calities which are the property of the city, and aRainst which Q.023 violations of the Tenement House law have been filed, or an average of i6.s violations for each house. Thirty-three of the houses. 1t is asserted. arc utterly unit for human habitation. Some of the conditions are indescrfbable. Leaky roofs, broken and insufficient skylights, cellars heaped with accumuiations of refuse, rubbish, and rotting garbage. and interior rooms without proper ven- tilation are by no means the worst conditions that obtain. From one house thirty-two seperate and distinct vie- lations are reported. The houses were bought to make way for public im- provements and are leased until they are to be torn down. The peculiar feature of the situation is that there Is not department or branch of the city governnment with the power to demolish them. and 1t is necessary to go to the State Legislature for the necessary authority.
 when 1t comes to . question of chill dren the old lady who lived in the shoe wasn't even a marker beside the old gentleman in spectacles and powdered wig who typifies New York The com plete report of the Police Departments school census has just been presented to the Board or Educatton ana dtscioN- es the fact that there are in the great CT city of Gotham. s43.4s5 children be- tween the ages of and IS years. Only three cities in the United States have that many inhabitants. Tn this big family boys and girls are very equally represented. there being 442.473 of the former and 445.s3s of the latter. The enumerators found s1,o74 children whe are at the age of ten. a number great fy in excess of that at any other age: but the alarmingly small number be- tween IT and 1s years, (only s4,725l). suggests that there was a time when Dr. Stork was 1oafing on his job. There is total of 11s.740 children born in foreign countries. in which number 1t Is rather surprising to note that Rus sia leads with 4s.437.

A ChaId Labor League.

A league was formed in this city this week to look after the enforcement of the child labor laws in this state and an attempt will be made to extend the organization throughout the coun- try.
 In this connection 1t is interesting to note that a recent scIiool census in New York showed that S7.000 children are kept at work in this city and the charge is made by persons who have Investigated the matter that at least 10000 of these are employed H. legally. The conditions are said to be much worse in other sections, es- pecially in the South and in the cot ton mills of New England.
 According to the last report of the National Census Bureau on child la bor, which by the way. was seven years late, there are employed in the United States 1,750,1Ts children between ten and fifteen years of age Forty-four thousand children under the age of fif- teen were employed in the cotton mills alone or nearly one-fifth of all persons employed in that industry. The report showed also that ten per cent. of the persons employed in the glass making industry, which is a most unhsalthfuI work were children under the ages of fifteen.
 It goes without saying that the con ditions are much worse now than they were seven years ago
 It is said by the labor union that there are now employed In thU United States two million children. Many of them work long hours in unwholesomA surroundings and for ridlcu1ously small pay.

A Blow to the Bowery.

Everybody has heard the sonK They say such things and they do such things on the Bowery." etc, but this can no longer be sung of New York's pIctur- esque and widest theroughfare. In fact. the song has been inappropriate for years but 1t is even more so now since the Board of Health has ordered light and cleanliness in the Bowery lodging houses. The stairways must be swept, the rooms must be f,lmieat- ed and ventilated. and there must be clean sheets.
 What success this attempt to infect some measure of civilization into the haunts Of the panhandler and the hobo is doubtful Such things are and al ways have been foreign to the floating population that makes it's temporary home in the ten, twenty and thirty cent lodging houses that the Board of Health has so rudely disturbed.
 There was a time when the Bowery was worth seeing. but that day has passed. It's q very tame street now It does not even boast of an all-night res taurant since Mike Lyonss place closed IL used to be the proud boast of the patrons of this Deimonico of the Bow cry that the proprietor had lost the key to his front door. But late diners became so few that Lyons first had to begin closing at midnight and then he
 
 who can say what will happen to the Bowery now7 Perhaps 1t will soon be lined with fashionable hotels with smartly dressed womOn promenading up and down. Then pity the dime novel author. Where will he put his edevilIsh williams and their yokel vic- tins through their paces7
 The Bowery has almost gone and Chinatown is soon to go. Tn a few years there will be no place for the visitor to go and imbibe local color and mediate on the Wickedness of a great city. Helrs Kitchen is even be- coming respectable and it is feared that San Juan hill will be the next to 20. The denisens of the latter locality are practically the only citizens of New York left who have the energy to re- sist the invasion of the police with bricks pulled from tho chimneys.
 And they say that the latest attack on the Bowery is inspired by po1itics The Bowery is the stronghold of the sullivans who have won the enmity of Mayor Mcclellan by deserting him and aIlyinF themselves with Charles r. Murphy, tho leader of Tammapy Hall. The occupants of these cheap lodging AAMxes are useful to tho Eullivaas slenK

New York'a Amuaement BIlI.

