CRAiG-Y.NGS CASTLE.
The Home OF Nine, Patti-A Museum of Price,
less MementOes--ftowt the Diva Shows Her
Loyalty, Though Thousands Of Miles May
Intervene-1he Latest Is an Autograph
Letter Sent from Wales.

Craig-y-Nos Castle in the heart of the
picturesque Swansea Valley the home of
Nine Patti, contains some of the most
priceless heirlooms and bric-a-brac in
Great Britain. Within its walls are sou-
Nenirs from every cline gathered by the
diva during the journeys of her wonderful
career.
To receive a letter confirming the high
opinion that she pronounced eight years
ago is no common occurrence, and yet she
has recently repeated a previous honor.
Nine. Patti was the great artist who
first indorSed the kimball piano, one of
which she took to Craig-y-Nos Castle
with her in 1859, where it still stands in
excellent condition doing good service.
Since the testimonial then given the KIM
ball piano, she has indorsed no other.
Nine. Patti has now placed in her castle
one of the new style KlmbaH baby grands,
and this is the letter she writes concerns
ing its arrival
CTaig-y-NOs Castle, Ystradgynlais, RS. o.,
Breconshire South Wales, July 2S, 1897.
Dear Mr.. Kimball: 1t is with great
pleasure that ! write to acknowledge the
safe arrival of the Kimball baby grand
piano. 1t is indeed a beautiful piano and
has an exquisite tone. 1t has already
been greatly admired by many connois-
scurs who are all united in pronouncing
1t to be a chef-d'oeuyre. With kind re-
CARDS, believe me, yours very truly,
Ade.ina Patti Ncoiini.

THE MARKETS.


New York, Nov. S.-PriCes of stocks
fluctuated very widely and very easily,
traversing a range up and down many
times in the course of the day. This
indicated a feVerish tone Of speculative
mind, a readiness to dispose of bold
ingS on a slight intimation of possible
unlaVorablc developments and an equ-
ally nervous anxiety on the part of the
short sellers to cover their contracts
on any appearance of hardening
tendency in the market The most
formidable event in the days happen
in"s 50 far as any effect on values
was concerned was the further post
pOnement of the announcement of the
supreme court s decision in the Neb-
braskG maximum freight case which
was confidently expected today. \
special weakness was induced also in
the coalcrs by the very discouraging
reports of the condition of that indus
try due to over production, cutting of
prices, and the persistent mild wealth
cr. There was not lacking the stock
| Spanish war scare. which was made TO
| do duty again today. These demora-
lizing factors did not begin to be felt
until some slight Improvement over
Saturdays close had been effected in
prices, sugar leading the way. There
was notable Improvement also from
the low point before the close of the
day due TO covering of shorts and on
a supreme court decision against the
! Interstate Commerce commission as
| to the regulation of rates unuvr the
! long and short haul claus. where
water rates are in competition. In
| consequence of this rise at the OPEN

! declines are much diminished. Total

FRIENDLY ADVICE

The representative to these Islands
OF President Mckinley is generally
pronounced pleasant and courte-
GUS gentleman, and we have no
doubt that society" will lionize
him-at present. For his informa-
ton let US remind him OF the fate Of
his predecessors. Minister and Mrs.
Blount were received here with open
arms by society" They were lion
ICED and nothing was too good for
the distinguished couple. Poor Mrs.
Blount drove around with the ladies
of Nuuanu street aud enjoyed the
hospitality lavished on her by the
ladies of. the Central Union Church.
Then came Blount's report, and
rarely have gentleman and his
wife been reviled in more con-
temptible manner than were the
Blounts. One hysterical "lady"
wrote to friend: Fancy that man
writing such report after all we
did here for them. AT any hour our
carriages were ready to take Mrs.
Blount for ride, and we sent her
home made bread, cream and but
ter because she did not like the
meals furnished by the hotel. Aud
in spite CT that her husband writes
such report as that now submit
ted to Cleveland. Oh! the viperessl
who ate our home. made bread while
her husband was damning usP'
Then came Willis. He was also
received with open arms by society"
Mrs. Willis was petted and fattered
but being aware of the fate of
"viperess" Blount she fought little
shy of her new "friends" and she de-
clined the drives and the home
made biscuits. Then came the
thunderclap. Willis requested Dole
and his "society" to "dust." Def
ance was in order dole having pri-
yately been informed that it was q
game OF bluff but Mrs. Willis be-
came for several weeks persona non
grata. Then came the collapse OF
poor Willis and his return to his
old position as an ordinary insignifi-
cant diplomat, accepting the hospi-
tality of the sacred society. Mrs.
Willis was once more persona grata
and the ladies OF Dole's Court ad-
mitted her to their festivals OF ban
anas and their lemonade bacchanalia.
Then Willis died and his widow left
aud, lol and behold the society was
jubilant and rejoicing, aud p. @.
Jones, the leader of the good people
on earth, came forth and shouted:
"Hurrahl ws have got rid of Willis.
We have been bottled up for four
long years, now 1 am uucorkedP
Mr.. Minister plenipotentiary and
Envoy extraordinary, take a little
friendly advice and beware OF mis-
sionaries, home made bread, butter,

The selfish and dishonorable terms
in which a portion of the American
press sighting speak OF the theft of
Hawaii is we'll exemplifed by the
Philadelphia Times which says:
"Bad as the bargain seems on the
surface, we incline to the belief that
there is nothing to be lost by the an
reIation of the Sandwich Islands.
The proposition is not half so objac-
tionable as the acquisition OF Alaska
seemed 30 years ago." The rebels
and traitorous flibusters of Hawaii
are only repeating the deeds OF the
dead buccaneers and finding in Am
erica fence shop to dispose of their
stolen goods.
