AT THE GATE HOUSE, BELLEVUE
Types of Anxious, Suffering or Curious
Humanity to Be Seen There

A frequenter Of any of the city's charit-
able institutions may see strange sights
| and many varying phases of human nature,
but there Is perhaps no place in New York
| where an hour will disclose more types of
suffering and misery than the gate house
Of Bellevue hospital. Within this little
brick structure sits the gatekeeper. TO
whom all visitors and patients. except
those brought in ambulanoes, must apply
for admittance. Che applicant must first
convince him Of his right to cross the
threshold of the institution, and countless
are the tales Of woe that are poured into
the gatekeepers ears. The novelist search
ing for types or the student of sociology
would be amply repaid by,an hour spent at
the door OF Bellevue, say, between and 9
o'clock of a Saturday evening.
The gatekeeper, a kind-faced and good
hearted German, sits reading his paper
The street door opens and a man staggers
In. He is ragged and unkempt and his
eyes stare wildly about the room.
"Well, what Is it?" he is asked.
"Its the drink" he cries. my God, I'm
crazy with the drink! Six months left
1t alone. and now I'm back in hell again."
His voice sinks to hoarse whisper. Don't
send me away, boss; there's things chasin'
me. l see 'em all around"
"Take him to the office" interrupts the
gatekeeper, and the man Is led away by an
attendant.
Next, workman enters. His clothing
Is stained with the days labor, but Took
of anxious inquiry is on his face.
II want to see my son." he says. "He
was hurt in the elevator accident today"
But you're too late; look at the time,"
replies the gateman. pointing to the clock.
"Visiting hours are over at T."
II know it, sir, but couldn't come no
sooner, an the boys hurt bad. read in
the papers that he's goin' to die. an sure
you'll let his own father see him while he's
still alive.''
His appeal prevails and he gains admit
tance to the office.
After brief interval another unsteady
figure fumbes at the door. 1t is woman
this time. Her hair is white and in dis
order while her whole appearance sug-
gests to one who knows the symptoms
"mixed ale." With maudlin smile on her
broad face, she salutes the gatekeeper.
"Good-mornin', gen'ral. I'm thinkin' 1

PROFITS AT MONTE CARLO
Enormous Income Indicated by the
Price of the Franchise

One can form some idea of the enormous
profits made by the gambling hell at Monte
Carlo by studying the terms on which the
prince of Monaco has granted a prolonga-
ton Of the concession under which this
infamous establishment exists. The pres
ent concession expires in 1918, but the
shareholders think it wise to secure fur
ther concession before that date. The
terms, which were presented and ratified
the other day, are as follows:
The G50,000 for the concession, plus EGO, ;
| 900 allowed for the expenses of the govern.
| ment of the principality, are to be contin-
Ned, together with the allowances for pub.
| lie works, lighting, maintenance of the in
stitutions, etc., amounting in all to another
G50,O00 or 100000 per annum. In addition
the Casino company undertakes to pay
over Immediately to the prince in hard
cash the sum of G400 900, and further tc
spend 100000 upon public works in the
shape of opening up new avenues ana
streets in parts of the principality indi
Gated by the prince; to spend 9S0000 in the
construction of new theater and opera
house, this to be completed in time for the
ager of the theater at Monte Carlo a1OO
| for each performance, this sum to be spen
exclusively in the payment of special ar
lists, the company to further bear all the
cost of the chorus, orchestra and scenery
Finally the company undertakes to pay
over to the prince in cash 100000 In the
year 1913, which was the date of the expira,
| ton of the old contract granted by the lat,
Prince Charles ii.
| The Casino company is therefore called
upon to find an additional sum of G1 ,2S0 0O
(without counting the grant to the man
ager of the theater) as the price of the new
concession. The prince also insists upo1
having in future direct voice in the man
agement of the concern. He is to be con

