Three weeks ago Reed died. He was
proprietor of barber shop at No. 6l9
Morgan street. Preston was his en-
ploye. The latter stood by his en-
ployers deathbed in the shop: You

was no moisture in his mouth, and his
tongue Glove to the roof.
A short time previous to Reeds death
by some means Preston acquired pos
session Of the formers business. Reed
was rather simple man, unacquainted
with human nature. He maintained
that his employe secured his shop by
improper means. He held his peace
until the night he died.
Since then Preston has had not
moments peace. The dying mans
words continually ring in his ears. In
the morning he thought Of midnight
bells; at noon he thought of cold ghost
hands, and at night he thought of the
promised eXcoriation, and he
t-r-r-r-embled.
Preston also occupied a couch in the
barber shop at night. The building at
No. 619 Morgan street Is an old affair,
and when the wind blows hard the
rafters creak and strange noises are
heard. The electric lights in the neigh
borhood are shaken by the wintry
winds, and cast Pickering shadows in
the old shop.

Things went from worse to worse.

the excess of births over deaths. The
population of Paris Is increased by
drafts from the French provinces and
and not from the excess of births over
deaths in the capital which average
ten a day or $500 a year. There were
in New York city last year $4,000 more
births than deaths. The excess OF
births over deaths in Brooklyn was O.
500 and in Long Island City 5. AS the
population of Long Island City is con"
stantly increasing, having doubled
from 1875 to 1890, and increased so per
cent, from 1890 to 1896, 1t would appear
to be a reasonable inference that resi-
dents of other places are attracted to
Long Island City, the vital statistics
of the municipality furnishing no ad-
eQuate ground for the belief that the
city is increasing rapidly in popula-
ton otherwise. There were rs violent
or accidental deaths in Long Island
City last year. 1851 in Brooklyn. and
1905 in New York, exclusive of sui
cides.
There will be 1893 churches within
the boundaries Of the greater New

elusive of Congregational, Presby-
terrain and Lutheran churches, and ex-
elusive also Of Jewish synagogues, Of
which there are 80 in London. There
are 81 Jewish synagogues in New York
and 16 in Brooklyn. There are 355
churches in Paris of all religious de-
nominations.
New York was INCORPORATED in 1870
Brooklyn was Incorporated in 1901. and
Long Island City as a village in 1889.

The action of the Hawaiian
legislature in promptly and
unanimously ratifying the treaty
for annexation of the island re-
public to the United States is a
subject for congratulation to the
people of both countries. There
is no doubt that the ratification of
the treaty and completion of the
good work will be speedily carried
into effect at the early sessions OF
the United States senate. The
question has been thoroughly
considered by members of the
senate, and the opposition has
decreased with increased know
ledge of the benefits that will re-
suit from annexation. - Tacoma
