close of the year.
In parting with Mr.. Hoffman, the

present high financial standing. Ii IS
owing to Mr.. Hoffmann's suggestions
that the ice-making machinery ana
cold-storage plants were Installed, ana
also many of the numerous plants
erected on the Islands. Since his ar
rival in September, 1894, the first cleo

UNEASY WEARERS OF CROWNS

The king Of Spain is guarded during
his nightly slumbers by a picked body
of men, who, according to an old GUS
tom, must be natives Of the town of
Espinosa, and have served with honor
in the army. They lock the palace
gates with much ceremony at mid
night and unlock them at seven o'clock
in the morning during the whole of
the night they keep yigilant watch in
and about the royal residence. No
one in his household knows IN which
room the sultan intends to sleep at
night. He has more than a score Of
bedrooms, separated from the rest of
the building by iron doors at the end
Of each corridor; the door of each
room is furnished with a lock Of in
genious construction, and two enor-
nous dogs lie outside the room where
