i6 THE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON'. WEDNESDAY, WEPT. 9 TRANSPORTATION. New York News Letter CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS Tht KM Ln NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-Prcliminary estimate place the amount of money needed for the maintenance of the ci ty's public schools during the coining year, now almost at hand, at the enormous total of $35,0(Xl,OOa This in the aggregate is a greater sum by. far than is spent In free education in any other city in the country, though in its per capita distribution it is exceed 1 ed in several municipalities. Placing the school attendance at 600,000 chil dren, the cost for each one during the year will amount to about $58 a fig , fnre which is surpassed by a consid erable number of cities throughout the country. In New York, however, be cause of the concentration of the pop ulation, the cost of education is com- paratively low. Even with the tre menduous sum of $35,000,000 at its disposal it is doubtful whether the city will be able to afford educational fa cilities to all who Want them. This amount represents an increase of $7,- ' 000,000 over last ye: r when thousands of children had to get along with only partial facilities. Probably if the whole of this $7,000,000 increase could be used for taking care of pupils New York mightjfor the first time find it self able to care for all of them. More than $5,000,000 of this sum will go to teachers however; $3,000,000 to put Into effect the proposed increase in their salaries and $2,000,000 for the salaries of new principals and teachers b the day schools. Next year, too, 1 $435,000 will be spent on playgrounds as compared to $185,000 this year. Ev ening schools where a part of the ov erflow is cared for will need $668,000 and truant schools $26,000. Atten dance officers, the dread of pupils whose only ambition is playing hook ey, will cost ,$122,000, this being the sum which the city will have to pay to compel education. Altogether this tremendous appropriation while it is hardly expected to care for all edu cational needs is likely to stand for some time as a municipal record. Is a goat a crime or a disease? This is the astonishing question which in a perfectly serious way has been put np to the city's legal talent after heat ed controversy. The Police Depart ment holds the animal to be a disease, and refers it to the Health Depart ment. There the eater of tin cans and theatrical posters has been solemnly denominated a crime, and not coming as such within the Health Depart ment's jurisdiction referred back to the police. Ludicrous as the question may seem, it will now have to be de cided officially in order that the pro per department of the city's guardians may be instructed to deal with the plague of goats now troubling the low er east side. These animals seem sud- denly to have superseded the cat asby doctors who hold it to be danger the popular pet among the masses of ou3 and point out the case o a bride. this crowded district and so numerous groom who 0Ily last week almost died have they become and so serious their j from the effect o several grains of appreciations mat omciai action must be taken.

While the details of the question are still a puz zle and probably will not be fully clear ed np for some time, the matter as makes it unique. In a word it would it stands now has a legal aspect which seem that it may not always be legal to pass legal tender. At any rate a man has just been arrested in this city for passing trade dollars, at one time a regular part of the currency issued by tbe United States. Naturally this coin has never been repudiated and from the viewpoint of the layman should still pass for its face value. Most of these dollars are so valuable because of their supposedly scarcity as to keep them out of the field, of trade and render then salable at a premium to coin collectors. ' But a very consid- erable number of which have recently appeared in circulation in this city have raised the interesting question as to whether they may legally be passed. An arrest has already been made for so doing and the person ar rested, while admitting frankly that he bought these dollars for seventy-five cents apiece from a WalJ Street firm and then passed them at face value, contends that he has committed no crime since the coin in questions were issued by the government. On the oth er hand the magistrate who ordered the complaint drawn against the pris oner asserts that there is cheating somewhere and consequently fraud No charge of counterfeiting is made and the defense asserts that the mere fact that a coin is purchased for less than its face value but more than its actual bullion value does not make its circulation a crime. On this basis it is contended the passing of the pre sent silver dollar would be wrong. Al together the case when it comes to trial promises some interesting fea tures. Unless an Amalgamated Associati on of Rice Throwers is formed the time-honored custom of hurling show ers of rice at newly married couples is likely to become a thing of the past. Even old shoes may be barred, and this by official action, for conductors and porter! on trans entering and leaving this city have started a crusade against the custom and are taking it up through their unions, it is reported. The people who indulge in rice throw ing have no union, although it has been rumored that the discontinuance of this gentle pastime will be fought by rice importers 'who fear a fall in the market should the custom be abol ished. The reason for the, crusade of the conductors and porters is not sen timental. It does not even propose to advance civilization. It is purely uti litarian and selfish. A Pullman car through which about forty pounds of rice have been sprinkled is about as difficult a job in the house cleaning line as can be found. For that reason the porters are against rice throwing since it means much work at the end of the run. Furthermore before the rice ;s c1eaned up it does not add t0 the attractiveness of the car, for which the conductor is responsible. Hence this antagonism to this time-honored custom. While the matter may seem a small one its true importance is bet ter understood when it is known that on an average five newly married cou ples are bombarded-with rice every days on trains leaving New York. It is estimated that more than 100,1)00 pounds of this food product is wasted in this way every year in the city. Fur thermore rice throwing is frowned on r,ce which lodged in his ear. Alto gether the indictment custom is a heavy one. against this Furthermore, he modestly orovides in his bill that he shall be the first oc- would be still further complicated. There is certain to be a highly inter esting debate when this bill comes before Congress.