KILLING EFFECT OF BULLET

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-(Speclal

putting war losses the most serious in the
list are the gallant fighters who die for
their country. Battered battleships can be
repaired, a sunken vessel replaced by
new one. but the trained soldiers and sail
ors killed in war are losses that hit at the
heart of u nation. 1t takes many bullets
to kill one man, however, and army vet
Grams say that shells are the least to b.
feared Of all missiles of war. The records
of naval fights are not so comforting. In
the engagement between China and Japan
at Phung-do. on July 20, 1894, two shells
struck japanese boat and exploded, do
ing no harm. At Yalu, Of all the shells fred
at the Japanese ships only hit the mark,
but the killed and wounded by the shel,
fire was 29S. The percentage was as Toll
lows: Seamen, 57.3S per cent petty officers.
1914 per cent; officers. 1907 per cent; civil
fans, 2.35 per cent. Other non-combata ants
account for 6.3S per cent in each class.
At Yalu, 10 Japanese were killed by the
''vibration of air caused by the firing of
their own guns." In some cases shells did
severe damage on Japanese ships. One YES
sci had 80 persons killed and 10 injured by
the explosion of one shell. Another had
IA killed and 27 injured in like manner.

by shells that burst. The bursting of even
small shells did great injury. In one in

these terrible days Mr.. Dunant conceived

unfolded to them his plans. From that time
forward he labored indefatigably to win adj
herents TO his cause, writing articles, de-
Hvering addresses, travelling from place to
place, consulting officials high in authority
at the European courts. BY the pro-
vision of the, Red Cross treaty surgeons;
nurses, ambulance trains and all hospital
supplies are considered neutral, provided
they display uniform badge and flag, ac-
companied by their national flag.
Swiss government the protective sign and
flag agreed upon was a red Greek cross on
white grOund-the reverse of the Swiss
flag. Turkey alone has objected to this.
Her soldiers, in their intense hatred of the
Christian symbol, refused to work under
banner with cross, and they were allowed
to use a red crescent in its place.
Mr.. Dunant Is now about seventy years

the other half in unfortunate business ven

forgotten, in a plain district infrmary in

touched Christ He was thrilled by the con-
tact No wonder that it brought back life
and healing in it's turn. A new being came
of the DID, She touched Christ and hence
forth she was well.
LIFE AND STRENGTH.
In like manner whoever touches Christ
with the touch of faith will find life and
strength. Faith will as surely bridge the
way to the risen and assembled Christ as it
carried the woman's love TO Him in that
crowd. Nay, as the soul exceeds in value
the body, so much the more essential so
much the more certain is the divine help.
Then. too, how different are the results,
as we'll as the motives, of threnging from
those of touching the Christ. See how the
Jews showed the results of thronging and
erowding the Christ Look there at the side
of the city. See another crowd come forth
from the gate, hootng and bowling. their
last bit of sense seemingly wiped out in
their thirst for blood. A company of bar
barians is in their midst; Roman soldiers
they are by enrolment. but with natures
in no way modified by their allegiance.
ready for any act of cruelty to which they
are sent. Three prisoners condemned to the
torture of crucifixion, the most ignOminious
death then known, stagger along under the
load of their own crosses
Can that one who faints and falls under
the excess of suffering be He who stopped
in His errand Of mercy to save this woman
at her touch Of faith? Yes, it is, and He
has now no touch of love and sympathy, no
heart oerwelling with faith. There is only
the staggering hate of the bowling mob for
Him now. No wonder that the body faints
and falls beneath the burden.
Again look, there on Calvary. Three
crosses stand there now, and three dying
men upon them, their heads bowling in
anguish. But one at one side turns to the
Master there, and in his sorrow, amid the
mingled curses of his companion and the
mob. hear his plaintive Lord, remember me
when thou contest into Thy kingdom" See
his face light up with joy. He, too, has
touched Christ and received Wilderness and
strength; he can face the torment of the
hour until it is finished, and he enters
Paradise with his Lord.
Such was the crowding of the Jews. But
to-day men crowd the Christ in their lives,
their conduct. One man tells every story
so as to make himself hero. his associates
pignlies He so misrepresents in business
that his word carries no confidence. Liar
is, as it were, branded upon his counten-
ance a Gains mark. He crowds Christ out
of his speech.
A merchant folds his goods over to hide
defects, or he puts the best apples on the
top of the barrel, or INDUCES in the thou
sand and one tricks of the trade. He crowds
Christ out of his business.
The school boy or girl cheats on the ex-
animation, or hides the open book behind
the desk: on the ball field or croquet ground
