HAS 683,775 POOR ENGLAND GIVES $37.5C0,000 YEAR- LY TO PAUPERS. I anoon Rate Is One to Fourteen— Hundreds of Thousands of the Public Charges Live on the Weekly Relief of $1.25. — — London.—Of every 14 persons in London one is a pauper. Of every 20 persons in all England and Wales one is a pauper. This Is the summary of the blue book on poor law relief, issued by the local government board. Of the aggre- gate total relieved, 995,994 persons were members of 305,5g8 families. In- door relief was given to 602,752 Per- sons, end outdoor relief to 1,135,507. Nearly a third of the total of per- sons relieved received assistance dur- ing the year, and 12 per cent. were re- lieved for periods exceeding six months, but less than a year. Hence, says the report, more than two -fifths of the aggregate pauperism of the year was virtually of a permanent character. In other words, Englaed has a stand- ing army of 683,775 paupers, with more than 1,000,000 auxiliaries. The total amount of the pensions this year will be $37,500,000. Fourteen 'tons of silver money was handed out 'in payment of the first installment. Payments are made at the post of- fices. At 4ny of the places lines were waltink long before the windows t, feeble figures pressed tightly those ahead, and dim but eager eyes showed anxious doubt but that after all it might be but a dream too good to come true. A blind woman of 76, led in by a kindly neighbor, was the first arrival BAR TO AEROPLANE FLEET, British Physicist Says Talk of Use of Flying Machines is Unfounded. Llandon.--Lord -Rayleigh made some Interesting remarks with reference to aeroplanes and flying machines at the Royal society. • This great physicist admits that in the technical sense the problem of fly- ing through the air has been solved. ,,but he evidently does not think that the invention will be of much prac- tical use. He does not share the en- thusiasm of the German emperor in anticipating that fleets of aeroplanes will soon be flying through the air. There is a large gulf to bridge, ac- cording to Lord Rayleigh, before flying machines c_an be made available for purposes of teal utility. He does not entertain the idea that communica- tions between different countries will be carried on by air -going ships. He thinks that they may be used for pur- poses of reconnoitering and exploring. but, in the latter case, no exploration on a large scale could he carried out, owing to the difficulty of carrying pro- visions. An aeroplane of enormous size Is only able to carry two or three men, and would be, therefore, unable to take a large quantity of proyialons for fea!'ng them, Babe Bern with a Tooth. Hunt ingt on. Inil -A !though weigh- ing only two rounds at birth, the young child of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kraus*' is healthy and has four de \loped ill It possessed one tooth when it nag beim and in spite of be- ing only two weeks old and not show- ing any signs of growing. it is cutting its teeth with remarkable rapidity. at one of the London offices. They told me I could send some one for it.\ she said, in a high quavering voice, \but I had to come myself.\ Next came a feeble old couple, arra- nt -arm for mutual support. Three shillings and nine pence were handed to each of them. \Here lass,\ said the old man, handing his money to his wife, \you be keeper of it all. Let your purse be fat for once.\ A woman whose certificate indicated 85 years remarked, as her five shillings were handed her: \Thank goodness -- now I can have plum pudding every day!\ The oldest pensioner at Wood Green was Mrs. Rebecca Clark, who is nearly 104. She walked to the nearest post office. A Nottingham pensioner was escort- ed to the post office by his fiancee, who he has promised to marry on the strength of getting a pension. Five shillings ($1.25) a week may - not' seem verx. much to some. But hundreds of thousands of poor people In Britain indicated in hundreds of thousands of quaint sayings and man- nerisms that to them it means a com- fortable competence. / Mingled with the joys of the day were'many sad incidents. The clause in the law which disqualifies for pen- sions all who have received poor re- lief within a year shuts out the most needy. The purpose of the clause is to keep the stigma of pauperism from the pensioners. - But it works out in tragedies. One