"NOT GOOD If DETACHED"
AN UNTRUTHFUL INSCRIPTION ON THE
BRIDGE RAILROAD TICKETS.
MINOR AFFAIR IN BRIDGE MANAGEMENT
WHICH is POINTER FOR MORE

A MINOR AFFAIR IN BRIDGE MANAGEMENT
WHICH is POINTER FOR MORE
SERIOUS MATTERS.
A man who bought a brace of Bridge railroad
tickets for five cents the other day was seen 10
hand the two in the condition in which he received
them to the ticke-chopper so that the oHciai
might detach one OF them and cast II into the box
1t is possible that this thing happens several times
day at each terminus of the Bridge. but one OBJ
server az least had never seen II before. Yet the
purchaser OF the tickets was simply obeying In
structions on each of the two tickets OF which ne
had just become seized and possessed was the I'M
compromising inscription, Not good II detached.
II is strange that such legend should be puz-
zling to the wayfarer unfamiliar with the usages OF
the city
For all practical purposes the same inscription
might as well be placed on the single tickets sold
for three cents apiece by the Bridge authorities
Literally construed one-half of the two-for-hVe
tickets are absolutely worthless, FOR OF necessity
the second ticket must be detached AFTER the hrst
is torn off. Whatever reason there may nave oeeh
for making this condition when coupon tickets were
first issued on the Bridge. there is no reason what
ever at present. and especially In the case OF
tickets sold in pairs.
The idea borrowed from the Union reri9
Company which years ago sold packages Oh shsie
tickets that were used many times over ABOUT
twenty years ago the company found that 1t was
who purchased packages OF seventeen tickets FOR

getting in line at the ferry-house ana at the Same
time helping the little fellows along ,, .
To nut a stop to this practice which is sald 70
bave made n big hole in the ferry treasury, coupon
tickets issued. each one having engraved on
II the statement that II was good only II deIacheu
in the presence Of the ferry master. Many Brook
lynites will recall how for several months they
regularly tore off their tickets In the presence or
Perry official OF course this put stop to the
speculation in tickets by small boys but three Or

When the Bridge railroad was opened part OF
the ferry company's idea was borrowed ana IL was
adhered TO even after II determined 10 issue
two tickets for a nickel The absurdty OF the In.
scription mot good II detached is so evident tnat
a change would seem to be demanded IN the inter :
est of truth and veracty The legend shGud AT
least be dropped in the OF the tenth TICKET IN
a package and from all those sold at the rate OF
two for five cents while as matter OF Iact all te
tickets are worth their face value, whether de-
tached or not.

Justice Hartman after warning the girl against

The Crop Bulletin.

The conditions during the past week
have, except in a few localities been
favorable. for harvest, which now &C.
cupies the attention Of farmers
throughout a greater portion Of the
state, there being few sections where
wheat has ripened very slowly, owing
to cool weather and an excess Of rain.
Early sown grain has been about all
cut and considerable has been stacked!
As general rule the yield Of early
wheat will be about up to fair aver
age as to yield, but much of the grain
is Of inferior quality, owing to the
past period Of drought during the
growth Of the plant, and the hot sun
caused it to ripen previous to mathr-
ity. Some few reports indicate the
quality as being very good. A few
fields of late sown wheat have not
yet ripened, and where cutting Of
early wheat has been finished the time
is now occupied by fall blowing and
finishing up of haymaking, which was
temporarily laid by. Threshing from
stack and shock is being done in q
few sections. Harvest Of other grain
still in progress, and yield generally
reported as fair. Millet will be very
good crop this season. Corn is grow
ing well, and with an absence of frost
the prospects point to q good yield.
Light frost occurred on the nights of
the 18th and 18th, which caused slight
damage to vine sand garden truck, but
corn and potatoes were not injured.
The yield and quality of potatoes
promises to be very good.
