HALF BILLION FARES FOR
BROOK YIN RAPID TRANSIT
Street Railway Besgars Itself for Pub
iie.-Tieket Chopper Last Survivor
of Custer Massacre.

New York, Feb. 16 Especial Cores
pondence of The Republican).-"W
are the victims of our own generosity"
says the president of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company. I'VE have
done so much for the people of Brook
Ign that we are practically bankrupted
ourselves" That statement is held to
explain several advances in the price
of B. r. T stock which have bewildered
and puzzled more than one anxious
Wall street broker or Spectator in the
past few years when he has found him
self on the wrong side of the market.
They have evidently been due to the
anxiety of unknown philanthropists TO
bankrupt themselves and die poor for
the sake OF that portion OF the New
York public which resides in the Dor
ough of Brooklyn and does business i'm
Manhattan. All that the ungrateful
public has done in return during the
past year has been to curse the 3. T.
T. and contribute 459,64O.926 nickels
toward defraying the cost of operation.
1t has just been demonstrated that the
fares collected annually on the 3,92S
cars utilized for conveying the immense
traffic over the 500 miles of tracks out
number the combined population OF
China, France and America, and that
IL every man, woman and child in the
United States were to take five rides
on the Brooklyn cars. they would fall
just SHORT OF aggregating the sum total
OF New Workers who annually use these
conveyances. Now the disconcerting
prediction is made by the engineers Of
the Rapid Transit board that the traffic
between the borough and Manhattan
will be increased by 10000 passengers
or more per hour curing the morning
and evening rushes as soon as the south
tunnel from the Battery is completed,
which will be in June. The officials of
the road solemnly declare that their
institution is too poor to provide addi-
tional straps and there is even some
fear that 1t will be necessary to let

John Martin, the sturdy little ticket
chopper at the 1O3d street subway sta
ton, is the sole survivor OF the Custer
massacre of June ,. 1876. when the at
tack was made upon Sitting Bull and
his horde of redskins at Little Big
Horn. By virtue of this distinction,
Martin was the guest Of honor when his
old regiment, the Seventh cavalry, and
other military organizations in full
uniform attended a military night
performance of popular play a few
days abgo Martin was bugler of the
Seventh cavalry and rode beside Gus
ter when the attack was made. After
the charge had been sounded, Custer
seeing that his force was greatly out
numbered, despatched him with a mes
sage to Major Reno. who was stationed
a few miles away. ordering his forces
TO be brought up at once. To this cir
cumstance Martin owes his life: but
Reno lost his way and Custer and his
handful of men had been destroyed
before assistance could reach them

Eighteen thousand lawyers are now
living more or less luxuriously off the
controversies Of individuals and the by
products Of crime in the metropolis.
Ninety-two more, candidates from the
law schools, were admitted to the New
York bar a few days ago. and there is
scarcely a week in which a locally
prominent legal light from some other
part of the country. seeking a wider
field and higher fees, is not added to
the steadily increasing number. At the
present time New York has a popula-
ton Of proximately $500, 900. and this
means that there is one lawyer to every
$50 individuals. Not a very large num-
Der from which TO draw a clientele, it
would seem, when the lawyers them
selves and those who can not afford
the luxury of law are subtracted. Yet
the most of them have a fulfilled. opu-
lent look that speaks elOquently OF
prosperity and suggests an inquiry in
to the methods by which it has been
acquired. There is the field of politics.
Of course. and in New York that takes
care of good many of the poorer
lawyers. while practice before the civil
and criminal courts of the city and
state accounts for a gOOdly number of
pleaders; but il is to the enormous
volume of business transactions that
the greater number look for support.
Many of the great financial and COM
mercial institutions have prominent
lawyers at their heads and all of them
are equipped with one or more salaried
employees whose legal advice is indis-
pensable in transactions involving. as
they frequently do. millions of dollars.
In addition to these sources of income,
there were more than $4,000 transfers
of real estate last year, involving some
thing like S1.345.OOO.O 900. and most of
them provided handsome fee for a
lawyer on either side of the trans
action.

President ROosevelt's pardon Of Capt.
George b BoyntOn, "gun-runner" and
revolutionist of three continents and
both hemispheres, has brought TO light
a life-history of adventure and strife
which reads like an old-world romance
transplanted to a prosaic age OF busi-
ness. Captain BOynton's career as a
soldier of fortune began at 10 years of
age. when he ran away from home TO
join a New York regiment in the Civil
War. where he earned captains COM
sion for headlong daring. With an ap-
petite whetted for further adventure,
Captain Boynton busted himself for an
other four years with the affairs of the
South American republics and then
hurried to Cuba to take part in the
revolution of 1868 as a blockade run
ner. Becoming disguised with the In
gratitude of his allies, he left the is
land to join in the FrancO-Prussian
war. afterwards ran the blockade in
the interest of Don Carlos. the Spanish
pretender. followed that enterprise with
few campaigns against the Turks in
the Balkans. and then returned to
South America and the West Indies,
where they serve revOlutiOnists piping
hot at a moments notice. 1t was the
devious and unfamiliar ways of bust
ness which finally laid the doughty
captain by the heels in Blackwells Is
land prison. TO which he was committed
three months ago for trying TO pull off
in New York. apparently with the best
intention in the world, the usual
scheme for financing South American
revolution which consists in turning a
small amount of silver bullion into coin
of the country to be revolutionized.
