Hot SOME GREAT ENTERPRISES UNDER WAY 1'roiircss nnil Cunt of Tunnels, IlrltlRi-s, lrHoun, Docks, l'arka nnd l'lilillc IltillilliiK Transfor mation lit Ti Vcnrn. No other city In the world Is Improving Itself nt the rate ut which New York is dclng so. The city has under way tun ncls, bridges rcrervolr3, public buildings, new driveways nnd new parks, tho total cost of which Is literally stupendous. Many of tho greatest projects are being rapidly pushed to completion. Tho cost of them nil extemU Into very ninny millions of dol lars. Somo of the public enterprises which are being curried out either by tho city or by public corporations, for which tho city will bo tho better, aro outlined by tho Now York Sun as follows: The $33,000,000 rapid transit subway from tho postofllce to Klngsbrldge nnd Bronx park has now been In process of construc tion for eleven months and one-fifth of the work on it has been done. The probabili ties oro th.it tho entire subway will he finished by the uutumti of 1003 nnd that trains will bo running In it by the fol lowing Christmas, nearly a year nhcad of tho contract time. Tho tunnel Is divided Into fifteen Sections nnd work Is In full swing on all but tho two farthest uptown. At ono point In llnrlom tho arch Is finished and covered. Nearly $40,000,000 tho tun nel will cost really, for a million or two must bo spent on land for tcrmlnuls nnd nearly as much mart' oil changes In street nnd sowers. Next comes the S,000,000 Brooklyn tun nel which Is to run from tho postofllc. terminus In tho subway hero to the Mat tery nnd under the Rast river (o Klatbush avenue. Tho bill has boen npproved by all tho necessary city ofllcors. Pinna aro now being drawn and soundings are being niado. Tho contract will bo let before Christmas probably, nnd In less tlinu tljreo years tho tunnel ihuy bo completed. Undor the North river there Is already n tunnel, moro than half complete, on which millions havo been spent. It runs from tho foot of Morton street here to Fifteenth street, Jersey City, nnd less than a quarter of a milo of It remains to bo excavated. Hut several companies have gouo Into bankruptcy over tho project and It waits, Us workings full of mud and water for theso Inst ten years, for new hands to finish it. In tho many schemes for extending transit facilities it Is pretty suro to bo considered soonei or Inter, and then a few months work will complete It. Thcro is ono other tunnel project, newer thnn nil tho vest, but which tho next five years Is llkoly to seo carried out. Long Island railroad Interests havo Just incor porated a $1,000,000 company to construct an underground railway four miles long, to pass undor thu KaBt river and connect the Long Islnnd terminus In Long Island City with n point In Manhattan south of Fif tieth stroot find west of Drondway. Tho company has no frnuchUo yet, but It will have smalt difficulty In getting one. Then It will complete tho lty's futuro system of underground truvrl. IlrltliiliiK tho Illvcrs. Trescnt trnnslt oxtenstonn run to bridges, Mtcr tunnels. Tho new Bast river brldgo from Dclanccy street to Drooklyn may b. finished within a year or so. Tho towers on both sldoh' aro complete now, tho prelimi nary cables nro up and the contractor Is niuklng tho wire for tho big cables. After that tho approaches havo to be built. It will bo two yearn perhaps before those aro In shaiki, niid tho city will have another great enterprise complete. Fifteen million dollars, perhaps more, It U costing. Less U.nn two miles nbovo soundings are being taken for the $S,000.000 cantilever bridge from Slxtynocond street to Black well's Islnnd and thence to Astoria, the Initiation of which Mayor Von Wyck re gards as one of tho best features of his ad ministration. Tho plan3 havo been drown nnd nro now nwaltlng tho approval of the War department. Tho bridge may bo com pleted vlthln five years. Hlds for the six piers vofo opened a fow days ago. A third Hast river brldgo, known as yet only as KaBt river bridge No. 3, Is In con templation. It Is to run from I'lko slip to Washington street, Brooklyn, nnd contracts havo already been let for the foundations for tho plors. Llko tho present Brooklyn brldgo It is to bo of tho suspension variety. Tho minimum cost will bo $10,000,000. Thcro are two bridges In contemplation across the North river, though both proj ects nro somewhat in tho nlr nt present. It la ulto probable that tho enormously expensive structuro which the Interests al lied with tho Pennsylvania railroad are planning to build to connect Its terminus In Jersey City with romo point near Twontv-thlrd street may be completed first, Ah yet, however, oven tho detailed plans havo not been drawn. Tlnns for tho North river brldgo from Fifty-ninth street to Wechawkcn havo been drawn and the War department haB ap proved' them. Tho project Is dormant be cnuso Qovcrnor Odell vetoed tho bill which gave over West street ns far south as tho natterv to tho brldgo compnny for an ap proach. Whether tho company will Tovlve tho plan In another form or will offor now terms. It has given no sign. Sixty million dollars has been estimated as thti cost of this enterprise. rubllo Buildings. Nearest to completion of all tho city's oulldliig projocts is Its new prison on the slto of the old Tombs, on which work has bcon going on for nearly four years. Tho prison Is being built In two wings, each wlug as largo as the old Jail. Tho first Is almost finished. A fow cells In It nro already occupied In fact. It will be fully occupied In a fow months and then tho old lull can bo torn down nnu tno seconu wing built on Its site. Halt a million has been spent on the first part of tho work Tho walls of tho new $4,000,000 Hall of Ilecords which tho city Is building on tho ground bounded by Center, Chambers and Duano streets, nro built up to tho second tory. It will be tho most expensive, most thoroughly nroproof nnd best equipped building of Us kind In tho world and In tho matter of new buildings this Is the most costly Improvement Now York now has on its hands. it is to cost more man S4.23S.000. Tho foundations for the public library n Bryant park, tho city's other costly new building, aro ready and a few days ago the contract for tho superstructure was awarded. Three and n half million dollars tho entlro structuro will cost and half u million has already been expended. The Wldlne will occupy tho greater part of a city block and wllf. bo built of marble throughout. Fow public buildings In the city will equal It. Up on Mornlngsldo Heights another new tructure or a senn-punnc cnaracier is uo Inb constructed, which nt no very distant date will be one of tho city's show plnccs. This Is tho Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It Is being built In sections, tho chancel first, and the crypt and tho great chancel arch only have been completed so far. No real estimate of tho cost of It nil has been made. Nearly $1,000,000 has already been expended and millions moro will be required. Up In that region many millions are be ing spent on handsome buildings. The new Columbia university, Just off the heights, Is only the first link In a remarkable chain of Institutions of learning. The new Col lego of tho City of New York will como next. Manhattan college Is a tlttlo west of that. Across tho river and the valley Is the New York university, carrying the lino along to Fordham, whero the picturesque St. John's college ends It. I'nrkn mill DrlviMvn jn. In Tho Bronx tho city Is spending Its millions lavishly. On tho slto of old Jerome park 5,000 workmen hnvo been tolling for tho last three years on tho new Jerome park reservoir, now moro than half com plete, which Is to supply the entlro upper half of tho city with water. Nearly $15, 000,000 Is being spent there In the construc tion of a vast retaining basin for the needs of the upper pnrt of town, nnd from 10,000 to 15,000 persona aro earning their liveli hood at the work. Thirty miles abovo and forming part of the same water system moro millions are being spent on tho hugn Cornell dam. Years havo been spent on this Immense mass of masonry, which nt the baso Is 100 feet wide, and It Is now ncarlng completion. When It 1b bull It wilt take five years moro to fill tho basin it Incloses. Then, where now are farms and villages, thero will be an Immense Inland sea of 4,000,000,000 gal lons of water for tho city's reservo supply. Trees and green fields will be burled fifty feet below tho surface. Thnt Is outsldo the city line. Inside, a brldgo costing moro than $500,000 Is under way and nearly built, spanning tho Harlem river from Ono Hundred and Forty-fifth street, Manhattan, to Ono Hundred nnd Forty-ninth street, Tho Bronx. Another, equally costly. is being erected from Willis to First avenue. Both will bo finished by winter. Thu draw of tho lnttcr brldgo Is now being put In place, and It will bo open to traffic In n mouth or two. Then tho river will be spanned by a brldgo overy fow blocks. In Bronx park tho city Is halplng to con struct tho most complcto zoological garden In America. A spaco of moro than 260 ncros has bcon turned over to tho Now York Zoological socloty, which has already a great collection there housed In the best buildings that can be dovised for tho pur pose. A great court of honor, surrounded by flno buildings, Is planned. Tho whole Echemo Is tho most ambitious of Its kind ever conceived. , Tho small park system begun In Tweed's time Is being carried Into effect throughout the city at an enormous cost. Soward park, ono now breathing placo of this kind, Is Just open, adjoining Rutgers street, on the East Sldo, nnd another $5,000,000 park In Little Italy, now tho most crowded tene ment quarter, Is nearly ready. Tho pnrk schemo contemplates n scoro moro such gardens for tho poor. Only last week moro than $1,000,000 was voted to pay for a North river park In the crowded West Side. Tho crcat viaduct extending Riverside drlvo northward to tho Boulevard Lafay- tto will be complotcd next month. It spans tho Manhattan valley with great steel arches as high as Brooklyn bridge. From It thcro Is tho finest view tho city has to show. A dozen blocks toclow a smaller via duct, nearly complcto, levels the beautiful' drlvo and carries It over Ninety-sixth street, that heavy trucks going to tho dock at the river front may not lnlerfcro with tho pleasuro of those who ride or drive by.

