2 AN INCIDENT IN THE l’A HR WHAT A NEW YORK BROTHER SAW IN THE EARLY MORNING. Something About Cash Boys and Girls —The Invention that Makes their Ser vices Unnecessary How a Smart Mechanic Made a Fortune. New York, Nov. Two man who had leen playing poker all night emerged from a bachelor apartment house on lower Fifth avenue yesterday morning and stood irresolutely on the sidewalk. They were fashionably and correctly dressed, and per fectly suave in manner, though they had both lost money and wero sadly in need of sleep The elder was a well-known man about town, a Captain of militia and a good fellow generally. The other was the rather dissipated younger son of a wealthy New York family. “Ai*e you going down town now?* asked the Captain, as he buttoned his glov* and flicked a speck of lint from las coat sleeve. , , "Nope’’said the other, carelessly. ‘l’m not due till 10:30, and it would never do to startle them by arriving so far ahead of time. It isn’t 8 yet, wit f' ".lust 8,” said the Captain, looking at his watch. ‘ Well,” said the other, “it’s no use going to sleep, for a short nap only breaks me up for the day after being up all night; so we’d lietter go to breakfast.” “Ough!” shuddered the Captain. “I wouldn’t encounter the smel I of a restaurant for anything on earth now.” A bright idea struck the younger man and he said: “I’d tell you what we’ll do, Jim. If yon re game for a walk, we’ll start and foot it from here up to the park, and breakiast at the restaurant there on the terrace, right in the open air. It’s a good three miles, and we can get a little frozen absinthe on the cor ner just as ail appetizer before we start. You'll feel as fit as a Addle afterwards." Five minutes later they started, und the clerks and salesmen who were hurrying down town encountered two well-dressed, pallid and energetic New Yorkers pounding away to the northward with all the energy in the world. At 8:30 the two men sat on the sunny side of a terrace, with a beautiful bit of wood laud scenery stretched out below them, fac ing a table covered with snowy linen. They drank strong tea, ate eggs, Windsor herring and triiie coked with chopped peppers and other biting and appetizing vegetables. About 9 o’clock they started in a leisurely way with lighted cigars toward the en tr.mce to the tirk. They had just crossed a small stone bridge when the Captain called the attention of his companion to the bridle path which ran under the bridge and through a heavy thicke'. of woods. "Good place to meet a girl on the quiet,” he said, shortly. The other man smiled significantly and nodded his head. Suddenly his face grew pale, his jaw dropped, and his eyebrows came together in a scowl. His companion stared at him for a moment in silence, fol lowed the direction of his eyes, and saw a benutiful girl on horseback just in the turn of the I ridle path above the bridge. She lean- and back on her horse, resting one hand on the bea-t’s hack and looked With extra ordinary earnestness at her companion—a square jawed, powerfully-built and hand some English groom. The mistress was leaning so < lose to the man that, their faces were not three inches apart. His face was a remarkable one in many respects. It was perfectly colorless and smooth shaven. The eyes were big, black and deep set. The man talked with the impetuous!ty of a lover, and the earnestness of the two loiterer.; in the bridle path vva- so pronounced that they were utterly unconscious of time or plsiv. The younger of the two men oil the bridge said halt huskily: •‘That’s my sister taking her morning ride. We’ve chanced along at exactly the right time.” There was a moment’s silence. “Can I lie of any service to you f* asked the Captain, softly. “Thanks, no.” said the other, shortly. “I’ll tak- the little fool home.” “Don’t frighten her,” said the Captain, squeezing the boy’s arm paternally. “That’s r nasty looking nag she’s on.” The younger man nodded and the Cap tain strode on a few paces and_stood in the brush waiting in case his assistance was needed. On the bridge the white-faced brother stood and bit his lips as he watched the tableau. Pres tly he struck his cane with terrific for*, i across the stone balustrade, breaking it into a hundred pieces, and shout ed his sister’s name in a voice that was husky and hoarse. The pair started and rode slow ly forward. The groom dismounted from his horse and the brother stepped for ward and dealt him a stunning blow in the face. The groom reeled but stood aside with his hands clenched. The other man —he was scarcely more than a boy in years —looked at him quietly for a minute, bound ed into the saddle of the groom’s horse, and cantered off with his sister riding beside him. She had not uttered a word. The boy had not even looked at her. The gi*ooni stalked away and the Captain who had seen it all sli- tigged his shoulders, lighted u fresh cigar and pursued his way tranquilly down town. Blakely Haul. 11. The problem of how to sell goods is an im portant. cine to the average merchant, but to tiie New York vendor of goods the disposi tion ot the proceeds of the sale is a matter of almost as great moment, it costs a big store at least 82,500 a vear and no end of anxiety to hire cash boys. These youths command in New York a salary of 82 to $3 r week, and cash girls, who are deemed more steady and reliable by some mer chants, get tiie same salary. About five years ago a poor mechanic of tiie metropolis