An Old Lady's Predicument,

From the Gentlewoman
Last week a friend of mine, feeling the
heat very trying, went out to sit upon the
balcony of her house. Her husband COM
ing into the drawing room and finding it
empty, concluded that she had gone I'D
stairs to bed, and therefore ne shut and
barred the windows Feeling refreshed by
the night air, my friend. who, by the way
was an old lady, sat on watching the stars
When she at last tried to return into ner
drawing room she found herself locked
out. The streets were empty and deserted:
in vain she knocked at her inhospitable
wiz dows and called.
The night became suddenly chilly and a
hne drfzzle came on, but still the dear old
lady was locked out of her own house. At
last she managed to attract the attention
OF passing coachman, who sent 4 man to
ring the front door bell. arouse ;he servants
and inform the sleepy, blinking man-serv-
ant that his mistress was locked out on the
balcony. The knocking and ringing reused
the house, and every one ran down en- robe
de chambre, with a wild fear of kilograms
or accidents in their eyes, to find the dear
guantanamo of the establ;shment-weary,
exhausted and damp, and most humanity
indignant at the uncomfortable hour she
had been forced to spend on her balcony.

An Underground City.

From the Buffalo Enquirer
Jules Verne thought he was writing of an
altogether new and unique thing when he
told his famous story of 1.-The Underground
City," but again truth proves to be
stranger than fiction, as the Russians have
discovered big underground city in Turk
estan, near the Bokharan town of Karki.
Exploration of some big caves revealed the
fact that" they led to a city in the dark
built thousands of years ago. According
TO eftigies, inscriptions and designs upon
the gold and silver money unearthed from
among the ruins, the existence of the town
dates back some two centuries before the
birth of Christ. The underground Bokha-
ran city Is about two verSts long, and Is
composed of an enormous labyrinth of cor
ridors. streets and squares. surrounded
by houses and other buildings two and
three stories high. The edifices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases, etc. In some of the streets falls of
earth and rock have INSTRUCTED the pass
age, but generally the visitor can walk
about freely without so much as lowering
his head. The high degree of civilization
attained by the inhabitants of the city is
shown by the fact that they built in sew
eral stories by the symmetry of the
streets and squares, ard by the beauty of
the baked clay and metal utensils, and of
the ornaments and coins which have been
found. 1t is supposed that long centuries
ago this city, SO carefully concealed in the
bowels of the earth, provided an entire
population with refuge from the incur
sons of the nomadic savages and robbers

Lord Archibald Campbell and his high

Scotland, last night, playing drge. Lord
Archibald devised this project as an ex-
patton for the historical massacre of Glen
coe by the Campbells His project, how
ever, was not accepted by the inhabitants
OF the Glen In the spirit in which it was
irtended. and the descendants of the mas
sacred McDonalds gave his lordship notice
That II he or any others belonging to the
clan no murdered their ancestors should
attempt demonstration in Glencoe they
would send round the fiery cross and break
thelr heads. Lord Archibald, however de-
teimlned to put through his project, and
asked for police protection. 1t was fear
ed the proposed demonstration would
revive the old feud between the clans. but
the march through the glen was accom-
plshed last night without disorder. The Me
bonaids gave no sign of approval, but they
made no hostile demonstration.

A Way to Stop Duelinx,

A Mexican court has devised a mode of
Furnishing duelins which will perhaps be

The survivor in fatal duel, in addition

sentenced to pay the family of his victim
$500 year for eigfAeen years, to pay all
costs of the victims funeral and the costs

Marketmen Must Move.

Owing to the obstruction caused by the
material used in the construction of the
new cable extension of the Washington and
Georgetown railroad from the western ter
minus of the road to the union station, the
farmers attending the Georgetown market

and occupy the east and west market space
for the smaller wagons and the east side
of Potomac street between NJ and Prospect

Thomas recommends this as a solution of
the difficulty.

