come the means of conveyance of the
poor and the old invitation to come
for a ride in the park in a hanson
is likely soon to be looked upon as
Ia penurious means of entertainment.
This changing of conditions is due
to the innumerable receivers of the
city's various street railways, nearly
all of which. under the load of wat
cred capitalization, have been losing
money from the standpoint of those
millionaire philanthropists who have
been kind enough to finance them.
At present with various separate
lines in the hands of different re-
ceivers each intent on cash earnings,
and obvious to the public need, it is
not only possible but necessary in
one specific case to pay fifteen cents
for a ride of five blocks. Formerly
this ride cost only five cents, but
with the abolition of transfers the
city has achieved the title, whether
unwillingly or not, of having the most
expensive street car service in the
world. For the ride above mentioned
an auto cab would be as cheap, and
if present developments continue the
titel of the street car as the poor
mans carriage" will be a misnomer

The most incOnsolable mourner of
the famous Tom Plat, who was re-
Gently shot back of the city hall, is
Marty Reese. the janitor of the IA
nous building. The Tom Plat in
question it should be understood is
not New Yorks well known and
aged senior senator. but the city
hall cat. which for fourteen years
has held the rafting championship of
the institution. Last summer Tom
Platt together with his co-wcrker,
Theodore Roosevelt, was discharged
from the city hall because of old
age. Such strong objections were
raised, however, that the two were
reinstated. Theodore Roosevelt as
might have been expected shortly
threw up the job and disappeared.
Tom Plat, as might also have been
expected, stuck to his job tenacious
ly, although almost blind and totally
unfit for service. Recently his blind
ness became complete and as he had
achieved the ripe old age of eighteen
years 1t was decided to end his eX-
istence by a bullet. In his death the
city hall lost one of it's most famous
characters almost as we'll known to
oclal politicians as the senator after
whom he was named. Since his de-
mise Janitor Reese has been overrun
by persons possessing cats who de-
sire to see them installed as Tom
Platt's successor. Many prize cats,
angoras and the like, have been re-
jected because of their inability to
be stolen. The one which was final
ly selected was blind in one eye and
minus one ear, although a champion
ratter. 1t was joyfully accepted by
Reese both because ii was unlikely
to be stolen and on account of the
plague of rats which has lately be-
set the city hall. The name of the
new feline office holder is William
j. Bryan, for according to Roose it
was necessary to have a democratic
representation in the building where

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE arrival of the

tend the first meeting of the cabinet
before the assembling of Parliament
was made the occasion of a public
demonstration by the women suffra-
gists. The police anticipated trouble.
and a large force was present. but the
women succeeded in making their way
inside the residence of Premier Camp

made before order was restored.
Some of the demonstrates adopted a
novel manner 10 prevent being carried
off by the police. They had attached to
their belts stout chains which, when
they saw the police about to lay hands
on them, they quickly threw around the
iron railing in front of the building.
The police had to break these chains by
force before they could get the women
away.
The s~uffragists subsequently were ar
raigned in the Bow Street Police Court.
They refused to give sureties for their
good behavior, and were sent to prison
for three weeks.
