Ninety four People to tho Acre Crowded
on Little Manhattan I,iant.
York Is the most crowded city
in the union. She has fifty-nine peo-
pie for every acre of her area, and,
taking only the built-up part into
consideration, the average per acre
the actual distribution of the people
is increased to ninetyfour PER
acre. In vivid contrast to this is the
amount of elbow room enjoyed by
the citizens of San Diego, Cal, where
according to tho Pittsburg Dispatch.
there is less than third OF an indiv-
idual-.31 to the acre. and nearer
home is Auburn, Me. with only "a
of an inhab.tant to each acre actual
ly built over. The density Of the
population in New York city can be
even more vividly imagined when it
is taken into account that Manhattan
island forms hardly more than half
the total city area-only tifty-one
per cent-and that ninety-five per
cent of the population lives on
Manhattan. Four OF the downtown
wards, covering total area of only
little over one square mile, have
an aggregate population bigger than
that OF Cleveland, Buffalo, New
Orleans, Pittsburg, Washington or
Milwaukee. A review OF the data
Obtained from all cities show that
tho average percentage OF open
space to total city area is only
twelve. The percentage is greater
in the South Atlantic group OF states
and least in tho North Atlantic
group, This is due to the fact that
in the majority of New England
cities the present limit, are the same
as the old town boundaries. and
municipal improvements are confined
to the wards where the most people
live The area occupied by some OF
the American cities greatly exceeds
that taken up by the principal cities
of the old world. Both Chicago and
Philadelphia, measured by square
miles. are bigger than London. Each
OF eleven American cities spreads
over more territory than does Paris.
Berlin is exceeded in area by seven
teen cities of this country.

The Bolsterous Atlantic

Is terror to timid voyagers, scarcely
less on account of the perils of the
deep than the almost certainty of sea
sickness. The best curative of NAL dc
mer is Hostctter's Stomach Bitters,
which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. 10 all trav-
elers and tourists, whether by sea or
land, 1t presents happy medium be-
tween the nauseous or Intellectual re-
sources OF the medicine chest, and the
problematical benefit derivablc from
an unmedicated alcoholic stimulant,
no matter how pure. The jarring Of
a railroad car often produces stomach
disorders akin to that caused by the
rolling Of a ship. For this the Bitters
Is a prompt and certain remedy. The
use Of brackish water, particularly
on long voyages in the tropics, inevi-
tably breeds disorders of the stomach
and bowels. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters mixed with impure water lul-
lifes Its impurities. Similarly II coun-
teracts malarial and other prejudicial
influences of climate or atmosphere,
as well as the effects of exposure and
fatigue. Use it for kidney complaints
rheumatism and debility.

Fifth Sunday Meeting.

The pastors Of the several Baptist
churches Of Bowie and Miller coun-

morning, the goth inst, to hold their
regular Fifth Sunday meeting The
meeting was called to order by Rev.
w. A. Forbes at the First Baptist
church at 10 O'Clock a. m, and was
continued morning and evening until
the closing meeting on Sunday night.
The program for discussion at the
several meetings embraced wide
range of important subjects, bearing
upon and relating to church work
generally. The discussion upon sew
eral of the weightier subjects was
both able and earnest, displaying, up
on the part of The ministers present, a
deep sense Of the Importance Of the
work in hand, as well as thorough
appreciation of its influence and bear
ing upon their future efforts in local
evangelism. We regret that lack Of

Residence DESTROYED.

A few moments before 2 o'clock
this morning the fire alarm sounded,
bringing out the city's fire depart
ment, and, despite the unreasonable
hour attracted large crowd to the
scene Of the fire, which upon investi-
CATION proved to be the residence Of
City Attorney Horace Vaughan. The
flames spread rapidly, requiring only
brief time in which to destroy both
the building and its contents. AT the
time of the fire Mr. Vaughan was the
only occupant of the building, his
wife and children being absent on a
visit TO relatives in Cass county, Tex.
Mr.. Vaughan was not awakened by
the fire until the whole house was in
flames and experienced great difficult
ty in making his escape from the
burning building. Indeed, SO rapid
had been the spread of the flames that
upon opening his bed room door Mr..
Vaughan was forced to seek egress
through window opposite, even then
only being permitted to effect his es-
cape with his face badly blistered
from the intense heat of the flames
which surrounded him. The origin
Of the fire is wholly unknown. Mr..
Vaughan says that to his knowledge
there was neither lights nor fire in the
house at that hour, which would lead
to the theory Of incendiarism. Mr..
Vaughan has the sincere sympathy Of
our people in his loss, which was only
partially covered by an insurance of
$500. The building was, we under
stand, covered by moderate insurance
and belonged to gentleman in Pres

PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.

The difficulty which occurred be-
tween Messrs. Jesse Coe and Henry
Shefllin, both well known citizens, in
Cassidy's saloon, on Saturday evening,
caused much excitement for the time
between the friends of the principals.
The facts, as stated, are, that while in
toxicated, Mr.. Shefflin applied an
opprobious epithet to Mr.. Coe, at the
same time stepping back, as though to
prepare for conflict where
upon Mr. Coe drew his pis-
tol and fired point blank at
his adversary, only missing his aim
through the Intervention of City
Marshal Crenshaw, who, anticipating
possible trouble, had drawn near and
caught Mr. Goes arm in the act of fir
ing. The encounter between these
men, who are both recognized as
possessing ample nerve, is regretted
by all. We have every reaeon to be-
lieve, however, that the matter viii
not be revived as 1t appears to have
been the result of passion brought on
by Mr.. Shefllin while under the in6u-
ence Of liquor. Such encounters are
always to be deplored and from every
point Of view are unfortunate.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
