It appears that on a certain occasion

Everything went well until“ Mutton”
began to frisk and gambol like a

fell overboard. Lord Rosebery shout

but ‘.the latter refused, saying he
couldn’t stop for anything lees than a

joined the dog, and the skipper was

Judge Hines will not meet Col"

THE HUSTLER OF ROME, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 20 1894
THE MEXICAN EXAMPLE
The Two Republics, of the City
of Mexico, says:
“During the first six months of
the present fiscal year more than
300,000 persons i lept in the public
dormitory m the city, or to be more
correct, the number of lodging.-
furnished during that period
amount to more than 300,000.
To be sure it may lie taken for
granted that many persons slept
there many timesand some persons
slept there probably every night.
But even under these circumstances
the number seems very large. In
stitutions of this kind are not es"
tablished for the benefit of habit
ual beggars or tramps, and it would
be better for the managers to have
those who make a habit of sleeping
there every night arrested and sent
to asylums or institutions where
they can be given work during the
day.
If this be done there will surely
be less begging, and possibly less
stealing, done on the streets.”
If pauperism were as prevalent
in Georgia the police stations of
Atlanta would be called upon to
provide lodgings for about 150,000
homeless people a year.
Yet the Atlanta Constitution has
during recent months frequently
held up Mexican finance as an ob
ject for American admiration. W e
have been told by it that the silver
monetary system of Mexico afford 9
encouragement to Mexican indus
try and thereby enriches the coun
try. f
We would like to know who gets
‘i:e increased wealth when in the
capital city 600,000 homeless peo
ple apply in a year to the public
authorities for shelter. Is it possi
ble that the panic struck Mexico,
too, in spite of the fact that there
is not a gold dollar in circulation in
the country and the coinage of sil
ver is unlimited?
The theory that the remains of an
imals form tne raw material from
which petroleum is formed by na
ture is still held by snme prominent
scientists. Must have been skunks
