The push cart is officially declared to | be @ nulsance and the pubile will cheer- fully welcome a mitigation of the plague. Appreciating that the number of push carta has rieen above the needs of the community the present city ad- miniatration will adopt means to reduce the number of licenses. Rkdical changes will be made in the ordinance governing push carts. Ono ctange will be an increase in the li- nse fee from the present $1 rate to 0 and the renewal fee from §2 to %. Formerly a push-cart cense cost tho applicant $15. Then the number of il- censed push-carts was small, but with the reduction of the fee to $4 the num- ber increased by bounds until to-day there is in Manhattan alone an army of nearly 7,00 push-cart peddlers, ‘These \uUnerants have taken possession pra tically ot whole sections of the city streets to the detriment of traMe and the dismay of thousands of small shop- keepers, There is some talk of officially ban- igyhing the push-cart nulsance entirely sance or abulish it altegether. ‘These itinerants have long been a ‘sur uae 6 court officers, fottered to the bench and} ; z State Honor, I will move away | bone of contention {i the Street-Clean- exe pevnle and T guess that wi fier Be They are right when they didn'¢ ti ‘4g not love me and T'do not love to move," sald tho WHAT!

Fillingham, the Arch- Enemy of Ritualism, Sails for England, Still Threatening to Return Next Winter. CRANKS CALL TO SEE HIM. One Said He Was a Messenger from God and the Other Wished to Advise Him on the Conduct of “the War.” Much elated over what he declares to be a very successful opening of the antl- ritualistic war in this country, the Rev. R, C. Fillingham, of England, sailed to- day in the steamship St. Paul. He still {nsists he will return in February and begin an active crusade against the high churehyeervices in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. The Rev. Mr, Fillingham has aroused so much interest among churchmen and others that he could not get away from the country without having an experl- ence with cranks. Two men—one de- claring that he was a messenger from God and the other that he had a reve- latton as to how the coming “war’’ should be carried on—attempted to see Mr. Filllngham to-day, but nelther was successful. Mr. Fillingham said that he had recelved letters from all parts of the country apparently written by per- sons of the same class. Mr. Fillngham declared that Bishop Potter's letter telling him he would be thrown out if he raised a disturbance in any chureh here was a source of amuse- ment aad gratification to him. “I did not expect him to answer m "he sald, “but I wish he as very letter he writes strengthens my, cause, When I return the war will be on. I will walt until I see what they expect and then act ja a way and ata time when they least expect action." Before sailing the pugnacious vicar cabled to a friend in Hexton: “Had hot fight with ritualists; will re- new fight in England.” <<. SANDBAGGED AND ROBBED. ASLEEP, HE TUMBLED | ,° OUT OF A WINDOW. Policeman Thought He Was Killed, but the “Dead Man" Sald “G’wan an’ Let Me Sleep.” Patrick Canty fell: out of a window on the second floor of his home, at No. 401 East Eighteenth street, early to-day | and when Policeman Cornell picked him up he begged to be allowed to re- sume bis night's sleep. Cornell was passing Canty'’s home when he toppled from the window. Upon seeing the man's body strike the sidewalk he thought tt was a case for the Coroner and telephoned to Belle- vue Hospital that a death by violence had occurred. ‘Then he rushed back to where Canty lay. As he leaned over the prostrate man he heard a long sigh and he seized Canty's shoulders. “Ah, go ‘way and let me slecep,” murmured Canty. By this me an ame bulance in charge of Dr. Moore had arrived and the supposed injured man was hustled to the hospital. There he renewed his declaration that he wanted to sleep and objected vigorously to being thum mped by Dr. Moore.

For eome time he has been suffering from nervous prostration and a week ago last Monday he left his work, telling his superiors he would have to take a rest, as he was no longer able to hold a pen. On Monday he received a note from his employers that unless he returned to work they would have to put some one else in his place, not discharging him, but forcing him to lose his chance of advancement, He went to work on Tuesday, he says, filled up with mor- phine, but found he was unable to do the work. Adout the boarding-house last night he seemed particularly despondent and told weveral persons that he believed he would kill himself and end everything. Mary Richards, a waitress in the house, was passing his room at midnight when she was led to look in by hearing sroans. She found that Beer had cut an artery (n his wrist and was slowly bleeding to death. A policeman was called in and after binding the arm he took the young man to the West Twen- tleth street station. He had been tn his cell only 2 few minutes when It was believed he was making an effort to hang himself with bis suspenders, ‘These were taken from him and Doorman James Furnival after that occupled a seat in front of Baer's cell, {t being feared that he would tear off the bandages and let himself bleed to death unless ne was watched MRS.
