mas been n4l0C with furniture and mis-
celIaneous household goods is an object
lesson in the art of economizing space.
Such angular things as rocking chairs
and tables with their protruding arms
and legs, are made to take up no more
room than if they were solid. There is
hardly crack big enough to put your
fist in.
In the general storeroom the goods
are piled up in lots, each article being
numbered to prevent it from becoming
mixed. Here are exposed to dust and
moth and hard knocks from careless
workmen the wrecks of hundreds of
homes. How shabby and homely are
the broken links which once bound to-
gether the family circlel A world of
pathOs is suggested by some of these in
animate things Here, for instance, is
a lot in which are a cradle, high chair
and little wooden crutch Out of a
packing box sticks a red plush album
with threadbare covering and tarnished
clasps. Face up on the top of another
box is framed Hthograph of the flower
surrounded motto, "Cod Bless Our
Home. -
But in general storage are found
great many other things which cannot
be reckoned under the head of house
hold goods. Here is a little heap in the
center of which is a dentists chair.
What is the dentist doing now? Gone
to K1Ondike, perhaps, or to a more dis
tant bOurn. Over there is a cedar canoe,
with a tent and camping outfit rolled
up in it. Next to it are a chicken incu-
bator, a plOw and set of double har-
nesses, telling the story Of removal
from the country to the city.
Farther along, in peaceful juxtapOsi-
tion, are two groups of articles. PrOIni-
nent in one are pulpit, lot of folding
chairs and a pile of hymnbooks, sug-
gesting the dissolution of some unsuc-
cessful church society. In the other are
the plate glass mirrors and the polished
hard wood fixtures Of a saloon bar whose
proprietor has perhaps lost his location
and has stored the outfit until a new
stand can be found.
Eyes, we have some queer things
here, :" said the manager of a big ware
house, ''but 1 think about the queerest
lot we ever took on storage consisted of
an entire Uncle Toms Cabin troop
scenery, tents, costumes, performers,
bloodhounds and all. The proprietor
told me hard luck story about being
so unfortunate as to strike a district
where sympathy for little Eva was at
low ebb. His funds had run low, and
he had struck out for the city to find
hacker. He wanted me to shelter his
outfit until he could scare up an angel.
ct was an unusual proposition, but
I accepted it. When 1 looked the outfit
over, was sorry. Horses, dogs and
performers were alike half starved, and
had contracted to feed as well as shell
ter them. 1 felt relieved when on the
second day the proprietor came around
with hacker and got his show out of
pawn.
''No, we haven't got anything un-
usual up there now. There's travel

After the queen regent receives Senior
Sagasta and Senior Pldal today she will

Her majesty expressed a desire to re-
tain II possible the present chamber, be-
lieving that a general election would
nave a disturbing effect. For this. how
ever, a conservative cabinet would be
necessary. None of the liberals is in
clined TO accept office, as they would
only find themselves at the mercy Of a
conservative chamber. General Campos
has been endeavoring to effect arrange
ments whereby the chamber might be
ctained in case the liberals We're 10
take office, but so far he has been un-
successful.
During the conference of leaders OF
the dissident conservatives with the
queen regent Senior Silvela declared that
in view Of the difficulties in the way of
dissolution 1t would be best TO retain the
conservatives in Office under the leader

assumption that the cabinet hould re-
ceive the support or all elements a ma
jority Of his own section would give 1T
enthusiastic support.

1t Is believed that President Mckinley
In his annual address to congress next

The Maritime Canal company inter

these objections may be overcome by
the payment OF a sufficient sum by the
state OF Nicaragua to reimburse them
for what they have already spent in en-

Warner Miller and others OF the COM

10 protect their rights in the canal and
