Now York city la the homo of multitudes
There they nourish and wax corpulent. In
its ordinary condition , the city U a hugo
Jostling , dodging Jam of humanity nnd vo-
hlclc4 an animated sardine box of maginfl-
cent proportions ,
Imaglno a million and three-quarters of
people packet ! Into n space of 27,000 acres.
Four-fifths of this number are anchored on
Manhattan island , comprising 14,000 acres.
Bubslract from that the Central park area of
BUG acres and an Idea may he gained of the
size of this miehty Metropolitan jam. To
New York's dully throng must bo nildcd the
tens of thousands living in Lirooklyn , on the
Jersey side and up the country , but doing
business In Now York , and n countless num
ber of transients.
The area of Manhattan Island , Into which
this vast population is compressed , is equal
to onc-Hlxtcotith the area of Douglas county ,
Nebraska. It occupies loss territory by two
square miles than the city of Omaha. A
strip of country ono inilo and three-quarters
wide , extending from Florence on the north
to the Sarpy county line , will hold all people
nnd parks on the island , nnd have room to
snare. That part of the city north of the
Harlem river would Imveamplo space within
the boundaries of Council UlulTs. The total
crco of the city would make 1C ! ) farms of ICO.
acres each. Add to this the area of Brook
lyn , Jcisoy City , HoboU.cn , AVcohawkcn and
Guttenburg , with a population approaching
8,000,000 , and the total would not equal the
area of Douglas county. The water of the
Inner harbor could bo thrown in without
overflowing the boundaries.

U is a mistake to suppose that the 1m-
porlnl west enjoys a monopoly of the modoru
hustlo. Collectively the west developed a
OOy paco. Individually wo "lag superfluous"
when measured by the gait of the metropolis
of the nation. Sprinting is compulsory.
The tides of humanity and trafllo which
meet and struggle for advantage at strcot
crossings down town retulcr agility of limbs
nnd eyes necessary if one desires to prolong
life. Therushing and Jostling of people are
continuous and nt times tcrritlc. At the
prominent , ferries , throngs rush out and
I dash through an opening in the stream of
tradio as though life depended ou the
exertion.
To a westerner reared amid ample sur
roundings nnd breathing God's free air
at first hand , the Jam and Jostle and the
cramped streets of Now York are a source ol
wonder not unmixed with pity. Peter
Mlnult who Joshed the aborigines with gew
gaws and secured title to Manhattan island ,
nor the succeeding Knickerbockers down to
the present century , did not dream thcj
wcro founding the commercial and financial
heart of the new world. Their notions anO
their foresight were as contracted as the
streets they laid out. The cowpaths of the
past nro the "wide streets" ol today , am
many of them prominent in business and
historic associations would not rank * beyond
respectable alloys in Omaha. "Wall streot-

