TRADE INCREASING.^ SlKtterlng Reports of Business In Every 1 5 , R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of ' , • Ifcade says: |i»»oi iinprovoment is seen in almost every <1o- gatment of business. With each week it he­mes snore certain that (he crops of the vear ' will lie large, and of late tho news from abroad has clearly indicated a larger foreign demand, While such speculation as might arrest the out- Ward movement of grain and provisions has thus far been prevented. In cotton, on the other hand, the present scarcity rules the price In spite of bright prospects as to the coming , crop. Tho prevailing opinion is that all danger of monetary stringency is over for the year. The reports from various cities are unusually satisfactory, indicating at every point either im­ provement or continuance of previous activity Where the expansion of trade had been greatest. At Chicago sales and collections are up to the average, and the supply of money is ample for the demand. At Omaha and St. Paul heavy bneir.ess continues, and at Kansas City there is an increase, r\ith money at all th^se points in fair supply and collections fair. The demand is inrii-'k at Milwaukee, but the supply ample. At Detroit collections are better and business increasing. At Cleveland there Is great activity. At Pittsburgh and Philadelphia improvement continues in the Iron business, and glass is fairly active, as are liquors, drugs, and chemicals at Philadelphia. At Boston, wool 1s selling freely, largely of Montana and Ohio fleece, at some concessions in prices, but more confidence is ft It. Leather is Itt active demand, and boots anil shoes are Steady, vrith the factories well supplied with orders until October. Tde improvement in iron end steel is general at Philadelphia and Pitts- : burg. During the last week there has been peat activity and a general advance in stocks. Both in imports and exports the increase over last year continues enormous, and the rate of foreign exchange has advanced to 4S8, the Bank dt England holding the minimum at 4 per cent. The general level of prices of commodities ia a Shade lower than Sept. 1. The business fail- -ores number 'JOl, as compared with a total of S1J the previous week, and Stoti the week before that.

At Denver Billy Johnson, aged IS, became jealous of his sweetheart, Jennie Schrock, because of her attention to Charles Wood. Johpson and the girl met and quarreled. The girl ordered him away from the house. Johnson pulled a revolver, and as the girl ran toward the house, he fired. The ball entered her back and passed through the heart, com­ ing out of her left breast. The murderer then ran to his room, fired a ball through his heajt and another through his head. MRS.

THE flour output at Minneapolis last week reached 133,380 barrels, being the largest since November last. The flour market is inactive, and prices are lower. BOB YOUNGER, the Missouri outlaw in the State's prison at Stillwater, Minn., is sinking rapidly. Steward H .11, of the Srison, says: "He is likely to die any ay from heart failure. He is now so weak that it is impossible to hear his faintly whispered words unless the lis­ tener "bends close to his lips." A pho­ tographer has secured a negative of the Youngers, with their sister, who is there caring for Bob. This is the only picture made of the boys since they were cap­ tured after the Northfield robbery and murder in 1875. THE largest bar of gold ever cast in the world was turned out at the Helena (M.

TEN cars were wrecked, a brakeman I killed, and several persons injured near 508 i Enterprise, Ohio, by a collision on the i l i - • were intombed. Four bodies have been recovered. It is believed that the sixty miners still in the pit are dead. GBN. BOULANGER has written to Prime Minister Tirard, claiming the right to be tried by court-martial and pledging himself to appear before such tribunal. The refusal of a trial by court- martial, the General says, will be equiva­ lent to an admission on the part ol the government that it fears the impar­ tiality of a military court.

THREE HUNDRED KILLED. pleat Loss of life Caused by an Explosion of Dynamite at Antwerp. ,V F -;T; AT Antwerp a terrible explosion oc- 'J 4Mrred at Corrilani's cartridge factory, * by which 300 persons were killed and 1,000 injured. Most of the killed were employes of the factory, not one of whom fcas been found alive. The remains so far recovered are horribly mangled, and, in most cases, unrecognizable. The factory immediately took tire, and burn­ ing fragments from the building were whirled through the air, some of them Striking the Bourse, which was near by, Slid which was saved with difficulty. Ad­ joining the factory were large petroleum •tores, to which the fire was communi­ cated. These were completely demol- : ished. It was feared at one time that the African docks and American docks would catch lire from the mass of burning pe­ troleum, the heat from which was intense, bat, the direction of the wind saved the •hipping.