old miser owning real estate valued at £1,300 drew his pension. .An old widow of one of his tenants, who had within the last year spent all the savings in her husband's sickness and burial, was evicted and forced to apply for poor -law relief, is excluded from the pension list. THE CHURCH OFFICE BUILDING. Skyscraper Edifice Only Remedy for Willarn Penn Land Grant. Pittsburg, Pa. !laving been blocked for many years by a clause placed in his land grant by William Penn, set I ting forth that the property must al ways be used for \church purposes,\ the congregation 'of the First German Evangelical Protestant church of Pitts- burg has evolved a scheme. Tlic con- gregation cannot sell this propery save to another church, and this property has become by fur too valuable for church purposes. So it has been decided to erect on this property, which is at Sixth avenue and Smithfield street, in the heart of the city, an office build. lug which will include a most modern church, the church to be in the center and the office building to rise to the height of 14 stories around about it, taking in a quarter city block. The church -office building or office build sg church, will be one of the most waive. It will cost not less than $1,500,000 and will be devoted to de- partment stores in all save the top or fourteenth floor, %Inch will be a great conventiorehall—something that Pitts- burg has sadly needed for years. The church effect, as seen by the picture, will rise only nine of the 14 stories. There will be a complete set of bell chilies in the steeple which will stand out from the front of the office building. COLLEGE GIRLS ENTER MILLS. Two Bryn Mawr Graduates Labor In Factories of Sixteen Towns. Philadelphia.—That actual knowl- edge might be obtained of conditions In factories and that they might enter Into the daily life of the breadwinners, two graduates of Bryn Mawr college, Miss Fanny 1'. Cochran and Miss Flor- ence 1. Sanville, have found employ- ment in the silk mills in the anthra- cite region of Pennsylvania. In a trip of three weeks the girls visited 16 towns, and when their day's work was 'One went home with the girls with whom they toiled and got glimpses into their social life, and the Influences that surround them. This work was performed in the interest of the child labor bill, which has been prepared at the instance of the Con- sumers' league. \One of the most striking points in the physical tax upon the girls was the matter of seats,\ said Miss Coch- ran. \Several factories provided some sort of stool, bench, or empty box where the girls felt free to rest, but a chair with a back was unknown.\ Miss Cochran and Miss Sanville found shocking sanitary and social conditions, some of which they declare bordered on the immoral. GIGANTIC BATHTUB FOR TAFT. Battleship Will Have Special Plan for Guest's Plunge. New York.—William H. Taft will have the use of the largest bathtub made fa: an individual during his forth- coming voyage - on the battleship North Carolina from Charleston to Colon and back again. It is to be fitted specially for Mr. Taft's comfort, and if she should take a fancy to its pond -like dimensions, tnere is no reason why it should not be traneferred from the North Caro- lina to the White House with other Personal baggage of Mr. Taft's on March 4. In his trip around the world and on other cruises, Mr. Taft became thor- oughly conversant with the size of or- dinary line and warship bathtubs, and passed on to the shower as his solo opportunity for complete ablutions. From Norfolk an order for a bath- tub, Taft size, was sent to New York, with instructions to find one. The tub has been found. It will hold four ordinary men and is the largest ever manufactured. CHILD GETS KING'S LEGACY Bequest of Charles II. in 1651 Is Re- cently Paid in England. London.—The romantic story of a legacy left by Charles II. was told the other day. When fleeing from the battle of Worcester in 1651. Charles, as is well known, was assisted to a hiding place in an oak tree by Farmer Richard Pendrel. Charles granted the farmer's family six perpetual legacies, two of £100 a year and tourof El a week. Nine years ago a London fruit por- ter, Richard Penderel, died, leaving a four -year -old (laughter unprovided for. hEIR TO FORTUNE 18 VAGRANT. - - - Refined and Educated Young Man Sent to Workhouse.

