proposal from @ married man!
