New York and London
Items of Greatness In the Two Cities
Where We Excel.

It is said of London, in praise of its
greatness, that:
In London child is born every three
minutes and a death is recorded every
FIVE minutes The city contains 700 rail-
way stations, 5000 omnibuses, 1000
Daily 100000 persons travel on under
ground railways.
Eleven railway bridges span the
Thames. Four thousand postmen de-
liver 10000 900 letters weekly, walking
distance equal to twice the circumference
of the globe. There are 10000 miles OF
overhead telegraph wires, and the num-
Der of telegraph messages received II
London in a year is 100000.
Ninety million gallons of water are
consumed daily The railways, onlr1i-
buses, cabs and steamboats, convey 1875
100000 passengers daily, and the under
ground railways 263,ooo,ooo passengers.
The 1I8 square miles of London are
lighted by 4,o74 electric arc lights, I,I85
candescent gas lamps and 1898 flai
iidlitc gas DuIISIS.
Well, New York can do something ir
the same lines of municipal greatness.
With smaller number of inhabitants
than London it exceeds it in the volume
of travel, in the amount paid for work
in the volume of work done, and in the
| increase in the number of buildings, oc-
cupants of a building and of population
Where London consumes 100000
gallons of water day, New York con-
sumes 5oo,ooo,ooo Where London has
an area of II8 square miles, New York
has 326.
In New York every minute two immi-
grants arrive-nore than 100000 a
year. Every six minutes child is born.
Every seven minutes there is a funeral.
Every hour a new building is erected.
New York has more children at its
public schools than London; fewer paup-
ers; lower death rate; fewer uninhab-
tied houses; more parks, more bridges,
fewer jails, better distributed street
traffic and higher standard of health.
New Yorks subway carries more pas
sengers in a day than London's under
ground. The number of crimes of
violence is twice as large in London as
in New York, and the number of ar
rests for drunkenness in London is four
times as great as the number of arrests
for the same cause in New York.
New York has more fires in year
than London, and sthey entail greater
loss. 1t has less shipping as port than
London, fewer clerks to the whole popu-
lation employed, but more bosses or en-
ployers.

FADS AND FANCIES.
BY M1NNA ScHArr CRAwFokD.

Fashions forecast for September
points very emphatically to short sleeves
and indicates that they are in higher ia
vor than ever, not alone for waists and
bodices, but for outer wraps. Advance
importations of Paris styles now on view
in the Fifth avenue shops show the most
pronounced fall and winter coats and
wraps with half and three-quarter length
sleeves, and this in spite of all predic-
tons that the fall would see radical
changes in sleeves. There's no denying
the youthful effect of the short, pulled
sleeves; they somehow take years off
ones appearance, which helps to explain
why the short sleeve is too well en-
trenched in my lady's favor to be quickly
deposed.
A pleasing innovation is noted in the
return of those becoming lace under
sleeves that were the craze about six
years ago. They are full length and
close fitting, falling over the hands in
long points, like mitts. Made of trans
parent lace, in either black or white,
they are extremely effective, and the wo-
man with thin arms will rejoice at their
return to favor.
Sleeves have somehow grown to be
the determining factor in fashions, the
vital point, the center about which every
thing else revolves. This question of
sleeve style settled, one can draw breath
of relief and go ahead with plans and
preparations for the fall wardrobe.
