CHEAP CABS FOR THE NEW YORK
ERS.
(W. E. Curtis In Chicago Record. }

CIV. E. Curtis In Chicago Record.)
Some time ago the Pennsylvania Rail
road company established line OF cabs
and carriages from It's new ferry house at
the foot of West 23d street for the con-
venience of its patrons, and recently the
New York Central people followed the
example, so that travellers from these two
roads can now get to land from their no.
tells and residences for reasonable rates
of fare. 1t has always cost more to ride
in hired carriage in New York than in
any other city in the world, and although
there have been several attempts to main
tain cheap cab system they have always
failed. / But the railroads are not running
their cabs as a speculation, but for the
convenience of their patrons. II thew
manage to pay expenses they will be sat-
isfed, and although the innovation is
popular and we'll patronized I am told
that they are both losing money-from
$50 to 500 day-and will be compelled
to raise their rates If they come out even.
They charge 20 cents for one passenger
within a mile limit, and 40 cents for two
persons in hanson and 20 and 60 cents
in four-wheel cab. If the carriages are
sent for to take passengers from a resi-
dence or a hotel to the station the charges
are 20 cents additional Within two-nile
limit the charges are IS cents for one per-
son, and 60 cents for two in hanson.
and 60 and so cents in a four-wheeler,
and SO on up to fve-mile limit, where
the charges are 81 and $780, Hitherto it
has cost 81. 30 to go anywhere, and S25O
from the residence portions of the city
to most of the railway stations. 1t costs
an average of SIS month to run one
horse cab in the city of New York, not
including insurance, repairs or interest
upon the investment. Therefore every
one of these cabs must bring in So. so a
day to pay the first expenses. Any cab
| man in London or Paris would consider
himself at the height of prosperity If he
oouldsear that much. In London hired
drivers receive less than dollar a day.
In New York So is considered small wages
for days work. In London many of
the cabmen own their horses and rent
their cabs at SO much week. Others
rent the whole outfit. In New York the
street cabs are nearly all owned by COM
panies which hire The drivers, and have
no check upon their honesty.

attendant approaches, but his majesty
scorns to be helped into the waiter and
making run and a jump Is in a moment
up to his neck in the sea. After a few
preliminary skirimishes with the heavy
pillows which break incessantly ON the
beach the King, with the assistance of
his attendants, gains deeper water and
begins to swim, diving through the
waves with the greatest zest and enjoy
ment. He Is not allowed to remain in
the water any great length of time. how
ever, and at signal from his mother,
who with the infantas, watches from the
steps of the bath house, the attendants
begin to help him back; but Alfonzo fire.
quently breaks from the men S grasp to
dive again through an incoming wave,
and he seems most relunctant to leave
the water.
Altogether more genuinely boyish and
entertaining scene than this morning
gambol in the sea by the king OF Spain
could probably not be witnessed. When
running down the slope to the bathing
house one morning in August last he
slipped and stumbled on to his knees.
An attendant. rushed forward, but the
king was on his feet in a moment with
u laugh and continued his run with
undated speed.
His subjects appear to like him best
in this mood, and it is amusing to note
how the kings morning sailor costume lie
copied by all the boys of similar age
staying at San Sebastian. There Is, how.
ever, a singular difference, for all the
young would-be sailors of inferior rank
to Alfonzo XIII, wear hats with an Eng
lish ribbon bearing the legend ,s''H. M.
5. Terrible - "H. M. S. Alert etc.
AT other times during the day the roy
al carriage, with the same four occu
pants, may be seen driving swiftly
through the streets. All vehicles are
