CONGESTION OF BROADWAY.

Broadway was choked with the glad
some throng not only in its white hght
stretches and around Trinity Church,
whose chimes were smothered in the
tinny roar of the multitude. but the
cross streets leading to transportation
lines were filed with swirling tides of
humanity. Trains and cars had to run
on rush hour schedules until long after
midnight in order to handle the immense
traffic. So much rubbing, jostling. push
ing. 5olting, showing, crushing and
macerating of men and women probably
never occurred in the history of mankind
since the time that Noah pulled up the
gangplank OF the Ark.
Things We're done and undergone that
on any other occasion would have re-
suited in a call for the police. Ticklers
were officially barred, yet lots Of people
got touched up with the feathery wands,
and took revenge in like manner when
the a.ssailant was a pretty girl, or, other
wise, waited for pretty girl in order to
get square. Football rushes were for
bidden. but this merry If bone -perilous
practice was nevertheless INDUCED in
And, say. did anybody hit you in the eye
with confetti or smash your tall hat
down over your ears1
Yes. the college boys We're there and
the ribbon counter clerks with Yale or
Harvard flags, and aristocratic looking
factory girls, and horny-handed coal
beavers, and high-browed folks, and
Brookynites. and husbands and wives,
coryphees and their papas, bank clerks,
artists, panhandlers, pickpockets, law
yers. professors, commuters, gamblers,
sptnsters, tee-hee girls, brokers, grass
: widows, and some more.
It was the lot Of the common people
20 do the '.hollering'' and 20 pledge the
health Of 1910 in stems Of foamy malt
juice or goblets Of mixed ale fortified
with pepper. The duty of unforking
bales Of greenbacks and spreading them
more or less symmetricalIy IN the mar
bic halls Of uptown cafes, hotels and
restaurants devolved upon another class.

WELCOME COST s1,ooO,ooo.

These foster parents of young Janu-
ary, who Is now reported TO be sleep
ing his head off, numbered at least 10O,-
coo, and each Of them contributed not
less than S. toward the youngsters natal
expenses. Remember that the 'teats" in
the better resorts cost five "simoleons'' a
plate and that imported "fizz." owing to
the tariff, could not be uncorked for less
Than 81 so a quart. Altogether, the
metropolis expended 81 100000 in ring
ing out the old and ringing in the new
year, and the doctors are yet to be
heard from. Here is generosity, here is
philanthropy which puts library giving
and college building in the shade. All
this wad Of cash TO welcome little Janu-
cry in our midst.
We are getting TO be the greatest
people on EARTH" said a white-light
Isoniface. as he ordered a new Turkish
rug TO replace one that had had holes
burned in it with cigarette stubs. "In
the last ten years We have made New
Years national fete. Each celebration
is getting bigger than the last one. Joy
oyerfows the carpets and smashes the
glassware. Next time L shall have
leather CUPS, and shall insure the furni-
ture against accident"
Tables at the leading hotels and res
tauraIlts were reserved from two weeks
to three months In advance. People
from Ptttsburg, Boston and Schoharie
Corners came TO town TO sit at their long
reserved seats and assist in the metro
polttan christening Of 1910. Some folks
went 10 the theatre as a preliminary, and
others took gymnasium exercise, bath
and a rundown SO as TO be able to with
stand a hard nights labor. Full dress
was worn by most Of the diners, and il is

nurses figured conspicuously. One OF these
young women was caring for little boy
of nine over in the Italian district of ths

After six days struggle against death,
Henry Dade. the negro porter. who fell
from the eighth story of the Cumber-

cumbed yesterday morning at Emergency
Hospital.
When he first fell, Dade's injuries were
so slight that he would not go 10 the
hospital, but on Tuesday it was dis
covered that he was hurt internally.
For several days it was believed that
he would recover without feeling further
effects. but on Saturday he became IN
conscious.
The accident. which ultimately resulted
in his death, was startling as it was ex-
traordinary. While putting up awnings
on the eighth floor. his foot slipped on
the window ledge and he plunged head

Dade scrambled dizzily to his feet. pro-

years as a groom. and has ridden around
the park with him many times. To-day
Breen received congratulations ali day

said that she was seer down at Cedar
