table supplies Of d fertile southern land.
The strings of garlic, the little bun
dies of vegetables, the potatoes, the
bread and cake and meat are still for
sale, and the incessant chatter of for
eign tongues and stalllzeepers crouching
over charcoal fires lend an interesting
air to the place, but its prestige is gone.
A polite French purveyor whose tiny
stall was the perfection of neatness said
to me: eve do not sell as we used to.
There are other markets in the city, and
the American grocery stores-they sell
all our things I have been here i'll this
one stall now seven years. In the begin
ming all the ladies used to come down in
the morning with the market baskets to
buy of us, but now they send the servant
or perhaps order by telephone of the gro
Gerry man. Our trade is small, and there
is so much competition that our profits
e.re the very least -
''But you have made money!
GA little, = with a shrug of shoulders
and an outturning of hands 1.-The wife
and little ones have their meals, and I
have home-that is all. -
Considerable Of the picturesque re-
mains III the varied costumes and faces
seen in the market, but little to what
once was found there. The buildings
have been used for so many years that
they show their age badly and have
great need Of d more thorough sanitary
renovation than is given by means Of the
scrub broo1ns and dust brushes of tho
stall owners.
The poorer jewellers of the French
quarter make it their visiting and Cos
siping place for the first half of the day.
They sit on the low boxes and stools,
mothers with parti colored shawls over
their heads, children dark haired, black
eyed and vivacious, chatting with the
almost freedom, and stolid indeed is the
visitor who will not pause to look on
the picture.
Scarcely a northerner has visited New
Orleans in the past two decades who has
not spent a little time in the French
market. The memories of its novel fea-
lures are among the most striking of the
city's impressions. Such as have seen it
will be glad that they were within its
odd corrid ored precincts before its dec
adence, and those who have not will
want to dc 50 before it becomes thing
of the past It may not reach that point
for many years, but the appreciation of
real estate and the encrOachmelt of rail
way shops and business houses on that
section Of the city tend in that direction.
At any rate, it is a feature worth seeing
and worth remembering.

then to confer with him as to the best
way of storming the literary fortress
of London.
Acting upon his suggestion. found
myself last night at the Model Dossery
"a big municipal lodging house capa-
BILE of accommodating 324 men. It
stands off at the back of the Drury
Lane theater i'll small narrow street,
Parker street. Its slang name has been
given it by its freQuenters. Near by is
Covent Garden market and from this
spot, if the wind be in the right direc-
ton, you may hear the bells of ST. Giles
when they ring. You are in the parish
of st. Giles, one of the oldest parishes
OF London.
The lodging house is a rather low,
prison looking building with light iron
barring across the windows. 1t was
built two years ago by the progressive
municipal party here, who evidently
: believe i'll giving the hard up Londoner
a show. For sixpence q man gets a
small room to himself with clean bed
in it, and also has the run and priv
leges of the establishment for a whole
day.
On going in through the door you find
yourself in long, wide hallway. At
one end of this to the right is the sit
ting and reading room; at the other end
to the left is the dining and cooking
room. Half way up toward the dining
room is a grocery shop, presided over by
q fair haired English girl with blue
eyes, where the men may buy provi-
sions at the lowest rates going in Lon
don.
First took in the sitting room. It is
very big and was we'll filled with men
who We're lounging and standing about,
reading and writing at the tables or
smoking or chatting. Several of them
were standing, Englishlike, with their
backs before an immense coal fire. Up
on the wall over the fireplace is a great
fresco by Stewart Carmichael repre-
senting English working men and wo-
men in the act of toiling. The figures
in it are life size, and it extends across
the whole width of the room. 1t is a
noble, convincing piece of work, full
of vigor and imagination, and the art
list, a careless whole souled bohemian,
did it for nothing, so that the poor, hard
up fellows might have something fine
to look upon when they came in feeling
weary and sad.
On looking at the people around me

freezing blast, which gives you fore
knowledge Of the grave. No enthusiasm,
no illusions could stand the earthly,
rheumatic dealing chill of Genoa after
two days rain. The city is built for
summer. There is marble every where
until youfeel entombed. The streets are
no wider than alleys, amazingly pic

they were all here these men, linked
together, made brothers by the tie of
poverty.
My heart, my sympathies, went out
to these men. I was of them, was at
one with them-I who had gone into
their midst to earn piece of bread by
writing a description of them.
Various were the conversations that
were going on. A navy dressed is
fustian jacket and corduroy trousers
and wearing pair of heavy hobnailed
shoes was telling another of the diff

