THE FREsH.sREAD CHARITY.
What Ono Worthy New York Philan'
thropist IL Doing.

One of the oldest sights that New
York affords is the procession OF the
hungry which moves past Grace
Church at ten minutes before l O'Clock
every morning. 1t Is the parade Oh inc
unemplbyed-the hungry poor.
Eighteen years ago a Vienna bakery
was established In New York. 1t came
from the centennial at Philadelphia.
Eighteen years ago the proprietor OF
this bakery began the nightly distrlbu'
ton of the broken loaves Of bread 10
the hungry poor. The custom has pre-
vailed ever since, and the Foreman
estimates that two million loayes OF
bread have been given away during the
eighteen years. The retail Value %
that bread would be more than $lo"
900: its wholesale value would be one
half as much. In the winter moh'nS
fresh coffee is given with the Dreau'
Both coffee and bread are a charlty
offering by the owner Of the bakery.
The men begin to assemble little
before II o'clock. The first conner
stands Just in front Of the bakery door
on q side street. The rest fall IN behind
him. and before 1 o'clock the line
stretches to Broadway, and along that
thoroughfare fifty yards to the door
way of Grace Church.
There are hurrylng steps from all
directions as the hour of distribution
approaches. for the late-comers are Ike
ly to go hungry.
At ten minutes before 1 o'clock the
bakery door Is thrown open and the
stout foreman appears. Two bakers
assistants bring out some boxes piled
high with broken loaves. This Is fresh
bread which has been spoiled in the
baking.
When the loaves are little defective
they are sold at low price to small
shopkeepers; but when they are broken
the pieces are kept for the poor
One of the boxes is placed at the head
Of the line, and the first man helps HIM
self to the latest chunk of bread tint
he can distinguish In the light from tie
doorway. Then the shutting line moves
past, each man picking up his piece OF
bread and going on his way. Many are
tramps by profession, but most of the
bread-receivers are workingmen out Of
employment.
Slowly the line passes. There Is no
scufi1ing for place. Each takes his turn
Sometimes man fingers for a minute
to make a selection from the box, and
the foreman has to break the blockade
by ordering him on.
At 1 o'clock the last loaf of bread is
seized and carried away. A dozen hun
CRY, disappointed men turn away with.
out complaint and without even a phil
osophlcal shrug Of the shoulders.
The nelghborlng doorsteps are peo-
pied with bread-eaters; but many have
taken the food to their hungry homes,
and may have gone with it to the parks,
their only lodging-places.
