to their homes in Berlin from Siberia Mr.

II don't know whether the inside history of the
order requiring the walters of the Palace Hotel
10 shave of their mustaches has ever been told
or not" remarked an old guest of that house last
night, "but ii will IN any event bear repetition.
Some months ago during banquet in the house
Fred Sharon entered the dining hall in evening
dress aud while stopping for moment near one
oftthe tables. 10 look over the assemblage. one
OF the guests tapped him Familiarity on The
shoulder and said Waiter, will you bring us
little more bread?' Mr.. Sharon's indignation
may well be imagined. and 1t was only short
time after that the edict went forth which
deprived the attendants OF their priced
moustachios."

the city yesterday about the same time that the
famous POpulist Governor OF the same State

ent year, was at the Occidental yesterday. Mr.
Burroughs says the recent ruling of the
Treasury Department that all coin-dies shall
be destroyed at the beginning OF each year was
put into effect for the first time in Philadelphia
on January L. This move is not taken because
IL Is desired 10 change the design OF any of the

a measure obliterates certain distinguishing
marks OF the same, and thereby renders coun-
;erfeitng more easy.