stepped into a dry goods store to make some purchases for his wile and was kept waiting a long time uy a tardy cash lioy. Ho con ceived the idea of au automatic system of ca-h delivery by bails rolling over tracks of wires. He work s! out his invention, which was linrt tried in a Chicago store, it proved successful, nut money wu-needed to develop it, and tin* mechanic had u> enlist men of means to whom he gave a two-thirds inter est in the patent. They were shrewd busi ness men, however, and refused to sell tiie patent to any firm, but rented the right ut an average rate of 818 a wire per year. The scheme proved so successful that tin* inven tor now receives an annual income of $150,- 000. His partners are a syndicate of Boston capitalis’s. A poor floor walker in a New York store saw the workings of the cash delivery sys tem, and made up his mind that it * could improve upon it to tho extent of lorwnrding not only the cash but the goods purchased by the customer to a central point hi tiie store. His invention consisted of a basic, t in which was placed tho articles selected by tbe customer and a puree containing the purchase*money. The lm.wt rushes along over wires to the cashier's desk, where tiie good 4 are wrapped up, and alter tho change as been put into the purse sent bac’. over the wires to the salesman's counter. This invention mail" a fortune for tiie man u o devised it, and one New York firm reports that it saves them at least $2,500 a year as compared with their outlay when they hud to hu*e ca ll boys. Nevertheless, the cash hoy and tiie cash girl are still popular with several of tiie large metropolitan dry gixxl* firms. Three of tho largest stares on Broad wav employ cash toys, one of them having colored tads, with blue goid-triiinned uniforms. Two ex tensive Sixth uvenue retail dry goods houses and one on Fourteenth strevt have cash girls. At one of the Fourtet nth si,re t.~t-.res the girls are uniformed in blue Mother Hub bard drf*<-s. It ts claimed that they are more trust worthy limn tiie boys and more prompt in doing their work. One Six t iio venue flrnt that hns a desire to •ample all systems of ca.h delivery hires girls for the departments whore the liner fabrics of women's wear are sold, boys for the other departments, atid in addition to these the pneumatic system of cash deliv ery. The latter is the most rapid method known of dispatching money to the cashier. In one of the largest dry good: houses m New York the purchase money is placed > ! * what looks like an exaggerated model of a sewing machine bobbin, thrust Into the pneumatic tube and shot five stories high to the top floor, where sixty cashiers are at work making change. The system appears wonderful to the novice until he finds out that messages are constantly being fired through tubes extending half the length of Manhattan Island. A company has reccntlv lieen organized iu New York for providing system of pneumatic delivery that will send massages through any tributary to the desired house. The difficulty of controlling cash boys had as much as much os anything to do with the invention of a mechanical system of cash delivery. It is necessary to employ not only the boys but also a man to control them. A gentleman iu this perplexing line of busi ness who is at work in a ,Sixth avenue store was asked if his cash boys did as good ser vice as a mechanical system of delivery would. Before he had time to answer lie was attracted by a great commotion out in the store. Two boys were playing “catch” with a bundle of goods while the customer was patiently awaiting the coining ot the package. When the master of the toys had qmeted this riot he returned and said; "Cash girls or boys are more expensive and troublesome than any other system of hand ling goods ami money, but many conserva tive firms still retain them. Not long ag * our cash boys went on a strike for an in crease of 25c a week and also demanded that they be allowed 30 minutes more for luncheon than we had given them. H e hi roil other boys, and then the lads that they had supplanted began a system of persecu tion that made the lives of the newcomers burdensome. I don't believe that a strike of an equal number of grown men ever made nr •re trouble. Finally, we put iu an automatic system of cash handling and did away with boys altogether.” Amos J. Ccmmings. MUSCULAR BROKERS. • Some of Them are Surprisingly Profi cient With the “Gloves.” New York, Nov. 12.—Extremes prover bially meet, and the fact is exemplified anew in the love of boxing which unites in a sort of fellowship the gentlemanly broker and the professional "bruiser." Many of the brokers of Wall street and elsewhere in New York are surprisingly proficient with the gloves. They take lessons from “pro fessors” and froth awkwar I novices who put forward theirright “duke ’ as a guard, then lieoome dangerous antagonists who have learned to put up their left as a guard and to strike blows with their right which xug gest those of a Roman battering rum. Rome of them used to take lessons in fisticuffs in their elegant Wall street offices from broken nosed and broken-down ex-members of the 24-foot ring at $5 a lesson, and in time they became as expert and dangerous as Chester S. Lord and tils staff of .S’im reporters, who scientifically pommel each other at ab ut 2:30 o’clock every morning or just after the paper has gon-to press. M;;nyof the broker are members of athletic