TREASURY TALK.
A Washington dispatch states that 5ecre-
tary Sherman, in conversation regarding the
financial situation, said there was nothing
further he could do. "What golden oppor-
tunity they have missed In Congress" he said.
"by not passing 3K per cent. funding bill.
The whole business could have been finished
in ten days, but now I don't know how it Is
coming out. There is good deal of difficulty,
fear"
Assistant Secretary Upton talked very finely.
He said a few kilograms had been received from
people crying out for aid, but there was moth
ing more to be done. The whole difficulty in
Wall street was not a lack of money but feel
ing of uncertainty and desire to bear the
market He thought the decline was at an
end. The banks had furnished good reason
for the passage of a bill taking away their
right. They acted very foolishly indeed.

MORE DOGS--LESS TRUST.

A correspondent of Western ex-
change, writing from n town in Indi-
ana, says:
One evening was in Musher's gro
Gerry store, speaking with one of the
clerks, when lady came in and asked
the proprietor If he would crust her for
some goods for few days. The lady
was well dressed, and | was rather sur
prised when, after asking her where she
lived, where she had been trading and
tho like, he asked:
"Do you keep dogsw
The lady looked somewhat astonish-
cd at this question, but, as she was anx-
ious to open an account at the estab-
lishment, she answered, after mo-
ment's hesitation:
eyes"
GLOW many" asked the grocer.
ooh, only one"
Inc lady got her g0Ods anu departed,
after which Musher said to me:
''Do you know that woman?'
"No, sir; | DO not"
"Did you hear me ask her if she
keeps dogs''
eyes"
"Well, you know why asked that ?"
'T an sure do not"
''Well, sir, this is the rule l go by.
If person keeps only one dog, am
pretty sure of my pay. On this recon-
mendation trust them one week; if
they keep two, only three days, but if
they keep three dogs wouldn't open an
account with them if they owned half
the town.

that the boat can be steamed by eithor

she is pronounced by all that have

her destination in a few days.
The fine boat above described will
only be used until the bridge is finished,
say December first. The latter will be
a costly structure, intended to be endur-
ing. Should the company obtain such
rights and privileges as they require at

THE PROFESSIONAL LONDON
BEAUTIES.
London Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.

London Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer
saw Mrs. Langtry the other even
ing at the opera on the occasion of
th first performance Of Rubinstein's
opera of II Demonio. She sat with
her back to the stage during the en-
tire evening, having evidently come
there to be seen, and not to see. The
Jersey Lily looks worn and faded,
and her pale-gray toilet lacked the
snowy splendor that used to charac-
terize her costumes in former days.
Incver admired her even when | first
knew her in the very height of her
renown. How any face could be
considered handsome with that broad,
heavy jaw was to me a mystery.
And then she always lacked tho su-
preme charm Of beauty, namely un-
consciousness, whether real or fcign-
ed. She is always attitudinizing, and
always on the lookout for admirers.
The Prince of Wales dropped in to
visit her in ono of the cntr' acts, but
His Highness had cod in his head,
apparently, as he passed nearly the
whole of the period Of his visit in a
series Of vehement and most unroyal
sneezes. The beauty of the present
London season is said to be a Mrs.
Simpson, who, with her husband, has
just returned from FIVE years resi-
dence in China. There is also Miss
Graham, who has most lovely face,
but who spoils her very undeniable
charms by the too free use of cosmet-
les. However, / think that the epoch
of professional beauty in London so
ciety is pretty much at an end, which
is fortunate for society.

He took off his mask, and showed a
decidedly handsome, decidedly evil
face.
"My Parthenia, how beautiful you
look"
The expression was involuntary.
Beautiful indeed was the statesque
figure, in neat simple, severe, ex-
quisite dress which challenges the
many, adorns the few-the Greek
costume.
The soft white robes fell in grace
full, classic folds to her feet-tbe
heavy staff she takes when she gives
her lover the flowers held carelessly
in one hand-the helmet, the shield,
all glittering in the dim light.
"Why do you not speak to me,
Elsie, my love 7"
"Keep such a title for Ianthe How

She spoke rapidly, and still in his
own tongue, the better 10 disguise

"What is she to meg | told you

and do not think too hard of me

fortune, Take off that jealous mask.
You start! Alb, my love, do not
blame me too much. Remember,

"Pray, do not 80 far inconvenience
yourself, Mr.. D'Esterre. That fool

And Ianthe Howard calmly laid
down her mask on the ebony centre
table.
"Great Heaven-lanthe"
ayes. Permit me to return the
pledge of a false VOW"
And, in her proud, silent way, she
drew off sparkling solitaire and laid
it quietly down.
"And permit me to say yon have
made more than one mistake to-
night, Jean D'Esterre."
And from ont of shadowy corner
came the bright figure of a VIVIAN

Gaudet passed together from the
room, united in their triumph over
treachery-the woman he had loved
for her money and the woman he had
loved for herself.
And to-day, Ianthe knows that her
life and love lie sacredly in the hands
of an honest gentleman, and thanks

mans heart, for the happiness that
bloomed and blossomed out of her
girlhood's sorrow.

of my great love for you dear. Harsh

"But you know love him."

catingly, lifting her lovely, troubled
eyes to her aunt's face.

The room was long, silent, dimly

dancers to wander of in search of
cooler air, so they were undisturbed.
Once there, he turned and faced
her in that mellow half-light which
left the corners mystically dim.