At Alma, Neb., a heavy frost fell in the valley. The damage to corn was slight. Ee££rt&|rom points in Kangas j3is- sotin show that a fighf frost prevaile3 throughout tfcg, northern parts of those gtates. Jjo daffiPge to the cprn crop is reported. DisputcheS Titan Nortli- westfrn Iowa tell of colder, clearing weather, with B" slight freeze iD some places. It is toot believed that this cold waVe is psvsre enough to injure more than the late corn, except in case of back­ ward fields upon low ground. A pretty hard freeze will be necessary to damage It materially. At Piattsmouth, Neb., a heavy frost is reported. Much corn there will be injured, as only on the dry, high laud was the crop out of danger. At Dodge Center, Minn., a heavy frost did consideiable damage to tho corn crop. IT has been decided to elect ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt President of the Ten­ nessee Iron and Railroad Company, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of, ex- Governor Brown. THE following is the weekly weather crop bulletin, issued by the Signal Office: The week has been slightly cooler than usual in the Southern, Middle, Atlantic, and New En­ gland States. In the Northwest, including the States of the Missouri and Upper Mississippi Valleys and the Upper Lake region, the week was unusually warm, the daily temperature from Lake Michigan westward to the Missouri Valley ranging from G to 9 degrees above the normal. There has been much less rain than usual throughout the country. Very light local rains were reported from the Upper Lake le­ gion and the Northwest, but no rain occurred in the States of the Ohio Valley, Illinois, Eastern Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, West Tennessee, Northern Alabama and Mississippi. The weather during the week was unusually warm and dry throughout the corn belt and the ex­ treme Northwest, causing corn to mature rapidly, but the crop is much in need of rain in some localities. Hot winds and drought have caused some damage to crops in Dakota, Illinois, and Missouri. Early corn in the cen­ tral valleys was much improved by the hot, dry weather. The absenco of rain has affected grass, fruit, and tobacco unfavorably in the Ohio Valley, while showers in Tennessee have improved the tobac­ co crop. Reports from Texas indicate that the weather for the week wa3 very favorable for cot­ ton and the crop is being secured rapidly. In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi the cot­ ton crop was much improved by favorable •weather, but more rain is needed, especially for cane in Louisiana. Considerable damage has been caused by boll worms in Arkansas and Mississippi. In South Carolina and Tennessee the weather was unfavorable for cotton, while in Alabama the crop was improved and is reported in good condition. In the Middle Atlantic States, including New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York, th-> weather was favorable, causing corn to mature rapidly, with prospects of a large crop. Potatoes were improved in New York, but need more rain, while in Penn­ sylvania and New England the potato rot con­ tinues, with a prospect of a short crop of in­ ferior quality. In New England the weather was cool, but an average crop of oorn is ripen­ ing rapidly. The fruit crops in this section are generally in good c. ndition, but the yield of apples will be light. A tobacco crop and a large second cron of grass have been secured. Re­ ports from the Pacific, coast indicate that re­ cent rains have been beneficial to the root crops The Government Knaployiav Convteta fa Unload Veofets--Price of Coat Advancing --Collecting funds for the Idle Men-- Status of the Croat Labor Disturbance. A London dispatch says: The great strike remains unchanged, neither aids having made a move tc-<!ay. There are signs of discontent, howevvr, anong the agitatois, and it is a s rted thut a 8.nail committee has l<een appointed to co: s rfer the advisa­ bility of aband< n ng the strike. Thet e is also trouble over ihe relief funds, tho stevadores comj Hining that they are no'. receiving their proper share, but the men are generally standing firm and there is nothing 1 ke disaffection ia their ranks. Trn thousand tailors joined the strikers Jlthis morning, i, Ipformation has been received by the vpolice and by Home Secretary Matthews thnfc Bisrn® to-day urged the strikers to proceed to the docks and expel the men working there. Eight hundred itrikers visited the Albert docks this afternoon and compelled the laborers there to quit work. Men at. work on vessels in the Med way were also forced to quit. The govern­ ment is now employing convicts to iinlcad' vessels in the Medway. The dock companies express themselves as better satisfied with the aspect of affairs. They have an increased number of men at work. The officials state that plenty of labor would be obtainable if the strikers' picket system were abolished. A deputation of ship-owners, representing eighty of the leading houses in the metro­ politan distrfc^ waited upon the oJHcials cof the dock companies to day and urged uponi them to give the shippers pow*r to make their own arrangements with the men for the discharge and loading of vessels. Mr. Norwood, chairman Of the joint docks committee, appealed to the shippers not to press their request,, as to grant it would be impossible without con­ ceding the points which the companies are fighting against. At a meeting of wharf­ ingers a resolution was adopted advisiu£ the strikers to accept the dock companies* offer. Mr. T. P. O'Connor's paper, the Star, has collected £'J,5vO for the strikers' fund. A dispatch to the Star from Melbourne, Australia, says that at a meeting there the sum of £1,500 was collected on behalf of the strikers. At Rochester, there is much ex­ citement over the strike. Coal has advanced 2 shillings. The railroads, and the river docks are picketed by striker^ to prevent the importation of new labor. Two of the largest firms here have ex­ pressed their willingness to grant the re­ quired concessions, but the men refuse to return to work unless all the firms concede their demands. At Dundee, a trades union congress has adopted resolutions to the effect that the London agitators are justified in their de­ mands. The congress also called upon the various trades of the United Kingdom to render the strikers all possible financial support.

