THIS WILL SUIT WALL STREET
Windom's Plan to Ease the Money
Market.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Assistant
Secretaries Spaulding and Nettleton,
of the treasury department, had con-
ference with the president this after
noon with regard to the financial situ-
alton and with the view of affording re-
lief to the money market. The follow
ing circular was issued from the secre-
tary's office, treasury department, late
in the day:
In pursuance Of the authority contained In
sections 1854 and 3699 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States, public notice is
hereby givensthat diaper cent bonds of the
acts of July ID. 1870, and Jan. 20, 1871, to
an amount not exceeding Sl5, ,000,000, Will
be redeemed with interest to and including
May 81, 1890. upon presentation at the
treasury department IN the city of Washing
ton, ID. c.. on or before the 30th day of Au-
gust. And any person desiring to present
such bonds for redemption on these terms at
the Office of any assistant treasurer of the
United States may do SO upon applying for
and receiving the requisite authority from
W. WINDOW. Secretary.
An official of the treasury department,
referring to the foregoing notice, said ::
''This announcement does not super
sede that OF July 25, 1890, in regard to
the purchase of per cents of 1907, but
offers of per cents will continue to be
received and purchases made as here
tofore. until further notice. As all the
~ per cents mature Sept. l, 1891, the
present offer respecting the $4,000, 900
is equivalent to paying for them par and
interest to maturity, less the current
quarters interest. 1t would seem that
holders of AZ per cents who decline the
present offer prefer to loan their money
for the next twelve months at Is per
cent per annum rather than receive it
cents outstanding is a fraction over
s106, $4,000 of which amount about
s39,OOo,0 belongs to national banks
and is held by the United State treas
urer to secure bank circulation.''

Opinion on the Subject from One Who Ie
Supposed 60 Ne an Expert
A cigar dealer ON Park Row gives
lesson to an Evening Sun reporter on
now to smoke for pleasure.
Few people know how to smoke
cigar to enjoy it, I" said he. Most men.
after buying their cigars, stick them be
tween their teeth and gnaw the ends off
recklessly, tearing and loosening the
wrapper in many instances, light their
cigars, and puff away as if their very
lives depended ON finishing them In
many instances the finest cigar will burn
wregularly, and smokers lay the blame
on the cigar. The cigar may be to blame,
but in most instances the fault lies ia the
way it is handled. After the cigar has
been bought the end should be cut
smoothly off by the clipper. The reverse
end should be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This removes
all the little particles of dust which can
not be avoided in manufacture, and pre-
vents them from being inhaled into the
throat and from producing coughing.
The cigar should then be lighted, and
particular attention should be paid to its
being thoroughly ignited all over the
surface of the end. Instead of putting
away like a steam engine, three or four
puffs every minute make the best way In
which to enjoy the smoke. The smoke
should be kept in the mouth a short time
in order to appreciate the flavor. Then
it should be emitted slowly. In case one
side of the cigar should burn and leave a
ragged edge ON the other side, il is not
necessary to relight it, as l have seen
many people do. A gentle blow through
the cigar, toward the lighted end, will
ignite the ragged side. and it win burn
regularly. Smoking this way is pleas
ure. 1t frets me to see man smoking
cigar who does not know how to enjoy it.

1.oxars, Stationery.

A fad in writing paper is what is
called lovers stationery. 1t is a fine
note paper, delicately tinted, the most
fashionable shade being light pink The
water mark, to be detected by holding
the sheet up to the light, is blending of
two hearts, pierced by an arrow. In the
lower corner of each fourth page or re-
verse of each second half sheet, appears
what at first sight looks like blemish.
But this is the charming feature of the
novelty: it is the kissing spot, for hero
the correspondent presses his or her lips,
and thus salute is waited to the absent
lover The kissing spot is about the size
Of shilling (25 cent piece and is covered
with thin aromatic gum that imparts
to the lips pleasant odor and taste. A
more ingenious bit of maudlin senti-
mentality could hardly be devised. yet
we must all confess that it is of just such
innocent and inane folIies that the Joy Of
human life largely consists. - Chicago

