Growing Dangers of City Life in London and New York

By Observer

The St. James’ Gazette, London, says: “Murders of the most atrocious character are now common incidents, and there probably never was a time when, if the truth were told, life was so unsafe in London as it is at the present moment.”

And it is probably true also of New York. There are parts of the city where it is very unsafe for any one to go without protection. And private citizens are driven to the employment of watchmen to guard their homes, though the police of the city are supposed to be caring for the same property at the same time.—Observer.
