Capt T J Hoover Visits The Bowery, Columbia Universi tv, Brooklin Bridge and Covey Island.. The Bowery, the "ghetto," or Jewish quarter, the Libinese settle ment, are all intensely interesting to nsit and guides can be had for a reasonable sum, who will explain every thing in these places. It in this section, that one may see exactly bow the foreign element, who flock to our shores live.. Indeed some of them do not live in the strict sense of .the word, they simply exist in these crowded tenemen houses, Think of twelve or four teen persons herded together in two small rooms. This is no exagera- tion but actual fact, still. 1 am told that all through the lower "east" side, conditions are being constantly bettered, through the instigation 01 home missionaries, the Salvation Army, aided and abet ted by the health authorities, and wealthy persons charitably inclined. Indeed a few years ago for example riieti-inf Uiwn as lPivA Pninta " was famous as the home of crime. It was not safe for a respectable person to walk thror'gh' its streets in day-time, without police protc tion. But church influence made an invasion, and the civil authorities closed many of the dives, and to day there is a cleanly neighborhood, with a prosperous mission church, and respectable ceoule livinir within its precints. The famous "bowery or street of cheap stores, ill-fumed lodging houses, low-class amuse ments, and resorts of all the "tough" characters, is fast loosing much of its evil taint, but of course in a oity of such size and mixed popula tion, crime will always be tampan to a greater or less extent, and pov erty with its crushing hand, will continue to smother alt that is best and good in thore who allow them selves to be borne down by it. In contradistinction to these scenes, are the homes of the rich the millionaires, and multi-mulion- aires of New York's finauical and commercial world. These are scat tered np-town and are veritable pal aces. Indeed I could not attempt a description of them if I would, but it seems to me that the actual home life cannot be really there in its truest sense, only great piles of costly marble and stone, simply for show to arouse envy, and hatred, very often, in the breasts of those less fortunate. Many of the prom inent men and women of the stage have homes in New York, also. Flat and apartment life is all that is left to the man of moderate means and hence we find of late years many people who are earning their living in New York, residing in Brooklyn and the near Ly towns in New Jersey. In these places they may secure an entire house to themselves at a nom inal Qgnre, and not be crowded in to three or four small rooms, at an enormous rental, where there is no room either for children or pets. At the upper end of town we find Central Park, New York's pleasure ground. It is prettily laid out in walks and drives, and here is situated the great Metropolitan Mu seum of Art, which contains some of the nuest paintings and sculptures in the country. Un a hill overlook ing the Hudson river, and the fa mous rock formations known as the Pallisadea. faced hv a beautiful road called "Riverside Drive" stands the tomb of Qen U S Grant. It is quite a large building, circular in shape, containing an interior gallery, and a crypt. In the latter place in a gran- tn sarcophagus, rests the cotun con taining the remains of the illustrious soldier and statesman. It is a beau tiful memorial, in a beautiful loca tion, and impresses all who see it The Columbia Universitv,a hotel which cost over $12,000,000, the home of that noble and estimable woman. Miss Helen M Gould: the building in which the first elevator in the world was operated, a block bouse used during the .Revolution ary War, and the largest apartment house in the world, are also to be seen on an np-town trip. In the afternoon we took the train to Coney Islaad. This is the greatest of all amusement places that I nave ever seen. VI the hun dred of things to catch the eye and money of the visitor, 1 will say nothing, but the place saemed to be the great outlet for the New Yorker's nerve force, and the freedom from restraint, aud the utter looseness of morals there make it a "stamping" ground for thousands, during the warm weather. It is pleasant tup by boat alas, I am . told, but we could not go that way on account of the weather. To walk over the great Brooklyn bridge, is quite a journey and yet is it something the visitor in New xork should not miss. This great connect ing link between New York and Brooklyn, is made of steel cables and hollow steel tubes, and is a fine piece of bridge building. Thousands of persons pass over it eacn aav, either by car line, other mode of conveyance, or walking. When one is in the center, at the highest point, one can distinctly feel the vibration. It is high enough above high tide, to allow of ships pas ing beneath it. Morning and evening are the rata hours on the bridge, aod then the cars block. and the people jam, and for a while it seems a though order never would come oat of toe chaos but the tan ! le eventually unwinds and steady ) traffic is resamed in an hour or twn, I Not content with bridging the the rivers, latter-day progress, must neeJs travel beneath them, and a great work is now in process of con struction, far below the bed of the river. This is an immense steel tunnel built to carry the sub-way cars, and relieve the congestion of the bridge. It is a most wonder ful piece of engineering, aud the workmen who are capable of doing the work, receive very high wages, and can only remain down a lew hours at a time, fhey breathe compressed air, aud work in a sort of drum or compartment, each piece being finished before moving to a new section. On a small island, owned by the Government, at the entrance to New York harbor, stands the heroic sized figure of a woxan, holding aloft a torch. It is an emblem of "Liberty en lightening the World", was made in France, by the great sculptor Bar tholdi, and was the gift of the French people to the United States. It is1 seen the first thing by vessels entering port, and is a inagnmcan work of art. The "gateway of the Nation", is Ellis Island, and here under the rig id eyes of the Government inspectors, arrive daily hundreds of emigrants from all parts of the world. If they are found self supporting, or have frieuds waiting and can show that they will not become publio charges, they are allowed to go on their way rejoicing. But if obliged to wait over for a hearing, they are well cared fer at Uncle Sam 8 expense. I be big ocean liners lying at their docks, makes one think of taking a trip across the "pond , but as our time was growing short, we content ed ourselves catching a train for rnuaueipuia, instead, wnere we ar rived late in the evening, tired, but conscious of time well spent. Uf our stay in that city, and re turn trip to Washington I will tell you next week. T J Hoover. Mr Lambeth Appointed Secretary.