Professor Elihu Thompson, in speak
ing on @The Problems Of the Future, {"
says: I'm the near future railways will
berun by electricity; not the small re ads,
/ mean, but really the large ones con-
Meeting cities, and there is no reason why
we should not expect higher speed than
we attain at present with our steam loco
motives. There we have reciprocating
parts that must be put in motion,
stopped and reversed continually, while
in the electric locomotive we have the
simple rotary motion, which makes it
possible accordingly to run at much
higher rate of speed. Although the
steam locomotive has been very much
improved, yet it can hardly compare
with the economy Of stationary engines,
placed where they can have an abundant
water supply for condensing purposes.
We can, therefore, by employing sta
tionary engines and electric roads, do
away with a great deal of unnecessary
weighG, and, the moving parts being
symmetrical, we can attain q higher
speed-say hundred miles an hour.
This would be a grand step forward,
which would save US a great deal of time.
It might even be possible to reach speed
Of $50 miles an hour; it simply depends
upon finding the method of applying
sufficient power, and building the loco
motives to suit, arrangements being
adopted to keep the cars on the track.

BIIL.


Bill
There is probably no better known
uame throughout the entire length and
breadth of this country than that of
Buffalo Bill. and at this time there are
but few who do not know that William
F. Cody is the bearer of the title. Mr..
Cody, however, is not the original Buff
falo Bill There is nothing under
handed nor illegitimate in his bearing it.
He il fully entitled to it. but for all that
he comes by it second handed. The
original Buffalo Bill is now living, an
aged wealthy, prominent, and highly
respected citizen and the president of a
savings bank at Wichita, Kan. His
name is William Matthewson. He is a
thorough Democrat and is high up in the
order of Odd Fellows. Years ago Mr..
Matthewson was bold frontiersman on
the plains, engaged in hunting and trap
ping for living. He supplied the forts
i'm Kansas and Nebraska with buffalo,
and his success in this work was so great
that he was given the title of Buffalo
Bill. During this time he engaged a boy
to work for him, and the Lad was so
dihgent and faithful that he remained
in Matthewson's employ until the latter
quit the business to settle down to q
more quiet life. AS a reward the em-
ployer turned over the hunting contracts
to the employee, who then followed in
his late masters footsteps. That he was
successful, that he earned honor, fame,
and wealth for himself, can not be de-
MED when it is told that his name is
William F. Cody. With the business
rights he was given the title that his
former employer had borne. The world
knows he has kept it bright and that
neither stain nor tarnish has touched it

FLIES CALL THE GUESTS.

An EngIishman's Tale About the Queer
est Hotel on Earth.
"The queerest hotel in the world is in
Gautemala City, Central America, said
an English tourist to a Chicago Herald
man. "While there few weeks ago
stopped day at the biggest hostelry,
and met with more surprises than have
previously encountered in my trip around
the world. The house is built only one
story high on account of the earthquakes.
1t is constructed in the form of a hollow
square, and the interior court is made
beautiful with trees and flowers. The
exterior presents the appearance of a
prison. After pounding high knocker
on the outer door, you are ushered into
scene of verdant beauty. The hotel
was formerly the private residence of
one of the richest families of Central
America, but the owner was banished
by President Barrios for an alleged con-
spiracy against the government. Around
the interior were balconies overlooking
garden filed with orange and peach
trees, palms, and beautiful flowers.
@The fare was good, aud we had our
CtiOtCC Vi Bd1AANaACo W1OAA hOAAC1s AcAAs
poultry, fruits, and coffee and chocolate.
You can't eat there if you are in hurry,
though. Only one thing is served at a
time, and you can't get cup of coffee
until everything else has beer served.
The hotel furnishes candles, but matches
are extra. Then there is system of
calling the guests which entities the
hotel to the name of the queerest one on
earth You are called by flies The
flies down there are nearly as large as an
English sparrow, and they sting like a
hornet, though the bite is not poisonous.
They never kin them, but brush them
away. The halls of the hotels are filled
with these pests in the morning. Over
each door is q transom. Now, if you
leave call for o'clock your transom is
opened at and the flies go in Do they
wake you? should say so. The sensa-
ton is like that of being sandbagged.
In five minutes from the time your tram
som is opened you are down stairs look
ing for the proprietor. 1t doesn't do any
good to kick, though, for that system
nas been the custom for wears.
