Types of Street Vendors.

Who can walk about in this city

men. women, young girls and little
children standing day in and day cut
and often late into the night in the
cutters trying to sell to passers-by a
box of matches. map of London.
twisting toy snake or a bunch of aow-
ers tied to stick? WHO can forget
those looks of appeal? And yet how
little one can help them! London
has great many very poor people,
and nowhere, not even in Paris,
whose danes de la halle" are noted
for their vulgarity and brutality, are
the women as unhuman looking as
are those of the lowest classes in this
huge metropolis so full of culture and
wealth, noblemen and Christian
churches.
There is street type. small, slight,
ound-shouldered. dressed in black
with the invariable black sailor hat;
hair loosely knottcd at the back of
the neck and always about to fall,
shoes terribly ragged-and look so
ignorant and vacant as to be more
bestial than human. A very common
type this is-it almost haunts one.
There is masculine type equally re-
pulsiye; he Is the man We meet COM
ing out of the alehouse or standing
at the door wishing he had enough
pence to go in-most unkempt. for
lorn, neglected, helpless beings, and
here without number.
Yet, If we can get away from this
sordidness and misery London has a
great fascination and charm. When
the spring sun shines on the dear old
abbey and the massive houses of par.
lament and the gayly dressed and
happy people throng into Hyde Park
and everybody seems to know that
everybody else is full of the joys of
springtime and the squares are full
of delightful flowers and shrubbery.
then London is fair indeed. Fortu-
nate is he who can be there. London

The cleanliness of the streets of
London. a city generally spoken of AS
dirty. is very surprising. Dust natur-
ally accumulates and on windy days.
such as have been frequent lately,
some streets are disagreeable, but the
care given them throughout the day,
together with the splendid pavemen s,
makes the worst of them bearable.
The cutters and the street beyo.id
out to about five feet from the cub
stone, if broad street are sprinkled
numerous times a day; If narrow, the
whole street is sprinkled. Boys in
white jackets are busy all the tiile
sweeping and cleaning. In every
block there is at least one large box
what is more, the public has been so
trained that it never throws papers
about.
No one walking down these busy
streets can be immune to the attroc-
tions of the shop windows, so let us
take look at them, too. Stores line
the streets on both sides without an
inch of space between them; they
are not large as a rule, but they have
very large windows filed with shelf ns
and shelves of goods. Many have
more than half their stock thus dis
played. Jewelry shops there are with
out number and their show winGoTs
are full to overlooking. Tea houaes
seem to be next in order. with win
dows full of bakers goods.
A strange sight it is to an American
walking down the Strand between 3
and 10 o'clock in tine morning to see
the shopkeepers leisurly opening their
iron shutters or gates or the boy only
just beginning to sweep out the store.
The street is crowded, at this late
hour, with men hurrying to their of
fees. And at $50 p. m. many close
up again, SO that the business day in
London is very short.

OREGON SENATOR DIES
JOHN H.. MITCHELL EXPIRES As
A RESULT OF HAVING HIS
TEETH EXTRACTED.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 9.-United
States Senator John H. Mitchell died
ut the Good Samaritan hospital In this
rity at 11:40 a. m, death resulting
from complications which followed the
removal of our teeth at a dental Office
the previous morning. A hemorrhage
Of unusual severity followed the re-
moval of the teeth and despite the APP
~plication Of the most powerful styptics
known to dental science the flow of
blood could not be stayed. Physi-
clans were summoned to the dental
office, but the combined scientific
knowledge of the dentists and physi-
clans could not stop the flow of blood.
The senator's condition soon became
alarming and 1t was determined to
remove him to the hospital. When the
senator reached the hospital he was
In a very weakened condition and 1t
became apparent that unless the flow
Of blood was 500 stopped life would
pass out.
For hours the physicians worked
rel the senator and once stopped the
flow OF blood, but only temporarily.
1t began again and a spell OF vomiting
added to the patients weakness and
he lapsed into a state of unconscious
ness from which he never recovered,
passing away at 11:40 o'clock.
