A GLIMPSE at LlOydS.

The general public, even in London
itself, needs to be told what Lloyds is,
and so it will be better to state at the
outset that it is the greatest center of
the shipping interest all over the world
and it is surprising that, unlike its
near neighbor, the Stock Exchange, it
is so little known. Mr.. Frederick NJ.
Kenward contributes to Harmsworth' s
Magazine an exceedingly interesting
article descriptive of the old instltu-
ton. Lloyds owes its name to its
founder, a Mr.. Edward Lloyd the pro-
prietor of a coffee house at Tower
street, the earliest mention of which is
about 1868. 1t was to this coffee house
that persons connected with shipping
used e.ularly to resort; and Mr..
Lloyd, who seems to have been man
of considerable enterprise, took care to
collect all news and information he
possibly could in connection with his
customers business until his coffee
house gradually came to be looked
upon as the headquarters of all mari
time business, and especially of ma
rine insurance.

Ghost PLAYED Piano,
revenge.

West Point correspondent New York
Herald: Residents of Rugertown, a
suburb of the post, are interested in
weird concert which was given one
night this week in the parlor Of the
home of Andrew Kuhn. private OF
the army service detachment The
performance did not begin until just
as the old clock in the tower of the
academic building had struck the hour
of midnight, the artist was invisible,
and ghostly sonatas, symphonies and
the like were rendered in wonderful
style. 1t seems that Kuhn, who is an
old resident of the post, had retired
with his family for the night, when
they were aroused by very loud and
thrilling piano playing. The sound
seemed to be coming from the parlor.
Upon their entering the room they
found it quite deserted. The piano lid
was closed, but some invisible agency
was sounding the keys. They were
badly frightened. 1t might have been
cat, but the piano was closed, Or it
might have been rats nibbling the
strings, but the strings have been
found to be uninjured.

Phenomenal Grow, of Bssiness in th+

Sioux City special to st. Louis Globe
Democrat: Such strides has Sioux
City made during the last year that at
the close of business April 80 reports
show 1t stands among the first ten
packing centers Of the country, and
that only one city's receipts Of hogs
exceeded it's receipts; that city was
Chicago and was only 1000 hogs ahead
of Sioux City. From capacity in
1899 for killing 2,400 hogs per day the
plants here now have a capacity ior
killing daily, 5000 hogs in winter, when
there is outside refrigeration, and 1900
hogs daily in summer. This increase
promises to continue, but in less agile
jumps. The increase is largely due to
the opening of the, plant formerly
used by the Silberhorn Packing COM
psny, and long idle, by the Interna-
tional Packing company, which re-
ceived bonus which will not soon be

$550,000. In April the receipts of hogs
at the Sioux City stock yards were al
most double those of the April Of 1899,
being 25,O07 more than in 1899, the
total being 59,243 For the four months
OF the year the increase of hog receipts
here was 1903 1913, the total being 1885,
372. The increase in cattle and hog
receipts has had the effect of swelling
the bank clearings. The clearjngs for
the first four months of 1900 were 3d.
114,S11 more than in 1899, the. total for
1899 being $4,000, 1868; for 1900, $780,
204 $50. The increased business at the
stock yards has had another effect
which may result in people having tc
live in tents during midsummer, the
demand for houses for rent or pur-
chase far exceeding the supply. Every
house and store or Office building in
the city, which covers forty-nine
square miles, has been rented, and
building has begun with an impetus
that has not been known here during
the last ten years.

The Young Man Waxed Humorous About

The Young Man Waxed Humorous About
the Oysters.
There was an oyster famine in De-
troit on Good Friday, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t was owing to the ma
ture of the observance and partly to
the fact that the season for these pop
ular bivalves is waning. And, as US
,ual, when an article is scarce, there
was a great demand for oysters. The
downtown restaurants were fairly be-
sieged with orders that they could not
fill. 1t seemed that everybody incIud-
ing those whose religious leanings i'm
PEELED them to taboo animal food, was
hungry for oysters. At one place the
last stew had just been served to a
young man who regarded it with sus-
picion. Gently stirring the milky way
with his spoon, he was unable to per-
ceive more than the prOverbial lone
oyster working there, and he was soft
ly humming Just Tell Them that You
Saw Me-" when a stylishly dressed
young man entered and called for oys-
tiers, too. There isn't another oyster
in the house, he was told, 'and l
don't believe you'll find any in town"
Say" said the first young man, now
l like to be accommodating, and you
may have this stew | haven't touched
it, as it just came off the fire. AS a
matter of fact, l ordered steak any
way, but guess I was misunderstood. y
mo, thank you,' said the stylishly
dressed young man, I'll try some
where else He, too, seemed suspic-
ious. Then the young man that had
been the victim of circumstances and
an oyster famine went on fishing ex-
cursion, using a cracker as a bait. He
caught two. This is case of oyster
stew, oysters too, and oysters, two
he remarked, regardless of the feel
ings of those around him. And the
waitress charged him double price for
revenge.

