Entertaining Visitors.

We Americans are proud, and justly
so. of our reputation for hospitality, but
there is sometimes too much of good
thing, and we are often tempted into an
exaggeration OF this virtue. In many
well meaning hostesses there seems to
exist fear that their guests may find
some stray moments during the day for
which no entertainment has been pro-
vided. The unfortunate guests are kept
busy every minute "being entertained"
until physically and mentally they arc
exhausted. Not a few people object to
making visits, and simply for the reason
that they arc never left to themselves,
never have any time to occupy as they
choose.
English hostesses arc much more SEN
sible In this respect. In England guest
In o country house has q good part Of
the day to dispose Of as he or she may
fancy, and as a result, pleasant, home
like feeling much to be desired pervades
the atmosphere Of the house. Neither
host nor hostess appears to be laboring
to provide perpetual entertainment for
their guests. and the latter have plenty
Of time to write their letters, read their
books and enjoy other like peaceful
amusements. In town house a mascu-
line visitor receives q night key rs n

Early Rising In tho Metropolis.


Two women who spent week in New
York the last of June kept quiet about
one of their experiences until day or
two ago, when they confessed the joke
too good to keep.
They were aunt and niece and entirely
unused to the city. On the morning after
their arrival the niece discovered on con-
sulting her watch that they had slept
late, as it was 500, and waking her aunt
the two dressed rs fast as possible and
started for breakfast.
They had rooms in West Sixteenth
street near Fifth avenue and intended to
breakfast at the st. Denis. They walked
on placidly, struck with the quiet of q
great city on q summers morning and
interestedly looking about them till 1t
seemed as If they had accomplished dis
lance enough to reach their destination.
The neighborhood, too, had grown very
common and shabby, and at last they ac-
costed a workingman whom they met.
He laughed when he heard that they
wanted Broadway.
"In a block more" said he, you'll be
at the river" and true enough they were
close upon Eleventh avenue.
They turned, and having no idea Of
the actual distance walked all the way
east to the hotel, wondering and COM
menting on the remarkable absence Of
hustle in the streets.
When they finally reached the restau-
rant, it was to find 1t almost deserted,
and their inquiry for breakfast met with
word that they would have to wait for it
short time.
"Waitr exclaimed the aunt, "why,
what time do New Workers breakfast"
mot many" replied the man, Eat a
quarter past g."
The nearsighted niece had read the
watch wrong and had got her aunt and
herself up at 90 minutes to 4 o'clock

Editors and Proprietors.

We had great many trials to con-
tend with in getting our paper printed
last week. One OF the editors went TO
Baltimore and superintended the work
as hest he could owing TO his being
sick, and after having completed his
work he left the city ON Thursday
night with the promise that the paper
would be shipped by express the next
day. 1t was-shipped to Crisfield and
we waited and waited, telegraphed and
telcgraphed /; finally it reached us on
Tuesday and was put in the Postofiice.
Ii was not what we desired it to he
but we had in it advertisements which
had to be published. We intend to
make the MESSENGER a better paper
now than ever before, although We are
heavy Losers by the fire. We ask the
patronage of all those who have favor
ed us in the past and all others who
feel inclined to assist progressive
newspaper. Mr.. Petit editor Of the
Press saved a great deal of his type
and with this and new material are
have purchased in the city, we get out
this issue of the MESSENGER, having
had the press-work done in an adjoin-
ing town. We thank our esteemed
contemporaries of this State and Della
ware for their kind words of sympathy
and also our numerous patrons, and
we ask those who owe us to please pay

THE RACE M EE1IN0.

The directors of the fair association
arc unable to say ut this time whether
a race meeting will be held in this city;
they are awaiting the return OF Presi-
dent Davidson before deciding upon any
plan. Tt will therefore be a week or
more before our citizens will be given
an opportunity to say whether or not
Helena will hold her place in the Mon
tana circuit.
The one thing certain is that the
meeting will not be held unless our CIT
liens subscribe a certs.in sum to guar
antee against loss. Tho association has
been running in debt each year in its
history in ordeg TO furnish this sport,
and its directors are quite right in re-
fuslng to Increase the indebtedness in
this way. 1t remains to be seen
whether our people think a subscrip-
ton Of a few thousand dollars worth
the price of the meeting. We believe
they will do it, and that the programme
will be- all right. At the same time
there may be more difficulties in the
way than We fancy, and it is therefore
necessary for ell to furnish both en-
couragement and financial support.
There ought not to be any delay, for
horsemen who come to the Montana
circuit are anxious to know whether it
will be worth their time to come with
the Helena meeting left out.
Let the meeting be held, OF course.
Helena has furnished better racing
thar any town in the state, and must
continue to hold her place at the top.

A OF ATTACK,

The Boston Herald suggests a very
sensible remedy for q bad lot of people.
1t says: "If there is a duck pond any
where in the vicinity of Wall street, 1t
would be q good idea for a vigilance
committee to organize and give the
false rumor mongers of that locality an
involuntary bath. They still persist in
coming and spreading reports affecting
the financial standing of banks, corpora
tions and individuals that are peculiarly
harmful just at this time. Let these
men be immersed"
That is the right talk, and if it ever
comes to action, Montana would like to
send a few veteran vigilantes to assist
in the work. If there were any grounds
for the dire mutterings Of Wall street,
concerning the financial situation, the
country would stop and listen, for from
that quarter are supposed to como the
best general views of such matters.
This, however, is a case where Wall
street men take advantage of unavoida-
BILE conditions and seek to terrify the
country into a panic. They first said
that the great and ove%rthreatening dan
ger was q depletion of gold in the treas
ury, caused by the governments pur-
chase of silver under the Sherman law.
Finally, the gold reserve was broken
into, the crisis was reached and safely
passed and Wall street was forced to
change it's cry Of alarm. 1t is now en-
deavoring to convert the recent run of
bank failures into another result of the
Sherman law and is meeting with about
the same degree of success. It is only
another part Of the game to stop the
governments purchase of all silver, and
this should be we'll understood by our
western and southern congressman when
they meet in September to fight the re-
peal.
