T Uhe \ jVeto year ojF \ the Hoboes. \ . ^ In Mm Grotto of Modern Miracles. \ m y OWHERB in New York city at ] JVJ midnight on New Year's ere is A q there a busier throng of hurry- ( ing humanity than at the June- , tlon of Park row and the Bowery. In- j tenuingled with the throng are merry panjiandlers, as happy as the richest, for New Year's eve la their h-rver. time. Few of the pasha mil. -a who frequent the downtown districts are plying their vocation us old Trinity tolls ont the midnight hour In the chimes. The. belated ones are -liurry - lug to a dive At Chatham square, there to meet brother mendicants and Joyfully celebrate with the money begged from New Year shoppers. Here one may witness nightly transformations more wonderful than In the famous "Court of Miracles" In old Paris which Victor Hugo describes in "Notre Dame." The blind see, the dumb talk, the bnncbback loses all truces of his deformity, the deaf hear, missing limbs are grown tp a twinkling, and the lame discard their crutches and dance in glee. Of all the nights In the year the gladdest in this dive In the Bowery is New Year's eve. Not until long after the late dawn does the drunken rev-

merrymnkers have spent all of their ill gotten gains and are unconscious to their surroundings. The grotto of modern miracles is In the rear of a saloon, a room 40 by 20 feeu Around are scattered tables and cbnire of the chejjieKt kind.

Nearly all the mendicants have ar- , r rived. The last two, known as "Pedes- , • tiissi Patrick" and "Silent James." are greeted with an uproar. , Hanging from the neck of Silent , James Is the sign that reads; , O 1 DEAF AND DUMB. ^ The sign he casts aside, and, with a I yell, be dances and laugbs aud calls upon all present to drink at his ex- . ) pense.

You must hope for the luck, moreover, of having the first to enter a dark haired tunu. Seeking to know what good or evil the New Year would bring, superstitious people In the long ago girt themselves with swords aud sat on the roof of their houses on New Year's eve. They also knelt at the crossroads (on a cowhide) for the same purpose. The first thing brought one might think, would be pneumonia. It Is bad luck to carry anything out of the bouse on the New Year before something-has been brought in. But the t>est luck of all. which even most scornful of portents may not despise.
