THE WAITING CROWD.
The Condition of Affairs at Wash
ington and Montgomery
Streets.

When took my station at the corner
of Washington aud Montgomery streets
at exactly quarter to six o'clock there
were eight people waiting there. Sub
sequeutly l learned that these people
were waiting for car that would convey
them up Grand street. At eleven min
ntes TO six O'Clock the first car arrived.
1t was one of the large double
truck Bull cars aud was crowded
almost 10 suffocatIou. The rear
platform was crowded as well as the in :
terror. Standing on the coupling rod
and wooden frame. which is supposed to
sweep distractions from the track, and
hanging on to the dashboard rail were
three men. To crowd another passenger
on the car was an impossibility. and the
people waiting on the sidewalk had to
give up hope Of ever reaching their des-
tinatien by that car. At four minutes
past six O'Clock the next car arrived.
This was one Of the small old Broad
way cars, and it was as badly
crowded as the Que which preceded
II. Two men were standing on the
coupling rod. This car also sped bv the
waiting people. Six minutes iaJsr another
small car arrived. IL had as many prs-
sengers aboard as the other Two. The
car which followed it turned the corner
&.
was also small car and WAS PACKED to
the doors.
THE WAITING CROWD INCREASES.
The numher OF people waiting Tor
Grand street cars had by this time iu-
creased to ten, and many were the uu-
complimentary opinions they gave of the
Consolidated Traction Compauy's new
schedule. Thirteen minutes later another
old Broadw way car hove in sight. IL was
crowded like the rest. with the exception
that no one was Standing on the step.
Ihls available space was soon aDppo-
priated, however, by two of the msn who
had bsen Visiting nearly half hour
while third man jumped on to the
coupling bar. This reduced the waiting
party to seven people. Only two min
utes elapsed before che nexG ctrarrived.
This car was more crowded thau any Of
the others, an the remaining number of
the waiting party had to let 1t pass by,
Two minutes later the next car came.
ALI the seats were occupied aud no pas
sepgers were standing. This car stopped
waited so long ON the corner
were taken aboard. At twenty
eight minutes past six another Car ar
rived. This and the one which followed
Two minutes later had as many passeng-
ers aboard as could be jammed into them.
Theu eight minutes elapsed before an
other Car came. It was another small
car, and was also crowded to the rear
dashboard. The next car arrived five
minutes later, which was followed four
later by another. Neither of
these could hava accom- modated another
passenger After n lapse of three more
one of the large cars arrived
and this was only partially flied with
passengers.

REAL CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
oyererowded Cars Run at Ir-
regular Intervals in the
Busy Hours.
MORE VEHICLES NECESSARY.
Passengers Forced TO Wait at the
Down Town Crossings for lnde-
finite Spaces of Time.

Vice President David Young of the
Consolidated Traction Company will
have to provide better service on the
Greenville line before the travelling pub
lie will be satisfied. Matters are not as
they should ne. and the people who have
to travel on the road are incensed at the
condition of affairs. Reporters of THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS last evening took OBJ
servatiou of the condition of aft airs at
several points. What they noticed is set
for below.
The cars do not run o n regular head
way. That is evident. The cars ges so
crowded at the ferry that along the line
passengers have to wait as long as
half hour to get an opport unity to hang
on.
Superintendent Sayres says the COM
pany has not a sufficient number OF cars
THIS Is a poor excuss. All fn ali, the
passengers have sufficient grounds for
complaint. hut we have no doubt Vice
President Young will use all the means
In his power to give good service.
The people of Greenviile are loud in
their praise of The NEWS for taking I'D
this matter. One old gentleman called
In the Office this morning and said:-

When to Advertise.

There is no more profitable season
for newspaper advertising than during
general business depression, when
panicky feeling exists and the great
mass of people feel to economic in
every possible way, prints an ex-
change. When such condition exists
the bargain announcements of the
merchants are unusually attractive
and many man or woman who ordI-
narily trades with some personal
friend, or at store little more con-
venient than others, will walk several
blocks to save dime or a nickel.
The merchant, too, owing to dull
trade, makes additional efforts to tide
over the stringency, and the bargains
he offers the public are real and desir-
able. He must have money to meet
his expenses, and first cost of wares
is not the most important consider
alton.
During the dull seasons the general
public has more time to read the
newspapers, and SO the publisher can
offer the advertiser an increased cir
culation, and consequently more for
his money, just as the advertiser OF
/ fers the public increased values in ex-
change for the much needed cash, SO
there is mutual advantage to the
i people, the merchant, and the pub
/ Usher.
