But where Christmas % 1914 is a
possible turning point for Thomas Car

other day for most Of the Bowery

brated on the Bowery last night N
exactly the way that countless Christ
mas Ewes have been handled in tie
past. The missions we 80 crowded and
men sat in small knots around the
fires i'm the cheap lodging houses.
The street itself was deserted. The
spirit of the season is usually SUI
fcient 10 drive the men inside the
night before Christmas, and what the
spirit left undone last night the
weather accomplished. The streets
furnished scant cheer 20 the homeless.
All of the missions reported ca
pacity attendances. Especially large
numbers were in evidence at the
Chinatown Mission, the Bowery Mis-
sion and the mission Of the American
Rescue Workers.
In all the gathering places along
the street the "down-and- outers"

Thomas Carroll. Bowery rounder and
citizen of the world at large, will SIT
down 10 a Christmas dinner to-day for
the first time in twenty years. On the
afternoon Of December "a, 1895, Car
roll practically walked out Of life. He
has been out OF 10 ever since. But he
is fighting his way back to-day.
Nineteen years ago Carroll lived in
Boston. He had good job and was
engaged TO be married. Late in the
afternoon Of the day before Christmas
he started for the home Of his hancee,
intending TO spend Christmas Eve
there. On the way he met a "friend"
chance meeting that cost him practi-
caly his whole life.
The friend" had half a dozen good
fellows with him and Carroll drifted
along with the crowd To put Il brief
ly, he woke up in Providence a day or
two later, with not the slightest recol-
lection of how he arrived there. The
appropriate thing, in CAROLS mind,
was to 90 out and repeat the perform
ance.
lie did, and afterwards was ashamed
70 return 10 Boston and his fancce.
In some manner he fought out the year.
and when Christmas came again he
used the only method at his command
of throttling recollection. BY that time
he had drifted TO this city and the
Bowery, and had given up all hope of
getting back.
After a time existence became moth
ing but periods between one Christmas
and another, and Christmas was IN
varably celebrated by repetition of
the debauch that cost him his fanc6e.
In recent years some Of the celebra-
tions have been a month in length.
Two weeks ago Carroll was still on
the Bowery, engaged in begging the
necessary money for his annual cele-
bration. A policeman, John f. Leary,
saw him bending over an ash barrel
and for some reason he started TO ques-
tion him.
Carroll, after a time, responded with
the whole story and Leary decided 10
make a contribution 20 the cause OF
uplift. lie fitted Carroll out, gave him
money and found him a job. Carroll

POVERTY SPECTRES
EVICTED BY SANTA
Actor, Who Plays Tunes on
dashboard, and Unemployed
Pugiiist Helped.

There will be a Christmas tree at rs
West 18th st. to-day. To understand
how remarkable this is one should have
visited % West 18th st. say two days
ago. At that time it presented a
picture Of eight families in dire pow
erty, with the spectres Of non-em-
ployment, starvation and threatened
eviction stalking through the rooms.
The spcctres have now been evicted
themselves. and by the National Plant,
Flower and Fruit Guile.
Mrs. George +. Paul, secretary Of
the guild, discovered the house, which
is a rear tenement reached by a queer
little gate and passage. She found the
ianitor and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Purt, an ex-vaudeville artist and
dancer, in great want because their
turns Mr.. Burt plays tunes on a
washboard-are out of date with man
ayers, and what they get for looking
after 26 West 18th st. isn't worth
mentioning. The expire fighter who
occupies the first floor front is also
out of job, his wife is in the hospi-
tai with a bruised face and other in
iuries, and his daughter, May, aged
seven, was discovered by Mrs. Paul
trying TO feed Jimmie and Billy--tive
and two and a half, respectiyely-on
nothing a day.
The family in the rear OF the sec
ond floor was being evicted. A re-
notwithstanding engineer out OF a
lob and his wife were in two rooms
almost bare of furniture because they
rad parted with every stick to buy
food.
Mrs. Paul halted the eviction with
the payment of rent for over Christ
mas. and went out and appealed by
telephone to several officers and mem
bcrs of the guild, among them Mrs
James Roosevelt, Mrs. f. II. Hartman,
Mrs. Edward s. Hardness and Mrs.
John Sherman Hoyt. They responded
generously, and to-day's tree is the
result.
Not only will it be loaded with toys
ard clothes for the eight children IN
the house. but there will be clothes
for the elders, and food as well. The
ouild is trying to find work for the
engineer and the other men. If any
bodv wants a vaudeville artist who
plays tunes on a washboard, will they
please communicate with the guild, 70
