To the Editor Of the Globe-Repub!ic:
would like to say few words on the
two last lines of your article "Idleness," in
the last SUNDAY GLoBE-REPUBLIC-"and the
time is coming when, if a man will not
work, neither shall he eat"
1t should have read: The time is coming
when, if a man does work, he shall not eat
for that is what is coming; in fact, it is al
most that now.

To the Editor of the Giobe-Reprblic:
The Bowery is great pl,ce. All sides
of life can be seen there sunshine and
shadow follow each other, and in fact it is
a world in itself. Dime Museums, cheap
theaters and variety shows are in protu-
sion, and stranger would wonder how
they all pay. The great eas; side of the
city is proud of its population and when
they turn out, the Democratic promenade
is crowded. Bar-rooms, ,awn-broker's
shops snd eating-houses fill lp the vacant
spots, and all do their quota of business.
Going into 259 Bowery a few nights
ago with friend, was so much aston
ished with the magnitude of what / saw
and found out that determined to write
up a description OF the place for those
who never saw big things inthe shape of
eating-houses. Brilliantly Illuminated by
electric and gas lights, the tsbles were all
filled by persons enjoying the good things
of life. And what q crowd. Ladies and

Slashing Runaway.

There was lovely runaway on West Mair
street, at l 80 Saturday afternoon. John Wood
ward, OF fremont, drove in with a horse anc
sleigh. One side of the shafts dropped, nearly
in front of the Western House, and the bors.
ran, striking another sleigh on the mex
square and tearing loose with only the shaft
dangling at his heels. Turning north at Mar.
ket street the frightened animal dashed dag
onally across the street toward Mr.. G. 8. Foos!
horse and sleigh standing in front O.
the Lagonda Bank, and making {
great leap landed squarely across his back
The Foos horse fell with the other on toE
and in the kicking that followed the sleigh
was 80 badly wrecked as to be useless. OFF,
Ger Wilson took Woodvard's horse to Grego
rvs stable, not much the worse for the run
Neither was Mr.. Foos's horse much injured
Had he not been there the runaway woult
have dashed hesd-frst through the plat'

their escorts were off to themselves. whilst
the balance were made up of merchants,
policemen, teamsters, and toilers of every
description sitting side by side. Wealth
and honest poverty were on equal terms,
and all seemed happy as June bugs.
1t was learned that twenty-five thousand
people are fed in this establishment every
week, and the average receipts are 5000
per day. They use weekly $500 worth Of
meats half dozen barrels of fish, Is bar
rels of -four, and 55 tons of coal. 1t
takes rs employees to wait upon the people.
The weekly salary of these attendants
amounts in total to 800, and every
thing is run like clock-work There
are two boilers OF Is and 40
horsepower, which supplies al! the steam
necessary for heating the premises and
running the laundry. Everything is done
by steam and machinery, even the dishes
are washed by steam. Oysters are washed
by the same process, and three sets OF
bakers are kept busy night and day baking
bread and making pastry.
The scene at early daylight is worth
looking at Big trucks loaded with early
vegetables and meats are constantly ar
irving. Everything is weighed and let
down by the elevator, where three men are
constantly employed in cutting meats.
Eight years ago there came to this vii
lage from New Orleans, young man
uamed Michael F. Lyons. He was not
blessed by the golden calf, nor did he
have even any clippings from its limbs.
He was energetic and possessed a
strong will-power. Commencing in a
subordinate position in another establish
ment, he saved little money, which he
placed where it would do the most good
in the place above described; and from a
modest commencement he has made q
mountain of wealth out of mole-hole Of
uncertainty, and is now looked upon as
one of the solid men of the metropolis
being booked as worth fourth of a mil
lion. Mr.. Lyons is ably seconded by Mr.
Arthur Schuman, young Benedict late
of Ohio, who attends principally to the
financial department The proprietor i:
beginning to take things easy now, b!
making occasional trips South and to the
Ocean Grove where he owns a nice cot
tage. He is generous to fault, and de,
serves all he has made by pluck and per
severance; and it only goes to show tha
change of base is sometimes best.

lady must remain Mary Hoerieht Eder,
with as much emphasis on the Hoericht
surname as she and her parents saw fit to
insist on in maintaining American school
girls rights to choose their lite-partners in
the streets.
The divorcce was not granted. 1t might
have been granted in some other state;
but there were no laws for it in the state
of New York. 1t might do no good to
keep such people married; but married
they were, and there was no help for it in
New York
But what made this case possibleP Free
dom This is "the land OF the free" &c.
Hurrah for freedom! freedom Of courtship,
freedom of marriage, freedom of divorce.
Little schoolgirl Hoericht, in short dress
and panties, must have her rights of free
dom like any other American citizen.
Groceryman Eder must have his sovereign
American privilege of choosing wife
wherever he could find girl willing. If
he was detrauded OF his right to court her
at her home or at the school-house, what
law of the state, or bylaw of society, or
constitutional amendment of the family
was there to prohibit him as free Ameri-
can voter from making love to her in the
streets2 And if the American schoolgirl
in short skirts and panties, as aforesaid
could not be trusted to fall in love where
she pleased, without first consulting her
parents as to the propriety of so falling
where, in the name Of the star-spangled
banner--long may it wavel-is our boasted
American freedom OF the young hearts

Besides, and moreover, if the free Amer

tailed OF his grand prerogative and per
quisite Of marrying fifteen year ole
schoolgirls to thirty-fve-ditto grocerymer
who come to him and say they want to bt
married-and have the money to pay fol

The trouble about the telegram sent to
Akron inviting the G. A. R. to meet here
next year seems to have been that it was not
delivered, lying in the office at Akron un-
opened until it was too late to do anything.
The dispatch was addressed tc a Columbus
railroad man, member of the Mccoy Post,
who had interested himself in behalf Of
Springfield, and as he was not found in time
the telegram was held, although addressed
also to Commander Penfeld. Some OF our

Friday afternoon Mr.. George Delo, who
is employed in the setting-up department OF
P. P. Mast & Co., met with a painful scci-

out, and he was making another fire. He
poured some turpentine on the wood and
then set fire to it. The turpentine blazed up
and the flames forced open the stove
door, Mr. Delo had the can in
his hand and the liquid in
this also caught fire. His band was terribly
burned and his whiskers burned from his
face. He was removed to his home on West
Columbia street, and with proper care will
soon be about again.
