Staggered by Finger Bowls.

a very amusing scene occurred once
while was serving lady and gentle
man of the unmistakable upstart type.
They we're grossly ignorant of the most
elementary rules of table etiquette, SHOW
cling the food into their mouths with
their knives, which We're constantly load
ed half way up to the handles. They
managed to struggle through their din
ner, SON etimes casting aside knives and
forks AMI attacking game and poultry by
cutting them in halves and eating from
their hands, holding the leg. Sometimes,
too, they became ridiculously polite by
carving bread with knife and fork, but
the climax came when l set two bowls
of rosewater before them as finger
glasses.
They looked at each other, and then
cautiously around the room, trying to
find some solution of the mysterious dish
before them, not having the sense to ig-
more it altogether. Whispered consulta-
tons took place, which presently grew
into suppressed quarrel, the lady re-
preaching her lord for his ignorance.
suddenly she was seen TO shake the wa
ter around and around, and finally, with
a look Of contempt and superior wis
dom, she raised the bowl to her lips and
drank all the contents. Needless to say
that the hearty laughter of the other di-
ners male them feel the mistake, and
they beat hasty retreat.-London Tit

BALTIMORE Sun: But better times
are coming with our return to
sounder monetary and tariff doc
trine. This country has enormous
powers of recuperation. 1t presents
tempting opportunities for the in
yestment of foreign capital. The
incoming of such capital has pros
perity, and it will return to us when
once assured that investments of
gold will not he repaid in depre-
ciated silver. The Sherman law has
since 1890 acted as a scarecrow to
foreign investors Its repeal will
cause them to flock back to a coun-
try where capital and labor win the
largest returns. Several years may
elapse before the full harvest, but its
coming will cause the present hard
times to be forgotten. Il can see
only prosperity for our people, 3"
says Mr.. Wells, ''when our economic
conditions are settled"

La Buses Portrait.

A photo graph of Eleanora Duse now
on exhibition attracts constant atten-
ton. The picture is far removed both
in expression and costume from the or
binary actress. The hair, guiltless Of
curl or bang, looks decidedly ''tousled, +"
a straight, disheveled lock straying
across the forehead. The face is neither
young nor beautiful and is ineffably
sad. The dark, melancholy eyes look
YEARLY away from the beholder Mime.

a good story is told about a gentle
man who lives in Brooklyn and crosses
at Fulton ferry nearly every day. He is
much prosecuted by the bore who al
ways accosts you on a ferryboat In mid
stream with the stereotyped question,
"Ah! are you going across?"
The other day one of these demons
hooked on to the Brooklyn man as usual

Tobacco is not cultivated in Egypt; the
manufacturers of tobacco in that country
employ our tobacco exclusively. Our
starting point, then, as against our
Egyptian competitor is so obviously
one of dominating advantage that
! will not expose myself to the
charge of wasting your time by expa-
tiation upon it. One other point to be
noted in this connection is that our blend
ing processes win be directed in view not
only of perfection of aroma, but also of
perfect innocuity.
"As regards America our position is no
less advantageous. Everything is dearer
in America than it is here and the
lowest quality of Turkish tobacco is bet
ter to smoke than the best quality pro-
duced in America"

III Aouch with Drexel, Morgan & Co.
Savannah, Ga, Oct. 9.-Editor Morn
ing News: Among some rather curious
views in your local of to-day about the
Central railroad co-receivership, I note a
mistake which is of sufficient Importance
TO the public to be corrected. The name
OF the new co-receiver is r. Somers
Hayes, and not Il. Summers Hay.
1t may be well to state also, that this
gentleman comes into the management of
the Central vouched for by the people
VINO nave the largest interests in 1t, as a
practical railroad man, Of the greatest
aolllty and experience; capable not only
OF managing roads, but of extricating
them financially, if this be possible. and
possessing the absolute confidence Of the
large financial corporations interested in
the Central. Add to this the iutimations
frankly given by Judge Jackson, that he
ala not contemplate a sale of the road at
any liked time, but wished to see what re-
suit management and better times would
bring about, and all our people interested
IN the Central have well founded reason
to nope that with Mr.. Corners practical
knowledge Of the road, and the assistance
OF the new man, the worst of the Central
railroad depression has been passed.
Nothing was said at the hearing to iu-
dictate that Capt, Hayes is appointed in the
interests of the Terminal company. They
neither nominated nor pressed him, but it
IS difficult to believe that any person was
advocated by the great creditors without
the hearty approval of Drexel, Morgan &
Co, the representatives of the 40, 900
shares. G. n. WEST.
