Adam the barber sat in his Avenue A shop
yesterday bemoaning his fate. He had read In
The Volkszeituno how The Suns correspondent
in the Klondike had forwarded q despatch to
New York announcing that Peter Schramman
and his fellow Germans from Sixth street had
discovered gold In the Klondike region.
Adam also read that the members of the
Schramman Klondike Gold-Graeber INTER
stuetzing Verein all had good claims In the new
Pine Creek district. He read the story over q
dozen times, told IL a thousand times, and then
wished a million times that he never had been
born.

for the purpose of finding gold in the Klondike

In the party. The goldseekers had q farewell
festival before leaving Avenue A, and Adam
was one Of the principal speakers. Three
brewery wagons. gayly decorated with flags and
bunting. carried the delicatessen men and
bologna butchers to the railroad ferry at the
foot OF Forty-second street. The German band
Of musicians played "Ow der lebe 0wgpstie;"
