The Picturesque and Lively Yankee City
of tho Old World.
Budapest, as everybody knows, IL
formed of two cities. separated by the
Danube and Joined together like New
York and Brooklyn by great bridges.

dreds of years old and rises on great
hill covered with yellow houses with
red-tiled roofs and surmounted by for
tresses and ancient German looking
castles and the palace of the king.wit
terraces of marble and green gardens
running down to meet the river. 1t
still is a picturesque fortified city oi
the middle ages. Pesth, Just across the

more modern than Paris, better
paved and better lighted, with better
facilities for rapid transit than New
York, and with houses Of parliament
as massive and impressive as those on
tho banks of the Thames and not un.
like them in appearance. Pesth is the
Yankee city OF the old world, Just as
the Hungarians are called the Ameri-
cans of Europe. 1t has grown rapidly
in forty years, and 1t has sacrificed
neither beauty of space nor line In
growing. 1t has magnificent public
gardens. as well as complete fire de
partment; 1t has the best club in the
world, the Park club. and 1t has found
time to put electric tramways under
ground and to rear monuments tc
poets, orators and patriots above
ground. People in Berlin and Vienna
tell you that some day all of these
things will disappear and go to pieces;
that Pesth is enjoying boom" and
that the boom will pass and leave only
the buildings and the electric plants
and the car tracks. with no money In
the treasury to make the wheels sc
round. 1 do not know whether this is
or is not to be. but let us hope 1t il,

HOTELS IN GREECE.
single Rooms Are Rare and the Fur
nishings Are Painfully scsnt.

Single Rooms Are Rare and she Euf'
n,shings Are Painfully scsnt.
In Greece the hotels OF the interior
follow one general type-the Italian.
There is no common sitting room. says
the. Atlantic. Why should there be?
There is no Office. but that does not
seem to interfere with the presenta-
tion of bills. The ground floor is given
up to a cafe or restaurant. II the inn
keeper goes into that line of business
Very often, however. the master Of the
Apollo has only rooms to let. The
sleeping apartments on the floor above
are often approached by an outside
stairway, and. as is to be expected In
southern climate. they are scantily
furnished. Over-furnishing is a vice
anywhere. Under n southern sky 1t Is
a crime. of which the Greeks are not
guilty. There is usually mirror.
though that tribute to human vanity Is
sometimes lacking, and. like the Turk
the solitary Turkish towel bears no
brother near his throne. The bedstead
is Invariably of iron and does not offer
the same vantage ground to the as
sailants OF sleep as a wooden frame
work would do, but the cushions are
there and the walls are there, SO that
small comfort is to be derived from
that slight reduction OF possibilities.
As in primitive United States within
my memory. single rooms are rare. Two.
three, four. five beds are put in one
room or strung along the corridors. A
fastidious person who desires to occu-
py a room alone has to pay for all the
beds therein. In some places special
charges are made for sleeping in the
daytime. and there Is fixed rate for
sleeping on the floor. That man
should wish to be private when he Is
asleep seems absurd. But in this
whole domain we Americans. who sub
nit to the abomination of the Pullman
sleepers, have no right to find fault
with any other nntionality-we have
no right to be fastidious about undress-
ing In the eyes of the world, and
large charity ought to cover the diver
stiles of different religions and differ.
ent periods in this respect. In the
good old times people used to go to
bed utterly devoid of raiment and the
bedclothes. as we call them still, were
the only clothes.

Chinese Railway.

After using canal for many centu-
ries, the Chinese are soon TO enjoy the
convenience of railway from Tien-
Tsin to Pekin. Heretofore 1t has re-
quired several days 10 make the jour
ney, although the distance is only eigh-
sty miles. Travellers are towed up the
PeihO river by men. who often wade
through the water up to their waist,
and make twelve or fifteen miles Il
day. Hereafter the Journey will be
made In five hours. The railway has
already been completed to the town OF
yang-Tsun. thirty miles from Pekin.
and train is running each way daily.
The rest of the track is graded. and 1t
Is expected that the rails will be laid
by the first of May. Through trains
will not be attempted for several
months yet. however. because of the
lelay in constructing IL bridge over the
Peiho river. which is 10 be n remarka-

road is being built by Chinese engi-

clerk and reooStler OF Pitlsln county a
deed OF assignment from the j. B.
Wheeler Banking Company to Herbert
l.. McNair rs assignee.
Mr.. benjamin Ferris, the cashier Of
the bank, was seen by your correspond
ent, to whom he stated that the to-
tai liabilities of the suspended bank
would not exceed $4,000. of which
amount all. with the exception OF
about $1,000, Is due to Mr.. j. b.
which he controls. Mr.. Ferris stated
that the assets of the institution at the
face value would exceed 100000, and
that. eliminating from consideration all
doubtful assets and placing the lowest
value upon the rest. there Is still more
than $1OO,0OO of assets. The bank has
not been successful since Its reopening
after the panic OF 1898 and has lost
money steadily. Under the circum-
stances 1t was deemed best for all In
terestcd to close the Institution and
liquidatc.

Blood Poison and insanity.

From the New York Medical Record.
While the fullest credit should be CIV
en- to the stan Of this important In
stitution (the State Institution of Path
ology), 1t is but fair to state that the
study of toxaemia in connection with
insanity is by no means novelty, mol
is it the discovery Of the enterprisine
young gentlemen connected with the
establishment who have been credited
Herewith. Over a decade ago Salomon
Regis and others recognized the toxic
origin of mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter ant
Smith, have written extensively on the
subject. Perhaps most credit SHOULD
be given to DR.. Allan McLane Hamil
ton, whose paper on "Autotoxis as {
Cause of Insanity" was read before thu
Medical Society of London in May last
and noticed in your London letter ;
short time subsequently. In this pa
per, which contained much original re
search, the connection between toxae
mia and insanity was fully shown.

AMBASSADOR HAY PRESENTED.
Received With Unusual Distinction Mt
Windsor.

London. May 3.--Colonel John Hay,
the newly-appointed United States am
bnssador to the Court of st. James, re-
ceived unusual distinction to-day while
presenting his credentials to Queen
Victoria nt Windsor castle. During
the morning n royal carriage drove up
to Colonel Hays residence with n
coachman and two footmen in the royal
scarlet livery, to convey Colonel Hay
to Paddington station. At the station
they Were met by the Marquis of Sails
bury and the master of ceremonies. the
Hon. Sir William James Colville, who
accompanied them to Windsor. At the
Windsor Railroad station Colonel and
Mrs. Hay found n royal carriage In
waiting to convey them to the castle,
where luncheon was served.
Colonel Hay first had an audience
with the Marquis of Salisbury and then
presented his credentials to her majesty.
The audience was brief and formal. but
the Queen WAS specially gracious and
exchanged with the ambassador mu-
tual expressions of good will and amity
between both nations.
Mrs. Hay was then received in audi
ence by the Queen, being presented by
the Countess of Enroll, the lady in
waiting. AS the wife of an nmbassa-
dor, Mrs. Hay took precedence over
the Portuguese and Chinese ministers,
who also presented their credentials
upon this occasion.

States Circuit Court of Appeals In ses-
sion here to-day reversed the case of T..
II. Rollins & Son against Gunnison

by Gunn.son county. on December I.
1882, which bonds were given In eX-
change for county warrants OF the
floating indebtedness of Gunnison
county. and were contested by
the county for the reason that
they were alleged to have been issued
in violation of section OF article II of
the constitution.
The ease wns argued before the Unit.

for 4. ii. Rollins & Son. and by Hon.
