MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Prof. L. 8. Rowe says it is important to point out that the experience of the last few years has shown the far-reaching conse­quences of unsystematic accounting in the industrial enterprises of the municipality. The recent leasing of the Philadelphia Gas Works furnishes a striking instance. After some 60 years of municipal management the works were turned over to -a.private com­pany, largely because of the failure of the published accounts to give a correct state­ment of the financial condition of the enter­prise.

Each year the reports showed a large sur­plus which stifled the criticism to which the management would otherwise have been sub­jected. In fact, the deterioration in the quality of gas was largely due to the brilliant financial reports.

When the attack upou the city's works was opened by the companies desiring to obtain the franchise, it was found that in­stead of gross profits having been applied to the repair and improvement of the works, no account had been taken of depreciation and deterioration. During the decade 1887-1)7 over $5,000,000 of gro*# profits were used to reduce the tax rate.

Under such conditions it was compara­tively easy for the franchise-seekers to show that under the city management the gas works had been permitted to sink into a dilapidated condition. The popular feeling aroused by the exposure led to the abandon­ment of municipal management. Had the financiering of the gas works been made to conform to sound business principles, says Prof. Rowe, they would never have reached the low plane of efficiency which made them easy prey for the corporation which now en­joys a monopoly of the gas service in Phila­delphia.

The best disposition the city of Detroit can make of its public lighting plant, says Public Policy, is to follow the example of

poration to be operated under contract.

TENEMENT HOUSE EXHIBITION.

TUNNEL CoMPANr^August Belmont was elected President of the Rapid Transit Sub­way Construction Company, which will build the tunnel. The contract for the work will be signed on Saturday.

BASKETBALL.—The New Britain crack five will oppose the Fourth Separate Com­pany team, at the Armory, on Thursday night. A close and exciting contest if sure to be the result; so don't fail to see it.

NEARLY $4,000 PAID IN.—At the office of

the Yonkers Building and Loan Association, last evening, the members paid in subscrip­tions to the amount of $3,833.83. The sale of money will be held on Friday evening.

MCKINLET CLUB MEETING.—A meeting of

the William McKinley Club will be held in Grand Army Hall, 3 Main street, near Getty Square, this evening, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of forming a permanent organiza­tion.

GBAHST SPRAIN LAKE.—The water in the

Grassy Sprain Lake is 4Mi fee* below the overflow line. As the level rises it requires more water to fill up, on account of the sloping banks, and therefore the progress up­wards is slower.

SENIOR CLASS HONORS AT VASSAB.—

Honors have been awarded in the senior class at Vassar, on the basis of all work done in the college course, to Miss Mabel P. Schmidt, of Indianapolis; Miss Alice M. Burnham and Miss Florence M. Brownell, of Hamilton, N. Y.; Miss Grace Andrews, of Yonkers, and six others.

MARTHA WASHINGTON PARTY. — The

King's Daughters of Warburton Avenue Bap­tist Church will hold a Martha Washington pound party and sale of useful article* to­morrow evening, at 8 o'clock, at the resi­dence of Mrs. W. N. Bailey, 38 Bucna Vista avenue. Friends will be cordially wel­comed.

The Homeopathic Hospital Tea given yes­terday, at the Amackassiu Club House, was a brilliant success socially and financially. The skiea were propitious, and the friend* of the "institution gathered in goodly num­bers to show their appreciation of the im­portance of the unique work of this Hospi­tal.

The Club House was en fete for this oc­casion. The tables, draped in snowy linen, were charmingly decorated with fresh flowers, each table having its distinctive colors; while the sun, as if to give its sanc­tion to the cause, shone brightly on the scene. The platform was decorated with palms, and there the musicians played dur­ing the afternoon and evening.

All visitors deposited in a central basket their offerings, which aggregated a liand-somc sum, and will help the work, which has now quite outgrown its present home. The Managers wish to thank a generous public for tl r contributions, and hope the interest shown on this occasion indicates the inten­tion to support them in their plan to enlarge their scope and establish a children's ward for those most helpless of God's creatures.

