books in this city is a 2o-vo'ume
Of Edition Motley's Rise. of the
Dutch Republic" owned by Clar-
ence II. Clark, the banker. These
volumes are said to have cost their
owner $4,000. Originally the set
consisted of nine handsomely
printed volumes which have been
extended by the insertion of some
$500 portraits, engravings, auto
graphs and maps, making the pres
ent elaborate and costly work.
The illustrations were inserted III
appropriate places opposite the
text, so that the scenes of the bat
ties and persons figuring in them.
could be better represented and
appreciated by the type alone.
The set is not quite filled with IL
lustrations, however, and Mr..
Clark is still diligently seeking
after more material.
The twenty mine volumes are
handsomely bound in Levant Mo-
rocco, and this item was not the
least.of those contributing to the
cost Of the books. The volumes
are Of the imperial folio size SO
necessary for such an elaborate
! work. The set is considered to be
the finest, most complete and
costly edition of "Motley's History

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

There is q Mr.. Langtry, and peo-
pie have sometimes wondered why
he did not take care Of his wife
instead of compelling her to earn
her own living on the stage, with
all the chances of taking cold from
insufficient clothing, besides the
need of seeking protection outside
of the domestic circle. The mys-
terry is unveiled at last. A wife
who is unable to get along on less
than $153.S9 worth of meat, vege-
tables and fish week is a luxury
beyond the means of an ordinary
gentleman in society. with his own
modest bar and supper bill to

trive to get herself enrolled as a
regiment of cavalry and advertise
for commissary proposals.

FOR OKLAHAMA.

Arkansas City, Kansas, April
1S.-Ten thousand boomers began
the march this morning across the
Cherokee strip for Oklahoma.
Two nights had drenched the coun-
tiy, but the pilgrims crowded for
ward in the mud choked roads as
far as they were permitted to go.
Atdaylight the teams Of the BOOM
ers stood with noses over the line.
Meanwhile the troops of the Fifth
cavalry were striking camp, and
at S o'clock they rode down
to the head of the road. AS the
watch noted the exact hour of s,
Captain Hays gave the word. The
bugles rang, the sentries who had
all night held back the throng gal
loped to their places in the column
with a parting cheer, and the
boomers broke over the line into
the territory. Their white-topped
schooners now stretch away to the
southern horizon, over the un-
broken plain, affording a splen-
did spectacle. The move
ment will continue unremittingly
for two or three days.

When you are in the street on
which side of the walk do you

Of course you do. And you look
to the left, eh? If you don't you
are different from every one else.
Well, you walk to the right and
you look to the left. Twenty five
or thirty years of this sort Of thing
