1 Grewcome Scene—Wliat Becomes of the
Effects Which Pauper* Leave Behind
When They Take Their Own lire
They Find Their Way to the Bowery,
“Misery’s auction sale” took place
Thursday. It was held at 5 Duane street,
and though that is not its official name
it occurred to a reporter who heard it
called so as a most appropriate one.
The auction has an odd and grewsome
origin. Whan a man commits suicide
by pistol or knife the coroner takes pos
session of tho weapon. If tho man has
no friends or relatives, and leaves no
will, his clothes and any personal effects
that ho may have go with it
After the unfortunate is laid beneath
the sod of Potter's field, and all the legal
formulas have been observed, the coro
ner .hands all these things over to the
public administrator. The largo num
ber of suicides in this big city, tho mys
terious deaths of unknown men and
women nnd the deaths in the poor gar
rets servo to swell this official’s interest
ing collection of estates and heirlooms to
snch a size that a special man is kept
busy looking after them.
Should any of these articles bo vain-
able they are placed in the office safe or
else sent to a safe deposit company. Bnt
the hoik of the stuff that falls into the
administrator’s hands is of little valne,
consisting mostly of cheap furniture,
clothes, bedding, revolvers, knives and
odds and ends, of which every man pos
sesses his share. These things are sent
to tho storehouse at 6 Duano street, ad-
Joining tho Newsboys’ Lodging house,
and there they accumulate until tho pile
grows too big for the place, when they
are auctioned off to the highest bidder.
, - TUB AUCTION BOOH.
When the reporter entered tho place
the salo was in progress. Tho auc
tioneer’s pulpit liko stand was in tho
middle of the room, and that function
ary, in a silk hat, was deeply engaged in
overcoming tho objections of a poorly
dressed, stout Irish woman to buying a
cheap watch that might have been silver
or steel. The room was filled with a
motley gathering of men and women. It
was a poor looking crowd, although
here and there a scintillating Bpark be
trayed a diamond on the person of a
Chatham street “curiosity” dealer. Many
people who daily pass the cariosity shops
on tlie Bowery have wondered where all
the odds and ends displayed in the win
dows corno from. Had they attended
this auction they would have known.
There were perhaps a dozen of these
dealers present, and they bought largely.
Then there were many women, poorly
dressed creatures, who stopped bidding
when the article passed the dollar point.
Where they came from, or what they
wanted the stuff for, nobody knew save
themselves. The auctioneer got his
money—he didn't care. Tho cariosity
dealers shrugged their shoulders—It was
none of their business. Tho stock of
fered was scattered about tho room. It
included knives, umbrellas, old clothes,
bedsteads, rusty bayonets, billiard balls,
carpenters’ rules, peddlers’ outfits,
chromes, revolvers, choirs, tables, stove
pipes, etc., all mingled in rusty, dusty
confusion. The sale proceeded after
this manner, the auctioneer saying:
“How mach d’ye bid? Forty, forty,
forty—forty-five? Fine silica umbrella.
Maybe a duko owned it; maybe
duchess; maybe a bom stole it. Forty-
fivol Once, twice, down she goes. Mrs.
Mulligan, that’s the name, isn’t it?
Forty-five cents. Now we have lot No.
258—a saber. How mach d’ye”—and
so on.
There was a story connected with
every one of these articles, a romantic
one undoubtedly in many' cases, bnt »o
one there know it or evinced tho least
desire to learn anything abont it
UNKOMANTIO. BIDDERS.
A snit of clothes was held np by. tho
boy.
“How much d'yo hid?”
Thoeo nearest tho stand felt tho cloth
and examined tho clothes carefully, then
a bid waa offered, and another, and so
on until the hammer fell. Mrs. Mulli
gan most own a second hand clothing
store, for sho bought a great deal of
clothing.
“Lot No. 347—ono coot and vest How
much d’ye bid?" camo the monotonous
formula of tho auctioneer.
“Lemma see, cheviot at what? Whafs
it mado of” asked Mrs. Mulligan. She
examined it elosely for a moment with
an eager face. Then she said in a dis
appointed way:
“It’s got a holo in it.”
Yes, sure enough, there was a small
holo in the coat, right nbovo tho upper
untsido pocket. Tho auctioneer pressed
kt* finger on the spot for a moment and
then remarked in a matter of fact voice
“I guess that's where the bullet went
through.”
The coat and vest were sold, and when
some poor fellow buys them ho will
never know that a ballet once pierced
his cost and reached a man's heart.
“Where's lot 380?" asked tho auc
tioneer.
Tho assistant handed np a package
wrapped in a dirty piece of yellow paper.
It was untied, and with a clattering
noise a lot of revolvers and knives fell
out on tho tablo. Big revolvers, little
revolvers, old fashioned ones, self cock
ing affairs, Colts, Smith & Wessons,
bulldogs, American and European makes,
daggers, bowio knives, stilettos, bright,
rusty, all kinds and in all conditions,
and the sight was enough to send a chill
through a man. Tho people who were
gathered in that room, however, did not
soe anything suggestive in this, and of
fered their bids on each weapon as it
was pat up as though it were an every
day occurrence with them.
Then pawn tickets, for small amounts
generally, were sold for twenty-five and
thirty cents apiece. When the last ar
ticle had been sold the auctioneer said:
“The sale is ended, ladies and gentle
men. Thank you for your courtesy. I
hope to see you soon again.”—New York
Bun.
Enveloped Enveloped!
We have just received a big Job lot of
manilla envelopes of lice, quality, that
were bought at a bargain, and we can
print them for you with card, etc., cheap-
er than you can buy them plain by retail
anywhere. They are more durable than
white, and are good enough for all busi
ness purposes, and are much cheaper.

