woman has disappeared.
The $1,000 is now regarded as gone

SUFFERING OF POOR
IN ENGLAND GROWS

LONDON, Nov. eff this is to be
severe winter it is evident there will
be more suffering among the pool
than ever has been known. The un
employed over the whole country have
beeh desperate for long time now
as they see no prospects of work, and
the London employed are driven mad
by the proposals of Yarrows and 9th.
er firms to remove their works from
the Thames owing to the heavy taxes
they have to pay nowadays toward
what they call the London county
councils extravaganza"
To alleviate the distress. Queen AL.
exandra has started fund with a
subscription OF $4,000. Calling down
the blessings of the poor on her ma
jesty's head, this fund has already
swelled to considerable proportions,
but the question now arising which
Is troubling the minds of those whose
duty 1t would be to administer the re.
lief. is: How is this to be done?
The queen first announced that she
meant this to be a fund for the unem-
ployed OF London and the suburbs,
but when the report spread. what was
the result? Crowds of miserable peo-
pie. great majority of them OF the
most undesirable character. have been
pouring into London. Consequently
the queen had 1t announced that the
fund should be for the unemployed OF
the whole country. but the mischief
had been done, and still they come,
for they think they will get a share
Of this fund sooner by coming to Lon
don than by remaining in their own
places.
A large sum has been contributed
to the fund from the stock exchange,
Notwithstanding the poor business
that is being done there.

warm they sometimes spend half their
time trying to keep the servants from
putting too much fuel on the fire.
To prevent Americans and other
pyromanincs from melding with the
fuel they often keep the coal bin lock-
ed. 1t is touching spectacle to see a
group OF Americans shivering round n
little stove; to see the servant enter,
take out key, unlock the .,conl bin,
put two or three spoenfuls Of coal III
