ordinary citizen, and the cry is, still
they come. Well, they are expected
to bring prosperity TO wage-earners
especially. Il is estimated that New
York wage-earners will save $25,-
600 900 year by means Of the rapid
transit subways which are to be open
ed next summer. The totals repre-
sent only the saving in rent, carfare
and time. They will save much more
in the matter Of health, and in gem
eral peace of mind. Another gain
will result from the increased busi
ness that can be transacted by quick
err communication between all parts
Of the metropolis. Thousands Of per-
sons will &c able TO do more busi-
ness in the same time. They will
make more money. Then money will
circulate more rapidly, and general
business will be stimulated. Such
savings, in the abstract, cannot be
estimated, even approximately. II Is
known in general, however, that the
total must be many millions year.
Realty experts estimate that the
500, 900 persons who will leave Man
haitian fats this year will be divided
as follows: Two hundred and fifty
thousand TO New Jersey; 10000 TO
Brooklyn, 100000 TO Queens. The
general readjustment will give 35.-
900 10 the North Bronx, Westchester
and Staten Island, part OF which will
come from increase OF population.
How the panic in the stock market
affected the young rich people OF
New York city is illustrated by the
reports from the automobile market.
IL has been stated that in one day one
prominent manufacturing firm OF
automobiles in this city received can
cellatlons OF no less than 81 sales OF
high class machines. Others we're
not so easily heard from, but the
cancellations are said TO have been
numerous in the extreme. This
shows that the young bloods OF mil
lions who are following their fathers
In following the market, are not so
successful. II has been said that 2
group of young milllonaires was
out OF $20,000,000 OF
solid cash in the panic days when
the stocks slid down the scale like
creased pigs In a slaughter house.
Twenty millions would pay for n
great many automobiles and not hav-
Ing loose change TO that amount, in
their pockets. the young fellows are
forced TO deny themselves luXurles.
of which an auto Is chief, and the
most wasteful and costly. But 80
far the swells have kept up their /
costly style OF clothes, and Fifth !
avenue is still radiant with their
bright and stunning raiment.
Information about the mosquitoes
OF New Jersey Is always received in
New York city with great interest
The mosquitoes. though born and
bred In New Jersey. come over 10
New York quite readily, and Il is a
fact that New Workers living in New |
Jersey last season escaped any |
trouble from mosquitoes, except NJ
Intervals. while they encountered I
them as soon as they took the ferry
boats ON the New York side of the /
river. II Is therefore matter of
