dreu most hold dear be denied, for it
would be an easy matter for the |

that day. While this particular
Christmas incident caused the
greatest agitation throughout the
city, it was regarded by many of the
more serious minded as only fore
runner of other wide reaching diff |
ferences that will have to be settled
in the near future with the ire
menGous foreign population that
has settled down in New York In
the past few years
One of the interesting side lights
on the present financial troubles, is
the very marked increase in the
number of books dealing with finan-
cial subjects that have been called
for at the public libraries. The cir
culqtion of the books dealing with
modern banking methods said a
clerk at one of the big branches the
other day has trehled in the last
month Books which have remained
untouched for years have been
called for. The. people seem to want
to study for themselves the why's
and wherefores of the present trou-
bles, and to learn the causes and
remedies of panics in the past. But
besides the demand for books deal
ing with the history and economic
theory Of banking, there has been
an unusual call for books containing
stories about money matters. For
example John Laws Mississippi
Bubble has had great run.
The barber who advertised that
while his customers were having
their hair cut, they could have their
nails manicured, shoes shined, and
hats cleaned at thS same time,
, thought he had hit upon the great
est combination as time saver for
the busy New Yorker. However,
/ the New York Central, under the
plan just inaugursted, has made it
possible for the really busy man,
; who generally has all of the four
! things enumerated above accom-
plished while he SITS in the BARRIERS
chair. He may, to attend to one
thing more, call a messenger and ar
range for an extensive business trip.
1t is no longer necessary for a
man to stand in line in front of the
ticket Office window. He merely has
to write letter or telephone any
of the numerous branch Offices of
the New York Central, and a mes
senger will call at his house, club
or Office or wherever he may choose,
taking with him the necessary tick
cts and Pullman accommodations to
the comfort of the traveller. It is
believed by the railroad officials,
that this accommodation to the busy
traveller will result in sufficient in
creased business to warrant the
permanent of the plan.
/ To the average stranger in New
York on Sunday, 1t seems very little
different from any week day, ex-
F, cept that the stores are closed and
there is less trucking about the
streets. Otherwise the big city
seems to be as busy as ever. There
are. infinite amusaments to attract
the pleasure seeker. and the trains
and trolleys are crowded with the
thousands on their way to the coun-
try for the day.
But the interests of the $4,000
people in New York vary widely,
and while some look upon Sunday
as day of recreation, others attend
some form of religious worship reg
ularly. In the bor0ughs of Manhat-
tan and Bronx alone there are 81
churches, and it was recently esti-
mated on a Sunday morning that
there was nearly a quarter of mill
lion people attending the different
services. The figures show also that
there were three times as many
women church goers as men
The extension OF Riverside Drive
from 135th to 153th street, a dis
lance of one and one-quarter miles
is practically completed, after three
years of work at total cost of 49,
100000. Additionally as we'll as
scenically the new drive will equal
} if not surpass the older section of
the boulevard below Grants Tomb
