HANDLING GREAT CROWDS.



As 1t Is Seen AN Excursion Pier a
Hot Day.
Next to the patience and long suffer
ing of mankind there is something
marvellous in the brutality with which
great crowds are handled everywhere.
/ don't remember who originally for
INFLATED the expressive phrase. ia
miliarity breeds contempt" but he
must have had in view some off cial or
sub-official who is in daily contact with
the people. For it is characteristic
of men occupying such positions,
speaking generally, to conspicuously
exhibit their contempt for the public.
This is not an inherent quality. but
comes of constant friction with the
human atoms that go to make up mis-
cellaneOus crowds. 1t is the same in
private as in public affairs, in indi-
vidual as well as corporate manage
ment Perhaps men who must answer
hundreds of simple inquiries every day,
and every hour in the day, year in
and year out. may be excused
the want of graceful speech and polite
ma nners; and perhaps it is too much
TO ask of the man who is showed and
hustled and irritated by great crowds
all his working hours that he shall be
gentlemanly and considerable of voice
and touch. AT any rate, such men are
remarkably exceptional
If you would see this contempt car
ried to its highest perfection go down
to the docks where excursion crowds
are handled. Watch the men, women
and children driven this way and that.
and listen to the language and tone Of
those who drive them. Try the Coney
Island boats on some holiday, when
the crowd is greatest You win have
to live a long time and travel far to
find more conspicuous brutality. A
column might be written of the dis
gushing scenes enacted at Pier No.
almost any hot day. But only in lesser
degree the same characteristics may
be observed everywhere. 1t is only
quite recently that some of the leading
trunk lines of railway have made po-
likeness and courtesy to the public OF

their officials, from lowest TO the high.

A CHICAGO MAN sQuELCHED.
Suppression of Nuisance In the Smoking
Room of AN Ocean Liner.

-
Room of an Ocean Liner
1t was in the smoking room of
transatlantic liner bound for New
York. A Chicago musician. well
known in his native city and the west,
was of the number The smoking
room W as crowded, for it was blowing
great guns and the ship was pitching
badly. so that walking was not good.
Nearly all were seasick, Probably
the worst of the lot was a New York
lawyer, who was lying silent and suf-
fering.
Chicago's champion was loud tallzer
as well as good one. lie had secured
the floor very frequently that after
noon. OF course, whenever possible,
he had tucked in an argument for
Chicago's greatness. The hearers be-
came surfeited. 1t was Che-eaw-ger,
Che-caw-ger. Che-caw-ger. Finally
eastern politeness was exhausted. and
no one answered his last sally. AT this
he seemed to suddenly become aware
that he had overdone the job, and, as
if to cover his retreat, he sought shell
ter by abruptly changing his subject
of conversation and inquiring:
II wonder what land we will see
first?"
At this the seasick New York law
yer, who had been silently and for a
long time taking it all in from far
corner, raised his head and slowly
growled:
IF Chicago is half as big as she
thinks she is we shall see Chicago
first"
The effort was vociferously applaud
ed. 1t brought down the ship, and
was an extinguisher for the westerner,
who was not heard to mention Chi
cago again during the rest of the trip.
