CONEY ISLAND RIOTS
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Puts
 Thousands Of Its Cars
REFUSE TO PAY EXTRA NICKEL.
Company Ignores Gaynor's Decision That Second Fare h Illegal-Bru- tality Unchecked by Police.
 Cars Blocked For Miles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-One woman may die from her injuries, scores were hurt and mistreated and over 100000 persons were put to discomfort or in danger of their lives when the Brook lyn Rapid Transit and the Coney Is- land and Brooklyn Railway companies refused to accept Justice Gaynor opin- ion that they had no right to collect a second fare from Manhattan to Coney Island. Many passengers and two i'm portant officials of the company were arrested, one of the latter twice. Four inspectors of the company were also arrested.
 The police failed miserably in han ding the crowd, and not until Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe took personal command did they try to protect the public or put any stop to the rufianism rampant all day.
 The railroad sought to block Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe in his efforts to get the cars running, and not until Dow F. Smith, general superintendent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit con- pany, had been arrested and H. .. Davis, superintendent of the Culver division, had been arrested twice did 1 the road pretend to obey the orders Of the police. Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe forced Davis to resume run ming cars after the officials of the road had ordered the motormen away from them. At that time 600 cars were blocked, making line two miles long. ! The police took charge of the sema- phores and other signals. and every l car after 10:30 a. m. left Coney Island with a policeman on board to force him to run through and to keep him from deserting the car.
 | Commissioner O'Keeffe went away shortly before midnight, when he thought things were running smooth ly once more. Scarcely was he out of sight when the railroad started dump
 ing passengers into the street again.
 They chose a new dumping ground
 this time. Instead of at Kensington,
 passengers were elected at Sixteenth
 avenue, three blocks farther up the
 line.
 By 2 o'clock the demoralization was
 worse than ever. The Brooklyn Rapid
 Transit inspectors, who had been ar
 rested, were all out on bail and talk
 ing their vengeance on the passengers.
 Cases of unprovoked brutality occurred
 too often to be recorded. At o'clock
 all trolley cars on the Culver line were
 stopped, although thousands of persons
 many of them women and children
 were still at the island seeking to find
 some way to get home.
 The Culver line, into which half 6
 dozen different lines converge. was tho one most affected, but rioting occurred
 also on the Smith street line of the Coney Island and Brooklyn railway
 where, among others, an old blind mar was literally thrown out head first, al though he declared that he had paid , his fare. He got no sympathy, how ] ever, either from the special or city . police, who found the incident anus ing. l After day of almost indescribabl' . turmoil. of acts of brutality by railroad , men. aided and abetted by the police 5 close on to three-quarters of million ! of persons had been affected.

 The afternoon sun sank until w seemed to rest on the tops of the weee- ern forest like broad gold piece poiseo delicately. And the walking boss, arie- ing from a log beside his cutter where he had sat for an hour following tne rout, climbed up to the seat.

 As his half-galloping ponies swun8 around bend of the forest road. they suddenly arose upon their hind iess with wild pawings at the air. Less than a dozen yards in front of them and iy- ing fat upon his back on the Ice. was inc first of the fallen that White Horse had feared would litter the homeward route.
 The legs of the lumber-jack kicked spasmodically and White Horse, short- eniue his reins, leaped to the ice. "Can't leave you here to freeze up solid." hs erunted as he dumped the limp form headlong into the sleigh box behind. ..But I'll make you pay for this ride to- morrow"
 At the next turn of the road the first oath that had escaped his lips that day burst from him explosively.

Dress Allowances % royalty.

People sometimes wonder what sum
is put aside for dress by the daugh.
ters Of royal houses. Before her mar.
riages read the other day, the duchess
Of Fife was said to have q small dress
allowance. ana the sum Of $500 q
year was mentioned. Besides yachting
and every day dresses, and all the usu-
al costumes required by girl OF the
upper class, royal princesses have also
to wear the costly and elaborate
dresses which their rank demands at
the weddings Of their near relations.
On the whole, 1t may be asserted
that frugal princess may spend "a
little as 5000 year on her dress,
while her more wealthy and extrava.
CANT sister may dnd her dress bills
amount to ten times that sum. The
empress OF Russia, who more than any
other European lady Is able to indulge
her widest fancies, dresses with the
greatest simpIicity--in the daytime
mostly I'm tailor made coats and skirts,
In the evening generally In the purest
whIfa--Tattler.

The Puritan element Is slowly but
Bursly dying out in England. The OLD
and hOnored word duty, used so ef-
fectively by Nelson and Wellington in
the great moments of their career, the
cid idea OF compelling factor In life
which gave solidity and worth to the
English character, has yielded to Q
craze for pleasure. How far-reaching
is the change has perhaps hardly yet
been realized. People congratulate
themselves on the fact that our coun-
try Ii growing gayer and pleasanter
and more agreeable TO live In than
formerly, but at what price we have
bought the change they do not stop to
inquire.
The press has been indefatigable in
iashing the upper classes for their lux
ury, their idleness, and their extrava>
gance, vices which we have imported
from abroad, and which have been cul-
tiyated iii our midst by the presence
OF foreign millionaires. But 1t does
not seem to have struck the ordinary
observer that the same craze for
amusement which they deplore In the
rich prevails Id all classes, high or low.

There ls good story told Of q man
who has become q most successful
merchant. A few years ago he was
employed as an Office boy and messen-
ger for large firm. He was sent to
collect an account from a firm which
was considered very "shaky," and was
told to get the money at all hazards.
The debtors gave the lad check for
$3.50. He went TO the bank at once to
cash It, and was told by the cashier
chat there were not enough funds In
20 meet It.
"How much short?' asked the lad.
''Eeven dollars" was the answer.
II lacked but a minute or two Of the
time for the bank to close The boy
felt in his pockets took out 81 and.
pushing 1t through the window, said:
"Put that to the credit Of Blank g. Co.
The cashier did SO, whereupon the
boy presented the check and got the
money. Blank & Co. failed the next
day, and their chagrin can be better
lima gined than described when they
found out the trick that had been
played upon them.
