TROLLEY TRANSIT AS IT IS.
The Story of Rldete Bayonne That
Never Was Completed.

Last evening a gentleman and lady,
residents of this city. started to ride to
the Bayonne shore front by trolley. They
took the cars at the Junction They had
to let one car go by, because it was over
crowded The next car was just CONF
fortabiy filed, and they got on it.
When they paid their fares, the con-
dueter handed them green tickets, saying
they would have TO change cars al the
car stable.
When they reached the car stable, there
were already large number of persons
waiting for a through car. Everyone on
this car wanted to go forward. The
gentleman was struck with the gathering,
and counted noses out of mere curiosity.
There were twenty-e.ght people waiting.
1t was exactly S.45 O'Clock.
The next car came along was crowded
to the dashboard. Nevertheless, ten
people, two women. the rest men,
squeezed into it, leaving eighteen wait
ing.
The next car did not go through. It
was sent into the stable. 1t added about
five people to the waiting crowd
From this time on every alternate car
was sent into the stable; the others went
on to Bayonne. The through cars arrived
al the stable crowded. In some cases
only one or two people crowded into
them. In some cases eight or ten man
aged to get foothold
The gentleman and lady waited until
s12, twenty-seven minutes in ALL In that
time not one car went Through on which
there was seat vacant Such ladies as
got on were forced to stand between the
seats while the men rode on the run
board
During these twenty-seven minutes
eight through cars and the same number
of short trip ones came along. The wait
ing crowd once fell as low as nine per-
sons. 1t was twice as high as twenty
seven. 1t averaged about sixteen.
At 9.12. the lady and gentleman got
tired waiting and as they were out on
a pleasure trip, they gave it up and
took car home. The cars to Bayonne
were stiM coming up as crowded as ever.
They left ten people behind them, wait
ing In the crowd were two couples who
had waited as long as they. including one
lady with a baby. They lived in Bay
onne, they said, and were obliged to
wait until they could get on a ear, no
matter how long it took.
The mother had to stand with her
baby in her arms as there is no waiting
room at this place.
The gentleman, whose experience is
here told, interviewed the official in
charge of the office. The official was
cool but quite polite
The gentleman asked at s.5s, when about
twenty-five people were. waiting. ii there
was no likelihood of anything being done
to relieve the situation
mo. sir" said the official; .sthe SUPER
intendent has just gone home. He gave
no orders, 50 nothing can be done
Does this sort of deadlock happen
every night?" was asked
No. sir, not on wet or cold nights,
was the naive reply

OF the Journey in both cases nothing
need be said except this: Mamie came
near wishing there could be a coils
Ion, with her death as one Of the conse-
Quences. Mr.. Ferguson's veneer Of re.
flnement was cast ruthlessly aside be-
tween London and Windermere. She
was by no means the conventionally
happy wife on her wedding day when
she was invited to leave the train for
the luxurious carriage that was await.
ing them.
But ut the hotel, much to the mana.
gers chagrin, a dramatic scene had
been arranged for them.
The millionaire's face was wreathcd
In smiles rs he handed Mamie across
the hotel threshold.
AT lastw he exclaimed.
The next moment he started and
swore. A woman and boy approach
ed him In the vestibule.
"Donaldw said the former, and the
boy exclaimed: "Fatherv
Tho woman's eyes were tear.staincd
and reproachful. They did not look at
Mamie, however.
"This IL a plot. Who IL in III" then
cried the millionaire. He glanced at
Mamie. whose agitation was unmis.
taxable. "You don't believe this non.
sense, my dear"
But Mamie only looked at the boy;
that sufi1ced.
I'm in II, Donald Ferguson, at your
SERVICE" then said Mr.. Porter, hand
Ing the millionaire his card. "Turther.
more, have to place you under ar.
rest"
Ralph also stepped forward, trem.
bling, with eyes for Mamie and no
one else.
"Niainic," he murmured, shall l
take you homer
But for answer the bride who was no
bride could only stnmmcr, "Oh,
Ralph" and faint into his arms.
When she recovered her senses Mr..
Ferguson was out Of Westmoreland
and she was being excellently cared
for by a sympathetic domestic.
The next morning Mrs. Wrottesley
appeared on the scene In prodlgioua
rnge. Nor was her rage much nbated
by the esignation-even bright rcslg.
nation-of Mamie under this terrible
blow.
A for Ralph, he had hurried back tc
town in the night and was changed
man at tho Office the next day.
After the formal dissolution Of the
marriage that was no marriage, even
Mrs. Wrottesley thought her daughter
might as well marry Ralph.
And neither Ralph nor Mamie cared
for the slight slur that the Ferguson
affair had cast upon the latter NJ q
candidate for husband.-Scottlsl

lSnaai0n 0f Labor.

vasari says of the manner In which
the great master Of sculpture worked:
Il have seen Michael Angelo mako
moro chips Of marble fly about In q
quarter Of an hour thnn three Of tho
strongest young sculptors would in a.
many hours, thing almost Incredible
to anyone who has not witnessed Il.
Hc went to work with such impetuosity
and fury Of manner that feared al.
most every minute to sec the block split
In pieces. It seemed rs II, intiamcd by
tho grcat Idea that inspired him. this
great man attacked with a species Of
fury the marble In which his statue lay
concealed"
One instance Of such frenzy Of labor
came when Michael Angelo was .. boy
but fourteen years old. He had carved
q faun, one of those strange woodland
creatures, half goat, half man. Of which
tho Romans were SO fond, with fresh
faces, tossing hair. sprouting horns
and goats legs. Lorenzo de Medici
saw the work, and was amazed at its
delicacy and the richness Of fancy dis.
played; but he began bantering the
young sculptor In the easy, gracious
fashion Of q great prince.
Look you." said he. "thcse wonder.
full monsters are not always young. %
you would have It; they get wrinklcd
brows. they are unsteady on their legs.
they losc their teeth"
He indicated, as he spoke, the beauu
full row Of teeth which adorned the
smiling lips Of the creature, and passed
on. Then occurred a scene full Of pas.
sion and pathos. and eminently charac'
teristic Of Michael Angelo. As the cur
tains closed upon the prince, the young
sculptor Jew upon his faun. mallet In
hand. Round about tho Jaw and brow
he made telltale lines. He puckered
the eyes with crows feet. and last Of
all, no placed his chisel against the
creatures upper jaw. and smote tooth
away, by that one act giving the face
nm indescrlbablc look Of age.
Lorenzo was amazed at the marvel
Gus transformation. 1t was IN effcc'
tive Introduction to tho power Of the
young artist, and he took him into hil
household and brought him up with bill
