the fire was seen TO be in Riley's
coat and vest, which were piled in
the middle of the room with some
burning scraps of paper and charred
matches. Riley was unconscious, but
when dragged out Of the smoke revived
aud asked for his coat. Pruitt when the
fire was put out bad picked up the rem
nants of the coat and thrown it out of a
window into an alley. The old man
stated that he had a large sum of money
sewed up IN the lining. The coat was
hunted up, but the lining had been cut
open and the money was gone. About

Wsnamaker Avenees a Slight to the Son o.
Senator QUAY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker has directe Post
master Sherwood of the Washington
postoffice to suspend Mrs. Margaret s.
Watkins, clerk at the general delivery
window, for using offensive language to-
wards Richard Quay, son of Senator
Quay, of Pennsylvania.
The circulated account of the affair
has it that Quay asked for his fathers
mail at the delivery window, and some
one standing near remarked: "He's
dead; 1t goes to the dead letter Office
now, and Mrs. Watkins, who was on
duty at the window, thoughtlessly re-
peated the remark. Mt. Quay, IL is
said, seemed to regard the matter as a
joke at the time and walked away smil-
ing. Postmaster-G General Wanamaker
says that Quay told him that the clerk at
the delivery window said that his father
was dead and that his mail went to the
dead letter office. He at once ordered a
suspension Of the clerk until an investi-
cation could be made. Superintendent
Bell of the city delivery admits that he
made the remark which Mrs. Watkins
repeated.

MORE COMING.

The French Canadian is not much seen in in the eastern part, where he finds work for himself and his large family in the mills. In Massachusetts he spreads all over the State and is found both in the mill and the farm- ing regions. He is, as a rule, very industri- ous and economical, will work for little ''get along" He is not often a skilled work man, and is not very learned. It now appears that he Is going to leave Canada in greater numbers than ever this year. MT. Mercier prophecies that before the end of the year there will be over million from the province of Quebec alone in the States. The older regions of Quebec offer no opportu mites for much more than bare livelihood. The wheat land Is exhausted, the timber largely cut, and the land from which it was cut almost worthless. There Is no market fol the mineral wealth of the country; there are no manufactories. Along the Gssps shore few thousand support themselves by fishing, and the lumber mills support { great many families. But the population is growing faster than the opportunities for livelihood increase. Emigration is therefore almost an economic necessity. The oonssruc tion of sevaral breuun railroads has opened districts from which egress was before diff cult, and the habitant finds his way over tn, line. Efforts to direct this emigration tt Manitoba or into the other Canadian provinces do not succeed.
 This is not a very cheering prospect fol the laborers of New England, who are al ready numerous enough and poorly enougl paid. The addition of large number O French Canadians to their number will no help to raise their wages.

SUNDAY IN PROVIDING


 The trustees of the public library in Provi- dence have voted to open the institution on Sundays. In taking this action the trustees have followed an example which has good deal of approval. Thus, 1t was stated at the annual gathering of librarians at St. Louis that of 175 public libraries in the country from which returns had been received, forty seven, or one-third, are regularly thrown open on Sundays to any who choose to make use of the rooms, while the majority of the remainder are closed only because of special conditions as to locality or the lack of funds.
 It is urged in behalf of such action in Providence that it will do good. The purpose, says the Journal, is not to provide another day for the sending forth of books--not to continue the work of the week day at all in the stricter sense-but to supplement 1t by cultivating and adminis- tering to 8 new and now unreachable con- stituency; to touch at least the fringe of that great multitude of the hard worked-clerks, mechanics, shopmen-who find no opportu- nifty for intellectual development outside their particular callings during the week, and who now spend the Sunday in idleness, or, through idleness, fall an easy prey to mischief. It may fairly po doubted That many of those who do not use the library on week days will use it on Sunday, but it's opening on Sunday will be convenience to many. It is difficult to see how it can do any harm even if it doesn't do much good.

been weighted with curse. Trade had fallen off and they had become poor. The curse could only be accounted for by the fact that shaving the heads of poor, innocent widows was sin. It was against the Hindoo scriptures to deprive a widow of her hair. The meeting thsreupon resolved that no barber should shave Q widows head, and that if he did he should be communicated.
 The teaching of German in the public schools of Indianapolis has been abolished. The superintendent reported . that among 14,000 scholars only e17 have undertaken German, and but thirty-eight have oomplet- ed the course. To achieve this result sixteen German teachers were employed and an ex- pense incurred of $10,000 per year. This outcome of the effort to include the study of German in the course of study has caused the good people of Indianapolis to open their eyes. So they have been looking at the $10,- 900 year which the instruction in German has cost, and then at the thirty-eight pupils who have completed the study of that Ian guage, and have made up their minds that $265.16 per pupil is little too high price for having it said that Indianapolis schools taught German.

Social Life in Bulgaria.

From the English Illustrated Magazlnel
 The dwelling.hcusss of the better class never rise beyond two stories; the greater number have only ground floor with a kind of basement story below Almost all of them are built on the same plan. The house stands in 8 small garden or courtyard, in the center of which is fountain. Here the abs lutions of the family are performed; this at least, is my conjecture, as the usual utensils for washing are not generally to be found in the house. In one mansion there was a kind of trough provided with a piece of soap in
 the entrance hall; the luxury of washing in
 private Is not attainable as @ rule, and the
 "tub" or hip bath is absolutely unknown.
 When the guest announces his wish to wash
 his hands female servant approaches with diminutive jug and basin. or rather bowl; he holds out his hands while she pours the
 water upon them in tiny driblets; in @ mo- ment she presents him with towel, and the function is at an end. The indifference of eastern Christians to the merits of water and soap seems to ba kind of reaction against the precepts of the Koran day :; in this respect our coreliRionists appear to disregard the distinct injunctions of St. Paul.
 tioned flight of six or eight steps leads up to the main floor of the house, which some times has 6 balcony in front. There is a large central corridor or hall, with one side exposed to the air, into which the doors of the other apartments open. Sometimes there is house door, but at rule the only way of closing the house is by locking the very un- substantial doors of the various rooms. The bars, bolts, chains, massive locks, and other apparatus of obstruction which fortify the English hall door would appear superaueus to the simple-minded Bulgarian. The prin- cipal sitting room, which, however, appears to be seldom used by the family, generally ! resembles the lantern of Q lighthouse, an
 omnibus, or railway sigral box, inasmuch l as it is surrounded on two or more sides by contiguous windows; in summer it is unbsar- ably hot, in winter unbearable cold. A di- van runs round the wall, covered with Bull | garian rugs of brilliant colorinR; sometimes l there is handsome Prot carpet on the floor, 1 the bare boards of which are always appar- l ent. In the bedrooms, which are unfurn- l ished with any species of crockery, there is 1 usually piecs of gorgeous tapestry hung | on the wall by the side of the bed; one con- 1 templates it with pleasure before rising in
 the morning. The bed itself, strewn with a
 rich coverlet of quilted silk, offers pleasing prospect of repose, which, alas, is often dissi- l pated sby the attentions of inumerable bed-fellows. How these houses, with their
