A Western View Of New York City.

New York Is city without homes.
Among old residents and new, native and
foreign, among the poor, the well to do
and the rich the question Is almost uni
versal, Where do you live nowf" How
many in the whole great city have lived
10 years In one house' How many have
lived five years where they live now5 New
Workers are as nomadic as the Bedouins,
but the Bedouins have much freer range,
and this Is an advantage. To he confined
to one little island and yet to have no
home is to acquire the vices and to suffer
the limitations both Of the tramp and the
serf. There may be disadvantages about
neighbors and friends, but after all 1t Ii
civillzing 10 have them. New Workers
have no neighbors and few real friends.
The housing Of New York is not good.
The people are packed away like sardines
in box or dishes In "a cupboard. Some
cupboards have four and some 16 shelves.
Only very few families enjoy an entire
cupboard TO themselves The people suffer
from too great proximity. They are often
and perhaps commonly-too close fol
moral or physical decency. Light is rare
and precious commodity. Sewer gas first
hand Is not good to breathe, but breathed
several times In succession by different per
sons 1t becomes noxious.-J. w. Gleed In

An aged Maori chief at a recent reli-
gtous meeting at Woodhill, New Zealand,
spoke thus through an interpreter: II
wish TO say few words to the children of
the white man concerning our respective
destiny. Many years have passed since
these hills and valleys echoed the war
song Of the Maori warrior. The white man
can smile on his children and picture for
them bright and happy future. Not SO
with the Maori. He must look forward to
the dark abyss Of oblivion. Do not think,
o white man, that ! envy you. No, for
II 1t Is the wish Of God that the Maori
should go down before the white man, his
will be done"

There had been rivalry and enmity
for fix long weeks between the summer
girl with the seven oxidized silver
bracelets ON her left arm and the sum
mer girl whose small feet had elected
80 much attention and admiration. Ey-
erybOdy gaid that the girl with the
small feet had made two conquests to
one, aud some Of 'em felt sorry for the
girl with tho seven bracelets, but the
latter wasn't saying a word. She knew
that her time would come sooner or
Later, aud she tangled her bracelets,
stuck up her nose and waited. One day
the summer girl with the small feet left
her pocket diary on chair ON the ye.
randa a. she ran up stairs. The summer
girl with the bracelets crossed over and
picked it up and scanned its contents.
They covered a period Of 40 days, and
under 10 different dates were the words

The summer girl with the bracelets
chuckled AZ she pocketed the diary and
drew out and placed her own In tn,

close OF the Defense in the Case Of TheO-
dOre Durrant.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3O.-The close of
the arguments for the defense in the trial
Of Theodore Durrant was marked by the
greatest crowd that ever fought for ad-
mission to murder trial in this city.
Judge, jurors, court, officers and attorneys
struggled for nearly an hour in a surging
throng of men and women who crowded
through the corridors leading to the court
room. The sheriff and his deputies were
not able to control the mob, and rcquisi-
tion was made on the chief Of police for a
squad Of twenty men.
Dickinson for the defense closed his
speech at noon, and when Attorney Du-
prey appeared at the afternoon session to
make the closing argument for the de-
fense he was accompanied by his wife, a
nursc, and his physician. He looked
weak from the effects of his recent illness,
and by permission Of the court addressed
the jury while seated. Duprey's impaired
physical condition was apparent in his
argument, which was IL disappointment,
but he made one remarkable statement
that the defense had proved more than he
had promised.

Only . "War Scare" After All.

LONDON, Oct. 3o-The Russian embassy
announces that it has received an official
telegram from st. Petersburg completely
denying the stories from Hong Kong to
The Times and Globe about the alleged
secret treaty between China and Russia
by which the latter is said to have been
granted extraordinary concessions. The
Russian officials here add that the visit
Of Prince Wong Chi Chuan to st. Peters
burg. about which so much has been said
recently, was solely undertaken with the
object Of congratulating the car upon
his accession to the throne
