CROWDED LONDON.
rigures Gathered oy Gen. Booth of the
Salvation Army.

Mr.. Booth has checked his former
measurement of London poverty. He
has previously inquired how the people
lived and worked by one method. Now
he tries another. and compares the re-
suits. He has divided London into
about ninety trades or groups of trades.
and he has also classified the whole
population by the number of rooms they
occupy and the number Of servants they
keep. BY this new method he has in
quired what proportion of London popu-
lation"s crowded" and mot crowded
Then he has compared the figures with
those which, by his former methods.
told us the percentage who were in
comfort and the percentage who We're
''in poverty" The two sets of figures
come out with what Mr.. Booth call
startling similarity" He made out
before that nearly 81 per cent of Lon
don people We're living in poverty. By
his new classificatio he finds about 81 p
per cent crowded" His 6S12 per cent
mot crowded compare with a little
over 90 per cent declared in former
volumes to be lin comfort" These
similar results, however, are only oh
tanned when London is taken over its
whole area. Some districts, as Mr..
Booth puts it, are more crowded than
they are poor. while others are more
poor than they are crowded. But the
common measure Of London wealth and
poverty is as close as We could expect
to get. Mr.. Booth finds that four fifths
of our population $50 per cent? live as
six, seven. or even eight in one room. A
families without servants. IL per cent
only have servants, and the remainde,
are inmates of institutions. OF those
without servants there are 10000 SO
very poor that they are living four. five
six, seven, or even eight in one room. a
small proportion are represented as liv-
Ing ten and over ten in one room; but
| happily, here Mr.. Booth distrusts the
accuracy of the census enumeratOrs
| Nearly 100000 are living with only one
room for each person, or at most with
two rooms between three people, three
| between five, or four between seven
| The upper classes are ranked with
those who have one servant or more
for fewer than four members in the
family. and Mr.. Booth justly remarks
on their numerical insignificance. They
number little more than 250, 900, and OF
these less than 100000 enjoy the luxury
of living in families with three or more
servants. These tests Of the condition

Season of Sensat ion.

Sensations of one sort and another
are coming to the front thick and fast.
With street assault shooting secret mar
riage, etc, matters of sensational nature
are not lacking for the spice of gossip
and conversation. We have had an
earthquake among other things to set
the public agog and open up the field of
speculation as to how long it will be be-
fore the gas region country will sink in
to the space left by billions of feet of
gas that have been withdrawn from the
subterranean vaults of tho earth and
now the social fabric is rent by the
shock of stories of an unknown of
this city who is probably to play the
role OF one who has alienated the af-
fectiOns of the husband of a Chicago
wife and who promises to figure prom
lnently in Chicago divorce case. And
now comes the question who is "Your

Sleeping sickness.


In Africa thare is disease that at
not uncommon, is yet involved in mys-
terry. 1t has been the subject of good
deal of profound study, but very little
has been discovered that throws any
satisfactory light on the subject. The
victims are usually men and boys be-
tween the ages of II and 20. At first
the patient Is observed to be liStlesS.
and takes little interest in whatever is
going on about him; then he drops OfS
into sleep, which may continue for
partial wakefulness. With each recur-
ring sleep the condition Is more marked
and the period increases. This state
of things may last for several months.
There seems to be little if any desire
for food, and, after time, the body and
face appear to shrink and become
vrinkled; then there is great emacia-
tion and atrophy. Sometimes the dis
ease runs twelve months, but usually
not more than four or six. At the last
the patients mind may become per-
fectly clear and all symptoms of the
disease leave him, so far as the mind
is concerned. This is one of the pecu-
liarities of this malady, and is wholly
unaccounted for. The only treatment
that seems to be of any benefit what
| ever Is strychnine and the use of cath
Arti: medicines.

From SATURDAYS Daily

FROM Sdlurudy Dally.
AS many people as could be COM
fortably seated were present at the
music store of +. Spangle last night to
hear the piano recital OF Miss Kate
Nichols, of Clicks Comedy Company.
She rendered several selections with
commendable skill and brought out the
full rich tones of the Estey piano to The
best advantage. by way of variation
the musical entertainment was partici-
pated in by some of our home people
and some excellent vocal pieces were
excellently rendered, with pleasure
to all present.
The Estey piano used gave every
evidence of the highest merit in con
structiOn, tone, volume, etc. 1t is an
elegant instrument both il appearance
and in performance.

Huxley and Tyndail.

