Steamship Treasure Rooms.

The safe or treasure-rooms of the
leading transatlantic steamers are in
teresting structures They are so art.
fully concealed and contrivcd and so
strongly built that with single excep-
ton, that of a Pacific liner carrying
gold dust on long voyage, we believe
they have never been robbed. In some
vessels these safe vaults are placed
amidships, in some aft, but they are al.
ways at the bottom of the ship, below
everything else, and practically right
on the keel. The room is generally
some eight or ten feet square and high,
and built of iron plates three or four
inches thick and it is furnished with
such formidable array of locks, bolts
and bars as to strike dismay to the
the hearts of even the deftest and most
experienced burgiars.-London Irtn.

is nothing more or less than a pro-
gressive pie party, and I'll tell you
how it goes. | generally have eight
couples
'Instead of having the game in the
parlor, l give it in the dining-room.
There are four tables spread, simply in
white, with big jug of milk in the
center of each, and set with four plates.
Everybody being seated, tap lit
tie bell, and a waiter comes marching
with tray, on which he bears sixteen
pieces of pie, each on separate plate
of course. Each guest is served with
piece.
"They can have any kind they like
best, providing the young man and the
young lady composing couple take
the same kind.
"Then l tap the bell again and every
body eats. The couple that gets
through nrSt goes 10 the mead OF the
table, replacing couple, who take
their places. l generally give four
rounds for a game, and in case of a tie
let them try it once more.
'They may drink all the milk they
like, of course. Sometimes it gets very
exciting. Some will eat sparingly at
first, but come in like forty in the
homestretch. Others will do just the
opposite.
"They all pronounce it great sue.
cess, and my parties have grown very
popular. The only thing that handi.
caps us is the scarcity of good pie at
this time of the year. 1t would make

ness of the whole affair it was one of
the grandest house-warmings the world
ever knew, and everybody was at full
liberty to come and go at will. Outside
it was not so pleasant The unfinished
grounds were for the most part sea of
yellow, sticky mud which adhered to
boots and clothes and rendered walk
ing anything but pleasant. 1t was no
uncommon sight to see a person plas-
tered to the knees with mud, and as for
patent leather, well they were in it all
over, and no help for it. But the peo-
pie seemed to take it all good naturally
and trudged about apparently unmind-
full of the damage to boots or clothing
The most striking objects outside of
the buildings were the great statue of
the Republic and the McMonnics foun-
tain. The statue was uncovered for
the occasion and in its new coating of
gilt presented a magnificent sight.
This piece of sculpture is undoubtedly
one of the grandest in the world, and
must certainly bring to Mr.. French, its
author, worldwide fame. The foun-
tain which for the first time scattered
its crystal sprays abroad on the open
ing day is work of surprising beauty
Mr.. McMonnies, its maker, has builded
so well in this effort that his name will

Now that the hustle and confusion of

comfort the condition of affairs at the

owing to the vast number of visitors
and the bad weather, anything like ait

"And to think that while was writ

face lighted by happy smile. 81 was
compelled to take chapter from my
own life just at that moment, and it
would have been almost impossible
either to have checked the impulse to
write or to have altered my incidents in
any way"

Ethel Harcourt found it difficult to

as simply as child she laid her hands
in his. After long conversation, moro
interesting to themselves than to any
one else, Ethel said:
"You will promise me never to let

Meeting of the Committee Last Night to
Conainer LIS onditiou.

Consider Its onditiOn.
Acting under a resolution recently
passed by Council, the Committee on
Cemeteries met last evening, TO con-
slider the condition OF the old cemetery
at the east end Of Sixteenth street, and
determine, if possible, what would be
best to put an end 10 the existing order
Of things there.
The subject was introduced by DR..
Caddle, who reviewed the situation, aud
stated that two things could be done:
either have the cemetery declared a
public nuisance, upon application TO
Court, and remove the bodies to the
City Cemetery, reimbursing the lot
owners for the original cost OF the lots;
or have the city take charge of the
cemetery as il is, and fix it up and main
tain it.
The matter was discussed for quite n
time, aud then DR.. Caddle offered the
following resolution:- .
"RcSolred, That tina portion Of the Third
ward now occupied by what IS known as
the East Wheeling grave yard is in such a
neglected, unca ed for n dIsgraceful con-
dition as 10 warrant action by this Com
AAALLG&N III = ~ "a AN Aa1k k11NN 'HNA
one or two exceptions, those buried there
have been abandoned and forgotten by
their relatives; that it is the sense OF
this Committee that said burial
grounds be declared a puOlic
nuisance; that we recommend
such action TO Council. with a further
recommendation that the Solicitor immedi-
ately proceed according TO ordinance, and
that the grounds be appropriated to use TOR
public purposes; all persons owning lots IN
said cemetery, and proving their claims
thereto, to be reimbursed the purchase
price.
This was unanimously adopted by the
Committee.
A general discussion ensued as TO the
urgency Of putting the proposed action
into force as soon as possible, TO the
ends that not only might the eyesore be
speedily abated, but men in need OF
work tie given employment at removing
the bodies and putting the lots in good
order. The members Of the Committee
agreed that they would urge the matter
upon other members Of Council, that
there might be prompt and effective
action on the part OF the city.
The Committee discussed a number
Of matters connected with the city
cemetery, including the laying out Of
some additional lots, and the making Of
a map Of the entire cemetery. This
latter project has been before Council
N various stages a NUMBER of times,
but it has been allowed to go by de-
fault, largely owing to the cost.
Last night the Committee again
agreed it ought to be done, but there it
was again allowed to end.
