Thar la Plenty of Poverty
Crime and Ignorance.
New York, Nov. 11 In pursuit of
their dealre to assist tbe poor and up
lift the depraved, Robert Hunter and
his wife, the daughter of tbe multi
millionaire Anson Phelps Stokes, have
forsaken their country residence In
Noroton, Conn, and their mansion in
Madison avenue, for a small brick
house in Grove street, on the lower
west side. Both have devoted several
years to work In the slums and were
married two years ago while Mr. Hun
ter, formerly of Chicago, was In charge
of the University settlement
The decision to settle In Grove street
was made after long atudy of the con
ditions In the lowly quarters of the
city. J
Doth Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have in
timate knowledge of the east side and
for a long time they were inclined to
moke their home there. But their in
vestigations led them west of Wash
ington square and In and around Mln-
etta lane they found the best demand
for the work they bad In mind.
For more than two generations this
section has been looked upon aa one of
the blots on the city. The place never
Is without a patrolman, one being de
tailed especially for duty In the street,
little more than S00 yards In length.
Formerly the lane was the center of
the red light district, but since the
movement up town the red lights have
disappeared, and In their stead have
come filthy houses. In the last couple
of years tenement houses of the ac
cepted east side model have begun to
replace the low. old fashioned brick
structures, and this has made more
preening the demand for the Judicious
settlement work. The mission work
era say the district Is now In more
need of attention from the charitable
and the sympathetic rich than any
other quarter In Manhattan.
CLIPPINGS.
An Orchestra of Murderers.
At the French penal colony, Noumea,
New Caledonia, the convicts have or
ganised a band. The leader Is a no
torious murderer and was once In the
orchestra of the Paris opera house.
The cymbal player killed a subpoena
server, and the drum player has murd
ered his landlady with a hammer. The
first cornet Is guilty of murder, with
robbery as the motive, and one of the
clarinets, a tavernkeeper, used to kill
his natrons for the same reason. The
assistant bandmaster wos convicted of
having cut his wife to pieces. This
convict band gives dully concerts to
the Inhabitants of Noumea, . who are
enthusiastic over the new organisation.

Fig Culture in the South.
We are Informed that A. F. Gardner,
of Taioo City, Is planting 6,000 flg
trees. The trees are one year old,
bear the second year, at the age of
five yeara averaging sixty-five pounds
of fruit to the tree, and the , fruit
brings from 4 to 6 cents a pound; de
mand unlimited.
There la no state In this union where
the fig tree flourishes more prolificacy
than in Georgia, It Is easily cultiva
ted, requires little attention and pro-
ducea munificently. A more delicious
fruit does not exist. Agusta Chronl

WILL DISARM THE CRAFT.
Torpedo Boat Destroyer Will Not Ven
ture out of Cheefoo.
Cheefoo, Nov. 16, 2:30 P. M. The
captain of the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Ratstoropny, which put into
this harbor early this morning has
notified the Chinese authorities ""that
he will disarm. It Is believed that
this decision was arrived at after com
municating with St. Petersburg.
There la reason to believe that Japa
nese cruisers have been watching the
port, although a ateamer which has
Just arrived saw no Japanese war
vessel.
Life of a Battleship.
A modern battleship costs probably
ten times what a Constitution or a
Victory coat a century ago, yet its life
of active usefulness, even barring
deatructlon In a sea fight, la compara
tively brief. So rapid are the advances
In th.' science of naval architecture
and armament that within ten years
of her launching a Massachusetts or
an Oregon has become a relic of the
past, and Is doomed to speedy oblivion

How it Is In Germany,
. a female teacher in a school In West
phalia had to make an official com
munication to the minister of educa
tion. She used for the purpose what
is called "eagle paper," having the
royal eagle upon it as a watermark,
and duly dispatched it to Berlin
through the school board of Essen.
After a few days the leter came back.
with an intimation that It must t re
