’ ,fl'he enbject of cross island railroads
Ind county line highways has been so of-
tel discount! in Queens and Suffolk
'countiessndsomauy schemesfor carry-
iaginto effecteuch ideas have been pro.
posed that it has become an oft told tale,
to which very little attention is given
nowadays by the people who would
lastly benefit by the building of‘ a con;
nesting artery between the north and
south shores of Long Island. While the
scheme is one which would prove a good
investment for capitalists in time, the
men with whom a cross island railroad
is a fad have in the past been unable to
find capitalists who were willing to place
their money where the returns would be
uncertain at first. though insuring agood
menustothoee who favored slow ma-
turing investments.
Nevertheless, the cross island railrom
has been revived, and, what is more en-
couraging tolhe public, men stand ready
to furnish all the capital required. pro-
vided enough interest is taken in the
scheme by electric light companies in
Huntington and Amityville. Those are
the two villages it is proposed to connect,
and from present indications there is a
bright outlook for the consummation of
the plans now under consideration. The
read my not he built this year. most
certainly it will not. but unlem there is a
change in the present state of public feel-
ing this winter it is expected that trolley
cars will be run from Huntington to
Amityville before next summer.
Yankee briins and Yankee capital are
behind the present movement, and all
that is lacking to bring it to a successful
termination is the cooperation of long
Island brains and capital, or to bring into
more narrow lines, the whole matter de-
pends upon the action of the Huntington
people. The propisition made by the
Conmciicut people is substantially this:
They offer to furnish all the capital nec'
essary to build a trolley road and all the
uncanny equipments from Huntington
to Amityvilfe if the electric light oom«
panys will agree to increase the capacity
of their plants sufficiently to supply the
power for the operation of the road.
Amityville is willing, and all now de-
pends upon the Huntington capitalists.
In case of a refusal there it is probable
that the ofler will be made to Northport.
III. Stephen If. Williams, of Amity-
Villa, is one of the [mg Island men who
is minent in harming the enterprise.
Wnensecn by a Times reporter, yester—
day, be was unable to give anything
more than a general idea of what is pro-
posedto do. Mr. Williams is sanguine
that the movement will be carried
through. Said be: "The offer comes
from South Norwslk c piialists who are
interested in the t'rolley roads there.
They have agreed to build the road and
rolling stock, provided they can induce
the electric light companies at Amityvilie
and Huntington to supply the power.
One of the prime reasons for their inter-
est in building a road at this point is to sf.
ford quick and cheap means of transpor-
tation for Connecticut people to the sea
shore. It would be a good thing for the
people generally in this section and for
land owners especially. as a road nodes
the island would open up a district most
desirable for residence purpoars. The
electric light compsniee would reap con-
siderable benefit from the scheme, and
those of the men iniBI’riud in these
companies, whom I have seen. look lav.
orsbly uponlbe proposition. lrliall go
tomorrow to interview some of the men
interested in the matter. and l have no
doubt that we will succeed in getting
the road through. There has been a
dull!!! road talked of between Port Jef-
fersonsnd l’stclioguo, but it would not
interfere with this one, being too far
away from in."

A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Opening Beeeptlea for the Winter at the

The opening reception for the winter
was held at the Women's Building, last
evening, as announced. The entertain-

this unique form of amusing the guests
was carried out with great spirit.
The president made a pleasant little
speech of welcome, and then proceeded
to read some of the letters received from

and there were four niuaiCsl numbers.

The whole house was thrown open, and

The matron in charge of the building is
exquisitely neat, and the chairman of
the house committee is untiring in her
efforts and absolutely faithful,so that
the results obtained are most satisfac-
tory. About $35 was united, which is
to be used for some needed furnishings

added that it is also most convenient

of New York. Every ro vdy wearing s

rested ls put down as a Yale or Prince-
ton msn, while disturbances on the
streets or in the theatres after the
game have thrown, year by year. more
and more discredit upon the contest and
contestants.
‘ In fact, the good name of this univer.
sliy has becoms imp mlled to such an ex-
tent that, even if the Yale football man-
agement consented to play on Thanks-
giving Day, the faculty weald not allow
it As to its ‘never before seeming to.)
great a strain’ for Yale to play Harvard
and Princeton’witbln the same week, we
can assure the Princetoninns that there
has always been a strong feeling against
the unfairness of the arrangement." The
News also said the Princtouiuus claim
“that the game is a fixture in the year’s
events, is not tenable and that nothing
in the constitution of the American Foot-
ball association warrants this claim.
A. I’. A. SECRETS OBTAINED.
"onloorlllc Oentrnl (lommlttee May Have
an Agent Who is a Member.
There has been much speculation n
garding the source of the information in
the possession of the Catholic Standard
of thiscity which warranted it in pub-
lishing the names of several citizens as
members of the A. l’. A.. also the ritual
and bulb of the order. It is now stated
that this information is supplied by an
agent eriipioyed by the Democratic State
Central committee, who was admitted to
membership in the order, and took notes
of the proceedings and the names of men
who joined it.
The declaration of principles and the
pledge which the. society requires of c in-
didates for membership are bomb. is
said, in the bands of the committee and
will be circulated throughout the stations
campaign literature. One sentiment to
which members must subscribe accord-
ing to the report of the secret agent, is:
“In my opinion no Roman Catholic
should be allowed any part or parcel
in the control. or occupy any position
in our public schools. or hold civil,
political or military office in this coun-
try. (in ibe contrary,l realize that the
institutions of our country are in dill.-
gar from the machinations of the Church
of Rome. I believe that only by the
removal of Roman Catholics from the
otliccs of public trust can justice, right
and true American sentiment be fully
subserved."
The applicant. for membership. it is
alleged, is rupiired to till out it blank
subscribing to this and other sentiments
and giving his religious faith, that of
his family, etc, etc. After the member
has been admitted and fully initiated
this blank is burned in his presence by
this sergeant-storms, and then the mem-
berls told that be lit not it member of
the A. l’. A.. and instructed that if any
person should accuse him of being a
member he must deny it; and even, if
tiei'eesary, deny it under oath, for the
presiding officer tolls him that be is n
viii-tuber not of the A. l’. A.. but of the
(lnler of Americans.
The coniiiilttvs says it is not sure, of
its facts. It does not rely wholly upon
the agent who furnished the list, but
took the trouble ti have his facts cor-
roborated by other agents who were
outplayed to watch the men reputed 9’!
members and make note of their comings
and garage to the various lodge-rooms —-

"as round Him llsrnpulnnsly Honest.
Mr. Editor: In your very worthy
paper of Thursday evening's issue there
was an article concerning the finding of
a lady's bracelet, which quite strongly
ft'flwm upon the honesty of the finder,
Allen Bpringsteln. The young man has
been in my employ a large portion of the
tlme since he was ten years of age. and l
have always found him scrupulously hon-
est and trustworiy. and hsve gladly rec-
ommended him to places of trust. I
have investigated the affair of the brace-
let, snd find there was no occasion for
the chief of police to lecture him, neither
did he do so as stated in your article. and
the owner of the bracelet sent the young
mans very polite note of thanks and
a mind. But for some reason, best
known to himself, the officer chose to
publish his own version of the sh‘slr. I
think all good oilinens will agree with me
that it h the duty of a public officer to
protect the character of the innocent, not
to blesses it.
Very respectfully yours,
