Good Hamel was arrested early Satu' 'ay evening. under the pavement in the Ramey building, on Twelfth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, and lockd up at the police station on a charge of disorderly conduct.

Later in the evening he was released when a friend on depositing $50 securing for his appearance at a hearing this afternoon. Hamel. it is alleged. had been under the pavement locking up through the glass grating in front of the building, great annoring women pedestrians.

It is feared that when rain does come it will wash great amounts of Alth into the already stagnant streams with the result that disease, especially typhoid fever, will become epidemic. The health authorities have sounded warning to the public to boil all water used for internal purposes and say by doing this only can many deaths and much sickness be prevented. Thousands of Workmen Are Idle.

Next in importance, comes the enforced suspension of numerous industries and the throwing out of employment of thousands workmen, many of whom had just returned to work following the recent depression. While in the Pittsburg district the water supply is sufficient to carry on all business, the low stage of the rivers has caused a congestion of much coal in this vicinity. Every available barge and float has been loaded with coal and at present, with almost 20,000,000 bushels in the Pittsburg harbor, the river coal mines have been compelled to shut down for the want of shipping facilities. There are about 15,0:00 miners employed in river mines along the Monongahela Valley. Coal Famine Is Not Unlikely.

This great fleet of coal is for the supply of points in the west and south and the probabilities are there will be a coal famine experienced especially in the northwest, should conditions prevent the shipment of the coal before cold weather sets in.

In eastern Ohio the same conditions prevail and it is feared the great iron and steel mills at Youngstown, employing over 20. 000 men, will have to suspend operations unless the drought is speedily broken. A New Yorker visiting Paris for the first time became much interested in the little boys in white caps and aprons who deliver the wares of the pastry cooks.

"Ah," said the New Yorker one day to one of the youngsters, who had brought him some cakes, "I suppose you get the benefit of one of these cakes yourself sometimes?" "Pardon, sir, but what do you mean?" "You eat a cake now and then, eh?" "Eat them, sir! Oh, no, sir! That wouldn't do. I only lick them as come along." -Harper's Weekly. HAPPY SAN W. W.
