Prince Gregoire Stourdza commenced
proceedings against his half-sister, for
the purpose OF compelling her to sur.

fortune due to him, as the eldest sen,

commenced in October, 1887, ut Paris,

Spending Money at Home.

Those persons who believe that ex-
travagance, like charity, should begin
at home will derive much satisfaction
from the theory advanced BY Mr.. Henry
Clews that the cholera scare may yet be
worth a great many millions Of dollars
to this country. 'Asiatic cholera is a
disease naturally foreign to our coun-
try" said Mr.. Clews to the writer. .sIt
is epidemic only in foreign lands. The
cholera scare is therefore likely to impel
people on this side Of the Atlantic TO
forego their annual foreign travelin.,
and sightseeing and do their own
country instead Of undertaking the dan
gerous tour of Europe. If Americans
can be made to realize that to leave their
own country is to incur the danger of
getting cholera bacili into their sys-
TENS, the aforesaid cholera scare will
have served a good purpose and be a
great gain to this country. do not
hesitate to say that the army Of Ameri-
can travellers abroad each year spends at
least 500, 100000. II this amount can
be cut down one-half that sum, which
should be- done to restrain our national
extravaganza within the bounds Of rea-
son, immense advantage would accrue

Guests Loot a Marquee,

~ " ~ =
A singular scene, resulting in the de-
struction by crowd of 1000 people OF a
marquee and the looting OF provisions,
took place at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire,
on Thursday evening. A grand fete had
been arranged by Lord de Ramsey to
celebrate the return of the Hon. Ailwyn
Fellowes, NJ P, for North Hunts.
About 1000 persons had been invited, in
relays of l 200 at time, to tea, which
was arranged in marquee in the
grounds.
A shower Of rain made the crowd
rush for shelter to the marquee, which
was already full. A scene of indo-
scribable confusion ensued. The crowd
made an attack upon, the provisions,
walters were knocked down and clean
sweep made of the tables, much Of TIE
crockery being destroyed. The caterer
cutting off the supplies, the mob pro
ceeded to the store and wrecked it, de-
molishing the provisions. A body Of po-
lice attempted to dispense the rioters,
but only partially succeeded. Lord and
Lady de Ramsey witnessed the scene
from the balcony Of the abbey.-Lon-

Outdoor Figs IN Maine.

For about four years Mr.. E. z. Whit
ney, whose place is about a mile from
Harrison village, has successfully raised
a crop Of figs. The figs are when fully
ripe as large as medium sized pears,
and mellow and delicious, not to be told
in appearance and flavor from the
southern grown, and the trees bear
abundantly from six to eight on 4
branch. When Mr.. Whitney first began
their culture he would in the fall, by
advice Of southern growers, bury the
tree in position by cutting the roots each
side and bending the tree into trench
prepared for it. By experiment. later he
learned that the better method was to
dig up the tree and transplant it to the
cellar. It is quite hardy and will en-
dure considerable cold, and is little af-
fected by transplanting. In the spring
it is easily set out again. The fruit
ripens quite early in the fall. A cutting
from the tree takes root readily, and
this ofshoot comes in bearing during
the second year. lewiston Journal.

Sapho and Eer, Son.

The latest odd character to appear IN
the city is known in the down town sa-
looms as Sapho. Sapho is black wom-
an Of unusual height, and her powerful
figure is that Of an Amazon queen. She
dresses rather Enthusiastically, and carries
a banjo Of the largest size, on which she
plays with power and no inconsiderable
skill, and she sings strange, weird At
rican songs in some native tongue as She
strums out the refrain upon the instru-
ment. Sapho is always accompanied by
a little colored boy of exceptional black
ness and the most timid and nervous
disposition. He clings to her skirts all
the while she is playing, and when lie
passes his hat for money seems afraid he
will be cuffed. Sapho will.not be drawn
into conY ersation. but scowls at all who
address her, and altogether is strange
and unique character among the human
oddities of the city's surface life. Phila

peatedly the past few weeks by persons
who appreciate the fact that never be-

it thus: ''Waal, yer see that this ere is

Could He Use Ticket for His Own Corpse?
Can live man travel on a ticket call
ing for first class passage for corpse?
This novel question confronts the Santa
Re road, and the decision will be watched
with interest by other lines. Some weeks
ago Harry Knight, of Denver, was taken
to St. Lukes hospital in this city. His
case seemed hopeless. and his sister in
Denver was so Informed. She thereupon
bought a round trip ticket--De Denver to
Chicago herself, and a return"
ticket for a body in a casket. She can Q

He rallied, and so far recovered that he
was able to go home. AS a ticket had
been bought and paid for he proposed to
use it, although not, as had been ex-
pected, as the occupant Of coffin. He
tried to obtain passage upon the ticket
but difficulties met him at every point
The ticket read, ''.Good for the passage
Of one human body contained in casket
from Chicago to Denver" The .shuman
body referred to rendered the ticket,
and the conductor did not know what's
do about it. He finally decided to take
the ticket and to leave the matter for
settlement with the company afterward.
Meantime Mr.. and Miss Knight are safe
at home in Denver. Chicago Letter.

Brokers Have Fun with a Governor.

1t is barren subject out Of which

governor had put his foot in it. BY
Wednesday night the fun lovers decided
that the governor deserved sympathy on
the ground that he was the only man in
the land who would work Friday. Tele-
grams in this strain multiplied Thurs
day. and when business ended that day
messages enough were put on the wire
to make the day certainly one of labor

Tennyson's Dislike Of Anecdo,es.

It is a curious bit Of the irony of fate
that there should now be rife so many
tales and anecdotes Of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
to read or to listen to personal incidents
Of other great men. twas not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy Of his nature was supersensitive,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives Of others, just as he had a
horror Of others looking into his own
life. Yet half Of the literature about
the laureate consists Of anecdotes, and
Of these a large proportion relates to
that very dislike Of publicity NeW

A DELAYED Photograph.

ton was Postmaster ohm B. Emery, Of
Williamsport. When Mr.. Emery was
at the front in 1869 he had photograph
taken of himself and mailed to his
mother. She never received it, and the
picture was long since forgotten. Dur
ing the encampment the postmaster was
naturally interested in the dead letter
office. There is there collection CT
several thousand photographs that have
failed to reach their owners, and while
looking over them Mr.. Emery was as
tonished to find his own among them.
by unwinding the necessary amount OF
red tape the postmaster established his
claim to the photograph, and it was sent
to him few days ago. Washington
