"A MISER WORTH’ $50,000.” The Brooklyn Police Take Steps to Have Bertha May Cared For. A policeman on duty in Lafayette avenue, near Franklin avenue, in Brook] early-on--Friday -morning -met an ol woman apparently in pitiable destitution. Her feet were: bare, she had no with a coarse piece of rope. She was trembling with cold, was emaciated and was altogether the most deplorable looking human object the policeman had ever encountered. He was about to take her to the police station to giveher shelter when she told him that-she was looking for a Mrs, Townsend, who lived in the neighborhood, The policeman found Mrs, Townsend, and the latter said she would take care of the woman, with whom she was well acquainted. It turned out that the woman was the ‘owner Of a fine four story brick house at 834 Bedford avenue, had s bank account ‘of $15,000 and possessed other property. and that herentire wealth was estimated at between $50,000 and $60,000. Her mame is Bertha May, and she has long ‘been the solitary occupant of the big Bedford avenue house. Not even a dog, ‘cat or bird has shared her seclusion. She is 74 years old and has been a widow for nearly 80 years. Her husband, Edward May, had a wig store in this city ‘when she married him, and she has carefully watched over the fortune he left ther. Mr. SEAS escorted the aged re‘«cluse to her home yesterday morning ‘and then went around to the Clermont Avenue police station and called the attention of Captain Hardy to the wretchwity of providing for her. Captain Hardy sent Detective Sergeant Fitzpatrick to ‘the house to make an investigation. Fitzpatrick secured an entrance by representing himself as a building inspector ‘and made a tour of the premises, He repe to Captain Hardy that from celar to roof the house was in an intoler. -ably filthy eondition, and that there were several years’ accumulation of dust. on So miserly is the old woman that she ‘will not even buy the food she needs and . . would starve to death did not a benevolent family in the neighborhood supply her daily with bread and coffee.—New York Sun. Don't Judge by Appearances. ., Aone legged street beggar who, rain orshine, sits every day with outstretched hand on the steps of. a warehouse in a down town cross street is quite a philosas his experience gi little can be or women by their appearance. Sometimes, he says, he will see a man approaching who seems to be the personification of charity: allied with opulence. The beggar stre,chés forth his hand with confidenes, but withdraws it with disap‘pointment. Then there hurries by a Mephistophelian looking creature, seedy perhaps, with a cynical smile on his face, ‘who drops a quarter into the beseeching ‘palm. Among women, the beggar capes the best. dressed are seldom the ‘charitable. There are tare eg to rie that a street beggar can ‘‘size-up’’ a pedestrian by his appearance is erroneous. —New Yerk World. ‘ Falling Eyes. “T think the eye power of the present generation of civilized men must have deteriorated a good deal,’’ said_ an oculist to me the other day. ‘‘I am called . ' upon to examine so many young persons . nowadays whose eyes show no symptoms of disease or strabismus, but are simply unable to do the ordinary amount of work required of schoolboys, schoolgirls, college students or moderate read‘ers without showing symptoms of overwork * ‘This weakness seems to be bustin: tional, and glasses are required which lessen the muscular strain on the eyes -only.
