social functions in New York was COM

freight car, and his journey from New
York v as by way of Valparaiso, South Al
RIGA, California and box car across the
country.
His story is like that OF many others.
the story OF extremes meeting Today rich.
tomorrow poor. Brought up inluxury, with
no profession, poverty left him helpless.
Work was word which had been left out
of his vocabulary. Pride had been in
serted in its stead.
For two months the man stood each
night in front of Chamberlin's and asked
men he had once known TO ride in his cab.
He hired Il small stable. kept his cab there
and used The cab as his bedroom during
the day.
One night he met Il man who recognized
him. Explanations followed, and the cab
man told his story. He is now cashier
of bank in New York, and has become
quite prominent this fall as politician.
Such instances are constantly recurring.
The night cabby is recruited from the
great army Of the unfortunate who have
given up the struggle and are floating with
the tide. Perhaps the most interesting
character among a II the drivers of Washing
tons night-liners is, or rather was, the
"Dooke." The ''DOoke" was a mystery.
Silently he came, silently he remained and
silently he disappeared.
His face is familiar to great ma jority Of
the men, who from choice or necessity
turn night into day. Tall, square shoulder
ed and bearded, with the suggestion Of the
soldier in his bearing and a certain quiet
dignity which forbade familiarity, the
"DOoke'' was a character unique among

the night-liners. His was a figure which
cauGht the eye of the most casual oh
server. So little was known about him,
however. that his very name remained
mystery, and the title OF ''Dooke" came
from his foreign appearance and slight ac-
cent.
The "Dooke" appeared suddenly one
evening and took his stand in the line as
though he had been accustomed to do so
all his life. He spoke to no one unless
first addressed and was never known TO
solicit a fare. For over two years he
remained an enigma to cabmen and patrons
alike. The other drivers instinctiyely
felt that he was not OF their world end
when first advances were received coolly
they left him alone.
Little by little lie built up a trade among
club men and men about town. BY those
who came to know him he was treated
almost as an equal, and many were the
speculations as 10 WHO he was and whence
he came Suddenly he disappeared. His
place in tue line was vacant. Cabmen and
patrons wondered for Il time, and then for

As QUEER AS THEIR NAMES
Strange Byways of Washing
ton That Have HiSt0rils. r
SOME ARE CRIME STAINED
Animals Had the Call When
Most of Them Were
Christened.

Reference to the city directory will show
that There are nearly 400 alleys and courts
inthis city Which have had The honor OF an
official christening. Besides these, how
ever there are dozens more whose name
is scarcely known beyond the section in
which they are located.
These latter are inhabited by class of
people who generally find them safe
place OF refuge, not from the heat In sum
mcr Nor the cold In winter, but from the
officers of the law, at all times.
The most interesting thing about these
byways of the city is their names. The
dog in all his moods and lenses is rampant
in the terminology of our alleys, while
the goat comes next, a good second. Every
body knows or has heard OF Goat alley,
either through visiting that peculiar spot
or police court reports.
1t is situated between l. and NJ and
Sixth and Seventh streets. Itgets its name,
SO it is said from the fact that way back,
nobody remembers exactly when, all the
inhabitants were the happy possessors OF
number of goats.
One would suppose that Chew alley was

either in the general topography or III the IN
habitants, human or animal. II may. how
ever, as an alley be put down as distant
relative, being located between First and
Second and Z and streets northwest.
OF THE SAME FAMILY.
Pursuing the subject of goats you run
across, or rather into, Butts alley, which
begins on Florida avenue, between Nintii

Cabbage alley. Formerly IL was the site oil
q truck garden, and So luxuriant was the
growth of that vegetable in that particular
spot that an old colored man was heard once
to say that "dat sile will raise cabbage
when grasshoppers will die on It..
In the directory will also be found Hog
alley. This name, however, has become
nearly obsolete, the more euphonious and
elegant name of Essex being generally
used Essex" however, no matter TO
what the name may be applied. carries with
1t reference or suggestion OF the best kind
of English hog Following the animal
nomenclature still farther we find Hogshead
alley, Bacon alley, Porksteak alley, and
Pig alley.
Bacon alley, it is said, was christened
about half a century ago and got its name
by inheritance and surrounding circum-
stance. 1t is located between -Four "a
half and Sixth, Z and F streets southwest.
and as the story goes, all the land in that
neighborhood was once owned by man
named Bacon. The owner, it is said, made
the curing of pork his business, and on
either side Of the narrow slip of land now
occupied by the alley which bears his name
he built two rows Of small smoSehouses.

These were in after years replaced by other
buildings, the alley way, however, still
rema lining.
Pork steak alley also comes rightfully
by ats name, that is. if the peculiar habits
or traits of character of its inhabitants are
sufficient cause to give name to a place.
Unlike their kin in Pacon alley they were
not given to curing hog meat neither were

procuring it, To have it was their aim, and
honestly or dishonesty they'd have it.
HOW IT WAS NAMED.
That district was patrolled for many
years by Policeman Auldridge, and by
observation he learned that the people
who lived in the alley preferred pork
| steak to all other kinds o eat, and as long
as lie was on that beat he never knew
| them to buy, steal or eat any other One

making their breakfast of this favorite
dish. he asked one OF them why they all

Years ago, when the health laws were
not so stringent as they are now, it is said
that every person who lived in the alley
owned one or more pigs. So numerous were
these animals that to. visitor the place
had more the appearance of a pigsty than
the abode of human beings.
This state of affairs existed for long
time. when the health officer ordered one
of his assistants to go forthwith and
clean out Pig alley. He did, and from that
day to this, although the name still sticks
to it, pig or hog was never lit.
IN COW ALLEY.
There is also Cow alley, which derives
its name from the circumstance that the

1t might be supposed, after the list al

another, "Baar' alley. Now, whether
"baar'is is bad English for bear. or Southern
| Afro-American for "beer,' has never been
satisfactorily settled
Next comes Louise alley, probably one of
| the most notorious localities In the whole
| city. Its name, while not very elegant, is
said to be very appropriate, and it was so
named by the soldiers during the war. At

by the most disrespectable and uncleanly
