John C. Nicholls.
A “CLEAN KK-OUT” WANTED.
What He is Expected to Do at a Ten-
Cent Kestaurant.
Frrr.n the Chicago Tribune.
An advertisement appeared in a morn
ing paper yesterday ior the services ot a
man to “claan out a restaurant nights.”
The proprietor offered board in payment
for the services of the “cleaner-out,” and,
notiijg the direction, a reporter for the
Tribune visited the eating bouse, which
is situated on the west side, for the pur
pose oi finding out the exact nature of
the services required and the quantity and
quality of the remuneration.
“No, sir,” said the proprietor, “1 don’t
want a man to clean out the place when
it is full ol hard characters, for it is out
of them 1 make my money. Neither do I
want him to clean out the provender
when the day’s eating is finished. 1 want
him to come here at 10 p. m. and remain
here until 4 a. m.,sweep out. clean up the
dirty dishes, and straighten tne bouse up
generally. It is nearly an all-night job,
but I can get plenty of i)iee (allows to do
it for their three meals a day.”
Toe reporter noticed that 10c. was the
highest price chargtd tor a meal, and he
ventured to ask the price of board by the
week,
“Two dollars, sir. and I’ll take all I can
get at that price. 1 can fi eil a man for
10c., give him the same quality of meat
and vegetables he would get at a $5-a-week
boarding house, and make money. You
notice I advertise any cut of meat, two
kinds of vegetables, bread and butter,
and a cup of coffee for 10c. 1 can make
4c. on every meal. 1 feed 400 per day,
so you see I make money.”
“Have you bad many applicants for the
position you want filled?”
“About twenty, and a mixed lot they
were. Some were very genteel, sma-t
-looking fellows, who sad they would lie
glad to do anything tbat would insure
them three 10c. meals per day. Onelel
low ia an attendant at Rush Medical Col
lege. He thought he would OOtr.o at first,
but finally made up bis mind that the
hours were a little too long for him and
the distance too great to travel to meals.
Several rusty-looking specimens called
and spoke ol having seen better times, i
didn’t want them, because I had my pick
of some very respectable-looking appli
cants, and besides one of those hungry
looking fellows would cal tne out of house
and home while I would be sleeping.”
The reporter declined an invitation to
dinner, and departed wondering if this
man’s larder was like the widow’s barrel
of oil, or if all boarding house keopers
who charge ffi per week are robbing the
people.
Constipation, the curse oi our sedentary
life, Dyspepsia, our national disease, and
Rheumatism, which ootnes from acid
stomach and from the sudden changes in
our olimate, are quickly cured by taking
one or two Rrandreth’s Pills every night
for a month. Persons are now living, en
joying most vigorous health, who have
taken one or these pills a night (or over
thrity years. Chronics diseases are cured
by taking from two to four of Brandreth’s
Pills every night for a month. They
‘purge away the old diseased body. This
you replace with new and healthy flesh,
prepared by an invigorated digestion froiu
simple, healthful food.
INSTANCES OF HEROISM,
Which were AVitryesseil at Charles
ton During the Earthquake.
Alany instances, says the correspondent
ol the New York Sun, of heroism are re
corded. One is worthy of special note.
At the intersection ot Reed and King
streets, as a wagon was going along, the
shaking of tbe dreadful visitation caused
the poor animal attached to the wagon,
as if by intuition, to stop, shivering, in
his tracks. No voice, no encouragement,
no application ot the lash could induce
him to move. In an instant afterward
the earthquake was on the city aim the
whole gable end of a store near the doomed
driver fell with a crash to the street.
Everything was involved in one promis
cuous ruin. It was just here, however,
that the sublimity of human during was
evoked by the catastrophe which had just
been witnessed by dozens of persons. At
least a dozen oi those, before the earth
had recovered from tho vibration, rushed
over on the pile made by the dismantled
gable on the street and made desperate
efforts to rescue tbe man, who had boon
instantly killed. This happened even
while the dust of the house was still fall-
ing.
