NEW YORK, Jan. 13-With the de l torture of a hundred thousand visiting students, parents, shoppers and mem : tiers of family reunion parties,Gotham u today closing one of the liveliest loliday seasons in its whole history. Every niche in the hotels, shops, cars, theatres, cabs and restaurants all over the island' has been crammed for the - last few weeks with this out-of-town horde of vacationists. The regular street life of New Yorkers has been practically submerged in the whirl of the visitors about the entire shopping and amusement districts. No less than ten thousand college boys and girls from the homes of the metropo lis, it is estimated, have to-day left town, while almost an equal number from the far sections of the continent lave broken up holiday visitations with their parents in this common meeting ground. It has been many a Tung year since this dry has seen such a cheerful stir from abroad as has opened for it the promising year of 1909.'..,., , t j WAR OF WORDS. : , 2 Bad blood between the bench and the police department has always ex isted in this towrij but to-day the ris ing clamor of Magistrate Finn and Police Commissioner Bingham is threatening to develope a deadly fued among the men who administer and enforce the law. While "Battery Dan' Finn is volleying stinging sentences over his police court bar at every lluecoat in sight, Bingham is inspir ing his force with sullen defiance of the whole ' judicial tribe by a return fire of pertinent suggestions as to the past of the belligerent Tammany mag istrate. . . Wherever court officials meet a police officer a war of words is rife in every one of the local temples of justice. Neither the former White House major domo nor the former Tammany boss of the Battery is con sidered the man to back down in a matter' of this sort, and it is predicted that their spirited squabble will con tinue to embroil the courts through most of the new year. The law's de lays are serious enough in this town without the added impediment of con stant personal altercation, and every one is hoping that some stop may speedily be put tQ this useless word SUCCORING THE SICK. That the poor and friendless owe more than a million and a half days of free treatment with the best medi cal and surgical attention to the last ten years' work of one of this citys largest hospitals has been shown here to-day. In presenting the living mon ument most fitting to be perpetuated by the American people in the nam of Abraham Lincoln, this remarkabU record of service to black and whit, alike has been obtained by leaders i the national movement to endow thi' Lincoln Hospital and Home for all time Uver tne aoor oi mis msiuu tion, where almost five hundred un fortunates of both races are bein cared for and restored to life an health each day, it is proposed tc raise the name of the great emancipa tor" with a permanent fund of half a million dollars, which are already be ginning to be received for this Lin coln Memorial Fund at 475 Fifth Ave nue. New Yorkers have long known of the great good which this work was spreading all .over the country, where a hundred colored nurses have been trained and sent to extend its scope, and these figures are only ser ving to confirm their idea of the mag nitude of its usefulness at home.

With 400,000 con sumers jostling one another in their ' eagerness' to scramble for the $9,000,000 which Un cle Sam's highest court has ordered Lo be rebated among them, the crum bled and worn gas receipt has to-day become almost common currency all over this 'own. Fully half a million holders of these frayed slips of paper will present them for redemption ust as soon as any provision for the novel financial transaction can be ar ranged for by the authorities. For the pure joy of recovering a few dol lars from the local gas companies many a man is paying premiums to secure the rebate certificates. ' Many another is regretting the careless loss which now might be turned into a pile of pennies. It is safe to say that Go tham has never known a houseclean ing more general or thorough than that which is being made today in search of this household treasure of apparently worthless bits of peper, trove. IRISH IDEA. Half a dozen dejected mules are for the first time threading their way through downtown traffic this week with delivery wagons rolling leisurely in their wake. Imported from their native heath in Ireland, these Irish Spanish draught animals are an ex periment toward making the foreign rule take up the truck-horse. burden in the metropolis. While warm Irish hearts are opening to the idea of re ceiving these products of the old sod, it seems evident that there is more sentiment than speed in the plan. The plucky New York truck truck team can pick up and whirl any load to its destination in half the time that it is taking these Hibernian beasts to think over the problem of starting. The new imports are proving mdre of a success as exhibitions than as aides to traffic. This Youthful Desperado of the South WMttrn Territories Was but Twen ty-ene When Ho Mot Death at the Hands of Sheriff Pat Garrett.

Tho obstacles that Garrett had to en counter called for all his headlong en- orgy and nerv. Billy bad the entire countryside in a state of abject terror; friends were ready to give' him timely warning of pursuit; ranchmen dared not deny htm lodgment or conceal meat Pat Garrett undertook tho capture la i October, 1880, and on Dec. 20 he ur- j rounded the Kid and his band in a ! deserted house near Stinking Springs. ; After a siege lasting most of tho day : tho outlaws' ammunition was exhaust ed Billy the Kid surrendered.
