Starvation in London.
The London papers of January 21 report more coroners' inquests on deaths from starvation than have been known in the great metropolis for years. There were four on one day in the week ending the 21st. In a census the paupers have passed the 100,000 brand, and now count 102,000. The increase in public paupers over last year is 5,000. There is no longer any dread of monster meetings of tha unemployed at the East End. Nothing is heard now of mass meetings in Trafalgar Square. . TJie poor are wrestling with silence.
Says Friday's West Coast Times:— "Messrs Paterson, Michel & Co., on Wednesday shipped ioo cases of tinned whitebait for Melbourne. This is a trial shipment, and should it prove a commercial success will be repeated next season on a much larger scale. The whitebait were t'inne'oj at Kumara. ' ''■'- " Like water, off a deck's haqk H cjej scribes their wonderful quality. No one need now to foar'tlie' heaviest shower of rain while wearing a dress of the impervious Impervanas serge. Procurablo only at Te Aro House, Wellington.
