New York'a Tenement Houses.

One of the Indications of the I'M
provement OF the masses in this city is
the gradual adjustment of the tene-
ment. as the word is generally under
stood. The big rookeries. with their
small rooms airless halls and rusty
fire escapes, are going out of existence
In the ordinary course of events. by
fire, tumblng down and being remov-
ed to make room for modern struc-
lures, and the people who live in them
are seeking more airy homes In the
suburbs or in the fats up town
While the foreign elxnent continues
to live in tenements for the first year
after reaching New York the children
of foreign parentage are not willing to
exist In the noisome quarters OF the
east and west sides. They crave more
light more air and cleanliness. and In
many cases they get 1t. Rapid transit
makes Harlem as accessible as Grand

The appointment of Hon. Andrew p.
Wiswell to the position Of Chief Justice
of Maine upon the retirement of Judge
Peters, December Bis, Is one that was
expected and will give general satisfac-
ton. He has served seven years as AS
sociate Justice and is one OF the most
popular members of the bench. The
appointment OF Hon. Frederick A. Pow
ers WAS, also, not unexpected. Indeed,
no other gentleman's name had been
presented TO the governor for the honor
able position, it being generally conced-
ed to the eastern part OF the State and
to Mr.. Powers. Mr.. Powers is well
known all over the State as an able law
yer. He held the office of Attorney
General, discharged the duties In an
able manner and has built up large
practice. He also served as County Al
torney and in both houses of the Maine
legislature. Frederick A. Powers, son of
Arba and Naomi Powers, was born la

was passed on his fathers farm In Pitts

There has been some excitement on

that force of Irish Americans were
missing in the vicinity of Buffalo, N.

that government from sending troops to

imminent from such movement. The

vigorous measures to prevent any such
demonstration, should it assume d, finite
