But One Painting OF Kossuth,

But one artist ever succeeded IN
prevailing upon kossuth to sit for
his portrait. This was Nine. lima
Parlaghy, Hungarian portrait
painter, who about seven years ago
gained admission to his household
through the kindness of one of his
nieces, who advised her to don the
picturesque hungarian costume and
come to the house some afternoon at
tea time. Kossuth was charmed and
Mime. Parlaghy went again and again,
each time carefully noting the aged
patriots facial expressions, and
working afterward from memory
After the fifth visit, however. the
artist in despair exclaimed to the
niece that she was stuck and could
never finish unless given a regular
sitting and would have to return to
Pesth with her artistic reputation
ruined. The next day she was sur
prised by visit from kossuth, who
explained to her that he had come to
look at the Glover piece he had
heard she was painting. On being
shown the portrait Kossuth at first
seemed very indignant. but finally
said: well, now that thou didst
succeed so well, / suppose | must
help thee to finish the canvas |
cannot afford to spoil the artistic
reputation Of one of my fair country
women" The sittings commenced
the following day, and the artist was
enabled to finish the porCrait to her
satisfaction.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
IS thoroughly complete with vesti-
Duled trains. magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds; and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

Some OF the Many Curious Sights to ~"
Observed by American VISITOR.
To an American visitor the streets
succession OF curious pictu es. Iney
are different in every respect rom
what one Is accustomed to zee at
home. They are 50 narrow that Two
vehicles can hardly pa 5 each other.
They are paved with rough stones:
the sidewalks average sbout e;g teen
inches in width, and pc lestrians have
to walk single file. and in oder to
pass any one are forced TO step into
the road. In the st Gets are seen
clumsy carts. broad and heavy, vet
drawn by G single mule, whose de-
fective locomotive power il compen
stated for by excessive decoration.
The mules harness Is studded with
brass ornaments. Over his forehead
on each side hang large tassels of
scarlet. To complete this costume
there is a huge bunch OF bells
fastened between his shoulders. The
negroes who drive these carts wear
clothes of linen, originally white, and
caps of red wGOlen stuff. For draw
ing timbcrs oxen are yoked to pair
of great wheels. From the axle the
timbers are suspended, projecting
over the heads OF the oxen and trail
ing on the ground behind Every
omnibus is hung with curtains along
the sides, and a gong is constantly
ringing. Coach hire is cheap. the
charge being twenty cents for
double fare for ordinary distances.
The coaches are small victorias,
and are drawn by thin, little horses
some carriages with fine horses, and
livericd coachmen and footmen are
sometimes seen. Negroes carry all
burdens Oh their heads generally in
large, open, shallow baskets. Laun-
dresses may be seen balancing on
their heads a load of freshly ironed
linen. and they are followed by
women bearing from market supplies
of fresh fruit and vegetables, with a
live chicken peeping from the basket.
Droves of COWS with calves bleating
behind them are driven from door to
door and MIXED to order.
Strings of pack mules struggle
along laden with fodder corn tied in
so huge bundle on each side of the
animal that only the nose and feet of
the animal are to be seen. and each
mules halter is fastened to the tail
of the one next in front \ common
sight is the large, flexible basket of
rushes hung panierlike across the
back of a mule, the driver going on
foot The vendors of street wares
carry them on their heads with an
appliance that looks like plank box
foot wide and four feet long, with
an oblong box in the center In the
box are the smaller articles, while
everything that can be hung is sus-
pended along the sides Gay-coiored
handkerchiefs, ribbons, laces and en-.

LOTTERY JOINTS RAIDED.
Deputy sheriff Hendricks Had a
Lively Evening.


Lively Evening.
Deputy Sheriff Hendricks distinguished
himself last night by raiding Chinese
lottery game in the rear of Max Gins
berg's fruit stand on J street, near
Fourth. He had become satisfied that
there was 'joint" in there, and had a
man 90 in to buck at the game.
When Hendricks attempted to enter
the rear room the proprietor of the fruit
stand tackled him, and they had it in
pretty lively fashion for several minutes.
They tumbled about over fruit and to-
bacco boxes, and from the street it look ed
as if a modern football game was in pro-
gress.
In the meantime the man who went in
ostensibly to play at the lottery had made
prisoner Of the Ghinaman, one Lee
Eong, while one genuine customer
made his escape. Hendricks took the
Chinaman TO the County Jail and lock ed
him up, after cOntiscating the lottery
tickets and some Sl2 in cash.
Then he raided another joint on Eighth
street. where lie danced an Oroville Jig
on the Chinaman's outfit, and when he
got through the place looked as ii cy
clone had passed through it.
Later III the evening while Deputies
johnson and Hendricks were in a bar
ber-shop on X street a Chinaman entered
and tried to sell lottery ticket, and he
too was run in.
The officers complain that the Police
Court is too lenient with these Chinese
gamesters, and that the low fines inn
posed have no restraining effect on them
whatever.

The Sewage Disposal and Drainage
Question.


EDS. RECoBD-UNIoN: 1 was very much
pleased to see your criticism on my
article published in the Bee a few days
ago on the subject of sewers, etc. l have
often wondered why some one did not
say something in reply, either for or
against my articles on the sanitary ques-
ton as published by several papers OF
this city. did not write my last article
as presenting the best there is in the
world for sewage purposes, but as the
best that could be adopted for this city,
as l thought.
We certainly have not fall enough to
carry the heavy part of the sewage Oft by
gravity, consequently the plan l set
forth in my article would be the next
best thing to do, as l thought.
l will leave it to you If four cesspools
located in the alley in every block where
they can be got at easily, are not better
than forty or fifty in tie same block, as
at present, located where it is almost i'm
possible to get TO them and some Of them
not at all. consequently they go un-
cleaned for years and years, as you we'll
say.
There are yards in this city where cess
pool after cesspool has been dug and
planked up; where one gets full it is
abandoned and another dug. because it is
cheaper than to clean the old one out. If
the person you spoke of as complaining
about cesspools would examine his
premises and round about there. he would
probably find from ten to fifteen cess
POOLS in his vicinity. You viii now see,
if my plan should be adopted. that it
would do away with all Of this unsaui
tary condition of things.
| said in my article (which you criti-
cised so sharply. and rather sarcastically,
as l thought) that your plan Of sewers
and sewage was the best. if it could be
carried out successfully, but did not be-
lieve it could be done; neither do / think
now il can be done. If you can carry all
the heavy matter from all the water
closets of this city four thousand feet,
more or less, on a fall of only two inches
to the hundred feet, you will do more
than l think science or natural philosophy
teaches.
The fact is, with so little fall with this
kind of sewage, the first you know a
piece of paper or something else will
catch upon a rough place on the sewer
pipe, then another. and so OH, until the
pine becomes full. What is to be done
then? OF course, The only thing that can
be done is to blow out or flush out the
