The Early London Omnibus.

When the queen came to the throne,
omnibuses were new but already pcp-
ular institution. They We're longer, mar.
rover and lower than the present ones
and had no seats OH the roof. The pas
sengers were carefully shut in BY q
door at the end, as if to make quite sure
OF them. once they were captured, till
they had paid their fares. On little
round perch behind stood the conductor
or lead, hanging on by a leather loop
passed over his arm. Sixperce was the
usual bus fare 60 years ago, whether
you went from beginning to end of the
Journey or only few hundred yards.
AS there was very little regulation of
the street traffic of London in those
days, If the bus was filled up at start
ing it went like a fire engine in order
to get in an extra journey, but other
wise 1t crawled and pottered about till
the requisite number was obtained.
Each omnibus was licensed only for
a particular route. 1t paid the stage
coach duty Of f5 when first started and
a shilling a year for keeping the license
in force, besides mileage duty, varying
with the number Of passengers it would
hold, but coming to about threepence
per mile ON the average.-Gentloman's

him and the court. He had to talk

was crossing about half past o'clock
on the morning Of the 18th from Havana
to Reglas on a ferryboat. He was sit

the army, one of the navy q citizen.
They were talking about the Maine.

A Mean Dog,

He was small boy-not such very

He had written a composition. 1t was
upon the subject of dogs. Now the
teacher Of the school was man, and he
was not popular. He was what the boys
called "mean." They disliked him thor.
oughly. from the tips of has shining
shoesto the ends of his pompadour comb
ed hair. In the composition there was a
story Of dog. 1t was the story of a
very mean dog, and as the composer of
the literary effort came to the last line
he read it emphatically and with great
distinctness of utterance, and the hearts
OF all the other small boys in the room,
as they listened, quaked, half with de-

What Is Style?

The fact that we use the word "style"
in speaking Of architecture and sculp-
ture, painting and music, dancing, play
acting and cricket, that we can apply il
to the careful achievements Of the
housebreaker and the poisoner, and to
the spontaneous animal movements of
the limbs of man or beast, is the noblest

have been made in connection with the
Maine. and therefore there is no re-
Spouse beyond the submission of the
Spanish report.
Following the call of the Spanish min
lister at the state department the
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon. had a
conference with Judge Day. This re-
newed the talk Of European mediation,
which is assuming tangible form. The
speech q Premier Hanotaux in the
Paris chamber last Saturday is looked
upon as foreshadowing at least SYM
pathy, II not direct steps, toward me-
citation by France and other continental
powers. There Is good reason to believe
Spain Is ready and anxious for this
move. and has been encouraging IL at
the EUROPEAN capitals. 1t would not be
an offensive intrusion. but more a
friendly offer to mediate the differences
which have recently threatened to ter
inmate in war between the United
states ard Spain. 1t is understood.
however. that up to the present time NJ.
Cambon has not received any definite
instructions to take the initial step in
such mediation.
AT tic war and navy departments the
stir of preparations continued as usual.
The navy department made plans for
mosquito fleet to be composed Of
tugs and steam yachts recently pur-
chased and armed as an auxiliary fleet.
The war department made numerous
shifts in the location of troops in the
west with a view to their speedy con-
centration. and generally did a big bus

On the contrary, Spain has made

That 1t does rot doubt that these Dur.

II Is not expected that the relief will bo

there is little reason to doubt that the
relief would have been forwarded ut

administration has felt that a war in

Waters Have 4eceded.
Sullivan, Ind, March 29.-The levse
on the Wabash river went out last nigh;
with break of 100 feet, entailing a loss
Of 100000. Twenty thousand acres OF
lands are overfloweed, and hundreds of
families are rendered homeless and
destitute. Citizens are responding for
miles around in their effort to remove
families and stock. Hundreds of cattle
and horses are hemmed in. Such a rush
of waters was never known in this Sec
ton Of the country before. The levee
is eleven miles long. The Indiana and
Illinois Southern railroad suffers q seri-
GUS loss. The road officials are direct
ing and rendering every assistance in
the work of relief. The waters at 8 o.
m. yesterday We're making a mad rush
through the bottom lands. uprooting
trees and taking everything in their
path.
Fears That q Horror Has Happened.
1t is feared that many people who
were probably slow to take warning will
meet death in the flood. A dispatch from
Emison says that 1900 bushels of
corn and sixty-five hogs We're swept
away there. An Osgood special says:
The B. and o. s. w. railroad cannot run
trains over this part of the road. The
track east Of here, between Lawrence
burg and Aurora, fer three and a half
miles is four feet under water. The Ohio
is rising at the rate of four inches an
hour with no immediate prospect of
stopping. The conditions are alarming
and fears that the levee will break at
Lawrenseburg are entertained.
Wabash the Highest Ever Known.
The Wabash reached 22.7 feet yester-
day, this being the highest ever known.
and is still rising. The lowlands Of up

difficult to place an estimate on the
damage done by the flood in this coun-

the 100000 mark. The farming communi-
ties suffered greater than supposed. 1t
is reported that three members of the
Walters family are drowned. The bodies
have not been recovered. Almost 100
head of live stock persisted with other
property