PRONOUNCING BOER NAMES.
Vryburg Ii Called Frayburg, Kruger Ii
kreer.


OF the four different ways of pro-
nouncing Kruger's name which are
current, No. l, Kroojer, is vulgar err
ror; No. 2, Krooger, with hard 6, as
in gold" is possible; No. 8, Kreegar.
where the ee is an attempt at the
French vowel sound, is perhaps the
most aristocratic; while No 4, Kreer
(rhyming with Frere) in which the g
entirely disappears, is the one most
frequently heard among the Cape
Dutch themselves. The name of the
other president, Steyn, is pronounced
STAIN" and the same sound is given
to the diphthong Ell or ey, and also to
the vowel y, wherever these occur in
Dutch words. Examples are Leyds
Uaids), Reitz (Rates), Hofmeyer, the
names Bloemfontein (Bloomfontane)
and Graaffreinet (accented on the last
syllable), Vryburg (Frayburg) and
Vryheid (Frayhade). The last two
also illustrate the sound of t. which is
always given to initial in Dutch,
other instances of which are the fam
lily names Villiers Fill-yee or Fill-jee)
and Viljoen (Fillyune or Fill-june). 1t
will be observed that alternative pro-
nunciations are allowed of the j in
both these names. In literary Dutch
this consonant is like the English y,
but at the Cape there is a strong ten
dency to give it the same sound as
in English. Cronje, therefore, may be
called Cron-jay, or, preferably, Cron-
yay, and Joubert either Jew-bear or
You-be Spion kop, of doubtful
fame, is called Spewn kop or Spune
kop.-South Africa.

THE OLD AND THE NEV.

Did it ever occur to you, Attorney
General Knowlton of Massachusetts Is
| reported to have asked the Boston law
yers at recent dinner, that if Daniel
Webster (and l speak his name with
all reverence) to-day came back to the
court room and made one of his argu-
ments before the court and before the
jury he would put everybody to sleep?
We have got by the day of such ora
tions. Even the mastery address Of
Rufus Choate would scarcely go with
the jury of this generation
How this was received is not related.
We suppose the general idea is that
there is much less ''oratory" in court
rooms than there was in the days Of
Webster and Choate. and it is quite
certain that there isn't much like the
oratory of Webster and Choate Still,
we think that If either of those gentle
men were practicing law to-day he
could get the attention Of jury even
if he only used the old-fashioned ora
tory we read about.

only food but store of all kinds Thus,
there are thousands of yards of canvas
for use as shrouds, and operating
boards, wooden legs, hands, arms, be-
sides other surgical appliances. The
utensils used in the preparation Of the
food--called mess traps"--are also sup
piled by the Admiralty.
Wines and spirits are laid in by the
officers at their own cost. The quantity,
however, is limited to the wants of each
mess. The orders to the e-merchant
must be "vised" by the Captain. and he
is supposed to keep careful eye on the
amount consumed. The officers no long,

| Tt has been rather surprising to see
/, that the record Of lynchings in the
South last year shows a decrease in the
number when compared with the num-
Der the year before Still. there were
more than enough, and there will con-
tinue to be more than enough until the
people Of that region change some of
their ways Some Of them are seeing
the need of a change. For instance,
Governor Longino of Mississippi. In
his inaugural address he made strong
denunciation of mob violence and sug-
gested drastic remedies for it's suppress
sion He said that the frequent lynch
ings which had occurred in the State
had tendency to discourage capital
seeking investment as immigrants
were slow to place their money where
life and property We're not sacredly pro-
tected, and that the State could never
hope to attain any degree of prosperity
of statehood while public opinion per-
mitted high handed mobs to treat the
law with contempt, defy the officers of
the courts, and run riot through the
commonwealth As a remedy for mob
violence the governor suggested that
as moral suasion has completely failed,
stringent legal measures should be re-
sorted to. He asked the Legislature to
Immediately pass laws giving to the
family of any person who may hereaf-
ter be lynched fixed sum of damages
against the county in which the lynch
ing occurred, the amount to be recover
able in the Chancery court and to be
sufficiently large to engage public OPP
position to the payment thereof, and
the right of recovery to be predicated
alone on the fact that the lynching oc-

suggested law providing that the Of
