with the occupancy of them. They are
sweat boxes in summer, ice boxes in
winter, suffocating boxes at all times.
Lying in one OF them with the thermometer

poor wretches must have suffered that were
imprisoned under the leaden roofs of the
Doge's palace in old Venice; and when
imprisoned in one of them while icy drafts

1t is likewise possible for the companies

But in order to accomplish this. the people

BROKE HIS WOODEN LEG.
Predica meDt of a Tramp WHO Had
Imbibed Too Much.

There was Il man in au odd prcdicament
on state street Saturday night He was
seen by a Columbus Dispatch repurter sit
had one leg off above the knee, and was
accustomed t" walk by aid Of a wooden
leg that be strapped to the stump of his
missing limb.
He was not a veteran of the war, bore no
scars OF battle, nor was there "a certain
CLEAN in his eye that told of the wild charge
in the serried ranks. He was drunkard
and bad probably lost his leg by falling off
a train when beating his way over the
country, ur been run over by beer Son.
There was nothing attractive or heroic
in his face or figure, but it was funny.
The wooden understudy of his real mem
ber was snapped off'and hung by few
straps, but was of no service. He made
frantic efforts to rise, but the broken leg
would bend under him, and as he had ro
crutch he would fail back and give up the
effort for few minutes.
A crowd collected, and, as usual with
crowds, advised him what to do. He lis
tened TO them, and, fter trying the advice
of several, none of whom volunteered to
lend any manual aid, he resigned himself
to his fate, and said in a voice chuked
with little emotion and much whisky:
''Sh'ail right. tell me houshtand; letshsheee
take leg off"
Nobody responded, and he dozed back com
fortably against the wall. Some good
Samaritan finally temporarily repaired
the wouden leg, and he moved nn in a fash
ion that spoke well for his chances for losing
the other leg in CRUISING the street.

EDUCATING THE HEATHEH
Annual Report Of the Board Of
'7.5 Foreign Missions.
Turkey, China, Japan, Sandwich
Islands, Spain aud Austria.

Boston, Nov. 21.-The American Board Of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions has
just made public its annual report This
interesting document, whence the follow
ing details are extracted, relate to the
twenty missions controlled by the board in
Africa, Turkey, India. China. japan, and
the Sandwich Islands, as well as those in
Spain and Australia.
The Zulu mission is the first one reported.
II was established sixty years ago before
the country came under British control.
The ruler then was the cruel and treacher-
GUS Digaan; the conditions. rank heatheniSnl,

elephants, and other wild animals. Now

travelling completed Bible in the language
OF the people, schools and seniinaries native
pastors and teachers, a native home mis-
sionary society and thousands of native
Christians.
Tile most important change in the Euro
pean Turkey mission is the establishing
OF a new STATEN in SaiCnioa. SaloniCa is
regarded as the most commanding center
for the Macedonian field ard has the Gd-
vantage of good railway communication
with outlying towns.
There exists among the Bulgarians a con-
literature. A large proportion OF the
readers are reached by looks alone. hence
the value of the publication department
as a factor in Bulgaria's regeneration. Tie
government las finally given permission
Tor the whole Bible To- be printed in Alban-
ian.
In India, the Maratbi mission is tie old

officials are now strong supporters OF lie
work, and Considerable Eranls-!E-aid are
made each Year by The government Tor the
support of tie mission schools.
Tai-ku is the oldest II the stations OcCu-
pied by the ShaUsi mission. The people
accessible to this station number 500, 900,
and a feeling OF confidence in the mis-
sionaries is now widely sp read. The
marked event or the year is the organization
of the first church Of Taiku.
The war with China has absorbed the
attention Of all Japan. The churches have
been reduced in their membership, while
the war prices and extra taxations have

for the support of the missions reached the
magnificent total df S666, 4S9.

woRkINGMEN DON'T WANT 1T.

For over year The Times has maintained
an unceasing attack on the bond bill schcm-
crs. 1t would seem that by this time the
position of this newspaper on that ques-
ton shonld be fairly well known, and it
would also stem that the question itself
should be clear in the public mind. Here,
however, is one who rises TO inquire:
Editor Times: Why should you object 10
bond bill which willsei money loose in the
District and furnish employment TO many
who are without 1t al the present time.
OF course, we viii have 10 pay interest on
borrowed money but three per cent is rot
an pXOrbiiant rate and the whole prupo-
sition looks very businesS-like to
JAMES L. PURVIS.
Then why Go the laboringmen object to
the proposed bill? When the project was
before the last Congress organized labor in
the District went so far as TO maintain
standing committees to prevent, if pos
sible, the success of the measure. Their
objections were: First the sacdling of
such "a large amount of interest bearing
bonds on the District; second, the improve
mcnt of private real estate at public. ex-
pcnse.
TIE original bond bill, providing $4,000
600 for the extension and improvement of
the sewerage system in accordance with
the report OF the commission appointed
by the President is undoubtedly a credit
able piece of proposed legislation as far as
1t refers TO the necessity of such a system.
But there are these, and among them many
representatives. OF organized labor, who be-
feve that the usury feature of the meas
urr could be siill further modified or, indeed,
eliminated. They do not believe that three
per cent is not an exorbitant rate and the
arguments they give are entitled to re-
spcctful consideration.
Right here, to reiterate is where The
Times voting proposition comes in. II
viii give iiese views a chance for ex-
preston, and as The Times goes into nearly
every home in the District, the result
should be approximately accurate.
Tie complexion of the District commit
tees in Congress is already under consider
alton and the time for agitation is ripe.

SLEEPING CAR CAGES.

The efforts of some railroad companies
to induce the Pullman and other sleeping
car companies to abate twenty-five per
cent of their prices makes the observation
quite proper that the public has itself to
blame for having TO pay such extortionate
charges. II there could have been any
thing like concerted movement not to
patronize these cars except upon the con-
dition that reasonable charges should pre-
vail and better accommodations pro-

Strange News From Kentucky.

The famous dead mans whirlpool
and Salt River were perfectly dry up
to the morning of the earthquake. They
are now overf1owing with cool, clear
water, which seems to bubble up from a
thousand different springs in the river
bed. The natives, with scarcely single
exception. think that all this means that

a very early date. Not one of them can be
found who will go within one hundred
yards OF the river. People from all over
the State are coming daily to witness the
strange sights.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

PURE MILK.

While the enforcement of every regula-
ton relating to the sale of milk is right
and proper, the greatest care of all should
be bestowed upon the inspection of the
dairy farms. In nnety y-nine cases out of a
hundred it is here that the danger to the
health of the consumers originates. The
placarding in lunch rooms of the names of
the places where their supply of milk is
obtained is n step in the right direction,
but a great deal more remains to be done.

ments and the thousands of private houses
where milk constitutes an important item
of the daily bill Of fare.
Several Instances have recently been

cited where a member Of the dairy farmers

farmer washed his milk cans. As a conse-
quence the disease was carried into the
