BEEF HONOPOLY AT AUAO.

[TO THE EDIDE OF “! THE HONGKONG DALY PRESS."]

SI-Allow be to encroach upon your valuable spacto comment upon the old dushioned boot monopoly in Mano which Jy farmed out under invuopoly by the Municipal Comcil of this Portuguese Colony. I am bare the public will agree that they have always. Telt vory keenly the boot shorts and are even prepared 10 pay a higher prica

The Munichal Council believes it is doing a good service to the, public by farming out he monopoly in terms of two years fd the best offer at lowest price. This honopoly, for the last four or five year has not been feasible be- cause of the fontinually fluctuating price of cattle. Casequently the variens past monopolists ve been unable to continue their contracs after a few months' trial, <ausing great inconvenience to the public) who would without any best for days.

The Institution of the Little Sisters of the Poor was founded in 1839 at St. Servan, in Brittany, by two Breton the work peasant girls. From there spread with wonderful rapidity, until to-day, eighty years later, more thany three hundred houses have been opened | in all parts of the world in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia. In these three hundred houses 45,000 old people have found a comfortable home in their declining yeATE. The Institution is Cathole one, but no distinction is made for admission; provided the applicants are destilate old people, incapable of earning their own livelihood or without relations or friends willing and able to care for them, they are lit subjects for