His Pave for a girl His sister, the wife of a London cab- man named Cassin, took the child into her own family, for which it was diffi- cult enough to provide. The'cabinan's wife had heard something of Charles' legacy as a sort of family myth, hut had never regarded it as serious. Pressed by hard times, on seeing a reference to the Penderel legacy in a newspaper, she began to make inquir- ies. Eventually she found her niece was entitled to a pound a week for life, while an accumulation of £200 was awaiting her. The trustees of the legacy were made her niece's guardians and they handed over the 2200 to her. , in San Diego, he says, caused him to ' desert and go there. For this deser- tion, he says, he was arrested and fined $100. After he had been ar- rested several times in Los Angeles, Powell was finally tried on a vagrancy charge and sent to the workhouse. eare- Young Girl Is Shorthand Expert. San Francisco ---Huth Ohlson, a 14 - year -old San Francisco girl. estab- lished the world record for her age for rapid short -hand writing by writing In shorthand before Judge Thomas E Graham. judge of the superior court. 860 words in five minutes and reading the same back correctly. The statu- tory requirements of the courts of this state are 760 words in five minutes. Miss Ohlson's record is phenomenal. as the matter read to and written by her was taken from a transcript of proceedings that the judge produced from the files of his office and was eutirely strange to her. • AWFUL GRAVEL ATTACKS Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills Atte? Years of Suffering. F. A. Hippy, Depot Ave., Gallatin, Tenn., says: \Fifteen years ago kid- ney disease attacked ' me. The pain in my back was so agoniz- ing I finally bad to give up work. Then came terrible attacks of gravel with acute pain and passages - of blood. In all I passed 25 stones, some as large as a bean. Nine years of this ran me down to a state of continual weakness, and I thought I never would be better un- til 1 began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The improvement was rapid, and since using four boxes I am cured and have never had any return of the trouble.\ Sold by all deelers. 50 cents a box. Foster -Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y.

Second Statement \Piled Up the Agony\ on Rival Editor District Attorney Heney of San Francisco, a short time after his wounding, discussed with a reporter at his bedside one of his statements about the San Francisco boodlers. \They expect me to retract that statement, do they?\ he said, grimly. \Well if I did retract it, my retraction would be like the Tombstone editor's. \He you know, printed a story to the effect that a rival editor's father had served 37 years • In jail. Pressure was brought to bear on him, and finally he agreed to retract that statement. In his retraction he said: \'We find that we were mistaken when we said in last week's igsue that the Clarion editor's papa had passed 37 summers in the penitentiary. All ef- forts of friends to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment failed, and the old man, as a matter of fact, Was hung.'\ — - HIS GOOD MONEY THROWN AWAY. Why Old Man Potts Regretted Giving Bull College Education. \Well observed old man Potts, \I've spent a heap of money on my boy Bill's education, more'n $900 jest to see him through Yale. And I ain't through yet. It shorely makes me sore to think of the money I'm wastin' on a boy who ain't got as much sense now as he had before he went to col- lege.\ \What's the matter, father?\ asked Mrs. Potts. \Mebbe you're a little hard on Bill.\ \No I ain't, Mary,\ answered the old man. \Jest to show you—a little while ago I says to him I thinks it was going to rain to -morrow. What fool answer d'ye suppose he made me?\ \I'm sure I don't know, father.\ \He begged my pardon!\—Harpers Weekly. DIDN'T KNOW Coffee Was the Cause. Many daily habits, particularly of eating and drinking, are formed by fol- lowing our elders. In this way ill heakh is often fas- tened upon children. A Ga. lady says: \I had been allowed to drink coffee ever since I could remember, but even as a child I had a weak ptomach, which frequently refused to retain food. \The taste of coffee was in my mouth all the time and was, as I found out later, the cause of the stomach re- belling against food. \I now see that it was only from fol- lowing the example of my elders that I formed and continued the miserable habit of drinking toffee. My digestion remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre- quent headache, and yet I did not sus- pect the true cause. \Another trouble was a bad. ieuddy complexion for which I spent time and money for creams, massaging, etc., without any results. \After I was married I was asked to try Poettim, abd would you believe it. I, an old coffee toper, took to Postuns from the very first. We made it right —according to directions on the pkg.. and it had a most delicate flavor, and at once quit coffee, with the happiest • results. \I now bave a perfectly clear, smooth skin, fine digestion and haven't had a headache in over two years.\ \There's a Reason.\ Name given h.
