vENDERs' VARIED OFFERINGS
All Sorts OF Things Sold in the
Crowded Streets of the
Metropolis.

There's no end TO the odd things that
vendors and falirs sell in the city
streets; that Is, things that seem odd
until one reflects that many of the
wants of men are alike everywhere, in
town and country, and that among the
myriads Of passers-by in a busy street
there are people who want practically
everything that is made, and who will
buy a thing II IL is presented TO view
Thus IL always seems odd, however
often it may be seen, TO see in a busy
city street man standing on the side
walk Offering soldering irons for sale,
but in the constantly passing throng
there are some people, few at least
who want soldering irons.
Another thing that always looks curl
ous in a busy city street is the push
cart full of files; all sorts and sizes Of
files; but there must be a demand for
them or the man wouldn't come back.
Standing on the curbstone, facing the
sidewalks, in a downtown street the
other day was a man selling shears;
nothing but shears. He held up his
nhbNa WIN SUGARS hdhSlAH VII MS nh-
gers TO catch tho eye from among those
passing there Of anybody who hap
pened to want shears.
There was q man standing on lit
tie pile of boards in awaterside street
the other day selling carving knives
and forks. The fork was made Of n
single piece Of steel wire twisted into
shape; the knife had a skeleton handle
of steel riveted to the blade. So they
were not costly TO make. but they were
sold marvelously cheap and they went
off like hot cakes. And it might seem
like a curious place to bring carving
knives and forks 10 sell, down by the
river among the steamships; but there
couldn't have been found better place.
These carving knives and forks were
bought one after another right along
by mon who work on the waterfront
and by others whose work or business
brought them there TO carry home.
There is doubtless something in the
selection of certain points at which to
offer certain things, but II is probable
that anything that might be offered in
the city's streets would find, at one
place or another, some buyers from
among the city's multitudes.-N y

LOST BANK NOTES.
t,urce of Revenue from Paper That
Misrepresentation from
Nothing.


It Is a fact, that 10 many minds. no
iouht. must be curious, that the Bank
of England has always had a pretty
steady source of profit in the loss and
destruction of its bank notes. What
It has gained of late years In this way
we are unable TO say, but during
period of 40 years preceding 1882 the
bank had made clear profit Of e1,-
100000 from outstanding paper never
likely to be presented for payment.
When the destruction or the irrecov-
cradle loss of n note can be proved, as
In the event of fire or wreck IL can,
the bank of course will always pay
the money it represents; and even
when there is doubt about IL the cash
is paid on security being given for in
Identifying the bank should the note
ever be presented The G 10000 worth
Of paper-or 100000 as it appears TO
have been reduced to-taken from
PARIS bank will therefore not repre-
sent a loss unless the crisp little billets
have some day to be duly honored at
the Bank of England counter. In that
case the cash paid in exchange for
them will have TO come out Of the cot
fers Of the plundered bank.
Many years ago bank director lost
note for 10000. But, being a man
Of credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss of the bill, he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money.
Many years after, when the man had
long been dead, the paper was present
ed. II was payable on demand and
had come from abroad in the ordinary
way of business, and the sum it repre-
sented had to be handed over. and as
the indemnity that had been given was
repudiated by the heirs Of the man
who had given It, and for some reason
could not be enforced, the bank on
Z that occasion had to put e30Co0 on
the debit side of the account. For
once in a way they paid double honor
10 a bit Of their own paper.
There is another story Of sum Of
10000 which the bank in its early
days for n short time refused to hand
over in exchange for its own notes.
, They were presented by jew. whose
| assertion that he had bought them was
not disputed and whose personal in
tegrity was above suspicion. They
had. however, undoubtedly been
stolen, and on that ground the bank
refused to pay the money. The jew
went out into the city and began to
spread il abroad that the bank was
hhaky and couldn't cash his notes, and
as he backed his assertion by display
ing his indisputable paper the asser
tion would in all probability soon hnv,
caused run on the bank. In a few
minutes a messenger came TO say thai
the notes would be cashedif he would
/ present them again.-London News.

EXTRACTION WITH HA NAIL

Washington, Aug. IL. = The
State Department has deter mined
upon general policy of extrsdi
ton between this country, Hawaii
and other territory in whole or in
part under the direction of the
United States.
A number of cases have lately
arisen 10 which fugitives from
justice have claimed immunity by
going to Cuba or our ipsular pos
sessions on the theory that our
relations with these places were
10 such a trsnsitory condition
that the usual processes of extra
dition would not apply.
The question was recently
brought before the State Depart
ment, only as to Cuba and Hawaii
and general ruling was made
that IL fugitives were located in
these countries, an application for
extradition made in the usual form
to the State Department would be
turned over to the military ad.
mipistration and such steps taken
as to secure the extradition on the
ordinary prima facie evidence
The same rule will apply as tc
persons from Cuba, Hawaii, Porte
Rico or the Philippines who seel
refuge in the United States.
