GOTHAM NOW FILLED
RESIDENTS RETURN AND TOURISTS
FLOCK TO CITY.
New York Takes on New Life at Early
Stage--Medical Specialists Mo-
nopolized By Cap
ftaiintm.

New York. Sept. 5.--(Special )--Be-
sieged by a horde of returning resi-
idents, passing tourists and autumn ex-
| cursionists. this city is today crowded
and whirling with more life than any
September has seen in all its history.
Hotels shops, shows and streets from
end to end of Broadway are overrun
with crowds that figure up almost to
the record rush of the Christmas holt :
days.
Fifth Avenue and the parks and
boulevards have already begun to fill
with the smart traps and cars of the
swell set. while rows of lately deserted
brown stone mansions have suddenly
been unboarded and thrown open.
New York has always counted Sep
TENDER an added month of the slug
gtsh summer season; but today the
town IL IS, vide awake and busting as
It is usually by Thanksgiving. While
no one can exactly account for this
remarkable rush back to Gotham, the
return of real times in business and
the impending Hudson-Fulton celebra-
ton are believed to be largely respon-
sible for 1t.

medical specialists are today retained
to wait upon the falling physiques of
the magnates of the market down on
Wall Street, has been revealed in the
present hunt for the details Of the at
tendance upon the little Mr.. Harri-
man up on his big mountain in Arden.
Scores OF the leading men Of the pro-
cred to limit their practice largely to
the stomach, liver. lungs and heart
beats of some one or two of the kings
of finance. who practically engage
them exclusively to mend and main
tain bodies that limp behind their
over-driven brains. The pace rs hot
in the modern mill that has ground
Hartman so fine. and hundreds OF cor
poration heads, with the big bankers
and brokers, are constantly risking
bodily breakdowns to push through
their gigantic deals. Medical author
tiles declare that few sound stomachs or
sets of nerves survive the strain OF
high finance, and many of the pick OF
the profession are setting about the
lucrative job of patching them up.
