\. Bombay, the scene Of all this rioting,
is q most magnificent city, seated very
picturesquely ON two bays. The mod
ern portion Of the city IS second TO
none in the world in point OF beautful
buildings, both public and private. The
materials used in their construction are
mostly an olive tinted granite, light Col
ored sandstone, as well as dark brick.
The buildings are all of handsome de-
sign and moderately high. The streets
are very wide and kept scrupulously
clean. This applies only to the mod
ern portion of the city, which includes
almost all public buildings of any note.
The native dwellings are in q separ-
ate quarter of the town, and are in
their turn subdivided according to the
various races of the Inhabitants. The
activity and business hustle Of Bonn
bay would do credit even to Chicago.
Here are no laggards; everybody con-

One Of the minor titles borne by the
sovereigns of England ever since the
accession Of the House Of Hanover is
Sacri Romani Imperii, Archi- Thesaurus,
Arch Treasurer Of the Roman Empire.
The title dates back to Frederick, the
Elector Palatine, who held the office
stated, but for ages after his time it's
duties were performed by deputy.
They do not relate to the treasury, but
to certain matters connected with pub
lic ceremonies. It was originally the
right of this official to carry the crown
before the emperor at the coronation
and to distribute coin as largess
among the people during the ceremon.

it with precious essences.
The commercial interests Of Bombay
are simply vast. Always favorably sit
uated for foreign trade, it has profited
very largely by the reopening of the,
ancient thoroughfare through Egypt,
thus saving more distance in proportion
than any commercial center in the east.
1t lies in the direct line between Madras
and Calcutta on the one side and Alden
on the other. When our civil war
caused sudden cessation Of American
supplies Bombay began to export cot
ton in vast quantities ana has succeed
ed in maintaining most Of this trade
up to date. It's population can safely
be set down at 100000 souls, though
it is subject to the curious fluctuations
Of all eastern cities.
In view Of the disturbed condition of
the natives all the public buildings are,
now guarded by troops and the gun
boats in the harbor have been cleared
for action and brought into position to.
cover the native quarters. So long %.
the natives are content to kill one an
other and not molest the Europeans or
their property the authorities are loath
to interfere, as it always serves to ex.
cite instead of quieting the rioters.

The first annual exposition of the
Interstate Grain Palace associat ation will
be held at Aberdeen, s. D., from Sept.
IL to "a, inclusive. A fine building,
as per accompanying Illustration, has
been erected by the enterprising busi-
ness men and citizens Of that locality,
which will be elaborately decorated,
both on the inside and outside, by the
grains and grasses, showing the Won
derful products of the Western prairies,
the farmers paradise.
Space will be provided for exhibits
from the various counties of both
North and South Dakota.
5000 in Premiums
TO the county making the best showing
has already caused a strong but friend
ly rivalry as to which shall have the
best display Of grain and general prod
ucts, and there will be some twenty
competitors.
The Fourth regiment band of Sioux
City, which proved such drawing card
at the Lake Madison Chautauqua as
sembly, and is regarded as the finest
musical organization in the West, has
been engaged for the opening week,
to be followed by attractions of like
merit during the second week.
Harvest excursions will be run from
Chicago and the East, and the number
of Eastern visitors who will want to see
the country promises to be unusually
large.
The decorations by means Of grains,
grasses, ETC., will surpass any ever be-
fore seen in this part of the West. This
feature of the undertaking is in the
hands of the Misses Purvis, whose repu-
tation is already far reaching, as their
work on the Minnesota exhibit at the
Worlds Fair is regarded by artists as
the finest in it's line to be found upon
the grounds.
Special features and attractions nave
been arranged, and the two weeks de-
dicated to this enterprise will be full
of genuine Western hustle.
The building is located upon the
principal street of the city; is 9OxlOS
feet, with two main entrances and four
large towers, and contains seating
capacity in the main audience room,
aside from the space allotted exhibit
ors, for 1000 people. The decorations
of grain are fashioned and wrought
into pictures of beauty, displaying great
taste and skill, and will be the admira-
ton of all. 1t must be seen to be ap-
preciated.
The travelling men, the Knight Tenn
plars and Shriners, the farmers, the
Pythias, the A. o. U. W., the G.. A.
r. and the women of the state will all
have special days and arrange appro-
pirate exercises for the occasion.
This palace will attract the atten-
tion of thousands upon thousands Of
people to- the Dakotas. Every county
in the two states should send in ex-
hibits, so that few counties in the i'm

