THE LAUNDRY LOTTERY.
Unclaimed Linen Can Be Bough
Cheap-Pig in n Poke.

Unclaimed Linen Can Be Bought
Cheap-Pig in n Poke.
From the New Orleans Tmes-D Democrat.
Speaking of laundries and Cinnamon"
remarked one of the group do you
know that a number of men here in New
Orleans make a good living by buying up
the unclaimed packag es of qaundries? In
New Orleans there are 205 Chinese laund-
ries, and in each of them many packages
of laundry are never called for. The
Chinese proprietor keeps these packages
thirty days, and IL their owners do not
claim them in that time they are sold
for THE laundry charges to any one who
cares to purchase
Look into Chinese laundry and you
will see several upper shelves crowded
with dusty-looking packages These are
the uncalled for packages, and the China
man is keeping them should the owners
call for their linen. but the chances are
that when the parcels are put upon these
upper shelves they will not be called for.
The men who have their laundry done
by Chinese washermen are not infrequent-
ly birds of passage, who. from one cause
or another, lost their laundry. The cause
may be carelessness, forgetfulness, leav-
ing town or going broke.
"You would be surprised at the amount
of clothing lost in this way by its owners
and accumulated in the laundries. When
a week goes by and the owner does not
call with his wash ticket, the laundry
keeper no longer expects him, for the
Chinese laundry patron is generally
prompt customer with small wardrobe.
Then, after a week, the bundle goes up
on the shelf, and it remains there unkil
the purchaser comes along. He is some
times a man in reduced circumstances
and needy, WHO wants to outfit himself
with another mans clothes at a trif1ing
cost, but generally he is a Speculation.
1.-The Chnaman is glad to let the clothes
go for the amount of the wash dues
against them, and the speculator strikes
any number of bargains, for generally
linen worth a Chinaman's work is worth
the few cents asked for THE charges
against it. These spectators go around
from laundry to laundry, and wagon
loads of goods are bought up by them
for almost nothing. 1t is pretty much
of lottery for the willy Chinee will not
permit tine speculator to examine the
contents of the bundles before buying.
He is like man buying pig in poke,
and the only guide he has is what the
Chdnaman tells him Is in the bundle.
Mems garments bought by the specula-
tors are sold to second hand stores,
sailors and negroes.
"Women's clothes are not often left
uncalled for, and very seldom are any
Of them left on the upper shelves of the
laundries. A bundle of laundry on which
the dealer in them pays 80 cents for the
washing Win net him generally three
times his outlay when he has peddled the
contents OF the package. At least dozen
men in New Orleans are getting rich
buying up unclaimed laundry bundles"
