the signal for the triple row of arc lamps
along either side Of the lagoon to lend their
aid, and In an Instant they were sending
bright rays across the waterway, completing
the band enclrGllng the grand plaza.
The main lagoon lay under the sheen OF
thousands Of lights Ike great mirror. The
arc and per!style lights formed It's gllded
frame and around the sides, about a foo,
from the water, a row OF electric bulbs lent
the added beauty of golden beyel TO the
splendid plate. Its surface was dotted here
and there with the electric launches and the

lie was an Englishman, just arrived
from Australia. on his way around
the world. He wore the regulation
tweed suit, a fore-and-aft cap, and
said "cible'' for cable. He was sure
that everybody was trying to impose
upon him, and repeatedly declared
that he was n sharp fellow and didn't
propose to be taken in by any OF the
clever Yankees. He knew the Gus
tom officers were all swindlers, but
he told everybody on the steamer
that he should be prepared. says the
San Francisco Examiner. When he
landed, OF course his baggage was ex-
amined and contraband goods discov-
cred on which the duty amounted to
forty cents.
Perhaps il he had not clustered 50
much the inspector would not have
said word. AT any rate his luggage
was held until he could go to the
custom house and pay the triiie OF
duty.
He was angry at the delay and ex-
pressed himself freely on the way up
the street.

this trouble for beggarly forty
cents" he growled but il these
Yankees think they can get ahead OF
me they are mistaken.
Then he offe.ed the receiver a
plugged Mexican dollar and wanted
the change.
OF course the cashier declined to
accept the mutilated coin, and the
traveller became very indignant. He
demanded to see the collector. and
was shown 10 Mr.. Phelps office. Oh
course the action Of the cashier was
upheld by his superior.

cannot accept any mutilated money OR

But the tourist insisted, and finally
Mr. Phelps offered to give him dol

staid there three days before he con

simply this: would relieve members OF
congress of the duty OF making recomme nda-

for positions TO present their applications and
Endorsements. The papers would be placed

time to make that particular appointment
would call in the congressman and ask them
what they knew OF each candidate on the list,
In this way there would be fewer applications
for appointments and congressman would be
relieved OF the necessity Of engaging In local
patronage squabbles.
