AIN CARED FOR THE SPARROW.
Unconscious Charity Displayed by Four
Persons to an Unlucky Young Bird.

Any grumpy msanthropo who believes that
tho milk " kindness has dried out in the
breasts OF all humanity. and New Workers In
particular. should have been at the corner OF
10th street and Eighth avenue yesterday
morning Mt y o'clock. lilo might have changed
his ideas. As newspaper man. tircd from his
nights work. left the stairs of tho elevated
station and started to cross the street on his
way home. a young sparrow fell from the struc-
ture high above tho street. Its little wings
were not strong enough to bear It's weight and
It lay on the ground badly stunned by the fall.
crowd Of sparrows chirping loudly. flew
down beside It, The newspaper man reached
over and picked the bird up 1t lay linn In his
hand as II it were dead. The older birds flew
away short distance, chattcring angrily. and
they so moved tho newspaper man that he put
tho bird down in tho street again. As he
walked to the sidewalk clerk in the grocery
store near tho corner. walked out to the young
bird.
Here's meat for the cat in the store" he
said. but as lie started toward the sidewalk
the little bird recovered and looked at him with
IT FOO pretty to- give to tho cat" he said.
and he went out to the middle u the street and
set the bird down again. II was right in tho
path Of wagons that were coming along. A
young man, who looked like n clerk on his way
downtown 10 work. saw that an approaching
wagon was likely TO run over il. He picked il
up and put it on tho curlstone. Then ha hur-
iicl into tho elevator entrance to the trains TO
mako NJ for lost time.
he Young sparrow awkwardly hopped about
and got undcr tho feet Of a, horse thnt, was
ticcd tn" whoc proceedings saw its danger
and. regardless OF his own. ran over and
rrachsd under the horses hoois and lifted is
out Next he walked over to tho newsstand
unlnr the elevated pillars and placed tho ittla
lind IN recess where Il wns saio and whcra
Is little wings could not again carry It into
danger. Then he walked away, seemingly un-
conscious that he had done ANYTHING out OF
the ordinary.
The -trangcst thing Of the whole affair was
that after tho little bird was first touched by
the newspaper man the Older srArrOws seemed
to lose all interest in the little one and paid NO
moro attention to il. What the ultimate fatc
81 the bird was the newspaper man did not
wait to see. He was too sleepy.

Minority Report Calling for LeEisla-
ton to Remedy Unequal AsseHsmcnts.
The Finance committees OF the Municipal
Assembly met yesterday at noon to hx tho tax
rate for the year. The report drafted Will bo
considered at special sessions Of each branch
of tho Assembly to-day. The rate hHed Tor the
different borouEhs on each 500 OF tho assessed
valuation Is as follows:

Nchmunl 2]s0i3
Tho deficiencies Of the expenditures In 1888
to be made good this year proved to be higher
than tho first estimate. The total amount to
be raised this year to make good the excess OF
expenditures in 1898 over appropriations Is
$7.l75. S5OSS
This is divided among the boroughs as fol-
lows: Manhattan and the Bronx. $3.50. 2'N 30:
Brooklyn. 1892. 800 80: Queens. $oo0.O02 40:
Richmond. $72.S5N.1O.
The rate fixed for brooklyn is the lowest for
that borough since 1870. with the exception Of
1881. when the rate was 1898. The rate In
1897 for Brooklyn before consolidation was
S2.S3. The rate fixed for Manhattan is tho
highest aimee 1891. when y was 1922. The
highest tax rnte In the history Of the borough
OF Manhattan. as separate municipality. was
S2."a IN 1855. The rate last year was S2o1
The high rate in Queens il accounted for by
tho fact that almost 81 100000 Of the defcIon-
cy OF 1893 falls on that borough. while the as
