SCHEME to slice off a strip of Brona*Park and use it asa A storage yard for subway cars has been pushed along so quietly by the Public Service Commission that a bill enabling the! commission (o take over the park property is already half way through the Legislature. As the Public Service Commission proposes to turn over to the park in return o triangular plot of slightly larger area just south of the car yard site, the transaction appears on the face of it not unfair. The Bronx Park authbrities, the Bronx River Parkway Associa- tion and the New York Zoological Society are alarmed, however, lest the granting of the proposed tracks involves also a right of way which may mean their later use for through trains. Furthermore—the land selected for the car yard is one of the) most uncultivatedly beautiful sections of the park. On it grow three hundred fine pin oaks. If the plan goes through, these trees will be sacrificed to tracks. The city’s ruthless indifference to trees is notorious. It has let “improvement” destroy them as fast as it chose. It has few left in its streets. It neglects those in ite squares. Every wooded area that { eurvives in ite parks should be defended to the last. a + oho TRAIN ROBBERY UP-STATE. [ ANYBODY had told us that train bandits could successfully! hold up a train of “specially preferred” freight, load $50,000 Worth of booty into big automobile trucks and get safely away with it, we should have said “What part of the West?” That it can happen right here in the Empire State, on the New York Centra) Railroad, hardly a score of miles from Buffalo, is good for us to know. he’most daring train robbery that this part of the| country has ever seen bad all the thrills that an Arizona job could furnish. Nobody was killed in the Sanborn hold-up, but bullets flew frecly and the engineer's escape with his engine for an eight mile dash to Suspension Bridge gave an additional touch. That the four five-ton auto lorries used by the thieves to carry aff the plunder will betray the gang and lead to a speedy capture seems certain.

Lincoln, distracted and unable to control a grief destined eventually to unbalance her reason, sat on a sofa in the front parlor of the house, a few feet from the death chamber. Her son, Robert, sought in vain to comfort her, T intervals in the night Mra Lincoin was led to the bedside of her dying husband. She remained with him from 1.45 to 2.10, and at 3 o'clock again visited him. Before she entered the room the surgeons spread clean napkins to hide the orimeon stains on the pillow; yet when she saw how distorted and plainly marked with death's seal was her husband's face she fell in a swoon to the floor. When she had been restored and was led to the bedside she addressed her dying husband with the words: “O love, Itve but for one moment to | speak to me onoe—to speak to our children!” | In compassion she was led away.
