HE New York World tells
pathetic story of a man, his wife
and three children, who walked
into "a police station in the great metro
polls the other day nearly starved and
so weak and emaciated from their hun
ger and exposure that 1t was barely
possible for them to drag their feet
across the threshold of the station.
The man had walked the streets for
days and days, seeking employment OF
any kind, only to be turned away
everywhere without success and with
out hope. Every winter in the larger
American cities such incidents are be-
coming more and more numerous. In
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, st.
Louis, in big cities all over the country,
thousands are on the verge of starYa-
ton. nor is it any exaggeration to say
that many of them die. In this respect
American cities are rapidly approach
ing the conditions of European cities.

Boston's Triangular Fight.

n TucH has been made of John L.
M Sullivan's alleged candidacy for
the office of mayor of Boston.
but there was never anything serious
about it. Little has been heard of the
candidacy of Thomas Riley for that
office, yet 1t is likely to be a matter of
a good deal of Importance.
Mayor Josiah Quincy has been max
ing an active campaign for reelection.
He has made d good-enough mayor,
although an eXtravagant one. He calls
himself democrat, although by what
right is not clear. since he never de-
elared himself a supporter of the Chi
cago platform; and that is the test that
is becoming constantly more definite.
The republicans have Edwin T.. Curtis
for their candidate. He once served a
term as Boston's mayor.
Riley is in the field for mayor as the
candidate of the straight democracy
He is for free coinage, he is an ardent
supporter of Bryan, and he has made
ii "A point, in the course of n vigorous
campaign. To assert that if men like
Josiah Quincy who pose as democrats
had been true to their party. Bryan, as
democracy's leader would be the occu-
pant of the white house to-day
Throughout the campaign the ques
ton has been not So much as To Riley $
election-snce the goldbugs have the
machine in Boston-but whether the
silver candidate would make it possible
for the republican to defeat the gold
bug democrat.

American colleges. The University Of

port gross receipts Of more than $4,000.

In a newly patented bottle the top
portion of the neck is broken by in
sorting the cork, which holds 1t In
place until the contents of the bottle are
wanted when the broken part is re-
moved with the cork and cannot be re-
placed, thus preventing fraudulent re-
filling.
Lamps are prevented from exploding
when the OF! becomes heated and turns
to gas by a safety cap, which covers
a vent hole in the side of the lamp and
has an outlet which is forced open by
the expansion of the gas, thus allowing
it to escape without explosion.
Pellets of solder are used in a recent
ly designed soldering iron, which also
has gasoline tank and burner to heat
the point of the iron, the pellets of sol
der being dropped from the reservoir
by pressing key and passing through
a channel in the hot iron. which melts
them as they drop from the point.
To obtain power from the motion OF
the waves, a number of air pumps are
attached to an air reservoir ana oper-
ated by connecting the pistons to bent
arms pivoted to the base OF the feSer-
voir, and having hollow balls at their
outer ends, which rise and fall with the
motion of the waves to work the PTS
