A Bullet Riddled Cab Recall* an Inci­
dent of tho Terrible l>raft Riot*.
While passing the Metropolitan hotel a
few days ago my attention was attracted
by an old and dilapidated looking cab that
stood in the long line of carriages in frout
of the hotel waiting for fares. It seemed
so out of place among the twenty or more
well kept vehicles that I was about to ask

Of the many curious classes o f charities
In tho vicinity of this city, the ferryboat
fakirs come very near being the most in­
teresting. To the passengers and commu­
ters on the numerous lines o f ferries at
both aides of the city they have been a
source of amusement for many years.
Probably the most interesting and wel
come character on the boats is an old negro.
He begins operations with the rush of
traffic at 5 o ’clock in the afternoon.
He takes a seat in the rear of the men’s
cabin, und just after the boat starts he
walks into the passageway between the
two cabins and begins to whistle, very
softly at first, “ The Mocking Bird.” With-
out a single break he finishes the air, a
marvel of sweetness and simplicity. Then
he begins it nr'ain. This time a little louder
and with variations.
Old men put down their papers and lis­
ten intently; the conversation becomes
subdued and then ceases; the boys leave
their seats and stand at the entrance to the
passageway, but the old darky never stops,
and all the time his wonderful exertion is
becoming more and more melodious.
Finally be launches off into a aeries of
sweet toned notes, and a look o f mingled
interest and admiration steals over the
faces of all within hearing distance. Then
he drops back into the air again and the
tune is finished very softly.
APPEALS TO WOMEN.
The old negro then walks to the end
of the cabin and, holding his hat out, hows
low and passes around the seats, all the
time whistling some lively little tune, in
terspersed with melodious variations. The
nickels, dimes and pennies rattle an accom­
paniment to his music and his nightly col­
lections vary from $fi to $13. On Sunday
nights lie can be seen on the boats running
from Port landt street, and t hen he selects
the ladies’ side of the boat. Standing under
one of the chandeliers, with his hat in his
hand, he whistles “ Nearer, My God, to
Thee,” and repeats it with variations. All
of his selections on Sunday nights are pop­
ular hymns, and for his sweet and soulful
rendition o f them he is well repaid.
Lately the attention o f tho passengers
has been attracted by a deformed boy, who
works upon the different lines from early
morning until late at night. His entire
leftside is paralyzed, shortening his leg
and drawing up his arm. The side of his
face is also affected. His clothing is poor
and sepnty.
When the boat is well out in the river
the boy enters the forward door of tho
lady’s cabin and stands for a moment at
t he threshold, apparently uncertain what
to do. Then he takes from an inside pocket
of his coat two lead ¡»encils, sharpened and
provided with rubbers. H olding these in
iiis perfect hand he limps slowly aronnd in
front of the seats, pausing a moment be­
fore each passenger, mutely asking them
to buy.
His face is a picture of despair, and many a
dime and nickel aredropped into his hand.
Nino out o f every ten passengers refuse a
pencil after they have given him alms, but
if one is taken he continues his journey
holding the remaining one out for sale.
If that too happens to he taken the little
fellow dives down and brings out two
more from his inside pocket. The little
scheme succeeds admirably, and he does
not dispose o f more than four or five pen­
cils a day. The boy is a professional beggar
and under tin* eyes and training o f his
father.
ATHLETIC FEATS.
Among the most interesting characters
are two brothers between the ages of I I
and 17 years. As soon as the boat is well
on its trip they appear at one end of the
cabin and one of th en , taking off his hut,
says:
“ Gentlemen, if you have not got any ob­
jections wo would like to entertain you for
a few moments. Although we make our
living this way, we only ask for what you
think we are \\orth.”
Both bow, and with a quick movement
the younger lad puts his foot in hi* broth­
er’s hand and is thrown high iuto the air.
Turning a back somersault he lauds on his
feet on the floor. Picking himself quickly
up he mounts on his brother’s shoulders
and again turns backward to the floor.
Throe or four more combination feats of
this nature are i,e'*omplished, when the
two boys stop for a moment’s rest and then
go at it again. They turn forward and
backward somersaults, leap to one anoth
er’s shoulders, and finally walk around the
cabin on t heir hands.
During trips where the cabin is filled
they are roundly applauded for their work,
and both live nicely from the collections
they make. They have at different times
fillet! small engagements, but they say
there is more money in the ferry boats for
them, and besides they are their own mas
tors.

Comfort in Shoe*.
A "retired shoe dealer, whom mercenary
considerations no longer deter from giving
adviee as to the proper care of shoes,” says:
A pair of shoes matle of good leather will
last much longer if properly cared for than
when neglected. When shoes are only
blacked the leather soon becomes hard and
dry, the best fitting pair will be uncomfort
able, anti here ami there little cracks will
appear, which will soon become chasms.
Kvery week or two the blacking should In?
wipetl off with n damp cloth, the shoe
should be allowed to dry, ami then be
rubln'tl with the tast hiirncss oil.
Kvery part, including the sole and the
seams, should I k * oiled, anti the oil given ¿1
chance to soak in. The toughest le.ither
can l>e made soft in this way, and good
leather will, after this treatment, feel like
kill. The shoe will wear three times as

Neutralizing Lightning l*i»in*.
A singular phenomenon of the lightniug
flash is that its chief effects are observable
only at the points of its entrance and exit.
Thus a flash which entered a school room
injured only the first anti last child on the
form, those tat ween escaping unhurt. The
most effective treatment of lameness and
other ailments due to lightning is the ap­
plication alternately to the head, trunk
aiul limits of a large horseshoe magnet.

of it.
The chronic weaknesses,
functional derangements, and pain­
ful disorders peculiar to vour sex,
can be taken away.
The one
unfailing remedy for them is Dr.
l ’ieree’s Favorite Prescription.
It corrects, cures, and builds you
up. It improves digestion, enriches
the blood, dispels aches and pains,
melancholy and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep and restores health
and strength. For periodical pains,
internal inflammation and ulcera­
tion, weak back, leucorrhea, and all
kindred ailments, it’s a positive spe­
cific— one that is guaranteed. If
it fails to give satisfaction, in any
ease, the money paid for it is re­
turned.
