Average Gothamite To a Lash Driven
slave-Be Bossy.
"That the average New Yorker Is q
lash-driven slave was never more for
chilly brought to my attention than the
other night at Coney Island" said
Carstairs. when a man lives in the
great and only town for few years
he becomes SO accustomed to being
bossed around by street car conduct
ors, t. guards. policemen, janitors,
and everybody else that the only way
to get him to do anything Is to howl
at him.
"As for the illustrations: went down
to Coney with friend Of mind who
knows New Workers like a book. As
we got aboard the train at the bridge
there was a crowd, of course, and it
seemed impossible for us to get
through and aboard the cars. l asked
two or three burly members of the
community who blocked our passage
particularly II they would not stand
aside and let us get a. chance at the
cars, but they gave me the merry guf-
faw and pushed me back a little far
ther. Here's where my friends knowl-
edge of New Workers came in handy.
He is small man who could not stand
much show in fight, but he has
carrying and rasping voice. Standing
behind this bunch Of bruisers he shout
ed:
"'Ho, there. git out of the way; git
out quick
"You ought to have seen the effect
The group melted away as though
grape shot had been hurled into their
midst, without looking around to see
who had given the order. We got the
best seats in the car.
ION arriving at Coney Island we
started in to take in Luna Park. The
ed no chance of getting our tickets for
an hour. But here again my friend
came to the rescue. He put his hand
on the shoulder of the man nearest US
and shouted:
Here, you, move on, now! What
dye mean by blocking up this pas
sage? Git, now; git, tell you, or
yOu IL Dc SOITy!
"The man sank trembling to the
rear, and others who heard my friends
demand faded away and made a long
lane for us to pass through up to the
| ticket window. There the man SELL
ing admissions was inclined to pay no
| attention to us, as he had a hundred
or more clamoring with money in their
hands, but my friend gave him look
and yelled:
"Look here, you, l want to s::ve
you tip. I've been watching you for
a week now, and won't stand any
more o. this business. Understand
The man in the window looked scared
to death. Probably he had not been
doing anything out of the way, but he
had the regular New York guilty con-
science, and Immediately handed out
two tickets and forgot to take our
money.

fair damsel whisper to her escort:

Married UnawAres.

An astonishing story Of involuntary
marriage is brought to England by the
steamer Anversville, which has just
arrived from the Congo.
The Belgian officials declare the in
cessant risings in the Congo Free State
to be due to the missionaries, and they
are alleged to lose no opportunity of
making things uncomfortable for these
self-sacrificing evangelists.
Sites for new mission buildings are
refused. natives are forbidden to sell
food to the missionaries, an exorbi-

was no sign of robbery at the house
where the child was killed and the
woman mortally injured, the two men
had been robbed and when found
their pockets has been turned inside
