HOW TWO YOUNG FELLOWS MAN AGED TO EXIST IN NEW YORK. - Twelv. finttnti » Weak Dow Nut Oo Vary Fur III a nig City, but Tho*. Tara Economical Mon Mode Their Money Oo n Pretty Good Dlatnnco for n Tima. A magazine writer, who claimed to have investigated the subject, recently stated that there are several hundreds of young and old bachelors in this town / who spend all the way from $10,000 to $70,000 a year for their personal comfort. There is a certain delirious excitation even in reading the details of how these fortune favored ohaps get rid of the time and enrich the community. To an Ingenions youth who earns twenty dol lars a week, for instance, the account of ho w a $75,000 per annum bachelor wards off ennui and retains his flesh reads like a saturnalia. I know tho'offect of all this on a $20 a w^ek man, because I inysqlf belong to the $70 a week class. Twonty dollars a week is about $1,000 a your, and 1 have had a lot of fun out of life for the past three years on that sum. I know a lot of bthor fellows who do the same thing, for $20 a week is about the avoruge in- como of half the neat looking chaps wearing chrysanthemums pinned to ker sey top coats that you run ucross in the course of a day. Whon 1 came to this town from a farm in wostern Now York, I thought tho man who offered me a permanent job as salesman at a salnry of $12 a week was widely extravagant, for 1 had already learned some scrimping lossons. It did not tako me long to And out my mistake, and so 1 devised a system of exiwndi- tures, and though in live yearoa my in come has increased, as I have told you, 1 have stuck to it ever since. Here it is: 1 discovered to my complete sattBfno- tlon that a single man can't get any sort of nourishment, comfort,or repose in a boarding house in New York city for less than oight dollars a week. Even the eight dollar varioty of New York board is not in all respects dosirabla, and when somo dismal experiences hod hammered this knowlodge into mo I set about to find a better scheme. In tho samo store with me was another young follow, who was contributing hlB colos sal Intellect and energies for twelve dol lars a week, and wo entered into a con spiracy to shake off forever tho land- -ladies who wore getting most of our pay. Wo decided to hire a room together and to get our meals in pot lflck fashion — 1 "hustle for our grub on tho outaldo," as my chum put it. After a pretty care ful soarch wo hit upon a largo, oomfort- ablo ground floor rear room in tho homo of an elderly widow in Harlem, whom we soon jollied into tho boltof that we were the snlt of the earth, with the re sult that she couldn't take too good care of us, We ugreed to pay her flvo dollars n week for thut room, which took $2.50 Team from s Piwc«nd»nt of Hero®*. It was midnight and cold. A few shivering newsboys close by Pie alley hung round a chestnnt vender's stand like flies round the bnng of a molasses barrel. The few passers hurried along with their coat collars turned dp and eyes straight ahead. Trade wasn't good. Suddenly a heartrending shriek broke the Btillness, followed by piteous sob bing. The chestnut man, wringing hit hands like a maniac, hung over his over turned stand. Sparks and glowing coals streamed across the sidewalk. A couple of boys shot out of sight around the nearest corner. The sobs grew louder and mingled with imprecations in an unknown tongue. Like magic a crowd gathered. A policeman sauntered over. A herdio dashed up. Still the sobs burst from the bearded face of the poor for eigner. Some of the crowd laughed. The herdio man asked him why he didn't chase the gamins and give them a sound thrashing. He had never thought of that, but at the word started after his tormentors, still sobbing. It was too Into. He carao back, righted bis capsizod apparatus, scraped up the chestnuts and replacod them over the little fire that remained, crying all the while ltko a whipped schoolboy. The crowd scattered, the hordic driver drove on, the sobs of the chestnut man grew less and less until the frosty air turned them into a chatter. “Them Dagoes ain’t wuth nothin,'' said one young fellow to another ns they hurried down the street. “They bawl like babies.” And yet Cmsar's legionaries and Gari baldi's riflemen were of that ruco.—Bos ton Journal. A Troublesome Girl Saint. The state and general governments are very much alarmed over the Indian troubles in tho western part of this state, in the Sierra Mod re mountains, Ac cording to the reports which have reached here during the lust few days, the Yaqul Indians havo boon greatly aroused by the wholesale massacre of their neighbor and friendly tribe at To- mnehie by government troopB. The penceablo Yaquis in tho valleys of So nora and Chihuahua are leaving their farms and ranches, and with Ihelr wives and children are gathering at an ap pointed rendezvous in the mountains north of Trinidad, where they have dis covered another patron saint in the per son of a beautiful Mexican girl named Anita Iloca, whose father is a shepherd. St. Anita urges tho Indian worshipers to tnnke war upon tho Moxicnns, and to reclaim the rich Moxican lands in the Yaqul valley which tho government has taken from them. There are soveral