Present Condition OF the English Name
sake Of the American Metropolis.
There can be 10 doubt that one Of the
most interesting towns of England is
the city of York. There viii be found
distributed in a lavish manner what all
the wealth Of America could not possi-
bly, purchase cr create. Indeed The same
may be said If every other country, for
nowhere caD We now reproduce the
marvellous architecture or the stained
glass Of the twelfth and thirteenth cen
turies, and no town is so Tich in these
unequaled works cf the past as the town
of York That t-iis is fully appreciated
by Americans is best set forth by the
fact that recently 10 less than 300
Americans visited York id one single
day.
York minister is the king Of English
cathedrals. Apart, however, from the
cathedral, York has much greater num-
Der Of churches as old and, in their way,
as remarkable as the cathedral What,
however, seems to me most exceptional
is not these ancient monuments, but
their surroundings. Throughout Europe,
in London, Paris and elsewhere, me-
dieval cathedrals. town halls and other
buildings still subsist. but they are sur
rounded by a framework Of modern
houses and streets. AT York, On The con
trary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and
a few other continental towns, the
streets as well ~ the churches recall the
middle ages.
York is inst the opposite to Hull The
latter town owes its very. existence to
its commercial capabilities, while York
never was a commercial town. Hull is
a town which has absolutely nothing TO
show, vet it has q population Of more
than 200, 600 inhabitants, and many Of
its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull
fought for the parliament against King
Charles, and Hull was celebrated for its
cruelty toward the Catholics York, on
the contrary. fought for the king against
the parliament, and, as Catholics We're
not 50 cruelty used in the York prisons,
they were sent from York to Hull when
it was thought desirable to treat them
more harshly- Many very excellent fam
lilies have selected to reside i'll Y York, but
there are very few large fortunes. York
is a town of POOR gentlemen; Hull Is a
town Of wealthy vulgarians. York has
religiously sought to preserve what il
Of historical and artistic values Hull
has ruthlesslv destroyed all that was 0
no immediate business use. These two
towns, SO close To each other. constitute
excellent object lessons. illustrating the
two great forces, the two great currents

More Than Hundred Villages Destroyed

As we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat-
Cd and the villages were id ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating id tile river.

eral terror, but we could get no infor-
nation Of its character. Vague ideas Of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came I'd our minds, and now and then

Arab slavers in the neighborhood

day we came in sight of huge Arab
camp On the right bank, and before long
we discovered that the Arabs Of Nyan-

ing heard the most exaggerated reports

their camp, and several hundred slaves,
old and young. We're herded like goats

negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta

Us in serious complications. But while
we dared not use force we believed that
by continuing the same system we had
found so successful with the native
chiefs we could check the audacity Of
the slavers BY our mere presence among
them. After some days spent in cautious
and friendly negotiations with the

The Lord Mayors Costumes.

London's lord mayor has to put on
three suits of clothes on taking office.
He wears a wide sleeved. velvet faced,
fur trimmed robe of purple silk rep on
presenting himself to the lord chancel-
lor at Westminster: this he uses after
ward as police magistrate. For his
show he wears robe of superfine scar
let broadcloth, faced with sable fur and
lined with pearl satin; this he must
wear when greeting the judges at the
Old Bailey and on All Saints days.
The dress for evening and formal recep-
tions is a black danask satin robe, EN-
broidered with silver gilt. Under these
be wears velvet coat and knee breech-
es. The robes are perquisites Of the office
and cost $l 900. The chain Of the office
has on it diamonds worth 5000, 600, and
each lord mayor must give bonds for its
safe return on receiving it. When the
queen passes through the city, fourth
robe is necessary; buts as that seldom
happens, i is bought only when the oc-
casion arises.
