BUNK HOUSES AND MEN.
An Interesting Talk on Life in the
Underworld by Alex. Irvine.

An Interesting Talk on Life in the
Underworld by Alex Irvine.
A large company of men were pleas
antly entertained in the South Street
church parlors on Tuesday evening at
the meeting of the mems club. The
meeting was inspired for the proper
observance of the following day by the
singing of couple of Irish love songs
by James Doolittle, a member of the
club, accompanied by Mrs. Doolittle.
President Claude Armstrong intro
duced Alexander Irvine, the speaker
of the evening, who gave an interest
ing and graphic description of the life
of some of the moral derelicts of New
York city. The bunk house, as he ex-
planned it is the lowest round of the
social ladder, and the Bismark, where
he made his field of labor was typical
house. The price of admission, with
the privilege of sleeping in a canvas
bunk without bedding or On the floor,
is seven cents for ten cents one can
secure hunk with bedding which is
changed monthly with the probability
of a different occupant each night.
The height of luxury costs fifteen
costs and includes a locker in which
TO put your clothes, but even then at
the owners risk. The speaker said he
secured a foothold and an opportunity
to work in the building by going there
! and Offering to scrub and clean up the
place which he did, and followed this
up when necessary by sleeping in a
bunk with the other men. He gave
the stories of several of these men
setting forth the humor and pathos of
the life of these discouraged and dis
heartened individuals, and showed
that the only way to reach them was
to select some one person and stick to
him until he was saved, The work for
the masses bringing little result. He
summed up the situation by claiming
these men as brothers and said the
worst of them could be reached by
proper methods.
At the close of the talk an informal
social was held at which refreshments
were served, during which Mr.. Irvine
gave some personal experiences.

the man 3 great love for the woman rise
above self. He was glad she loved the
child SO fondly, she would not be so mis-
cradle. In the child she found happi-
ness he could never give her. Upon the
child the father bestowed the caresses
that the mother SO coldly refused but his
love for her no one could ever have, it
would die with him.
This is a chapter of the story you
could read in Elba Sanders face as she
leaned with unstudied grace, against the
banister that October day. Her great
brown eyes were turned wistfully in the
direction of home as she ever thought of
the East.
Whether she had resigned herself to
this life or was hoping for something bet
ter, she could not tell, she only knew that
she was there, with no knowledge of the
future or what the end would be. She
was simply drifting, she told herself, on
" God knew where.
So absorbed was she in her reverie,
that she forgot the child playing in the
yard with large Newfoundland dog
and weazen faced monkey, in scarlet
dress and cap.
There was sudden cessation of child
ish mirth. The little girl, with her doll
Rugged close to her bosom, pushed her
playmates aside, and stood looking in
tently at two men approaching. Her
companions ceased their pranks, and for
an instant, watched her face. The mon
key then crept cautiously forward to
reconnoiter, his little cunning eyes peer
ing through the iron fence. The dog
sprung boldly forward, uttering sue
cession Of short sharp barks, half ag-
gressive, half welcome. The child went
slowly up the steps of the gallery, an ex-
preston Of mingled curiosity and tim
idity on her baby face. One quick glance
told her that the mother was not aware
Of the approach Of stranger. She call
ed.
Mother, mother. See gentleman
with father.

Surely here was the very sanctuary
OF the arts Of peace. And then, as /
stood there, heard the r l Of drums,
and the clear cry Of the bugle, and
into the open space there swung rank
upon rank of soldiers, marching to the
strains of martial airs. They march
ed and counter-marched, answering
each command, and executing the
most intricate evolutions with perfect
precision. The sun flashing upon
sword and bayonet. the brilliant uni
forms, the prancing horses and the
waving flags, all mingled in the porln
and planopy OF war to make a never.
to-be-forgotten spectacle. The sight
was one to stir the heart Of every
American. And again the query came,
what is the reason for all of this
1t is an inspiring sight, but the beauty
OF it is not the only reason for all of
this organization and skill. And again
there came the answer, this is pref
aration. Beneath all Of the splendor,
there was a certain business-lilke air
that spoke of more than show. Here
were men trained to obey, trained to
march. trained to shoot, schooled
against the day when all of this
sparaphernalia of war would be called
upon to withstand the shock of battle
rather than to grace festival. And

Some ono has said, Some dies many
times before the coffin lid is screwed
down. - Elba Sanders realized the truth
of the words. Had her sister lived, she
would not have thought Of her sacrifice
as useless, but to the unhappy woman, it
seemed the irony of fate, that Jessie
should die three weeks after the fateful
marriage, and she be loft with no aim
in life.
When her period Of mourning had ex-
pired, she threw herself into the mael-
strom of fashionable society, with all the
recklessness of miserable woman, seek
ing the waters Of Lethe.
With unlimited means at her command,

ened wide every door which she had i'm
agined closed against her when her faith
er went down in the business world. She
took advantage Of the opportunity to re-
gain her old place and mounted even
higher. The magnifcence of her cos
tunes, entertainments, and everything
pertaining to her life startled her friends.
Her enormous expenditures frightened
them. As she had predicted to Judge
Latham, she was toasted and fcted, until
She sickened of it all, and turned away
in disgust. It was all SO hollow, 30
lacking in heart interest. While courted
and sought by the best people in her
set, Elba saw and felt painful differ

she bore was. 80 unlike the polished, ele,
giant father who in days past had stood
by her side, an acknowledged favorite
everywhere they won't. She was neither

appeared with him. Even his great
