LIFE IN LONDON.

An Observing American Paints a Pen
Picture of a Great City.
A New York business man, who is in
England, has written letter from Lon
don to one of his friends, which Is
quoted by the Philadelphia Record.
II was in parliament when the lib
eral ministers threw up the sponge.
There are many looking En-
glishmen in the house Of commons, and
l never sawaL.ore motley crowd. There
were solemn-looking personages, wear
ing wigs; there were strange beings
with bald heads and whiskers; there
were red-haired and yellow-haired
men; there were 100 faces which Sig.
Lombroso ought to put in book.
Three fourths Of the members wore
their hats in the house, mostly stove
|, pipes and derbies. Nearly all of them
were clumsily clad. Some wore-ill-fit-
ting dress suits, others getaways; many
had sack coats Of all colors, and but
Lad trousers that were too short or
were too long or very slouchy, while
some wore clothes that looked so gro
tesQue as to suggest Baxter street in
New York or Petticoat lane in London.
So much for my first impression of the
first assembly Of gentlemen in the
world. l used to think that the house
of representatives at Washington was
badly dressed, but l had not seen the
British House Of Commons. AS for
brains of parliament, it seems to me
that every man whom l have heard
speak during my four visits to 1t had
hatful of them, closely packed, wheth-
er he was tory, unionist or Glad
stonian. The speeches in the House of
Commons are not in the nature of rant,
but are rather plain and direct state
ments."

AsuccessfuI Concert.

The sacred concert given in the old
Catholic Church at Donaldsonville
Friday night for the benefit of the
church building fund, is generally be-
heyed to have been one of the most
successful musical entertainments, from
an artistic standpoint, that Donaldson
vile has ever been favored with, and
all mouths are filled with praises of the
director, Major Paul Leche, and the
ladies and gentlemen who assisted in
the admirable rendition OF the well
arranged programme. Messrs, Henry
Wehrmann, James Voorhies and Signor
Sauvenet, of New Orleans, were cor
daily applauded and encored for their
masterly performances on the violin
and double bass viol, respectively.
The audience numbered 500 persons,
and the net proceeds of the entertain
ment will foot up about $500.

Police Jury Meets.

The police jury of Terrebonne parish
met at the court house in Houma Thurs
day, and in a few hours time trans
acted a great deal of business. One of
the good things it did, was to appro-
pirate $500 TO be used in repairing and
fitting up the Firemen's Hall, which,
at a special meeting of the Houma Fire
Company No. l, was donated to the
School Board in the town of Houma.
Besides appropriating the above named
amount, the police jury donated two
buildings that belong to the parish, to
the School Board, which will be sold,
and the proceeds added to the $500 APP
propriated for the High School. The
pubhc-spirited citizens of the town
have subscribed part of the amount
necessary to move the old firemen's
hall from its present location to the
school lot, so there is every prospect
that Houma will have High School in
the very near future that will be a
pride to its citizens and an ornament
to the town.

Half Of Colon in Ashes.

which says; "a terrific fire ragged here
for five hours and burned itself out at
9 o'clock tonight. It destroyed the
better half of the commercial part of
Colon, including q large number of
tenement houses, every important Chi
nese store and the public buildings,
including the prison and school, the
markets and the courts of justice All
of the Panama railroad property was
saved, only few cars being burned.
There was much. looting of property
during the excitement of the fire. One
life was lost and hundreds are left
homeless The Panama fire brigade
came across the isthmus to assist in
fighting the flames. The damage is
roughly estimated at $500, 600, the in

A Milllon DolIar Fire.

A disastrous fire Saturday night in
the smelling department of the copper
works of the Pennsylvania Salt Manufac-
turing Company, at Natrona, causing a
loss estimated at $1,000, 900. The
buiings destroyed covered nearly four
acres Of ground. The output Of the
plant was about one hundred thousand
ounces of silver and three million
pounds of copper month. The fire
started by the blowing out Of furnace,
the flames spread rapidly, and in a
short time the furnaces and buildings
were . mass of flames. It was q
miracle that the upper part of the
town and lower works were saved. As
it was the costly machinery. and me-
chanical appliances were destroyed.
Sixteen furnaces and fifty tanks are
ruined. The buildings are gutted and
will have to be rebuilt. A-number of
loaded freigt cars, standing on q siding
adjoining the works, were consumed.
The insurance on the plant could not
be learned.
