THE BEGGARS OF NEW YORK. ‘There is joy in the United Charities Society over the gentence of Mary Ann Myers, a persistent and rigtbie beggar, to a torm of six months on the Island. ‘Am officer for thie society says that it would require a e@olumn of agate type in The Evening World to print the names of the victims of Mrs. Myors’s mendicant arts, Mrs. Myers was called “Queen of the Beggars.” A rather shabby representative of royalty, but beggar Queens are not permittod fine feathers; it interferes with trade.

It ts a list of the peculiar names of Maine citizens written | offhand by the late Thomas B. Keed, who used to aay that his State could produce more statesmen, foxes, water, deer and peculiar names than any other State in the Union. One day, while speaking of this matter, he wrote dow | this list: Exek Smith. Hassasiah Jones, Liberty Brown, Calvary Thomas, Hope- still Waters, Bana Bullock, Kilah Man ley, Gaion Kirk, Summer Alifiend, Gen- erous Pascal, Uzzah Fellowes, Zoph Harum, Diodamia Gilmore, Mesbach Ca son, Cotton Milliken, Piram Sproull, Le- luva Dickson and Barcillat Sawyer. These men were all personally known to Mr. Reed. oe ‘Though the land is altve with press agents few people know that this branch of truth-perverting {s not a masculine monopoly.

Teeeems only yesterday that the headlines: were tell- tng us of the “return to New York of Mme. Calvé, her figure made lissome dy a vigorous and long-continued ‘treatment of diet and exercise.” In an {interview with a Gunday World representative the prima donna told how she had rid herself of much of her too too solid flesh. “To die of too much fat—that ‘was stupid,” said the diva. So she walked miles upon miles for amusement and “being starved was her diver- on.” At the end of the year by strenuous measures the singer had reduced her weight twenty-five pounds. This happened four years ago, and it is of pertinent interest now because the singer {s in acute fear of death from heart disease. She was then thirty-five and fast growing corpulent. Her heart was not strong. Is her tendency to collapse to be attributed to her energetic en- deavors to starve and exercise her rebellious embonpolat into subjection? Why should those burdened with fat not accept the inevitable and remain happy and hearty? Recourse to drugs or violent athletic movements or Turkish baths or a starvation diet exacts from those whose youth is past a penalty of physical discomfort and mental dis- quiét While the process or “cure” is continued and is apt) to weaken the vital organs. And the moment the eter- mal vigilance which !s the foe of obesity is relaxed the flesh returns in added volume, Only the jockey and the Professional athlete can risk these extreme measures, and they not with impunity, As for the rest of humanity, happy are they who are not tormented by a desire to regain a lost symmetry of figure. If they attempt it they will not leok as well or} teel as well or be as well. SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS. Figures furnish dry reading, but the bare totals of Savings bank report for the year possess a romantic erest, Almost a billion dollars laid aside for a rainy day! It is a record of thrift challenging a nation's ad- miration. New Yorkers are reputed extravagant, but the savings ‘banks of the greater city show large gains over last year 4m the amount of deposits, the Emigrant Industrial lead- ing with an increase of $3,400,000, others following with two millions or two and half, and the Bowery Bank ‘maintaining its pre-eminence over all savings banks in ‘the world. ‘ In this one bank the tollers of the east side have |, 998,000,000 Jaid away, put there dollar by dollar, the 4 surplus of very modest earnings.