Not tbo Bight Word.
“No." said Bertha sadly, “ ‘pain’
doesn’t express what I suffer at these
times—It Is simply ‘anguish!’ I know I
ought to consult a physician, but
dread It so! I can’t bring myself to do
it. Then, too, 'female diseases’ always
wemed so Indelicate to me, 1 can’t bear
to have any one know or speak of mine."
“Yea, dear,” answered Edith, "but
don’t you know yoo can be^eured with
out going to a physician? Send to any
*" pfglat for a bottle of Dr. Plereo’s Fa-
...to Prescription, and take It, and I
warrant you'll feel better In a very few
daya."
The manufacturers warrant the medi
cine, too. They guarantee It to do ex
actly what it claims, viz: to cure leucnr-
rhoa, painful Irregularltlee, excessive
flowing,' prolapsus, Inflammation or
uloeratlon of tho utorni, end the innu
merable other “female weaknesaea." It
so etrengtaens and builds np the uter
ine system and nerves that worn-out,
run-down wives and mother* feel rejuve
nated after taking it, and they are eared
the painful embarrassment and expense
of a surgical examination and a tedious,
tiresome treatment

The Queen Pawned Her Jewel*.
Queen Isabella, of Spain, pawned Iict
jewels to raise money to fit out the ex
pedition that discovered the new world.
Her sacriiice was not greater than is
made by many women of America, who
deny themselves many things in order
to have money to buy Dr. Pierce’s Gol
den Medical Discovery for their sick
husbands or children. This “Discovery”
is more than important to them, than
tho one made in 140*2. For all diseases
of the Langs, Liver, Throat, or Stomach
the “Discovery” is a sovereign remedy,
vine
A trial convinces, its continued nse
cases. It purifies the blood, invigorates
the liver and strengthens and builds np
the whole system. Guaranteed to bene
fit or cure in every case, or money paid
for it returned.
Up to date 718,988 marks have been
subscribed toward erecting a memorial
church In honor of the Emperor Wil
liam I.
A DUTY TO YOURSELF.
It Is surprising that people will nse a
common ordinary pill when they can se
cure a valuable English one for the
same money. Dr. Acker’s English
pills are a positive cure for sick head
ache and all liver troubles. They are
small, sweet, easily taken, and, do not

the lamps they are made

right. Draft contributes to
proper combustion; - that
makes light. They improve
the light of a lamp.
But they cost a dealer
three times as much as

they do not break, he is apt
to be anxious lest they stop
