LOST PEOPLE IN LONDON.
Thousands Annually Disappear From,
the Great Metropolis.

tue GTcat MctFopOtiS.
In the. year 1901, the latest for
which statistics are available, no few
er than 35,e33 persons were reported
missing to the London metropolitan
police. Even il we make all reason
able deduction for aged and imbecile
people who have wandered out of
their way. and children that have
been lost through the careiessness Of
servants of their own nlischieSous
propensitieS. there will still remain a
body Of some thousands of persons
who annually disappear from the view
of their friends.
Moreover, there is in London con-
siderable number of men and women
who. practically speaking. have no
friends. or at least they have discon-
tinued correspondence with their re-
lations and live quite alone in London.
The number Of these who disappear
is beyond computation.
Everybody has known instances Of
people disappearing from their circle,
hut the probability Is that such an oc-
curence Is followed by the vanishing
gentleman or lady turning up some
where else. 50 that II Is idle to raise
any suspicion of suicide. mental sb
arration or crime.-Country Life

Temperance Lectures.

DR.. n. w. Tracy, the Kentucky
temperance evangelist, will pitch his
tent on the old court house lot, corner OF
Queen and Columbus streets, this week,
tor a series of fourteen lectures commenc-
ing tomorrow evening. The lectures
which are said to be unparalleled for
their interest and effectiveness will
be interspersed with music. The adj
dresses of DR.. Tracy are humor-
GUS, sarcastic, argumentative, pathetic
and eloquent. There is hardly phase
of the drink question that he does not
present, and so searching are the truths,
so able his arguments, and so eloquent
his appeals, that the interest grows with
each succeeding meeting. In addition
to bringing the subject matter before
the public in word the doctor has added
a high.grade moving picture" machine.
Some of these pictures were specially
prepared TO illustrate the theme of the
lecture.

Wild ducks are making their appear

number of gunners has increased so fast

times t within the memory Of many now
living when the fats aid creeks swarmed
with such game. 1t is 40: 50 now ', and and
some of the species which were al one
time common hereabouts have becol.'e
almost as scarce as sea serpeDts. The
cause is apparent. The ducks have no
more than settled in the water when
gunners, professional and amateur are
banging away at them. The fowls nat
