OUT OF JAIL.
Graham and Burns Welcomed On
Their Release From Prison,

rCOpyrfght 1883 by James Gordon Bennett
LONDON, Feb. 1S-[ New York Herald Gable
Special to the Bee The Garmo prison
hour. Fame seldom stands sentinel at the
threshold of Jail but for Irish martyrs and
for apostles of free speech fame has lately
become guardian. This morning, exactly
at almanac sunrise, invisible, however, in
London, Cunningham Graham, member of
parliament for northwest Lanark, and John
Burns, the socialist, were released from PEN
tonville prison, having completed six weeks
Imprisonment for taking part in an unlaw-
full assemblage at Trafalgar square A
crowd OF men and women took
up position fronting the great gate. Their
scarlet banner bore, "Work for all, overwork
for none We ask no boon; our rights we
claim" Opposite were posted an inspector,
sergeant and several constables in uniform
or IN plain clothes. The morning was cold
and dark. A baker in the neighborhood to
show his sympathy, had an early baking Of
sweet brown loaves, which he gave away in
an inspector walked down the long slope
accompanied by gentleman, who had raised
his hat, when cheer was raised, followed
by hearty handshaking all round. Mr..
Graham looked much improved. The look of
restless anxiety which he wore at court has
gone. After the greeting came
curious little manifestations of re-
gard. Two different men offered
him small meat pies, which he accepted, he
said, gladly, as he was very hungry. A few
escorted him to Evans coffee shop, in Gale
DOMAIN road, where the party were seated in
the curious, old fashioned pews Of the estab-
lishment. The place was rapidly filled by
sympathizers amongst workingmen, who
crowded the public rooms and pelted him
from all sides with questions and congratula-
tions, and giving the news OF the recent
debates and the result of the elections. A
dozen asked, "What will you take, sir." and
Graham, with his mouth full of the first meat
pie, answered, Coffee, with bread and but
ter" Several women took the matter in
hand and ordered eggs and bacon, upon
which he made an immediate onslaught
Questions poured in without intermission.
In reply Mr. Graham said:
Ihave nothing to complain Of in my treat
tnent. We were second-class misdemeant'

pound Of oakum to pick every day. I got NJ
letters and saw no friends except my solicitor

bread and skilly only had plank bed on

The First Svmptcns

OF all Lung diseases are much the same !:
feverishness, loss Of appetite, sore
throat, pains in the chest and back,
headache, etc. In few days you may
be well, or, on the other hand, you may
be down with Pneumonia or galloping
Consumption" Run no risks, but begin
Immediately to take Ayers Cherry
Pectoral.
Several years ago, James Orchard, Of
Darien, Conn.,, was severely ill. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
J. s. Bradley, Maiden, Mass, writes
Three winters ago I took severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. was so weak that
could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed necessarily. I consulted
several doctors, but they were power
less, and all agreed that was in Con-
sumption. At last, friend brought me
q bottle of Ayers Cherry PectOral
From the first dose, I found relief
Two bottle cured me, and my health
has since been perfect"

Parisian Statistics.

The first census even taken at Paris
was in 1898, when there were %, 900 in:
habitants, and it was more than 4oC
wears later before the number exceeded
S5O, 900, in 1901 the population was
SIT, 75e, and the entire department OF
the Sc: ne contained but 63l,5s5 souls.
Since then the number has increased, in
the city, to 2, $50, 900, and in the depart
ment to about 3, 900, 900. Certain quar-.
ters, those in the center Of the city, can
be considered as having reached their
maximum, and as a matter of fact the
last census, taken in 1886, shows
slight falling off in them as compared
with the census of 1891. But in all
other portions of the city and in the sub
urbs the increase is apparent But the
number of French born persons has not
increased, however, and in 1881 they
were a,O51, ,02H, while five years later
they numbered but 2,057, S99, 80 that
the whole increase, 1SO, 253 in 1885,
comes from the foreign element. No con-
tinental city contains so many foreign,
ers as Paris, and nowhere outside OF
America is there such rap d increase
in that class of the communlty.-Ptrag'