In some unexpected way n now wonder to
pnrfonn. Unlqun nnd surprising In mnthnd
nnd number ot Journnllstlo now uopjrturos ,
lllco distinction characterizes the Horald's
now homo. To many the romovnl from
llroadwny nnd Ann streets Is regarded as n
sacrilege , because much that Is rovorcd In
Now York Journalism clusters nround Park
llow. Memories , no matter how much re
spected , are trifles In the scale of modern
newspaper growth. The old homo of the
Horalii has outgrown Its usefulness. It Is
cratnpod nnd crowded nnd the noise nnd
Jostle of trafllo nnd throngs render removal
to moro commodious quarters and comforta
ble surroundings ti necessity ns well ns ovl-
dcnco of sound Judgment.
The trend of llfo In Now York Is distinc
tively up town nnd the Herald Is the ilrst to
Join the procession. While the great heart
of finance nnd commerce will remain down
town , modern facilities of communication
annihilate distance and render unnecessary
the 'nearness of headquarters which former
conditions demanded. Indeed , the wisdom
of the change becomes moro apparent when
it Is considered that the location Is In the
midst of the great hotels of the city and Is
comparatively frco from the nervo-wrecUlng
rnttlo of traffic.
The now Herald building Is eminently
characteristic. It is unlike anything clso In
the country. Other great newspaper build
ings In the city attract the eye of the visitor
by reason of their height , The younger
licnnctt ignored the lustilon by rearing a
two-story structure. It Is located at the
Intersection of Uroadway and Sixth avenue ,
nnd extends from Thirty-fifth to Thirty-
sixth streets. It occupies a rectangular
pleco of ground , having a frontage of sixty-
one feet on Tlilrty-lifth strcot , 212 feet on
Uroadway , 137 foot on Thirty-sixth street
and 1U3 feet on Sixth avenue. It is what
Hill Nye would call a "low-browed building. "
At n distance it is unattractive , but on close
Inspection Its great size , polished columns
nnd lavish ornamentation compel iidmiru-
tion. The architecture Is Italian renais
sance , modeled after a Venetian palnco.
The main entrance , facing thu square on
Thirty-Hull street , as well as the ground
lloor on the Uroadway nud Sixth avenue
sides , arc recessed , n long line of pol'shcd '
white marble columns supporting the lloor
above. The outer shell of the building is
cream colored terra cotta , beautifully
ornamented in columns , pannls nnd lloral
tracery. A , clock , bells and chimes , similar
to those in the clock tower of the Piazza San
Maria of Venice , surmounts the cornice
facing the square ou Thlrty-ilfth street.
Beside It are two figures representing typesetters -
setters with mnllcts in hand icndy to strike
the hours , half and quarter hours.
Statuettes of Minerva surmount the corners
and between these something litco a score
of owls , emblematic of wisdom. Thcso
birds will not bo idle figures , Small Incan
descent lamps will bo placed iu the heuds
and at night these hright-oycd owls will
blink nnd wink in. a manner startling to the
belated and weary rounder.
Tlio first floor will contain the counting
room , the press room , the stercotypers , mail
ers and distributors. The second lloor will
bo devoted to editors and correspondents.
The composing room. 7'JxlCy ' feet , nnd the art
department , will be in the loft , lighted and
ventilated by skylights. In the basement
nro the engines , boilers , machine shop and
store rooms.
The building throughout Is arranged so ns
lo afford the greatest facility for the pro
duction of U metropolitan newspaper. It is
commodious and complete in every detail
und an enduring monument to the originality
und enterprise of James Gordon Dennett.

If the penny wise and pound foolish oppon
ents of n market house in Omaha could bo
induced to visit and examine an institution
of that kind in Now York city , the experi
ence would open their oyes. If the argu
ment of those millstones to progress hud a
shadow of foundation , it Is passing strange
the sharp , experienced traders and house ,
keepers of the metropolis cling tenaciously
to market houses. As n mutter ol
fact the markets not only cheapen the
cost of living , but concentrate household
necessities so as to relieve purchasers ol
grout physical exertion which would bo required
quired under other conditions , nud protect
them from the extortions of corner grocer
ies. I spent several hours in Washington
murket and wandered through its labyriu-
thiun p'aths under the guidance of Mujoi
Dennis Guilfoylo. Mr. Guilfoylo weighs
about one-seventh of a ton , und his broad
generous proportions are a silent but elo
quent tribute to market house provender
A comparison of the price of meats ii
Omuha with that obtaining in Now Yorl
shows but slight variation. The dilTcrencc
ranges from 1 to 2 cents nor poum
higher in New York thun here. As the bull
of New York's supply comes from the west
it is evident that Now York enjoys excop
tionul favors in freieht rules , or else price !
in Oinulm uro excessive. The supplies o
gumo , fish , fruit and vegetable afford ai :
almostondlcss variety to select from. Rigii
inspection and the greatest cleanliness is en
forced. Over-ripo fruit , stale vegetables am
tainted moats are promptly destroyed. S <
great is the demand for spuco in the markel
that every spuro inch is occupied and tin
aisles cramped. Stands on the market Uuvi
a substantial value. I was informed semi
of them , having a regular , established trade
nnd occupying n space of 10x20 , wouli
readily bring S20,000.

evenings of early May. Bunks of lleec :
clouds hung lazily in the air , as If pondan
from the slurs. A full moon rose majestic
ally clear as though from the bosom oi th
Atlantic , bathing the sccno In mellow goldc
glow. The river was alive with craft
dashing hitlier'und thither , each with re
nnd bluish signal lights nnd the cabins ilk
minated with electric lights , reliecting a g !
guntlc prism of color on the ugitated wiitor :
Burtholdi's "Liberty" a milo away ilk
mined a broad circle U05 feet above th

main streets of Urooklyn. On the No' '

World , like a tunas of molten metal , glowe
ubove the surroundings , by fur the uioafcoi

