MADE HAPPY AT BoWERY MISSION.
Breakfast Served to Five Thousand Men
Gifts Distributed to Children.

The giving Of dinners and other good cheer was
continued yesterday at the Bowery Mission. Long
lines of men stood in front of the mission nearly all
night extending around into Canal and Bayard sts.
and when the doors were opened they were ad-
mitted in such number to fill all the seats that
were ready. Four policemen and ten men from
the mission assisted in keeping the crowd In order
About five thousand received meals. The dis
tribution of food included 6SS pounds of turkey TIL
pounds of ham, 200 loaves of bread, 800 mnce PIES
1000 crulIers, 1000 oranges and 1000 apples.
While the police had difficulty in handling the
crowds Of men, it was not TO be compared with the
task that confronted them between and p. m,
when gifts of toys and sweets were made to the
poor children of the lower East Side. Preparations
had been made to serve between 1000 and 1000 OF
the little ones but it estimated that twice that
number besieged the doors from early morning until
late in the afternoon.
This affair was in charge of Mrs. Sarah j. Bird.
of MontcIair n. j., who is known as the Mother
of the Bowery Boys" She was assisted by Mrs.
Aroy and a score of other women In the mission
had been erected big tree, that was covered with
quantities of toys and candies. All of the children
that assembled early in the morning and waited
impatiently for the opening of the doors were
ragged and most of them were very small. An
entertainment was given in the afternoon including
fast as one detachment of the throng had been
served another was permitted to enter. until the
last orange, toy, apple and bag of candy had been
distributed

SANTA FORGOT THEM.
Building Shutdou0n Made Poor
Pickings for Many Mechanics.

To thousands of people in the building trado.
yesterday OF the dullest Christmas DAYS
they have had in years. A building season of un-
usual promise, lost to them through the shutdown
of the summer, made Santa Claus stingy in his
gifts in the houses where hundreds Of working
have their homes.
Last year the members Of the building trades
unions had long busy spells during which tbav
earned double wages for overtime. Thus for MANY
weeks at time SO day would have been a fair
average for the earnings Of men in the skilled
trades. This year they were earning nothing and
the members Of unions who happened to be work
ing were assessed at times to help others in the
fight against the arbitration agreement OF the En-
ployers' Association.
Many honest workingmen yesterday accepted the
hospitality OF the Salvation Army and other beney
client organizations. Most of these single men,
and they could eat their dinner with OF self
respect. as in more prosperous days they contrib
uted to funds for such purposes.
The greater number of the workingmen remained
at their homes, however. and made the best shift
they could to celebrate in the traditional way.
The men who were In the hardest straits yester-
day were members OF Local No Of the iron work
ers, who stood by that organization until it was
too late, and the door was closed to them in the
new union of housesmiths. The greater number of
these are single men. the married men being the
first to break away and join the union before
its books were closed. These out of work gem
orally hang around their meeting places throughout
the day, but yesterday these places closed. a
walking delegate who has been through
strikes said last evening, when asked where such
people had gone:
1T has often puzzled me to know what people in
their case do holidays. They seem to disap-
pear altogether. Most OF them live IN the CHEAP
lodging houses along Park Row and Third-ave
and at some of the cheap restaurants 1t is wonder
full to think how fair Christmas dinner a man
get for Is cents. including turkey and plum
pudding. Some OF these cheap restaurants have
good, clean food. and the people running them Law

Money sent early in the week from one or
two locals, including the Pittsburg local. to Local
No. 2 OF the iron workers. This was given to the
who needed It most, and these were men who
followed Parks bllndly, but In good faith as far as
they were concerned. One Of these men was asked
last night how he spent Christmas.
