THE HOTEL BINGHAM. OMMISSIONER BINGHAM'S tel beats the Waldorf in prices. It also violates the sanitary laws and a few other things, but being a part of police headquarters the, sanitary inspectors do not look | after the plumbing, and being also| right under the Commissioner's nose things are tolerated there} which, if they went on in the | Flushing or Staten Island station house, would bring a squad of | | deputies and inspectors in department automobiles. | A Brooklyn young man who spent a night at the Bingham hotel, |No. 300 Mulberry street, has been telling of the prices and the accom- lmodations. He says that the guests are put several in a room, and | ithe rooms are not large enough for half a dozen to lie down at one j time. The sleeping accommodations are a long bench without a mat- | | tress, blanket or pillow. These would be useless anyhow unless a! 'good quality of insecticide were first thoroughly applied to the | | walls, bench, floor and ceiling. However, as no charge is made Hfor lodgings it may be captious for the guests to complain of the lack | lof bedding and the superabundance of animal life. The plumbing | Mis somewhat odorous, but the sewer gas neutralizes other smells. The police headquarters bar charges are ahead of the Waldorf \eafe. A small flask of whiskey is a dollar—two dollars unless the guest has the exact change and knows the scheduled rates. A box ‘of cigarettes is a dollar. Four egg sandwiches cost a dollar. To send ‘a letter costs a dollar and the price for a daily paper is a quarter. | The bill of fare seems somewhat limited. Mixed drinks are not Iperved; neither are finger bowls or napkins supplied guests, scarcity of forks and spoons, but these are not strictly prohibited. | Commissioner Bingham has been recently compleining of the ‘refusal of the Board of Aldermen | to make him an appropriation for secret service purposes. He might ‘take the profits of the headquar- ters hotel, which, so far as appears from the Comptroller’s reports, ‘have never been turned into the city treasury, and use them for the ‘purposes for which the Board of ‘Aldermen refused an appropriation, At the rates which the Brook- ‘lyn young man states, there is a higher percentage of profit in running a police hotel than even in Catskill land option contracts Letters From the People | Young Men of Olden Daya, jteen mer one bunch, and out of that ‘To the Editor of The Evening World number there were not nine men w You had two correspondents several |; Ca GmDy SiGe CRY Se NE weeks ago who wrote about J their «fingers to keep them that ran loose on Broadway in 19. | wa RUt herons a | wish they or « \ Jegrees zero, and about ell 1f young men tn t .ad no covering at all ike the young men day.

Far behind him, but rapidly ga'ning, howled a war party of Indians, * The tugitive was “Kit” Carson, mightiest of the West's early hunters © | and scouts. Pager for the honor of scalping so tamed a “paleface” the In= i dans pressed closer and closer upon the scout's wearied mustang. Carson | had ridden long that day. His pursuers’ horses were far fresher than his ‘own. Another man would have given up hope. But this soldier of fortune ; | who had carved renown and livelfhood out of a hostile wilderness was } | not of the sort who knew when he was beaten, Failing to outstrip his | enemies he resolved to outwit the tricky Indians by a trickery better than their own, For one brief instant he halted his weary horse, slipped to the ground and covered the advancing Indians with his rifle. The savages halted. ef |Dhey thought they understood. The man could ride no further and was . about to sell his life as dearly as possible. There was no need for them to risk { [a any of thelr own lives now by “rushing’’ him.

But long before his foes came within Adventure. rifle range Carson was in the saddle again and = 1 galloping away, And from the long, dry prairle grass where he had halted a blaze shot upward, Then, too late, the Indians saw the trick, The wind was bowing a gale and in their direction. Carson had set fire to the grass. And between him an@ themselves blazed a wali of wind-fed flame that cut off all chance of further pursuit, For at smell of the dreaded prairie fire the Indian ponies snorted and reared, and would not advance, This adventure of Carson’s—one of his many hairbreadth escapes from death—forms the theme of a famous painting. | | The foregoing Inctdent shows more clearly n would a dozen pages of | description the sort of life led by Kit Carson and his followers. | Kentuckian and was born on Christmas Eve, 181% In his bab; | moved to the untravelled wilds of what is now Howard ¢ ‘arson was a master of wooderaft, hunting and Indian | fighting.

He quickly made himself a at last appointed official hunter for the garrison at Fort he was thirty-three that Carson chanced to meet John C.