A man who was on King street, near
Reid, at the very instant of the shocksnw
some manifestations of heroic human na
ture that should be put on record, in that
neighborhood are a number of stores kept
by small proprietors, whose families live
on the second floors. These stores are
lighted in many instances by kerosene
lamps, the explosion of which at that
time and place caused the first fires. The
premonitory sounds ot the oncoming
t arthquake brought the people io Iheir
feet. The first impulse was, of course, to
flee to the streets, aud even before the ac
tual shock occurred the pavements were
filled with a terrorized and surging mass
of men and women, it was the hour when
all the children were in bed. Hardly had
the excited citizens reached the streets
when tho visitation launched itself upon
tbe city from above or below in all its
fury. There were vivid flashes of light in
some stores and in others the liuhts went
out and left such ot the inmates as re
mained in utter darkness. The sudden
blazes of light were the explosions of the
kerosene lamps which occurred simulta
neously with the first shock. Then ensued
a scene of horror and dismay such as is
beyond the power of pen to describe. The
paralyzed senses of the frightened citi
zens must have indeed been restored by
miraculous interposition. Turning from
their places of fanciod security in tbe
open air, the thoughts of fathers and
mothers and sisters went back to their
little ones who had been abandoned on
the second floors of the tottering houses.
But tbe road to these unconscious sleep
ers was tnrough flames or through houses
wrapped in darkness. In the clothing
stores the overturned lamps had ignited
the lighter materials, and in an instant
there were fires here, there arid every
where. The light was sufficient to expose
to the gaze of one outside the scenes that
were being enacted within. Here an old
man could be seen grasping in his trem
bling hands whole sheets of blazing cloth
aud rushing with them out into the street.
The clothes of many who were engaged
in the hazardous work of self-preserva
tion caught on fire, and there is not tbe
slightest exaggeration in saying that
dozens ol these poor people fled back into
ihe streets wrapped io a circle of flame.
But they helped each other with tho en
ergy which only such sublime moments
could iuspire, and casualties by tire were
happily averted.
A lady, who is a very devout Catholic,
thinks sneowes a gveatdeal to her blessed
candle. When the shook of Tuesday night
was over, and alter the house had com
paratively settb'd dowi? on its pins, she
went toiler trunk, where she kept the
eandie, blessed tor heron Candlemas Day.
This she at once lighted and, with an in
lant in one arm and the other children
following, the affrighted party started to
escape lrom the mass of falling debris.
The bouse, after its roekiugs had become
a little mixed and the doors were jammed
so that the fleeing party could notget into
the streets through tne frontdoor. By the
light of her blessed candle this brave lit
tle Christian woman picked her way
through a dark allev, overtoils of falling
chimney tops and through a deathly
shower of missiles, and tooK her little
flock to Washington square. The candle
was kept burning all night, its place being
supplied with another as it expired, and
as soon as it was known in the crowd
that a “holy candle,” as J’rotestants call
it, was lighted the owner was at. once
surrounded by a crowd ot ladies and child
ren. Not a breutn oi air was stirriug on
Tuesday night and tbe "holy candle” shed
its feeble light steadily until daybroak,
giving at least a little comfort and cheer
fulness to hearts that were sorely bowed
down with woe.
Saratoga Color 'll People.
Troy Timm' Surat ’ja l.rttrr.
The swell hotel for colored jieople, or
rather the hotel for swell colored peopie,
the Broughton House, has had a very (air
season, at one time nearly 100 ot the
wealthier classes ol colored people,
mostly from Boston, New York and Phila
delphia, being comfortably located there.
A garden party was to have been given
there, with P. Baltimore, Jr., of Troy,
arid his friend, a noted colored physician
of Philadelphia, as the active managers
of tbe affair, but it was postponed until
so late tbai it was given up. Broughton,
the proprietor, is rated at nearly $250,000.
