Ferries Taxed to Their utEost.

Extra arrangements we're made at
tho beaches and other summon resorts
to handle large crowds of people yes

an unusually large number OF visitors
without accident, as did also the
steam and trolley lines. Proprietors
of hotels and amusement enterprises
are looking forward eagerly to the
timo when a new ferry service will
be in operation. 1t Is predicted that

The constant criticism of the Staten
Island ferry boats has, it is argued,
made people afraid to venture Oh
them, but If now and safe boats are
the delightful sail across the

peeping around it passed them and on
looking back, they saw him make a
rush for their front door aud peep
through the glass, which is covered
by lace. He peeped first through one
glass and then the other. With that
tho gentleman grabbed him and asked
linn what he was doing there. He
vas a German and appeared stupid.
but snid he was looking for n drug
store. The gentleman told him he
would show him a drug store and
took him to Parisen's and letting go
of him, saw that he simply looked
through the window and was not IN
clined to enter. Whom he asked him
why he did not go In, he said he was
waiting for the other fellow to come.
Ho was taken back to the house and
was given in charge of Chief Me-
Donnell, who said the st upid actions

and found n bottle of medicine in his

to get into the back door of the house
referred to in the preceding and that
one of them had been caught. AS
there is q DOCTORS day office III tho
Building, they may havo been looking

that the man got off of tho s o'clock

be that no was going to engage the
mother in conversation at tho front
door while his companion, if the 70

man was not caught doing anything
but peeping and seemed SO stupid.
