FAIR PHONE RATES. AIR phone rates win. The long fight waged by The Evening F World to free New Yorkers from the unjust tax of extor- tionate telephone charges has broken down opposition and triumphed over delay. This week finds various forces which this newspaper has tire- feesly striven to bend to the single purpose of regulating telephone Mates in New York City at last convinced and united: (1) At Albany yesterday Lieut.-Gov. Wagner, leader of the Sen- ate Democrats, and Speaker Sweet, leader of the Assembly Republi- cans, announced that both houses favor inserting in the Appropriation bills an item to provide for the expenses of the up-State Public Service Commission in valuing the New York Telephone Company's property in New York City ee a basis for fixing new and equitable telephone charges. : @) Gov. Glynn has put himself emphatically on record as in favor of giving the Public Service Commission means to proceed with euch an appraisal. (8) Chairman Van Santvoord, of the up-State Public Service Commiesion, says that the Commission only awaits the appropriation to get to work immediately, and declares: “We have been arranging for it in advance and there will be no delay as soon as the Legislature provides the funds.” . (4) Senator Foley, Chairman of the Legislative Joint Com- mittee on Telephones, assures the public that his committee “has not been idle” and hopes “that before the year is out New York will have 8 rate echedule satisfactory to all telephone users.” (5) Officers of the New York Telephone Company bow to the inevitable. They declaro that they now desire a revision of rates and will co-operate with the State in securing a valuation, Indifference, hostility, evasion, delay, the machinations of lobby- fete and agents have one and all been overeome by the determination ef The Evening World to assert the rights of overburdened telephone ‘score in New York City. Opposition has given up the fight. Toll gates between boroughs must go. A five-cent phone charge throughout Greater New York must surely come. : OH ‘Thieves are having happy times in the city’s new fifteen million dollar municipal building. Several weeks ago brass fittings and plumbing fixtures began to disappear. Fire hose nossles have been torn from their wall fastenings and ex- pensive lavatory equipment carried away piecemeal. Night before last the gang, encouraged by past successes, entered Borough President Marke’s offices, pried open desks ané ransacked their contents. ‘The completion of the city’s costly hotel de ville, already far beyond the time fixed by contract, seems Mkely to be further postponed. If thieves haul away material as the contractors install it the date of the housewarming remote, Owners of private structures are interested in their own and guard it against theft. Everybody's building seems to be nobody's building. This is the second time Bor- ough President Marks has asked the Police Commissioner for aid tn behalf of the Municipal Building.

Now I knew a damsel of Babylon, who was called “#0-t0.” And upon a day when she found ONE space upon the walls of her house where there hung no picture of herself, she cried: | “Lo! to-morrow will 1 seek the photographer, that 1 may be ‘taken’ For it is so hard for me to get a GOOD Jikeness.” uy And when the morrow had arrived she covered her face with chalk,” and curled her hair mightily, and stained her lips with pomegranate ané@™ Up-rouge, and her eyebrows with charcoal, so that none her. And when the photographer had draped her shoulders with tulle, se that the bones were hidden, and had powdered her side-bair, he admonished her, saying: “Behold the birdie! Yes, 1 beseech thee, cast not thine eyes toward | Heaven and discard the ‘set smile,’ I prithee, if thou wouldst have thy |pleture to resemble thee.” But the maiden was wroth, and turned upon him, saying: “Who hath told thee that I wish my photograph to look like ME? Nay, verily, if thou canst not make it look like unto Maxine Elliott and Lillian Russell and Anna Held, then I will seek another photographer.” And beholg when the portrait was finished it was a thing of beauty, whereof not a single lineament resembled the damsel. But the maiden rejoiced exceedingly, crying: “Is it not a PERFECT likeness?” And her friends, who were wise, winked privily, and answered: “Yea, yea, but it doth not do thee JUSTICE!” My daughter, the fool,hath said, “The camera cannot lie.” But I say unto thee, Ananias was but an amateur beside it. For the photographer {s a wizard, who transformeth a snub-nosed | brunette into a classic blonde, and turneth a fat blonde into a sylph-like , brunette. Wrinkles vanish at his touch, dimples appear at his summons; and with a papier mache tiara and two yards of tulle, he converteth a queen of |the chorus into a society debutante. | As a frank husband on the “morning after,” so is a photograph BE- | FORE the retouching—stranger and more terrible than fiction. But AFTER the retouching it is sweeter and more flattering than as old man who hath just met a debutante. Behold, while the photographer worketh silently, I shall be content. But when he saith: “Alas, we cannot photograph ‘PERSONALITY'!” then shall I hasten in to the Beauty Specialist for repairs. For I shall know that I am passee. Lo! an actress may wax fat and acquire three chins, but her phote- graph groweth younger every season withal.
