The President was visiting Lyons in

there he proceeded to the Palais de

Nandam street was a very modest little
affair. The two brothors, who came
originally to seek their fortunes in this
country, had learned tho sugar-baking

Henry O.'s father began work in the

the Havemeyer bakery" II was con-

entire hogshead of sugar in a day.
The building in which the entire Hav-

little concern only 25 feet wide by 40
feet in length. This is in rather strik-

their strike was unequivocal and
extended to the freight service.
Moreover, the engineers and tiremen
showed themselves in sympathy. They
brought in passenger trains, reported

toward the latter lelief. Foreign rep-

to him the dramatic following they
