HERMIT
NEARS HIS DEATH
Strange Old Character Has Been
a Recluse in Heart of City
for 80 Years.

New York. June THE Hermit Of
Broadway is dying, a little, old, wrinkled,
grizzled Spanish gentleman named Manuel
Martinez who for 80 years has lived in
the Broadway Central Hotel. cloaking
himself in seif-created solitude most
odd and astonishing, considering that he
has passed all those years In a neighbour
hood teeming with human activity. When
he first went TO live in the Broadway Cen
trail Hotel it stood IN more OF a social
than n business center. In the last two
decades wholesale and retail houses In
all branches of commerce have been es-
tablshed there. In the course OF every
day now more than 100000 persons, afoot.
in the cars. in taXicahs. pass the old man =
abode. The corridors of the hotel are
usually thronged.
But If Mr. Martinez had chosen instead
cave IN a lone mountain he could not
lave achieved a more complete isolation
thar that in which he has l'Ted for 20
years. For months running he would not
leave his room. He has been known not
to descend to the Office of the hotel once
in the course of whole year.
| 1t was not that he fell into mental In
ortia; not that he permitted himself to
degenerate into slothful habits His room
| is a miniature library. He slet little,
! read and studied necessarily. Although
| secluded in his room, he has never aban-
! doned certain fastidousness OF dress
! characteristic Of Spanish gentlemen. His
| linen has been fine and soft, and the other
! appointments OF his attire and toilet have
been In keeping
CHOSE ROOM DELIBERATELY.
He chose his apartment deliberately
| with the idea of shutting himself off
from the world. 1t is high up In the hotel
| and far in the rear. He never sees tho
great crowded thoroughfare without, the
clang of the trolley cars does not pass
his threshold. The only sound he hears
| there are the screams of the factory
whistles, morning. noon and evening
But by the time 1t comes to his ears
| the sound has boon softened into vague
! ness and melody.
: In all the 30 years he has lived there
! the only guest he ever has entertained
within his retreat, save his nephew,
| civil engineer OF this city. was tho World
reporter who interviewed the strange
little Spanish gentleman yesterday att
ernoon. clad In dressing gown and re-
clinirg in a big. easy chair, tho hermit
of Broadway, now eishty-eight years
old, told why he had chosen
so queery to live alone In the
very heart OF a great, noisy, crowded sec
ton Of a big city. He pointed his re
marks with feeble, yet graceful gesture;
Of his fine. old delicate hands. In thu
main his explanation was that an antip
athy toward religion, which appears Il
have developed into an obsession, drov'
him out OF association with his fellow
man.
