Hanalet's Grave.

I bought a photograph of Hamlet's
grave in a shop in ElsinOre. l asked
the young woman who sold it to me
if she had any doubt of the truth of
the thing. Was it really Hamlet's
gravel"
She seemed shocked that / could
even hint at skepticism IN such a
subject and would have put the pho
tograph aside for a more worthy
purchaser had I not interfered. AS if
to overwhelm me with evidence,
and the more to pique my unbeliev-
ing nature, she would fain also have
found for me a picture of the brook
in which poor Ophelia drowned her.
self. 1t was somewhere in the shop,
she was sure. I urged her to seek
for it, but she sought in vain. 1T is
a very little river, sir" she said as if
to excuse herself for being unable to
discover its photograph. I am sorry,
truly sorry, I cannot put poor Ophe'
las brook in my album of curiosi-
ties, side by side with Hamlet's
Observation-Disclosures Journal.

Marriage In Siam.

A declaration of marriage in Siam
is simpler ever than it used to be in
Scotland. You ask a lady to marry
you by merely offering her a flower
or taking a light from a cigarette, if
it happens to be in her mouth, and
your family and the brides family
have to put up at least 81, 1000 apiece
for a dowry. Unlike Japan the 81
amese women are treated as equals,
but they can seldom read or write.
The principal impediment in the way
of marriage is that each year is
named after An animal, and only GER
tain animals r allowed to intermar
ry. For instance, a person born in
the year Of the rat cannot marry
with a person born in the year of the
dog, or a person born in the year OF
the cow with a person born in the
year of the tiger, and there are sim.
liar embarSoes about months and
days.-New York Ledger.

Hail at . p. NJ to consider he treatment
which the Railway rnon's proposition
t. the General Managers Association
received earlier In the day. An Informal
discussion was followed by an adjourn
ment to 10 a. NJ. tomorrow.
The feeling against the general man
ayers was very bitter but the conclusion
WAS to wait until the general managers
had acted on the proposition before TAX
ing any further action themselves.
The knights of Labor representatives
present at the meeting were in fun &C
cord Wit the Railway Union, and agreed
to stand by the union to the end.
President n bs said at the close of the
meeting that the union had made its
last overturcs to the General Managers.
II had gone more than half way. II the
present proposition was ignored or re-
iected, the strike would be renewed with
greater force and continued until the
railway people gave in.
"'The people had been appealing to the
Railway Union to stop the strike; here.

From the Murray Hill Hotel Mr..
Pullman was driven to his office. where
he announced that later in the day he
would make statement concerning
the strike.
He was to have started for Elberon
on the = o'clock train, but at that hour
he was busily engaged in debating his
statement, and said he would defer his
departure until later.
shortly before o'clock Mr. Pullman
gave out the following statement:
! There is hardly anything new to be

tions of the facility with which my eX-