Salisbury, Nov. 20 The census of Salisbury, which is now bein;; taken by individual canvassers for the city's -new directory, shows a phenomenal increase in population. The count of government in 1900 gave Salisbury less than 7,000 This of coure, means the corporate popu lation. But if the ratio of growth continues that discovered in the first half, there will be more than 12,000 within the city limits, and and fully 17,000 with the suburbs. And when Salisbury and Spencer be come one as they now are in spirit the two will have 25,000 or more. There never has been such a growth as is seen here daily.

As a rule we don't :se or refer to testimonials hi addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec tion wHth Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself.

Some people violate certain laws of our land because they are Ig norant of the existence of such laws. others violate them because it opens acBanuei tnrougn wnicn they can make money, To understand the volumes of law now embodied aifoui statute books thoroughly requires nothing short ot a good lawyer, yet there are certain important laws that every one should understand and obey. lhe nnportortance of law restrict ing the sale of cigarettes and the material from which they are manu factured should be self-evident to those who have observed the ewl effects resulting from the habitual smoking of these useless health destroyers, a great many merchants, however, seem to be either ignorant of the cigarette law or they wantonly disregard it. When a boy under seventeen years of age is seen puffing t cigarette, it is prima facie evi lence that somebody has violated one of the most important laws we have "n our statute books. Fur the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the law re- trie ting the ale of cigarettes aud material for their manufacture, we publish the law in full, trusting that it will not onlv be un accom modation to dealers hut result in a blessing to at least the boys of our country. I he law reads as follows: It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to sell or give away or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, cigarettes or tobacco in the form of cigarettes, or cut tobacco iu any form or shape wnicn may ne used or intended to be used as a substitute for cigarettes to any minor under theageof seven teen years, and any one violating the provision of this act, or any persons uiding, assisting or ulx'tting the violations thereof, shall he guilty of a misdemeanor, ami upon conviction shall be punished by fine or imprisonment in the discretion of the court. Any person who shall or may aid or assist any such minor cn'iu in obtaining the pos session uf cigarettes or tobacco in any form used as a substitute there of, by whatsoever name it may be called, shall lie guilty of a mis demeanor, and upou conviction shall be lined and imprisoned in the dis cretion of the court."

In 828 Egbert, a direct descendant of Cerdie, the first chief of the country, laid claim to the throne and from him as a royal source every subsequent English sovereign except, the four Danish Kings, Harold 11 and William thcConquer or have descended, directly or indi rectly, down to the present time. Just as the strong hand of Egbert was needed to restrain the ravages of the Danes, he died, and his son, Ethel wolf, a weak and inedicient prince was -chosen to succeed him, who soon began bestowing a greut por tion of the kingdom upon his son, Athelston, and himself depa! ted on a pilgrimage to Rome. Another of his sons Ethelbold, joined a party desirous of excluding his father from tne tnrone ami civil war might have resulted bad not Ethel- wolf consented to a division of his kingdom with his son. Upon the death of Ethel wolf, his third son, Ethelbert, was chosen to a share in the kingdom. His name goes down iu history as the first Christian king in England, and it was during his reign that the people first en joyed a written code of laws. After a reign ot a short period productive of honor to himself and a blessing to his kingdom, a still younger brother succeeded to his place, who soon fell a victim to the Daues after which, the Good King Alfred, an other son of Ethelwolf's was called to the throne. Of him, too much of praise, both as a sovereign and individuil, cannot be said. Rightly was he called 'Alfred the Great, since he was the embodiment ot whatever was best and bravest in the English character. He came to the throne in 871 wheu the Danes were sweeping down on the country, but he brought them into subjection and forced their leader to sign a treaty of peace, however, he had to combat them again as they made frequent attacks upon the coast, bttt he constructed a superior class ot fast sailing war vessels, from designs made by himself, and with this fleet, which may be regarded as the beginning of the English navy, he effectually checked a series of in vasions, which had they continued, might have reduced the country to primitive barbarism. Considered as a whole, Alfred's reign is the most note-worthy of any in annals of the early English sov eriegns, leiug markecljthroughout by intelligence and progress. He hud fought rifty-s-'x battles by land and sea and had excelled most sovereigns in his labors as lawgiver aud judge, yet he found time to acquire more learning and even ti write mere books than most men of tinin tempt ed leisure. His moral greatness was first proved in jonqtiests over him self, in tempering justice with gen tleness, and histoty record -t no mere ly human character mote ii"iir per fection than Alfred the Great. Hume says: "The merit of this firince, both iu private and public ife may, with advantage, be eet in opposition to that of any monarch or citizen, which the anuals of any age, or auy nation can present to us. lie seems indeed to be the complete model of that perfect character, which under the denomination of a sage or wise man, the philosophers have been fond of delineating, rath er as a fiction of their imagination, than in hopes of ever seeing it re duced to practice; so happily were all bis virtues tempered together; so justly were they blended; and so powerfully did each prevent the oth er from exceeding its proper bounds. He knew bow- to conciliate the most enterprising spirit with the coolest moderati'i.i, the m 'st obsti nate perseverance, with the easiest flexibility; the most severe justice, with the greatest unity; the greatest vigour in command with the great est affability of deportment; the highest capacity and inclination for science, with the most shining talents for action. Nature also, as if desirous that so bright a pro duction of her skill should be set iu the fairest light, had bestowed on him all bodily accomplishment, vigour of limbs, diguity of hape and air, and a pleasant, engaging and open countenance. By living in that barbarius age, he was de prived of historians worthy to trans m t bis fame to posterity; and we winh to see him delineated iu more live v colors; and with more par- ticn ;r s rokes that we miirht at Ayefs We know what all good doc tors think of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

