"a paragraph is going round the pa-
pers which states that Emperor Will
liam has telegraphed particularly
hearty congratulations on the betrothal
OF the duke Of York, inasmuch as his
majesty had always expresseda strong
wish that the duke should marry
Princess Victoria Of Teck. "This,"
writes court gossip, sis all fiction.

sister Of the German empress, and the

The emperor, who is an inveterate

Princess Feodore and the prince of

LACK OF GOOD MANNERS.

4 Noticeable Peculiarly Of New Yo4A
Women ON shopping Tours.
) The annual shopping carnival offers
the best opportunity for the observa-
ton and study of the New York wom-
IN, her manners, peculiarities and
characteristics. Perhaps the feature
that would strike you first is that she
who expects that you will offer her q
seat in q street car does not hesitate to
push and elbow you or stumble over
you while she calmly pursues her way
through the throng. Men have no
rights in her domain, but if one ven
lures here he must do all of the dodg-
ing and lacking. The New York wom-
ans treatment Of her sister is even less
considerate, according to the Balti-
more American. In the crowded stores
she bumps directly into another woman
and treads upon her toes without q
tinge of her conscience or . passing
"beg pardon" As rude as are New
York men in crowds, their rudeness is
not to be compared for moment with
that Of the women toward each other.
The New York shopping woman not
only stares impolitely At the woman
wearing q new dress and bumps into
the next woman without the usual ex-
cuse for pardon, but she also talks to
the salesgirl as she would talk to Q
servant, seldom failing to remind her
that the boundary between their sta
tions is broad and impossible. =
1t is for these reasons that the New
York man, going to or returning from
business, thinks he is not ungallant
when he sits and reads the newspaper
while the shopping woman supports
herself and two bundles by a conven-
lent leather strap. Here it is one Of the
most uncommon sights to see q man
o6er his seat in the car to a woman.
A stranger in town is identified by his
courtesy to women. Men from other
cities have remarked this, and the New
Yorker says If he gave up his seat to a
lady she'd probably forget to thank
him, and the other men would stare at
him as q fellow who was breaking a
good rule. Not many of those who
have grieved at the so-called rudeness
OF the native male toward the female
know how thoroughly rude the native
females are to each other, and it re.
quires q shopping carnival to bring
this rudeness to public notice. -s

On Hood Canal points fir logs have
advanced 81 per thousand and are
selling at from $3.50 to $3.50. This is
the result of the increased activity in
the foreign lumber demand, and some
conservative millmen say that if less
had been said about the increase in
business there would not have been
any anxiety among loggers to secure
an advance. The increase in the
price of logs brings the price about
back to the prevailing prices of 1893.

In moment there was a row like

Webb made break for the door with

Webb grabbed his hat and skipped.
The affair made a prodigiOus row in

the ape had gone after a space writer
whose resemblance to himself an

creature.
As matter of fact the ape is a per-

his living by exhibiting his room

He hopes by this to understand bis
