some Wee Cenvalescenta
1t was raining hard yesterday when "THr
EVENING WoRLD's physician" started yut
under the friendly protection Of q large um-
brella, to visit his little patients.
The two keenan, children, Of No. 8 Batavia
street, were first revisited, and were found
somewhat improved, due largely to the
change Of food.
At the last visit the Doctor found the chill.
dren living on milk of very bad quality. and
80 prescribed Mellin's Infant Food, a consid-
cradle quantity Of which had been donated
by the manufacturers for this undertaking.
Mrs. Keenan, and husband, with seven
children. live in two rooms. and have seen
many dark, dreary days. She has had great
difficulty in collecting small amounts Of
money due her for laundry work for appar-
emily well-to-do people. One family in good
circumstances has owed Her Is cents for
nearly o year.
For days." she says. 1.-THE children have
not had a bite to eat, while respectable people
were owing me money"
Among several patients revisited yesterday
was little stevie Hayes, of Sc Cherry street.
He is especially mentioned because of the
marked improvement, showing the result Of
timely treatment. He will probably be en-
tirely well in a few days.
1t is the Doctors intention to visit each pa
tent until we'll enough to be discharged.
Another mother in the same house asked
the reporter if the doctor would please see
her child. The request was granted with
pleasure. This was q little girl four years
old, who had had a cough for O long time.
The father, who is an engineer, had been out
of employment for a long time, and was con-
vices. But he has within two weeks OBJ
tained O position, and with this temporary
help will doubtless be able to" get on his
feet again" Everything about the apartment
gave evidence of better times in the past.
The physician while at 100 Cherry street
was requested to see q child on the top floor.
but this baby was found to be under the
skilful treatment Of q physician whom the

WoRLD physician notes that the people are

At 289 Front street reporter and physician
CROPPED their way through ~pitch-dark halls
and up rickety, tu~mble-down stairs to the
tor, floor of the house. No children there
perhaps they were too late, because it seemed
impossible that children could live in such q
place a week without sickening and
dying. Sinks were leaking and running over
floors, and vermln and disease held undis-
puted sway. Such a state of things should be
improved, but who will do it?
THE EVENING WORLD, on behalf of tired
mothers and sick babies, thanks Posts Rock
away line for a package of passes on theiI
steamers. They will be distributed where
they will do the most good.

49'S TROUBLES NOT OVER.

Many of tho Local Assemblies still Oppose
Quinn, and n Split Is Threatened.
The factional troubles in District Assembly
No. 40 seem likely to disrupt that organiza-
ton.
A circular issued by the Chairman of the
Executive Board, calling upon the local Us.
semblies to send to the District meetings new
delegates who favor Master Workman Quinn,
has caused increased opposition and much
adverse comment.
One leader said to-day that the locals would
not send new delegates. They are satisfied
with their present representatives and are as
much opposed to the present officers of No.
40 as the delegates who oppose Quinn.
No. 40 will meet next Sunday, when it is
likely the decision of the General Executive
Board sustaining Quinn will be read.

The Little Cottage by the Sea Whore Gen
Garfield Died.

The little cottage by the sea at Long
long Branch. which was made so famous by
the death of q President within its environs,
has not been changed in the least since Gen.
Garfeld's death.
1t has not even received a new coat of
paint, and the dull wood color and red trim
mings are becoming duller every day.
The cottage is at present occupied by G.
T., Sands. of New York, and his family. The
lawn surrounding it is we'll kept. and the old
road, on which hundreds of willing hands
the ties and rails over which the wounded
Presidents car was rolled, is in excellent
condition.
Strangers to the East who visit Long
Branch never fail to take n look at the cot
tage, and to many of them a walk up the
road is equally pleasing, tor it recalls a very
attractive pl ase of the couutry's devotion
shown its suffering President.

A Prize Conductor on tie Third Avenue
Surface Railway.

The Third avenue surface railroad COM
pany has put n most startling and perplexing
thing before the public.
1t is n cross-eyed conductor, who chews
gum numerically.
No L" ~deadheads " get on his car q second
time, for it is impossible to escape being no
ticed by Mt least one of his eyes, and this
makes him n valuable man in the service.
Several people boarded his CIR at the same
time the o~therNlay and seated themselves as
best they could. 1t was amusing to see them
when the conductor started to collect their
fair. Each thought the conductor was look
ing his or her way and all held out their
fares ut the same time, smiling at the ridicu-
lous side OF their confusion.

Gentlemnnly Ambulance Driver Elliot
Much Missed Mt the Park.

About six months ago a tall, well-formed
gentleman, who spoke with a slight English
accent, applied for and received the position
of driver for the Central Park ambulance.
In q short time he had made himself invalu-
able, by reason of his efficient services, com-
bined with a thorough knowledge of medi-
cine, he having admitted that he had passed
examination in an English medical college,
which qualified him for practice in that line.
Elliot, for that was the name he gave,
worked hard and faithfully. Any accident
which occurred in the Park received prompt
and efficient attention at his hands, and
many people in this city who have been in
jured in collisions between carriages or from
runaway horses owe much TO Elliot for his
medical services.
Last Friday morning Elliot failed to re.
port for duty, which caused some surprise,
as he was always so prompt, but not until
the next day was any uneasiness felt.
On that day Capt. Beatty sent a messenger
to the house where Elliot lived, and ascer-
tsined that he had not been home for two
nights, Ind since then all trace OF him has
been lost.
Elliot was unmarried. and. being Of q fru-
gal disposition, it is the generally accepted
theory that, having saved sufficient money,
he has quietly departed for his native coun.
try, giving no notice to any one
