AN EMIGRANT HERDER
abe man who stGnds 10y the curb stone
with bis covered wagon and takes pos
session of unwary emigrants, who have
no friends and no place to go.
3 He is probably the agent OF tue enl'
grant lodging house, where frighitul tales
of robbery and ou.rsges are peric Ideally
unearthed.
"GREK, GREK, GREK!'
A large man with large voice and
correspondinGly large mouth called out
stGrek, GTek, Grek,n announcing that the
next party were Greeks. They were
sober looking company, tall, slender anu
dark, with knee breeches ana
long frock coats and skull
caps. There were no women IN
she party and they carried little luggage.
Although they were shabbiIy dressed,
yet they showed signs OF education and
ref nement. The large man loaded them
into bis cart and drove of. understand
that the Greeks work largely in tapestry
and find employment readily.
THE UNIQUE TURKS.
The Turks were decidedly unique, with
thu ir dark faces and white scarfs twined
about their heads, but their women and
children we're ragged and ill-kept and
looked as il they had suffered in the jour-
ney from sea sickness.
They all stood in n group on the side"
walk talking in loud excited tones and
aud were totally indifferentto to the induce
ments offered by the heTder.
PATHos AND "LALY GAG'ING."
The French were tue cleanest looking
party that landed and their children were
the best kept.
"A pathetic sight was the meeting OF
mother and daughter, judging from tnelr
cast of features, The mother was attired
in dark red skirt, brown waist and no
head gear and looked old and over
worked.
The daughter, probably several years In
this country, was full.fiedged American
with a modern gown, umbrella skirt'
pulled sleeves, sailor hat, gloves. etc.
The poor old mother rushed into her
CauQ hter's arms and they stood there OBJ
Iiyious to all of their surroundings and
moaned and sobbed in the anguish OF
joy. .-,.
and disappointments seemed to be sum-
med up into grand climax at this meets
But their oblivion was only for q
rncgnent. A big, fat policeman. zone OF
the finest" swept down upon them ana
pushing them roughly on, called, gn on
al this,u His sentiments were ecnoeu py
an Irish drayman who said, "fls' move
out with your laiy' gag-ing."
AWEsTERN CAyALCADE.
After . party of repulsive Russian Jews
has passed the Western cayalcads ap,
peared. They were mixture OF all
nations and were labeled WEST" They
we're hurried through and transferred
into busses for the railway stations
THE BRUTAL BULLY.
The. gates were closed and the sidewalks
were rthronRed by the strange and home
iass emiarants, but only for q moment.
The big policeman appeared among them
and with bis club and bis gruH voice
acAttered them left and right just as one
would drive cattle. II made me furious
10 see the indiscriminAte way in which ne
used his club upon the poor T0u 20
can freedom and equality must have been
crushed by this brutal treatment.
BATTERY AND CASTLE GARDEN.
The Battery derives its name from the
fortifications erected by the first Dutch
settIement on Manhattan Island. IL 10
now a public park at the southern end OF
the city. II occupied over twenty acres
and IL laid out with shade trees aIio wlue
atone walks along the pier. Summer
evenings II 10 filled with pleasure seekers
and a band Of music adds TO the enjoy,
xnent. The u. s. revenue offices ana
Castle Garden are within iss1imits. Castle
Garden was originAllya fort, and after
wards was converted into q summer
garden from whence il derives its name
