It Is believed that, iorgeuing even her own name and ad dress, she has beta unable to tell the persons who are sheltering her, where she lives or who she is. Mrs. Eliza Shepherd, 77 years old, left her room at the Hall house, 414 Fifth street, Friday evening about 8 o'clock. The last trace found of her was that later In the evening she vis ited the Madison street hall of the Sal vation army. From that time no trace whatever of her movements or where abouts can -be found. For several months her mental faculties have been falling, her memory especially being affected, and for this reason it is be lieved that no accident has befallen her but that, as sometimes happens with feeble men and women, she has been unable to tell who she la. The police wore asked last evening by Mrs. Shepherd's daughter to help find her mother, but late last night none of the officers had heard of the pioneer woman's present whereabouts.

A ticket seller In the union depot heard the request late yesterday afternoon and craned his neck forward to see whence It came. Stretching as far toward the level of the window ledge as possible was a small boy. The youngster tremulously repeated his plea for a ticket and dumped out a score of pennies. "Are you all alone?" asked the clerk, for the would-be passenger seemed a trifle under the age limit. -"Tea, but I want to go itery much, indeed; isn't this enough for my tlcketT" replied, the boy. .Raymond Everett, as he proudly gave his name, was passed along from one official to another and questioned by all of them. To show the big men who were so curious that he. had a perfect right to travel all alone, Raymond, who said he was S years old, pulled from his trouser pocket a cap pistol. "I carry this gun; ain't I big enough1 to go on the train?" he demanded. In the end Raymond was led away from the depot by a policeman, although he gazed long ingly toward the long lines of cars as they passed out the portal. After a short stay at tha police station the younrster was sent tff his home on Park street with an admonition not to carry great big guns around in his pocket any more or he would be arrested for carry ing a concealed weapon.

Cleveland, technical director, of the bu beau of municipal research. The main object of the statement Is to induce the city departments generally to follow the example of Comptroller Metz, already copied by Street Cleaning Commissioner Edwards, Borough Presi dent Cromwell and one or two other mu nicipal heads, in having their employes work from 9 a, m. to 6 p. m Where Momsy Is Wasted. The present abort office hours obtain ing In city departments alone, ths re search men estimate. Is to the city 16,000.000 of dead loss.. At least $15. 000,000 more loss, they figure. Is caused by the waste of time by laborers em ployed on c!tv work. If the standards of work which ob tain In private establishments were en forced by the city the yearly pay roll of ISO.OOO.OOO for salaries and wages would be cut to $60,000,000, the saving would be $.10,(100.000 a y ear 'vnou gh to build a new subway each year enough In 30 years to pay the present net debt," as the research men state.