New sidewalks are paved with grano-
lithic mixture, asphalt, tile or ordinary
paving brick; alleys are paved with as
phalt block, vitrifed paving brick and
block.
The average cost of these improvements
is as follows: Grarolithic walk, s1.44 per
square yard; asphalt tile walk. $3.50 per
square yard; paving brick walks. 20 cents
per square yard; asphalt block pavement,
s2.1O per square yard, and vitrified brick
and block pavement, $1.98 per square yard.
Nearly three times as many square yards
of granolithic sidewalks were laid during
the fiscal year as during any previous year.
The alley pavements, which have hereto
fore beer laid by hired labor were this
year laid by contract.
A comparison with previous years shows
that the vitrifed block pavements have
cost about 20 cents more per square yard,

THE ARMENIAN REVOLT.

If the story that the Armenians are pre-
pairing for revolution is true, we may
see this year the beginning of the end of
that great world drama known as the
Ottoman Empire"
Province after province in Europe and
in Asia has been wrested from Turkey
until now there is barely enough of the
empire left to sustain the pretensions of an
Independent nation. A revolt in Armenia
of any serious strength could hardly fail of
still further stripping from Constantinople
the territory necessary to maintain its
dignity as an imperial capital. The Rus
sian people in their hatred of the Turks
and their sympathy with the Armenians
would surely find some way to force the
hand of the Government at st. Petersburg
and compel even the most peaceably in
clined Gar to go to war. This of course
would precipitate the conflict between
Crescent and Cross which must end in
driving the Turks out of Europe.
Perhaps it might mean also the out
break of general European war and re-
suit in something like as complete a
change of European affairs as that wrought
by the French revolution. Europe in
short is a powder magazine that needs only
lighted match to be exploded, and Ar
menia is in exactly the right place to ap-
ply that match with the most far-reaching

SETTLE THE QUESTION.

From the Cabinet of the Cleveland ad-
ministration itself has come to the Supreme
Court of the United States a strong sug-
gestion that it should rehear the case
recently considered involving the validity
of the Income Tax law and by deciding the
whole issue therein either fully sustain
or wholly overthrow the act.
1t seems-hardly possible either that the
Supreme Court will refuse to regard this
suggestion from the Attorney General, or
that the Cabinet itself will not see the pro-
priety of prevailing upon the Chief Exec
utive to suspend the energies of this act
until such time as the problem of its
validity may find solution.
In the case of the Exclusion act the
President assumed that as Chief Executive
he had the power to delay the enforce
ment of law. If he had such power and
exercised such discretion with respect to
an act clearly valid, it would seem to be not
only consistent, but entirely proper and
polite, to extend the time for the en-
forcement of the Income Tax act
until by court or Congress it should be
established or overthrown. That the latter
will be its most deserved destiny we enter
tain not the slightest doubt.
The resistless reasoning OF Justice Field
supplies the law and the logic to court and
Congress for the defeat and repeal of this
obnoxious statute, against which the sense
of the people of the whole country has
risen up in arms.

THE SPRING EXHIBITION.

The spring exhibition of the San Fran
cisco Art Association opens under con-
ditions which are dubious, from the fact
that while some of them are favorable
others are distinctly adverse to the best
results. The favorable conditions are the
large number of works shown, the high
average of excellence which characterizes
them, the general harmony of action which
prevails in the association, and the bright
outlook which the revival of business
offers to art as well as to every other in
dustry. The unfavorable conditions are
found oddly enough in the very thing
that constitutes the most munifcent at
tempt at art patronage on the coast. The
Hopkins Art Gallery will long stand as an
impressive monument of individual gen.
crosby directed to art culture, but so long
as it remains in its present form, it will
literally cast shadows upon the work of
artists and prevent their real merits from
being seen in the exhibitions.
The defects of the Hopkins gallery as
salon for the exhibition of paintings are
now too well understood to need comment
BY and by we may look for them to be
remedied by such alterations in the build
ing as will give abundance of light in the
spacious rooms. Many of the old palaces
