Many Who Seek Shelter In City Lods-

Not many persons would 60 to the
municipal lodging house in search Of
men with fortunes. Yet It is surpris-
Ing the number of fortunes which pass
through this building on the way to
Armenia, Greece, Smyrna and Italy.
Said William G. Yorke, superintend-
ent Of the institution, according to the
New York Herald:
II have discovered men seeking a
nights free lodging here when they
could well afford to stay at any Of the
city's best hotels. In most cases they
have become rich In the United States
and are returning to their native lands
They close up business day or two
before the date on which their vessel
departs, and rather than spend few
dollars of their hoard they come here
to stay for the last two nights in
America.
This means needless expense to
the city and may deprive some man
really in need Of lodging. keep a
man continually looking for these per-
sons who try to impose upon u.s. He
follows q suspicious person from the
time he enters the building until he
has stripped off his clothes and taken
his shower bath. Many are discovered
when they are told to undress. All
dodgers must have their clothing sent
to the fumigating plant before they
are allowed To enter the dormitOries.
If man refuses to let his clothes be
taken from him we Immediately sus-
pcct him and search all his pockets.
Sometimes we find several thousand
dollars in bills sewed into the lining
of his vest. There was such q case
last December.
shortly before that an Armenian and
two children applied for nights lodg-
ing. lie said he was going back to
Europe and that he had just enough
money to pay for his passage in the
steerage. He willingly gave up his
clothes to be fumigated but when he
learned that he must take a shower
bath he Immediately developed a pain
full case Of rheumatism In his left arm
LET me examine the arm said the
attendant. He quickly Jerked the mans
arm out from his side and roll Of
dirty bills dropped to the floor. The
money amounted to almost $4,000. and
upon investigation we learned from
the Armenian society of New York
that the man had $4,000 more held in
trust by them"

CARE OF HOUSE RUGS.

Small rugs should be taken to the
grass plot and there beaten well with
a light whip or rug beaten. Do not
turn over and beat on the wrong side,
as that breaks the rug. The beating
on the surface brings the dirt to the
top, and this should then be swept Off,
sweeping with the nap. not against it,
as this wears out the rug. Lay large
rugs so that when they are swept ii
will always be with the nap. a badly
soiled rug may be washed. Do not at
tempt to wash large, rugs while on
the floor. After a rug has been well
beaten the soiled parts may be washed
out with a solution Of soap bark or
borax and water, using an ounce Of
bark to gallon of water. The rugs
are laid fat for this purpose, and if 1t
is done carefully and the rugs then
wiped off with cloth wrung out of
hot water until dry they will be clean
and bright and in nowise injured by
the washing.
