INTERESTING TOPICS FROM
AMERICA’S GRREATEST CITY
New York — New York always to
the fore in novelties of every kind has
developed a new kind of beggar The
new type which -has been given the
somewhat incongruous name of “Gen-
tleman Beggar” may be found any
evening along the most fashionable
streets of the Tenderloin district The
beggars of this type are dressed in
the most up-to-date fashion evening
clothes patent leathers etc and pre-
sent the appearance of wealthy club-
men The only thing incongruous
about them is that they are walking
’nd not riding in cabs And that is
the point which they rely upon to help
them in their business - They ap-
proach woll-dresed and apparently
well-to-do strangers with a familiar
“Ilalloh old chap” and then try to
borrow a dollar or more for cab fare
They pretend to have left their money
at home and never fail to ask the per-
son accosted for his card so as to be
able to return the borrowed amount
“the first thing in fhe morning” Of
course the morning never comes It
is said that even young but impecuni-
ous clubmen of good families practice
this new method of “touching” and by
It earn enough to keep up their stand-
ing in their club and enough besides to
live upon in frugal style
With the perverse reasoning usually
attributed to the gentle sex a woman
in this city cut one of her husband’s
ears off the other day because He
talked too much to suit her It never
occurred to her that the surgical op-
eration performed by her with re-
markable neatness was not likely to
remedy the evil Cutting off the ears
would undoubtedly have proved an ef-
fective remedy had the woman cut her
own ears off but to amputate her hus-
band’s ear was a blunder unless the
man did his talking with his ears
which is not probable
A construction job the like of which
has been done but a few times in this
city will be the erection of a modern
edifice for the Roman Catholic Church
of St Vincent Ferrer at Lexington
avenue and Sixty-sixth street The
architects have arranged to leave
the present edifice undisturbed during
construction The new church will be
built around the old one which will be
razed when the exterior of the pro-
posed building is complete
Residents of Morristown N J are
owners of the house which has been
expressing the hope that in future
the owners of the house which has
been the home for many years of the
family of the late Gen Joseph W Re-
vere will preserve it for the sake of
its colonial and revolutionary history
as it is one of the few houses of that
time in this country The house with
all its furnishings is shortly to be
mouth ends that branch of this old
revolutionary family The bouse was
sold as the death of Mrs Reere last
known fur many years as the Sansay
house and it was here that Gen La-
fayette attended a ball given in bis
honor on his visit to this country In
1825
The decraese in the demand for
steel pens due to the general use of
typewriters for correpsondeirce pur-
poses combined with lack of progres-
slveness on the part of the members
of the firm caused the failure the
other day ’of the oldest pen concern
in this city It was founded in 1830
by the father of the two members of
the firm who in those days did a
flourishing business In goose quills
and lead pencils He was responsible
for the Importation of the first steel
pens used In the United States and for
half a century was the principal Im-
porter and dealer in steel pens in this
city He was succeeded by his sons in
1872 and when the demand for steel
pens decreased with the introduction
of typewriters the brothers tried to
improve conditions by adding a line
of stationery to their stock of trade
The experiment proved disastrous
however and they were forced to go
into voluntary bankruptcy
Only a few months ago a girl in
Newark gained considerable notoriety
and praise in the newspapers for the
bravery which according to her own
statements she displayed in an alleged
encounter with a bold burglar in her
aunt’s house If the girl had chosen
to rest upon her laurels everything
would have been well and she would
have retained her reputation as an
heroine to the end of her days But
the fame she had won by her first
“deeds of heroism” awakened a taste
for more in the girl and she arranged
another encounter with a fictitious
burglar Her miss en scence was so
lacking in dramatic realism however
that the prosaic dectectives saw
through her threadbare plot and not
only pronounced the whole thing a
barefaced plant but also strongly In-
timated their doubt of the genuineness
of the first burglary yarn
Among the numerous queer charact-
ers that may be found in this cosmo-
politan city there is probably none
more queer than a certain ministerial
looking negro of sauve address and
sanctimonius air who ’makes the
rounds of the city during the day col-
lecting charitable contributions for all
kinds of negro charities mostly in the
South while at night he thrills Bow-
ery crowds with his indubitable prow-
ess as a prize fighter He is a clever
boxer and has quite a reputation as
a successful local pugilist throughout
the Bowery zone Even in the prize
ring he never drops his sanctimonius
air and in the beginning of his career
he caused no little merriment and
banter among his spectators by kneel-
ing down for a short prayer before the
beginning of every bout But the Bow-
ery boys became used to his antics
and as he proved a clever and plucky
fighter they forgave him his little pe-
culiarities and held the “Fighting Par-
son” in great respect
The sea serpent crop has utterly
failed this year but the season seem1:
to have been decidely favorable to
the development of a fine spook crop
Spooks have been reported from time
o time from a number of placer
around New York Tae latest reports
are from Newton N J where a full
grown ghost is cutting up considerate
in an Isolated farmhouse and from
Montclair N T where children and
overgrown persons are nightly terri-
fied by the appearance of a black
spook-cat black with bushy tail and
fiery eyes

WHO WAS THE MAN7
A Methodist minister in a small
Western town entering the office of
the local weekly said to the editor:
“I am soliciting aid for a gentleman
of refinement and Intelligence who is
in dire need of a little ready money
but who is far too proud a man to
make his sufferings known”
"Why” exclaimed the editor push-
ing up his eye shade “I’m the only
chap in the village who answers that
description What’s this gentleman’s
name?”
“I regret” said the minister “that I
am not at liberty to disclose it”
"Why It must be me” said the edi-
tor ‘ It’s me sure Heavet? prosper
you parson: in your good work”
The size of paper currency will be
reduced one-third making it less bulky
to carry around We hope we will be
able to see one of the new bills when
they come out
