NEW YORK.-With an army, conser.
" vatively estimated at a quarter of

ployed partly or wholly at night, New

as are other cities during the hours
that from time immemorial have been
dedicated to labor.
The glitter, the glimmer and the
glamor of the Gay White Way" and
its environs must, from their very
noise and brilliancy, attract attention
to the exclusion of all other consider
atoms, after the sun goes down and
the myriad imitation suns come up.
But that quarter million of workers
is there-not so accessible, not 80 cas-
lily stumbled upon, and far less noisy
In every part Of the city one may
find these human moles. Some of
them have worked at night so long
that the sunlight makes them blink,
like 80 many owls. Others do some
Of their work in the daytime. But
with this latter class the real stride
Is not reached until after dark.
Years ago New York began the &C.
emulation of its corps Of night work
ers. Gradually it has added to its
numbers. So easy and quietly has
been this increase that it has attract
ed not the slightest attention, unless
1t be among the workers themselves.

theless the committee retains what the

the house, where the majority follow

was almost supine. If there is any
difference between the old committee
