CAUSES OF POVERTY.
Some Conclusions of StntiSticians as
to the MiSfortuueS of the POOR.


Various attempts have been made
recently to get at the causes Of poverty
by means of statistics. In Europe pau
pers are defined to be those who receive
aid from the government or charitable
funds. The proportion of paupers to
the whole population is highest in
England. 2S per 1000. In Scotland it is
p, in Ireland %, in Holland 20, in Italy
10. in Austria 9. in France S, and in
Germany :. There is no similar di-
vision made officially in the United
States, and, taking the country
through, the proportion here is less,
probably, than per cent. When it
comes, however, to the causes of pow
erty the American statisticians are, so
to speak. right in line with what some
persons would call their conjectures,
but what they describe as their con-
illusions. Thus, Of 100 cases of pow
erty II per cent. are chargeable to
drink in excess, 21.3 per cent. to what
the statisticians call ''misconduct," a
rather vague designation for unwise
or reprehensib.e acts; 2s5 per cent. to
lack Of work or inadequate pay for
work done, or insufficient. half-time
employment, and m>st of the remain
der to "misfortune."
What particular distinction the sta
tisticians are able to establish between
misconduct" and "misfortune" is not
easily stated, for some acts of miscon-
duet are clearly due to misfortune. and
many instances of misfortune are di-
rectIy traceabIe 10 misconduct. but the
statisticians do not concern themselves
with such trifies as these. They only
deal with what they call broad propo-
sitiOns,' and one of them, Charles
Booth, Of East London. has ascertained
by investigation that in the poorer dis
tricts of the British capital exactly IL
per cent. of those male or female adults
who are charge either upon the gov
eminent or upon others for reasons not
arising from physical causes owe their
Indulgence to drink, though it has been
observed by some travellers in East Lon
don (and travellers who are not sta
tisticians) that the absence of dring is
at times more poignant cause of the
visible distress than is unbridled m
diligence in ale. porter or bitter beer.

The Pay of Columbus Sailors.

A curious discovery has been made
in the archives of the Spanish navy
the bills of payment of the crews who
cor"posed the caravels of Christopher
Columbus. The sailors, according to
their class, received from ten to twelve
francs a month, including their food.
The captains of the three large carayels
had each so francs a month. As for
of admiral, he was paid 1900 francs q
year.-N. Y. Sun.

the way, went to see The Sign of the
Cross" in Adelaide. They had parcel

and they wept copiously and ate pie

In the second they slept soundly until
a particularly narrowing scene awoke
one of the pair, and, without warning,
she took a dive, accompanied by three
pies, into the front gallery row. They
rescued the lady, but the pies went on
and broke with a loud report in the
stalls. For some minutes the people
below delighted the gallery by their
frantic attempts to get the potato out
of thais hair and rescue the kidney and
onion which had nestled inside their
collars, and then matters became nor

work, assert the clothes, put the linens first

 John Lewis, whom his friends call 'Forepaugh," has lately brought to town some interesting mineral speci- mems. One is small, round piece of dark red porphyry as large in diam eter as a quarter of dollar. In the center is a figure "s7,' not a rough outline or mere suggestion of the numeral but as distinct as it would be possible to make it. The figure is composed of dull green rock. This specimen was found near the Agua Ffia reservoir site. The other speci- mems were crystals found along the Castle Creek wagon road. They look like cobblestones, all egg-shaped and varying in size between hen egg and a. goose egg. Attention was at first attracted by their extraordinary Iightness. One was broken and found to be only a shell, the inner surface glistening with crystals. In one was found a large crystal bearing an un- mistakeable resemblance to chrys- anthemum.

YELLOW ADVERTISING.
Prospectuses of World and Journal
 Schemes Reach Phoenix.

Those yellow twins, the New York World and the New York Journal, are each out with another advertising scheme. Photographic prospectuses of the project have been received in Phoenix by Governor McCord, Acting Governor Akers and -<tx-Governor Franklin. The Journal has worked the Evelina Cossio y Cisneros case to an apparent finish Miss Cisneros is the young woman who was arrested in Cuba, accused of taking part in a conspiracy to murder Spanish officer. The Journal laid the matter before the people of the United States, declaring the innocence, youth, beauty and aristocratic connection of Miss Cisneros. It further represented that she was about to be executed, or at least imprisoned for life after a mock trial had been held. Sympathetic peo- pie of this country were stirred. Some wrote to the queen-regent and others to the pope, and others to pret- ty nearly every man who might be influential for the amelioration of Miss Cisneros' condition. All this happened so quickly that hundreds of the most prominent men and women in this country became engaged in the movement in behalf of Miss Cisneros without seeking any other informa- tion regarding the case than that of fered by the Journal.
 While the sympathetic excitement was at white heat communication was received at the state department from Consul-General Lee. The story was relieved of all it's romance. Miss Cisneros might be young and beauti- full and innocent. but she was not i highly connected The consul-general | said she was in no danger. She 1 would certainly receive a fair trial The sympathetic people of this coun- try were cooled off and assured, and things resumed their wonted course Comparatively little was heard about Miss Cisneros after that until the other day Miss Cisneros somehow made her escape from prison. The Journal announced in the same ac- count that it had planned the jaf break and caused it to be executed The Journal is now telegraphing gov ernors and other conspicuous folks all over the country asking them
 what they think about the perform ! ance.
 The Worlds advertising scheme i.
 slightly different. It is employing the domestic troubles of Governor At
 kinson of West Virginia and his wife
 who were lately married. During tn, courtship Mrs. Atkinson was indicted
 for forgery in connectionswith the af
 fairs of her late husband. The trial
 which is now pending, was described
 in yesterdays Republican. Tn
 World is sending out telegrams t,
 governors and asking them If thei
 wives were convicted of fel
 ony whether they, would par
 don them with promptness Acting Governor Akers received sucl an inquiry yesterday. He made n' reply to it, for though he would d.
 just what every properly constitute husband would do, he feels that sue. } contingency as the World describe has not arisen to make him show hi hand.

Harry George was mem Der of the party and by reason Of his former and successful connection With the comic stage had been elected comedian to the crowd. MT. George was called upon to perform the dut1es of his office He arose and said that his survey of the old church had turned his memory upon the things of long ago. He would speak piece which he had spoken in school just thirty-two years ago to the very hour. He had not spoken it since, but that made no difference, for his strong point was his splendid mem ory. He had never forgotten any thing he had ever heard. MT. George had a hard time, though. remembering even the name of his piece At last he remembered that it was "The Smack in School" but he had forgot ten the first line. It was suggested to him by bystander and he began,

An old lady who did not know Mr. George was sitting be- side his wife She turned to her aud said: 'sI may be dull of comprehen- sion Will you tell me when it's time to laugh at that fool? He is natural born idiot: or is he drunk?" Mrs George with shame confessed her re- aationship to the performer and the old lady exclaimed, "Oh! my" in tone which indicated less a feeling of cha grin than that her first impression was permanent.
