certainly think so from the number
OF children You can see, actually nun

| Real Business
| Fl 1t is said that one of these peddlerS

of stockings, and wants handkerchief

night comes, quite a good days profit
mingt comes, fifteen cent bargain in
the morning.
We also passed Tammany Hall,
where the policies of the American
government was dictated for years,
and is yet as the Tammany crowd are
very much alive, one can hear the
name mentioned, in almost every cafe
and restaurant you go into.
The Mail Shute
The large building on the right, is
exclusively for women, beautiful re-
inforced concrete building accomoda-

cial purposes but the offer was re-

grounds for their dogs to play in.
We of course passed many more
places of interest on this trip, some
of the grandest hotels in the world
are right along this drive, the Hotel
Astor has accommodation for 1900
people and it is said that the manager
receives salary of $4,000 a year.
!, The Hotel Waldorf is another, equal
in every way to the others in architec.
ture and every thing else.
Wall Street Riots
We also passed through the crowd
at Wall street where all the stocks
are bought and sold. There is so
much noise going on there that it is
impossible to hear anything that is
said, so the brokers that stick their
heads out Of the various story win.
dows have adopted the sign language
to communicate to their agents among
the crowd in the streets below, and a
stranger coming onto the crowd for the
first time would think that there
was riot of some kind going on.

visited the St. Patrick's Cathedral, that

artificial, and the land value, of the
park is $3S,000,0O0. Wild animals of
all kinds, and playing equipment for
the Riddles every where, but the park
is some ten or twelve miles from the
congested part of the city, where the
Italian and the Jewish population live
and that it is next to impossible for
the children to get there.
We passed up 5th avenue where
most of the millionaires of the city
live in great mansions, the buildings
come right out to the sidewalks, no
yards, as land is too valuable for grass
plots SO every thing is covered with
buildings, Mr.. Jay Gould's house was
pointed out to US, the building is four