hundred Indian braves and about 200 Mexicans now preparing to begin their depredations and war of extermination. They are nearly all well armed, and are expected to begin tliolr campaign as soon as winter sets in,—Cor. St. Louis Globe- Democrat. of my wages. Whon we had stuck up on the walls the oablnet photos of all the girls we know, and bad distributed ikni the kniokknaoks which these girls had given us, the room looked simply im mense. The eating problem was then to be overcome. After sundry experiences we adjusted It on this basis: Breakfast of rolls and good ooffee in a little shop a block from where wo lived; 15 cents; luncheon of a sandwich, gloss of milk and piece of pie, in a lunchroom near tho store, 15 conts; first doss entire din ner, from soup to French coffee, in a neat little obscure restaurant wbloh we ran across, 85 cents. Total tor day’s eating, 45 cents; for the week (of six .working duys), $8.80. On Sunday we stuok to the week day programme as far as breakfast and luncheon were con cerned, and paid fifty cents for a good Sunday dinner. Thus a week's good, substantial food costa mo $4.70, which,- with the $2.50 room rent, amounts to $7.20. It costs me sixty cents a week to rido to and from my work. Figuring at ten conts a weok for my Press, seventy cents is added to the $7.20. My smoking is oonfined to a couple of pipes every even ing, and n ten cent packago of tobacco sous me through the week. Total, eight dollars. 1 have a permanent arrangement with ft Ueltio lady to do my washing for fifty cents a week, and I hnve my collars nnd enffs polished at a laundry at a weokly outlay of twenty-five cento. Total, $8.75. Once every week I invest one dollar for two balcony seats at a first class theater—$9,75. I invariably lay aside two dollars u week for raiment of all sorts, fixed on this basis: Two dollars a week is $104 a year. I have two suits of clothes every twelve months, each suit costing rie t wenty dollars, and I can get natty clothes made to order at that fig ure. 1 don't get a new overcoat every winter, but when 1 do I get a good, well made heavy one for fifteen dollars. Cull it fifty-five dollars. Two pairs of shoes at four dollars a pair get me through a year, and two hats, also at four dollars each, ore my allowance for the twelve monthB. Two pairs of gloves a winter, at one dollar a pair, keep my hands sheltered from the blasts, and eight fifty cent cravats are enough for the year. This figures up seventy-seven dollars, and the remaining twenty-seven of my dress allowance of $104 a year are spent in collars, cuffs, underwear and soon. The $75,000 a year bachelor will be astotaished'lo read that 1 am frequently referred to as a man whq, “looks as though he had just jumped out of a bandbox. ‘ When I have luid aside the two dol lars a week for dress 1 have just $8.25 left for hilarity and tempestuous plung ing into the boisterous stream of New York life. It very frequently happens that 1 have some of this still in my right hand pantaloons pocket when I get through the week. That’s the way I live. I do it because it’s a case of must, althongh I never have a poverty stricken sensation.—New York Press. More Canadians Here Than In Canada. There is trouble in the Young Men’s Conservative club of Toronto. Presi dent Armstrong recently mode some re- to the Conservative marks derogatory government as to its polioy, wbloh al lowed wholesale immigration of Cana dians to the United States, and said Canada was being annexed to the repub- " ‘ ' ‘ ‘ T! Ho by job lots. This led to charges that he was not loyal to the Conservative party, and at a mooting today the club was asked to pass a resolution expressing its disapproval of Armstrong's views. In the disoussion that followed it was asserted that there were now more na tive born Canadians in the United States than in Canada, and more in Chicago than in Toronto. The resolution was defeated.—Cor. Chicago News-Record. A Prelate'* Wicked Brother. It la rumorod that one of the brigands who have been making havoc in the Campagna is a brother of tho vicar gon- oral. Not long ago he headed a party of dosperndoes that attacked tl;o vehicle of a church dignitary on tho outskirts of Rome. Tho divine was horribly fright ened, but was reassured by the highway man, who declared ho would not harm so well moaniug a nuin ns himself. In a short while monsignoro and the masked man were in deep conversation, the former having been completely won ovor by tho distinguished manners of the brigand. A few days later monsi* gnore received a courteous note explain' iug that a fur lined clonk Was needed, and stated that it might be left at a cer tain spot.—-Baltimore American. Two Cri'uii'kt of Mump Collectors. Thu two greatest stump collectors in tiio world were M. Philippa Ferrari, son of tliu late Dneliessu de Gallium, and the czar, whoso collection is said by experts to to wortl: 8,IH)0,000 francs. He began to make it when lie was exsrowitz, und lias bosh adding to it ever since. M. Ferrari, who cast away a fortune, or rather several fortunes which ho con ceived to he ill gotten and said he had no right to inherit, hoards stamps as misers hoard money. Ho has quantities, which he says will bo valuable to liis heirs should he live to a great age.