STRAYTOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD N. Y. j
ill ■- i II,.Ml ; | 1 UH-H-lHl 1 mill
New York, Dec. 13.—The majority
of the fashiouabl so; la hack in town
for the holtdays. Those who remain-
ed In the country for Thanksgiving
have returned to the city and opened
op their town houses attJ will be
kept (busy until long after Christ-
mas, for ithe social calendar Is full
of weddings, reception* and dances,
not so mention the two optras that
attract a brilliant gathering every
oveulng. The re-opening of the big
mansion* on Fifth avenue gives the
necessary touch to the fashionable
quarter to make it seem alive and
gay. After many months of quiet,
the big shutters have been removed
from the windows, lights are once
more shining within, while carriages
and autos draw up before the doors.
Hut the holiday spirit is by no
means confined to the wealthy class
alone, ii is everywhere apparent.
And although It seems customary In
every circle to talk hard times, still
the shops seem as crowded as ever
with early Christmas shoppers. As
usual nil the stores are urging cus-
tomers to buy early in order to avoid
<he rush that always exists Christ-
mas week, but the majority of New
Yorkers like the hustle und hustle
of waiting till the last minute before
making their purchases so that It is
probable that this year will be no ex-
ception.
Before the clergy had really Un-
filled criticising President Roosevelt's
action in removing the religious mot-
to from the ten dollar gold pieces,
the Board of Education gave the mln-
laters, and practically every Catholic
and Protestant in the city a new
cause for religious agitation. At the
urgent request of the Jewish rahbls,
who sent a committee to wait for the
purpose of eliminating all sectarian-
ism from the schools, an under was
Issued ito the principals and teachers
forbidding them to bold any Christ-
mas exercises in which it was neces-
sary to mention the name of Christ
or Christmas. This of course at once
eliminated also the Christmas carols
It was'further prohibited to mention
any of 'the Chrlstaln saints, so that
Santa Clause was simply obliged to
change all his plans, and thousands
of sehool children who had been look-
ing forward to his coming were bit-
terly disappointed. Naturally a
storm of protest was raised against
the Board's action and a considerable
number of Jewish teachers them-
selves felt their bretheren had been
narrow and unjust in their claims.
During the Jewish holidays the
schools In the Ghetto are deserted,
and Inst time is not required to he
made up. Why, therefore. the
Christians are asking the Board,
should the one holiday of the year
that the children hold dear, he de-
nied, for It would be an easy matter
for the Jewish children to remain al
home that day. While this particu-
lar Christmas Incident caused the
greatest agitation throughout the city
It was regarded as only a fore run-
ner of other wide reaching differ-
ences that will have to he settled in
the near future with the tremendous
rial subjects that have been called
for at the public libraries. “The cir-
culation of the books dealing with
modern banking methods," said a
clerk at one of the big branches the
other day. “has trebled In the past
month. Books which have remained
untouched for years have been called
for. The people seem to want to
study for themselves 'the whys and
wherefores of the present troubles
and to learn the causes and remedies
of panics In the past. But besides
the demand for hooks dealing with
the history und economic theory of
hanking, there has been an unusual
call for hooks containing stories
about money matters. For example,
John I-aw's "Mississippi Bubble" has
had a great run."
The barber who advertised that
while his customers were having the r
hair cut, they could have their nails
manicured, shoes shined, and hats
cleaned, at the same time, thought
he had hit upon lie grentest combi-
nation as a time saver for the busy
New Yorker. However, the New
York Central, under the plan just In-
augurated, has made It possible for
the really busy man, who generally
has all of the four things enumerat-
ed albove accomplished while he sits
in the barber's chair. He may, to
attend to one thing more, call a mess-
enger and arrange for an extensive
business trip. It is no longer neces-
sary for a man to stand In front of
the ticket office window. He merely
has to write a letter or telephone any
of the numerous branch offices of the
New York Central, and a messenger
will call ait his house, club or office
or wherever he may choose, taking
with him the necessary tickets and
Pullman accommodations to the com-
fort of the traveler. It Is believed by
the railroad officials, that this accom-
modation to ithe busy traveler will re-
sult In sufficient Increased business
to warrant the permanent of the
plan.
