Nee, Year Of
fbeHoboes.
In the Grotto of Modern Miracles.

A1OWHERE in New York city at
III midnight on New Years eve is
l there buster throng of hurry
ing humanity than at the juno
ton of Park row and the Bowery. In
termingled with the throng are merry
panhandlers, as happy as the richest,
for New Years eve is their harvest
time.
Few of the panhandlers who fire.
quent the downtown districts are
plying their vocation as old Trinity
tolls out the midnight hour in the
chimes. The belated ones are hurry
ing to dive at Chatham square, there
to meet brother mendicants and JOY
fully celebrate with the money beg
ged from New Year shoppers.
Here one may witness nightly trans
formations more wonderful than in
Paris which Victor Hugo describes in
"Notre Dame" The blind see. the
dumb talk, the hunchback loses all
traces of his deformity, the deaf hear,
missing limbs are grown in a twin
king, and the lame discard their
clutches and dance in glee
Of all the nights in the year the
gladdest in this dive in the Bowery is
New Years eve. Not until long after
the late dawn does the drunken rev.
elry cease, and then only when the
merrymakers have spent all of their
i'll gotten gains and are unconscious
to their surroundings.
The grotto of modern miracles as in
the rear of a saloon, room 40 by %
feet. Around are scattered tables and
chairs of the cheapest kind. Thick
fumes of smoke from bad pipe tobac
CO, the cheapest cigars made and nau
seating cigarettes permeate the at
mosphere.
The stranger can hardly breathe.
Through the sickening atmosphere can
be detected the Odor of vile beer and
still worse whisky that here is sold
for 5 cents a goblet.
From behind the partition a bar
tender. with half a nose and but
small portion of his right ear to tell
the tale of his battles, dispenses liq-
uor through an opening to a hurrying
waiter
At the tables sit the motley group
Of hoboes, paphandlers and jailbirds
Fortunate beggars who have had a
prosperous day are spending money
freely, small change for the most part
Whisky and beer flow as they have
never flowed before in the year.
Nearly all the mendicants have ar
rived. The last two. known as "Pedes-
trian Patrick and silent James" are
greeted with an uproar
Hanging from the neck of Silent
James is the sign that reads:
