ENGLAND'S PAUPERS.
Misery and Went Revealed BY
Government Statistics.
Great Anxiety Occaaioned in London by
b Great Increase and Continued
Growth Of Pauper:sm-A Ter
rible Showing.

The remarkable fact that through
out the whole of England and Wales
there were at the end of last year
twenty-four paupers existing on gov
eminent charity in every thousand Of
mass of statistics on pauperism re-
Gently issued by the poor relief depart
ment of the British government. The
exact percentage was 24.5 paupers per
1000 of population. There was great
increase Of pauperism during the year,
many thousands of people, owing to
the general business depression, being
driven to ask for relief for the FIRST
time in their lives, and the officially
recorded proportion Of pauperism
reached the highest point in many
years. The proportion was smallest in
1891, when it vas 1872 to the 1000 popu-
lation. This is a remarkable fact in
itself, as indicating the normal amount
of extreme pauperism in England, for
the record is only of paupers applying
for government relief.
1t is a curious fact, says the New
York Sun, that the proportion Of
paupers to population is smaller in
London than throughout the rest Of
England and Wales. But there has
been a great increase and continued
growth of pauperism in the metropolis
in recent years which is causing a
great deal of anxiety. In the second
week of last December there were 106,-
376 paupers in London, which was
equivalent to 24.3 per 1000 of the whole
population. This was S.926 more pau
pers than were receiving relief in the
city in the corresponding week of the
previous year, and a greater number
than in any year since 1872.
The proportion of pauperism in Lon.
don was the highest in the years 1867
and 1869, when it reached AIS and 49,
respectively to the 1000 of population,
But these were years of exceptions,
depression, and the. astounding figures
have never been reached in any othe,
year since the Inauguration of the
present system of statistics. The low
est point vas reached in 1891, when the
proportion of paupers was 1924 per LOO
of population. Since that year there
has been a steady growth of pauper
ism in the metropolis, and at such {
rate and with such coincident circum
stances as to be the aus of much
anxiety to the authorities and a mat
ter Of great public concern.

Setting q Good Example.

Emperor William of Germany, it
seems, will not visit the theatcr on
Sunday. While on his recent trip to
Italy the managers of the Theatre
Fenice, in Venice, gave a special enter
tainment in his honor on a Sunday, but
the audience waited in vain for King
Humbert and the emperor. It was
learned later that he had called in
stead on Countess Annina Morsini, and
told her, according to Italian papers,
that he had not attended a theatrical
performance on Sunday since he had
end the throne.

A Bamboo Bicycle.
From Invention, London:

One OF the chief attractions Of
the Stanley show, hold at the Ag-
ricultural hall last week, was a
bamboo cycle. No other material
but steel has been used for a SINH
lar purpose up till now, the cycles
constructed of bamboo cane being
fitted with aluminium Joints,
frames, front forks handle bars
and seat pillars; whilst in some of
the machines on view the cranks
are all made of the bamboo
tubes instead Of steel, and In the
latest machine even the metal rim
is replaced by one OF ash. In the
matter OF price the machine does
not vary much from Others con-
structed Of steel, but as far as
weight is concerned the difference
is very considerable. The ma
chimes can, we believe be turned
out to weigh not more than 22d
pounds, and are strong enough for
a l6-stone man.

SEWER CONTRACT
AWARDED TO A DENVER CON.
TRACTOR.
His Bid Was Third on the List and
Was Considered the Best.
Work Soon to Begin.

Yesterdays special meeting OF
the City Council on the awarding
OF the sewer construction did not
end until 4:30 O'clock, and was a
lively session throughout. After
an exhaustive examination OF the
lowest bidders, a resol ution was
passed appropriating the money for
the sewer construction and then a
recommendation from the mayor,
proposing to let the mayor and a
committee Of citizens award the
contract was voted down.
A resolution to bind the contrac-
tor selected to pay his laborers not
less than 1925 a day for nine hours
work, was voted down, as in the
opinion OF the city attorney it
would be in conflict with the con-
tract. Then the vote on awarding
the contract came up and resulted
as follows:
Stratiord & Hawkes., OF Brooklyn,
n. Y, received one favorable vote
Rejected.
Geo. Baer, OF Kansas City, Mo-,
four favorable votes.
j. r. Hindry, OF Denver, Col, re-
ceived seven favorable votes, and
his bid was declared accepted. The
amount OF his bid for the total
work was 1884, 200.4j.
All other bids were rejected and
the council adjourned.
1t is understood Mr.. Hlndry will
begin work in ten days or less time

Hauling a Livs Whale Ashore.

