Tricks In Every Trade.

A well-known publisher said to me
the other day: The book business is in
u bad way, at least for the publishers
of cheap books and monthly libraries.
The competition is tremendous not
alone among publishers but among
writer's as we'll. So much matter is
submitted for consideration that it is
impossible even to read it. believe

the elevated lines. The problem
is nothing less than this: To
carry five hundred thousand people back
and forth from the business section to
the new wards ten miles away beyond
the Harlem, without neglccting the
million who still live on Manhattan
Island. There must be express trains
running forty miles an hour and local
trains stopping every half or quarter
mile. There must be an east side and a
west side system, with fanlil1c branches
across the river. No other city has
such n problem. No resident of London,
even, must travel ten miles or more for
cheap home.
