NEW YORK LETTER


ley's curfew law in the "Tenderloin," /"
seems to be Of few nights and full of
trouble. In prescribing that no woman
should appear on the streets after
1890, the captain overlooked the fact
that many honest women are COM
PEELED to be abroad later than that
hour.
This fact the Rev. Mr.. Schwiningen,
rector Of st. Francis of Assist, a church
right In the very center Of the tainted
district. was well aware of, and so, to
protect his parishioners he issued a
card Of identification to every lady of
his flock. certifying that she was well
known to him as u lady Of good char
acter and righteous living, and a true
and sincere worshipper in his church.
Captain Dooley found 1t best to drop
interference with such ladies', after be-
ing caught several times holding up
church members who had as much
right on the street as Dooley or any
Of his officers, Then Magistrate Mayo
discharged a bunch of 26 brought in
by Dooley's subordinates, and the cur
few law was done for.

Immense Steamship Profits.
What n giant is that, the Hamburg
American line has brought across the
sea--the Amerika, the TX" in whose
name happily unites the German and
American peoples. She cost three and
half million dollars, and her maiden
trip cost $4,000; but there was a
profit on the trip OF $93,9S0, as the
receipts were $l49,4S0. How much
Ritz's restaurant cleared is not known,
but 1t cleared the pockets of the
guests most completely. Half a bot
tie OF wine. salad, an entree, and a
bit of chicken cost S.. The biggest
check was for $72. Tne proprietor
could at least promise that there was
more staying power to his meals than
to most of those eaten on shipboard
