Excitements Incident to Life in a New
Yoi-k Elat—A Lady’s Experiences.
They “come as the winds come when
forests are rended, come as the waves
come when navies are stranded,” and
each individual in the multitude seems to
have some distinguishing peculiarity in
his purpose or his method of attaining it.
Broadly, however, they may justly be
classified in five grand divisions—ped-
dlers, beggars, thieves, swindlers and so-
licitors of favors. The margins of these
divisions are necessarily ill defined, for
the reason that individual representatives
of either are so apt temporarily, under
the temptation of opportunity, to merge
themselves into the other classes. The
ostensible peddlers are, of course, by far
the most numerous. There were regis-
tered at the marshal’s office during the
past year 1,512 new licenses issued to
this class of hawkers and 468 renewals,
the former at $1 each and the latter
twenty-five cents. But the marshals say
that there is a great deal of neglect to
renew the licenses of merchandise ped-
dlers, either because they drift away
from the city or choose to run the risk of
being fined $10 for peddling without a
license rather than pay twenty-five cents
for its renewal. It is estimated that
there are not less than 2,000 of these
baskets carrying hawkers, besides whom
there are many who conceal their wares
in their pockets. A bright little lady
who recently moved into an up town flat
on the west side was requested to “keep
tab” on her invaders for five days, and
at the end of that time reported:
‘ ‘If there are, as you say, only about
2,000 peddlers infesting New York, then
they must be badly distributed, and I feel
that I have had more than my share, for
no less than thirty-seven have rung my
bell this week. And such a variety of
things they had! It would astonish you.
I had no idea of half the tilings being
peddled that I know now are sold in this
way in New York. Why, they included
cravats, suspenders, shoe laces, cheap
jewelry, soap, rugs, matches, blacking,
cheap candies, brushes, needles, tape,
thread, buttons, garters, furniture polish,
gas burners, plaster of paris thingmum-
mies, a sure cure for corns and bunions,
stationery, a catarrh remedy, felt slip-
pers, bamboo wristlets, a lot more things
that I neglected to put down, and, would
you believe it, liquors and lottery tickets?
Nearly all the peddlers looked as if they
were Jews, but those vending the last
two things I name were not. The liquors
were sold by a stout, elderly, good hu-
mored Irish woman, who carried quite a
lot of little flasks of gin, whisky, and, I
suppose, other liquors, though she said
those two were most in demand among
the ladies who bought from her. She
had them in a basket, and said she had
built up quite a good family trade, upon
which she supported her husband, who
was disabled by rheumatism, and her
two younger children. The lottery tick-
ets were sold by a lame man, who
seemed to be English. He assured me
that he sold a great many lucky tickets,
and I would have a good chance to draw
$300,000 if I bought a ticket for the next
drawing, but he couldn’t persuade me.
Then he said that if I would like to try a
little ‘policy, ’ as a great many ladies did,
co the dead quiet,’ he would come
around whenever I wished, get my num-
bers, make my plays and fetch my
money to me. Of course I didn’t. I
am not such a fool.
“The next numerous class were the
beggars. In some way, heaven and they
only knew how—the janitor says he
doesn’t—nineteen of them, men and wo-
men, old any young, got up to my door
in those five days. I began by giving a
few pennies to nearly every one that
came; they looked so miserable that I
couldn’t help it; but one thing happened
that rather hardened my heart on the
second day. An awfully ragged young
fellow said he was starving, and really
looked as if he was. I thought the
quickest way to help him would be to
give him a good big ham sandwich, so I
told him to wait at the open door while I
stepped into the kitchen and got it for
him, and he seemed very grateful. I
was back with it in a few moments, and
he, thanking me effusively, turned away
toward the stairs. Just as he did so I
caught a bright metallic gleam at the
back of his neck, and it flashed on me at
once that that was the silver head of
Jack’s Sunday cane that had been in the
stand inside the private hall near the
door. On the impulse of the moment I
sprang forward and clutched it. Sure
enough it was. I hauled it out from
under the tramp’s coat, where he had
poked it up, and took it into the kitchen
to wash it, while he plunged down stairs
without either of us saying a word.
“Another tramp, a great big fellow,
with a most villainous countenance, when
I told him I had nothing for him, said he
would come in and see, and began to
force his way in. I was frightened, for
I was all alone, but did not let him see
that I was. I just called out as loud as
I could, ‘Jack, come here, quick!’ and
that big tramp made such a scramble and
tumble in getting clown stairs that I
could not help laughing. There was a
woman, rather decently dressed, who
wanted ten cents* to help her get home to
her sick husband in Cohoes, and she was
so ashamed of having to ask charity, but
her pocket had been picked of all the lit-
tle money she had. I gave it to her, and
Jack said when I told him that I was a
little fool, for the game dated as far back
as the time when there was a horse ferry
to Brooklyn at least.
Advice to Mothers.

