One Has Succeeded Another with the
Growth Of tho CITY UP Tow.

The original Tenderloin precinct in the annals
of the Police Department Of New York was the
Eighth, the station house of which was In Prince
street and IL now in Macdougsl street. Its
boundaries are Canal street, Houston street,
broadway. and tho North River. 1t was q great
resort for thieves, crooks, and disorderly per-
sons, and furnished the largest amount OF police
business. In 1870, when tho Eighth precinct
wa, at the height of its deplorable prominence.
the arrests were $500 in a year, against $500 In
the Twenty-ninth precinct, the present Tender
ioin. The Captain best known in connection
with the Eighth was Charles Mcdonald, better
known as Lightning Charley" He was APP
pointed In 1870. and gained his title from service
In the Thirty-ifth street station.
With the growth of the city further up town,
the moving away Of tho big hotels. and tho en-
c~roachments of stores and warehouses in the
Eighth precinct tho Fifteenth. or Mercer street
precinct, became tho Tendsrloln. Its reign W as
precinct. the present Tenderloin, extends from

in both sides Of Broadway, and has a larger

avenue were largely taken up with concert
saloons, and among those in the Tenderl3in
Cremorne, the Empire, the Sans souci, the
Argyle, and the Haymarket. Sixth avenue
between Twenty-third and Thirty fourth streets
at that time was as much crowded by night as
Broadway is now by day. Arrests were many,
and strangers visiting New York came TO this
neighborhood as one OF the sights of the town.
~ present the Tsnderloin Is 2 name chiefly.

The side streets between Sixth and Seventh
avenues and Twenty-ifth and Twenty-sixth
streets are mostly occupied by members OF the
French colony. II is in the heart of the region
OF tables d'h6te. Twenty-seventh street, notori-
Gus in old Tenderloln days, Is now
occupied chiefly by colored residents. Thirty
first and ,Thirty-second streets are given
over 10 business uses. Thirty-first street
Is mostly occupied by German tenants.
A new church has been built there within two
years. Sixth avenue IL now as quiet at midnight

decidedly more so than Third or Eighth avenue.
The number of arrests in the Nineteenth pre-
cinct last year was 4,253, while in the Fifteenth
Mercer street,, the arrests were 4,niO, and in
the Tenth EldridRo street., 81, ls+. The Eighth
precinct, the Tenderluin OF other days, had a
total OF 1000 prisoners. OF whom 1920 were

that would be necessary would be 10 build a
Golfer dam around the injured plate. and then
turn on the ships own dynamos and repair the
injury then and there.

Rineers of half a dozen steamship lines have in

water that is going on all the time. to the dismay
of all shipowners. All that Is now needed to

THE NEW STEP.
A Pretty Clog Dancer Who Was AnrsiA

There were several good and sufficient reasons
why people should stop and look 1t her. She

soft brown hat, having an alpine plume OF feath-
ers stuck j~auntily at the side, and tho others be-

decidedly pretty with its loose light hair. blue

At no time during these days after the sun

the score have dozed behind scraps OF news

4 SPURIOUS OLLIE TEALL.
The Real Ono Nearly Got n ThrashinG
Meant for n Wicked ImPersonatOr.

One of the penalties of / satness. as Ollie
Teall has found out, Is having ones name used
without warrant and In circumstances which
are apt to result unpleasantly to the proprietor
of the name. Since Ollie has injected himself
into politics, with q view of subsequently in
jecting himself into the Street Cleaning Com
missionership. all sorts Of sayings and doings, of
which he is entirely innocent, have been attrib-
uted to him. A few days ago. as he was sitting
In his office in William street, an excited
stranger entered. The stranger was big. So was

mspded Of the darby A. The door,

ls "Y:y. gs Sr / a@ an' That Fis 'AE Is, u n.nlno. I'm not"
stammered Ollie; II mean it's just as you say"
At this the visitor cooled down and sat down:
prominent uptown club, and said that he had
come TO wreak vengeance upon a man who had
insulted him and his wife. He supposed this
man to be Ollie Teall. The insult occurred on q
Brooklyn trolley car in which he and his wife
were riding. A crowd OF men in evening dress
got on the car and began to swear and use bad
language. From their conversation the club
man gathered that they had just come from a
dinner OF the Union League Gu Of Brooklyn.
Finally their conversation became so outrageous
that he appealed d TO the conductor, who put them
OIL. AS they filed out one of them said, pointing
TO the man who had made the greatest dis
turbance;
You'll get into trouble for this. Do you
know who that is That's Oliver Sumner Teall."
So the club man look ed up Ollies address and
same around TO thrash him. only to find that he
had the wrong man. Now he is busy looking
for the right one. But the strangest part OF the
whole thing. Ollie says, is that anybody should
mistake any other man for him.

III DOG HAD a SMOKE, TOO.
An Exhibition that Made Holiday Shoppers
Pause with An Their Hurry.

Twenty-third street was crowded with oa.ly
evening holiday shoppers. Most OF them had
bundles, and all OF them showed that nervous
hurry that characterizes Christmas purchasers.
The one leisurely figure in the crowd was a
young man In a long frock coat. embellished
with a bunch OF carnations. the most shining Of
shoes, and a tall hat scarcely less shining, who
had a black spaniel attached a TO a chain. The
spaniel would have liked 10 be leisurely, too.
but he had TO skip about with much agility to
avoid having his paws trOdden on.
In his saunterings the young man came 10 a
little heap Of packing boxes obstructing the
sidewalk. He unfastened tho dogs chain and
whistled in a peculiar way. The spaniel leaped
up on the highest box as II II were only a step,
instead OF four feet high. and sat up with one
paw at salute. The h~urrying shoppers stopped
as if a brick wall had appeared in front or
them, and gathered around the box. Thu young
