CLANS and $50 Newfoundlanders in tn.
city. The u1nber of other foreign
ers is insignificant compared With
these figures.
The hotel walters of New York are
dissatisfied with their lot and. assisted
by h chambermaids and other or
eanized hotel employees threatened a
general strike unless the hotel man
ayers should concede their demands.
II walters in the smaller hotels were
quite ready and willing to go out. but
the walters in the big hotels, patron
lied by the wealthy. were not quite so
enthusiastic and in several instances
declined to obey the strike order.
They may grumble about certain con-
sacrifice the chance of tips for the
sake of some trivial notion. They
know quite we'll that they could never
obtain enough wages to make up for
the loss in tips.
If everything goes we'll New York
is going to nave another safe and
sane Fourth of July his year. Tho
committee appointed by Mayor Gay
nor. to take charge of the Fourth of
July celebrations has issued an APP
peal for funds and expects to collect
about $1,000 900. which is considered
enough to furnish the pleasure low
ing multitude with about four hun
dred local celebrations scattered over
the whole of Greater New York.
Probably no other city in the world
has so many cranks in judicial posi-.
tons rs New York. In many in
stances it is difficult to decide to which
causes may be due the a%bsurdity of
certain judicial decisions. In some
the peculiar rulings and decisions are
due in a large measure to secret in
luences. but in other cases there is
no such suspicion; the whole trouble
seems to be in some disorder of the
judicial liver.
This point is clearly illustrated by
u case which happened in a recent
Jury trial before a certain judge in
this city. AS the district ATTORNEY was
about to conclude the presentation
OF the case of the people to the court
the presiding judge said:
is that all you have in the way
OF evidence in you rotten case?"
The assistant district attorney re-
piled: 1T is all the evidence have
except the written confession Of the
defendant"
Without waiting for the introduce
ton of the confession. the Judge turn
ed to the jury n said: Because Of
me improper remark made by the dis.
tr'ct attorney I direct YOU to acquit the
defendant"
The jury followed this instruction
and the confessed offender went free.
Scores of cases Of a similar char
acter could be enumerated. It may
be added that during the past year 81
burglars. after having been duly con-
victed. were permitted to go free I'M
der suspended. sentences. Police
Commissioner Waldo has pointed to
the fact that this ill-advised leniency
of the courts has a decidedly d%iscour-
aging effect upon the police depart
ment and the large number Of crimes
committed in this city every month
seems to bear out this contention.

is believed to be the richest church
in the world. This belief may he UNI
founded. but there is not the least
doubt that it is the richest church
in America. According to conserva-
tive estimates the property. mostly in
zeal estate. owned by the church. rep
resents a value of more than S75,0O0.-
600 at present market values. The
annual income of the church. from all!
sources, is considerably more than

abbreviated bathing suit. 1t was
charged that the woman in the bath

CARRIED sister had an alteration upon
the public street. winding up in a
fight. The defendant. when asked
how she happened to appear upon
that she was in the habit of doing her
house work in that costume and in
her excitement over the fuss with her
sister had overlooked the fact that
she was not quite properly dressed for
an appearance in public. The fight

that EVELYN is said to he the mother
of a child of 81 months. it is prob

suing for divorce. 1t might be rather
awkward to be called upon to ex-
plain the existence of her alleged off

HUMAN ALARM CLOCKS.
(New York Pres

(NeW York Press.)
The alarm clock. apparently so in
dispensahle to the early rising popula-
ton of America, is seldom used bv the
workers of textile mills, iron foundries
and other industries of the North of
England-men and women who have
to arise in time to start t O work at 6
o clock each morning. Instead, being
only III and liable to a fine of an
hours pay if only a few minutes late,
they are aroused by men. many of
whom make their livelihood by that
means. These men. of whom there
are several in each city or town, the
number depending on the size Of the
community, are known as knockers
up And the "knocker up" is more
OF an institution in the North of Eng
land than is the alarm clock among
the early risers of America.
To arouse his sleeping client" the
"knocker up" uses a long pole, to one
end of which are attached a number
of strong wires. Armed with this, the
"knocker UP" makes his round" in
the early morning hours. rafting on
the windows of his clients with the
wires. which make a tremendous din
in the sleeper's room, and, what is
more effective than the alarm clock,
he keeps rafting until the occupant
climbs out of bed and signifies his
w~akefulness by rapping on the win
dow.
The "knocker up would have a
much harder job in America than he
has in England, for there he is favor
by purely local conditions. In the
first place, the houses in the industrial
are closely packed together in
long rows. like the buildings in the
business sections of American cities,
and are very seldom more than two
high. Thus the "knocker up
is able to quickly arouse an entire
of workers. the rattle and roar
of his stick bringing the men and
promptly from their beds. And
his work is expedited by the fact that
many of the sleepers hear him while
he is a dozen houses away, and are out
Of bed and rapping on their windows |
In reply by the time he reaches them. |

CROWN FOR NEW REGENT?
Personal Exercise of Sover-

Munich. Dec. 13.-The demand for an
actual King instead OF the shadow OF a

The Clerical newspapers in close touch

the Liberal newspapers in urging the new
Prince Regent TO assume the crown as
Ludwig III. The change would involve
complicated constitutional alterations,
