visiting New York City for the first
time and even many who have visited
the city on several occasions, do not,
as a rule, realize that the importance
OF New York is not altogether dee to
it's enormous population, the great
ness OF its financial and commercial
business and to its favorable geo.
hgraphical location as a sea port, but
that the city Is also a great manufac.
turing centre, In fact, the greatest in
the world.
Statistics just given out by the
Federal Census bureau show that the
aggregate value OF the products man
ufactured in New York City during
the year 1909 reached the staggering

years there were t~wenty.One indust-
ries in the city, each having an an
neal octput OF products valued at
more than $50, 1000, 900. First in i'm
portance among the industries Of the
city Is the manufacture Of mems and
women's clothing. The 5,521 estab.
lishments engaged in that manufac-
ture n 1909, gave employment to
about 161.4OO wage earners and pro-
duced gods valued at $4S4,So8 1000.
The printing and publishing indust-
ny was next In importance, with 1883

The Chinese arc undoubtedly max
ing rapid strides toward civilization
in a western sense. There was q time,
not 80 very long ago, when the Chi
nese Tong men in New York City, In
their bloody feuds considered batchets
as the only approved weapon for man
ufacturing ancestors. After a while
they became Americanized and the
revolver became their favOrite weap.
on of execution. The revolver period
lasted several years, but It seems that
the regime Of the bulldog" IL ap.
preaching its end 81 far as China
town Is concerned. The Chinese
have taken another step forward and
have advanced to the most up-to-date
method Of using time bombs t1 their
warfare. The first OF It's kind ever
used by the Chinese Tong men In this
city was exploded the other day In
one Of their temples, but it went Oh
prematurely and nobody was killed.
The Chinese learn quickly and It q
safe to predict that the next bomb
will be better timed.
!; A Jewish woman came to one
OF the police stations Of the lower
East side the other day in q great
state of excitement and informed the
lieutenant in charge that he boy was
lost or had been abducted. Crying
g~esticulatipg she begged that q gener.
Ut alarm be sent OF for her boy. Inc
lieutenant was sympathetic and ask
ed the frantic mother for a descrip.
ton of the boy. He nearly collapsed
when the woman informed him that
the "boy" was s feet 10 inches tall
and weighed 1856 pounds.
William Hammerstein Is proving
himself indeed a chip of the old
block" He has shown himself quite
as resourceful as his father and quite
as skillful in inventing advertising
lodges. The patrons of the Victoria
Theatre roofgarden seem to be q
trifle careless with their money and
after every performance the employees
cleaning up pick up several dollars
in change, carelessly dropped by pa
irons. With quite remarkable honesty
the sweepers invariably turned over
the money found by them to MI. Ham
merstein, who held the money In case
1t should be claimed. OF course NJ
body came to claim 1t and gradually
