THE REAL BOWERY.
Swiftly Passing, 1t Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.

Swiftly Passing, 1t Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.
The real BOwery has never been
written up, and probably it never will
be, because it is swiftly passing. Hun
dreds of attempts have been made by
those who have not even penetrated
the surface of it's reserve. It's heart
and souI-fOr the Bowery has both, as
we'll as reserye-are a sealed book to
the writer's. It is q SargassO sea lit
tered with derelicts of all worlds, drift
ing back and forth with the endless
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them is the ceaseleSs activity of
commerce, OF development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease
less cross current which no literary
mariner, cruising in these unCharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know it best and have
some skill in writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
it's endless complications, it's infnity
Of contradictions. it's astonishing good
ness and it's frightful depravity, the
DdLuIuS mystery OIL IT'S WouueILuI hu-
manness and it's fantastic mystery
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only one man
in all literature could have interpreted
the BOWery-and BalZaC is dead.
Most of us know the BOWery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear
some lurid meIodramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less in
diligently, but the melodramas are
weird burIesques, unworthy even Of
being scoffed at, so far as any cOnsid-
Grafton of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re
peated, have built up a fiction that has
come to be accepted as the reality

konqo Natives and Their Dead.

'In the matter of preserving bodies
for burial Kongos, after the usual
binding in cloth, keep them for two
or three months in their houses, where
a fire is kept burning, but in Zombo
they are suspended on two forked
sticks in 4 dugout vault in the ground,
which is covered over with palm
branches and earth" says a mission
airy. Sometimes the body is placed
under a specially built grass roof in
the open. This is not considered a
burial, and some years ago they
brought out for a big funeral feast and
dance the body of an important chief
that had thus been preserved for over
twenty years. In other districts the
dead are thrown away into a river or
into the bush to be devoured by jack
ais and vultureS."

request of Emperor William, Lou Dill
lon, the queen of trotters, will give q
special exhibition of her speed here

NEW YORK, June 12.-Bitten by
the Marathon bug, the National Cycl-
ing association will pull off on Long

Marathon ever held in the world, and
what is likely to prove the greatest

America.
Aside of the crack riders from all

speciar prizes will be awarded in these
classes.
The fact that Bobby" Walthour
the motorpace champion, George Wi
Icy, the Syracuse flier, and other noted
riders have risen from the ranks as
messenger boys has caused Samuel
H. Barnett, former amateur champion
of England, and now president of the
Empire City Wheelmen, of Brooklyn,
to offer the trophy for messenger boys.
There promises to be considerable
rivalry between the boys of the Postal