clubs and they me the gloves there. It Is no longer safe for a bully to attack a well-dressed gent leman, or even what is termed a dude, on the supposi tion that he cannot ‘use his hands.” Some of the roughs of the Sixth ward have had this momentous fact clearly demonstrated. Ttxe champion boxer of the Stock Ex change is Albert V. De Goicouria. He is also one of its handsomest men. He is a Cuban by birth, but was educated in New York, and is a thorough American in tastes and ideas as well as in a complete mastery of the language. He is broad-shouldered, deep-chested and in every respect, power fully built, of about the medium height and weighs 175 pounds. He has a long reach anil strikes a blow which even that redoubt able bruiser, John L. Sullivan, might fee! called upon to notice. He once overcame “Prof.” Mike Donovan, the Instructor in boxing to the Athletic Club. Mr. De Goicouria lias an arm which athletes admire and a plaster cast of it is displayed at the Athletic Club house. He married the youngest daughter of the late- William Wall, once Mayor of Williamsburg, and a millionaire rope man ufacturer. He Is an uncle by marriage of Barry W r all, the exquisite King ot the Dud’s, who, by the way, is a very gentl manly and apparently harmless young fel low, Young Howell Osborn, son of tbe late millionaire broker, is considered quite skill ful with the gloves—mere so than in specu lation, which he lia-s abandoned, receiving a foi tune from his mother on consideration of so doing. The number of Stock Exchange members who are skillful with the b edng gloves is too large to mention; many are members of the New York Athletic Club, and practice nightly. The champion of the Produce Exchnnge is Herman Oelrichs, of tiie wealthy family of shipping merchants. lie owns the yacht Hiidegarde and is a member of the New York Yacht Club. He is about 45 years of age, well knit and powerfully built, and weighs 200 pounds. His admirers ny he strikes a blow suggestive of one from a mule’s hind limb. Walter Munn, a son of a wealthy freight broker, is tin opponent ;hut tew on the Produce F.xchauge can mi-cess fullv meet. S. Morris Prvor, the stock broker, a cousin of Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who appeared for the Anarchists G'f re tbe United States Supreme Court, u-ed to be one of the best boxers in the Racquet and made the boys there feel the might of liis puissant arm full many n time and oft, but he is getting too stout now to keep up his former reputation. James P. Moore, nf the Consolidated Exchange, mav per haps be consideied its champion boxer, though there are several others who might be disposed to dispute that place. He is young and wealthy, and is associated in oil Sjieeulatiou with Joseph Craig, tiie big oner* ator of Pittsburg. Mr. Moore t- a member of both the New York and Brooklyn Athletic Clubs, and when he puts on tho gloves and faces an antagonist there is a decidedly ani mated scuffle, with Moore invariablv' forc ing the fighting, aud doing up his victim in a manner that would have made John C. [ Heenan or Tom Sayres smile. C. J. Quack burner, of the same Exchange, is a heavy hammer thrower and tug-of war man at the rope. He weighs 225 pounds, is tall und splendidly* pro[>oi*tioiid. and is considered \ the Hercules of tin* Exchange. The champion athlete of the Cotton Ex change is James B. Guest, if broker, who sometimes sells 10,00(4 bales of cotton in a day. He ts interested at all kinds of fleid I s;iorts, is tail, powerfully built, und cun j give the boys points in boxing ns well as I other brunnhes of athletic amusements, j Young Quintt. of the Coffee Exchange, i who was murdered some time tig i. was one of the best athletes, Gong especially pro ficient in wrestling. He was, however, also | a good boxer. Quiet and courteous in mnn j t er. well knit and powerful, he seemed tiie last one tiiat would fall a victim to the re volver of a littie des|>craiio who Ims Usui known as u criminal for years. James Biair, of the stun • Exchange, i<mk Kroons in I boxing from “Prof.” Wood, and is now one 10l its best boxers. \nd the list of iioxtug brokers, wito take to athletic sports as a re lief from the excitement of speculation, might be greatly extended.

Jacbsonvtllb, Fla,, July 1, 18S5. Two years ago I hail the worst ulcer of my lep I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee and my foot were swollen and in flamed. The bone was swollen and pain ful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physician SRld I had ne crosis of the bone, and my leg would tiave to coine off. At this stage I com menced to take P. P. P. and bathe my leg with hot eastile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and useful leg. I think P. P.

There is an affinity between “coal” and “cold” that is cemented by the friendly aid of a warm overcoat, and as prudent persons seldom neglect the “coal-bin" till the rigors of frost are upon them, so does the wise man provide the inevitable overcoat in time. We have given some study to tbe overcoat question this season, and the result will, we tuink, be creditable to our taste ami that of the purchaser. From the Fancy Silk-lined Coat lor the ultra-fashionable Inon to the substantial but modest garment for those of milder kteas, we can equally please, beside •having numerous intermediate styles and qualities to meet any taste or desire or price. .Aide! to this, we keep tip our variety of Gents’.
