Conservative estimates indicate that there
were 100000 persons residing at distant
points who were In the city all Of the
week. This is shown by the hotel registers
and the increase in clearinghouse bust
ness. On each Individual day Of the cele.
bration there we're another million persons
who came to the city from nearby places.
The subway, which was constructed to
daily, carried more than 10000 The same
figures applied also to the elevated rail-
road. and at the end Of the week the two
systems had carried upward Of 5000 900
persons at 8 cents each. Taking the million
visitors as approximately correct, and their
average expense at S25 each, exclusive of
railroad fare, the total foots up $2j, 1000 900.

stores have done an active and probably
profitable business in the transient line,

their regular customers. The heaters also

represented the increase above the average

Bankers In the department store, hotel
and restaurant districts expressed surprise
over the normal state of their deposits and
cash balances during the last week. They
argued after the close OF business on Sat
urday that the falling off in many lines
of business represented by their deposits,
caused largely by decreased activity, just
about balanced the extra cash business
brought by the Hudson-F Fulton celebration.
TIL large downtown banks report an
unusual call for money and little increase
in deposits. An officer of the Irving Ma
tional Exchange bank, which is in the
heart of the produce district at West Broad
way and Chambers street, said:

Of the one now in progress here collections

New York, July Il An effort will be

The pugilistic atmosphere is undergoing

there was a strong hope among fight fol-
lowers that Stanley Ketchel might over

IT'S RIGHT

SCHOOLS AFTER
BATTLING NELSON
Cheyenne SCrapper Becoming
Ambitious Since He De-
feated Dalton.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 9.-There is talk
of matching "Muggsy" Schools with Bat
ting Nelson for f0rty-five rounds, the
fight to be pulled off here during Frontier
day. Schools is willing to tackle buzz
saw and would jump at a chance TO meet
Nelson. The latter, while visiting in
Cheyenne a few days ago, said that he
would be glad to take on Schools in case
he whipped Kid Dalton. Nelson said Dali
ton was one of the hardest nuts in the
country TO crack. and If Schools could
turn the trick he would do something that
none Of the other hghtweights have ever
succeeded in doing. In Nelson's opinion,
a boy that could defeat Dalton is good
enough for anyone in the lightweight di-
vision.
Schools close friends hesitate about
sending the lad against so seasoned a
boxer as Nelson until he has acquired
more experience, and in an probability
their advice win prevail. In the mean
time Schools will meet all Corners in any
part of the country who viii fight at his
weight. His next fight will take place at
Albuquerque on July "a. when he viii box
ten rounds.

A SACK OF WORRIES.
(Memphis NeWs-Scimeter)

A certain wayfarer carried a sack,
under which he tOiled and complained
increasingly. From none could he get
help or comfort.
And as he slowly journeyed, groaning
under his heavy burden, the Angel Of
knowledge came to him and spoke
kindly. saying:
Brother, what earliest thou2"
And the manamade answer surlily:
MY worries.
The Angel smiled pityingly upon him
and said;
Let US look into thy bundle and ex-
anime thy worries"
And so they looked in. But, IoI the
sack was empty.
why. surely" cried the man, there
were two great worries, too heavy for
man to bear. But-ah, yes, I had for
got-one was a worry of yesterday, and
so it is gone"
And the Other?"
"That-that was a worry Of tomorrow.
ana tit is not yet come"
The angel smiled upon the man with
infinite pity. saying:
and cheer and courage to the things Of
'Harken: He who bows himself down
under the worries of yesterday and to-
morrow wears himself out for uaught
But he who carries only the worries of
thing aside, and give all thy strength
today hath no need of a sack for his
sorrows. If thou wilt cast this black
today, then misfortune never can over
come thee, nor even come nigh thee"
WhereupOn the man did as the Angel
of knowledge commanded.
And as he took up his journey he went
swiftly on, his heart and his hands were
free to relieve many a brother wayfarer
Of his burdens, and to pluck for himself
sweet fruits and flowers along the way
side
And when he came at last to the set
ting of the sun it was with smiles and
a song.
