A Beaver street Cavern where There

IN No Room for Customers.
From the New York Tribune.
There IS, down In Beaver street, a book
store so filled with books that there is
literally no room for customers. 1t is
one Of the oldest places of traffic in New
York city. The entrance is a flight of
steps leading from the pavement to a cell
lar about eighteen feet wide. This is cut
in two lengthwise, and half of this prec-
ious space is given up to a plumbing es-
Enlistment. The other half is the book
store and in 1t are said to be 100000 books,
There is nothing in the street to show
the character of the place except pile
of paper covered novels and a few plum
bers tools. If the day is fair, the old
book seller sits outside and waits for his
customers. of whom he has not a few.
The cellar below yawns dark and Cavern
Gus toward the street, for there Is not
ray Of light coming from either store.
When some one from the hurryins
crowds turns aside and descends the
steps, a gas jet back in the plumbing
shop is turned up high enough TO send
dusty ray or two out toward the visitor.
When il is seen that the incomer doesn't
care to get any plumbing done, down goes
the feeble flame again, and up goes one
in the adjoining book stall. The visitor
steps inside the wicker door and stops
for the sufficient reason that he cannot
90 any further. Around him everywhere
from floor TO ceiling, books are piled
with no apparent regard for classification
or anything else except space. Away
back further by much than the light
from the gas jet can carry, the solid piles
of books continue from floor to ceiling
and wall to wall.
In the front Of the shop there are per.
haps six or eight square feet of space.
That is all there is in the place. Tens of
thousa nds of volumes are lying back IN
that literary lumber pile that have not
been seen in several years and will not
be until other tens of thousands that
choke them down are sold or removed
only those in a limited circle around the
entrance door, and down the little path
way that leads somewhere back into the
darkness. can be got at.
The philosophical old bookseller has
gathered his motley stores mainly from
auction sales. and hence they take a wide
range in character and value. Il bought
a couple Of thousand more yesterday. -
the old man said recently, but now I am
going to stop. I've got all the books
want. Everything is here, from Pill
grims Progress TO the 'Decameron' and

other, by a good deal"

BARBARA AND MISS KELLARD.

The Former Claims She Was Dribed
to Make Her Confession.
Barbara Aub, who first said man named
Langerman had assaulted her, then de-
clared ne had not and that she had per-
Jured herself, and again later asserted that
her first story was true. is puzzling the
New York lawyers and the New York
papers.
"As true as there is God in heaven,
can positively say that the first statement
1 made about Langerman is true. Any
thing else 1 might have said is untrue
This is what she said yesterday after being
taken back to the Tombs prison.
Miss Smedley asked her if she was in
fuenced in her confession by any one from
the Door Of Hope. Barbara hesitated a
moment and then said, Yes
Barbara was then asked: What promise
was maze to you to confess? Do you know
what promise was made to Miss Kellard to
obtain your confession?'
Barbara replied: Il don't know that Miss
kellard was promised anything, but she
said to me that 1 would never want for
anything in the world if l would stick to
my confession. Miss Kellard made me this
promise here in this room where am in
generated She also promised me house
on Madison avenue near 57th street."
Miss Aub then said that some one whom
of Hope had given her drug in glass Of
milk. She said it tasted bitter, and that
after it she had lost her senses, and was
like one in a dream. She said she had no
Iecoliect.on Of uav-ng made a confess on,
but believed that she must have made it
because it was on record, although she
did not remember it.
Miss Marie Leslie who was a prisoner in
the same room with Barbara, told a re-
porter yesterday that Miss Aub had told
her that she had given a check for s. to
Miss Kellard to have cashed for her, and
that she had not seen Miss Kellard since.
After Barbara had refused to see Mrs.
Whittemore on Thursday the latter sent
her a letter, in which she said she was
sorry Barbara had not stuck to her and to
Goa, for one oct Gou could help her.
After reading this letter Barbara said:
1.-THE next time l get into trouble will see
a lawyer first and God next"
Barbara said that Miss kellard had sent
her note during the afternoon, and asked
that Barbara send her an answer to the
Door of Hope. The letter chided Barbara
for the stories appearing in the papers.
This letter stated Chat Miss Kellard had
made an addition to her Sunday school
class, and hoped Barbara would soon join
them. With this letter Miss Kellard sent
a basket of fruit, composed of oranges,
1t is said that Miss Smedley, who was
present at the time the fruit was received,
advised Barbara not to eat it.
Miss Aub said that she knew personally
that Miss Kellard was a close friend of
Langerman's.

From the Scientific American.
Until recently the manufacture of iri-
descent glass was set down in the list of
the lost arts. But in 1878 1t was redfscov-
cred and now it is a common commercial
article. 1t is made by exposing the melted
glass to the vapors Of salts of sodium At
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New
York city, are exhibited great numbers of
bottles, plates and other articles of glass
which were made and used long before
Christ was born. They were dug up IN
Cyprus and elsewhere. Many of them have
a beautiful iridesceuce, but it is the result
of decay. Glass will rot like anything else,
and decay has split the Structure of this
ancient glass into laminae, or flakes, which
interrupt the light so as to produce bril-
liant red green. purple and other rainbow
colorS.

FROM the cincinnati Enquirer.
The American people live too fast, eat too fas

OF US train Of nervous and stomach disorders
that are very difficult to manage. Investigation
ana chemical analysis to discover such compounds
as will help those suffering from such ills has
resulted In the discovery of Dr. Williams PinL
Pills for Pale People, which has taken very high
-ank as specific remedy.
Fl. z. Owens, travelling man, thirty years OF
age, who is well known in this community end
generally liked because he is bright, energetic
young fellow, resides with his mother at S35 Cen.
trail avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been vic
tim Of dyspepsia which took the form of continuous
constipation, and. strangely enough, his mother
suffered from the same trouble. Mr.. Owens testi-
fed to the merits of Pink Pills in a most enthusi-
astic way, and said to tine Enquirer reporter:
Il am glad to say anything for DIR. WILL
Jams Pink Pills, because they did great good,
and other people ought to know of their virtues as
a medicine in stomach troubles. 1t some time
ago when 1 felt "A heavy feeling in my stomach,
and l grew very constipated. did not consult q
doctor, but having heard of the Pink Pills 1 Lought

feeling In my stomach disappeared and my bowels

box of them before was well. Since that time
have only occasionally been troubled with nstpa-
ton, and never get worried, because know just
what to do. Mother also troubled with indi-
gestion, and the Pink Pills did the same for her
they did for me-cured her, didn't they, mother?"
When appealed to- Mrs Owens answered: That
is right. 1 found that 1t was great medicine, so
easy to take and quick and lasting in its re-
suits
Mr. Owens continued: Il believe that these pills
are also good 'or nervousness. When l had my
stomach trouble also quite nervous, and that

any of this testimonial that you see fit.
H p. Owens has occupied several positions of
trust In this city He for time an employe
of the Commercial Gazette. He will go on the
road in few days for a prominent business house
here. Mrs. Owens is quite as enthusiastic as her
son about the Pink Pills, and her lost OF lady
friends verify her good opinion of this wonder
full remedy If they feel disposed to do so at any
time. Where the testimony is so general and
unanimous as to the excellencies Of Pink Pills as
the Enquirer found 1t to be there is certainly
good reason to believe all the good things said
about the safe and simple remedy.