weakened, half starved looking clerk
was saying that he had been out of
work for ten weeks; a beggar was de-
scribing the ease with which he could
get coppers; tall, distinguished look
ing man, who wore shabby genteel
clothes and 4 soiled top hat, was telling
young looking man of the glories of
Patti 8 matchless singing-how he had
heard her i'll the days long gone, those
grand old days that were not to come
again. And SO it went along. The
whole thing saddenea me.
From there [ went into the dining
and cooking room. This room is larger
yet than the sitting room, and to me it
was much more cheerful. Here the men
were not going into histories of their
troubles or of their pasts. They were
either cooking or eating. The cooking
range is the biggest [ have ever seen.
I should judge its dimensions to be
fully 5 feet in length, e feet in
height and 3 = feet across. At least 80
men may cook their victuals upon it at
once. Twas told this by a man who was
grilIing haddock upon it, and I am
sure he didn t overestimate its room
giving capacity.
AS yon enter the door of the dining
room there is a small room off to the left
in which 324 food safes are kept. In
them the men put what is left over
from their meals. They are all number
ed of. and for sixpence a man gets
key with a brass check attached to it.
upon which is the number correspond
ing to the number of his safe This six
pence is given back to him when he
gives up the key. In the dormitory, a

Tying Her Shoe.

She stood by a door that was festooned with
flowers,
While the sound of the waltz foated lazily
through,
And young hoods of fashion and maids with
fat bowers
Stood watching US while I was tying her
shoe.
She wore red stocking, soft, delicate silk,
Her ankle just turned to perfection-yes,
And the edge of her petticoat. whittier than
milk,
saw, and trembled-when tying her shoe.
All. me, for the days of young love and young
life,
For the days when my cares were both tri-
fling and fewI
Just seven long years I've been calling her
sswife,
And now think it a bore-when I'm tying
her shoe.

WHERE FRIENDSHIP CEASES.
Meyer and Vile Made a Horse Trade
and Now Don,t Sneak

A horse deal was the feature of the
business done in the Court of Common
Pleas this morning. On August A.
Michael Meyer, a Newark horse dealer,
sold horse to Thomas e. Vile, a dealer
in feed in this city. The buyer and seller
had been friends for years and had had
numerous business transactions. Mr.
Vile had a horse already but he wanted
faster one, a horse that was sound
gentle and speedy. one that his wife
could drive.
A trade was made. Mr. Vile gave his
horse and his wife's check for 500 for
a horse which was warranted to be
2:40- Mr.. Vile tried the horse and de-
cided that the horse was neither sound,
gentle nor speedy. He found him vicious
and halky. Lawyer DENIM, who ap-
neansd for Mr.. Vile, said that the ami
NAL might be made speedy with the as
sfstance of a trolley car. The horse was
returned and Mr.. Meyer gave Mr. Vile
his own Tom" horse instead, at the
same time assuring Mr.. Vile that he
Meyer, was losing money by the trans
action.
The "Tom" horse failed to satisfy Mr..
Vile's expectation and he was sent back.
Mr.. Meyer refused to receive him. but
that same night when Mr.. Meyer wasn't
looking, somebody thrust the tom"
horse into the stable and left him there.
The payment of Mrs. Viles 500 check
was stopped and Meyer sued for it in
Judge Puster's court and recovered judg-.
ment. The case is now before the Court
of Common Pleas on appeal.

When Mayor Pagan and Chief of Po-

Hudspeths caustic remarks about the
prevalence of disorderly houses, disrep-

prised and then angry. They consulted
with each other and determined that the
statement must not be allowed 20 go un-
contradicted.
On the following, day in charging the
Grand Jury for the December term,
Justice Lippincott elaborated and en-
about the prevalence Of wickedness in
HOboken. and even went SO far as to
suggest that indictments should d., follow low
authorities to perform their duty.
It was some slight consolation to the

The Mayor and the Chief tried to con-

what was said is not definitely known,

More than 25,Oo0S divorces are granted

HOW THE OTHER HALF EXISTS"

Staff Captain Edith Marshall. Of the
Salvation Army. delivered a lecture upon
Home Missionary Work" last night be-
fore a large audience in the Summit
shall confined her talk to the work OF the
Army in the slums of New York. She
vividly portrayed in a number of well
worded anecdotes the dark side of the
great Metropolis; She said the poor people
existed: they did. not know what Civ
ing really was. She concluded her ad-
dress by appealing to her hearers TO re-
spond literally when the collection was
taken up.
The collection plates were well filled
with silver and greenbacks.
Half of the collection she took and the
Christian Endeavor Society took the
other half which they will use in fn-
ing the missionary box with clothes and
other comforts which they are going to
send South. Captain Marshalls share
win be used by the Salvation Army in
relieving and converting the inhabitants
of New Yorks slums.
During the evening Captain Newcomb
sang several solos, accompanying HIM
self upon the autoharp.