Henry, superintendent of the Standard Under­ ground Cable company of Pittsburg, and himself superintendent of construction for the East River Electric Light company, was instantly killed to-day by electricity in the crmpany's factory. Mr. Henry was standing on a step ladder arranging tome wire on a switchboard at the time. It is te'ieved he misse l his footing wnile on the la la er and cau.ht hold of the wires while trying to s'eady llimelf. It is said the shock was fr m an alternate current of 1,000 volts. The • e<h on his right hand and lingers was burned to the t one. His left h(n 1 waq slightly scorchel, and on his left elbow there was the imprint of a wire. Efforts were made by physicians to resuscitate him in vain. A MONTANA CAMP BURNED. Barker Nearly Destroyed--Several Lives Thought to Have Been Lost. Great Falls (M. T.) dispatch: The min­ ing camp of Barker was almost destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire started in a miner's camp, three doors below Zeigler's house, and swept from there up the valley, burning all the eastern portion of the camp. It is snpposed that Ellis, bis wife, and fou^ children all lost their lives. There are also three men missing. Mr. Heibles lost seventy tons of hay, farm tools, and everything but his household good& Barker is the business center of the en­ tire Barker district and is about sixty-five miles southeast of Great Falls. The mineral deposits are on both the east and west sides of the camp, the burned portion being on the east side of the creek, where most of the business was dona. The place will be at onoe rebuilt.

