Tho Subway Ih another affair cf
great magnitude. It haa coat over
one hundred million dollars, and it
Htanda as tho moat remarkable tun
neling propoflttlou lu the world
today. It will be ojien to travel
within Hlxty days, extending the
entire length of Manhattan. They
will operate five hundred cam, and
tho CHtlniated carrying capacity In
forty thounand people per hour.
With tho completion of tho Sub
way, Now York will have three car
linos along the tmmo avenue. First;
thoHurfaco street railway. Second;
tho elevated, thirty feet above the
atreet. Third; tho Subway, thirty
to forty feet beneath the street.
New York City aooma to have en
Joyed a boom during tho past Ave
years In building as well as other sick to instruct their medical
Industrial enterprises. This boom
has had a mild check the last few
months. Due, It Is said, to the
stringency of the money market In
Wall Street. Manipulations there
seem to have a most far reaching
effect. Kverythlng is attributed to
Wall St. I have heard It given ns
the cause for business depression in
widely varrylng lines. The same aa
we In Lake county attribute good or
bad business to the beef, unit ton and
wool market.
New York presents great contrasts
between wealth and poverty. The
poor are much In evidence In certain
districts. The city has Ita Kost
Side as well as Ita Fifth Avenue.
The question immediately occurs
to one; why do all these poor people
remain lu New York? It seems they
prefer to remain here and starve,
rather than scatter throughout t he
country or go West where they
might bo fairly comfortable. The
sick poor, except In Isolated canes,
arc well taken cure of at tho numer
ous free dlsiHusailes uud hospitals.
Among those Booking relief, there
are comparatively few English
speaking, or at least American born.
The clinics are made up almost
entirely of foreigners. .
Many hospitals make use of the
BtudcntH, while at the same time
they do not neglect the wellfure of
the patient.
New York city has become the
mecea of the student of medicine. It
Is no longer either tho fashion or
neocesBary to go to Europe. In fact
many from the other side ore now
coming here to furnish their medical
educatiou. Where there are doceus
coming now there will tie thousands
ten yeara hence, la the prophecy of
observant medical men.
This is one of the fast things In
which tho new World, always to the
front, haa proven superior to tho
old; namely in the Art nud Science of
medicine.
