Everybody who walks BROADWAY mas peen
Restored nv the army OF hana-p1!i olstrsDu-
sors who infeat that thoroughiafc almost
from end to end, and who thrust upon the
,,ohanny pedestrian printed announce
mems that Sloggin sells four-dollar suits OF
..lothes for two dollars and a half. Their
rrimv hands and infeyible cheek have long
been familiar, and so everybody was sur
prised one morning about a month ago to
sec the distributors each with big bandage
around his right hand, and with n change
for the better in his manner; he no longer
absolutely insisted on crushing the. hand
bill between his Victims reluctant fingers,
but hastily drew back at the first sign OF
ilnwillingness to receive it. This favorable
change was q pleasant mystery. Graauaii!'
however, the distributors dropped their
bandages and resumed their old habits, and
the annoyance became as great rs ever.
While carefully investigating the circum-
stances attending the death OF small boy
who was crushed under bale OF paper
stock, in front o! an Ann-Street warehouse,
n Sun reporter learned that the fatal bale
WAS one Of q large lot OF fifty-four received
in one consignment from Major Philip \.
Scbottcuhn, q poor but well-known resi-
dent OF the Fifteenth Ward. Knowing that
Major Schottgubn was not a man OF large
capital. the reporter sought him for IN en-
PLANTATION Of his extraordinary accumulation
OF ,,aper-stock, and found also, where he
least expected to, an explanation Of the
mysterious bandages. The Major said:

OF a trial for murder, and that would have
taken time that I couldn't afford to spare
Then thought might walk down town b!
the wav of south Fifth avenue and weS
Broadway, and so avoid them altogether
but I didn't fancy the idea OF running ava,
from ANYBODY, so gave that up. At last
invented the t-Handbill Circular Saw
which is simple and effective. [The blajol
here produced the instruments and explained
its use.
wYou see, this saw reyolyes on spindle
which is held between the two middle fin
gers OF the right hand. \ belt runs up thu