San Francisco (Cal.) dispatch: The taking of testimony in the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Deputy Marshal David Nagle, who shot and killed David Terry at Lathrop recently, was com­ menced ia the United States Circuit court before Judge Sawyer Tuesday. The coun­ sel for the defens? in opening th e case made a long statement of the circumstances which led to the killing of Judge Terry, and gave a synopsis of what the defense proposed to prove by witnesses who were to be examined. He said it would be Eroved that the life of Justice Field had sen threatened long prior to tbe assault in the dining saloon at Lathrop, and that Nagle in shooting Terry had every reason to believe that unless he did so these threats would l«e carried out. In acting as he did it would be shown that he merely did his duty as a sworn officer of the law. Witnesses wore then called who recited the details of the attack made upon Judge Sawyer by Mrs. Terry on the train be­ tween Los Angeles and -San Fran isco over a year ago. Judge Van Dyke of Los Angeles testified that he was a pas­ senger in the same car with Judge Saw­ yer, and that David Terry and his wife entered the car at Fresno. Soon after the train started Mrs. Terry aro33 and passed up the car, glaring at Judge Sawyer as she passed him, and then returned to her seat. A few minutes later Judge Terry arose and took a seat at the forward end of the ,car, facing Judge Sawyer. Mrs. Terry then joined him, and as she passed Judge i-'awver she reached over and pulled his hair. She afterward took a seat behind Judge Sawyer, and the witness thought she intended to attack him with her parasol, but in a few moments she joined her husband and no further trouble occurred. W. M. Cflles of this oity, who was also a passenger on the car, corroborated Judge Van Dvke's account of the affair, and said that after Mrs. Terry made the attack she j oined her husband in a seat near him and related what had occurred with a great deal of glee, at which Judge Terry laughed. The witness heard Mrs. Terry say "I will give him a taste of what he is to get hereafter; let him render that deci­ sion if be dares." He heard Judge Terry say that the only thing fit to do with Judge Sawyer would be to take him out in the bay and drown him. Marshal Franks was then called and re­ lated the incident in the Circuit court room last September when Mrs. Terry in­ terrupted the reading of Justice Field's decision. He said that he attempted to remove her from the room, when she made a violent attack upon him and Judge Terry interfered and drew a knife. A pistol was afterwards taken from Mrs. Terry's sachel. The marshal further state 1 that when he presented to Terry the order com- OUtting iJfcri ajici Ms wife & jjUbj-th be; catne T5r$ abusive and Terry said! '•When I get out of jail and Jud£e Field returns to California I will meet him and it will not be a very pleasant meeting for Tim.* A number of other witnesses also testi­ fied asto the affair in the court-room. Deputy Sheriff Woolsey, who had charge of the Alameda county jail while Terry and his wife were confined there, testified that he often conversed with Terry and the latter told him that ho always carried a knife. He called the judges and mar­ shal "curs" and said he would yet live to see them in their graves. He was very abusive of Judge FiekL An Oakland newspaper reporter testi­ fied that Mrs. Terry had once told him that she would probably kill Judge Field some day^ .... *--STOLE THOUSANDS. ~ The Son of an Austrian Count Arrested for Embezzling. Max Jacobson, one ot the cleverest of European sharpers, has been arrest­ ed at Chicago for extensive embez­ zlements on the Fidelity and Casualty com­ pany of this city. Jacobson, who is a young man of distinguished appearance, has been in the employ of the company nearly a year. He came here with excel­ lent recommendations. His promotion was rapid and he was soon given entire con­ trol of the company's Western business, being installed as superintendent. He had the handling of large sums of money, and his accounts nassed with very little examination. During the^, Washington park races, however, Presi^ dent Alexander learned by accident that his superintendent was risking large sums of money in the pOols, and a systematic investigation was begun, and Jacobson was proved to be a forger and confidence man, known in most of the capitals of Europe, and to have been released only a year ago after serving four years at Joliet for forgery. From Vienna, Austria, word came that Jacobson's father held the title of coun< and was one of the wealth­ iest of Austrian bankers. It having been reported that Jacobson was preparing to leave the city, a warrant charging him with embezzlement was 8 worn out at once, and an officer arrested the young man just as be was stepping o» a train for New York Wken locked up at the Central Jacobsoh admitted much that was charged against hint; but when he heard that his father knevi of the mat* ter he became almost frantic. Sfti* Tenanted Almost Wholly by Men Who Died With Their Boots On. As the traveler approaches Billings from the east, he sees to the le£t of the railroad a large number of house3. mostly of primitive construction. There is a gap of open oountry and then comes Billings That suburb is worth a visit. It ia part of Montana's history. It is Coulson. The houses, with a single ex­ ception, are untenanted, and have been for some years. It is said that people coming to Billings find it difficult to get houses. But it is never suggested that the surplus population be gathered at Coulson. If there is not a first-class ghost story for every house in the de­ serted town, then things are not as they should be. If you go to Coulson you must climb "Butte Hill" and see the Coulson burying-ground. Twenty-four men are buried there, and twenty-three of them died with their boots on. One day California .Tank--every bor­ der town had its California Jack-- staked his last twenty-dollar gold-piece at the faro table and lost it. He gob up, feeling ugly, walked outdoors and Bowvenlrs of Criminal Doings Bring Good I Prices Under the Hammer, Probably the most remarkable auction I that ever occurred in this city took i place recently at the Auction rooms ot B. U. Leonori & Co. Owing to the J peculiar class of people who were .ex- j pected, the sale was arranged to take j place on a day differing from that on | which household goods are sold. The | sequel fully warranted the precaution, i as nearly every phase of humanity was j there. The object of the auction was ; the disposal of as varied a lot of'horror* ; inspiring relics as was ever got to- i gether. They were from a collection j made by Frank Erskine in a long career ; as a detective, and nearly every piece j had done bloody duty as a murderers j or suicide's fatal weapon. At 10 A.

"I'll shoot the first man tUat speaks," said California Jack. "What's the matter with you?" called out the waiter in a bantering tone. California Jack put his left hand on the little fellow's shoulder and at the same instant drew his pistol and shot his victim through the heart.

