NEW YoRK's UNEMPLOYED AND
 SICK,

W 2 ]
 With the record breaking army of
 unemployed which the city, through
 it's various charitable institutions, will
 have to support this winter, it faces
 also the problem of caring for an un- precedented number of sick. So many
 cases have been received in Bellevue hospital in the last few days that the institution has been obliged to transfer
 many patients to the Metropolitan and City hospitals on Blackwell's Island, As a result, these hospitals have been filled to overfiowing. One hundred extra cots have been installed in the Metropolitan and as many in the City hospital, and no more patients can be received in either place. The normal capacity of Bellevue hospital is $50 patients. Last night the institution ! contained 959 patients, 100 of them ly- ing on extra cots To meet the unusual emergency, four iron and felt portable houses will be built Work on them will begin tomorrow morning, and
 will be pushed energetically until the nakeshift accommodations are com pleted. Two will be placed on the lawn,
 one on the south side of the insane pa- vilion and one on the tennis court. Each portable house will be 100 by 20 feet, and will accommodate comfort- ably 50 patients. To build and main. tain them an appropriation of s75,OOo,
 granted recently by the beard of esti-
 mate and apportionment for such an
 emergency will be used. Acting Su-
 perintendent Rickard of Bellevue hos pital, said last night that with these additions Bellevue had reached the limit of it's capacity.New York Letter to Philadelphia Public Ledger.

FROM CHICAGO.
Contribution to Bridgeport Fund for
 Hospital Incubator.

Hospital Incubator.
 The fame of the Bridgeport hospital and it's need of an incubator for assist ing nature when babies arrive in this world rather insufficiently provided tn fight their way, has reached Chicago, Ill., and contribution to the fund, stared by Dr. George L. Porter, has been received by the superintendent of nurses at the hospital. The contribu- tion is from a nurse who graduated from the institution last June Miss Jessamine Hane, and 1t proves two things that the news travels far and that graduates do not forget their alma mater.
 Inquiry at the hospital to-day veri- fled the report that a contribution had been received from Chicago. and that Miss Hane was the donor. The in- formation concerning the incubator was conveyed by clippings from the Standard which were sent to Miss Hane with correspondence from some of the nurses now at the institution. Inn mediately Miss Hane realized the need at the institution because she is famil- jar with all it's paraphernalia, and she sent her contribution to be added to the fund for the incubator. It was a pleas ing tribute to the officials.
 The incubator fund is growing, and while the baby who caused it's incep- tion is no more, still such a device is needed at the hospital, for the two- pound baby was not an isolated case, although rare one. If there were an incubator at the hospital it might be the means of saving some little weddings life and assisting it to become strong as any child. The fund is still open. Bridgeport Standard,

Reaction Does Not Materially Impair
 Confidence in Future.
 New York, Dec. S0.-To-day's reaction in stocks received various explanations, but did not materially impair the confi- dence with which the outlook upon the new year is regarded. The stiffenlng of the call loan rate during the day was the most immediately apparent cause of the selling. The surprising fact is that the rise in call money was deferred until practically the last day of the year on the stock excnange. Loans made on Friday at the stock exchange carry over until Monday, and in this case until Tuesday Preparations have been making for the largest January l disbursements in the history of Wall street. Yet the call loan rate has been apathetic up to to-day, and the maxi mum rate touched to-day was five per cent.
 It is not probable that any deep anx- iety over the money market was re- fiected in the day's movement Profit taking on the weeks considerable rise was more likely motive. The steady uplift of prices has developed little in- clination to sell stocks up to to-day. and up to yesterday there has been little appearance of trading for a turn in the operations in the market, The increas- ed animation of the late market yes terday and the early market to-day was rather distinctly of this character and was accompanied by more or less obvi- ous manipulation.
 The profit-taking which met the movement to-day was the usual non- conitant of a movement of speculative nature. This was first manifested to- day in New York Central, which had it's sharpest gain early in the week and in which profit-taking made an early im-

Mr.. HEFLIN'S FUN.
II Elected "SIight Cost Him HIS
seat"