Writing ot the colored people, I may say
that the great majority of those" who
come to Saratoga for service are
nice-looking, very polite, very orderly
and very industrious. The excejitfous
are a few ignorant and sometimes vicious
“coons,” who belong with the Western
racing stables or who follow the races in
some capacity. Tbe colored hotel waiters
ol Saratoga are the bestiu the world. As
in the case of some Troy departures by
boat for Rockawav and Asbury Park, it
takes ten or a dozen iriends to see one
person off', so that the crowd of colored
pe"ple about the Saratoga depot before
the departure ol the night-boat train is
something interesting to eontemplnte.
You can hear the “good-by” kissing
away down on Broadway, sometimes.
And then the messages that aro audibly
sent to “loved ones at home,” in Thomp
son, Sullivan and Bleeekcr streets. South
Filth avenue, and all the streets west of
Fifth avenue beginning with the prefixes
Twenty and Thirty,are fearfully aud won
derfully touching and affectionate.
Settling an Egyptian Conspiracy*
Joat/uin Miller in the Chicago Timer,
Some lew years ago, when nearing the
upper rapids on the Nile, we were fore
bidden the right of passage without
heavy tribute. A big row was at once
inaugurated in true Oriental fashion by
the tellahs, and a noise like “an army
with banners” was all about our ears.
We bad several Englishmen on hoard,
each one ol w hom swore loudly that he
would write to the Times. An American,
from Boston 1 think, swore at tbe blsck
and rebellious natives in tiio most villain
ous French 1 ever heard. And, as 1 am
an American. 1 have heard a heap of bad
French in my day. Another man, from
Chicago i>erhaps, went and dug tip a
couple of old pistols from the luggage
room.
But mean while a grizzled old fellow,
who had hardly been heanl from all tbe
way up, got on land with a Idg, heavy
hickory stick, and he argued it out with
that hickory stick in less tnan two min
utes. He did not talk either in the French,
English or Chicago language. In fact,
he did not talk at all. But in leva tnan
two minutes every one ol tbe conspirators
who was not sprawling on the sand was
pulling at the ropes, and we never had
another word of truble. And ttie grizzled
old fellow with tne stout hickory cane
turned out to be an old California ranch
man. 0

A CHILD’S SUFFERING
From Ffzonia. Ears and Scalp
Covered with Scabs and Sores.
Cured by Cuticura,
My little eon, need 8 years, lias been afflicted
with Eczema of i he sc dp, and at time* a great
portion *f the body, ever since ho was 2 years
old. It began in his ears and extended to his
t'Culp, which became covered w ith scabs and
sore's, and from which a sticky lluid poured
out, causing iuten*e itching ami distress, and
leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Under
neath these scabs the skin was raw, like a
piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came
out and was destroyed, until but a small
patch was left at the back of the head. My
friends in Peabody know how my little boy
ha* suffered. At night ho would scratch his
head until his pillow was covered with blood.
1 used to tie Ins hands behind him, and in
many wavs tried to prevent his scratching;
but it was no use, he would scratch. I took
him to the hospital amt to the best physicians
in Peabody w ithout succors. About this time
some friends, who hlid been cured by the
( ttici'ka Remedies, prevailed upon me to
try them, i began to use them on the 15th of
.January last. In seven months every particle
of the disease was removed. Not a spot or
scab remains on bis scalp to tell the story of
b'Shiiucring His hair lias returned, ami is
thick ami strong, and his scalp as sweet and
clean as any child’s in the world. I cannot
say enough to express iuv gratitude for this
wonderful cure by the CCTiurKA Remedies,
and wish all similarly afflicted to know that
my statement is true ?>mi without exaggera
tion. CHARLES MuKAY,
Oct. 0, 1885. Peabody, Muss,
l have seen Mr. McKay’s boy when badly
affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful
sight to look at. I know that he has tried our
b st physicians, and did all a father could do
for a suffering child, but availed nothing, f
know that the statements he has ma le you as
regard*the curing of his boy by your Cuticur a
Remedies are true in every particular.