— London Truth. A Small Newsboy and a Big Fireman Each Undergo an Oparation. Late one evening a man waa seated in the receiving room of one of the dispen saries in the lower part of the city. He was talking to a young surgeon who had charge of the room, and the conversa tion turned to the snbject of the courage shown by young folks as compared with that of adults. It’s all bosh,” said the visitor, “about a child standing pain better than a man. Why, it stands to reason” Hullol” says the surgeon. “What's this?" “It’s me.” The visitor turned and saw two bare footed nrchins, one about eight, and the other perhaps a year younger. The elder came In carrying his companion, whom he carefully luid on the lounge. Then he raised himself and said: “Me and Dannie 're newsboys, and just now he stepped on a boated bottle In de park end cat Ills foot,” 'And you carried him all the way from the park here on your back?" "Yep." The doctor had washed the blood from the foot and disclosed a deep, ragged cut about three inches long. He carefully washed and dressed it and was about to thread his needle to take a few needed stitches when the patient spoke up for the first time: * ‘Are you gotn to sew it, doc?” “Yes, my little man. It can't heal without it.” "Oh-h-h-ht” He lay hack, nnd after one suppressed groan the tears which trickled dciwn his cheeks alone told the story of the pain. The sole of the foot of an ordi nary New- York newsboy is not a very easy thing for even the sharpest needle to pierce, and the pain of the operation was much increased. While it wns go ing on a member of the New York fire patrol entered and sitting himself in a chair waited with ovident Impatience for his turn to arrive. The sewing fin ished, the foot was bandaged, and the young Styrax took up his burden. "How far have you to go?" asked the doctor. “Over to Oliver street." It was a full half mile to Oliver street, but the youth took up bis burden cheer fully. "Well, sir, what can I do for you?” sqld the surgeon to the man. The pntrolman was a magnificent specimen of physical manhood, tall, broad and muscular. “Well, you see, I was hitchin up the hosses, and tlioy started mid throw mo Sown. 1 fell on my hand there,” lie added ns lie held out the member. It was considerably swollen. To find the oause of the swelling the doctor began to run his fingers along the Injured part, but he had hardly begun when his wrist was seized in a grip like iron. "Hold on there, doo; that hurts!” “Of course it does, hut I havo to find out what’s tho matter.” , Again he tried, and again ho was pre vented, “How do yon think I can fix your hand when you won’t let me find out what’s the matter with it?” I know that, but I can't stand it," he ■ A The Title* ot Book*. A hook title, like a woman's face, ought to to pretty. And if a bewitch ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a alight' cariosity Tonsing cloudiness of meaning can to thrown over it, so much the totter. Readers delight to to half taken in by books, jnst as men do by women, so long—and this is a most im portant proviso—so long as their vanity is not piquod. The object of a title should to to seem eimple, artless, naive and quite naturally charming, but this— as in the case of so many of its feminine analogues—is often to to attained only by the most consummate art,—Block- wood's Magazine. Mrs. Lease** Complaint Affsinnt Women. In the course of an interview concern ing her candidacy for a seat in the United States senate Mrs. M. E, Lease gave utterance to the following: “The strange part of this all is that of all the congratulatory letters ! hnve received not one of them is from a woman. I am the only woman ever suggested for the office of United Stntes senator, and it is very funny that none of my congratula tions should come from women.”—Kan sas City Journal. “Hold his arm, a couple of you,” said the surgoon to the atteudants, who had come in, attracted by the noise. The man's arm was held, und it was found that the hand had been merely sprained. —New York Tribuue. 11i« King and the Seldllts Powder# On the first consignment of seidlitz powders to the.oapltal of Delhi the monarch was deeply interested in the ac counts of the refreshing box. A box was brought to the king in full court, and the interpreter explained to his maj esty how it should be used. Into a gob let he put the twelve blue papers, and having added water, the king drank it off. This was the alkali, and the royal conntenance expressed no sign of satis faction. It was then explained that in the combination of the two powders lay the luxury, and the twelve white pow ders were quiokly dissolved in water, and os eagerly swallowed by his ma jesty. With a shriek that will to remem bered while Delhi is numbered with the kingdoms the monarch rose, stared, ex ploded and in his full agonies screamed “Hold me down," then rushing from the throne fell prostrate on the floor. There he lay during the long continued effer vescence of the compound, spurting like 10,000 pennyworths of imperial pop, and believing himself in tho agonies of death, a melancholy and humiliating proof that kings are mortal.—Indian Mirror.
