Virginia. 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!

Some Wattraus have been sold in Lon don at good prices. “L'Occupation Selou l’Age” brought t'5,400, and “L’Ac cord Parfoil'' £3,075. 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."

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.

But they cost a dealer three times as much as common chimneys, and, as they do not break, he is apt to be anxious lest they stop his trade. Diminished sales and less profit are not agreeable to him.
