Scheveningen has, however, a far different
class outside of its peasants. The sea shore
is lined with great hotels, equal in size to
those OF Long Branch and habited by u
throns fully as gay and well dressed. At
night thousands OF people from the Hague
come to the shore and listen to the music in
the concert halls and on the verandas OF their
hotels, and the promenade along the sea Is
lined with people. The beach as Scheven'
ingen IS much like that Of Cape May. 1t con-

sand, and it is very wide. Along its outer
edge back from the sea is a fine paved prom

driveway filed during the day with Iveried
coachmen driving fine carriages. The beach
Of a continental watering place presents a
far different sight than that of an American
one. The men and the women do not as a
rule battle together and their bath houses are
not at all like ourS. The American sea bath
house is a stationary cabin on the shore, and
at our large resorts there are hundreds OF

The Dutch houses are tall and narrow. The
material used in making them is usually red
brick and white cement. Their roofs are Of
red tiles, and they have the quaint finish at
the front seen in the old Dutch paintings.
Even the farm houses are picturesque, and
many Of them reminded me Of the Queen
Anne bastard architecture which is now SO
MUCK employed in the building of small Amer
lean houses. Some Of the roofs Of the farm
house are very tall and sharp, and now and
then you find an octagonal house among them.
Ihey have the stables close to the houses, and
a clamp Of trees generally surround them. A
windmill forms a part Of the farm machinery
in many cases, and the great arms OF these,
tossing about, make the vast green plains OF

THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
BOGUE FALIA.

The Washington correspondent
of the Times Democrat. referring to
the improvement of Louisiana riv-
e-s. says:
There is $4,000 available for the
improvement of the navigation of
the Tchefuncta river. and it will be
used in work on the Bogue Falia
up to Covington, This money will
be spent in the removal OF obstruc-
tons, such as logs. overhangins
trees, etc. The original project did
not provide for any breakwater
across the bar at the mouth, but
the engineers deem this necessary
to insure proper depth. although
it will largely increase the estimate
OF cost as at first submitted.

BLOOD IN ST. TAMMANY.
ICity Item. |

Last Saturday night the vicinity
Of the depot at Slidell. La, on the
line Of the Northeastern Road, was
the scene of another of those des-
perate and bloody fights which
have occurred at intervals at that
place. The Desroes had all been
drinking together, when, at eleven
o'clock, about a dozen of them got
in u fight over a game of dice, and
empty bottles glasses. etc, we're
fired about promiscuously. there
being several heads cut, and boy
named Jim White having his front
teeth knocked out.
During the fight one Of the me-
groes, named Tom Walker, hit Joe
Robinson on the head with stick
of wood and knocked him senseless.
Robinsons brother, Hsmp. then
Walker, and, drawing a
knife. cut Walker several times
about the breast and arms.
Walker then drew his revolver
and fired two shots at Hamp Rob-
inson. both bullets taking effect,
one in the right breast and the
other i'm the left shoulder. both
wounds being serious. The two
Robinsons, Walker and White were
placed Oh the excursion train Sun
day afternoon and taken to the city
and placed in Charity Hospital.
Hamp Robinson's wounds are con-
sidered extremely serious.

SUCCESS OF THE DIFFUSION
EXPERIMENTS AT
FORT SCOTT.

Last year the Department oil
Agriculture began to experiment in
a small way at Ottawa, Kansas,
with the diffusion sugar making
process as applied to surghum cane.
Instead of crushing cane, as in the
sugar car process. it WIS shaved
off in minute slices, and the sucrose
or sugar yielding sap extracted by
streams of water. The results OBJ
tanned were so encouraging that
the field of operations was removed
to Fort Scott this year. and with
largely increased plant, expert
ments are now in progress on a
scale Of some magnitude.
Last Monday a telegram was re-
ceived in Washington from Prof.
Wiley, the Chemist of the Depart
ment, who is in charge ofthe works,
announcing the complete success
Of the experiments. The telegram
states that syrup has been obtain
ed from the sorghum cane, of light
color, good flavor. and crystalizing
we'll. There was
CONFLICTS EXTRACTION
of the sucrose in six of the cells of
the battery. Commissioner Colman
is very much elated at the results
Of the experiments, and regards it
as OF great value from an econoni-
cal point of view. In the process
now used in the South there is a
loss of nearly SO per cent. of the
saccharine matter contained. while
the experiments at Fort Scott show
an absolute extraction of all sugar.
