Observers Of the changes that are con-
stautIv taking place in New York say
chat tFe system OF fat houses is cheaper
inc the cost Of living in that city, and
that the manner of living is becoming
very different from what it was fe"
years ago. In the neighborhOOd OF Gen.
trail Park a great number OF immense
fats have been constructed, and tue huln-
Der is being constantly increased. REQ
pIe who have been accustomed TO live IN
boarding houses now find that they can
afford to keep house in a fat. When
the fat system first began to be popular
it was rather expensive TO live in fat
because Of the enormous rents. as new
flats were erected, however, and the sup
nlv Of fiat apartments became fully up to
the demand, the owners OF these great es-
adjustments were compelled 70 lower
their prices in order to secure tenants.
At one time fats paid an enormous IN
terest on the money invested in them, but
now they do not pay so handsomely.
There Is great competition going on be-
tween keepers Of boarding houses and fat
owners.
that they were losing their customers
they dropped their rates to keep them, and
the hat owners met this cut in rates, as 1t
were. in order TO secure tenants. The II
VARY goes on. and in time the chances
are that a man who has a family, and
who Is not a millionaire viii be able 10
live respectfully and comfortably IN New
| York. Another thing in connection with
| these fats is worthy Of notice. 1t Is that
they have caused a depreciation in the
| value OF New York real estate. Many Of
/ these fats occupy very small
| ground space, but they afford an immense
! amount Of floor room. Some Of them are
/ twelve stories high and. therefore, afford
| as much room as a half dozen ordinary
/ houses. When one house takes the place
| Of six il can be seen readily why there
should be a falling OF in the demand for
/ building lots. A writer in the Cripple,
| speaking Of the changes in the habits Of
the people. brought about By the intro
/ duction Of flats. SAYS: IN conjunction
| with the fat has come in a habit Of eating
| in a restaurant or il another part OF the
| same huge building. and thus the privacy
| OF the domestic household is sacrihed,
/ though the New Workers are get
/ ting to be 50 Partisan II their
tastes that many Ike this public
sort OF existence. Then. too, companies
have sprung up 70 feed the people in these
| fats in their own rooms with breakfasts,
| lunches and dinners already prepared,
| and sent from the central cookery around
TO the different patrons houses in wagons
/ specially built for the purpose with
refrigerators and boilers and gas stoves,
50 that dinner, for instance, may Be sent
mile or two in a wagon, and still served
up smoking hot, with the bottle Of wine
lust of the ice. Thus the apartment
house brings with it new habits and Gus
toms, and the character OF our city popu-
lation will no doubt in time be changed
somewhat thereby"
The New York CT to-day is very differ

The Liverpool Courier says: The par
eel post introduced by the present govern
ment has proved such failure that in
nearly all the towns around Liverpool the
cOmmodious conyeyances which were
constructed by private enterprise for the
purpose Of distributing the parcels have
been discarded IN order to reduce expen-
ditures: and the work is relegated TO the
messengers, many Of whom, owing to
their inability to carry pOnderOus bum
dies when delivering their letters, have to
return 10 the central offices after walking
several miles and recOmmence their jour-
ney in order to deliver the parcels. The
carriers receive nothing for this extra la
Dor, neither is there any prospect Of their
doing so. They dare not grumble, for if
they did they would be told that there are
plenty Of others ready TO I'LL their places"
This is not very encouraging to those who
are so anxious to establish a special par
eel post in this country.

The Prohibitionists and Independ-


1t is evident that the politicians were
mistaken relative to the Prohibition sen
timent AID the strength Of the Independ-
ent Republican element in New York.
The ProhibitiCnists talked about 5O,V0o
votes in that state, and that number was
generally accorded 70 them. The hide
pendent Republicans said that the5 had
5000 names OF Republicans enrolled who
would cast their votes against Blaine. 1t
is possible that the Prohibition candidate
will get 5000, but no one will ever be
able 10 tell how many votes the Indepen-
dent Republicans cast. II is certain that
they did not cast anything like 10000. II
is more than probable that the greater
part 81 the Democratic gains outside
Of New York city and Brooklyn were the
result Of desertions Of Republicans from
their party TO the PrOhibitionists. The
independent Republicans may have cast
{ good many votes in New York city aad
Brooklyn. but If they did very many De-
m0crats must have abstained from voting
OF have voted with the Republicans. Even
Buffers vote was far below what the
Republicans estimated il at. Outside Of
New York and Massachusetts. the Prohi-
ton. independent Republican and Butler
movements do not appear TO have been
very noticeable.

It's noticeable that il connection with
Tuesdays election there was very little
excitement anywhere, and that the dis
tur5ances were hardly worth noticing. In
New York il Is said me streets wore a
sort Of sunday appearance. In Cincin-
natl and one or two other places there
was a little trouble, but It passed
or very quickly. The universal quiet that
prevailed was remarkable in view OF the
fact that the election closed the most
memorable campaign in the history Of the
country. The two great parties were pref
II evenly divided. and for weeks cam
paign organs and orators had INDUCED in
the bitterest personalities. At least
ten millions OF votes were cast,
and the will Of 100000 Of people was
expressed without seriously Interrupting
the ordinary aGairs Of every day life IN
any locality. The peopls in the doubtful

the twenty-four hours. The Great East
ern has seven masts and i've smoke
stacks, so that she is not likely to be mis-
taken ct sea for any other vessel. As a
passenger ship she was failure, mainly
owing to her being too deep for most OF

cessfully used for laying cables, but even
in this had to give way to the specially
