BARGAIN DAY SCENE.

In these days of high prices and sta
tionary salaries it is easy to draw q
crowd at any store where good article
is being sold very cheap. At least this is
the confirmed opinion of the proprietor
Of a 5 and 10 cent store in Fulton street,
Brooklyn, and on Monday he sought to
demonstrate his contention He offered
shoes, all new, tans, russets, oxford
ties, high uppers and every conceivable
kind at 10 cents apiece. or 30 cents
pair The result was astonishing. Such
crowds collected that Fulton street be-
came blocked. The cars had to move
cautiously along to prevent striking the
fringe of the crowd that extended to the
tracks. When the store opened at s am
about 500 usewives, men aud child
rem, were on baud to got 4 pair of the
shoes. An hour later there were several
hundred more, and by 10. O'Clock the
street was impossible. A report circu-
lated that riot was in progress and the
reserves of the Adams street station
hurried tothe scene. Literally it was a
riot, but actually it wasn't. 1t was simply
a monster exhibition O. what football
rush looks like on the gridiron. The
store couldn't hold the crowd. The peo-
pie focked in on the Fulton street side
and had to Re shuttled out on the side.
Several women tainted and the reserves
had 10 keep on the job.