The ladies in charge of the affair were: Reception Committee — Mrs. W. W. Law, Mrs. Thomas Ewing, Mrs. William Allen Butler, Mrs. Joseph F. Waller. Tea T a b l e -Mrs. Abijah Curtiss, Mrs. Charles Reed, Mrs. Curtiss Upson. Chocolate — Mrs. T. R. Dawson and Mrs. Samuel Houston. Coffee —Mrs. O. D. La Dow, Mrs. C. Irving Lattin, Mrs. W. H. Brownson. Cake—Mrs. Charles C. Pierce, Mrs. Eldredge Jones, Mrs. Duncan Smith, Mrs. Parker. Candy—Mrs. R. R. Trotter, Mrs. Frank Seaman, Mrs. Wallis Smith, Mrs. Demarest. Flowers — Mrs. William H. Thorne, Miss Thome. The bas­ket was in charge of Mrs. R. O. Phillips and Mrs. Russell P. Fay.

During the evening the young people pre­sent indulged in dancing, inspired by the delightful music which was furnished by Rail's Orchestra, of Sing Sing.

2 jrpeciat Notices.

The exhibition now open in New York, at the corner of 37th street and Fifth ave­nue, is one that should be visited by all in­terested in housing problems. It is a scientific contribution to their solution.

Besides the presentation of ike worst con­dition* existing in New York and elsewhere, and the graphic charts of "Poverty" and "Disease," with their relation to overcrowd­ing, are plans, models and photographs of the improved dwellings and model tenements of New York, London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburg, and other cities at home and abroad.

The student can spend time most profit­ably in comparing these various efforts for the improvement of society by means of a better environment, and become acquainted with the financial as well as with the phil­anthropic aspect of the question. Lodging-houses for men are shown, from the vilest conditions up to the Mills Hotels in New York and the Rowton Houses in London.

Parks, playgrounds, baths, libraries and other humanizing agencies may be studied in their relation to the tenement-house dis­tricts, and are an inspiration when the re­sults already attained for good are realized.

Yonkers is represented in the exhibition as to some of its bad conditions- in tenement construction, but it is not without recogni­tion in the lines of improvement and muni­cipal progress. Its public baths and parks, the Hollywood Inn and the Woman's Insti­tute are among the photographs showing the

higher aspirations of our city. • • — i i

Electric Light ing Figures Thomas V. Perkins, an expert in matters

of electric construction and lighting, has given his opinion to some of the Yonkers Aldermen, that for $150,000 the city can establish an electric lighting plant that will furnish 500 arc light and 2,000 incandescent lamps, which is sufficient to light all the public streets, doing away with gas.

Such a plant, he says, would cost about $40,000 a year for maintenance, which would mean a saving to the city of about $30,000 per annum at the present time, as the city is now paying in the neighborhood of $75,-000 a year for street lighting by gas and electricity. The question for the authori­ties to consider is. How far are these eati-mates reliable?

BAL POUDRE AT THE COUNTRY CLUB.—It is

desired by the committee in charge of the Bal Poudre at the Park Hill Country Club, on Friday night, that all persons attending shall powder their hair, and wear simple costumes of the time of Washington. At any rate, it is likely that enough will do so to give a decided 18th century atmosphere to the occasion.

RETURN or YONKERS CURLERS.—The Yon­

kers curlers who went to Utica, on Monday morning, returned at 6:30 this morning, in rather a disconsolate state of mind, for they met defeat. However, they speak highly of the hospitable manner in which they were entertained. The Gordon Medal, which wai competed for by the United States and j Canada, was won by the States.

MOUNT VERNON WATER BILL.—A hearing

was given, yesterday, in Albany, on the Mu­nicipal Water Bill prepared by Dr. Edward F. Brush. Although this bill has been dis­approved by the Republican City Committee of Mount Vernon, it is understood that Dr. Brush does not intend to wtihdraw it, but will let it take its course, on his conviction that it is the only immediate solution of the water question that can be obtained.

ENTERTAINMENT AT DATSPRING CHURCH.

—The entertainment at the Dayspring Pres­byterian Church, last night, was under the auspices of the King's Daughters Circle, After a piano solo and vocal music, the au­dience listened to a dialogue which stirred them to hearty laughter. At the close of the programme all were invited to the Lec­ture Room and Parlors, where a social hour was enjoyed. Ice cream and cake were served.

Christian Endeavor Convention.

To-morrow, in the First Reformed Church of Yonkers, will be held the County Conven­tion of the Christian Endeavor Societies of Westchester.

The afternoon session will begin at 1:30, with an Executive Committee meeting in the parlor. At 2 o'clock there will be a praise service, conducted by Rev. Dr. Allison, which will be followed by prayer and devo­tional service. The address of welcome will be made by Rev. T. Edward Inglis. An ad­dress by William T. Ellis, of Philadelphia, on "Junior Work;" and on "Giving," by Rev. Dr. George F. Pentecost, will be the special features. A consecration meeting will be conducted by Fred. S. Goodman, New York State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.

