SECOND PAPER.

even just treatment may be re-
ceived and vile indeed is the treat
ment accorded to the weaker sex
on the Bowery, especially should
youthful bloom have passed. In
all the numerous lodging houses
women can get no resting place
under Is cents while men pay one
fifteenth Of that sum. No restau-
rant serves to woms n under 25
cents per meal. while men pay
five or ten cents as they choose
which brings us to the restaurant
of the Bowery.
The most famous Of these are
the Bowery mission restaurants
run under the auspices of the
Christian Herald. Of these there
are two. at SO Bowery and 25S
Bowery. Both are large, airy
rooms with a marble lunch coun.
ter, oval in shape, in the center
while each side has a counter
running the full length of the
apartment. These restaurants sell
only five and ten cent meals, and
since they are not run for profit
but merely to pay expenses, they
are able to present their patrons
with fairly presentable meal fol-
ten cents, consisting of choice OF
several kinds of meat or fish with
vegetables, bread, butter, coffee
and pie or pudding, while the five
cent counter provides stew OF
hash, bread, butter and coffee,
all clean, wholesome and we'll
cooked. Then there are numerous
small coffee shops where coffee
may be had at two cents per cup,
aanked by a couple ofsmall cakes OF
krullers, but the usual rule carries

Mr.. Browns Scheme.

The chief of the weather bureau
was worried for the weather was
obstinately hot, and those cooling
zephyrs he had predicted failed to
materialize. The press had CON-
menced to abuse his department,
and worst of all he had been made
of late the butt of many small
jokes and had been held up to the
ridicule of long suffering public.
Still all this was not unbearable,
but now every day he received
letters containing threats upon
his life. He had just finished
reading one from farmer in
Missouri who placed all the blame
for his sun-scorched crop upon
the weather bureau, and threat
ened to come to Washington and
send the chief to a hotter place
than Missouri. Just as he pushed
the letter to one side, the door
opened and a clerk entered with
a card. The chief glanced at it
and read: Julius R. Brown
Hillville, Mo. The threatening
letter did not come. from Hillville,
nor was it signed Brown, but still
the signature might have been
fictitious and it would have been
easy to have mailed it at another
Office than the one the sender
usually patronized. The chief
turned to the waiting clerk
"Does he look dangerous, Smith p

clerk. "He says he has some
plans to submit to you; he's got a

An institution as interesting
,and quite as numerous as the
lodging saloon combination
is the pawnshop. The fourteen
blocks composing the Bowery will
show an average of four golden
ball signs to each block, and
thriving business seems to be their
lot. The lesson of the shattered
fortunes that can be learned by
examining the contents OF our
"uncle's" show windows is greater
by far than could be imagined.
Adversely comes to one and all
alike, to some in more violent
form, as may be seen by the med
ais of gold and silver presented to
some hero for valorous conduct
which eventually find haven in
the unhallowed ''hockshop."
Then again may be seen some
fancy article of baby's clothing, a
jeweled rattle or tiny finger ring
with the loved ones name en-
:graved therein, some little thing
that in the days of fortune was
the JOY of the happy youngster,
but whose present resting place
tells it's own pathetic tale. Of
course such things appeal only to
those persons who have magma
ton, and perhaps that quality is
entirely useless in case of this
kind, as the pawned article may
have reached its destination
through many channels, but what
ever is the cause of it being there,
the object lesson remains. the
same.
The pawnshops are only al
lowed to do business from 6 a. m.
to 6 p. m. and consequently the
old tale of the after dark slinker
to our "uncle" is behind the times.
The ''hocker'' opens up bright
and early, as the hours from six to
eight bring him the richest har-
vest of the day. Long before the
place is open may be seen. indi-
~yiduals pacing the opposite side
walk to while away the time till
he or she may squabble with Gun
cle'' over the low price of some
trinket or article of clothing.
A man enters, encased in an
~overcoat or with a mysterious
bundle; in a few minutes he en-
erges minus one or both of those
articles, perhaps jingling as he
comes the few paltry coins re-
ceived and wearing a dazed look
that says: ''There, my overcoat
and vest are gone and here are a
few coins, sufficient, with the strict
est economy, to sustain life for a
few days. No work in sight and
God only knows what I'll do when
this is gone" Well if the man
follows the dictates Of conscience
he strives to economic. But the
chances are more than even that
after having satisfied the cravings
of the inner man by breakfast, he
will proceed to fill up on Bowery
whisky to forget the present hard
circumstances, and as q conse-
~quence a few hours sees the last
penny disappear behind the bar.
Then possessing nothing more
that is pawnable, in order to exist
he helps himself to others proper
4ty and presently finds himself in
the custody of a man with club
and brogue, and the pleasant
prospect of occupying a six by
three with iron bars in the near
future.
It seems that this old world is
2all for man; no matter what his
social status, he gets the best of it
always. So it is on the Bowery.
Man may have the warmest corner
in the GROCERY; he may have the

arm. Why he's quite an old man
and looks like a professor" Sure
" this was not the blood thirsty
granger, so the chief told the
clerk to bring the caller in.
Presently the door opened and
a tall, spare old man entered, car
rying a roll of blue paper tucked
under his arm; look of expect
ancy shone from his intellectual
face. The chief greeted him af-
fably and asked him to state the
nature of his business. "Why for
years [ have been at work to per-
feet certain plans concerning the
weather. replied Mr.. Brown, 'and
of late there has been such unusual
heat and so much suffering from
it that I thought although my
plans are not yet perfected
would submit them to you for in
spection.
"What is the nature of your
theory, Mr.. Brown?'' the chief
asked.
"Why sir" said the old man, 81
have got beyond mere theory; [
mean to control the weather. In
stead of having torrid heat half
the summer and intense cold part
of the winter, [ mean to equalize
the temperature The chief
looked sharply at him; the man
did not appear to be crank, there
was something about him that in
spired confidence. The chief
pressed the button of the call bell
and told the clerk who answered
the summons that he was not to
be disturbed. please explain
your ideas more fully" he said.
The old gentleman spread his
plans upon a table and soon had
the weather man interested in his
scheme. First he showed draw
ings of a huge machine for COM
pressing the air and another for
disseminating it; then he demon
strated how hot air could be COM
pressed without losing it's heat
and cold air made more frigid by
solidifying it. Then the savant
produced other plans from his
roll-plans of long tunnels and
deep pits, and gigantic tubes that
were to reach high in the air.
These tunnels were for the storage
of cold compressed air, the pits for
the preservation of hot compressed
air, and the tall tubes for the dis
sipation of either at the will of the
engineer in charge. Mr.. Brown
explained to the chief that in
early summer the heated atmos-
phere would be caught and COM
pressed, to be stored and liberated
during periods of intense cold in
the winter. The frigid blasts of
winter were to be coralled and
turned loose again to temper the
sweltering atmosphere of July
and August. ut is not my plan,
nor is it possible" explained Mr..
Brown, ''to make the weather the
same the year round, but these
intense hot spells from which we
suffer SO much misery can be done
away with and the heat of summer
reduced to minimum. There is
no need of people sweltering half
the summer and freezing nearly
all winter. The cost of these
machines and tunnels and other
portions of the apparatus could be
