South Africa is Port Elizabeth, on the
east coast, about 500 miles from cape
Town. This is the nearest port to the
diamond fields at Kimberley. and to this
and similar advantages of location Port
Elizabeth owes its Importance. 1t is
situated on Algoa bay, which is little

could do nothing TO save the doomed
vessels.
East London is the only port between
Port Elizabeth and Durham. a distance
of about 400 miles. The steamers sail
very close to the wild but picturesque
shores of Kaffraria. The water here Is

A Rich Mans Amusement.

There is merchant in this town, very
successful one, worth probably sl25,OO IN

in Disgusting himself and leading street
parade for the Salvation Army here, al

ARMY. 1 have seen him a number of times
nicely disguised with side whiskers and the
Salvation Army cap on. The blue, tight

fitting black Prince Albert that none of his
friends could ever possibly recognize him

The principal European settlements in

MUSIC WITH MEALS.
One Respect In Which Oklahoma Hotel
Keepers Are Up to Date.

Keepers Are Up to Date.
The hotels of Oklahoma up to last fall
were few and far between. Having tried
several with little satisfaction, party
of hungry "tenderfeet" was directed by
a commercial traveller to little place
on a corner. The commercial man SAID
it did not look inviting, but 1T was clean.
That was an inducement the party had
not heard of in that section, and it
turned in for supper. The dining room
was one in which the family lived. A
folding bed stood in one corner. An old
time bureau was opposite. A box stove
was in the way, and about it were
several old fashioned rockers. A few
family pictures hung from the wall,
with the old, old motto, invoking the
blessing of the powers celestial on the
household. The party asked for supper
and was told to be seated until the meal
was prepared. Two girls, delicate and
with much WEAKNESS in their faces,
spread the table. When the meal was
brought on, they simply said, Supper Is
ready" and disappeared.
The party gathered about the meal,
and it was agreeably Disappointing
While it was being devoured-that is the
best word to use, even at this distance
from the table-the two girls came into
the room, accompanied by their mother,
n woman whose hair was white and
whose face was study. There must
have been time when she was beautl-
full. They came in as if they had been
billed for the occasion. They went to
one corner of the room, and then the
party discovered that there was one OF
, those old time melodeons in an out OF the

In August, 1876, the Canadian yacht
Countess Dufferin was twice beaten by
the Yankee Madeline in races for the cup.
In the second race the old America, al

over the course and also worsted the
Canadian challenger
In November 1881, the Canadian yacht
ATLANTA met the American yacht Mis-
chief for the cup, but was beaten twice
in succession by the Mischief, and also
by the Oracle, which was not an actual