Benews Her Youn.
Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay
Co., Iowa, tells the following remarkable
story, the truth of which is vouched for
by the residents of the town: “I am 73
years old, have been troubled with kid-
neys complaint and lamenses for many
years; could not dress myself "without
help. Now I am free from all pain and
sorencse, and am able to do all my own
housework. I owe my thanks to Electric
Bitters for having renewed my youth, and
removed completely all disease and pain.”

call. "When the convention meets Craw-
ford will set up his claim to the right to
preside over the deliberations of that
body. There is no doubt that his claim
will be sustained by a majority of the
delegates assembled, for the Mayer-Craw-
ford faction are going to see that they
capture a majority of the wards at the
primaries to be held on the 8th. The
adjournment of the Turner h .ll conven-
tion sine die and the plan of riding into
McDonald’s camp under the disguise of
endorsing his Call in the interests of
harmony was a slick move, and entirely
wortby of the gentlemen who planned
and executed it. It will place them in a
position to accomplish their objects, and
will arm them with such authority as
will enable them to stand by wnat they
do. I know it is said that this is not a
Crain and Spencer fight, but wait
until the cerds are played, and I think
you will see that it is. I think Mr.
Crain’s friends have made a mistake in
abandoning this fight. I arn a supporter
of Mr. Crain and I have done all that I
could to have those with whom I have
talked see this, but have not succeeded.
All there is to do now is to bide our
time.”

The met Md C. M. Guinard and
asked him how the Boat club building
committee was getting along. At the
last meeting of the Boat club association
a committee of three was appointed to
act with the committee appointed by the
directory. This committee consisted of
Messis. Penland, Guinard and Aiken
from the membership. The committee
from the directory consisted of Messis.
Allan, Allen and Cohn. To the “ ?’s ”
inquiry Mr. Guinard replied:
“I tell you that committee has accom-
plished a wonderful amount of work.
They are entitled to the thanks of the as-
sociation for having secured a contract
for a boat-house that, while it comes
within the limited means at the command
of the executive board, is all that, the
most exacting member could desire. The
committee from the membership, after
thoroughly investigating the work done
by the committee from the direct->ry, will
report their unqualified approval of the
committee’s work and the actions of the
directory. There is no reason why there
should not be harmony in the clu \ On
the contrary, there is every reason why
there should be harmony. It the member-
ship had been aware of the work the di-
rectory and the building committee were
accomplishing there could not possibly
have been the least dissatisfaction.
Both the committee and the directory
have worked faithfully, diligently ano
intelligently, and it is not too mud) to
say that the interests of the association
could not have been in safer hands.”

“Yes, I think the amount of money
necessary to maintain a first-class band at
the Beach will be raised,” said a Market
street merchant to the “?” this morn-
ing. “This thing of maintaining a band
at. the Beach during the summer is some-
thing that interests, directly or indirectly,
everyman in the city of Galveston, and,
in fact, every woman as well. What is
the use of talking about making this a
summer resort if the very first requisite
of a resort—plenty of good music—is
omitted? Do our people imagine that
visitors will come from a distance to see
the beach and listen to what the sad sea
is saying? Only the other day Mr. Faulk-
ner, general passenger agent of the
Texas Central, wrote to Colonel Sinclair
asking what attractions there would be
at the Beach during the Austin drill.
What did he want to know for? Because
he was going to offere a cheap excursion
ticket from Austin to Galveston and re-
turn so that those who visited Austin
could take a run down here. Mr. Faulk-
ner knew it would be useless to offer cheap
excursion tickets unless there was some-
thing here to draw a crowd. Hence he
wanted to know what attractions there
would be. There you have it in a nut
shell. If the business men and property
owners m Galveston will make a united
and liberal effort toward making this an
attractive resort it can be done and
thousands of visitors will be here every
summer. The city council should not
hesitate to make a liberal appropriation.
The matter is now in the proper hands
and I think will be attended to as it
should. We will have music at the beach.”
