The absence of a piot or "cowcatcher , " as
S I Is sometimes called , makes the English

As the smoke ot London began to grow
dIm In the dietance a beautiful panorama of
fleid . and farina opened up before us. As
far as the eye ccuM reach , on eIther sIde ,
were roiling leallows and hrawn fields . dotted
with thatch roofed stacks. I the speed
slackened ns we ascended a long "bank"
these rural Illctures claimed my attention

wer at time front ot the Paris express But ,
when we had reached the summit , and the

The trains here , as In Grct BrItain , are

The engine men wore no gloves and handle

blame him for smoking cigarettes-it was
the "wheol" no doubt that drove him to it.

out. There I saw what I hll never seen be-

they appeared to have the staten Iluie to

another train flying across the country" , al-
ways crossing ellher above or below our
track Out In time fields are other engines.
great awkward machines pulling plows and
sometImes trains of wagons through village
streets. At the end of a long curve , or1und
which we swing at a mile a minute rise the
great spires or the cathedral of Canterbury.
But there Is no Iliac to dreaum 'for we are
now whirling away toward the water edge.
At last the driver shuts oft ateam , the stoker
washes the deck wIth a water hese connectEd
with the Injector pipe , and remarks that hIs
work fs done . Ills labor , like his salary , Is
light . for although we have been on the road
nearly two hours he has not burned I half

and that make light work for the engIne
men. I Is all dow hi now , and we fairly
fall through the tunnels and deep cuts till

ABOARD TIE VICTORIA.
Many things bear the name of "the widow
\Vlrmmlsor . " and I was not surprised to
ftl time "Victoria" rocking restlessly by the
doele nt Dover
I Is surprising to an American to see how
quickly fourteen Englsh carriages can be
emptied . I should sly that In two minutes
from the Illume our train stopped wo were all
aboar In eight minutes time baggage was
transferred from the train to the boat and In
ten milutes we were leaving time dock.
Time channel has not the reputation or being
partcularly paclOc and this was one or her
busy days. In ten minutes after the whistle
sounded the "Victoria" was capering out
towards the coast or France just as un un-
tamed broncho capers with a cowboy across
a corral. To the disgrace of the Lommdon
Chatham & Dover Railway company , she Is
a side wheeler. Except the reversing wheel
and the seatess cab or the 17 , this Is thy
only disgraceful thing I toulll on the Dover
route.
In simile or time rough sea we male the run
from Dover to Calais , twenty-five mies , In a
few minutes over an hour.

exIsting evils wIll be"done away with.
S STAlTLI G CONDITION.
A condItion of start'ng hnllort which this
commIttee has discovered , but concerning
which It hs but little to say ; lies In the
presence among iho nements of Immoral
women. During the last year and a halt the
police raIds . nsplrel by Pr Parkhurst have
closed most , or the resorts hItherto devoted
exclusively to the-residence . of that class.
But these people hal .not' b en driven from
the city. Thy' lidv : heen scattered among '
the Oats 'nnd tenement souse . Where In the
past they were concentrated In groups under
single roofs , which sheltered no one not of
their kInd , they now occupy by ones amid
twos apartments In . the great tenement
buidings , of which the.y must to some exlent
become n part or the routno daily life.
Thus , while In the past they separated themselves - ,
selves as far as might be from those who dId
not seek their society , today they are forced
by time very powers supposed to regulate
their doings , Into contact with not only
hundreds of respectable people who have no
desire to meet them , but with unnumbered
thousands of Ignorant and Impressionable
children upon whose minds the comparative
luxury that comes from evil lives cannot
well fail to have dangerous elect This con-
diion opens again ono or the vastest
problems with which cIvilization has to deal ,
and I Is not surprising that time commitee ,
hampered by hack of time. confined Itself to
time statement of the condition . I Is true ,
however , that the results of this Investgaton
show all too plainly that serious thought and
active effort must be dIrected along this
hue. .
Another amazing discovery which thIs com-
mitee made concerns ( the lack of breathing
spots In the metropolis . New York has been
supposed to b fairly sell supplied with
pars. ! The report of the commlteo shows ,
Imowcver that In a tlitrict or lImo cast side
a population as numerous as the total populu-
ton ( or San Francisco Is entirely witimout

lhat this Is true Dr other

Study of tIme school "

&xtraordlnary timIngs. In the first place It revealed -
vealed the gratifying tact that 'tho probiem

and Investigation carried on by the sociological -
cal department or Cplumbla college under the

Portion of children of school age at work In
factories amid other places Is almost InOnlos-
eimnmtl . TIme number or children below the
schoot age at work for recognized employers
I not worth notIcing . This Is most gratify-
Ing. Another side of time story , however , was
told by Dr. Annie S. Daniel , whd Is tho' tene-

PHOPOSlm PUBLIC BAThS
Another immense advance likely to grow
out of tlmis commIttee's work will he tIme introduction -

distilcts ot New York , In many European
uroJean

5,000 worst houses reported by the com-
mittee's examiners range from 30,000 O'er-
mans down to 310 Chinese and four American
Indians , covering itlmitThyery Intermediate
nationality. In framing legislation which will
regulate the lives of alt these people It be-
comes necessary to consider all their national
characteristics. I must be 'remembered that
the Irishman will drink whlsllY alil shlrll
his work when he Is irunle , Hint time Oerman
will shipefy blms rvlh beer , but that 01
the .othcr handhe Is.a good husband and
his wife Is the best 'of mothers ; that time
Ialan will run hIs death rate up to the
highest In the city by devouring decayed
fruit and vegetmibies and that he wi drink
hard and that thp drll kwl kill him where
It will only weaken iliother man ; that the
Jew will live lnuntohtl squalor and that
h cause or the low wages which he receives
ho wi 'crowd his homo with lodgers , no
mater how tiny I may bo or how many
members' 'there may be In his hnmetlate
tamlY , but that because of his mnrvelous
physical vitality , his observance of the
Mosaic law In the preparation and selection
ot his tool and his disinclination toward
dlslpaton In : lyway , his death rte will be
the lolvest In New Yorle.

All these thIngs have their influences anti
all must be considered The peculiarities of
the Irish quarter are mall drunkenness and
wlfo beating ; the peculiarities of time Italian
QI.arter . are gambling , drunkenness , deadly
fights with knives and child labor : the
pecularites of the negro quarter are petty
gambling , either extreme filth or extreme
cleanlness , the lowest forms of debaucher
where debauchery exists at all , prompt pay-
mont of rent , Intermitent , employment and
Invariable good nature : the peculiarities of
time German quarter are moderate cleanliness ,
steady drlnldng rather than drunkenness , the
best family life that can exist In the tenement -
mont , a low average or general Inteligenco
( Ilue doubtless to the Influence or beer ) ,
thrift , regular employment and great fellow
feeling ; the peculiarities or the Jewish
quarter are squalil rooms amid clean food ,

complete sobriety ali a general abstinence
