$3.50 UNEMPLOYED.
Police Censns Received by Mayor
Gilroy To-Day.
It Shows that 59,311 Persons Say
They Are in Want.
Probably Many More in the Better
Districts Need Help.

Mayor Gilroy received this afternoon
from President Seth Low. of Columbia
College, hte tabulated census of the I'M
employed taken by the police.
The returns show that IN 1851 fam
lilies visited one or more persons are out
of employment. The families consist
Of 2O6. 701 individuals. OF these 7S,023 are
reported to be usually at work, and the
actual number out of work is said to be
6 ,2sO-52,592 males n l4,GSS females
To the question II in need of assistance,
59,311 answered 'yes'' and $50 mo"
Prof. Mayo-Smith, who superintendent
the tabulation, in a letter to President
Low explains that the census is one of
the unemployed only. The police were
directed to exclude all those who had
employment, and the cases Of that sort
which got into the books were omitted
in the tabulation.
But the census is by no means q
complete count of all the unemployed in
the city Of New York. In taking the
census the police confined their labors al
most exclusively to the tenement-house
districts and the localities of the poor.
T1 They did and not more 800 into es en, GrGwna'&nS;
houses to find the poor or unemployed.
The primary idea of the census was
to enable the authorities to judge OF the
IN I TillpftS WV pow ~
their inability to secure employment, and
probably II did not occur to the police To
take into consideration that there may
bhe suffering and hunger In places where
the surroundings indicated wealth and
anuence.
Accompanying the tabulated statement
was this letter:
The Honorable Thomas r. Gilrcy. Mayor OF New
York.
Sir: I have the honor to hand you herewith
tahulsted returns NJ the census Of the unemployed

CAN'T COAST ON THIS HILL.
Bicycle Riders Have to Pedal Hard
in Order to Get Down It.

tThere is a hill in Ulster county that
bicycle riders find no difficulty in as
cending on their wheels, but which
their machines WON'T descend by their
own gravity" said New York wheel
man. .'This mysterious hill is the last
one of the numerous hills on the route
between Lake Mohonk and the Hud-
son River. Ordinarily, when a wheel
man on tour comes to descending
grade in the road he is travelling, he is
pleased and just lies back and conserves
his energy, while the slick-running
wheels and the grade doall the rest I'M
til he gets to the bottom. But he can't
do this on that queer Ulster county
hill. A bicycle won't run down that
hill unless the rider pedals it, just the
same as if he were on level ground or
going up hill.
The moment he takes his feet off the
pedals to let the machine toboggan
down by force of gravity, it slows up
and begins to wobble, and if its rider
doesn't brace up and take it in hand
and foot again, it will topple over and
tumble him in the ditch. He has to
work the wheel for all he is worth to
get 1t down the hill. On the contrary
the wheel will mount the hill with less
effort on the part of the wheelman to
propel it than it requires ordinarily to
move it along on the level. The mys-
FERROUS quality of this Ulster county
hill was discovered by E. p. Howarth
of Poughkeepsie, but it has demon
strated itself to scores of wheelmen
since then. Whether or not there is
anything in the theory that is advanced
to explain this strange perversity |
don't know. That theory is that there
must be big mass of magnetic ore I'M
der the surface near the top of the hill,
which influences the action of the bicy
cles. However that may be, the fact
exists that here is a hill that bicycle
won't run down of its own gravity,
and which the wheelman can mount
as easily, if not more easily, than he
can ride the level road

Sympathetic Strikes.

All railroad and telegraph corpora

lt Is the sympathetic strike that does
the mischief on great scale-the strike
mat VIII throw the railway traffic or
the telegraph system of the continent
INTO chaos, and infiict incalculable loss
ana suffering upon millions of people,
on the ground that some railroad uses
cars from some car-shop, or rails from
some folllng-mill, or that the telegraph
companies use wires from some wire
factory, the operatives of which have
some quarrel with their employers, or
on grounds even still more remote. The
sympathetic strike of this kind is dam
ger TO Which society cannot afford to be
exposed, and the transportation and
Telegraph companies owe to the people
adequate protection against this dam
ger, as far as they are able to give it. 1t
Is therefore their duty infiexibly to re-

on that danger.
Let it not be said that this would be
a denial of the right of laboring-men to
organize for their own benefit. There
are labor organizations, especially
among railroad employees, which every
pody recognizes not only as legitimate,
put as extremely useful to their own
interests as well as to their employers
and to the public at large. Such are
the brotherhood of locomotive engi-
neers, the brotherhood of train-men,
and others. They keep their contracts,
and are careful to be reasonable in their
demands. When they have a grew
ance they are always listened to with
the utmost respect, and they do not
lind it necessary to resort to strikes in
order to get justice.

A sTINGLEss BREED OF BEES.
Naturalist Griswold Tells How His
Uncle Started the Breed.

"There is breed of honey bees over
in the town of Wayne that have no
singers" said Naturalist Packy Girls
void of the Fairchild House circle.
''They are very handy to have, because
a child can run whole yard full of
such hives of bees. 1t is interesting to
me, at least, the way that breed oflbees
originated. 1t shows how readily
nature will adapt herself to the fitness
Of things, and also is a perpetual mon
ument to the wonderful skill of an
uncle of mine as rifle shot. My uncle
was great bee hunter, and one daY he
Wayne, looking things over, when he
ran onto a bee tree. He thought he
would tap the tree TO find out how high
up in it the bees had stored their honey.
He sent rifle ball into the side of the
tree, way up toward the top. As soon
as he fired he saw that he had made a
mistake, for he had tapped the honey
hollow right at the lower edge, and the
honey came squirting out iii regular
stream. He was Il good ways from
home, and he knew that before he could
get there and back again with pals and
tuiilSG tItC lIOSb vi tuS NOu1o
have run out of the tree aud been lost.
Something had to be done to save that
honey, for it was worth shilling a
pound. But my uncle Wasn't a man to
let anything get the best of him, and
he whitfield out pine plug, Loaded it
into his rifle, fired it into the bullet hole
he had shot in the tree, and plugged
the hole up as tight as If there had
never been one there. That saved the
honey.
"But, although my uncle was bee
hunter, he was mortal shy of bees, for
they would sting him on sight, and
every sting swelled up ON him as big as
a rutabaga. So h thought he might
as well make things sale, and pleasant
right there and then. He didn't want
t, Kill the bees, for he was u kind and
tender-hear,ed man, SO he stood still in
his tracks, and, as the bees came buzz
ing out of the ,ree, he shot their stiug-
ers off, one by one, and BY and by had
'en al liked, 50 that he could gather
the honey and ask n odds Of 'sm. Mt
