MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOLS I
The Board of Education ask for over 12000000 for
I
new schoolhouses and sites That Is n Inrce amount of i
r money but Now York Is a large city
1 Twelve millions for New York are about I
Ii to seven millions for Chicago or four millions for PhilI
ty adelpbla or two millions for Boston or 1200000 fort
r Bon Francisco or 300000 for Now Haven In other j
t words If the Board of Education of Yales home town I
i should nsk for one good modern schoolhouse they would
b I
be relatively In Just tho position occupied by the Board
of Education of Now York I

WORK FOR THE ART COMMISSION i
t Describing the duties of the Municipal Art Commls r
r elon the Now York City charter says
X IJ = eatter no work of art shall become the property or
r the city of New York by purchase gift or otherwise union
t fie work of Art or n design of the name shall
lint have been submitted to and npprovrd by the com
n mission nor shall such work of nrt until so approved
tie frertod or placed In or upon or nllowrd to cxtcpil over
1 nr upon any street avenue square common pnrk munlcl
V building or other public place belonging to the city
Among works of art as defined by the charter are
Included paintings and mural decorations The picture
of whiskey and sauce bottles placed by authority of Park
Commissioner Pallas upon tho fence surrounding tho
new public library are both By their attachment to rcnl
estate belonging to the city they become city property
Just think of all the lettering and pictures those ar
tists could slap on em said Mr Pallas In discussing his I
dell of turning nil tho citys open spaces Into billboards
t Pictures slapped on by artists plainly come under tho I
i I of works of art whether Impressionist secessionist
academic does nr matter They nro clearly subject
t z to the critical review of tho Municipal Art Commission I
I
The Ilrnrtlj Transfer It aecmi that the Metropolitan
Railroad phllanthroplfitn havn not nhaiidoiifvl ttiolr
benevolent regard for the puhlln mfrty after all They
have nppealPd to tho Legislature for n law authorizing
l them to refuse transfers nt points where the congestion
9l would cause danger to life or limb Peopln who pay
pxtn fares may continue to risk their necks without
l objection I

A VACUUM EASILY FILLED r
Whether it wan economy or pique against the
United Statea that led tho Russian Government to de
s cide to abandon Its exhibit nt the St Louis Worlds i
t t Fair tho effect of this action is not likely to be what
Its authors desired It is announced that every foot of
l space giver up by Russia will be applied for by Japan
p I Thus the Japanese will display themselves nfl a I
1 power that can win martial nnd industrial victories j
over Russia at the same time Her occupation of Busi
h sJap space at St Louis would be a veritable business
7 conquest The Japanese display would be the centre
of attraction at the Fair and thn whole world would
y look upon It as the symbol of the triumph of a rising i
over a declining power i
r EixcesilTe InnUlimeni Because a woman Is discovered
dying from the effects of n fall downstairs does not seem
sufficient reason for carting her off In a patrol wagon
Yt
k f When ambulance Is equally available A fair view
tof the circumstance of falling downstairs Ic that It Is
Ji more apt to be a misfortune than a crime
THE GENTLEMAN BURGLAR I
There is no such creature as a gentleman burglar j
I Tho term Is an anomaly However thero Is a creature
of the Imagination who has made possible the use of
the term Ho appears In a book or a play In real lIfo i
Y
there Is no place for him Nature and circumstance
may produce a white blackbird but before the task of
creating the Impossible come to a definite pause II
r According to report some young male suffering from
t that weariness which results from an abundance of i
f i money leisure and social demands has turned burglar
lust for mental relief Even then ho Is not a gentle
man burglar but a particularly vulgar thief Tho ordl1
nary housebreaker at least refrains from betraying
i friends This specimen Rallies
accepts hospitality so
I as to spot tho valuables of his host I
2 However since he Is In quest of excitement tho best i
V course Is to give him plenty of It To bo grasped by
It a1 policeman would abate his yearnings In a measure +
Tp be dragged into court would reduce him to a mate
fcr mind almost normal A service In the penitentiary I
would cure him It ought to be a long term of service
partly for tho crlmo of burglary but partly for the I
pretence ot being a gentleman I

