It has caused a great many per sons to make a rather close study of the sidewalks of the city, and no doubt many of them live in the constant hope of picking up sometning very valuable. They have all sorts of wild dreams about finding Jewelry more or less valuable, and big rolls of money, and things of that sort. I am now speaking of the unhappy and extremely unfortunate class we find in the city, whose life Is spent in searching the sidewalks and the gutters for whatever trltie they may pick up. I have in mind a different sort of people people who are more cultured and more refined and whose minds have, by degrees, bent into the groove. Maybe some of them have found something at some time or other, and this has caused them to search, more or less diligently, the sidewalk as they rush along the street. I know of one case of this sort, a young man who has been so intluenced by the habit that he goes along the street with his head down, often passing his nearest and closest friends without seeing them. He made the statement to me a few days ago that during the past year he had found six silver dimes on the sidewalk, and he had gradually drifted into the habit of searching the sidewalks with his eyes as he passed along the streets. 'Besides.' he said. I am always reading the lost-and-found column in the newspapers, and the thing has a sort of fascination for me. It has produced a perpetual condition of mental excitement, and, of course, I get a great deal of pleasure out of it.' Now, here Is a curious thing. Men for some time have indulged the foolish habit of counting the cracks in the sidewalk, or telegraph poles, and touching things with their hands, but few of us have been aware of the existence of a class of men who are constantly trying to find something as they brush along the street. When we have found men looking Intently at the sidewalk we have supposed that they were counting cracks, or trying to keep from stepping on cracks, or making some sort of curious study of the sidewalk's topography, but Instead we now learn that they are actually looking for wealth, trying to find something that somebody else has lost.

SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 14.-E. A. Schroeder, of New York, a tobacco salesman and son of ex-Mayor Schroeder of Brooklyn, shot himself through the head to-day on the train from Jacksonville. He had taken the drawing room on a sleeper, and it was in this that his dead body was discovered when the conductor went through to take up the tickets. On the body was found a letter addressed to the public, in which was written: "I have committed a great crime. The law cannot punish me, hence, I punish myself." Another letter requested that his father and his wife be notified. It is believed the young man was mentally unbalanced. The body is being held at Waycross for instructions from New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Schroeder was married six weeks ago to the divorced wife of ex-Alderman Howard P. Okie, formerly Miss Chesborough, a sister of Mrs. Roland B. Molineux. , Harvard and Yale Grafters. From the Autobiography of a Thief, in Leslie's Monthly. It was about this time that I met Colonel Brace and the professor. One was a Harvard graduate and the other came from good old Yale, and both were grafters. When I knew them they used to hang out in a joint on Seventh street waiting to be treated. They had been good grafters, but had lost their nerve. Through hop and booze they had come down from good forgers and queer-shovers to common shoplifters and petty larceny scum. We used to treat them in order to hear them talk, for they could talk like angels. It was a liberal education to hear them. Some of the finest talks on literature and politics happened in that saloon. They had good manners and we liked them and staked them regularly. They used to write letters to politicians for guns who could not read or write. I often staked Colonel Brace to 25 or GO cents' worth of opium. They always kept together. If one of them had 5 cents he would go into a dive and pour out almost a tumblerful of boose. Just as he tried the stuff his pal would come in, as though by accident. If it was the colonel who had bought the drink, he would say to the professor: "Hello, old pal! Just taste this fine whisky. It tastes like 10-cent stuff." The professor would take a sip and was enthusiastic. They would sip and exclaim in turn until it was all gone, and no other drink ordered. This little trick grew into a habit, and the bartender got on to it. but he liked Colonel Brace and the professor so much that he used to wink at it. Unique Enajaajement Gift. Brooklyn Eagle.

"Whenever I hear people talk lbout the ruling passion." said the girl who writes for a living. "I always think of a striking example I came across a year or so ago.
