Housekeeping OF one sort Of

going on these few weeks past.

goods we sell at equally low prices.
Yet so cheap did the linens come 10

The business men of South America
now ON visit to this country were
handsomely entertained by the Algon-
quin Club OF Boston at an elaborate
banquet, but the skeleton at the feast,
says the Boston Herald. was the Tariff
bill. Senator Coolidge S. Roberts. from
Argentina, was one of the speakers.
lie feared that unless the tariff should
be readiusted at Washington the future
relations of the United States and
Argentina will not be of commercial
importance. The napers of his country,
he declared, arc already calling for re-
taliatory duties While the United
States shuts out the wool and hides OF
Argentina from it's markets, Argentina
cannot be expected to admit the
products Of the United States. This
was tho predominating sentiment of ali
the visitors, and Mr.. Edward Atkinson
oil Boston, who also spoke, admitted
that the Congress of tho United States
protects the manufactures of foreign
countries TO the great injury and detri
ment of their own.

Ono OF the most pleasing features Of

Herald wns tho reproduction, in fHc
siinie, Of the first page OF the Herald
of date Of July 25tb, 1898. containing
an account of the coronation of Queen
Victoria. Ia Westminster Abbey. on
June 2Sth Of that year. The letters
describing the event were written by
James Gordon Bennett, and thoy give
racy and stirring pen picture OF the
great occasion. Illustrations surpris.
ingly good for that period accompany
the description, one of which was
intended to portray the coronation of
the Queen, but showed, instead, a
King, being ue, Mr.. Bennett wrote, TO
"a small mistake caused by drunken
vaganond OF an engraver, though a
genius" The excuse given by tine en-
graver for the oversight was THAT he
was Democrat. and opposed to she
kings. MIR. Bennett obtained admission
10 the Abbey through the courtesy Of
Mr. Andrew Stevenson, then minister to
Great Britain, who had been furnished
with 1.-TWO tickets for tho use of the
American press. !" The other ticket was
given to Mr.. James Watson Webb,
editor of the New York Courier and
Enquirer, who also happened TO be In
London at that time. 1t does not ap-
pear that any other American news
papers had representatives present ou
this memorable occasion, fact which
of itself speaks volumes for the wonder
full changes since that day. During this
week, scores Of American newspapers
are represented by their special agents
ut the jubilee celebration, and theiI
i reports will be flashed across the ocean
by wire and printed in few houre,
instead of coming by the Royal Will
liam steamer as did Mr.. Bennett's
interesting letters, and not appearing
in print until nearly month later.

served rabuke, for they have been airing
their conceited opinions about tho
matter in manner that was repre.
hensible. and no mora creditable to the
Governor than to their own political
sagacity.
Mr.. Hughes is lawyer Of good
standing at.the Kent county bar, and
therefore meeta the requirements of the
Office from legal point OF view. For
while IL is not absolutely necessary
that the Secretary Of State shall be q
lawyer, it is very Desirable, as he fre-
guently stands in the position OF the

knowledge OF the law becomssa decided
advantage. In addition, Mr.. Hughes
has had active experience in the work

believe that he will fill his new pos
