BROADWAY BREAD LINE"
WILL SOON BE REMOVED

NEW k.-FleisChmann famous
~ bread line" will soon disappear
from Broadway. The bakery which
for many years has nightly given a
Wasonload of bread to suffering and
starving pilgrims. after the bells on
Grace church next door tolIcd the
hour of midnight will be ra2ed in the
spring and the bakery will occupy a
larger and more modern building up
town near Central Park.
The bread line" is beyond ques
tiol Greater New YOrk's sweetest
charity. Many years ago when Fleisch-
mann, the wealthy baker died a pro
vision was found in his will that no
man should be turned away who asked
for bread at my bakeshop' AS a re
suit the bread line" was established
Tho bakery is located at Broadway
and Eleventh street next to Grace
church. with the st. Denis hotel Op.
posite, and Wauamaker's store on the
corner. At nine O'Clock every night
the bread line begins to form and pre-
Cisoly at midnight a half dozen at
tachcs Of the bakery begin to distrib-
ute bread and rolls to sometimes as
many as 500 mon and women, And as
these almost famished wanderers
shuttle up to the door of the bakery
with hat in hand or aprons stretched
TO receive a half loaf Of broad or a
few rolls there Is no better place In
the world to study human nature, for
the line is heterogeneous one
every class and type of humanity Is
represented, from the professional
yeggman and tramp to the educated
man and woman who through adverse
circumstances and drink have been
reduced to poverty.
The shunling and the COmpaCtnoss
of the line remind one Of the lock step
the prison penal marCh-and it Is
safe to say that many Of the men who
walk in the line TO get a morscl Of
food have served time But that
makes no difference The criminal is
as welcome to the bread as the most
worthy Christian. The men in the
line are all strangers TO each other.
They come from everywhere and all
are too hungry and fatigucd to talk.

penditures for all kinds Of work being

hearty response from those identified

lieye that a great deal Of good will
result from a heart to heart talk be-
tween the congressman who prepare
the appropriation and the officials

WIFE SUES HOWARD GOULD.
For Separation and Alimony Based
On n st,OOO,OOO Income.

New York, May 23.-Katherine
Clemmons Gould has begun suit in
the Supreme Court for separation
from Howard Gould, to whom she
was married in october 1898.
Mrs Gould also asks for perman-
ent alimony, and has estimated her
husbands income at not less than
s1,000,000 year of a principal
which she figures at about 100000,
600.
Mr.. Gould, she says, has spied
upon her every action for years and
has dogged her footsteps everywhere
she has gone. He has even opened
her mail In an effort to get a more
intimate knowledge of her doings.
Failing to obtain any evidence on
which to base n suit, Mrs Gould
goes on to allege, her husband en-
ployed w. c. Woodward, known rs
Big Hawley, to trump up a case
against her on which she might be
charged with bigamy or an annul-
ment OF her marriage to Gould might
be procured. AS he relates It, Haw-
ley was to procure witnesses who
would swear that she had husband
living when she married Gould.
To corroborate and help out Haw-
ley, Mrs. Gould says, her husband
made a deal with certain well known
officers OF the Police Department of
New York City, who promised their
assistance in getting men who would
swear away the character and manu-
facture evidence to suit Gould.
