Some Gossip Gathered From

The Gay American Metropolis

New York. Dec. 24. Every large city has some particularly crowded district but few people outside of New York have a clear conception of the enormous congestion existing in the lower east side district of Manhattan. A few figures, prepared by a care statistician, may be of interest in this connection. The most congested part of New York City is that bounded by the East River, Peck Slip. Fourteenth street, along Ferry to Pearl, to Center, to Marion, to Prince, to Mulberry, to Bleeker, to the Bowery to Third avenue, and back to the East River. The area of that district is 1,092 acres, 970 acres of which is residential. The pop ulation of that district is estimated at present at about 654,300 people, which is 100,000 more than the combined populations of Delaware, Nevada, Arizona and Alaska. If the whole city were as densely populated as that district, which forms but one half of one per cent of the area of Greater New York, New York would have a popu lation of 130,873,600 souls, nearly 30,000,000 more than the entire population of the United States and Its possessions in the Philippines, 1 Samoa, Guam, Hawaii and Alaska. During the five years from 1900 to 1905 this district of the east side received more than one-fourth of Manhattan's total Increase in population and the rate of ncrease is practically maintained year after year. Mayor Gaynor, who has established quite a reputation for himself by- his aggressive methods of administration and his efforts to introduce much needed reforms In the management of the city's affairs. Is nothing if not original and unconventional in his methods. As a letter writer he Is unique, among tbe many mayors New York has had during the many years NEGRO RAN AMUCK SHOOTING PISTOL Rochester, N. Y.Dec. 24. Charles Bennett, a negro, ran amuck at Dundec. N. Y., today, shooting Constable J. D. Close to death, attacking the wife of a hotel proprietor and then trying to commit suicide. Bennett was Intoxicated. He staggered through Main street firing his revolver. He forced his way Into the Beekman hotel and attacked Mrs. Beekman,' wife of the owner. Constable Close started to arrest Bennett, who had gone to the Morison hotel. There the negro broke down a door and when the officer arrived he shot him. Bennett, who was locked up, tried to hang himself in his cell. Mrs. Helen M. Wixen, who has teen elected state superintendent of public instruction in Colorado, is said to owe her election to the non-partisian vote of the women. Though the Democrats swept the state Mrs. Wixsen, who was nominated by the Republicans, received a large majority women without regard for party lines voting for her. - "THIS DATE

of its existence. His letters and he

is not stingy with them are quite numerous, brief and strictly to the point. Having been a member of the bench for many years, and possessing a thorough knowledge of the laws, he is in a position to speak with authority where legal questions are involved. A few days ago he addressed a rather pointed letter to the board of alder men, calling their attention to the fact that they had the power under the law to expel unworthy members. He did ask the board to exercise that power in any particular case, but the hint is sufficiently strong to be under stood. To a citizen who had written a letter to him, complaining of lack of heat In the street cars, Mayor Gaynor answered that walking is an excellent exercise to Improve the circulation and sweeten a grouchy disposition. To a district improvement association, urging the construction of certain subway lines and demanding it in fulfillment of what they considered a preelection promise, the mayor answered that their letter was arrogant, and the statement that he had made any promises In that direction before the election an unmitigated falsehood. New York has another mystery. A live and perfectly good policeman in full uniform and of good standing, a man more than six feet tall and built in good proportion, has vanished and after several days search not a trace of him has been found. Other people have vanished from New York before this, but never a policeman in full uni form. What makes the case even more mysterious is the fact that the officer of the law disappeared on the way from a saloon to his home, a distance of but only a few hundred feet, and that he was perfectly sober and without any serious cause for worry. THREE NEWSBOYS GREET PRESIDENT (American News Service) Washington. Dec. 24. Three little newsboys, the eldest seven years old, held up a long line of senators and diplomats today while President Taft received them, and bid them a merry Christmas and happy New Year. They were David, Israel and Sammy Aprill, and their chief task is to keep .the White House newspaper files up to date. David plucked up courage to ask the President to box with him and the latter took the matter under advisement ARMS SECURED BY MEXICAN REBELS (American News Service) Ciudad Juarez, Mex., Dec. 24. Bands of revolutionists have appear ed near here. They held up a train today and took a quantity of arms and ammunition from the express car but paid the train authorities for the supplies.

Heart to Heart

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyr&M. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye ACTIVE AT EIGHT-NINE. In tbe presence of surgeons from all over the country Dr. D. D. Martin of Tulaa, Okla, recently performed an operation In clinic. Dr. Martia Is eighty-nine years old. And the report says his eye was as sure and his hand as steady as when be set broken bones sixty years ago. When Dr. Martin began practicing medicine sixty-nine years ago antiseptic surgery waa unknown. People died from wounds that would be considered trifling now. The wounds had to light It out alone. The old doctor aays he remembers when "bleeding was a specific for all the ilia of flesh." and think of it "Consumptives were kept .where no draft of air could possibly reach them!" In that day If you wanted a phy sician you did not get him by tele phone. Some one went for him on a horse. And he did not come in his automobile, but In his "sulky" or horse back, and If you lived in the country he was a long time coming. If the injury waa a gunshot wound he would probe or cut down to it. There was no X ray to locate tbe bullet And If the disease was diphtheria there was no antitoxin to keep the pa tient from choking to death. What a transformation in tbe life of one man; And this change and betterment have come about because of the quiet ex periment of the physician and tbe patient ton of the man in the laboratory. Certainly tbe race owes a large debt of gratitude to tbe physician and the man of science. Because When the mechanical Inventor mak" a useful discovery he gets a patent for It and charges a royalty for its use. When the physician or scientist makes a useful discovery he gives it freely to the race without patent or fee. And because of that untold suffering has been aaved and years have been Added to the average of human life. But what of old Dr. Martin? How has ba managed to keep a clear eye and a steady nerve at eighty-nine? He fays ha attributes' his fine health o good cars of his body, a desire to help humanity and, moat of all, to bis activity. "Most men," lay Dr. Martin, "rust out rather than wear out" He says be will be active as long as his legs will carry his body. He wants to help people. Grand old man! And wonderful half century of achievement! Argentina's government spends as much on education as on its army and navy combined. Piloo! Pilos! Piles!
