What is considered by men familiar with the situation 10 be ihe best, subway proposition that has yet develuped for the Flatbush section has been embodied In a carefully prepared memorandum by ihe Executive Committee of the Flatbush Taxpayers Association and placed before the Public Service Commission. Tiie plan was submitted to the commission two days ago, and it has the support of a great number of prominent residents and business men of Flatbush. Details of the proposition were carefully outlined by ndrew Colvin at last night's meeting of the Flatbush Taxpayers Association at Flatbush avenue. The plan calls for the construction of a four-track extension of ibo subway over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. A good sized crowd witnessed the dedication of the new- hospital of the Orphan Asylum Society of Brooklyn', at 1435 Atlantic avenue, yesterday afternoon.

Several well known clergymen took part ia the exercises. The programme was mndo brief, so as to give the visitors a good opportunity to inspect the buildings of the institution. The Itcv. Dr. Iiobert MarDonald, pastor of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church the Rev.

The average inhabitant of Flatbush cares more for time saving anil convenience than he docs for a five-cent ftire. "But In addition to this, it. must be borne in mind that this is one of the most rapidly developing sections of the entira city, the population increasing at the rate of at leaBt lO.tHMJ per year, and this not because of convenience of transportation, as is the case in certain sections of -Manhattan and the Bionx served by the present subway, hut lu spite of the fact that there is no real rapid Iran-j York and Xostrand avenue line on tne one hand aic.l the Flatbush-Coney Island 11 ni on the othtr band might each have its own through express tracks and. leave two tracks on the trunk Hue and on each extension for local tra.Tir. r.bT.e arrangement of the station and platforms would enable piwngers at all times to I rem express to local or from Flatbuili to city line trains, or vice versa.

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, St. Blaise was a bishop and was martyred about the beginning of the fourth century. All the particulars concerning his life are purely legendary. It is said that he was a physician in Sebaste in Armenia, before be was raised to the episcopal see. At the time nf the persecution under Licinius.

he was taken prisoner in a cave to which he had retired, and while in prison he had performed a wonderful cure on a hoy who bad a fishbone in his throat and was iu danger of choking to death. St. Blaise became one of the most popular sainls of the middle ages probably on account nf the legend that 'he was a phvsioian and that remarkable cures were attributed to him, and for this reason the faithful sought his help intercession when ill. The blessing of St. Blaise is Eiven in Ibis wav: two caudles are consecrated by a prayer; these are then held in a crossed position by a priest touching the throat of the person who asks the blessing, while the priest says the following prayer: "May God.