Jerome Is One
11 Cook Ahead
w of Parkhurst
SEE said the Cigar Store Man that Jerome
Is In the limelight again
I
Hes In good too answered the Man
Higher Up That 405000 scream Is all to
the mustard A lot of people will think It Is
on tho level
I
Jerome Is no piker When he beaks through tho
barrier to burn up amllllonalres money he Is there with 1
tour alarms Jeromo Is cast wrong lIe ought to be In
the circus buslnesa or working for Sydney Rosenfeld An
Imagination like his In the DistrictAttorneys office Is
like a gold dinner service In a Home for the Indigent
Blind
When he got back from his vacation In the trapped
whisker country he found cobwebs all over the Pub
licity Department of the Criminal Courts Building His
monthly bill from the press clipping bureau was only
384 There hadnt been a trick turned ID his office
that was worth more than a stick In any newspaper
Ono of his stalwart assistant1 had shooed The Ox out i
of the Tombs where he had been confined for the barrel
murder but the shooing of criminals out of Jail has got
to be so common thatthe public dont fall to It for more
than a soft grunt
Dr Parkhurst had him skinned a mile Nearly
every day there was something In the papers shout the
Lid It is Dr Parkhursts Lid and every Deference
to It In the newspapers was a slap on the wrist to Je
rome Then Dr Parkhurst came into the stretch a city
block ahead of all the notoriety framers by Insulting the
memory of Abraham Lincolns mother and It wan UD to
the DistrictAttorney to get good and busy
So he went up to Albany and sprung a gook with
bells on It A plant to excite the public Is like a boom
for the Presidential nomination It always goes better
when It Is doped up away from hcie This revelation
about the millionaire with a sevenday souso who lost fc
405000 against a brace faro bank Is about as artistic
ns anything that has been turned out since the Cardiff
Giant The press clipping bureau that looks after the
District Atterneys office has had to put on extra hands
and Dr Parkhurst Is biting the ends off his own whisk
ers In despair
Dont you suppose that anybody told the District
Attorney about this young man losing 405000 at faro
asked the Cigar Store Man J
Sure replied the Man Higher Up New York Is
full of stringers
The Susceptible New York Man
RO Nixola Greel 9Smith
TTOU think New York men are hard
you please fastidious critical and
nil that saId a visiting Ast
ern beauty the other day And they
pride themselves on being so but as a
matter of fact theyre the most sus
ceptible men In the world Why
theyre so easy as to be scarcely worth
while
It was certainly an original point
view and so Interesting that her IIstelVl
IT asked her to elucidate It
You know she continued In re
sponse to the request Ive ten nil
rSVwl Y over the NXj11 and have pent weeks Ie
amiBs San Kranclio and Denver and Chlcaw Tr
go and Ive never attracted half the attention that I do
right here In New Yorknothats not It NYork you say
It ovcr again so that when I go back home Ill know how
I wasnt any wallflower out West either The men l 1
I new were very attentive to me Dut In New York its the
men I dont know
Do all New York girls look alike I wonder and do they
all look like me I ask because I cant walk two blocks
on Broadway wlthoiH some man that I cant remember
having seen beforo walking up to me with his hat In hit
hand and saying Good afternoon Miss Johnson or some
other name that I cant catch And you know I dont rev
member them and I have to say so And the poor men look
so foolish arid walk away I really feel sorry for them
And they are always HO admiring
Tho other evening Just after dinner I took a letter uj
to tho letterbox Just half n block from bur boarding
house I was holding my mull In one hand and my skirts In
the other and I had some trouble In getting the lid of the
box o1 nyou know I put my mud under my arm and
when I looked up an awfully nice young man seemed to
have sprung from somewhere and he was saying Pardon
me but may I assist you Madame And I said he might
And he mailed tho letter But then he seemed to think ho
ought to BIO met home lie said such n young and beautiful
girl ought not to be out by herself at that hourIt was half
t
lost 7 I told him that It really wasnt necessary and hs
went away But I could see that he admired me very
muchThen
Then you know that afternoon that I bought those two
lovely opera cloak for my trousseau I had agreed to
meet Elsie and her fiance In a Broadway restaurant for
dinner and I got there five minutes ahead of time Well
there was a group of four men nt tho table next the ono
where I sat nnd they nil admired me nnd talked about mo
BO much that I was embarrassed and thought I would go
away After a while three of the four men left but tho
one who remained was more admiring than all of them put I
had been And finally he called
together a waiter who came
over to me and enid the gentleman would like to know If
there was anything the lady would like I returned word
Absolutely nothing thank you and Just then George and
Elsie tame In
The Western girl paused jind for a while the New York
girl stared at her in silence
So you really think New York men are susceptible
she naked finally And the Western girl replied perhaps
ambiguously
I really think they nrethe limit