Years have been spent In, tho at tempt to find the best slto for It. It Is a beautiful structuro In tho form of a temple. The Inscriptions on It aro about to be cut and in the coming autumn It will likely be opened. Another great driveway, a $12,000,00 con course, is planned in tho Bronx. Surveys havo been made for It and Its turn for con struction will probably come next In the lino of tho northern Improvements. So far It hao been too expensive a luxury for the city to acquire Tho Museum of Natural History Is still another great enterprise which tlmo will develop. It Is a handsome building now, though only that part of It forming tho Seventy-seventh street front has been com pleted. Tho plan In Its onttroty Is for a great collodion of buildings covering five city blocks. Tho cost will bo $13,000,000 at least, but no city In tho world will have a structuro of the kind so great and so Imposing. Tho city has so far spent only a few mil Hon dollars on Its great dock Improvements and It has constructed six piers only, tbosa between Bloomfleld street and West Elev enth street on the North river. These new piers will bo extended up to Twenty third street as soon aB tho city can afford It and tho work can bo done. The cost will bo enormous, but the growing com morco of tho port will pay for It. Downtown at Bowling Orcen a slto has been cleared for tho now custom house and the foundation Is being dug. Tho building will not comparo with any of the new municipal structures, but It will be Imposing and will tmprovo lower Broad way nnd adjacent Battery park. The cost will be nearly $2,000,000 and It will bo finished In little more than a year. Tho Chamber of Commerce Is spending $1,500,000 on its new home tn Liberty street. That, too. will be a handsome addl tton to tho financial district of tho city. Tho slto is now almost ready and tho building will be open a year hence. The Improvements In tho shape of as phalted streets, In street car transportn tlon, In small parks nnd In private build ings tuai are Doing mane annually aro enormous. There are still 100 tulles of horse car lines within tho city limits, but these will not remain long. It Is all Ira piovlng tho metropolis on a scale nnd at a rapid paco not equalled anywhere In tho world. Ten years hence New York will ba transformed.

