Ostendorf Started Out a Week Ago with 72 Cents, and Reached Brooklyn Last Night with a Cent Left. A respectably dressed man, who said he was a "Harlem Dutchman", thirty years old, applied to Policeman Schilt at the Park Row entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge last night for direction in reaching Alabama Avehue, Brooklyn, where he said his old schoolmate William Block, lives. The man gave his name as Herman Mendrick Edewart Ostendorf, and said that he was an electrician, and that he was then just completing a walk from Baltimore. He carried a grip full of electrician's tools, and stated that when he left Baltimore he had only 72 cents in his pockets, and proudly produced 1 cent which he had left. Ostendorf left Baltimore last Tuesday morning, he said, and through an interpreter he added that he had reached this country six weeks ago, arriving in Baltimore on the steamer Charlois from Rotterdam, coming as an oiler on the steamer. When asked if he was hungry and wanted some money, he politely answered "No", but, all the same, Police-man Schilt scraped up $1, which the man accepted reluctantly.