Tyndall was, | think, one of the
earliest members of the Alpine Club,
but he seeded after an unfortunate dis
pute, which arose in connection with
his own unsuccessful attempts on the
Matterhorn, and Mr.. Whymper's
ascent of that peak, and it was not till
three or four years before his death
that he again attended one of the an
nual dinners of the club, where he and
Professor Huxley were among the
guests of the evening. Both GRATED,
but in the particular art of after-dinner
speaking Tyndall was not the equal OF
his brilliant rival, and his labOred and
rather egotistical utterances contrasted
unfavorably with the delicate persi-
fage of Huxley, who, by the way,
chaffed him unmercifurly on that oc-
casion as being one of the goats and not
one of the sheep-the goats who
climbed the arid rocks; while the
sheep-am among whom Huxley reckoned
himself-browsed contentedly on the
rich pastures below.

A LA MODE.
Brief Fashion Say So Decreed by the Cod
dess for Autumn.


A firm has been organized in New
York to put bindings on dress skirts.
They send for the skirts, clean them,
press them and rebind them with the
best velveteen binding for IS cents and
upward, according to the width of the
skirt A similar concern in every city
should make a comfortable income once
he matter was brought to the notice Of
women. a variety of dainty ac-
essories of pretty summer gowns of the
1icer materials are collarettes, made of
white silk boiling, eXquisitely sheer
and transparent They are shaped like
very deep sailor collars behind, are cut
squarely across in front to make them
he width of wide plat down the
front, and are trimmed with butter
United Valenciennes. This is put in IL
insertion in several rows in odd pat
terms: the piait down the front has sew
eral rows of the lace to match into tiny
vertical ruffies. These dress a plain
silk waist up successfully. COachin~
clOaks are made on the Mother Hub
bard model, with the yoke a series Of
bewildering points from under which
the fullness of the garment hangs TO
the ground. The yoke points are often
finished with black lace and have the
effect of an elaborate collar. Sleeves
are enormous, and under the points,
lace and all, the armholes are so large
that the most ornate sleeve can pass
them without injury. They bag to the
very wrist. and the wrist ties, so that
If it is necessary more room can be
given there to accommodate a cuff or

buster. The cotton crepons IN the light
shades, which are selling at such low
prices. make very fetching evening
gowns if properly designed and
trimmed. A faint green crepon would
look we'll trimmed with white nous
seine and wide silver braid. The pink
crepon which is just the shade of q
wild rose would make an effective lit
tie dinner dress combined with black
chiffon and black lace, while for a
piazza tea it would be admirable worn
with a soft embroidered null sailor
collar and a sash Of white taffeta rib
bon scattered with pink rose petals.
| Torchon lace is again to be admitted
TO use on underwear and the simpler
cotton gowns. 1t is imperative that
only the finer quality be used, for It
was the prevalence OF loosely woven
mesh that some years ago turned the
market against this really useful ana
pretty lace, Night dresses for the warm
season are made sleeveless, except for
frills of lace set in the armhOle. A
wide sailor collar turns away from the
throat, and the gowns are long and
fully two yards about the hem. What
ever else is said of them they are very
pretty.-EX.

1t is remarkable how some men who
Tan ignore some of the points connected
with all up-to-date newspaper when
"blowing their own horn" We have
seen newspapers, published in towns
fully able to give them good support,
but who give to the people blanket
sheet to read instead of neat well
printed paper. Tie man who follows
the lines of new paper worker and an
nOunces to the public his thanks for
their support. and yet who neglects
the mechanical department uses
antiquated type, which makes the
little reading matter lie may have,
though pertinent to his home people,
SO blurred or poor as to be almost un-
readable is surely not an up-to-date
newspaper man when these blemiShes
are sent out week after week.
We saw d short time ago county
newspaper, wherein the publisher
thanked his patrons Tor their support
during the year just past, and the cir
cumstanceS were in full harmony with
the above; and yet the editor told his
readers that it was the best paper pub
lshed in that meek of the woods" and
up tO-date.
1t is proper for publisher to gain al
the benefits possible III his line of work
but consistency is a good thing to cling
to before an intelligent public.

The Louisville Courier Journal re-
Gently devoted almost page to giving
all account of Indiana in the War.
1t shows that Indiana was first in devO-
ton TO the union and 10 state shows a
brighter recOrd.
Nv hen the end of the war came,
although Indiana was a border state
ana her strength might have been
needed to keep the enemy off her soil,
still When the books are balanced it was
shown that Indiana had put into her
army 15.3 per cen of her men of mill
tia age, according to the census of 1860,
a higher percentage than any of the
larger states, the average of the north
being GLIB.
The deaths were Ia per cent of the
enlistment. The average death rate of
all the states is l6.1 per cent, showing
indlana'S death rate to be higher than
the average. At the battle of Manassas
the Nineteenth Indiana regiment lost
81 per cent of her men.
NO state has erected such monu-
ment In honor of her soldiers as can be
seen at Circle Park, at Indianapolis
and in addition to this Indiana has for
years kept sailors and soldiers
orphans home, and a soldiers home is
now being erected near the famous
Tippecanoe battle ground in the yicini
