THE SIZE OF CITIES.
Interesting story of the Growth OF
Huge Centers.

Interesting story OF the Growth OF
Huge Centers.
From Hsrpsr's Weekly.
There Is almost a touch OF personality
IN the way American cities have moved
IN relative position during the last 100
years. Their changing fortunes are fun
Of suggestiveness.
New York, which had become the laTg-
est city by 1870, had held its place in
front in every census up 10 the present
time. and now. with a population more
than double that Of its next competitor,
is not in immediate danger OF losing its
pre-eminence- Chicago first appeared on
the list in 1850 as the twenty-fifth Amer
lean city. At each census II made q
long stride and passed many competitors,
until it reached second place in 1890.
ST Louis appeared one decade earlier
than Chicago. and by 1880 had jumped 70
the eighth place-a sensational advance.
Philadelphia started in the second place.
has never been below fourth, and Is 10
day the third American city. Boston
started as third. and stands to-day tne
fifth. Charleston, the fourth city In the
original list. lost steadily In relative po-
sition until IN 1850 il appeared for the last
time among the first fifty. Baltimore has
kept it's place very evenly. Northern
Liberties. the sixth city in the frst cen
sus, and Southwark, the tenth, are nov
part OF Philadelphia
1t is interesting TO study the influences
that make cities powerful the world over.
The greatest gathering Of the Chinese Is
at Canton. Honskong Island. at the
mouth OF the Canton River, was well nigh
deserted until European commercial in
terests found their way into Asia, form
ed a new center OF population, and found
ed city that is already great.
European cities have not had so many
ups and downs as those Of America, al
though the population Of Rome has
shown extraordinary fluctuations. Care
ful estimates put It at more than 2,000.-
o00 In the fourth century and at less than
10000 in the eighteenth. 1t is now
about half a million. For many cen
turies London and Paris have oeen the
largest cities in Europe. ST Petersburg,
Berlin, and Liverpool are comparatively

A TRIPLE SURPRISE.

II Came With . Pleasant osting In q
New Auto Car.
A well known author. who for some
years has been an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of the automobile, had an anus.
ing experience, which she describes
in the Bohemian. A new model al
ways attracted her attention, she de-
clares, and when she came out of the
New York hotel where she was stay
ing and saw a fine new car standing
unoccupied by the curb she stopped to
admire it:
While examined it and gazed with
envy a friend, also interested in autos,
came down the steps and approached
the machine.
isn't it stunning!' he said
l agreed enthusiastically and added
that the machine was tantalizing me,
as did SO long to take a spin, that
my chauffeur was i'll and that / was
afraid to run my car through the city.
"Why. l will take you," he said. Il
haven't anything to do this afternoon.
Where shall we go?'
We got in, and l suggested Coney.
To make q long story short, the de-
lightful ride gave us an appetite. We
stopped for dinner and then went out
to Sea Gate to call upon friends. AS
we were crossing the bridge on oul
way home at about IL o'clock my
friend inquired, AT what garage dc
you keep your machine?"
At the question a terrible possibility
dawned upon me. and with the re.
membrance Of certain unfamiliarity
that he had displayed at the first in
situation became instantly clear. He
had thought that the machine was
mine. and I had been equally secure
In the belief that it was his. In Other
words, we had calmly gone or with
some one else's property.
You may imagine our feelings. We
felt confident that we would be ar

up to the hotel inwardly quaking
After much inquiry and explaining
we found the indignant owner. For
tunately he knew me slightly and had
a well developed sense of humor. In
spite of a rather forbidding expires
sion as we first faced him with oul
unfortunate story. I think he believed

His parting remark, however, was
rather puzzling. although he said I,
