woman, she was bad one, and while there

sauces. etc. In point of purity it is super

A Poor Tourist Season.

From the New York Tribune
Contrary to all expectation. the American
tourist season in Europe has been the
worst in many years. 1t had been antici-
pated that the jubilee of Queen Victoria
and of King Oscar would attract large
numbers of transatlantic visitors. but the
shipping returns show decline of no less
than 80 per cent in first ana second-class
passenger traffic below the figures Of the
season of 1896, which demonstrated that
over $1,000 American tourists had been dis
embarked at English ports alone. without
taking into account those who landed at
continental ports. Assuming that Ameri-
can tourists carry abroad an average OF at
least 81 900 each, 1t is manifest that the
falling on In the transatlantic passenger
traffic during the summer must have re-
suited in a great benefit to the United
States, as the money remained in the coun-
try instead of going abroad.

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
Complaint of Ample Display Of the Charms oi
the Females Portrait.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA
Letters continue to pour In upon the
treasury department from banks and
other institutions urging the withdrawal
from circulation of the new silver cer-
tIfcates, which have attracted general
attention by reason of the ample dis
play of the charms of the female occu-
pying the center of the diverse. Many
of the communication are official,
while Others are personally addressed
to Secretary Gage by financial men of
his acquaintance. The objections to
the issue, however, are not based upon
any prudish notions regarding the fe-
male figure, but originate on account
of the numerous counterfeits that have
made their appearance. In the new
notes the lines are very closely drawn,
while few landings give the bills an
old and well-worn appearance. Hence
they are moro eaeily oountsrfoited aud
passed, and it is said that some OF the
most experienced bank tellers in the
country have had trouble to detect the
genuine from the spurious bills.
People familiar with the ways OF
counterfeiters say that this fraternity
has not for many years had so good an
opportunity for getting In its work with
fair prospects of impunity az is now
afforded by means Of the new paper
currency. So far. however, there has
been no indication from the treasury
department as to its views In the mat
ter, although by those in position to
know, it is thought that the com plants
will result in the issue being called in.

A COSTLY BLAZE.

LEXINGTON, Kentucky, May IA
The court house this morning caught
on fire which spread rapidly and was
500 beyond control. At 1880 it was
m ass of ruins. The fire spread to the
Sayre institute and other buildings, and
the pupils of the institute, noted girls
school, were panic-stricken and rushed
frantically into the streets. Hart's
famous statue "The Triumph of Chas-
tity,n fell from Its niche in the institute
and was broken into fragments, caus-
ing loss of S200,000. At O'Clock
the fire was under control and the in
stitute was partially saved.