A physician who has recently returnod from Persia says that tho natives still be Hcve that human tears aro a remedy for certain chronic diseases. At every funeral tho bottling of mourners' tears Is one of tho chief foaturcs of the ceremony. Each of tho mournors is prerented with a sponge with which to mop his face and eyes and after tho burial these sponges are pre sented to tho priest, who squeezes the tears into bottles, which ho keeps. A Chicago Justice of tho pence has sen tenced a young man to save $100. Tho youth wns arrested for playing base ball in the public street and for tho added mis demeanor of advising a police officer whn objected to go and Jump in the river. As tho lad was playing during business hours the maglstrato shrewdly opined that he was an Idler, and hence the sentence, The culprit Is to report at stated Intervals and exhibit his savings bank account, sentence to bo suspended as long as he shows rca sonable progress toward the accumulation of $100.

Why, in the heyday of success, without apparent motive, should a man turn ins oacic on an no nas neiu clear and take that terrible leap in tho dark?

But this man did not fast 1 Ho ate nnd drank of tho best at nil times. And yet ho may have starved. It is not whnt is eaten that nourishes the body but only nuch part of the food eaten us is digested and assimilated. When the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are weak or diseased, tho nutrition of tho body will bo reduced in proportion to tho gravity and extent of tho disease. Go into a business man V restaurant and seo how many men take a tablet or a few drops of medicine before eating. Ask them why and they will say " Just n touch of stomach trouble." Tho majority of business men have " wonk " or diseased stomnchs, the legitimate result of irregular meals, hastilv eaten nnd often composed of indi gestible, nnd innutritions foods. Drops and tablets only i elieve the symptoms; tfioy don't touch the root of tho disease. Thousands of business men perish in their prime just by reason of'a diseased stomach. They are said to have died of a diseased heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., or now and again aro self-destroyed. But the real cause of the catastrophe is the diseased Btomach which can not carry on the processes by which tho dependent organs, heart, livor, lungs, and all other organs must bo nourished and by which alone their vitality is sustained. Human life is sustained by food and food aloue. Tho several organs of tho body which in their aggregate mako up the body depend on food for vitality and strength. But food only nourishes tho body and its orgauB when it has been digested and assimilated. When tho stomach and digestive and nutritive systems are diseased, mere is a lailuro of the digestive powers and consequently a loss of nutrition. In timo each organ of the body feels this loss and tho weakest organ is the Hint to Bticcuinb to the resulting disease. Tho testimony to the cures of disease of tho stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery comes from all classes and both sexes. Clergymen, lawyers, mer chants, clerks, lnborcrs, nfiirm that it roots out the disease, purifies and enriches the blood and gives new life and now strength. In general the loss of nutrition by disease shows itself in loss of flesh. When tho disease causing loss of nutrition is cured by " Golden Medical Discovery, tho cure is marked by tlio regaining of sound healthy flesh, pound by pound, ns tho cure progresses. One of the commonest words of our language is tho word indi gestion. It is to common that, we think lightly of the complaint it indicates. Indigestion should be regarded as the beginning of serious forms of disease- and be treated promptly and practically by the use of " Golden Medical Discovery." It cures dimple cases quickly. It Cures complex cases moro slowly, but the important point is that- in ninety-eight per ecnt. of cases, whatever the stage of disease, "Golden Medical Discovery" cures it perfectly nnd permanently.

Mr. Edward Jacobs, of Marengo, Crawford Co., Indiana, writes: three years of suffering with liver trouble and malaria, I gave up all hopes of ever (retting stout again, and the last chance was to try your medicine. I had tried all the home doctors and received but little relief.
