MILLIONS WHO LIVE IX ONE ROOM,
Examples of Had Mousing in Christen
dom's Chief City.
From Gunton's Magazine.
For London this must be said, that It
has led the way in the effort to provide f
comfortable and wholesome homes for
the poor. Bad housing is now confes
sedly seen to be a terribly expensive
thing to any community, and In this
sphere of philanthropic and civic action
the laissez falre doctrine has yielded
most slowly. Mr. Booth has afforded
great help to the London council, and
we can commend this volume to the
careful study of those who are inter
ested in the matter of providing model
tenements. As this Is a subject which
concerns every populous center, our
author's Investigations and the views
of his contributing monographlsts will
make this volume of world-wide inter
est and value.
It Is, however, absolutely startling,
when running over some of Mr. Booth's,
unromantlc but appalling figures, to
find that in the lower classes there is an
aggregate of 2.2M.O0O who cook, eat,
sleep, wash, etc., in a single room; that
ther are 1.000 persons living with more
thnn eight In a room; thnt G.ikiu dwell
with seven In a room, nnd 5.700 with
five In a room. These data carry their
own leSSoh; they seT every friend of hu
manlty reflecting on such a social state
in the chief city of Christendom; and
they already have awakened renewed
Interest in the subject of this volume,
and will make Imperative on moral and
sanitary grounds tho breaking up of
this sort of promiscuous herding.

portant preliminary to the Republican
state convention tomorrow, a caucus
of "the delegates favorable to the can
didacy of Senator Quay for the presi
dency" was held tonight in the board
of trade rooms. The hall was crowded
aud the work of the convention was
mapped out. It was expected that
resolutions endorsing Senator Quay for
the presidency would lie offered, but
this was not done, the programme be
ing changed for some reason. The
Quay endorsement will bo made, how
ever. In the convention plutform, and
It will be strong and to the point.
Quay buttons and badges prevail to
night and the influence of the Junior
senator Is pan-amount. He will control
thi! convention by a very large major
ity. The state capital Is crowded with
delegates and Republican politicians of !
high and low degree.
The caucus began at 8 o'clock. Ly- )
man D. Gilbert, of Ilarrisburg, pre
sided, and J. B. Rex, of Huntingdon,
secretary of the state committee, and
Captain J. M. Clark, of New Castle,
were the secretaries.
I'pou the motion of Secretary of the
Commonwealth Frank Reeder, a com
mittee of the was named, with Mr.
Reeder at the head, to select eight
delegates nnd as many nlternutes-ut-lurge
to the national convention and
four presidential electors-at-large.

who will be formally elected by the
cun vcntlon:
Delegates-at-large, Governor Daniel
II. Hastings, Centre county; James Kl

convention, with Jere H. Rex, of Hunt
ingdon, and full F. Kspenshade, of
Juniiitn, us temporary secretrles.
This was adopted.
At 8.45 o'clock the caucus adjourned.
The fact that James S. Heacom, of
Westmorelnnd, has been included in the
list of delegatos-at-large shows that he
lias wlthdruwn from the contest for
congressman-at-lurge. Accordingly tho
convention will noinlnutu Ualushu. A.
Grow, of Susquehanna, the present in
cumbent, and Samuel A. Davenport, of
Krie, as the candidates: for congress-man-at-large.

delegates and alternates-at-large to the
national convention and the presiden
tial electors-at-large, and choosing a
chairman of the state committee the
convention will name thirty-two candi
dates for presidential electors. The
number of delegates in the convention
will be 2S9, the representation of the

have the convention endorse him as a
second choice for the presidency.
