ACROSS THE OLD WORLD.
Two New Workers to Make the Peril.
Gus Journey on Horseback.

From the New York SUM-
Prof. f. II. Plat, the well-known horseman
OF the West End riding academy, Harlem, who,
with Millionaire John Allen, the proprietor of
the Hotel Hamilton. 125th street and sth
avenue, last year rode across the American
continent, has in contemplation another and
even greater equestrian journey. Mr.. Allen

rider, expect to start on this new trip probably

horses direct to Great Britain. MIR. Aliens
horse, Willie by name is a beautiful bay while
Mr.. Platts "Chum" is handsome black. Willie
ia six years old, while Chum is seven.
Mounting their steeds across the big pond,
the travellers intend to ride through England
Ireland France, Germany and Russia, thence
into Siberia and across China and portion of
Japan. 1t is expected that the entire trip will
take in the neIghborhood of two and a half
years and that the cost will be something like
$4,000.
The great trip across the American continent
which was made by Mr.. Allen and Prof. Platt
last year began on May IA, 1889. On that date
the two horsemen left the West End riding
academy in West 125th street. 1t was Septem-
Der Il when they reached San Francisco. They
had spent in the saddle lis days in all, the bal
ance Of the time consumed during the trip
representing stops made at Salt Lake CITY, Dem
yer and various other western towns. In the
far west they changed their eastern riding Co.'S
tunes for regulation cowboy suits, and each
had his six-shooter and bowie. Their adyen-
lures during their long trip were both numer-
GUS and exciting. The cost Of the trip was
about $1,000. Chum and Willie were the horses
total mileage of the journey in an air line was
g. 5o2 miles

WHY DON'T THEY DO 1T?
Because They Will Not, and That Set
ties 1t.

From the Chicago Herald
Why is 1t that woman can't 60 into store
and buy what she wants off-hand without ex-
aiming the entire stock in several places?
Frank Bowers Of the Brewer house, New York
city. asks this question. He says the same state
of affairs exists here as in the east, and he fails
to understand why woman cannot do like a
mango into the first place she comes to, ask
for what she wants, pay for it and get out. The
other afternoon, he says. he was in q leading
hatters place, having his silk hat half-soled and
heeled while he waited, when in came woman,
who asked to be shown q silk hat One was pro-
duced. Let me see something else, please"
said the lady. Now this Arm has only about
one shape for each season, but the Obliging
clerk brought down a couple of dozen hats.
No one but an expert could see any differ
ence In them, but the lady examined each Que
critically. While she was thus engaged man
walked in and said to another clerk: "A silk
hat, please-small T." The required size was
produced, the man put it On, glanced in the
mirror and reached for his money. Il think a
hat with brim about q quarter OF an inch
wider would suit your face better. SIR" said the
clerk, and he handed one out. That's better"
said the man, rs he tried it on and looked i'll
the glass. Then he threw down bill, gave his
address, took his change and walked out. He
had been in the place but five minutes. Mean
time the lady kept up her inspection. Before
she gave her decision six men had come i'll and
bought hats. Her decision was that she would
call again. No wonder Bowers cannot under
stand it

acted at Purvis lastJuly are strongly emphasized

The "Fry the Eato Circular.

At the continuation of the republican league

ton plan for the raising of funds Along with
Mr.. Daggett and Mr.. Humphreys he attended

suggested that he, Foster, would be the best to
go before the national committee to have funds
appropriated for the league. He went and they
allotted $1,000, which was received through
Mr.. Daggett. Gov. 2. f. Lounsberry arranged
the system for the payment of bills, which was
by check drawn upon the treasurer and signed
by the president and secretary

national committee bound to pay the claims of
Tallmadge and Martin. He could give no
reason why it was not presented to the COM
mittee instead of to Gen. Dudley. The hearing
was then adjourned till Saturday morning.

The third meeting OF the series was held at
the Methodist church Monday night. very
large congregation was present, and after short
addresses by the pastors prayer meeting was
held. During the progress Of this service the
Rev. Mr.. Hughes pastor OF the Presbyterian
church. was called Oh TO pray. In the course of
his invocation he introduced the articles OF the
faith Of his church. He was interrupted by
the Baptist minister. and. on their knees the
two preachers fought over the doctrines of
their respective churches. while the congrega-
ton IN confusion rose to its feet and crowded
about the two GisputaItS, who bombarded each
other with Bible quotations, dcnomina tional
arguments and sharp retort. The audience
was becoming noisy; there were indie lions of
more serious trouble, which might have ended
IN blows, II nothing worse, when the IL thodist
pastor took the pulpit denounced the proceed
ings as a disgrace to the place, the occasion
and the religion all present protested, and,
ordering the congregation out, declared he
would not permit such shameful scenes in his
church
No service has since been held in any of the
churches. The congregation o. the two dis

they compare him to "a rat falling into scale
and weighing itself" OVERRIDING a thing they
call "a hunchback making a bow" spend
thrift they compare to a rocket which goes OFF
at once. Those who expend their charity on
remote objects, but neglect their family, are
said Ito hang a lantern on rope, which Is seen
