butcher knife for the bloody deed.
Hickok was discharged from the
Sixth Infantry two months ago. He
did not go to the Philippines with
the battalion, as his time was nearly
up. Since his discharge he has been
working at odd jobs in the city, and
for the past few weeks has been EN-
ployed as cook BY Jack Lyons in
eating house on Fifth street.
He has been ON the verge of a
mental collapse for the past three
days, and Friday he suffered from
several wild Authorizations. He la
bored under the delusion that some
one was after him and was seeking
his life. At first his friends treated
his sayings as IA joke. and laughed at
him. but later on they began to realize
that he was to all iItents serious He
borrowed a quarter from Lyons to
go out and get shave in the after
noon, but returned in Il few moments
and threw the money down on the
counter. He said that he was afraid
to get in the barber chair as he might
have his throat cut.
The restaurant closes at half-past
seven in the evening. Hickok re-
fused to leave the building, and be-

was being sought and would be hung
if his imaginary pursuers would catch
him.
few minutes later, Lyons return

with him. They asked Mcdonald
where Hickok was and were told that
he was inside. They opened the door
but could see no sign of him. Hur-

kitchen. they found him in the ex-
IRENE end of the room huddled on
his hands and knees on the floor, a
bloody knife by his side, and ter

gore was flowing freely from the
wound.
Martineson picked the man up and
carried him to the front part of the
building, where a towel was bound
Nightly around his neck to staunch

scous and fought desperately with
the officer, endeavoring to tear his
throat wide open with his hands. A
hack was summoned and the injured
man rushed to St. AleXius hospital.

How It May Strike 4 Stranger Who
Sees II For tho First Time.
Nothing has set America so high in
the estimation Of foreign nations. says
Ellis Parker Butler in Success Maya

national sport. If foreign spy wan
ders into America seeking to fathom
our real inwardness and sees q game
Of baseball any feeling Of contempt
for our newness gives way instantly
to awestruck admiration. At his first
glance baseball is to him q mystery,
and it remains mystery to him. he
sees 10000 men and women suffering
the tortures of the lower regions on
hot grand stands. He sees a man pick
up a small white ball as hard as pine
knot. Facing him is another man who
holds a smooth but deadly club in his
hands. Behind this second man is a
third man whose face is hidden behind
birdcage. Suddenly the man with
the ball raises one foot in the air and
shows the man with the bat the sole
that there are spikes in the sole of the
shoe, and it angers him, and he raises
his bat to throw it at the man with the
ball. But-ah. ha!-the man with the
ball is too quick for him. He throws
the hard. white ball at the man with
the bat with all his strength. The
man with the bat waves defiance by
swinging the bat in the air. The ball
proceeds. The batsman never flinches!
VIII the ball kill the man or will the
impact crush the ball? But, see! The
ball finds man undinching; the ball Is
panic stricken: the ball lodges around
the man; the ball is lost, buried In the
huge leather chair cushion that covers
the hand of the birdcage man behind
the batsman! Strike one!' says the
umpire. Thirty thousand cheers!

TAKING CARE Of TEN THOUSAND
Of NEW YORK'S NUMEROUS POO
How Red Tape Comphcates Work Commissioner vi
able to Use Funds to Meet Special Needs
They Arise System attic Provision For
the Future Is Needed.

CBy Robert W. Hebbard, Ex-Commissi'
tary, State Board O
The care of 10000 poor persons daily
by the Department of Public Charities
in the city Of New York is q task of
stupendous magnitude, calling for the
annual expenditure Of nearly three mil
lions of dollars for running expenses,
and a million and half dollars for
permanent Improvements, the employ
1nent of over 22o0 officers and employees
and the administration Of upwards of
20 important institutions and offices
scattered throughout the city.
In order to care for this large num-
Der Of patients and inmates in hospitals,
homes for the aged and for children, as
well as in the municipal lodging house,
It is necessary to have well equipped
bureaus for purchasing supplies, max
ing contracts in accordance with which
the supplies must be purchased, audit
ing accounts, as well as efficient engi-
neering and mechanical bureaus to see
that the plant is kept running and in
good order. For the transportation
of patients and supplies not less than
five steamboats,, large and small, are
in daily service, while a sixth is used
exclusively for the transportation Of
bodies Of the dead from the morgue and
other points to the burial place at
Harris Island.
Controls Many Hospitals.
The institutions under the charge Of
the department are five large hospitals,
with capacities ranging from 500 to
1900, including a tuberculosis infirmary
with a census exceeding 500, two emer-
gency hospitals, three homes for the
aged one Of which has a capacity of
nearly 300e and a municipal lodging
house equipped to care for nearly 1000
homeless men and women daily. Each
hospital has its own staff of visiting
and house physicians, and the four larg-
er ones have well equipped and eff
cient training schools for nurses con-
nected with them.
There are in addition, six department
tai offices, including the bureau of de-
pendent adults and the children's bu-
reau in Manhattan, the bureau Of de-
pendent adults and children's bureau
in Brooklyn, and the bureau of de-
pendent adults in the Borough of Rich
mond, as well as three public morgues,
: two in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.
To investigate the cases of applicants
for assistance a large force of clerks
and examiners is required at the va
rious offices of the department and are
kept continuously at work throughout
the year.
Appropriations Often Inadequate.
The appropriations for the support OF
the institutions are obtained through
action by the board of estimate and ap-
portionment and the board Of aldermen,
the estimates for which must be sub
TEiitted nearly six months in advance of
the year during which the moneys are
TO be used, and nearly IS months in

Prison Work Affects Wages.
The competition of prison made shoes
has already seriously reduced the scale
of wages paid in free labor factories
Such shoes, generally speaking, are not
so well finished, but wear longer than
those made outside. Firms using free
labor have to use inferior materials in
order to meet the prices established by
the Jail firms. Being largely working

Among the most OBVIOUS effects OF
prison labor are loss of employment by
large numbers of people, a serious re

quality of goods produced by citizen
workers. incidentally, dreadful hard
ships are inflicted upon laborers of that