From the Hartford Times.
That sperm whale, captured at
Stonington, proves to be the hero
of a grotesquely funny story, if a
New London dispatch can be be-
lieved. It Is declared to be sperm
whale, 40 to so feet long, that can
spout fountains Of water. The men
who discovered him succeeded-ac-
cording to the story-in slipping a
cable moose around the mon-
ster's tail, and by means OF
three cables tied together, making
a line 1880 feet actually got him
into shoal water at the shore, by
means Of the hauling power Of a
yoke of oxen. Undoubtedly he is
the first whale ever hauled ashore
by OK power-and he came tail
first. He is now on exhibition. 1t
may be well for Stonington to keep
a yoke OF oxen handy, with long
cable, for drawing in whales.

The Wheat Industry,

From the American Miller.
The milling industry Is the larg-
est in the United States in point OF
capital and help employed. Our
mills have ample capacity to con-
vert into flour every bushel of
wheat grown in this country, and
like the railroads and farming in
terests, the milling industry is
spread over the entire country, be-
ing confined to no particular sec
ton. In 1885 flour represented 81
per cent. of the wheat ,Xports from
the United States. That per cent.
has steadily declined until flour
represents now about 80 per cent
OF the wheat eXports-a de-
cline OF 81 per cent in the face
OF constantly increasing ca
pacity to manufacture flour in this
country. In 1892 the wheat eX-
ports amounted to 22j,66J,S l2
bushels, OF which l57 ,2S0,35l bush
pIa went as raw material, and 6S,-
1854 bust Q s as the manufacture
ed product. In 1893 the exports
amounted to I9l, 9l2,634 bushels, Of
which 1l7,l2l,lO9 bushels was in
the shape Of raw material Were
it possible to export this as flour,
the saving to our country would be
from $S,OOO,O0O to $l0,O0O,00O, the
cost OF manufacture. Or this
amount the greater part would be
paid out in labor.

An Ancient Tow.

The jumping jack is by no means
an invention Of today, for the early
Egyptian children had it among
their playthings. In the Leyden
Museum there is a capital little

There is a sloping block before
him. You pull the string, and the
figure moves, the hands keeping
on the slope of the block.

1t will be remembered that a
few weeks ago an item was printed
about a number OF frogs which
Jack Morgan, Of East Atchison,
was training to take with a circus
next season. Tho training went
along all right until a few weeks
ago, when suddenly the frogs went
to sleep, and could not be awak-
ened. The frogs are still asleep,
and will probably not awaken un-
til spring. The only frog which
has stirred since the sleep began
was Ike, and he did very wonder
full thing yesterday. Ike got up in
his sleep and did all the tricks
which Morgan had taught him,
with his eyes closed. He then re-
turned to the place where he had
been sleeping. Ike was evidently
dreaming OF fame and glory in the
side show next summer.

Gov. CLEAvEs, of Maine. is said to
be planning to step into Mr.. Reeds
congressional shoes. Several other
ambitious republicans, including
Clarence Hale, q successful Portland
lawyer. and brother Of Senator Hale.
are said to be not averse to doing
the same thing. But the plans or
hopes of all of the alleged aspirants
hinge upon the fate of Mr.. Reed as
candidate for presidential nomina-
ton. 1t is passing strange that
these astute fellows, who run" re-
publican politics in Maine, do not
realize that there is no more chance
for Maine man to become president
OF the United States than there is for
one who lives in Alaska. Blaine Sc
cured a nomination sitter fighting
for one for IL years and making an
earnest contest in three successive
national conventions, but there are
no more Blaines in Maine. Reed is
but burlesque on Blaine, or any
other man of brains.
