LONDON'S DIFFERENT PARTS.

The size of London is somewhat in
definite, but may be said to cover about
a square mile. The postal district COW
ers an area Of 250 square miles. The
police district extends still farther,
covering an area of 6S7 square miles.
On the other hand, the parliamentary
London is much narrower. It consists
of ten boroughs, of which the city Of
London, although the smallest (haying
5O,562 inhabitants in 1881, is repre-
scented by four members on account of
it's commercial and financial import
ance, while each of the other nine,
although larger, is represented only by
two; Westminster, 246, Alb; Chelsea,
25S,O11; Marylebone, 1855; Hackney.
1862, APT; Finsbury, 4S3.316; Tower Ham
lets 391, 56S; Lambeth, 379,112; South
wark, POI, 1886; Greenwich, 167 1892. Put
together, these ten boroughs represent
only a population of about 100000,
and the remainder Of the Inhabitants OF
the city belong to non-metropolitan
electoral districts. Generally, however
the size of the city is determined by
the area under the operation of the
metropolis local government act, which
is also adopted by the registrar gen
eral of the census. According to this
definition, London covers an area Of
122 square miles, forming parts Of
the counties of Middlesex, Surrey AND
Kent.-BaltimOre American.

The next morning came and bright
and early both partners arrived at the
office. Immediately after his arrival,
each retired to his respective private
room. Mr.. Stone with a smile took a
sheet of the firms letter paper and be
gan his epistle to Miss Hawthorne.
His pen flew rapidly over the paper,

doing something wrong and his con-
science troubled him.
Both men sealed their declarations of
affection and opened the doors OF their
respective rooms at the same time,
each intending to give his letter to Miss
Hawthorne and beat graceful retreat
into his stronghold. When they saw
each other, each appeared slightly EN-
barassed and Mr.. Stone grew pinker
than ever as his son opened the door
and entered the place.
Mr.. Mitchell Stone, however, did not
notice his fathers confusion, but
walked UP to the now blushing steno-
grapher and took her hand.
Father, .'he said to that astonished
gentleman, Miss Hawthorne and l

Mr.. Stone, senior, in wrathf1 aston

ployee who was now blushing more
and with tears in her soft brown eyes,
and another at his son. 1.-The Internal

smile broke. over his jovial, rotund
features and he laughed u great,
hearty laugh that made the room re
sound.
You have it my children, you have
it," he said. Grace, come and kiss
your prospective father-in-.aw."
Mr.. Duncan Graham stood in mute
establishment looking at the tableau
going on before his eyes. Finally he
said: Congratulations, congratula-

ANOTHER HOD OF COAL.
He is in a Government Office, But
Does not Like it's Mental Duties.

The Capital-There Is an assistant
messenger in one Of the auditors Of
fees who is sensitive about carrying
up the coal and building the fires. He
is a college man and came to Washing
ton expecting a good clerkship, at least ;
but his money gave out and he was
obliged to take the first thing offered.
Last week he received letter from his
home secret society, saying that several
Of its members would be in Washing
ton on Saturday and would call ON him
at the office. 1t happened that the au-
ditor was absent when Sunday came.
and his room was vacant for the day.
The assistant messengers friends
though it would be good thing to
play it ON the visitors. Mr.. Smith,
therefore, took his seat in the auditor
chair, lighted a cigar and put his feet
ON the desk. After little the delega-
ton from the home town arrived. A
man received them at the door. They
asked for Mr.. Smith and were request
ed to send in their cards.
"Show the gentlemen ill.," Mr.. Smith
said.
He was reading a public document
leisurely when they filed through the
door. He greeted them with cordiality,
but with a dignified reserve that they
did not recognize. A man with a tablet
and a pencil came in then from an in
ner room
"Will you dictate on your report now,
sir?'
81 believe Mr.. Jones, have told you
several times never to interrupt me
when am engaged"
The friends exchanged stories about
home matters for few moments. An
other clerk came

cial appropriation"
Mr.. Smith signed them Another
came in.

sir?"
'Take them to the Secretary and tell
him to sign Them" Mr.. Smith directed
The home people were deeply i'm
pressed They congratulated Mr.. Smith
on his successful embarkation upon an
official career.
Yes, yes. Not as much as / hoped
for, but very we'll, very fair for be
ginning" Mr.. Smith acquiesed. He
passed around the auditors good cigars
But Mr.. Smiths partner, the Other
assistant messenger, a colored man
was not in the joke. He intruded al
this point.
Look here, Smith, dey want anothea
hod of coal. Use got de last, and
don't git dis 'un."

FOES OF NEW YEARS JAGS.
Saloon Keepers, Says Liquor Man
Are Temperance Reformers.

More practical temperance move
ments emanate from the saloonkeepers
than from the so-called reformers,"
said Morris Tekulsky, president of the
Liquor Dealers associations of the
state and city, the other day, says the
New York World. Take the action
of our district association in the fourth
ward, for example. We decided to
abolish the practice of giving New
Years presents of bottles of whisky
to our customers. This was not done
to save expense, but to prevent a lot
of men from going on what has be-
come to many of them an annual New
Years jag.
There is enough drunkenness at the
beginning of the new year as it Is
without our sending q lot Of young
men home with not one, but half
dozen pints Of whisky In their peck
cts. A man goes around from one
place to another where he is known,
and before he gets through he has
accumulated more bottled liquor than

short time back, a double in the person
of banker of the name of Carlsben in

Paris, Feb. 2S.-A sensa tion was
caused in this city and elsewhere by
the appearance OF an article in the
Figaro in which the Gar OF Russia,
Princess Marie d'Orleans, wife of
Prince Walderman, OF Denmark, Count
de Boauchamp, French military at
tachee at Copenhagen, General BoriouS,
secretary general and chief Of the mill
tary, President Carnot and others play
conspicuous roles.
Some idea Of the gravity of the reve-
lations may be gathered from the fact
that Premier Perier today submitted to
President Carnot for his signature u
decree removing Count D'Auney, ex-
minister to Copenhagen, from the dip
lomatic service owing to his connection
with the affair.
The revelations are associated with
the Franco-Russian alliance and appear
result of intrigueS carried on behind
the backs of the Dupuy ministry.
The chief incident mentioned in con-
nection with the revelations is the al
legged attempt to obtain, through Prin-
cess Marie d'Orleans, an idea of the
Cars real feeling On the scope of the
Franco-RuSsian alliance. With this OBJ
ject in view, Capt. Beauchamp is said to
have approached the princess, telling
her Of the information required by the
French government, Or rather by Pres
ldent Carnot.
The princess, according to the story,
is said to have replied vaguely to the
suggestions of the Capt. who subse
quently handed four written questions
to a fayorite of the car, asking the
princess to try and obtain answers to
them. Later, Capt. Beauchamp wrote
to the princess, saying Il reply would
be awaited ut Ellie palace.
Then, it seems, it occurred to the
princess that she could not allow the
matter to proceed further without plac-
ing herself i'll a false position toward
the French government, and conse-
Quently she sent for the French min
lister ut Copenhagen, Count DAunay,
and informed him that she felt bound
Lot to leave the government in the
dark in regard to what was going Oh.
The facts We're Immediately colnmu-
nicated to the French government and
it appears that the princess was per-
suaued to give up the questions The
Dupuy cabinet a few days later came
to grief and when the present min
istery was formed the French minister
to Denmark, Count D'Aunay, went to
Paris and delivered documents to
Premier Perier with the result already
told.
In conclusion it may be mentioned
that Capt. Beauchamp has been re-
called from Copenhagen and given a
years leave of absence.
