The impression appears to be gen.
eral amohg intelligent observers that
America is being discovered second
fine. Our kinsmen Of Great Britain
are beginning to 6nd us out, are just
isarning the true inwardness and en-
terprisins -outwardness Of Americans.
Evidently the idea that Americans are
but half-cultdred people, intensely
provincial and largely rustic, is wear
ing away in England. This is well,
for o better mutual understanding
may pave the way for closer union
al hearts.

EseLIsH.GrnMAs ALLIANCE.
Report Tbst william and Victoria Have
signed Mutual Agreement,

Signed Mutual Agreement. ~
A report was current in London
Friday that treaty Of alliance between
Great Britain and Germany, on the
lines Of the speech OF Mr.. Chamber
lain, the secretary Of state for the coll
onies, was actually completed Thurs
day.
This 10 probably an application Of
the gossip relative to the daily visits
OF Count Won Hatzfeldt- Weidenburg,
the German ambassador, to the British
foreign Office during the past fortnight,
which have been attributed to desire
upon the part of Germany and Great
Britain to formulate common policy
in regard to Russia and China.
Another explanation Of the German
ambassadors visits to the foreign Office
here Is that they are relative to mixed
tribunals Of Egypt, the international
agreement on the subject ending in
February. Through French and Rus
sian influence, the court hos always
hampered the British plans for the
use Of the Egyptian savings and the
advancement Of Egypt.
Now II is said an agreement has
been almost reached by which Ger
many will support the British views
relative TO the future composition and
powers of the mixed tribunal.
II is said that as @ quid pro quo for
Germany's support in Egypt. Great
Britain will recognize Germany's claim
to utilize as an outlet for her surplus
population. Syria, division of Asi.
attic Turkey, which includes Palestine,
Is estimated to cover on area OF about
146,0 square miles. It has o popu-
lation Of about 2,750, 900, mostly Mo-
hammedans, but including about $780,
600 Greek Christians, $50. 900 Maron-
ties and Roman Catholics, It's, 900
Jews and AZ, ZOO Druses.
Emperor William, OF Germany, has
for some time past been planning o
trip to Palestine, and he IL expected
to visit Jerusalem this fall in order to
dedicate the German church there and
lay the corner stone OF the German
school, parsonage and hospital. His
majesty has also undertaken to regain
for the Roman Catholics the possession
Of the Coenaculum lin Zion) the
chamber Of the last supper" and the
sultan of Turkey is said to have init
mated his willingness to meet the
wish of the emperor in this matter.
The Pail Mail Gazette Of Friday af-
ternoon stated that II had received
from source in which IL has every
confidence information that the Anglo
German agreement was signed by Mr..
Balfour and the German ambassador
in behalf of the respective powers.

The order for the mastering out of
the Second North Carolina volunteers,
which was issued from the war de-

vice, since a large number OF other
southern regiments will be kept intact
and given places in Cuba or Porto
Rico until the final settlement OF peace

While the heat Of the city was not as
great Sunday in the matter OF degrees,
1t was just insufferable, and more SO

hot weather.
Up to midnight there had been re-
ported to police headquarters forty
three deaths and forty.four prostra-
tions from the heat.

There were twenty prostrations and
four deaths from the heat reported in

Sunday night the sweltering heat
gave place to shade Of GOODNESS. A

relieve the terrible pressure, and in
the tenement districts everyone who

on the roofs or fire escapes was drink

An Accommodating Neighbor.

Not long back Mr.. X moved into a
new house, which had not before been
occupied The bell wires were rather
stiff, and III consequence the bells gave
no uncertain sound. This was particu-
larly the case with the dOorbell, whose
clangOr disturbed the whole house.
Mr.. Y. is a man of sensitive nerves.
The tremendous jangle Of the doorbell
made him shudder, so he wrote IN chalk
above the handle of the doorpost, Pull
gently"
About 8 that evening there was a
violent ringing. Somebody tugged at
the bell as if he were going to pull it
out by the roots. The noise was terrific
Y. himself ran to the door in a rage
and found his friend z.
"What the dickens do you mean by
ringing that way" exclaimed X. indig-
nantly. Don't you see what's written
there?"
"Yes, answered z, 81 do see-that's s
why pulled so hard. "

Slow BarceIona-slower Madrid.

Barcelona is a great trading port,
about ON level with Marseilles. 1t has
grown very much within recent years.
The Barcelonese consider themselves
model TO all Spain in the matter of in
dustry and IN common sense, yet in this
town, which is really handsome place
and rich, the head telegraph Office is In
the suburbs; there is only one branch
Office in town, and messages have TO be
sent from that by hand. The postoffice
is we'll away from the port in a by
street. If you are there ON business, you
will find as likely as not that one clerk
is in attendance out of an immense
staff. He will probably be very polite,
but he will put his hand TO pen or a
bundle of letters as if he feared they
would burn, and Barcelona is a model
of smartness compared with Madrid.

the dawdling officials one sees at these

The following pretty story is told Of
Mrs. Grover Cleveland: At one Of the
public receptions given at the White
House an old lady who was drawn up
in the line that was pushing its way
forward to shake hands with the presi-
dents wife dropped her handkerchief
just before getting TO Mrs Cleveland.
She was too Old and rheumatic to stOOp
down and retDver it, and those back of
her in the line were too intent upon get
ting the one fieeting glimpse possible Of
the mistress of the White House to no.
tice the old lady's loss, and the hand
kerchief was trampled upon roughly.
Just before the old lady reached her
Mrs. Cleveland stepped out of her place
and deftly picked up the handkerchief,
tucked it III her dress and, taking her
own fresh one, which was of the most
delicate, dainty lace, smilingly handed
it to the old lady with the sweet re
mark, "Please take mine, and when
you get home send it back to me, will
yOu?" And when the handkerchief came
back TO her Mrs. Cleveland returned
that of the owner, freshly laundered,
lying on the top Of a beautiful box of
rOsebuds that came from the White
House conservatory.
