GREAT DISTRESS IN BOSTON.

Fifty Thousand Men are out of Work
 and Have Paid Out Their Last Cent
 No Work for Them in SIght-Ap-
 peais to Landlords.
 BOSTON, Dec. 13.-Au "appeal to land lords," headed "No Work. No Rsnt," was issued 10 day in circular form by the Asso- citation for the Municipal Employment of the Unemployed. This association is made up from representatives of different labor unions and unskilled workmen out of em- ployment.
 The circular gays that the number of persons out of work to day In Boston is probably fifty thousand. Dependent upon them for bread and a home are at least fifty thousand more. Many of them have been already long without work. Some are owing for back rent; others have paid the last cent they will be able to command for rent during the winter months.
 No work for them Is in sight, and the most pressing efforts of all organized Ia bor in Boston have failed as yet to awaken the city to its duty to supply work. The landlords are therefore asked to require no rent of the unemployed from this time on until they obtain employment.

DIED ON HIS POST.
Policeman John G. Groxan Found
Dead in a Harlem street. =.

Patrolman John G. Grogan, Of the East
one Hundred and Twenty-sixth street
station, was found dead on his beat In
front of 20 West one Hundred and Thtr-
ty-third street at $50 o'clock this morn
ing.
Grogan went on duty at O'Clock this
morning, and was apparently in the best
Of health and spirits. He left the sta
tion-house joking with some of his COM
rades and did not complain of feeling I'll.
Nothing was heard of him until $50
when a man who was passing through
one Hundred and Thirtythird street
saw him lying on the sidewalk. 1t was
at first thought that he was asleep, but
investigation showed that he had been
dead for some time
Grogan had been subject to hemor-
rhages OF the lungs for some years, and
it is thought he died from this cause.
He was appointed to the force Oct. o.
1886. and had an exceptionally clean rec
ord. He was a widower and lived at 237
West one Hundred and Twenty-sixth
street with his siXteen-year-old son.
The body was removed to the station
house and the Coroner notified.

LIONS ARE ONLY BIC CATS.

Are Cruel.
Owe Their Reputation Moro to Looks

If we quit heraldry for fact, and go by
the testimony Of travellers and hunters,
1t is very doubtful whether the lion de-
serves his magnificent reputation. 1t Is
his appearance. says the London Tele-
graph, no doubt. which has gained for
him the appellatlon of liking of beasts"
with all the regal honor pertaining to 1t.
Certainly, he looks every inch a king"
Nothing can be finer. The fancy itself
could conceive nothing more fittingly
representative OF majesty than the full
grown male lion, gazing with great yell
low eyes, which seem to know no fear,
and the ample honors OF his shaggy
name wrapped round his massive front

He looks like the embodiment by ma
ture Of loneliness and magnanimity, and
he has been adopted as such in ali liter
ature and poetry from Homer and Aes-
chylus down to the lion comiaue' Of
our music halls. Yet he is only a cat-a
great cat--after all. and those who know
him In his native wllds give very DIFF
ular conceptions.
w? do not wish to calumniate a crea-
ture so intimately connected with Brit

behavior. for nobody can deny that the

Is that he has learned the craft of silence
