One of the queer charities in New
York is the auctioning Of homeless and
destitute men in Madison Square every
night. Chaplain Rather, a worker
among the poor, who is unconnected
with any church organization started
the scheme. The auction idea was hit
upon by mere accident, but 1t proved
more popular than the old style of
making collections. The chaplain will
pick out a ragged specimen Of human
ity, stand him on the curb and shout,
''What am l bid?" The crowd invari-
ably takes the u with good humor,
and someone usually starts bidding at
i've cents. Often the homeless ones are
knocked down at fifty or sixty cents.
when the crowd is especially liberal or
good humored. The money is then
passed over to the object Of his attrac-
ton. Every night between eleven and
Twelve a line Of homeless and penniless
men form in Madison square and as thu
theaters empty their crowds Chaplain
RATHER mounts a bench and invites at.
tention to his human wares.

DR.. Leopold Rieger, a fashionable
Viennese dentist, has just sued his as
sistant, DR.. Won Hauer, for the sum Of
H13O, being the estimated value OF
certain luncheons and dinners eaten by
the latter while he was the fiance OF
DR.. Rieger's daughter. The engage
ment lasted two months, and was then
broken of. DR.. Rieger maintains that
the food was obtained under false pre-
fences, as his assistant was never seri.
bus in his attentions to his daughter.
After a deal Of argument the case has
been decided against DR.. Rieger, who
also has to pay the costs, amounting
10 E120.

The first active step in the war OF
che famous-or infamous-Jersey mos
quitoes was taken last month, when
simultaneous attacks were made upon
several points Of their breeding
grounds. The Hackensack meadows
and the marshes about the Oranges
have always been prolific sources OF
this insect pest. Under the direction
of the entomologist of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, the sur
face of the water in the marshes was
treated with kerosene. The applica--
ton will be renewed several times
during the summer. Success will be OF
the greatest benefit to public health,
but the determination of the Jersey
mosquito will rob the humorist Of one
of his dearest treasures.

roadway for its full width of 66 feet.
The street is about 40 feet wide. The
method of laying this particular sur

iron cars over the track, and the Stag
poured over the surface at the proper
