opinion that the order only applies
TO those commuters and persons pur-
chasing fifty trip tickets from Perth

land Rapid Transit from this city
after the first of the month will be
forced to pay the full fare each day
or else purchase their commutation
tickets of fifty trip tickets in Tot
tenville and pay the difference in
ferrage from this city to Tottenville

person committing between here and
New York over the Rapid Transit
would have to pay twelve cents each
day in crossing over the ferry here
should he purchase the commuta-
tion in Tottenville.

tie report can be heard but there Is
no danger to either the workers or
the people in the vicinity of the

Editorial reprinted from the New
York Tribune Of September let, 1890.
In a few weeks the shopping dis
tricts will be crowded with custo-
mers. Retail business will awaken
with a start from its Midsummer
quiet and steadily gain Roadway
until the crest Of the holiday trade
is reached. At present compare
tive quietude reigns in stores large
and small. While all the new
stocks for late Autumn and Win
ter may not be displayed, yet
goods of multifarious styles and
kinds arc evident IN lavish pro-
fusion, offered, in many instances,
at prices below those listed up to
this time.
Men and women Of thrifty habit
perceive the situation. They are
able TO inspect goods at leisure.
Salespeople, instead of working I'M
der high pressure, have the time to
explain details of fabrics. design,
workmanship. In this way and In
other ways they can assist Gus
toners to greater extent now than
later, when the rush sets In. Those
who can do so may find it worth
while to take advantage of exist
ing conditions.
