LONDON AND NEW YORK

London private charities have an
income of $50,000,000 year. Poor
law relief, or public charity, cost $780,
100000 in 1910, 1911. The 61,137 old.
age pensioners of the general govern
n Mt are 20. counted IN this total,
there are 100000 paupers by legal
definition, there were $4,000 poor-law
children, half of whom will be rescued
from that state.
These facts, from the latest big
volume of statistics issued by the
London county council, present the
most striking differensce between
London and New York With popu-
lation about 100000 more than Lon
don's, New York spends less than
half as much on public charities of
all kinds. It's charities department
spends only one-fifth as much.
The birth rate of Berlin fell from
asa in 1876 to 20.4 in 1912; that of
London from 36.5 in 1867 to 24.5 in
1912. The New York birth rate runs
about &c.
The purchasing power of money in
London has fallen 1919 per cent.
since 1900. Wages have risen not
quite so much.
New York is a city preponderantly
of the foreign-born and those of for
eign parentage. London is English,
1t had in 1912 only $4,000 foreigners
1910 Russians, 27,290 Germans,
1893 Frenchmen, 11,66S Italians,
$3.50 Austrians.
Half of London's adult males have
the vote; per cent, of adult females
vote on county council. Neglect to
vote is more prevalent than in New
York. In 1910, "a per cent. of quail
fed voters voted on parliament; in
1913, upon county council, only so
per cent; for guardians election,
1910, only 21 per cent.
London has ninety-nine public
swimming baths and 6,241 acres of
park inside the county and twice as
much outside. New York City has
1880 acres of parks, besides parkways
and small squares. It's outside needs
are provided by state parks of some
100000.

A party composed of Messrs. H. A.

big Oakland touring car from Lin
coin, Ala. These gentlemen started
from Lincoln on November 18th, COM

Oak, Lake City and on to Ocala. The
party, accompanied by County Com
missioner Jos. w. Davis, paid this Of
flee an appreciated call, and informed
US that all but one in the party in
tended to locate in or near Ocala.
Speaking of the fair at Live Oak
they said that the town was so full
of visitors that it was impossible to
get hotel accommodations, and that
they had to double up on a bed on
the floor, but that they thoroughly
enjoyed their visit to that city.
They all seem favorably impressed
with what they have seen of our coun-
ty, especially our good roads, and
Mr.. Davis stated that he later in
tended to show them the real at
tractions-our high hills, splendid
farms, beautiful lakes, springs and
rivers-so that when they write
back home it will be only another
advertisement of Marion county's
splendid resources and possibilities.
We extend most cordial welcome
to these gentlemen.

tie Rock Chancery District, died at
the home OF her mother, Mrs. Bama
M. Holcombe, 800 West Fifth avenue.
yesterday morning at 1890 o'clock,
after an illness which extended
through several months. Her death
was not wholly unexpected. for her
condition had been critical for two
Or three weeks and the attending
physicians had not given the family
any encouragement as to her recov
cry. All of her relatives including,
a sister from Washington, D. c., were
at The bedside when the end came.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock from the Hol

Mrs. Martineau was a daughter OF
the late DR.. J. NJ. Holcombe, who was
at one time one of the most promi-
nent physicians of the state. She was
a young woman Of many charming
traits and was considered woman
of unusual brilliance. Before her
marriage she was one of the most
popular of Pine Bluff society girls,
and although she lived In Little
| Rock but a few years, she had num-
bers of friends and admirers in social
circles there, and news of her death
| will be learned with regret in this
and other states where she was
| known and beloved.
Everything was done by medical
experts to relieve her suffering dur
| ing her illness, but she gradually
grew worse and the end came on yes
terday morning, after the physicians
had exerted every scientific effort
known to the medical fraternity to
prolong her life. Several months ago
when her condition did not improve,
| Judge Martineau accompanied his
wife to Texas, but she showed no
! Improvement and physicians finally
advised him to return to Arkansas
with her.