The evening session will begin with a praise service at 7:15, and devotional exer-cises will follow. Reports will be heard from the Committees on Nominations, on the Convention of 1901, and on Resolutions. An address on "Foreign Missions" will be given by Robert E. Speer, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presby­terian Church; on "The Protestant People of Our Southern Mountains," by Rev. Dr. Goodell Frost, President of Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.

There will be no meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, to-morrow afternoon, in order to enable the members to attend this convention.

In the Chapel of the First Reformed Church, at 3, Mies Victoria Bell, County Sivperintendent of Loyal Temperance Legion Work, will give an illustrated address on "Temperance." All children are invited.

Saatemuc Tribe No. 355, of the Improved Order of Red Men, gar* an entertainment and dance in their hell in the Hawthorne Building, last night, for their lady friends.

James Gallagher sang, Joseph Evans danced Irish reels and clogs, and George Bell gave comic songs. Fred. Hanspm, of Peyton's comedy company, gave a perfor­mance in baton swinging and buck and wing dancing. He was followed by James Wal-dron, in songs that are popular, and by Eddie Gorman, in songs that are sentimen­tal. Cameron and Lawrence, character comedians, appeared; and Thomas Kiley showed how clever he is at dancing.

The concluding features of the entertain­ment was e cake-walk, in which Charles Thompson of 341 Walnut street, and Miss Minnie Quigley of 75 Fairview street, won the cake; Fred. Hansom of Elizabeth, N. J. and Miss Florence Munger of 107 Yonkers avenue, were the winners of the second prize. Sandwiches, ice cream, cake and temperance beverages were served by the members of the Tribe. Dancing followed.

The committee consisted of John Hawkins, Chairman; James F. Gallagher, Secretary; A. G. Cooper, Treasurer; Charles Miller, and Fred. Cosgrove.

»_The officers of Shatemuc Tribe are as fol­lows: Captain Thomas O'Donnell, Sachem: George R. Thompson, Senior Sagamore: Fred. Cosgrove, Junior Sagamore; Joseph Sweeney, Prophet; William J. Ray, Chief of Records; James Gallagher, Collector of Wampum; Charles S. Smith, Keeper of

Wampum. a

SAD COROtnoN or Nrw YO«K HCHOOL*.—

A sad condition of affairs, especially to the pupil*, is revealed in the schools of New York. It appears, from the statement of the Superintendent, that, on account of the nervous irritation of the teachers, due to the uncertainty of getting their salaries, whip­ping has increased so much that eight teachers are awaiting trial before the Edu­cation Board for administering corporal punishment. It is all wrong, of course, but some charitable seals will refrain from judg­ing the teachers, realising the tormenting effect of mischievous or unruly children on the serves of an overworked man or woman who isn't sure about getting credit for another week's board.

Rathbun has lost 38 pounds of flesh, but does not intend to give up until his avoirdupois has been reduced 12 pounds more, which he thinks can be accomplished in the remaining 10 days. Until recently he had been drinking two quarts of spring water a day, but now he has cut his supply down to two pints.

Public Kindergartens.

Dr. Jennie B. Merrill, the Supervisor of the New York Public School Kindergarten-i, will make an address at the Woman's Insti­tute, on Friday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, under the auspices of the Philanthropic League. Her subject, "Public Kindergartens," i s one that will appeal to many people, not only because of its vital interest as a factor in the social development of this generation, but from the practical standpoint of the parent who asks, "What should be done for the children T''

Few people, by experience and general fit­ness, arc more able to answer this question, and surely none could be more thoroughly at home in a subject than is Dr. Merrill in hers. The Yonkers Kindergarten Associa­tion is co-operating with the Philanthropic League in its efforts to bring the lecture be­fore the public. All those interested are invited to be present. Rev. James M. Bruce will preside.

It is to be hoped that Miss Merrill's cour­tesy in coming to Yonkers will receive an appreciative welcome, and that a special effort will be made, on the part of those in­terested, to secure an audience worthy of the occasion.

BICYCLE OPENING DAY.—The movement to

make Washington's Birthday the opening day of the bieycle season has been taken up so generally by all the agents in this section of the country as to promise success. The agents welcomed the idea, and agreed in terming it a great scheme for introducing the various lines of bicycles they handle.
