TUB NOKFOMv NKWS : FHIDAY , NOVEMBER 18 , 11)08. ) Many Building Operations Have Been Postponed. IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW YORK Millions Doing Spent at Brooklyn Navy Yard and Remarkable Change Dclng Made Getting Ready for the Tiger's Reign. Now York , Nov. 13. Now York has had trouble of Its own in the matter of getting up now buildings because of the strikes from which tbo city has been suffering for tbo past sev eral months. Despite all this , however - over , there nro several Improvements under way that will , within the next two or three years , add greatly to the magnificence and Importance of the city. Fashionable apartment and tenement house operations have been the most pronounced feature of the building activity since the settle- mentor the strikes , but there are several elegant now office buildings In prospect , with a few palatial pri vate residences In the faslilonablo \ districts and another theatre or two yet. Across the bridge millions of dollars lars are being spent at the Brooklyn Navy yard and within the next few months a remarkable change in tbo appearance and efficiency of the yard will be noticed. Among the Improve ments will be a new dry dock which will cost $1,200,000 and which Is ex pected to bo tbo largest and host equipped dry dock In tbo country for repairing battleships. Although tbo improvements will make possible the more rapid construction of ships and greatly faclllitato repair work , the fact remains that tbo area of tbo yard Is entirely too limited for the growing needs of the navy- It Is doubtful If there Is a nuslcr man In New York today than Dis trict Attorney William Travors , le- romo. If plans which ho has on foot carry , any Impression that may have been formed that Now York Is to bo a 'wide open" town after January 1 when Tammany Hall takes possession of the city again may bo removed Immediately. That Mr. Jerome will bo a thorn In tbo side of the Tiger administration in case of policy of a "liberal enforcement" of the laws Is already apparent. Mr. Jerome as serts that he will keep nfter the gamblers and dives and further an nounces that a number of Now York i millionaires have confidentially pledg ed whatever financial support bo may need for the success of his work. After the horse show tonight so ciety will run down to Lakewood forever over Sunday. The season , which promises to bo very lively at the fashionable resort , opens tonight and awag'gor people from all parts of the conntry have been flocking there for the past few days. The Now York contingent will bo large and fash ionable. Ono of Lakowood's attrac tions that appeals not only to Now Yorkers , but to strangers as well , Is its accessibility to New York. An hour and a half on the fast trains that one can attend the theatre or J opera In Gotham , and yet ho may have his own bed to sleep in with the balsam of the pines to invite his slntnbers. It has been a long time since so many cases of pneumonia have been reported at the various hospitals In this city. A very prominent physi cian informs your correspondent that Vbo majority of such cases at this "time of year may bo traced directly to the poorly heated fiats and apart ments. Landlords and agents put off the heating of flats to the last day and the result is that many cases of pneumonia are developed. The resi dents of the west side seem to suffer most and It is expected that the board of health will bo called upon to take action In the matter. Long Beach , L. I. , which It Is re ported that the United States govern ment is thinking of purchasing for a submarine station Is one of the pret tiest spots around Now York. It has many natural advantages , being located on Gardiners Bay where al most every year the warships are stationed for practice. It Is about three miles in length. Much Interest has been aroused among Now York militiamen over the possibility of the mllltla regiments of the United States being placed up on a basis of pay In a manner whlcl would comply with that allowed by the United States government to men In the regular army. It Is under stood that a bill will bo Introduced a the next session of congress whlcl will embrace the proposition to do this. The local guardsmen are unanl mous In their approval of such a measure. A keen observer of things foml nlno will notice that a great deal o brown Is worn by fashionable womot of Gotham. A member of the Fou Hundred states that the color Is af footed out of compliment to Mis Alice Roosevelt , who has suddenly Tcored from her favorite blue toth sow russet brown. Miss Koosevol is very popular In Now York soclet and her unassuming manner ha on for her many friends. Desplto or strenuous llfo she has not taken n tbo looklof the older girls of the mart set. The opinion held by many that col- ego students love fun nnd college antes more than work Is losing ; round every year. Few people real- y know bow hard many students vork during tbo vacation mouths to arn their tuition for tbo next term. A report just Issued by the Columbia Indents shows that during the sumner - nor vacation this year Columbia boys arned a total of ffil.lOUW. This Is in Increase of over $10,000 over last 'ear. After all the great flro which re- eutly destroyed tbo Bowery section ) f Coney Island might prove a bios- Ing. The lllmsoy wooden structures hero wore a menace to the public afoty and had the llro occurod in ho summer tbo loss would have boon ar greater. Some of the owners of ho three hundred structures swept iway have already begun now build- ngs on the old sites , all of which ro to bo constructed of fireproof ma- crlal. A now corporation known as he "Wonderland Company" Is plan ning an amusement palace to rival bo famous "Luna Park" which ho- amo famous the world over last ummer. General Francis V. Greene , police ommlssloner , Is being talked of as lead of the committee that will su- lorvlso the construction of canals , irovldcd for In the bill for that pur- > ese and recently approved by pop- ilar vote In this city. It is not like- y , however , that any steps will be akcn In the near future to put into effect the canal enlargement. Indeed t is stated on good authority that 10 bonds will be issued or work done icforo the opening of the legislature n January. After that winter condi- ions would In any case delay work intil next spring. The discovery that the channels In > Jew York harbor are being slowly nit surely blocked by tbo tons of llrt and refuse that are being dumped nto the water daily by scores of scows , is not pleasing to the shipping ) eoplo and residents of New York , n tbo very path of vessels within a adius of three-fourths of a mile southeast and cast of the Sandy Hook ightship , there are now only six to seven fathoms of water , where there ised to bo 11M : and 1C fathoms , as narked on the United States chart. The supervisor of tbo Now York barer - ) or , at the suggestion of the pilot commissioners , is making an investi gation of the matter. 13 < liiirtto | 1 > y Precedent. For example of how men may live and act according to precedent there can be no bettor reference than to the lord chamberlain's office in London. There In quiet rooms day after day men learned in state etiquette , court dress and royal functions reach down heavy volumes to see what was done on such and such an occasion. Beauti ful pictures showing with minute ex actness tbo details of the court costume under various circumstances are ready to their hands. Is the shah of Persia coming ? Is the kaiser soon to arrlv6 ? Is the king go ing to receive the monarch of Slam ? Is one of the royal prlnccst es to be married ? Whi'ii any of these events happens , the officials at the lord cham berlain's office know exactly what to do. And if some point should crop up which has not been raised for a cen tury or more they have the faithful official records as to what was done on the hist like occasion. A CtirloiiN Clock. In one of the chief watchmaking es tablishments in Xurlch theie is to be seen a remarkable curiosity in the way of watch or clock making. The time piece is In the form of a ball , which moves imperceptibly down an inclined surface without rolling. Tin ; length of this Inclined surface , which is sixteen Inches long , Is accomplished from top to bottom in twenty-four hours. Then the ball only needs lifting to the top again. This extraordinary timepiece has no spring and therefore needs no winding. The hands are kept In mo tion by the sliding along an Inclined plane. London Globe. Ileforc MnrrlnRe.
