American BAD Manners.

One prime reason why Americans are
considered by Europeans to be underculti-
waited is their very general inability to hold
any sort of intercourse by correspondence
without making blunders-social blunders
and blunders arising from lack of training
and education. The most commonplace
shades and gradations of difference in
ones correspondence with people who oc-
cupy different relations to us seem to be
totally unfamiliar to many Americans,
whose wealth and position would imply
in any other country just such knowledge
In Rome, London and Berlin more than
one unofficial note from one of the under
secretaries at the American embassies Of
tlAse cities has been passed about as a
sample of American ignorance and Amer
lean bad manners. -" America and Amer
leans From French Point Of View"

To Enlarge Yard.

The Boston s. Maine railroad officials
are trying to purchase some land between
the Boston & Maine freight Jnrd and the
Main street crossing, at Biddefori, to
make improvements in the ward. At
present the track which runs up to the
freight house is connected on the main
line, and with the purchase of the new
land this track could be extendsi up to
the side track, near the Boston s. Maine
crossing and thereby would do away with
the switch on the main line, near the
freight yard.
The officials tried last year to purchase
the same but were unsuccessful as the
owners would not sell unless they got a
good sum for their property. This year
they have made offers which are, 1t lie
said, much larger than those before, and
it is thought that the property holders
will. cell.

WANTS TO BUY MONTICELLO
Mr.. Bryan's Latest scheme to Keep Be-
fore tho Public.


New York. April q Tho Herald sayn
Monticello. in West Virginia, the Dit.h-
place Of Thomas Jefferson, should De,
william J. Bryan believes, natlonsi
reservation and memorial Of the Rfeas
democratic President. The recent CANAL
date for the Presidency has set his hears
upon this project and is going 70 advocate
1t with all his characteristic energy.
Mr. Bryan will put forth his ideas on
tins subject next Tuesday iefors . league
OF Democratic clubs. He will advocate
that Congress MAKE an appropriation Tor
the purchase of the property and the
maintenance thereof, and should this
project fall through, then that the Demo-
Gratis OF the country subscribe sum OF
money for the same purpose.
Mr.. Bryan Is most enthusiastic admlfer
Of jefferson and his principles. and apart
from the political side OF the case believes
that one OF the most famous men OF tne
ways than Historically. The jefferson
Home, he believes, should be national
mon umeIit for foreigners to rec AS well as
for Americans to yenerate
But there ID this slight drawback TO
Mr.. Bryan's hopes--the property IL owned
by Jefferson M. Levy, Of this oity, VINO
takes SO great family pride in 1t that he
does not care to part with 1t for any
amount OF money. Mr.. Bryan IL hope
full. however, and will push his entfeaties
and negotiations.
Mr.. Bryan wrote to Mr.. Levy last Sat
urday asking him to name the selling
price OF the Monticello property and
briefly outlining the great project he had
for q national memorial. Mr.. Bryan be.
lieved that private interests, no marter
how laudable. ought to give way to pub
lilo requirements. He furthermore be-
lieved that IL would rebound to Mr..
LEWIS honor to have the nation take
hold OF the birthplace of the distin-
guished President.
Mr.. Levy yesterday sent courteous
reply to Mr.. Bryan, to Washington, and
a duplicate Of Ii 70 Lincoln, Neb. The
| gist Of his nnswer was that not all the
money in the United States treasury
would induce him to part with 1t.
This is not the fiist time Mr.. Levy has
| been approached on the same subject. He
has refused large sums of money fol
Monticello. Mr.. Bryan knows this, hui
hopes that II the project is taken up by
the nation, the owner may change his
mind.