"Three dollars quickly came from a veiled woman followed rapidly by $5 $7, $10, $15, before the auctioneer could call for bids. It hesitated there for a time, and then the first bidder, with a sigh that seemed to break his heart, and fairly trembling with auxiety, crept up and reached for the worthless article, muttering almost fircely, "fiftean-and-a- quarter," and put up the money to secure the prize. y ' ^Here's a rare and valuable piece,* said McCann with a bit of irony.

Statistics carefully compiled at Cas­ tle Garden, New York, show that in the eight months since Jan 1 last, there has been a falling off of 72,185 in the number of immigrants landed there as compared with the same months in 1888. In no month of the present year thus far has the number of immigrants who passed through the garden equaled the number, who arrived during the corresponding month lat year. SCARED TO DEAttt A Wealthy Kentucky Woman Succumbs to a Queer Case of Frfght.

Then there was hasty recruiting of a posse, but it was too late. California Jack escaped and never came back to Coulson. That is the way one of the twenty- three graves on "Butte Hill" was filled. The other stories are like unto it Coul­ son was here before Billings was. It was the great outfitting point for the buffalo hunters. It was a frontier me­ tropolis. When the railroad approached the Coulson people saw tyieir town a second Chicago. Coulson boomed until the railroad company built by it, got a section of land, a couple of miles fur­ ther west, and located Billings. It was proposed to connect the new town and the old town with a street railroad. The cars were even ordered and re­ ceived. But the project went the way of so many other schemes of the ear'y days. People gradually moved away from Coulson until only "Liver-Eating" John­ son remained. Mr. Johnson is credited with having taken 1,239 Sioux scalps. Once upon a time he and two compan­ ions had an unusually severe tussle wjj.h t]ie "varmints." Jfj Johnson was §6 forked lip over the struggle that at the end of i^ lie cut out the liver of an Indian an<5 devoured it in the presence of his companions, who told the story. Ever since that time he has been known as "Liver-Eating" Johnson, and he makes no denial of the incident. The historical associations at Coulson are not unpleasant to Mr. Johnson, and the ghost stories do not disturb his slum­ bers.--Billings {Mori.) letter. Business* "I call that a bit of sharp practice," said one merchant to another, as they discussed a certain transaction. "Ah, well, we must remember it's all in the way%£ business," was the care­ less reply, and the first speaker nodded in.acquiescence. Yet, prevalent as the custom may be of keeping.one set of morals for priv­ ate life and another for the public, no man can adopt it and "save his soul alive." He who unduly depreciates an article because he wishes to buy it, OE praises beyond its desert that which he intends to sell, may not be popularly considered a liar, and yet, to the eye of honesty, he seems nothing more nor less than that. "The room suits me exactly," said one of the two friends who were to­ gether seeking winter quarters. "I am sure I shall return and take it." The other, looking meaningly at her, found fault with this and that, pre­ tended to doubt the desirability of the location, and made a dozen objections which, as her friend kiiew, she did not really feel. "You kuow nothing whatever about business," said the last speaker, as they reached the street together. "Why did you say at once that you liked it?" "Because I did,",, was the simple re­ ply. "That's no reason at all. In business, my dear, you must learn to conceal what you really think. It's a game of hide-and-seek, and you must lie in am­ bush as long as you can." Yet, a self-respecting man can hardly keep a doleful countenance after making a purchase, and relax into enthusiasm when he get round the corner, without feeling himself to be more < r less of an actor and a hypocrite. A certain literal- speaking and straight-forward fariaaer was wont to say, when beginning to "trade." "That's my price; I aint got no other. Take it or leave it, and tell me when your mind's made up. I can't wait all day." Objections to the quality of his goods, he never deigned to answer. "It's there before ye to speak for itself," he would reply. *Tal$e it or leave it." The consequence was that very little haggling occurred when he was one of the parties completing a bargain. Xo one having goods to sell sought him with two prices, an "asking" and "taking" price, for the old gentleman encouraged no such proceedings. "But, after all," said a gentleman in discussing this subject, "you can't sup­ press trickery in trade. It's the way of the world, and we might as well sub- mit." "I can only quote, in reply, an old story current in Nantucket, said an­ other. "Two men were talking over the gruffness and bad temper of an­ other, and one of them said, 'Well, I suppose we must have patience with him; it's only his way.' 