A Newspaper ror Beggars.


 One of the queerest newspapers pub lished in Paris is daily journal, got up especially for beggars. The mendi- cants of Paris have their labor union, and labor dues in the same way as an ordinary trade. Only limited num- Der of hektograph copies of the jour- nal are issued, and these are distribut- ed among the various district head quarters of the metropolis. It con- tains tips for all sorts of mendicants. There are complete lists of the bap- tisms, weddings and funerals to take place each day, so that the beggar knows where to go if he wants to ply his trade successfully. For the advan- tage of begging letter writers, a spe- eial column is set apart for noting the arrivals and departures of per- sons of known charitable tendencies. If the philanthropist millionaire should be surprised on returning to Paris that pleas for assistance at once begin to pour in upon him. he will be able to ascribe this phenomenon to the kind offices of the Beggars' Journal

ing proclamation to the citizens:
1T is known that large quantities Of
ammunition are in store at numerous
places in this city, greatly in excess of
any possible requirements. These ac-
cumulations are the result of the war
conditions which have existed for three
years, and now that the city is in a
condition of profound peace and no
member of the community has any re-
quirement for deadly weapons of the
character indicated. it is evidence at
once of good faith and patriotism to
dispense with their retention. Actu-
ated by these feelings many citizens
have for several days past been yolun-
tarily turning in these arms and have
requested the United States authori-
these to receive them. Castle La Punta
has been designated as an armory for
their deposit and receipts are given
for the weapons turned in

are required to report infectious dis
eases, saloons and restaurants are al
lowed to be open until midnight, in

titution with the locality Of the street

lions will be issued. In cases of ill
ness special food will be supplied by