By the end of the season New York will have spent s1s.o00.00O on amuse- ments. theatres, opera and concert in a single year. Never before has the metropolis enjoyed a more prosperous amusement season. The Hippodrome alone averaged $35, ,0o0 a week for forty weeks. total of nearly $1,500,000. The Metropolitan Opera House for seven teen weeks averaged $6o.000 a week, a total of $1,020, ,000. The Manhattan Opera House has varied more. accord ing to the casts offered, but has aver aged $40,000 week for twenty weeks, a total of $s00.000. Nearly $2,000,OOO has been expended to support two rival operas. The number of concerts in sucn places as Carnegie Hall where sym phony organizations perform; Mendels- sohn Hall and a multitude of lesser places is almost inconceivable. Nearly all places have been we'll patronized.
 The eveF-increasing popularity ot vaudeville has brought to the theatre many who formerly visited playhouses only at long intervals. There are sew en leading vaudeville. theatres in the city, whose incomes average not less than S7.500 d week each. There are sixty-five recognized theatres in New York.

peas Muter ;. werkmea.


 Isaac Goodberg who runs . big bot ting works in this city says that he has found deaf mutes to be the best workmen. About seven years ago he needed g man and out of charity and with many misgfvings he employed a deaf mute boy. The lad filled the place 50 satisfactorily that a month later, when there was another vacancy, another deaf mute was employed. Since then the same policy has been con- tinued, SO that st the present time more than half of his employees are deaf mutes.
 At a banquet given to him by his employees the other night, Mir. Gold berg said:
 Most employers have the same feel ing that I used to have--that mutes would be almost impossible as work men. As the result of seven years experience now prefer mutes to oth- CT workmen. They are more faithful and. when once they catch your idea, more intelligent than the normal work man. Their only dissipation seems to be basket ball and other athletic games. pay them higher wages than I do my other men who are doing the same kind of work. If employers only knew these facts there would be fewer deaf mutes walking the streets look Ing for work"

The aurers Hard Hit.

H
 Some of the jurors have paid dearly for the privilege of serving in the Thaw case. With the exception of two all of them are well-to-do business men and the cost to them In the loss of time can be imagined.
 For three weeks the jurors were not even allowed to go home. Every night they were locked up together in the Broadway Central Hotel. The only lib- erty they had was when the court offi- cers took them out for a walk. Even then they were closely watched. Rel- atives and business associates were al- lowed to call on them but only for very short periods and there was no chance for private conversation. for court of- flcers were always on the watch. Af- ter the death of the wife of one of ths jurors they were allowed to go to their homes at night.
 An example of the inconvience Of jury service is found in the case of Juror Steele. He is a contracting bull der of gas plants and at the time he was called for jury duty he was busy preparing a bid for $76,00o contract. the profit from which, he hoped. would be at least t10.00o. Mir. Steele,couid not allow this to influence his answer when he was asked if he could faith fully judge the testimony in the mur-
 
 precision that he was instantly accepted as 8 juror The contractor was lock ed up with the others at the Broad way Central hotel. Meantime the bids for the $75.000 contract were sent in. Juror Steele, not having the data at hand to finish his bid, had to make 8 rough estimate. His bid was second highest. He found afterward that he had made an eryor in computation and that with the data he could have ob- tained he would have got the contract. Another contract on which Mir. Steele was asked to bid he had to abandon al- together.
 Many of the jurors do not have time to dine at home. They manage to keep an eye on their business affairs by spending two or three hours at their ofiice before court convenes and rush. ing off to meet their secretaries or business associates as soon as court adjourns in the afternoon.
 The plight Of tn ejurors in the Thaw case has led to an agitation for a change in the jury system.

Whatever dark forebodinRs pessi- mists may read in the present aRita- ton In Wall Street, the great trans Atlantic steamship lines which ply the ocean ferry between New York and the port of the Old World find no pre- sage of hard times. either this year or next in the volume of their bookings for spring and summer travel abroad.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. May 29.-Additional rains in
Kansas and Nebraska caused an early
break OF nearly cent, bushel in the
price of wheat today, but the loss was
recovered later on active general de-
mand. At the close the July option was
unchanged from yesterdays final quota
was a shade lower. Corn was g to " cent
higher; oats were up cent and provi-
sions W TO 1215 cents higher.
1t looked for a time after the opening
in the wheat market as if prices were
to suffer. Continued wet weather In the
Wheat belt massed pit traders upon the
bear side of the market and free selling
was INDUCED in at the start. Before the
first half hour had passed prices ad-
Vanced more than cent on a good de-
mand by several commission houses.
Later liberal purchases by shorts gave
the market additional strength. Near the
end the market edSed off somewhat on
profit-taking and selling by holders who
did not wish to retain their lines over the
holiday. but the underlying tone Of the
market was rather firm A number of
damage reports were received today, but
none of a serious nature. Reports of a
good export demand for all grains at To-
ronto was an aid to the local market The
close was about steady. July opened y
to q cent lower at 97ssG9S, advanced to
991a and closed at 9Sla- September opened
q to "A cent lower at 9S% 699. advanced to

LOIS, and closed at 1.oO1kQ1. O04s:
A big demand by commission houses and
cash interests made a strong and active
corn market. The opening was rather
weak upon the improved weather condi-
tions, which caused some selling. The
market closed strong. July opened shade
to Il to a cent lower. at 53G5S1s, ad-
vanced to 544 and closed at 535s.
The market for oats was active. A con-
tnued small movement helped to stimu-