ATI Hard Coughs On of Am"b Pill at Bdttm wilt least perceive some of those small specks and blemishes, from which as a man it is impossible he could have been entirely exempted. Now we catch a glimpse of the third son of this great king, Ed wurd, or Edward the Elder who is recorded by some historians as being the first to assume the title King of the fiOglish, the former kings per haps not having control of the en tire kingdom. Edward's son, Athelstou, was one of the greatest Saxon kings, then came Edmund, ard at his death the throne was occupied by his brother, his two sons being too young, but at the age of sixteen he took the throne only to reign a short period, it be ing taken lrom him and given to bis younger brother; lie was suc ceeded by bis eldest son, Edward II or the Martyr, but the enmity of his step-mother brought him to a violent death, aud hei son, tthel red was then crowned. His reign of thirty eight years brought little but trouble to hansel t or his people, and finally resulted in the throne being taken from the S-ixons for a time and being ruled by feweyn, king of Denmark. At his death, bis son, Canute disputed ths posses sion of the crown with Edmund II, better know as Edmund Ironside, E'helred s oldest son, and finally secured the murder of the Saxon prince and became king of all Eng land. Harold 1 succeeded bis lath er and next came Hardiconute, who was a drunken wretch and did nothi ng during his reign worthy of men tion. Upon his death-bed his half brother, Edward III, the only sur viving son of Ethelred and Emma, came to the throue. He bad been educated in France and was more devoted to that country than the one over which he presided and most of the high places in court and church were given to Normans. At his death Harold II ruled only a few months, he being slain in the battle of Hastings, and William the Conqueror ascending the throne, though the crown rightly belonged to Edgar Atheling, grandson of Ed mund 11. From him came the oth er three Norman kings, William II, Henry 1 and Stephen. Space will not permit a thorough account of this period, but it may be said of the Conqueror, he was a stern, but just ruler and his conquest over the English may he considered a victory wou for advantage by a branch of their own racs, rather than subjec tion by a different one. At the death of Stephen the throne went to Henry II, son of Matilda, daughter of Henry I, which was the establishment of the house of Arjou or Plantagenet. He was hailed with enthusiasm by the native English being a descend ant of Alfred the Great on his mother's side. It was during his reign that such strife existed be tween state and church which finally resulted in the murder of Becket Archbishop, of Canterbury, but his reign may not be teimed an unsuc cessful one. He established a stable government and made all men feel that a king sat ou the throne who believed in justice and was able to make justice respected. The cen tral fact in the reign of Richard I or Coem de Lion so called becaase of his bravery, was his embarking in the crusades. England gained two important results from this. First, a greater degree of political liberty; second, a new intellectual aud educational impulse. A broth er of his, John, fell heir to the throne at his deuth, but his reign was not a successful one and he was finally excommunicated. John s eldest son, Henry 111 was crowned at the age of uine. The best description of his long and fee ble reign might well be judged from the historians motto of England at thut time, "Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child." In his son, Edward, England bad a better sovereign. Wales and Scotland were conquered, and V ales remained permanently apart of the English kingdom, hut lie too plated a stain upon this peri.-i. in his cruel and unjust expulsion of the Jews. Kdward II was the opposite o his father, a weak aud trifling youth who was the first of the English Kings to be deposed, and whose crown was given to Ins 14 year old who was considered more ca pa'-leof governing. Until Edward III I came of age, the government was nominally in the hands of a council. He proved himself a sue cessfnl sovereign. His reign ii dirxtly mnected with the use of nourishin commerce with the con tinent, the hegiuiiiiig of r.uglisnlit eratu e, the first work in English pioso being written and uilliam Laiiglmid was writing itid verses about his vision of "Piers the Plow man." John Wycliffeand Chaucer al so came into notice but appeared more prominently in the next reign The most note worthy political events were, the acknowledgement of the independence of Scotland and the rupture of Calais, which gave an opeu door-way into trance, But Few Are Free.
