How to Pronounce Iowa.

Speaker Reed not only pronounces it
"Arkansaw," but has done SO for several
years, and SO has every other we'll inform
ed man in congress, and SO law of the
state directs. By the way, some uniformity
should be introduced in the pronunciation
of Iowa. Is is variously spoken in con-
gress, t'I-owah, - "I-oway'' and 'Iowy,"
with the accent on the first syllable;
Lowry and 'I-o-way,'' with the accent
on the second syllable, and "I-o-way,"
with the accent on the third syllable.
None of these is correct. Senators Allison
and Gear and the members of the Iowa
delegation agree that 10 wah, - with a
little accent on the first and emphasis on
the final syllable is the only right thing

A TURKISH FIRE BRIGADE.
Its distinguishing Apparatus Is General
" of but Little Avail.

Its distinguishing Apparatus Is General
1y of but Little Avail.
A Turkish fire engine consists simply
of a hand pump, supported on two long
poles and carried on the shoulders or
four of the flremen, says writer IN
Casters Magazine. The latter make
great show of haste. They run at a
brisk trot and keep shouting and yell
ing all the way, pushing rudely aside
all wayfarers who are unlucky enough
to get in their line of march. But In
truth Turks are seldom in hurry. 1t
may be that their speed on setting out
is stimulated more by the expectation
of being able to levy 'backsheesh" II
they are early on the scene than by any
ardent desire to quench fire. The cloth
ing they wear is white and their lower
limbs and feet are bare, consequently
their progress is noiseleSs but for the
ye1ls they emit as they push along.
There is a high tower in Stamboul
and another on the other side Of the
Golden Horn at Galata, both OF which
display flags on the alarm of fire. The
flags are supposed to indicate the local
ity of the fire, but as several localities
are sometimes enlivened by fires about
the same time these indications cannot
always be very explicit. If fires break
out during the night the bekjies might
watchmen) take up the cry and oaWi
out with discordant information Wnere
the fire is supposed to be.
When that formidable company OF
hremen with the handpump arrives on
the scene of confagration the bachi first
of all calls at the contiguous houses, as
yet untouched by fire, and andeavors to
extort backsheesh for the exertions his
men are about to make to save prop
erty. And woe betide those who admit
these rascals. For the furniture is
dragged out into the street and if the
household goods are not plundered
there they are probably destroyed be-
yond recovery. The writer has been
told that householders generally pre-
fer to bolt their iron doors and shut
their iron shutters rather than give &C
cess to those plundering ruffians. Their
extinguishing apparatus is generally of
little avail.

WHERE MONEY IS NO OBJECT.
Paris Restaurant Whore Walters Pay
for the Privilege Of Working.

A Paris Restaurant Where Walters Pay
for the Privilege of Working.
A few nights ago in the quaint Ger
man cafe of the Waldorf, according to
the New York World, Thomas M. Hill
lard, Mr.. Boldt's manager, who has but
recently returned from q trip abroad,
said:
while in Paris visited the most
unique cafe in the world. It is known
as the Cafe Cubat, and it is located on
the Champs Elysees. The building
itself is one of the sweetest little houses
in all Paris. 1t was built, I believe,
for the fayorite of Napoleon IL. The
lower floor is devoted to the restaurant
proper, the upper part being divided
into supper rooms.
1.-THE staircase and wainscoting are
of onyx and the bathtubs are of solid
silver. The proprietor of the place was
formerly chef to the emperor of Ger
many. Instead of conf1ning his atten-
ton to the kitchen, as he should, he
spends his time in the cafe, helping the
walters.
sT called for a bill of fare when I
had seated myself at table and on ex-
aiming 1t I found that while the list
was no price affixed. My waiter in
formed me that as the restaurant was
patronized exclusively by people to
whom money was no object it was
deemed unnecessary by the proprietor
to have the cost of the wines or viands
entered on the menu.
Laying the card aside, I told the
waiter that wanted him to bring me
a soup, a fish, an entree, roast and
a salad, which. in his opinion best rep
resented the cuisine of the establish
ment. He did as requested. and the
result was the most delightful dinner
1 ever ate. The soup was a dream of
culinary art, the fish was perfection,
and the entree was fit for the gods.
when my bill was brought it near
ly took my breath away. but I paid
it cheerfully, as the dinner was worth
all it cost For the same amount, how
ever party of four could dine sump-
tuously at the Waldorf. A bottle of
wine for which $15 is charged here cost
$25 there. The hallboy at the door told
me that he paid francs a day for the
privilege of working in the place, and
the walters 10 francs. The tips re-
ceived by these worthless from the
gilded youth of the capital are said to
be the highest paid for any restaurant
in the world

KEEPING THE FIGHT UP.

Businessmen who are disposed to com
plain Of Mr. Bryan for urging that the
free-silver fight be kept up for the next
four years, may. If they choose, find a
good deal Of consolation in that plan OF
campaign.
II pursued. the plan will keep the Re
publicans under whip and spur until they
have done all they mean to DO to relieve
the peoples burdens. 1t would furnish to
the Republicans the most powerful incen-
tive. the most active stimulant that they
could have to move them to dispose OF
the tariff and currency questions salts
factorily.
The congressional elections take place
two years hence. and II by that time the
Republicans have not done what the coun-
try expects of them, they will lose the
House and will have their hands tied
during the rest of McKinley's administra-
ton. Who does not know that the fact
that Bryan and his supporters are keep
ing an active watch upon the Republicans
will have the effect of making the Repub-
leans do their utmost TO straighten out
the country's finances? II the Republicans
are not so bonded and pledged to the
trusts and protected manufacturers as TO
make it impossible for them to satisfy
public expectations, it may be in their
power to kill of the cry for free silver.
At any rate. Bryan's plan promises no
serious disturbance Of business, and it will
hold the Republicans up to their promises,
as far as it IS in the power Of the public
n do so
