Extortion In Sutherland.

The following experience may con-
Vey a useful hint to travellers in
Switzerland. A lady travelling with
her daughters wrote to the proprie.
tor of the Beau Rivage hotel, Inter.
laken, to know if they could have
rooms on the second floor. They re-
ceived an answer by telegraph that
rooms would be reserved as desired.
On arrival they found that the rooms
reserved for them were on the third
floor. On their refusing to take
these and preparing to depart, the
landlord demanded so francs. They
declined to pay, whereupon he re-
fused to allow their luggage to be
removed. They went to a lawyer,
but had to pay the so francs before
the luggage was released. At this
period male relative appeared on
the scene and sent message to the
landlord that unless the so francs
were repaid by a specified time an
action would be commenced, which
led to the money being at once re-
turned. Bern Letter.

A Valuable Stocking.

Edward Hutchinson Robbins was
speaker of the Massachusetts house
of representatives in 1898. His grand
son, who describes him as man OF
untiring kindness, whose desire
was to bless and serve others" says:
Stephen Brewer, who knew him
well, told me once that when he was
a clerk in a store in Boston the old
gentleman walked in with a gray
stocking in his hand, the foot of
which was full of Spanish dollars.
Stephen, my little man" said he,
take care of this for me; it's new
stocking, and my daughter Classy knit
it for me-"
So Stephen put it away, and grand
father forgot it from that hour, but
three months later he came into the
store in much affection.
stephen, my little man, said he,
I've lost astocking like this, show
ing the mate, land I'm SO sorry My
daughter Classy knit them, " he said
tenderly, "and would not lose them
for anything"
81 produced the stocking with the
Spanish dollars tied up in the foot
said Stephen, land there was no af-
fectation about it. He really cared
more about finding the stocking that
his daughter had knit for him than
he did for the money. youths

4 Song Isird In the CanitoI.

1t happened during a vacation be-
fore congress convened that an I'M
known lady strolled into the rotunda
of the capitol There was nobody
about but the guides and a few tour
lists, and a couple Of friends who
W re with the unknown suggested
TO her that she try the acoustics of
the hall. At first she demurred. but
the idea seemed to fascinate her. As
she stood silent for a moment, as if
walt1&G for her accompaniment,
soz1otnIug in her easy pose suggest
ed familiarity with the footlights.
Then she lifted up her voice and
sang easily and linaffectedly as a
bird-and such singing! 1t was only
simple old ballad, but the voice
was pure and clear, the phrasing fine
and elocution excellent
But this was not all. The echoes
of the great dome awoke and joined
in the song until it seemed magnified
and expanded into a whole great
chorus. The guards and guides
crowded in to hear this impromptu
concert, and even the anxious sight
seers who had allotted Is minutes to
''do the capitol" paused to listen.
1t was grand, it was inspiring, and
the singer seemed to enjoy this real
ization of her art, which she could
never attain in an ordinary hall.
When she paused, a round of ap-
plause awoke other echoes until it
sounded like the tribute of a great
audience.
And then the singer, realizing her
situation, departed, and her remark,
as she thanked the doorkeeper, that
she had sung in many halls, but
none like this gave rise to the sur
mise that she was not unknown to
fame. Washington Post

AFFAIRS IN HONOLULU.

The Queen Holds Or From Signing the
Regular Appropriation Bill.
HONOLULU. Jan. 1.-The legislature will
meet again on the Sd INST and it ls OK.
pected there will be definite move to show
the policy of the opposition in the house.
An extra night session was held last week
to complete the reading of the appropria-
ton bill for the period ending March 81,
1894. The work was finished as far as the
Legislature is concerned and the bill was
forwarded to the queen for her signature.
1t was supposed she would sign it 80 that
the government employees could receive
their salary for December, but the
bill yet remains unsigned and en-
ployes are without pay. The queens
failure to sign the bill ID
thought to be the forerunner of another
political move in which the complexion of
tho cabinet is to be again changed. The
lottery bill is expected to come up for con-
sideration next week. Homer's banking
bill. which proposed the introduction of
fractional paper currency. has been killed.
An opium license has been adopted, which
permits tho Importation Of opium in bond
BY any one, but limits the right to sell the
drug to licensed parties. Places for smok-
ing opium may be established under GER
tain restriotions. The income of the gov
ernment under the bill IL estimated at
$1,000 600 per year. The total footing of
the budget for the period ending March
