An Innocent Abroad.
A well-dressed, quiet-looking man, who
plainly was not aware of the fact that
tickets are not sold six for a quarter or
at any other figure by New York street
railway lines as they are back in the
city whence he came for a visit to Man
noon and said. Tickets, please"
The conductor projected his chin for
ward and gazed at the stranger in the
city with a hard, cold eye
Tickets fur wot?' he inquired. DE
ball game, 'Sapho' or de races?"
Then he handed the embarrassed citi-
zen four nickels and went out on the
platform and pointed the ''Rube" out to
the grinning Willie-boys who were anus
ing themselves blowing smoke wreaths in
to Women's faces as they entered or got
off the car.
After being crushed and ridiculed for
a couple of days by New York street rail-
way conductors the provincial is liable
to long for great wealth in order that he
might return to the capital city and pre-
sent each car conductor there with
house and lot
Tonsori ii st lde1ts.
a school for BARRIERS has been started
down near Blocker street. 1t is a saw
age, sangulnary plant 1t doesn't, cost
anything to get shave there, and the
| place is packed constantly by lodging
house ffoaters whose days are so dark
and dreary that they do not appear to
! care whether they live or die The bar
! bers in embryo are mostly young Ital-
ians who polish shoes for a living and
. hl .aS.hA ,.fe- l.
! all in all, the writer could not see, after
! watching the plant in operation for a
! while, that their shines greatly differed
! from their shaVes-in the general meth
/ cd of attack, that is. The graduate Ital-
| ian BARRIERS who remove hair from the
! human countenance at the moderate
! charge of cents are waxing very fero-
! ciCus over this school for BARRIERS, stat
/ ing that it is running their business. Still
/ it would seem that there really cannot
| be any great difference between a 2-cent
shave and a shave for nothing. Many of
! the high-grade BARRIERS over here are
! Italians. They are a somewhat garru-
/ spirit. An acquaintance of the writer
! was the recipient of a shave at the deft
hands of one of them the other day.
'Whata you tinka da Crotona striker
! the barber inquired, with swift down
/ ward stroke of the razor.
Il think it's all right-bully for them
| Der got. The writer's acquaintance didn
/ think or hope any such thing, but that
barber appeared to understand the hand
ling of his razor pretty well.
An Anticipated Arch.
Quite the most disreputable sight in
New York just now is the naval arch. 1t
/ wasn't meant to stand all this time being
an affair of the papier-maChe order, but
it still looms up, grimy, broken, decayed
and genuine menace to paSserS-by and
the buildings around it. The owners OF
the buildings are entreating the city
government
there is hitch somewhere, and there ii
still stands, the figures minus their noses
or feet or arms, and small boys choppine
away hunks of ii at Will, without any in
reference on the part of the police. II
seems incredible that thing of such
original beauty could have so sadly de-
teriorated in so short space of time
incredible, that is, to those who did not
have the gloomy experience of looking
upon the buildings of the white city q
few months, after the Worlds Fair al
tating the permanent naval arch over
here, and organizing entertainments thai
never seem to come off for the thing, but
the million dollars that the New Workers
were going to raise Immediately for the
permanent arch is a good deal more
thing to jest upon now than that Sl0O,0
Philadelphia convention fund. New York
goes up and comes down like q rocket
in it's great public subscriptions. Had
lean Minister to France jumped into the
| breach, to the entire neglect of his own
business, and almost forced the money
out of the rich New Workers pockets
| there would never have been any Grant
mausoleum.
