FORTUNE rsLllNo IN NEW YORK.
A Growing cIi.nssie ofFoiIowcr. ofthe
Hack Art.

Few people are aware TO what extent
Fortune Telling" Is practised In New
York and the number of people who
pstronize the various devices which are
advertised to give positive insight into
the future Among the young and old,
rich and poor, wise and ignorant, there
seems to be a growing clientele OF the
mystic followers Of the BLACK art and
a rich harvest 10 being reaped in the good
hard coin OF the realm, to satisfy cravings
for the secrets which cannot be- awaited
for time to develop. And a peculiar feat
ure Of the strange craving which seems
to animate those who have become vic
tins of the habit of having their fortunes
told Is their apparent scepticism and dis
belief In the supernatural powers of the
clairvoyant. or In anything they may tell
them. Nine out of every ten VINO are
afflicted scoff at the reader OF the future
ant the readings, yet still patronize the
fraud with q religious frequency that is
startling to the uninitiated and would
almost. make ono wonder IL, after all, this
Is the twentieth century, or near IL. An
other peculiar feature of the disease, II IL
Gamble called such, Is the sort Of clan-
ship ar secret bond of union that exists
between those who are Victims, and
which may in part account for the un.
published statistics regarding their num-
Der and widely varied walks of life. They
never talk, except among themselves, OF
what they have discovered or the relative
merits Of the interpreters OF destiny,
whether through shame, or fear. and
probably thus secure immunity from the
pryiDg inquisitiveness Of tine newspaper
man or student Of human nature who
would investigate queer freaks Of his
kind.
The devices and prices by which to
learn what is in store for you are made TO
suit conditions, and the Fifth avenue
belle pays many times more than the
shop girl or the servant There Is the
ma lame with thu long Franch name,
the alleged gypsy with some outlandish
nom de plume. and the Sicilian with an
atmosphere of vendetta and hg-trees de-
lightfully mixed with the aroma Of
spbagetti and garlic. From cards and
strange devices to alleged frances, or more
properly spasms. you may learn what is
in store for you, and the price from ten
cents to one dollar, according to method
and locality Down in the tenement dis
triois ten cents Is the popular remunera
ton, and here come servant girls and In

According to Superintendent Stetson's
annual report large percentage of
Maine's school children of school age do
not go to school. There ara in the state
10000 persons between the ages of six
and 81 but the average attendance on
Che public schools last year was only 81. COO
The paroohial schools take care perhaps
of a fraction of this discrepancy but it is
q very small one. The number of children
between the ages OF and IA exceeds the
average attendance by $1,000. MIR. Stet-
sons figures makes 1t clear, as he says,
that the compulsory attendance law
doesn't amount to much Probably in
the cities 1t is fairly we'll enforced, but in
the smaller places it is practically dead

in Its terms is as follows:
Sec a. Every parent, guardian, or
other person having control Of any child
between the ages of nine and fifteen years
shall send him to u public school for at
least twelve weeks in each year, unless
he is excused from such attendance by the
