This Is My 48th Birthday
Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis
(Palladium special) New York Feb. , 22. During the recent Chapman-Alexander evangelistic meeting in Brooklyn noon revivals were held at the Opera house. One day the early arrival at the theater were surprised to find the stage occupied by a ballot dancer rehearsing an oriental dance. During the morning hours the stage was always used for rehearsals, but as a rule care was taken to atop the rehearsals noma .time before the time set for the revival. On this occasion, however, the rehearsal was continued a lit t lo too long. It is an interesting fart that ou the following day, by a strange coincidence a large number of the revivalists arrived at the opera house morq than half an hour ahead of the lime set for the meeting.
When the first subway line in New York was opened to traffic in 1904, there were many persons who, realizing the enormous cost of the tunnels, seriously doubted that the traffic
would ever pay a fair return upon the
inveated capital. The figures published after the subway had been in op
eration for one year dispelled all misgivings as to the profitableness of the
system; but even that favorable show
ing was not believed to indicate that
there would be any appreciable in
crease for many years. Yet, after three years of operation the ticket sales on one single section, between Ninety-sixth street and South Ferry,
were greater than on the entire sys
tern during the first year of operation. During the year 1910 the ticket sales for the entire system aggregated
270,321,490, against 116.209,313 in 1905. This shows that the traffic has more than doubled during the last five years. The greatest Increase was reabove Ninety-Sixth street, which increased from 9, 112,575 in 1905 to 32,752,668 in 1910.
on a stove. It required considerable
coaxing and persuasion to convince
the girls that the electric irons are
quite harmless, if handled properly,
and do their work much better and quicker than the old fashioned, stove-
heated flatlrons. ,
Once more a cao has come to public notice. In which two half-grown
boys became amateur highway rob bers after they had witnessed a mov Ing picture show, depleting the meth
ods of modern highwaymen. The two youthful wouldbe robbers attacked two smaller boys, but were scared away before they had time to rob
them of their pennies. One of the lit
tle Yictlms, who had been roughly
handled by the "highwaymen," became so frightened, that the doctors feared be would not recover from the
shock. And still the moving picture
houses are permitted to display crimedepicting films, which are bound to cause trouble by suggesting imitation
of the depicted scenes to impressionable boys in the audience.
A burglar fond of crullers, music
and good clothes, broke Into the apart
ment of a wealthy resident of Mt.
Vernon the other night, feasted on a dozen crullers which be found in the
pantry and then left the premises, taking a silver cornet and a new suit of clothes with him as souvenirs. The
burglar evidently had a cast iron con
stitutlon, as he could not be found in
any of the hospitals, notwithstanding the fact that he had eaten half a doz
en crullers.
Some of the large clothing manufacturers In this city, who depend for their working force In the tailoring shops largely upon girls from the Polish and Russian-Jewish districts of the, lower East Side, were confronted with an unexpected predicament recently, after they had modernized their establishments by installing electric light, heat and power. Formerly the irons for pressing the finished garments were heated on stoves, but a great deal of time was lost by that antiquated method and the manufacturers introduced irons heated by electricity. For some -unaccountable reason the girls were afraid of the electric irons i and rather sacrificed their positions than to handle the mysterious instruments that would become hot without having been placed
Some mysterious idiot 1b evidently having a lot of fun at the expense of Dr. John W. Hill, pastor of the Metropolitan Temple, Seventh avenue and
fourteenth street. The ."Joker" adver
tised in the daily papers that 1000 men were wanted at 131 .West 118 street, Dr. Hill's home address. The result may be Imagined. A few days later the same joker advertised that some one In Dr. Hill's bouse wanted to
engage a theatrical company and for
many days Dr. Hill was overrun by
actors and actresses eager for an en gagement.

-It Cured My Back'
" For twenty-nine years I have
been at intervals a great sufferer from rheumatism. During that time, no telling how many gallons of the various kinds of liniments and oils I have used and with but little relief. Recently, I was confined to mytbed helpless. I tried Sloan's Liniment
and used it with such satisfactory results that I sent for two large bottles, and I have up to this time used about half a 50 cent bottle with splendid success." James Hyde, Beebe, White County, Ark. Got Ease in Less Than Ten Minutes. Mr. James E. Alexander, of North Harpswell, Me., writes: I am a horseshoer and subject to many strains in my back and hips which has brought on rheumatism in the sciatic nerve. I had it so bad one night when sitting in my chair, that I had to jump on my feet to get relief. I at once applied your

How New York Wastes Money.
From the New York World.
A committee appointed by Mayor
Gaynor is preparing a full list of land
belonging to the city for which no use has yet been found. Parcels worth $18,000,000 will be reported to the sinking fund commission. The water
department alone has seventy use
less acres of Jerome Park reservoir
lands, worth $2,000 a lot or more; and parcels in Westchester county bought
years ago, never needed and almost forgotten. There Is $4,000,000 worth
of school sites, often taken at extrav
agant prices to enrich politicians. There are Hunts Park and Klssena
Park of malodorous memory. Scarcely a department that has not had unneeded land sold to it. At a moderate estimate $10,000,000 worth of this land is so situated that it will never be needed and may best be sold. On that sum the city now pays four and one-quarter per cent interest, or $425.-
000. If the lands were sold, the city would presently get more than $100.000 in taxes from them a net -gain sufficient to pay the interest on six or
eight miles of local subways. This is only one of a hundred forms in which
graft and wa6te have pinched New York. If for ten years only the city
administration will keep incessantly
at the work of modernizing methods, eliminating graft, collecting the public dues, reforming its bookkeeping, standardizing and watching its purchases and if meantime it pursues a progressive policy of rapid transit and dock
improvement, we may easily enjoy
the lowest city taxation rate in the country.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
organisms are found plentifully In
persons who seem to suffer from nothing worse thaji a common cold -in the head. But in the seemingly gen- j ulne cases of grip the micrococcus that usually causes pneumonia is found. The Medical Journal hints that
all these basterial affections of the nose, throat and lungs are nearly allied, and calls impatiently for an Ehrlich to devise a specific bactericidal substance that will at once effectively deal with them.
Hard to Keep. From the Philadelphia Press. English divines have a plan to shorten the Ten Commandments. Condensation will not make it any easier to keep them.
English VijW. From London Opinion. Canada and U. S. not Canada and US.
Hritish exhibitos at the Argentine exposition held in Buenos Aires re
ceived an excellent return for their trouble, placing orders aggregating no
less than $14,599,000.
Kindness to Dumb Animals.
From the Columbus Dispatch.
Kansas City is going to try to de
velop a system by which teachers in
the public schools will be required to spend .half an hour each day in teach
ing children kindness to dumb anim
als. The humane society of that city has been asked to draw up a bill and
present to the. legislature which will
make this compulsory. Certainly par
ents should lead in such instruction,
and no child should be permitted to
have a pet cat, dog or bird, unless it
Is treated kindly. Such home instruction, extended by teachers in the
schools, will have a lasting benefit on
Children.
Cruelty is oftener due to thought
lessness than to a real intention of being unkind, and a word in time may prevent it. There is a financial side
to the treatment of animals, especial
ly to those on the farm. Neglect and cruelty there lessen the value of the stock, and the prices they might bring. Animals left .out in all kinds of weather are incapable of the best work, and certainly the selling price is lessened.