While the dispatches from Bombay
to England aver that the serious riot
ing in that city is the result OF religious
fanaticism, this is hardly to be cred
tied. The real source Of the trouble
lies in the deep-rooted hatred that the
natives bear towards their English mas
ters, says the Chicago Herald. AS
matter Of course the natives do not
discriminate between the different ma
tionalities in cases like this, and con-
seuuently all Europeans are made to
feel the brunt of the natives wrath.
ENGLAND now, as well as on former oc-
casions, uses this very thing as a pre-
text for enlisting the foreign consuls'
aid in restoring order. All the foreign
ers are made to serve as peacemakers
and help the English to impress their
vast power upon the natives. After
this ruse had been successfully played
during similar disturbances in 1874 the
English authorities had circulars scat
tered broadcast among the natives pro-
calming that all nations Of the world
were ''vassals' of England and ready
to obey her cali at all times.
Now as then religion is used as
| cloak for covering up the political in
trigue. The priests never cease to work
for the one object-the determination
Of the hated Englishmen. While Mo-
hamUedans, Hindoos or other factions
seemingly are at war with one another
they are in reality moved by one secret
motive, and, perhaps, sooner or later
| will accomplish their desire in over
throwing the 'accursed tyrants of In
| dia.' This is the common appellation
given to Englishmen all over India.
The natives are gradually learning to
appreciate their strength and when the
| final struggle comes it viii be bloody
| and ferocious.
OF late linda has been unusually quiet;
even the annual murmurings against
| the oppressive taxation have been alb
sent. Who knows but what this peace
full condition of things has been but the
| forerunner of a cyclonic Outburst of a
revolution that might lose for England
its most treasured possession. A curl
Gus feature of these semi-political and
religious riots, or whatever you please
to call these outbreaks, is their re-
markable longevity. At present, for
instance, the riots are rampant in Bonn
bay; here they may in all probability
be easily suppressed, but as likely as
| not they will break out with renewed
vigor in the most unexpected spots.
This is what makes the English decided.
~ nervous. If they shall succeed in re-
storing quiet it will take them years to

The Bureau Of Education at Wash
ington has done good piece of work
in the monograph which has just been
sent out from the Government Print
ing Office on Shorthand Instruction
and Practice" by Mr.. Jules Ensign
Rockwell. In 1884 he published cir
cular Of information on the teaching,
practice and literature of shorthand.
Twenty thousand copies were distribut-
ed, and another edition of equal size
has since been exhausted. The present
work furnishes not only an account
of shorthand in foreign countries and
In the United States, but very nearly
the full statistics of instruction from
1880 up to the summer of 1891 in this
country, with an account of the ex-
tent to which stenographers have been
employed in courts, in legal decisions
and in other public services. There
are thousands Of shorthand societies
in Germany, in France, in England and
in this country, whose work, is to dis
seminate knowledge Of the art, and
! the Introduction Of shorthand into the
public schools is to be one of the next
steps in secondary education. The
| typewriter is next to the shorthand
system as a labor-saving instrument,
and the shorthand systems and the
principal typewriting machines have
| already wrought O revolution not only
| in the courts, but in business Offices
| in the writing done for newspapers
and in every department Of life where
writing is indispensable. Until speed
can be reached on the typewriter equal
i to that which can be obtained by ex.
pert stenographers, stenography will
| take the lead as q system by which the
spoken word can be taken down ex
actly as it is uttered and made to serve
the purposes for which it is designed

country the number OF persons receiv

and of this number 23,325 were males

HE PRESSED THE BUTTON.

The average hotel clerk is very dull
individual in some particulars. Asso-
ciating with people from all over the
country, he seems to ABSORB no informa-
ton whatever, nor even to BE- able to
recall single good joke ont of the
many he daily hears. If the hotel clerk
would improve his opportunities when
young and keep a record of the bits of
information and humor he hears he
could have in old age a collection Of
history and humor whose publication
might make him independent.
But some hotel clerks are different.
One Of those who keeps his eye open
for everything funny and everything in
structive is Charles Elliott at the KEN
nedy, who, however, is more of man.
ager than a clerk.
"A man came here from North Geor-
gia," he said the other day, land hay
ing registered was shown up to his
apartment. 1t was a hot day, not any
cooler than it has been for the past
month, and the bell boy said to him
when they reached the room, IF you
need any ice water just press this but
ton near the door, The countryman
looked at the button with a perplexed
air, but said nothing. However, he must
have kept thinking about it and deter
mined to try it, for the boy had hardly
got back to the Office before the call
to his room began to ring and kept up
furiously. The boy went tearing back
up stairs to see what was the matter.
He opened the door and saw a sight
that nearly killed him. The country
man was standing with his thumb on
the button, holding the pitcher under it.
Say he said, with an innocent
smile at the boy, 'whar does dis water
cum from? It's durn long time git
tin here!"

statement of statistics an Mr.. Rockwell

the vast extent OF the use of short

the departments of life. Stenography
has come to stay, and typewrting has
come to stay with it, and the two,
combined with the telegraph and the

in the party had the misfortune, while
eating her breakfast, to get a small
fish bone IN her throat. It did -lot
strangle her, but gave her considerable
discomfort, and every effort to dislodge
1t failed. Fears were entertained that,
unless the bone was taken out it would
cause Inflammation, and SO The sufferer
was taken in a row boat and a visit
made to a neighboring island in search
OF assistance. The bone could bc seen
Just back Of the tonsils, but how to get
ut it was the question. In the search
for aid a dentist was found, but he had
no instruments with which to perform
the operation. At length, as a trial
a visit was made to rather pretentious
cottage on one Of the islands where
some wealthy people were staying, and
though they searched they could ind
nothing among their household utcnsils
