Nov. 24.--Just about, one dollar's worth of music for every j one of New Torus resiaenis is iu turked loose during the coining sea- son; for the city with all the nppe-jof ance of being music mad has com- pleted plans for spending something between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 on sweet sounds, vocal and instrumental The greater part of this fortune for which when spent the public will have nothing to show, will pour into the coffers of the Metropolitan Opera House durtnsr the seventeen weeks' season beginning next Monday. The . five regular performances a week wiu separate New Yorkers from $12,000 for each one, the seventeen Suday concerts will cost $1,000 apiece, and the special performances and benefits will bring the total up well above the million mark. In other words in this one playhouse alone New York will spend every week enough to pay the salary of the President of the United "States, to say nothing of the Vice president and half a dozen senators. And this Is only one item. There is to be an bpera season at the Manhattan also, and' if the tenor, of whom little Is known, is anything of a success, at least $750,000 will probably be spent there, for while one swallow can't make a summer, one opera sing er can make an opera season. Aside from the, ope a houses New Yorkers will probably pay out another half million dollars at Carnegie Hall, where something like 175 concerts will be pulled ofT during the season. The ten Boston Symphony concerts alone will net $10,000. Urie Philhar monic, however, carries oft the palm as a money maker, since after paying Its dfctor $1,000 for each perfor mance it nets more than $5,000 on each palp of concerts. Other concerts and musical will add another $500,000 to the total of $4,000,000 which New York is about to blow in on muic.

Six thousand one hundred and . saventv thrpe npnnio living in r, u block of five and one-third acres - That h the reed 'd of the most gested district in New York where human beings literally pack them-1 selves together like sardines. This block Is not as might be expected on the lower East Side, but on the We8t Side of Central Park between sixty- ! first and Sixty-second streets. Al- together there ale fifty-one blocks In the city having a population of more than 3,000 each and of these 37 are on the lower East Side below Fourteenth Street, seven on the East Side above Fourteenth Street, six on the West Side, and one In the middle ftnd now cnlled the "Fifth Avenue Fed eration Districts." Overcrowding In the city is undeniably on the inc ense ' and the prophecy of New Tork as! the living place of only tho very rich ; and the very poor is always gaining welgnt. For example in 1900 the com- blned population of the CI most con- gested blocks was 532,881 while la IS05 the number had Increased to 177,88, or nearly 50,000, with more than j 500 people to the acre nothing uncom mon. Of course fente are one great cause of congested population, for the laboring man cannot afford tho nec- ' ,!ir' "P"04 at ,he P"t prices. One, pxntort Inw8lliritir hn rennrted fitur expert Investigator has reported four dollars peroom per month for each room of a five-room tenement a the j lowest price- at which decency can be ! required.

If it can escape the evils which beset It the doctor sees no reason why it should not live to a comfortable age. Instead of for the brief span generally assigned to it This theory at least relieves mosqulto 8iaughter t0 one of lta nor. rors, for tender hearted persons will doubtless be pleased to learn that it Is not a gory and brutal end which the Insect suffers when swatted by an Irate victim, but Instead an instanta neous and comparatively painless death from fright at the swiftly de scending hand. It Is the price of a delicate sensitive o ganlzatlon. But while Dr. Doty has done something to remove the idea that the mosquito Is not a coarse and bloody ro"bber, he has nevertheless been working hard to exterminate him, and with such success that New York's beaches may yet become enjoyable and the Jersey mosquito be removed from the stand ing list of summer Jokes. Working with an appropriation of less than $20,000 the doctor tackled Staten Is land and by a comprehensive scheme of ditches drained the salt marshes where the pests bred. Strange to say these marshes are now practically solid ground for In spots wnere the ditch diggers sank almost to their waists In mlie, the mowing machine harvest ed crops of hay this fall And the mosquito has practically vanished. The old Sinclair House at Broad way and Eighth Street one .of the city's most famous and ancient land marks, Is to be torn down to give way to the needs of modern business.