LONDON , Juno 0. [ Correspondence of Tun

world of London go 'round , but Its fair coun
terfeit , In the form of a royal woddlng , c.in
Jtoop trade lively for sovorat months and
counteract the offset of several bank fall-
uros.
The English factories nro over busy grind
ing out grist for tholr world-wide commerce ,
but from the excessive gratitude expressed
because of the I'rlnccss May's decision to
have her whole trousseau maao of Urltlsh
goods It scorns that the usual way of royalty
when It would have Itself gorgeously clothed
is to sell Its sovereigns In foreign markets.
Yet there is no reason why Vrlnecss May
should not bo a bonny bride In her English
sown , though It will undoubtedly lack the
elegance nlways lent by the Parisian touch.
Hut that the great mob that will line the
road to the chapel royal In St. .Tamos'

will bo dlscreot.and not try to outsiilno her
royal highness and the German house of

ttto ixltnr drnpod In rod velvet and the \iowa \
will bo replaced by olinlri covered with near-
lot cloth , The gold communion service will
bo used and the state chair will bo placed
near the altar for the nuccn , who will bo
surrounded by the royal family anil foreign
guests.
Thochapol roynl will hold only 450 people
comfortably , so the number bidden to wit
ness the marriage ceremony will bo limited
to the numerous members of the royal fam
ily of Great Britain , the representatives of
foreign sovereigns , great ofllclals , cabinet
ministers and n few Important ucors. All
others whoso position entitles ttioiu to an in
vitation to the wedding will bo entertained
at luncheon at Buckingham palace and bo
presented ofllclally to the duke and duchess
of York.
Bo far as the people nro concerned they

the wedding took place In Westminster , as
thocarrlago processions \vlll bo the same.
All the morning guests will bo driven to St.
.Tames' from Buckingham , Marlborough
house , Olouccstcr house nnd the 1'alaco
hotel. Queen Victoria will use the grand
state carriage , drawn by six cream-colored
ponies , and will lead the procession to the
chapel. Directly all are scaled the duke of
York will arrive from Marlborough house
nnd will bo followed by the Princess May ,
supported by the dulco of Took , the dtiko of
Cambridge nnd eight bndomalds who are to
be selected from among the daughters of
peers. The archbishop of Canterbury , the
bishop of London , the bishop of Uoohester
and Canon D.ilton of Windsor will tlo the
knot according to the most elaborate form of
the established church.
Guests of High Decree.
The ceremony will bo witnessed by the

The Princess May will in the meantime
have some very good gowns of English silk
and broadcloth , Scotch tweeds and cheviots ,
Irish homespuns and poplins , Manchester
cottons , Belfast linens and cottugo mndo
lingerie , luces and embroideries and Liberty
silks. Her mother , good-natured Princess
Mary of Cambridge and duchess of Took ,
attends all the industrial sales patronized
by the aristocracy , makes a little speech
and buys a gown or other articles for her
daughter's wedding outfit. This is duly
chronicled in the court Journals and the
charity bazaars are immediately thronged
with purchasers.
Pricutcl ) * Wedding Gifts.
Tlio buying of gifts , too , is felt in the
trade. When half n million pounds is Doing
spent for costly trifles in ornament and art ,
business receives an impetus. Doubtless
philanthropists would have liked it better
had the bride and groom diverted all these
offerings to some charity , but there is no
doubt tnat the British merchant prefers
that the ovcrllow shall land in his own
pockets. It pays him to stimulate gift
making by starting a subscription. So it
comes about that corjx > rations are rivaling
ouch other in lavish expenditure.
London will easily load the list with the
magnificent diamond necklace und solid
silver tnhlo service that will include hun
dreds of pieces of the rarest design , many of
them massive. This will bo presented by
the city corporation and a subscription is
being generally signed by the merchants ,
bankers and citizens for another of. equal
magnificence. In Ireland the management
of a suitable gift of Irish manufacture is in
the Imnds of the famous court beauty , the
duchess of Lcinstcr. The marchioness of
Salisbury is the center of the movement in
Hertfordshire ; Lady Eva Grcvillois secur
ing money from thu girls of Great Britain.
Tlio city of York will remember Its prince
and the naval forces will unlto In a splendid
offering. It is impossible to compute the
number of gifts to bo bestowed by boroughs ,
institutions and private individuals among
the wealthy nobility.
Some of tlio money will flow over into c& '

dom intrudes. Lukti 'Flliles of the inner

U is duo to her majesty's queer tusto also
ro that the barest chapel in the ugliest palace
of Europe Is selected as the place for the
ceremonies. This is that hideous red brick
palace known as St. James , always used in
rt comparison when it is wished to speak of a
royal residence that is uglier than Bucking-
as ham. Westminster abbey is really the only
asd place in London big enough for u smart
= d royal wedding , but that Is too suggestive of
id departed greatness. St. George's chapel ,
Windsor , had been selected In which to cele
brate the nuptials of the late dune of Clar
ence nnd is obviously not spoken of for the
present occasion , and the chapel In Buck
ingham hns boon turned Into a greenhouse.
at Besides , the chapel roval In St. James has
associations dear to the heart of Victoria.

