New York Nov. 2. —The practice of
feeding horses on banana peelings has
become quite common since some one
set the example on the theory that as
the peelings were handy and the
horses were plenty in the streets it
was a good thing to introduce them to
each other. So wherever there was a
horse and a banana seller there was
the Inevitable benevolent person who
doesn’t believe In wasting anything
and so carefully gives the animal what
he cannot eat himself. The horses de-
vour the skins with avidity. But now
comes a wise horse owner who says:
—FOR RENT

Fair. Visitors will want the proper
accommodations. You caq rent any

occasion.

। "Don't feed that horse with those ba
:iana peelings." And he proceeds to say
that he has lost a home and nearly lost
others by their being given such peel-
ings; that they were very injurious to
| the animals. This feeding of the skins
| to the horses in the streets tended to
increase the chances of human life as
otherwise the skins contrived to go
on the sidewalks and if there is any-
I thing that will floor a man or woman
sooner or more completely than ba-
nana skins it has not yet been brough:
to public notice. If the banana skiu
wont in the horse's mouth it certainly
would not be found upon the side-
walk. and the respectable but careless
citixen would not be floored. But It
may be set down as a fact that banana
skins are not good for horses.

In the election now going on every-
body seems to have his say great or
t small. The columns of the newspapers
1 are full of letters from everybody and
' anybody some in favor of Hearst and
| some in favor of Hughes praising or
blaming. And the newspapers seem to
publish them'without much regard to
whom they favor. It seems to be a
। grand presentation to the public to let
oft that surplus knowledge and public
। Interest. And everybody is availing
I himself of the opportunity. And so a
i great variety of points Is brought out
I and the candidates will contrive to got
1 committed to as great a variety of
; opinions as were ever presented to the
American people since the country was
first settled. Such a mixture of parties
1 were never seen before and it seems
as if the way nowadays to run politi-
cal campaigns Is to go back on your
own candidates and support the op-
posite side in order to show your In-
dependence. Nobody takes up an Idea
' than another person of opposite politi-
cal faith comes forward and accuses
one of stealing the ideas of that par-
ty. from which It would api>ear that
■ both parties believe the same thing
and that the election Is held held only
to choose persons not parties.

I /Rev. Dr. Parkhurst's now church is
7 dlst'nct addition to the attractive
lAnd notable places of worship in this
city. It is remarkable for its original-
ity its breaking away from conven-
tional lines and its remarkable color
scheme which is blue white and yel-
low. The dome Is tiled showing an al-
ternating pattern of green and yellow
I the green serving aa a background.
To sustain and enrich the effect the
dome is surmounted with a golden
; lantern. Dr. Parkhurst holds his peo-
I pie the same as ever and it may be
i attributed largely to his courage such
i as was shown In his eulogv of Stan-
I ford White the architect whom Thaw
I killed and who was covered with ob-
loquy so deeply by Thaw and the
। press. Parkhurst spoke tenderly of
1 him and the act was a noble one and
' showed that the great fighter of vice
and the stern end unrelenting foe of
every defender of graft is as true tn n
friend as to a principle. Probably there
is no other minister in New York city
1 who would have taken the risk that
I Parkhurst did ’n standing up for a
f man whom the community had come
|to so generally condemn it is that
1 kind of public men that hold the peo-
ple against everything who stand by
tlieir friends no matter how unpopu-
lar they may have become. Certainly
‘ Stanford White was a great architect;
and Parkhurst's church will stand as
an enduring monument to his skill.

Within a few weeks Ne.w York will
have the benefit of one of the most
wonderful electrical inventions of the
age—the telharmonic. This Is an In-
strument for the transmission of mu-
sic from a central keyboard to the
homes restaurants and public places
of the city. At a cost of more than
160000 the central music "plant" has
been established at a convenient point
In Manhattan. The Instrument Is vir-
tually perfected and In a short time.
It is expected the company will be
ready to offer its musical wares to the
public. At no great cost the houso-

central instrument or instruments and

ment that will be placed in the homes
is a small affair and can easily be
hidden by a grouping of flowers or of
potted plants. Four grades of music
will be available —grand opera pipe

far made show that the rich tones
of the central instrument are preserv.
ed in transmission and there is no
marring of the music by the rasping
sound of the phonograph. The invent-
or of the telharmonic and the capita!
ists who are backing him are confi-
dent that the instrument will not only
have connection with thousands of
homes here but will soon bo used al-
most universally by the restaurant
keepers.

