While looking for furnished room in |
y tenement and Office building near the |
corner of Fourth and Market streets |
last night n reporter from the Globe
Democrat stumbled upon a genius who
was burning the midnight oil in a back
dingy room up two flights Of stairs. To
reach this ohscpre retreat the reporter
tiad gropel shis was sthrengh devioas
halls and passages where darkness was
as palpable ms the rats which scampered
over his feet Knocking mt door
through which shone o dim gleam Of
| light. the infrndcr wasinvited to enter
scantily furnished room, where the
marks OF hard times and industry vainly
tried to obliterate each other. The oc-
cupant OF the room was a tall, slim, seri-
ous man, somewhat in need of shave,
and attired in garments little less rusty
than the room itself
4 There was no carpet ON the floor OF
this apartment; on the whitewashed
! walls hung a saw; in one corner stood a
table strewn with books and scraps of
| paper: the bed was covered with a red
calico spread. and the appearance here
and there of pieces Of crockery among
\ theodds and ends Of. sd clothing gave
N 4evAieneetef tho casei%ssly concealed Gu
linary OF bachelors hall. 1t matters
not how the talk between the reporter
and the serious man drifted into the dis
cussion Of the latters affairs, but so II
did. and soon the outline of gigantic
enterprise was being poured into an at
II tentive ear.
d. b. Bradley is fine name of the man
who unfolded scheme for national
directory.
