missioner of Education Harris made
some Interesting statements relating TO

the reindeer stations ought to be abe
to furnish 500 reindeer trained to the

miners on the upper Yukon. The plan
OF his bureau has been to arrange a
reindeer express to connect towns in A
line from Behring straight to Kodiak
island. When this arrangement is COM
pleted. 1t will be possible for business
companies in San Francisco and other
cities to hold communication with
their whaling fleets during the winter
north of the Arctic circle.
The rush of miners to the Yukon

Holmes Agnew, the young man whom
most of the night birds of the Tender
loin associate with small bottles AMI
Welsh rarebits, appeared last night as
a beggar. Just IS months ago Mr..
Arnew drove fast horses, wore clothes
of the kind affected by men who want
to make an impression on upper Broad
way, spent money freely, and achieved
the summit of his ambition, which was
to be known as "a good fellow"
But last night Mr.. Agnew stood IN
front of the desk at the West Thirtieth
street station a prisoner. The charge
in the books was begging. Mr.. Agnew
had begged two quarters from two
good-natured men. He had then ap-
preached a policeman who was dis
guised in citizens clothes and obtalned
five cents. He was locked up in conse-
quence. That was all.
This is the end of ALL he sobbed, as
he stood before the station sergeant.
Just when Mr.. Agnew first appeared
in New York and fell into the swirl ~

is about fouryears ago that he began to
appear at all the first-night perform
ances, in the all-night restaurants and
gambling houses. on the race tracks,
everywhere displaying the evidences OF
wealth. He lived in fashionable hotels
and gave wine suppers. His name was
often on the European steamer lists
and he travelled in good style. At
Newport, Narragansett and other
watering places his face was equally
familiar, and he was on the member

exactly what Agnew's business might
be. There was legend that he was an
advertising manager, but TINS story
was never confirmed. And then, presto!
One night Mr.. Agnew disappeared,
He vanished rom the scenes when
had known him best with suddenness
bewilderng even in the Tenderioln
maelStrOm.
Reformed, joined church, gone to
Brooklyn" said some.
"Broke-Wall street." said others.
They shrugged their shoulders and
dismissed him from their minds. He
was forgotten until one night in the
Metropolitan a dishevelled, seedy-look-
ing young man called for several small
bottles, filled his pockets with so cent
cigars and drank until he rolled like a
log under the table. Called on for pay
ment it was found that he had only
seven cents, and he was arrested
Forgot that 1 was poor. Wine made
me think that I was rich again" he
said, and this plea induced kind
hearted police sergeant to release him.
In the haggard, worn, lame creature
that skunk along the Fifth avenue
pavements, near Thirtieth street. last
night there walked only the ghost O;
the man who had been. From man to
man he went, as each came along pitt
fully pleading his tale Of better days
All drove him aside save the two men
who gave him the quarters and the
policeman who arrested him. There
is no need to lie about it," he said to
Becker, the patrolman, and the SER
geant at the desk. Il was starving
and needed food. In the old days had
often given dollars away to those who
were in need and thought it no harm
to ask for myself This is the end OF
ALL" The sergeant did not accept Mi
Agnew's philosophy and sent him II
