New York, Jan. New York's
annual New Year debauch was even
more hilarious this year than ever
before. Probably every other man
on the streets this afternoon was
drunk or near-drunk. and the indul-
gence in liquid refreshments was not
confined to the masculine sex. In
carriages. cabs, express wagons. au-
tomobiles and on foot hundreds of
thousands of jewellers carried out
the custom of paying New Years
calls. not only at the houses of their
friends and acquaintances, but also
at the homes of utter strangers. Bus
iness is generally suspended and the
entire population of the greater city.
which is today celebrating it's tenth
birthday as well as the arrival OF
the new year. is giving itself over
TO unrestrained merriment.

THROPIC WORK.

Paris, Jan. AFTER more than
twelve centuries Of philanthropic
work, the last of the Catholic sisters
left the Hotel Bieu today and their
duties will hereafter be performed
by lay hands. The leaving Of the
nuns was the occasion OF demon
stration by the people Of the neigh
borhood, who loudly protested
against the enforcement of the as
sociations law against the Catholic
nurses of the oldest hospital In
France. The foundation Of the Ho-
tel Bieu goes back to the earliest
Christian times, as Il was practically
established at the same time as the
see OF Paris. Even the govern
ment of the first revolution did not
dare to expel the nuns from this an
cient hospital. Beginning today, the
hospital will be entirely secularized.
and no members of religious orders
will be allowed on the premises.