A man went into a Broadway drug
store and asked the clerk for a rem-
edy for Indigestion. The clerk sifted
a pink powder into the scales. "Take
a heaping dlmeful of this" he said
and it will bring you around all right.”
“A dimefnl!" ejaculated the man;
"what kind of measurement is that?”
"It isn't new” replied the clerk "and
it is very simple. Just take a dime
and pile as much powder on it as will
stick. That w'll be the proper dose.
You couldn’t get it any more exact If
you measured half an hour with
scales and spoons.” A man standing
by sighed reminiscently. “It makes me
fpel about ten years younger to hear
you say that.” he said. “They used to
measure medicine that way when I
was a kid. I supposed modern appli-
ances had driven all those old meth-
ods out of the markets. "Not at all”
said Che clerk. "There are lot* of
places where they still take medicine
by the dlmeful.”
New York is to have a colossal
peace monument 700 feet high to be
erected on the banks of the Hudson
river at a cost of 15000000 If the am-
bitious wishes of F. Wellington Ruck-
stuhl the new York sculptor and a
member of the National Sculpture so-
ciety who was chief bculptor of the
St. Louis exposition are regarded and
carried Into effect. This scheme was
outlined several years ano *y the Na-
tion Sculpture society of which Karl
Bitter Is president Nothing came of lt|
although It was thought that 92500.-'
000 would be sufficient to carry it out.
That sum wag not offered by the pub-
lic and recently a syndicate of wealthy
patrons of art has been formed the
original scheme has been enlarged and
a large part of the 15.000000 required
has been pledged. It is the purpose of
Mr. Ruckstuh! to execute the monu-
ment in the shape of an immense
ionic column 600 feet high. It will rest
on a double-story building about 100
feet cube the whole resting on a plat-
form 300 feet so.uare. Elevators will
run to the top. on which a glass globe
forty feet in diameter will serve as a
light house. A figure of victorious
peace. 100 feet high will stand in
front of the column.

Among the most amusing Incidents
of this very amusing campaign is the
remarkable specimens of politicians
that have emerged from obscurity to
take an active part in it. And among
them none is more odd than Oscar
Sufrin 15 years old of Broome street
who Ivas arrested by a policeman for
holding forth on the stump without a
permit. Upon the court's questioning
him he said he acted as chairman;
that he Is an officer of the Albert Lu-
cas club a boys' political organization
and desires to aid In the election of
Adolph Stern as assemblyman and al-
so chief of police. He said he was
about to introduce Eddie Friedman to
the constituents when the policeman
interfered. The magistrate told him
that was enough but Sufrin still kept
on talking complaining that the po-
liceman had smashed his rostrum. Os-
car comes from Russian parents who
not long ago were peasants in Minsk
Russia. The boy Is ona of the clever-
est scholars in public school No. 29
where be has shown marked talents
in elocution and verse writing.
The British school teachers who to
the number of five hundred will visit
this country for a tour during the win-
ter represent every class from win-
dergarten and defective senses Instruc-
tors to the professors of England's
universities. They have been selected
from thousands of applicants who
have made known their desire to vis-
it the United States since the an-
nouncement was made several months
ago that a series of excursions for
teachers was being planned. About 30
will sail November 30. constituting the
advance guard and similar parties
will sail weekly thereafter until the
end of March. Mr. Mosely who has
charge of the enterprise has preced-
ed them nnd has been here a couple
of weeks to look after the arrange-
ments. Mr. Moseley considers the sys-
tem In America more practiced than
the English system and says that the
American hov Is kept In school longer
and money Is more lavishly spent In
America for education. The pay of the
teachers however is relatively lower
In this country than In Great Britain
and Mr. Mosely considers that we
neglect the musical education of our
children
