Mr.. Atkinson i'm America.

At the time of the arrival of II. J. Farmer
Atkinson, the British member of parlia-
ment for Boston, Lincolnshire, Newly ork
paper said:
It is fairly safe to predict that Mr.. Atkinson
will give more genuine pleasure to us than any
foreign visitor who has come here for many
years. When the American Methodists wero
In England he entertained them. He gave a
dinner to the bishops and caused no end of
fun by putting one black and then one white
bishop all the way around the table. That Is
sample Of what he can do as public enter
tainer.
When Mr.. Atkinson reached Washing
ton he verified the prediction by the course
he took in the conference. He criticised
Rev. Hugh Price Hughes for aiding de-
crepit party" otherwise the English Liber-
ais, and was in turn called on to repel the
charge Of Rev. DIR. Balmer that the Tories

The managers of the company brought
suit in the United States circuit court at
Trenton to recover 100000 from Mr.. Hoey,
and got their lien fixed on his valuable
property at Long Branch just two hours
before the gentlemen to whom Hoey had
mortgaged it arrived to put their mort
cages on record. AS the principal property
is the famous Hollywood hotel, lawyers
jocularly call this the "Race for the Holly

Mr.. Hoey has been noted in express and
financial circles for many years, and his

THE EXPRESS CONTROVERSY.

A Race to Secure Control of the Holly
wood Property.
The removal of Mr.. John Hoey from the
presidency of the Adams Express company,
after some forty years service in various
capacities, the appointment of Mr.. Henry
Sanford in his stead, and the hot fire of
charges and crosscharges are among the
sensations of the day. When the company
gave out that Mr.. Hoey had used his posi-
tion to make deals with smaller express
companies bought by the Adams, and in
such a way as to realize heavily. they seem
to have taken it for granted that he would
surrender at once. He makes fight, how
ever, and now the case must go through