pleasing features of the ceremonies will bo

whom is Princess Margarotho of Prussia ,
and the Duke and Duchess Albert of Wur-

Then there will bo a reception in the state
apartments , after which the bride and crroom
will start on their honeymoon , which will
probably bo spent at Sandringham in Bach

of sovereigns in Europe.
When they return to London they will
live in St. James' palnco , a residence that
the sovereigns of Great Britain nro fond of
bestowing on heirs to the tnrono. The good
Queen Anne was graciously permitted to live
there with her stupid George of Hanover ,
nnd the future great duchess of Muriborough
by her brother-in-law , William of Orange.

duchess of Cambridge , and it was being re

STUDENT LIFE IN KT7SSIA.
Itlcorous IlMclplIno Is the llulo nt .Moscow
nnd St. Petersburg UnlviTHltlcs.
Nuwhoro in the world is the student
subject to such a strict , scorching nnd
rigorous discipline as is the student in u
Russian university. From his entrance
into Bcliool the boy of 10 or 11 years of
ago has to go through a long nnd tedious
process of training , the nature of which ,
according to the Now York World , tends
more to lit him for army service tlinu to
fill the professor's chair. In the prepara
tory class the boy is taught the names
of the royal family in order , and the
names of the entire dynasty in
their rank nnd order. Those ho must
know by heart. Next comes the way to
render honor and sain to all militurv
ollicers should hoiineot * them or speak
about them. Here also ho must learn
by heart the Russian national anthem ,
' 'God Save the Czar. " Next come
marching and the various military com
mands. An account is kept of the
physical developments of each boy , so
that when ho is 30 years old it can bo
seen by his physical progress if ho is tit
for the army service. At this time the
scholar receives a passport of "idcntill-
cation" and a book containing the rules
and regulations which are to govern his
life in tlio institution. The discipline
the Russian student has to undergo may
produce onoof two results. The student
may bo obedient or abjectly slavish , or
the rules and laws by which ho is gov
erned may give him food for rolleclion
and create a natural aversion to the au
thorities.
Hero are some of the requirements :
Each student must wear a military uni
form with brass and nickel plated but
tons which have to bo polished every
day ; each student must also clean his
own shoes ; mustache i.nrt beard are not
allowed ; hair must bo clipped close ;
smoking and.carrying a cane are forbid
den , as well as the use of any intoxicants
whatsoever. While walking to and
from school the student must carry on
his back his knapsack lillnd with books ,
weighing in all about twonty-Hye or
thirty pounds. This ho must do in all
kinds of woathor. The student cannot
attend any social or public gathering or
entertainment ; neither can ho go to the
theater or concert hall. Ho must not been
on the street after 7 p. in. Ho must
not read any newspaper whatsoever ,
or any books but those written
by Russian authors and approved of by
the censor. Any one observing the violation
lation of any of these rules may demand
the student's passport nud return the
same to the authorities , for which the
infprinor receives a reward , while the
htudent is punished by being locked up
for twelve hours in a dark room.
Secret societies or organizations
among the students are not to bo
dreamed of ; neither are students per
mitted to gath6r into groups. Two may
converse or speak with ono another , but
throe together are not allowed. A
young Russian who says ho attended ono
of those institutions is authority for the
statement that there is.always among
the students ono spy in ton , The same
person declares that when a spy makes
an unfavorable report tho.studont report
ed against suddenly disappears. In
the year 1885 , ho nlllnns , there wore
twenty-one disappearances in the St.
Petersburg university and double that
number in Moscow. If inquiry IB made
for tlio missing student , the inquirer
will bo told that the young man was con
sidered u dnngorouH subject to the com
munity and was therefore removed out
of hurm'u ' way. The teachers , profes
sors and directors of universities are ap-
poinud by a body selected for that special
purpose by the czar hlnibolf. Many
parents , knowing the risks and the dan
gers their boys are subject to while in n
Russian university , educate them
abroad. The young man Bent abroad
for education is looked upon by the uu <
thoritlcB ua a dangerous subject , full ol
liberal ideas and opinions concerning
public problems.
