Number Growing Less.

Yet all the testimony I can gather In
dicates that. however many there may be
now, the number is growing less steadily.
This may be because better provisions are
made now for caring for the disabled poor
or because times are better, or maybe
the authorities are shrewder in granting
permits and refuse licenses to the takers
and pretenders who. 1t is related, for
merly throve upon public charity.

Never Actually Beg.

It Is noteworthy that the beggars never
actually beg. They simply hold out their
cards or laces or matches to the passer-
by and wait. Occasionally they may be
heard to murmur something indistinctly
that is probably an appeal to buy. but
the ear is never shocked with the walls
Of poverty. The eve gets all that is re-
quired.
No one seems to know exactly how many
Of these people there are on the streets
Of London There may be a census of
them somewhere. but l have been unable
to find 1t. The licensing authorities can
throw no light upon the question, be-
cause they grant vending permits indis-
criminately to genuine peddlers and beg
ging match sellers alike, and there are.
of course, many thousands of license
holders In London. Policemen will vary
widely In their estimates. This is be-
cause the average London copper"
knows practically nothing about any part
Of the city but that which he patrols.
He knows that part perfectly. but off
his beat he may be as ignorant as a
newly arrived tourist. Consequently he
will Judge Of the beggars from what he
sees, and If there are many In his dis
trict-which means that he patrols
section much frequented by strangers
he Is apt to tell you on inquiry that there
are thousands of the poor wretches In
the city, whereas a policeman stationed
In another part of town will declare that
there are "only a 'andful."

CORRESPONDENT IS TAXED.
Woman Named in Divorce Suit Must
Paw the Costs.

Justice Gould in Equity Court No. z
yesterday afternoon established a prece.
dent in local divorce proceedings when
he taxed the costs in suit against the
''other woman in the case" The justice
has previously assessed costs against the
correspondent when a man was named
but his decree Of yesterday is said to be
the first time a woman correspondent has
been made to bear the expense to which
she has put the wife in the latters effort
to secure a divorce.
This unique decree for costs forms part
Of the order of Justice Gould granting
an absolute divorce to Clara II. Hamilton
from Albert B. Hamilton. The wife is
given the custody of the four children
Of the couple.
Another unusual feature of the decree
is that the wife is required to pay a
counsel fee of SO to the attorney ap-
pointed by the court to defend the hus-
band.
Attorney Howard Boyd appeared for
the wife.

NEW PLAN TO FURNISH
REMOUNTS FOR ARMY
Government to Purchase 100
Approved Stations for
Breeding Purposes.

More remounts for the army is the
aim of scheme for establishing horse
breeding stations in this country that
has been worked out by the War Depart
ment in conjunction with the Department
Of Agriculture.
In taking this step the American gov
eminent is only following the practice
that has been followed in Europe for
years, and to which England has recently
been forced by the scarcity of horses.
1t is proposed to purchase one hundred
stations of approved type and have them
distributed throughout specific districts
where their service to the farmers with
approved mares would be free. The
government in return would acquire an
option on the colt at three years of age.
Until recently there was an abundance
of horseflesh to be purchased by contract,
but it takes two thousand horses a year
to supply the needs of even the small
United States Army. and horses are grow
ing scarcer and more expensive annually.
Divided Into Districts.
1t is proposed to divide the country
roughly into four breeding districts. In
each of these there would be varying
numbers and types of government stall
lions scattered around a central depot.
The plan. as outlined. would give New
England 10 Morgans; the central district,
including Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and parts of Ohio and
Indiana, 80 thoroushbreds. 10 standard
breds and 10 saddlers; the southwestern
district. including Missouri, Texas and
parts of Iowa, thOrOughbreds, . Saddlers
and standardbredS; the northwestern dis
trict. including Montana, Washington,
Oregon and California, ID thoroughbreds
and 10 StandardbredS. 1t is considered
that from this distribution there would be
available to the government =, AGO desirable
remountS annually.
The cost of establishing and looking
after the breeding service for the first
year would be $25O.0oO, while after that it
is thought the service could be maintain
ed for $1UO.GDO annually.
The officers, both of the army and the
Department of Agriculture, are very much
impressed with the plan and declare it
would be great saving to the govern
ment-
