' ne Church Distributes Temperance Cards--Policemen Are Grumb- ling Over Abolition of The Platoon System. New York, Feb. 13.--The abolition of the three platoon police system by police commissioner Partridge has re ited in much grumbling on the part the 'policemen in this city and plans are said {0 be on foot to take the matter to the legislature, Seeming ly Col. Patridge's popularity among his men has not suflered materially, hut the officers complain of bad faith on the part of the fusion leaders who, it would seem, promised that this fen ture of the police management would not be. abolished, if Tammany were defeated. City policemen claim that ww eost- them something like $50,000 to get the system installed, although it was finally done by the legislature and fammany never accounted for the #50000 and too much was risked to give up the fight tamely. The three platoon idea iailed, however, during tHe recent Park avenue tunnel explo sion and citizens in general are pleas ed with commissioner Partridge's ac tion. In going back to two platoons there will be only two sets of men on duty, ome actively working, the other ' held in reserve, whereas the three platoon system, demanded some thing tike an addition of #ixteen hun dred exira men, with an increase in expense of over two million dollars to tha city Lovers of opera receive with mingled joy and regret the announeement that the famous Metropolitan opera house Lig tg be sold to give way to the ere tion of a huge department store, if not a new one, be remodelled to an swer the same purpose. The building has been the scene of so many tri umphs, both musical and social that old Knickerbockers fain would have it remain as it is. They are consoled with the statement, however, that if the présent site is disposed' of, a larger and even move luxuriously appointed place of amusement will be built to accommodate the opera. Real estate brokers have been endeavoring for a long time to eet hold of the property, hut the shareholders, among whom are included many eapitaliet®;, will not ac- cept any offer which will not assure the company of a better site and a grander building without cost to the company. The academy of medicine has adopt- ed a resolution opposing the action of the treasury department in classifying pulmonary tuberculpsia with danger- ous contagious diseases, thereby plac: ing a stigma wholly undeserved up- on every American citizen who is suf fering with consumption.

Harry Payne Whitney, upon whom the mantle of his father's vast busi ness interests falls, bids fair to be come ope of the most prominent men in the financigl history of the coun try., For the lest three years he has Leen gratinally assuming the respon sibility of ex-secretary of the navy's Whitney's business affairs, so is inur od to the work consequent upon the handling of large moneyed interests. Besides being a Juvorite awiong busi ness men, young Mr. Whitney is well- known and equally liked in society throughout the couniry. He married a few years ago Miss Gertrude Van- derhilt, the daughter of the late Cor: nelius Vanderbilt, and is brother of Payne Whituey, who marvied Miss Helen Hay lost week. Two bills are pending in the legisla ture to prevent the evils attending the sale of property on instalments. Many a in dealers are in this business, and, properly conducted, it works well for both buyer and seller. Pianos, sewing machines and books are, for instance, very commonly sold en the instalment plan. But on the east side there are many ungrineipled men en gaged in swindling poor and ignerant persons by schemes purporting to be based on the instalment plan of sell ing property. It would take too long to tell the modus operandi of these swindles; sufficient to say the evil has become an extensive one and mea sures will be taken to cheek as speedily as possible, The amnouncement made by the new secretary of the treasury that he will not depart from the policy of his pre dedessor on the policy of purchasing bonds is of much interest in the finan cial district of the metropolis. Ae cording to this statement irom sedre tary Shaw, the assistant secretary in this cit is still authorized to buy bonds, thus enabling any holder of the securitivs to turn them into cash at any desi;ed time. For November, December and January the purchases of bonds amounted to ¥27.000,000, The February purchases, however, are likely to show a reduction in view of the easy. money rates, ¢Wall street be: lieves that secretary Shaw will prove as conservative a man at the head of the treasury department as. was sec- retary Gage. Many owners of race horses trainers of the same are looking for- ward to the possibility of scoring a double 'victory and equally Kinley Mack's triumph of 1900 when he won both Brooklyn and suburban handi- caps, at the opening of the Coney Island jockey club's spring meeting. The suburban, at least, will be run on that dav. Many have tried for the double honor with the best thorough- bred, but failed, but just now there is unusual activity in turf circles and sportsmen are looking forward to the largest season in many years. Many New Yorke, and in inct re sidents' of other citize, who are inclin: od to look upon the art of cooking as humble and ill-paid, were surprised re vently to read that the head Rok of there left an estate' of £50,000.