To the average stranger In New
York on Sunday, it seems very lit-
tle different front any week day, ex-
cept that the stores are closed and
there is less trucking about the
streets. Otherwise the big city
seems to be as busy as ever. There
are infinite nnuisements to attract
anxious to become a Mato and na-
tional leader and that he 1a now
bending every effort In that direc-
tion. His announcement does not
mean that he Is about to relinquish
his grip on the political situation in
this city, hut ghat he is firmly deter-
mined to extend his powers. Hts
seeming opposition to Bryan la not
regarded as deep seated, and it Is
openly asserted that he is even now
quietly working to secure the New
York delegates to the next Demo-
cratic national convention t
The setting of the date. January
6, for the beginning of the second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White has re-
newed much of the discussion and
speculation which reached such a
point of feverish excitement! last
winter. Thaw’s girlish looking wife
appeared in court, when the date for
the new trial was set, and looked If
anything younger than last year,
when she told the harrowing story
of a gay life that ithrilked the mil-
lions of newspaper readers through
out the country. She was dressed in
a modified patter of the schoolgirl
costume that became so famous dur-
ing the trial last year. The prospect
of the second trial within a month
has caused renewed activity on the
pari of the numerous societies, who
are interested in the moral welfare
of young people, who have the news-
papers omit in their accounts of the
trial all of the immoral and vulgar
derails that filled the columns last
year.
NOTES FROM THE
LABOR WORLD
The Michigan State Federation of
Labor has gone on record in favor
of suffrage for women.
Canada's clothing industry of all
kinds gives employment to more than
26,000 men and women.
Largely through the efforts of the
women's clubs of Florida there is a
new child labor law there which pro-
hibits the employment of children un-
der 12 years old.
The eight-hour day proposed by
•the International Association of Ma-
chinists for last May having been to
certain extent unsuccessful, it is
now proposed to renew the agitation
the pleasure seeker, and the trains w*;h a view to a successful outcome
foreign population that has set Bed
■down in New York In the past few
years.
One of the increasing side lights
on the present financial troubles, is
the very marked Increase in the num-
ber of hooks dealing with the flnan-

and trolleys are crowded with the
thousands on their way to Ihe coun-
try for the day. But the Interests of
the 6,200,000 people in New York
vary widely, and while some look up-
on Sunday as a day of recreation,
others attend some form of religious
worship regularly. In the boroughs
of Manhattan und Bronx alone there
are 087 churches, and it was recent
ly estimated on a Sunday morning
that 'there were nearly n quarter of a
million people ntt tiding different
services. The figures show also that
there were three times as many wo-
men church goers as men.
The extension of Riverside Drive
from 135th to 158th strees, a dis-
tance of one and one-quarter miles is
practically completed, after three
years of work at a total cost of $3,-
500,000. Architecturally as well as
scenlcally the new drive will equal
if not surpass the older section of
the boulevard below Grant's Tomb.
At Its highest point 'the roadway
rises eighty feet above the river.
There is still another extension to
this boulevard extending from 158th
Street to Spuyten Duyvll. This new
addition will he three and one-quar-
ter miles In length and will cost the
city $5,000,000.
The electric shoe black is the lat-
est thing tin Broadway and If 'the en-
terprise proves as successful as it
now promises, liundreds of black-
eved Italian hoys will have to seek
other employment. An entire store
at Broadway and Thirty-eight street
has been rented for the new enter-
prise and are full of machines that
look like the p nny-in-the-slot scales.
One has only to step up to the ma-
chine, put five cents in the slot, bury
the foot in a big shoe shaped space
conea ning the brushes, and then
touch a button. Instantly the brush-
es begin to revolve, and presently
two electric lights right in front of
you go out, which is the signal that
one shoe is finished ami that you
must put tell other foot In. The
blacking is put on automatically too,
being supplied In the same place
where the brushes are located, from
little tubes on the sides. There are
different machines for tan and black
shoes. The electric polisher seems
to have numerous advantages over
the human boot black, for besides
doing the work well, It can't get the
blacking on one’s socks, it can't keep
up a stream of conveniation, and It
doesn't have 'to he tipped.
Charles F. Murphy's announce-
ment that he is out of “city politics"
is simply In line with the ndvtces
of your correspondent n fiw weeks
since, wherein It was made known
thait the head of Tammany Mall was
next spring.
The Trades and Labor Cotmc.il of
Halifax, N. S., has decided to take
an active part in politics and will

Enforcement of the new child la-
bor law in Minnesota has resulted in
a 25 per cerot decrease already in
the number of children under 16 em-
ployed in stores and factories, ac-
cording to W. H. Williams, state la-
bor commissioner.
The General Federation of Labor
of France has distributed among the
conscripts who have been summoned
to join the colors, a manifesto at-
tacking the army. The government
intends to prosecute the authors of
the manifesto.
In the past two years the Broth-
erhood of Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers of America has grown
from less (hail 60,000 to over 70,-
000 in good standing, distributed
among 966 local unions throughout
the United States and Canada.
A movement has been started in
Pennsylvania to raise a fund of
$20,000 among the United Mine
Workers of America as a testimoni-
al to John Mitchell upon his retire-
ment from the national presidency of
the organization.
Tile union carpenters of Memphis,
Tenii., have taken steps to establish
a lumber manufacturing plant, to be
run on the co-operative plan. The
new concern is capitalized at $20,-
ooo, and all the stock is held by
union men.
