Addi MRS. HARRIET M. RICHARDS. Bax 27X0 Jalixt, llllnol«. I I N a previous article we have imag time to sleep, and a little more. Naturally, ined our entrance to the city from a completely rural neighborhood. W e have gone only as far as the Con servatory of the New York Botanical So ciety and now will start downtown. Wc will take the elevated railroad or as, for brevity, it usually called, “the L." The station is at the northern terminus of the line. There is a level walk hy which we approach from the park, but at all other stations we must ascend by stairs, some times to a considerable height. The road is standard-gauge, double-tracked through out and with a third track for part of the way. It is carried along the streets on iron pillars, set near the curb on either side of the street. These lift the structure to such a height that moving vans, etc., can pass under without diffi culty at the lowest places. Elsewhere, to avoid steep grades, the height is much greater. We enter the station and buy a red ticket for each member of the party. They cost five cents each. These we drop in a box guarded hy a solemn-looking in dividual in blue coat and brass buttons, known as the ‘’ticket chopper," and pass out on the platform. We see two or three persons attempt to pass and hear them instructed to drop their tickets in the box. If this were a provincial village some of the bystanders would snicker at the green ness of the stranger. Not so in New York. In the village the stranger is a rarity. In the great city he is there by the thousands in fresh arrivals every* day. T he New Y rker looks at the stranger as does the hotel clerk and is not in the least amused by his unfamiliarity with new conditions. A train comes up to the station, the gates are flung open and the crowd of ar rivals hurries off the platform. H urry is the word. In New York everybody hur ries. If they do not they get run over. There are people from the outside who object to the hurry of New York, but, as usual, they miss the mark. There is nothing “ feverish" about it. nothing of the “mad rush for dollars,” which these groaning moralists discover. T hat the people of New York arc any “ madder” in this particular rush than the people of Kennebunk or Olympia is absurdly un true. The whirl of speculation, which takes up columns of newspapers, affects but a minute fraction of the population of the city. The vast m ajority are w ork ing for wages, and the work and wages are sim ilar to that in thousands of smaller towns. The dollars, for the most part, come in the same inconveniently small amounts, in the same familiar small bills and are passed out with the same prompti tude to very similar-looking butchers, gro cers, bakers and the rest. If stocks drop heavily on the Exchange a small fraction of the population wi*ll be excited. An other small fraction will read the big headlines, mention the .matter to a friend as a means of carrying on a conversation, with about as much excitement as they remark the pleasant weather. The rest of the population pass without interest, emotion or remark to topics of whatever sort may suit their varied tastes. Hum bugs and fakers of the Lawson type have ten times as many dupes outside of New York as they have in it. and “W all Street" is mentioned a hundred times, population considered, in W hat Cheer or Skookum Chuck to once in the city where it is known as a narrow street, opposite T rin ity ’Church and having *a great many banks and brokerage offices. So much for the “mad rush for dollars." The real reason for the hurry in New York is that the downtown district— lower M anhattan—is many miles from the homes of the m ultitude who daily do busi ness there. A considerable time each day is occupied in going to and lrotn busi ness. When this is added to the hours they are employed thev have left enough this little more is a most precious asset and they make the most of it. They hurry to the train, they hurry from the train in order to get to their place of employment in time, to get the evening dinner while it is hot. to prepare for an evening away from home, to prenare for expected guests or to enjoy as much as is possible of the society of 'their families. A pale-faced, middle-aged clerk is sprint ing toward the ferry in order to get his supper and take his daughter to a free lecture on “Constantinople” -at the neighborhood assembly hall. And tlu< visiting citizen ot Blue E arth County sees him and shudders at the “mad rush for wealth,” which is destroying lives and souls of the people of the metropolis. W hen the great m ajority is hurrying thus most people accommodate themselves to the pace. A few fail to do so and possibly are bumped by some of the h u r rying passers-by. The slow-paced bumpee hears the word “pardon” and sees the person who jostled him disappearing some paces ahead. H e is surprised^ or, if ill- natured, indignant. But if he continues even a short time in the city he learns to move with the tide and, in time, if he humps one of his leisurely going form er townsmen, he will say “ Beg pardon!’ and scoot past with the celerity he has just witnessed. We enter the train, which has on either side a long row of seats facing the centre. As we are starting from the terminus, many seats are vacant as the train leaves. Stations . re about six blocks apart and are called, as we reach them, by the guards, who occupy the car platform s and who open and shut the gates. A crowd on the station plaftorm surges forward as we arrive. "Let ’em off first! Let ’em o ff!" the guard shouts, and the crowd obediently, hut impatiently, gives way as the debarking passengers hurry from the train. "Step lively, please!” is his next command, disregarding the fact that there may be present , Philadelphians, whose feelings may be Tiurt. As a m atter of fact, there has been an order that these words may-not he used, but they are so to the point, so classic in their simplicity, that« on occasion they involuntarily come forth, and the attem pt of the railroad management to do away with one of the established customs of the city was, of course, doomed to failure. A few stations, and we find that all the seats are occupied. It seems that nearly every passenger has a morning paper. There are all the well-known dailies printed in the English language and per haps one or more in German, Italian or Yiddish, the latter in Herbrcw charac ters. Another station and there are more passengers than seats. The men reach up and, grasping with one hand a strap which depends from a metallic rail, hold up the inevitable newspaper with the other and fall to reading with the un concern born of long familiarity with ac cepted conditions. At the next station the crowd in the aisle increases and sev eral women, bound upon shopping expe ditions, arc among those left standing. The sitting passengers sit tight and keep on reading. O ur visiting friends from Tompkins Corners jum p up in wild ex citement and politely yield their seats. Still there are women left standing and our friends glare ferociously at the m as culine sitters, hut their glare gets nf> farther than the serried ranks of out spread newspapers, from which the read ers do not lift their eyes. 'Their guide, a case-hardened New Yorker, cynically keeps his seat and bids them watch de velopments. Another station is reached. A part of the crowd gets up to depart. The women who have been standing drop into the vacant seats. The men who have been standing keep on standing. Another crowd TO WOMEN WHO DREMT m OTHERHOOEI comes on. More men and women are standing. Another station is reached, In fo r m a t io n H o w T h e y M a y G iv e B ir th to more people get up. the women who were H a p p y .
