The BathS of MarYlebOne.

In some respects the civilization of
Europe is in advance of ours in America.
The public baths and laundries for the
poor in large cities both Of the continent
and of Great Britain are an illustration.
Not long since there were opened
amid great rejoicing in the Marylebone
district of London perhaps the most
complete public baths in the world.
They are not free. A charge of from l
to cents is made for their use, it being
rightly considered that a person who is
civilized enough to want a bath is also
civilized enough to want to pay for it.
Thus, too, the stigma of charity is taken
away from the enterprise. ~.
The baths are built and controlled BY
the municipal authorities. Four SWIM
ming pools and 101 private baths are
in the cluster of buildings The public
school children revel in the luxury of
vapor bath. shower, plunge and swim.
In one Of the buildings swim, show
er bath and soap and towels can all be
had for 2 cents. In the winter the lar
gest swimming pool is foored over and
the space converted into a gymnasium.
With the baths is connected laundry
containing modern machinery and con-
veniences for renovating linen quickly
and thoroughly. This is for women Of
tho poor classes who have no facilities
for washing clothes clean at home.

American Interests In Samoa.

American Interests In Samoa.
Have we any interests in Samoa? Mr..
Henry G. Ide, who was chief justice in,
Samoa, expresses the opinion in The
North American Review that we have
decidedly.
He recalls, first. the provisions Of the
international treaty Of June IA, 1889.
The treaty was signed by the govern
ments Of Great Britain, Germany and
the United States, and its object was to
preserve forever the perfect neutrality
Of Samoa It was not the independence
Of the islands that was aimed at, for
they were put under q sort Of joint con-
troll by the three nations named. In
1879 the native chief of Pago Pago had
given to us the exclusive privilege of
establishing naval station at Apia, on
his coast. That privilege still holds and
the port Of Pago Pago is still ours.
Mr.. Ide believes the United States
has shamefully neglected it's duties and
privileges in connection with Samoa.
BY provision of the treaty of 1889 any
one of the three contracting nations can
Withdraw from the alliance. Mr.. Ide
writes to convince the American people
that it will be most disastrous course
for this country to withdraw from the
joint control. The moment we do so the
islands will be seized either by England
or Germany. By that act we shall give
up our last harbor in the south Pacific,
that, too, in the face Of the fact that
our Pacific coast is making gigantic
strides toward becoming more important
and wealthy than the Atlantic coast.
The material resources of the Samoan
islands are rich beyond the belief of any
who have not examined them narrowly.
They only await some attention on ou1
part to be developed. It is to be noted
that now Samoa and Hawaii are the
only groups of islapds as yet unannexed
by European country.
Instead, therefore, of turning on,
backs on Samoa and lazily giving it an6
our sole south Pacific naval station w
to England or Germany Mr.. Ide urges
the United States to wake up and take
an active part in the civilizing and de-
veloping of the land Robert Loui!

"But General Sheridan will annihi-

The news that Lee and Grant were

it was arranged between Gordon and

General Gordon describes thrilling
incident of that last hour. He says that
while his troops and Sheridan's stood
face to face waiting the result of nego-
tiations between Grant and Lee, Sheri-
dan himself rode forward, attended by a
very large staff. Says he: LAS the gen.
,ral drew near I noticed one of my
sharpshooters drawing his rifle down
upon him. I at once called out: Put
down your gun. This is flag of truce!
