Fenced pasture does not make it 30
necessary as of old to put On brand that

no dis6guring takes place, will answer all
purposes of proving property and will be

The Tag Gathering business.

'The gathering of rags is a great busi-
nessr This was the remark Of O merchant
who knows. There are many stores, work
houses and workshops, where the sale of the
refuse, clippings and other debris pays all
their rental expenses. l know one clothing
manufacturing house that receives $1,000 a
year under contract from a rag dealing
house, and now thinks it ought to get more.
| supnose there are at least 1900 persons,
largely women and girls, employed in the
gathering, sorting, cleaning, etc, OF rags.
The business is divided into two general
groups, wooden and paper stock. New York
is a great market, and the foreign import
atious are large, as also the gathering OF
stock from all parts Of the country. The
:, stematization of rag gathering is COM
raratively new, and dates back to the intro
luc;ion. some twelve or fifteen years since,
of tkc poorest class of Polish Jews. They
are nearly all out of it now. The Italians
arc the chifToniers Of the city. There are
very few Irish still in the business. l
should say not over 200. The Italian gath
ercrs number probably 5000, mostly women,
children and old men. Ia former years
store sweepings were the perquisites of the
porters snd caretakers. / know a pros
ferrous rag merchant who began business in
| that way. The firm where lie was employed
thirty years ago now receives over 5000
| year for the sweepings, out Of the sale of
which he used to get as his parquisite about
| &. 900 per year New y Ork Graphic.

tho ground that he did not wish his son to be
connected with theatrical family. The son
insisted: the father threatened to disinherit
him, and the son defantly married the lady
of his choice.
So far the story is of the regulation
romance pattern; but here the beaten track
was deviated from; the stern parent" did not
s'relent," and the young husband and father
of children, which soon increased to three,
had to maintain himself as station agent at
Devon, on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
father was beginning to be more friendly,
however, when other friends procured the
voung man a position in the Philadelphia
mint, which he declined. They then brought
their forces to bear on Secretary Bayard,
who appointed Mr.. Lewis as consul at
Tangier. The father so far relented before
his death as to leave William his share of the
estate. the income only to be paid TO him dur
ina the lifetime of his mother. His con-
tent!on with the local governor of Tangier is
over a matter which has given much trouble.
Many wealthy citizens and traders of No
rocco get registered as citizens Of other coun-
tries, or in some way connected with or
under the protection of consuls, TO escape the
tyranny Of the sultan and his officers. This
has grown to such pitch that the Moorish
officials are exasperated, and, knowing least
about the United States, thought it would re
their safest plan to deny alleged American
citizens such rights first, and, if successful,
npplv the rule TO other nations. Mr. Lewis,
of course. promptly resisted their first move
in that direction. J. B. H.

nag covered booths. Inc flags run around
the four walls, and each booth is named after
some distinguished soldier or sailor, and a
portrait of the man after whom it is named
shines out through the flags. There is
Logan booth, where the things sold are
chiefly donated by Mrs. Logan, and among
whose donations is a beautiful brass lamp
standing three feet high. Mrs. Logan has
done much for the fair. She is thoroughly
interested i'll Grand Army matters, is
looked upon by the Grand Army here as
the mother Of the post, and is indeed the
leading lady friend of the Grand Army or
ganization everywhere.
There Is Lincoln booth, which Mrs. Bur-
rows presides over. and this has grand dis
play Of silverware, which will he sold this
week The Grant booth is also n beautiful
affair, and the Dahlgren table eats the money
out of the young mems pockets 10y peddInS
cologne. Here there is n flower bower, which
was designed by Mrs. Stanford, who has
been very generous in her donations to the
fair.
1t is rather interesting to walk through
this Grand Army fair, and its demands will
emaciate the fattest pOckctbook. You can't
refuse to buy a cigar when Mrs. Senator
Platt asks you, nor can you refuse glass of
lemonade when pretty little girl with blue
blood in her veins bescccheS you to take Just
| q sip, and proves that she likes the liquid by
drinking from the same glass Peaches and
cream are nothing to it!
Take, for instance, the girls dressed in
gypsy costumes, and they will read your
hands for dollar \ young dude who was
particularly soft on one Of the girls who is
| telling these fortunes, tells me confidentially
that it is worth a dollar to have certain
congreSsmans daughter hold his hand for
| five minutes. and that he has actually had
his fortune told ten times by the same girl in
five nights.
| There is IN art gallery at this exhibition
and this calls attention To the beautiful tapes
| tries, paintings and Curios which are
here seen. Mrs. Ingalls, has lent an oil paint
ing which has come down to her through
generations, and which is undoubtedly one
| Of the old masters. 1t has about as big al
area as bed quilt, and it is remarkably
fine conception.
Senator Palmer has loaned few Of hi
| heautiful pictures, and some of the antique
naintinGs of Mrs. Cook Baldwin are herr
seen. Mrs. Gen Cutcheon has charge of th'
art room, and she is assisted by Mrs. Senator
Hearst, Mrs. Senator Teller, Mrs. Senator
Palmer and Mrs. Senator Sabin.
The worst thing, however, about theS
