“4 CH Mr. and Mrs, Asher Bring Unaccustomed Tears to Bowery Eyes. CHUCK IS A PESSIMIST. Chinatown Character's Estimate May Be Wrong, Though, for Effects Were Shown, ——y By Irvin 8, Cobb. While the Rev, William Asher and his plump, pretty wife were preaching eee alnging—he preaching and she sing- fng—to the crowd In Gawge Gallagher's back room, at No. 1% Be Mgnt, Chuck Connors, of Chinatown, stood jus’ $ng the services in broken de ever the swinging doors swung “Naw, I ain't goin’ in none,” said Chuck, replying to an Invitation “Dere's a guy behind de bar inside @m: ain't no friend of mine and, be- sides, I don't know about dis here gape! game. Goin’ to & preachin’ ® ginmill down t de devil skate; it's | mon; and I ain't lookin’ for no novel- thes. “De guy wot's runnin’ dis layout— wot's @ noime, Asher?—he seen me, de other day, in Beefsteak Joln's. where I'd been wearin’ de feedbag, and | the asks ce to go wil his outfit t'ro de; Bowery, and interduce him around. ‘My friend,’ I rays, ‘dere's nothin’ doing, It ain't in my purfession, and I ain't de one to ecab on annudder man's job.’ ‘At dat, I guess he's on de level, and I wish him well “Say, does de preacher pass de hat? No? Well, a good thing. Dere's places in dis neighborhood where he wouldn't git do hat back.” Guests from Dime St. Regises. Gallagher's place is a branch of Bar- ney Filnn’s, under separate manage- ment. It lies fairly in the midriff of the 10-cont-horel district. Guests from every ime Bt.

In the main, the service ran along pretty much as It @i4 in the Cob Dook saloon, at No. % the night before: ‘The piano player doused his cigarette, closed down the lid of his plano ond gave his yellowed fingers a vacation from work, moying his stool back to make poom for Mra. Asher's tiny capsule of an ofwan, She sang o hymn of homely words ina clear, sweet soprano. When @hb got to the chorus half « doaen quayering voices chimed in with Preached Street Vernacular, Mr. Asher stood upon a chair and, sing the vernacular of the street, talked twenty minutes from the text “What shall it profit a man?” If was @ straightout appeal for Mv-| ing cleaner lives. Then Mrs. Asher sang | egain—a song about a mother and 4) wandering son—and 4 lot of the women and two or three men began to sniffie, and some even to sob aloud. Mrs. Bird lenelt on the floor ani praye Prayer “for these boys and @he called them, Mr, Asher A service for to-night at Beotty 1 place, in Chatham Square, and the meet: | ing was over.
