Arrived in the City Last Night Started Out ln a Paper
 Suit.

 He started out on $3,000 wager with the Social Club, of New York, in June. 1895. The stipulations of the wager were that he was to show up in New York, July 1898, with 5000, and that he was to make the money by some honorable means of labor, and must not beg, borrow or steal. In the event ofhis accomplish ing the feat he is to receive $6 ,000.
 Phelps started out in paper suit made of newspapers of the New York World, His first joo was to black a pair of shoes, for this job he received $1. He had cents to start with, he auctioned one of his coppers for $1, bought pictures of himself and sold them for 9 cents each He accumulated $75 the first day by various ways, After visit ing a few cities in the Eastern States he departed for the old world and has travelled through France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belglnm, Austria, Holland, Russia, Hungaria, Greece, Servia, Algeria, Turkey, Persia, Arabia, Asia Minor, Egypt, India, Celon, Siam, China, Corea, Japan, Australia, and land ed in this country in Feb. 1897. Since which time he has visited 25 States and the provinces of Canada and has two months to complete the journey.

He was in India during the great famine, and saw the dead carried to the hill tops, where the birds were allowed to eat the flesh from the bones and the latter buried.
 He was in jail in Prussia, Prov ince of Poland, because his costume attracted too much attention. When he started out he weighed 190 pounds but has dropped to 135.

Herr Strauss, Eccentricities.

Writing of the eccentricities of Herr
Strauss, the dance music composer, a
Vienna writer says he is as nervous as a
composer as he is director. Cssd in a
velvet costume with patent leather boots
reaching to his knees, his eyes afame
and in a fit of inspiration, he goes strid-
ing through the house like maniac. If
inspiration does not come to him in the
salon, he clutches his papers and goes
to his bedroom or to his wife's boudoir.
Sometimes the waltz begun in the PAL
lor is finished in the kitchen. Mime.
Strauss, who appreciates and under
stands her husband habits, has half a
dozen pianos scattered through the
house, and in each room table with
writing materials, so that in whatever
nook her husband finds himself he is
quite at home. Nine. Strauss was once
favorite actress on the Vienna stage.

SHOPPING IN ITALY.
Out1andish Methods That Make 1t a
Most TiresOme Task.

Most TiresOme Task.
A source of trial is what appears to
as the outlandish method of having
things that apparently belong together
sold in different Adjustments. Silks
are found in one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons in third. At none
of these can one bay needles and thread.
If woman wishes to hang pair of
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
emit place, the iron fixtures at a third
and has to go to fourth to find an up
holsterer to put them up. She must
visit tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with US, vegetables, fruit or
bread at a grocer's. 1t may thus readily
be seen that one must travel good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, q
meter exceeding yard and pound
containing but II ounces, and a faint
idea may be formed Of the mental COM
plications of the traveller.
i, There is also a certain amount Of
beating down to be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar
gaining the purchaser oherishes awful
doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping is really
almost equal to the contemplation of
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
tone, and it is hard to say which has
the more to answer for in the exhausted
state in which most travellers leave

a SILLY TRAGEDY.
The Dsel Between Tom Porter and
Sir Henry Bellasis.

Some of the Royalists who were
forced 20 endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dizziness of life under Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass, SO that ignohle
squabbles and foolish plots make up the
history of their days.
Tom Porter was Of family which
had zealously served the king Under
the new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event. This was duel
which he fought with his friend, Sir
Henry Bellasis, and which, says Pepys
in his 'Diary,' is worth remem bering
for "the Stiffness of the quarrel 4 X a
kind of emblem of the general complex
ion of the whole kingdom.
But silly as the quarrel undoubtedly
was it carried in it an element of heart
break.
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, ''being merry in company, "
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved to
be seriously hurt, SO he called Porter,
kissed him and babe him fly.
"For," said he, "Tom, thou hast
hurt me- But will make shift to stand
upon my legs till thou mayst withdraw,
for would not have thee troubled for
what thou hast done.''
Porter profited by his friends gener-
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died few days later, and Pepys con-
cludes, lit Is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple OF
fools that killed one another out OF
love-