IL Elected "lIight Cost him
Seat"
From the Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser'I
Ordinarily the Advertiser does not
CODY personal cards from other papers
but in tile case of Congressman ). l.
Eehin an exception is made because
he is the Democratic nominee in the
Fifth district and further because
there is some news in it. His card III
the Montgomery Evening Journal OF
Yesterday is copied On.+his page.
1t will be observed that he admits
making the usterances at IusAesee
which the Advertisers staff CORE
spondent reported and which the next
day were condemned in these columns
Unfortunately, however, he does not
vet see that he committed any wrong.
He makes very little attempt at eNpla-
nation and expresses no regret. IN
fact. he boastfully declares that he mas
no apologies to make for his reflections
on the white people Of Alabama-'We
have a way Of influencing negroes
down here" etc.
The only explanation he makes OF
his declaration that a bomb under the
dining table of President Roosevelt
and Booker Washington would have
done no harm is the very brief asser-
ton that il was in fun and that it ere
ated laughter. That is probably an
after thought. but if he has that sort
of conception of fun he is not a man
Of wisdom. of prudence, Of self control
enough to be set up as leader Of
men. That sort of fun does not go IN
congress. He will not be able to get
bills through or to protect the south
from its enemies with such humor as
that. 1t is to be hoped that the expla-
nation. poor as it is will be OF some
service to Democrats in the east and
west when they are faced with his
declaration. but we fear that such will
not be the case.
Mr.. IIetiin says he will carry his dis
trict by 10000 majority. We are not
prepared to dispute it. 1t makes little
difference about the size of his major
ity. But it frequently requires more
than a Democratic majority to seat a
man in congress. If the house is Re
publican he might lose his seat even
with 10000 majority. Those utterances
Of his at Tuskegee and this very card,
making little explanation, expressing
no regret and boasting of a part Of
them, might cost him his seat He
may be very humorous speaker, but
the next house might not like his style
Of wit.

An Absurd Charge.

[From the Richmond Times-Dispatch,
Dem.l
It is said that Mr.. Roosevelt in a
speech delivered before the New York
Wool Exchange ON Oct. %, 1896, re-
ferred to the farmers as the 'basest set
in the land" This statement appears
on a leaflet sent out by the national
Democratic committee, but we wish to
enter our protest against that sort Of
campaigning. 1t is very cheap and can
do the party no good. More than that,
no sane man believes that Mr.. Roose-
welt ever made such a remark in a
public speech. He denies it, and the
committee will do well to take him at
hls word and be done with such pitiful
claptrap.
The Times Dispatch is very anxious
to see Mr.. Roosevelt defeated, but 1t is
unwilling to stOOp to mud fiinging. Let
us have a clean campaign. Both the
candidates are clean men, and there is
no excuse for throwing dirt. If the Re
publicans wish to engage in it, let 'em.
The Democrats cannot afford 1t.

The Rural Free Delivery.
[From the Phlladelphia Press. ]

lFrom the Philadelphia Press.l
AS a matter Of fact, President Cleve-
land in his messages actually opposed
rural free delivery. Nevertheless con-
gress made a small appropriation Of
$4,000 to test the feasibility of es-
tablishing a system Of free mail de-
livery In rural districts. But Cleve-
lands postmaster general, Mr.. Bissell,
refused to apply 1t or make the at
tempt. The appropriation was re-
newed, and Mr.. Bissell's successor,
Postmaster General William L. VIII
son, also refused to use it.
1t was not until President McKin-
ley's administration that any practical
attempt was made to organize rural
free delivery, and then the movement
was taken up so thoroughly, efficiently
and faithfully that while he was presi-
dent about 5000 rural delivery routes
were established and the system was
created and made as permanent a part
Of the postal service as free city de-
livery. There are now more than 90
900 routes in operation, and the whole
work from the beginning has been
done under Republican administration.

Compliments For Helm.

IFrom the ST. Louis Globe-Democrati
In the north and west person who
would talk like this Alabama blather-
skite would be locked up. Apparently
he will be elected TO congress in Ala
bama. Such a man as that ought 10 be
put upon the stump in some Of the
northern states during the canvass to
show a little of the temper of the men
who are running Parker for office and
who would control the Parker admins
tration in the south if he should be
elected. There is a candOr about this
Alabama anarchist which may arouse
laughter in the north. but it will be
necessary for the country to take such
people into the account. An excellent
way to deal with those advocates Of
assassination is to bury under an ava
lanche Of votes the Parker ticket which
they are trying to elect.

TFrom the New FORK FIess'i
Nothing that the Parker canvass can
possibly produce from now till election
6av will astonish us. The limit is
reached. The topmost pinnacle Of i'm
pudence has been scaled. After seeing
Richard Olney point out to Theodore
Roosevelt how to suppress illegal mo-
noDolles there is nothing in the way of
audacity Of which the Democratic cam
paigners are incapable.
Mr.. Omey refers contemptuously to
the Northern Securities suit as evil
dence that nothing in the way of trust

ther than to furnish Republican orators
something to talk about"
There remain the facts, candidly adj
mitted by the chief Parker organ in

signed by a Republican president"
