r. OF in a store but on the street
ri | corner" So reads the advertise
ment of book store in the heart
hfSfs of New York City.
- The owner of this store, who
finds it profitable to spend 800 a week cx-
plotting a business that is conducted from
shelves, built along a stone retaining wall.
is one of a hundred thousand street cor
in the United States whose combined prop
critics represent an invested capital of
something like S10,00O,OO0.
These figures do not include such petty
traffickers as pushcart and wagon pedlers,
fakirs of all kinds, and the army of men,
women and children who do business on
the streets for a part of the day. Nor do
they take note of professional men or
brokers or others whose offices are in their
hats. They deal exclusively with those
men who, year in and year out can be
found all day long behind their fixed
stands, ready to serve all customers as
regularly and Systematically as the more
prctentious merchants under roofs. Under
this head come fruit and flower men, boot
blacks and news stand keepers, express and
and lunch wagons
New York is the fertile field of these
men. In that city 32,S51 of them run Is, 233
stands, which represent an investment of
nearly $90OO,0OO. Chicago comes next with,
i'll round numbers, 10000 men engaged and
a capital of $2,OOOOOO. Philadelphia is third
with 1900 men and 81, 100000, while in the
other cities the figures are as follows:

order to transact business The sum OF
$434,7OO represents the money invested in
expresses in New York City; and, as each
express requires two men, 2,S98 men are
employed
The number of public carts, which do
moving and odd jobs in the residential and
retail portions of the city, is 1925. AS an
average equipment costs $500. the capital
invested is $2O25, 200, and as here again two
men are required for each cart, 20,252 are
employed. In fact, nearly every street
corner business demands the time of two
persons, and all figures showing the num-
ber of men employed are on this bass,
with one exception.
News and periodical stands number 477.
The cost of constructing a stand is $50 the
average daily stock is SIS, the capital in
vested is s21465 and the persons employed
are 954.
There are 1,2n fruit stands, representing
S95 32J, for stand costs $50 to build and
displays $50 worth of stock.
OF the 500 flower stands in the metropolis
the average stock amounts to 500 and the
stand itself to $50, for it must be better
built than newsstand i'm order to protect
the flowers. Seventy-five thousand dollars
is invested in these stanus and their wares
which are looked after by 1000 men.
The bootblack stands also represent a
generous outlay. The customary stand has

is situated, and ask the people there about

Saisbury--of the real Lord Salisbury of
whom the world never dreams.
The great statesman might forget one
of his own ministers, but ne never fails 10
recognize the country people who live
round his stately home at Hatfield. He
knows them all, from the Oldest grand
father TO the youngest child, and he takes
the keenest interest in their humble lives.
He may be cold and distant to 4 foreign
prince OF doubtful character or 4 new peer
of the realm, who has made his money
out of beer and bought Coronet with
his spare cash, but he never holds aIoot

field.

place as a boy In July, 1891, he saw Lo-d

ing the new rich" and the smart set"
Many of his supporters in the House of
Lords and the House of Commons were bit
terly incensed because he Ialled to recog-
nize them in the street or the club, although
they had been introduced 10 him and had
spoken to him frequently. Not only is
Lord Salisbury near-sighted and absent
minded but he has bad memory for faces
"a rare defect in public man. 1t is said
that he once asked Mr.. Balfour, when visit
ing the House OF Commons, "Who is that
man who spoke so intelligently just now?"
That man was Mr.. Walter Long, the minis
ter of agriculture, a member OF Lord Sails
bury's own cabinet.
This absence of mind is partly assumed
in order to ward of intrusive intimacies.
Similarly. Lord Salisbury's apparent cynic-
ism and hauteur are only a mask covering
his real nature Go to Hatfield, in Hert-

Ten years afterwards, on revisiting Hat

cording to the number of chairs.
In fact, the street corner businesses are
80 remunerauve, despite the high rentals
for stand space-property owners often
charging as much as SIS n month-that tho
syndicate idea has crept in. This is es
pecially true as regards the expresses and
public carts. A New York Irishman. who
started in carting with a second-class outfit
ten years ago, now controls 500 stands, and
is gradually absorbing his immediate com
petitors. He has over 100000 invested in
carts horses and harness.
He early saw the advantages of combina-
tion. and whenever he could get the money
he bought up a cart here and a cart there.
His policy has been TO employ the men he
buys out at good wages, and thus keep
them from starting new stands in opposi-
tion. He will not say what income he
draws from the business, but 1t is enough
to provide him with an expensive suburban
home for his family, with horses and car
riages. and to keep his sons and daughters
at college.
While the carriage business is drifting
into the hands OF fow Irishmen, the fruit
stands of New York are being consoli-
dated by a company of Greeks, who are
credited with controlling nearly half Of the
i,21 stands.
The head Of the syndicate has been In
America less than n decade. He began his
new world career by peddllng bananas from
a pushcart. After that he secured employ
ment with a fellow countryman as helper
around a fruit stand. He saved his money.
and, when he had enough, started in busi-
ness at a little stand on a side street He
prospered and bought a stand on n buster
thoroughfare. After he had been running
the two places for a year or more II oc-
Cured to him that it wouldn't be bad
idea to own many stores provided he could
get the money. He got 1t by forming a
partnership with banker OF the Greek
colony, and today these men and n third,
who was taken in later on, are rapidly
acquirink comfortable fortunes. They con-
troll the majority of the stands along the
ing propositions.
What is true in New York Is true, in
large measure of other cities, so that the
Bootblack trust, in the hands of Italians,
is no longer without company among the
street corner businesses.
1t is a peculiar fact that barring the
express, carriage and news stands all other
stands are pretty generally controlled by
the better class of Greeks and Italians
The Greeks have IT all their own way with
fruit; they divide the honors with the Ital-
ians with the flowers while the latter have
no opposition at the bootblack stands, ex-
c"pt from an occasional negro. Express
men, as well as carriers, are still largely OF
Irish extra ction, and the news stand People
are usually of the same persuasion.

companying bases, at $50 each. Conse-
quently, $l92, 75O Is invested in 1,235 stands.
AS a bootblack is necessary for every chair,
3,S55 find work.
The outdoor restaurants, usually in lill-
putian booths built along store walls num-
ber fifty. Each booth costs 500 and is
stocked with 500 worth of eatables, giving
a total capital of $4,000 directed by 100 men.
Miscellaneous stands-soft drinks, candies,
etc.-number seventy-five, with an average
stand cost of $25 and an average stock to
the same amount. The investment Is $3.50,
and $50 men are employed.
All told. the approximate investment in
New York's street corner business is $2,
$3.50
The enormous outlay of $10.4 900 in the
cities named-of which New Eorks share
Is about one-fourth the entire amount-is
justified by the returns. 1t Is no uncom-
mon thing for many stand to do a daily
business running into several hundreds of
dollars. The customers OF n bookstand in
New York City, on one OF the suburban
ferry streets, keep five men busy the
greater part Of the day good fruitstand
not infrequently clears $40 day to its
owner; flower stand is reckOned on not to

counts of his career which were published
when he resigned the premiership read for
all the world like obituary notices, and are
remembered as such.
Lord Salisbury has always stunned
notoriety, and now that he has retired from
politics he is more than ever reticent about
his private life. Few people know how he
is spending the evening of a life devoted to
the service of his monarch and his country
In politics the late premier was regarded
