NEW .YORK. .May 9. Thousands of p r
on dip every year In this city hose only
obituary notion Is h line In the City Record,
the Journal published by the citv dally ex
cept on lfKal holidays Sometimes this
obituary notice Is but a nair.e, sometimes
not even that.
Those whose rteiuirture from life is re
corded thus briefly arc without home or
known kindred. Whatever ri"orr'ly they
may die possessed of. even the clot lies of a
penniless suicide, passes into the hands of
the public administrator, who makes an
accurate record and report fully one? n
year to the Board of Aldermen. His re
port is published In the City Hi cord. i;nl
thus even the unidentified dead get u pub
lic notice of their passlnK.
The public administrator of New York
county, at present William 11. Hoes, is a
busy man. The law sets forth in detail
the cases in which he must act.
In general (,e .rnpeny ol nil p:'is ins
dying within the county without leaving a
will goes into his hands. I'.ut in many
cases relatives of the dead man or woman
Intervene and get appointed administrators.
If they do not the public adnilnislr.ror
takes chaiKe of the estate.
The coroners, the commissioner of chari
ties, the superintendent of 15 Ih ue U ;
pltal, the Hoard of Health and other
public bodies and officials report to the
public administrator all rasc of death
romlPR under tneir orricial tint ten. fume
cases of Intestacy develop Into Hie surr.j
Kates court and are tinned over to the
public administrator.
Hotel Keeper Must Report.
Then, ton, the law requires that rv.ry
person keeping a hotel or boarding or
lodging house shall report to tiie public
administrator the name of every pi rson
not a member of his family who shall die
In bis house within twelve hours after such
death, t'ndertakers must report sinilarly
In the cases of persons they bury having
no .next to kin known to thrm.
This provision of the law is well lived up
to. as each year hotel and boarding house
keepers and undertakers receive clrcu'ar
letters from the public administrator quot
ing the law and the penalties of lis viola
tion. So It may be said In general that
every deatli which shouhl come to the
notice of the public administrator docs
conio to bis notice.
Naturally enough, the estates which pass
through the public administrator's hand
are of small amount. Anyone who I as
much property to dispose of makes a will
or next of kin are at hand to take up the
work of administration, but once In u
while a sizable estate does pass through
the public administrator's hands, the pext
of kin In such a case being usually non
residents. The record In this county is an
entitle, of $:'0O,0i)0.
It should be borne In mind that these
estates are not unclaimed, (if unclaimed
estates something will be said later. In
thousands of cases the public administrator
acta simply as would a private adminis
trator or an executor under a will. He col
lects the moneys due, conserves the prop
erty and distributes to the next of kin according-
to law. Furthermore, lie charges
the legal commission on receiving and dis
bursing the estate.
Teraonal Itake-Off.
In some counties the public administrator
gets the commission as a personal fee. In
New York he is a salaried official and the
commission goes to the city. In Ii7 the
city earned 114,776.59 In commissions on the
administration of estates.
The public administrator first provides
a burial for the dead person In accordance
with the amount of property left. It is a
matter of discretion. Most often the burial
is In the potter's field, and the city lohes
at that.
Few large estates are unclaimed. The
proceeds of an unclaimed estate after all
the legal formalities have been observed
go Into the city treasury. The amount
turned over to the city In 1907 on account
of unclaimed estates was Ssi,3fi8.98,
With the commissions already mentioned
this made the city's receipts from this
source $;i,H5.57. The salary list of the
public administrator's office foots up only
$23,l.;r, and nluybe the rent uind running
expenses of Its small office at 119 Nassau
stiect will bring the total up to X,000. It
will be seen, therefore, that t lie city's
profit was more than $m,000 in 1907.
The chief clerk of the public administra
tor, who sees not beyond the dry parch
rrents and dull figures of his trade, will
tell you that there Is nothing of public
Interest In the procedure of the office. It
Is all a matter of routine with him; be can
not see that figures sometimes spell a
tragedy or a romance.
The public administrator's report for l'loT
has more than .0oi) names, and some of
them, with the accompanying entries, lilt! -
many a pathetic story of blasted ambi
tion and dlKappointed hopes. Most of the
names on this list are Irish. There arX
very few Jews. Men whose occupation Is
given aa artist, (flusic teacher, surgeon,
actor or some other of the higher occu
pations of fhe passed out of life here leav
ing not enough to pay tho expenses of
their burial.
There Are Nome Surprises.
In fact, those who walked a humble way
of life, such as sailor, watchman, tailor,
domestic servant, left estates of several
thousand dollars which the public adminis
trator took charge of and distributed ac
cording to law. One man who Is put down
as a speculator died in luck, fur he left
nearly $c;,(aO to. be distributed. And It is
refreshing to read that a Swedish house
keeper laid by more than SMi and an Irish
laundress more than $:',jK) and a Herman
printer more than Jt.oaC.
Of the estates which were not claimed in
117 the largest were those of Mary Mortill,
W.aM': Frederick Kcharte. ll.Xrt; Ann H.
