Guatemala Concessions,

The sale of the Southern or Guatemalala
Central railroad has proved tiasco. The
Frenchmen did not come to time with their
81 ZOO, 900 loan, and, after extending the
time from week to week until yesterday.
which was the final day, the whole ar
rangement fell through, and Huntington's
people in New York telegraphed to their
agent in Central America to have nothing
further to do with the French men or with
the Guatemaltecos, as the Americans were
thoroughly Disguised with the many false
promises and unbuSineSslike methods of the
native spectators and their European COL
leagues. The people of Guatemala them
selves are also thoroughly disguised with
their government, and it is quite likely that
public indignation meeting will be held
to present the matter to Congress when it
opens on March l.
The real cause of the trouble is this same
railroad contract quoted above When
this contract was ratified by Congress, at
the special request of the president, the
government foolishly spent some thirty
or forty thousand dollars on big
spree and banquet to celebrate the event
Now the people are groaning over the waste
of money taken from an already impover-
ished treasury. All the government en-
ployes are months in arrears of salaries.
and the government is living a hand to
mouth existence at the mercy of brokers
and usurers, who loan money to the gov
eminent upon the daily hypothecation of
the national revenues. Touching upon
railroad matters, the concession of the
Guatemala Central railroad, granted in
1880, grants to that company the right to
build the Northern road referred to above
on the same terms as in the Cottu contract
but the late secretary of public works, Don
Salvador Barrutia, completely ignored the
clause in the Central railroad concession
and tried to rush another scheme through
Congress, but got defeated and had to re
sign.-Elchdnge.

COY NooKs AND CORNERS.
Little Retreats Where One May Enjoy
Quiet Moments.

CoZness in the decoration and arrangement
of our homes, says Laura B. Starr in The
Decorator and Furnisher, is the one condi-
ton we are all striving to attain at the pres
emit moment. No more the long, spacious
parlors, no more the large chambers, and
the larger sitting aud living rooms. Every
thing must be ''coZy and honey now. To
this end, as we cannot all rebuild our houses,
we break the long spaces by the liberal use of
screens and portieres, and make of vacant
corners the most tempting, coy hooks inn
aginatle,
The idea is q pleasing one, and it Is to be
hoped that it will not prove mere passing
fancy. One of the simplest of these arrange
ments, and one which an ingenious woman
may accomplish without help from the car
penter. consists of two large cushions stuffed
with excelsior; they should be from yard
and quarter to two yards square, and at
least foot and a half thick. They should
be stuffed very full and hard; the bottom of
the lower one should be covered with q piece
of oilcloth to protect it from wear and tear.
Blue denim may be used for covering, or any
handsome upholstery goods that matches or
harmoniZes with the general tone of the
room. When finished. they will fit into any
vacant corner, the special advantage of these
being that they are easily moved about.
Three or four down or feather pillows, GOV
cred with bright colored China silk, arranged
against the wall will make very comforta-
bic longing place.
a canopy of long, hanging drapery may
be arranged, if desired, but usually these are
not covered, although a japanese umbrella
raised over one gives = good effect. These
large cushions are especially useful in {
chamber not provided with q lounge of som,
sort; many tired body would be stretched
out for a little rest during the day We're i
not for the trouble of taking off the sham
and undressing the bed. In this coy nool
one may find rest without extra work
Still another way to bring about the SAM
effect is to have three cornered shelf bull
about foot from the floor, put full val
ance around this and Il large cushion upon it
and the thing is finished. The space under
meath will be found useful for storing boot

A more pretentious corner, though not so
large, was arranged in room which had a
dado of japanese mating. A triangular box
about the height of an ordinary chair was
made to fit and fastened there securely The
hinges should be put on the front or the lid
will not open well. The box made a con-
venient receptacle for newspapers, work bas-
ket, slippers, or any of the necessary debris
of daily use, which is sometimes unsightly.
A cushion was made to fit the top, and COW
cred with furniture plush; piece of the
same was tackled on smoothly across the
front. Another straight piece was fastened
to the wall behind the seat to the height of
the dado. Above this was stretched piece
of Chinese storm coat-plain mating will do
as well-upon which was painted the follow
ing lines.

Stars and Their Profits.

When Mr.. Irving first came to the United
States Mr. Abbey was his manager. The
English actor took share of the gross re.
ceipts without any guarantee, but his profits
were over 100000, and all the outlay he had
was to pay his company, business manager, q
writer to tell the story of his trip to English
papers, and two private secretaries. Mr.
Abbey paid Miss Terry out of his profits and
yet made big money. When Mrs. Langtry
made her first visit to America she took 8
shareof the gross receipts without guarantee
and her first season melted her over 500 COO

OF PETER JACKSON.
Will He Have a Fight with
John L. Sullivan
THE NEGRO AS A PRIZE FIGHTER
jackson Wouldn't Be in 1t if Sullivan Was
Fit Is the Opinion of Most of the
Sporting Men.

The latest news in heavyweight prize
fighting circles is the talk about the prospec
tive meeting between Peter jackson and
John l.. Sullivan. The latter is too well
known to need any comment in this article,
but the former is of peculiar interest both
because of his color and his physical attain
ments. jackson is probably the only pugil
list, excepting perhaps Slavin, the Austria
liam, who could furnish meat dignified with
sufficient skill and muscle to be hammered
on the Sullivan chopping block. 1t is very
likely that these two giants will face each
other in roped incloslre, although not
within six months. The reasons why match
will be made are chiefly financial ones Offers
of sums ranging from $4,000 to $50, 000 have
come from interested parties in New Orleans
and California in order to bring off the fight
in either of those localities
AS affairs are now with Sullivan a victory
over jackson would mean the filing of de
pleted pecketbook. His share out of the Xii
rain-Sullivan dispute at Richburg amounted
to less than S4.0e3 This sum has been ex-
pended in riotous living. Plans had been
perfected by Jack Barnett to form a COM
pans, with the big fellow as the central fig
ure, but the fascinations of Boston held him

abandoned. After Jackson's defeat of Jenl
Smith, when Sullivan was informed that the
California Athletic club had offered purse
of $4,000 for him and Jackson TO battle for
the champion said that such p sum was toe
small. With that air of easy assurance
however, for which he has always been noted
he said he was willing to meet the black, pro
sided theante of the black was raised 5000
and the winner got all the money. Wher
this news was conveyed TO jackson. he sale
he was willing to fight limited number Of
rounds The implication was that he wa.

Good railroad facilities are ne
cessary to the growth and development of
the city and the convenience of its inhabi-
tants. But rights of way for steam rail
roads through our streets should only be
granted where absolutely necessary, and
then in such manner as to cause as little
injury and inconvenience to the inhabitants
as possible, and only ON the consent Of
two thirds majority of the owners of real
property fronting on the street. No fex-
elusive street franchises to railroads
should hereafter be granted, but all steam
railroads coming in or going out OF the city
in the same direction should so far as prac-
ticable use the same right of way, and no
side tracks should be allowed on the streets.
forfeiture of a franchise should follow
persistent neglect to comply with its terms.
No freight trains should run through popu-
lous parts of the city and no cars should be
unloaGed or left standing on the streets or
sidewalks.
All railroads should conform to the
proper grade of the streets, which should
be kept graded up to the top of the rails and
the street crossings of all railroads should
be planked the full width Of the streets and
sidewalks.
We pledge ourselves to lend our aid and
influence to induce all railroad companies

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
