An Uncomfortable Man

On a narrow platform, close to the glaes roof of Hammerstein's Olympia roof garden, may nightly be seen, saya the New York Herald,one of the most uncomfortable men in New York. He is the man vho operates the calcium lighte vshich play upon the stage. He has barely room to stand up, so he kneels most of the time and stares at the stege before him. Below are persons trying to look so cool and comfortable that the sight of them must be a perpetual aggravatioTi. They sit and láug-h and talk, and take no noticè of the uncomfortable fellow perched high alof t and yet in f uil view. Be is there for four hours every night. He shifts about and occasionally stands up in his endeavor to get the kinks out of his legs. He sits, kneels and sometimes leans back against the big iron p-irder behind him. He sees the show over and over again. He listens to the endless splash of the water on the crystal roof and sees the same little comedies nightly enacted around the round tables beneath. Sometimes a sign of human interest Is shown in a bending forward as some woman with a more towering hat than usual, or a boy with a more resplendent hat band than common parades through the garden.
