and expect to do the work of their lives in that time that work by the way not being et a preparation for the life to come that seems to be the last thing thought of in new york while the rush ush and tramp and hurry are great yet there to is a look of permanency about the people and the city which dis die it from the other city citi named chicago is great new york is endless the decision on the worlds fair site which went in favor of chicago seems to have awakened a feeling of rivalry between the two cities citie ft and this to is found cropping out on V in almost every little thing which occurs even in the late efte stage plays the anti chicago feeling breaks bre ka out and new york ridicules her claims to being a rival city Whitt whatever ever chicago may be or become new york will always be the first city of america the same war against census enumerators that is waged in almost every other city of the union is being fought here the regular census showed a population of in round numbers and the city authorities instituted an enumeration on the a ebie ae by district policemen li cemen which totaled more than the government figures figu fi guies iee so the air is blue and

weather is awful just juat now BOW in one day we get wind rain hail sleet sunshine heat and cold and one never thinks of going out without an umbrella even it if there is not a cloud in the sky nothing but good sidewalks and street railway service make it bearable the upper system of elevated road is greatly patronized carrying in one oay day what our road will carry in nearly a year theatricals in new york are picking up and we find over thirty prominent theatres theartres the atres running to good houses generally our party has taken ad vantage advantage of the opportunities presented and the tickets too by the way and visited some of the prominent play houses bouses of the city proctors theatre with all we the comforts Com forta of home and men and women broadway broad way theatre with paul jones nibles with nero nem madison square with bean brummell brul 1114 mr mansfield lyceum with sothern in malster of wood barrow garden theatre with dr bill and others have all yielded to our applause the lone lady is being quietly sat down upon in new york and what was commenced in the interest of respectability has ended in hardship and false delicacy A woman without a male companion cannot get a meal tu la an uptown restaurant after 9 and she cannot at any time secure a room in a hotel A woman reporter of one of the new york papers to test the strictness of such hotel rules went the rounds P made application for a room at many maby of the leading hotels and was refused admission no lone lady need apply was the rule she protested claimed to be a stranger but that was no matter how was she to get a place to live in she asked and the word came from nearly all get a gentleman to book it for you or bring a man with you and it will be all right thus showing that they profess a virtue which they have not and circumstances which occasionally sio tio nally come to light show that a urge large proportion of this population live outwardly good and virtuous lives while secretly they are rotten and wicked however this may be it is a fact that new york has too much sin and misery and wickedness in her to attract for long one who has breathed the pure air of fair gentle peaceful utah |