Maher, K.8S0; Frank Ou.tdln, Michael
Brady, ll.Tf.U; Johanna Quick. J1.07O, and
Sarah Hrennan, $l,t0e. There are a few
others which exceed VM'X most of them
being estates of women. There Is some
thing particularly sad in the thought of a
woman dying away from home and kindred,
leaving the savings of a frugal life to go
lo one of the wealthiest cities of the world.
Those who die as public charges, or prac
tically without money, form by far the
longest list In the public administrator's
report. A record Is made of these estates
and the money, either cash or the proceeds
of the sale of a few effects, Is turned over
to the ilty. Formal administration is not
made; It isn't necessary.
The commissioner of public charities
turned in to the public accountant in 1907
some 363 estates, which reached the total
of r37.l. a little more than 12 each. There
are several entries of a name with 1, 2, 3
or more cents credited to the estate. fVw
of them exceed II. There are many un
knowns who died a few cents or a few
dollars o the good.

FIRST OF SUNDAY TRAINS
It Waa Hun ' on the I'.rle Hnari and
M'na Needed to Brlnu Milk
lo etv lurk.
CrOKHKN. N. Y., May 9.-The first rail
road train to run regularly on Sunday In
tills country followid the establishing of
the pioneer milk storr 1n New York City.
Thaddeus Selleck Ftaiigd that store at 1 93
Ilea do street in the spring of 1S42 for the
sale of Orange county milk, the completion
of the New York Ai F.rie railroad as far
as (ioshen having made it possible for
farmers to send their milk to New York
by train and boat.
The railroad then extended only from
Oosheti to PI rmont, on the Hudson river,
nnd its connection with New York was by
boat. There was no train or boat on Sun
day. In fact, there was only one passen
ger train each day on week days and u
freight train ran every other day.
The milk arrived at New York In good
time hiiiI always in good condition, but
Selleck's customers demanded fresh milk
on Mondoy morning as well as other days,
nnd that demand could not bo supplied
unless there was a train to bring milk to
him on Sunday. Selleck began In the
spring of IS-J3 efforts to induce, the railroad
company to put on a Sunday train for
milk, the milk traffic having become the
most Important Item of transportation on
the new line.
The railroad minagement wouldn't listen
to the proposition then, because of the
opposition u It that arose, particularly
from the ministers and their congrega
tions. The opposition was so great that
church members who were milk shippers
were threatened with dismissal from their
church communion if they should ship milk
on Sundays.
The discussion continued fiom the spring
of 1S-I3 until August of that year. The
New York consumers of Orange county
milk hud begun what would now be culled
a boycott ugain.st it becuuse they coulu not
get fresh milk On Monday morning. This
boycott became so serious that the rail
road company was losing Its most profit
able traffic.
Therefore, while not announcing It offi
cially, the company notified Its two con
ductors, Captairj Avers and Hank Stewart,
that after the first Sunday in August they
must take turns in running the train that
carried the milk every Sunday until further
notice. The railroad had then been ex
tended to Middlctown. nine miles beyond
Goshen, and the milk 8hipplr.r territory
was much enlarged.
On no railroad In the country bad any
Sunday train been regularly run up to that
time. The church people not only of Orange
county but of New York also denounced
this one as too awful to coniemplate. aid
one worthy fioshen divine declared from his
pulpit that ' the curse of (Sod would surely
fall upon all concerned In It or who patron
ised It."
It looked very much at the start as If
such prophecies were to ' be fulfilled, for
on the very first trip of that original Sun
day train the locomotive was thrown from
the track near Sloatsburg by a misplaced
plank at a highway crossing and It plunged
lr.to the pond at the side of the track, drag
ging with It tho two cars carrying the milk.
No lives were lost, but the locomotive and
the cars lay sunk In the pond twenty-four
hours before they could be removed and
the fiist Sunday shipment of milk to New
York never reached Us destination.
Hut the railroad company would not
accept the miahap as a judgment on it
for running a Sur.day train and persisted
in the Innovation. A great many Orange
county farmers who could not at first
reconcile their religious convictions with
doing business on Sunday refused to ship
their milk on this train for some time, but
as they saw a good th'r.i passing uluiig
wliiioul gelti-ig their share of It, and us
Selleck afte r u while notified these farmers
that if they c iiildn't ship milk on Sunday
they need not ship any on any other day of
the week, they compromised with their
consciences in some way and became Sun
day shippers, just like their worldly minded
neighbors.
Promptly they were cut off from com
munion with their churches, bdt- as famili
arity with the Sur.day train gradually
seemed to take In curse off opposition
to It relaxed and it at last cased t' offend
even the church element. In time all the
excoiiimunlceted farmers were taken back
into the fold.
What Mhe Was WorWIna For.
Mrs. Jenkins had missed Mrs. Brady from
her acc ustomed haunta and hearing several
startling rumor c-om ernlng her went In
search of her old friend.
"They tell me you're working 'ard right
an' day, Sarah Ann?" she queried.
"Yes," returned Mrs. Hrady. "I'm under
bond to keep the peace for pullin' the
whiskers out of that scoundrel of a bus
ban' of mine, and tiie magistrate said that
If I come afore 'lm ag in, or laid me 'and
on the old man, he'd fine me forty shll
lin's." "And so you're wnrkln' hard to keep out
of mischief?''
