MADE LIVING FROM RUBBISH.
Queer and Profitable Occupation Of
Washington Man,.

A queer character who frequented
the streets of Washington several
years ago is said to have recently
passed away in New York city. 1t was
his practice during the regime of the
old street-sweeping machines to go
along the cutters on the main thor.
oughfares of the city every morning
before the hand sweepers were out Of
their beds and delve into the piles of
refuse that had been cast up by ma.
chine sweepers. 1t is said he found
many articles Of value and frequently
money in the rubbish. The boys Of
the streets called the old man "Jack
the Dipper." His right name was said
to be Mccarthy, and he was described
as "lively and full of fun"
One morning just at the peep O.
dawn Mccarthy is said to have un-
earthed a pile of silver dimes and
quarters and some nickels in one of
the street piles. In all the find
amounted to about three dollars, and
the clipper" declared that he felt like
a Rockefeller. The pile was in front
of a barroom, and he thought that the
money had perhaps been lost by some
drunken fellow who fell into the
street after the saloon had closed at
midnight.
Ever afterward he made it point
first to visit the saloon fronts along
his route" in quest of the losses of
some belated drunk" In New York
he is said to have been employed as a
member of the great "flock" of white
WINGS"
