STILL OWES HIS RENT.
And His Hungarian Lnndlady In
tends to Collect.


a suit will shortly be begun against
wealthy New Yorker and member of
many leading clubs in this city for the
recovery of a balance of three months
rent that he is alleged to owe for the
tenancy of house in Budapest. Par
ticulars of the claim were received re-
Gently at the Austro-Ilungarian con-
sulate and the case was subsequently
transferred to the care of the attorneys
for the consulate, says the New York
Tribune.
The complainant is Nine. II. Schmtt-
Ordody. Il prominent business woman
in the Hungarian capital. Her proper
ty includes n villa situated in fash
ionahle part of that city. Last sum
mer, on the occasion of the Austro-Hun-
garian exposition. she asserts that she
rented her villa to the defendant for
the months of July, August and Septern-
Der for 1900 florins, and of this amount
600 forms is still due. This sum she
las instructed the consulate to re-
cover by legal process.
Some mcrriment was caused in the
consulate by the fact chat q remittance
of 60 cents was inclosed by Nine. Or
dody in her letter, presumably as re-
taincr. If this was actually the purpose
which Nine. Ordody desired the money
to be devoted to it would be probably
the smallest retaining fee ever Offered
to lawyer in this country. The law
yer who will take proceedings against
the American explained recently, how
ever, that Nine. Ordody intended the
money to cover preliminary stamp fees.
In Hungary a petition to the courts is
obliged to have affixed y revenue stamp
of the value Of ebout GO cents. The de-
fendant is at present abroad and is sup
posed to be travelling in Russia.

The Cats RELIGION.

The late Father Stommel. of Doyles-
town, Pa, who died recently in Phila-
delphia, was something of a wag, and
many instances of his wit are told by
his friends. One of his neighbors, it is
related, who was not of the same faith
as the reverend gentleman, once pre-
sented him with a very pretty kitten,
being very emphatic in her avowal "that
it was a good Catholic cat" A few
days later, when out for a walk, she
was nailed by Father Stommel after
this fashion: Mrs. b, thought
you told me the feline you gave me was
a good Catholic cat. Ibeg to assure you
that you were mistaken. 1t is a blue
stocking Presbyterian, and eats meat
on friday"

PAPER BAGS AND HARD TIMES.
One Industry That Thrives on Condi-
tions That Wreck others.


tions That Wreck others.
The manufacture of paper bags is an
industry which depends largely on it's
prosperity to prevailing condition of
hard times. The more stringent the
financial pressure becomes, the more
paper bags are used, says the Chicago
Chronicle. In the grocery stores GUS
toners will come in who, instead of
ordering bushel. of potatoes, will or
der a quart of potatoes and carry them
home in paper bag. Groceries of all
kinds are purchased in small quantities,
and the paper bag is used almost eX-
clusively to do up, not only groceries,
but fruit, vegetables and candies. y
customer in hard times will drop in
and buy half pound of tea. In II few
DAYS he will come in again and buy
another half pound. In good times he
would have bought couple of pounds,
and one bag would have wrapped it up.
1t is so with all kinds of groceries and
everything purchasable for which pa
per bags can be used, and the only real
complaint which will be found coming
from the paper bag manufacturers will
be on the occasion of prosperous times
coming on us again. The paper bag
mills are doing u thriving business now,
and until the growing evidences of
prosperity culminate in Il general re-
sumption of business activity through
out the country, they will not lack for
Il constant and large demand for their
goods. But when the mechanic begins
to buy potatoes by the bushel, apples
by the peck, coffee by five-pound pack
ages and flour by the barrel, then the
paper bag will hide its diminished head
and prosperity be with us once more.

CAN ENGLAND BE lNvADEOq
The Possibility of Foreign Forces
Landing on the Little Isle.

Is there any danger OF England being
invaded by foreign foe? This ques-
tion was recently put to Gen. Wolseley,
says London letter. His reply was as
fCllows:
'tNot so long ago we were within
measurable distance of u war with
France. Such a war, believe me, would
not be only naval. y country which has
such colossal army as France would
certainly wish to use it. Invasion, at
tempted or accomplished, would have
to be one of the military contingencies
to be considered by us. OF course We
rely upon our fleet for preventing a de-
scent.
The navy is our first line but there
are some who thinll-I do not say that
am one of thcm-that our navy is not
so immeasurably superior to the
French that we can always count upon
meeting it strength for strength at the
critical moment in the home seas.
Command of the channel might be
obtained by stratagem or after conflict
and Il very short time---a couple of days
would suffice to effect very secure
lodgment on our shores. No, no; in
casion is not impossible. Won Moltkc
thought that, although he said it would
be easier to get into England than out of
it again. / dare s9yfwe should give
good account of allrec1vesstoin oinvaders,
but the shock, the temporary paralysis
and collapse would be very terrible,
even if we triumphed in the end. But
let us hope that invasion is very far off

 Major Kingsbuly had daughter as well as the son who fell at Antietan. The daughter married Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky some time before the war When General Bnckner decided to go with the ConfederRcy, the danger of eon6seatiop of his wife's interest in the Chicago estate confronted him. A family council resulted in the transfer of Mrs. Buckner's property to her brother. Colonel KingsbuTy fell in battle with out leaving will to protect his sisters s inheritance. When the war closed, the return of Mrs Buckner's interest in her fathers estate was asked for in behalf of her children Mrs. Kingsbnry de- clined to concede 1t. She claimed all that had been left in her husband s name for her son and herself Litiga. tion followed and dragged along for years. Major Kingsbrry' 40 acres were in the heart of Chicago when the fire occurred