'Then,' said the other, 'it's a mighty poor way, and he'd better get out of it as soon as pos- : Bible.'". • j Unpatriotic. j I always hate to tell a story out of • season, says a Baltimorean, but I am afraid that this one will not keep until the next Fourth of July, so here goes: A woman who lives in the western part of our city was very much disturbed by the frightful noises which accompanied the celebration this year, This was an old rattletrap, bound to­ gether with a strip of denims that had served as a laborer's pants. It brought more than half a dozen new shovels would, however, and was bought by a speculator, who declared he oould 6ell if for $50. > An old-fashioned, two-barreled pistol, said to have been taken from the Bald Knobber Wiley Matthews, who escaped from jail and the gallows, and who was seen a month since hiding in the' swamps of Arkansas, was the next me­ mento, and brought a good figure. The infernal machine found on the body of J. Krebs, in the Missouri Pa­ cific shops, Aug. 13, 1888 was next put on the block. It was an innocent looking black bottle of the old style, with long neck, and a small clock on one side. It evoked no bids. "This is the knife with which Bill Knight murdered P. J. Harvey," ex­ plained the auctioneer, as he exposed an old wdbden-handled concern with the half blade that Knight had broken off bj striking a bone in his victim, sticking into the sheath. It wa? bid ic by a speculator also, at a fair price. Bui wLen tho knife with which Jerrj Pagels cheated the gallpws by cutting his throat was presented the excitement became intense. The bidding ran high and $37 was . offered. The purchaser, however, rescinded his bargain by for­ feiting the earnest money after finding he had not the funds. Other relics, such as counterfeit moneys, spurious bonds, handcuffs that had confined noted desperadoes, files &c., with criminally historic value? were disposed of. A peculiar specimen was the old tin oyster can in which W. E. Page concealed $1,000.06 of the $8,000 he robbed from the Adams Ex­ press Company Dec, 28, 1885, ir Golden City, Mo. Page was captured in woman's apparel en route to St. Louis, with $6,802 on his person. The ear attaacted little notice, however.--St. Louis Globe Democrat. . , ' ' Two Unique Landladies. A friend of mine has been ht apartments lately, says a bright Londor correspondent, and he is overflowing with stories concerning the rules and regulations of these temperance hotels. I called with him at one of them, and after having inspected some sepulchral apartments on the fourth floor we wert confronted by the stony-faced landlady. "I don't think your rooms will suif me," said my friend. • "Here is the tariff and rules.' Read the testimonials in the back," replied the landlady. ' We glanced over the folder, and, finding the prices by no means cheap and "extras" abundant, we prepared to go. "Lights are turned down at 12 o'clock and the gas is turned off at 12:15," said the larfdlady, planting herself in fron of the door so that we could not escape. "Suppose I should have a friend call­ ing who happened to overstay the hour ?" queried my friend. "We provide a candle in every room," was the answer, "and we allow no ales, wines, or liquors of any kind in the house." j, "Not even if I am siok and require a drop of brandy ?" "Ginger is better than brandy for sickness," responded the remarkable woman, and then launched into a dis­ sertation upon the evils of taking spir­ its for medicine. She did not even be­ lieve in external rubbing with alcohol, she informed us. The harangue was getting tiresome, and my friend.at­ tempted to cut it short by sayii>g pleas­ antly : "1 have no doubt tllat you use every effort fowOfce weil being and comfort of your guilts, but, as I said before, I don't tiJsuk the rooms suit me." "If v6u want the comforts of a home you ea* get them here, but if you want a bar you will have to go elsewhere," snapped the apostle of temperance. And we escaped. One other funny experience we had that afternoon was in a large, handsome house which displayed the familiar sign, "Furnished Apartments," over the door. Our knock was answered by a neat house-maid, and ^ a capital example of the type of British matron made her appearance. She smoothed her silk gown gave a twist to her cap ribboas and greeted us pleasantly. "You have apartments to let?" said friend inquiringly. Her faoe under­ went a change. "Yes," she answered shortly.. "But we don't take in Americans." After some little conversation she was pleasant enough in her explanations of ' ner reasons, and foremost among which* were the facts that American sightseers are irregular in taking their meals and do not like to give the customary week's notice .upon leaving.
