3. 900; Rochester, 1000, Syracuse, 100
They are all, practically, In the larger
cities OF the state, the one exception
being Buffalo, which has 1000 more
men than women. II would be inter
estlng to know more about these 1000
supernuous Buffalo men, whether they
are PolaclSs, Italians, lake sailors, ca

bachelors from the country In the
western part Of the state who have
gone TO Buffalo to seek their fortunes.
New York city's business opportuni'
ties, which attract crowds OF men,
seem 10 attract quite as many women.
Yet the excess OF women In New York
Is comparatively small. The city has

women 10 every twenty-five men, and
Troy eleven women TO every ten men,

America owes her first pottery to Il
woman. The lockwood, which Is

Longworth Nichols, now Mrs Storer.
The Cincinnati pottery, which is made

founded by n woman-a Miss Louise
Mclaughlin. The Chelsea pottery,
which was wrested from the buried
past Of the Chinese, where II has been
lost for hundreds OF years, the secret
OF the famous "Ox Hood coloring,
the beauty OF whose ware lies In
the hardness Of the pottery and the
marvellous coloring that the glaze takes
on, employs Il woman decorator, but
she merely follows the copies made for
by artists. The Low pottery II mod

colored glaze. The use OF tiles for
decorative purposes Is rapidly ON the

building TO be tiled In this country
was the Fulton bank OF New York,
When the 5000 Limoges underglaze
