1t was Dewey week. The visit OF
the hero of Manila was the event which
overshadowed all else, and precluded
all notion of social entertainments for
several days at least. While commit
tees were busily engaged in prepare
tory work, however, several OF the
clubs gave their most elaborate affairs
of the winter. There were three brill
liant masquerade balls, and they served
in themselves to make the week
notable one. Lent is rapidly approach
ing. Some of the woman's club have
already announced a discontinuance of
their stated meetings until after Eas-
ter. Others will do so during the COM
ing six days. The penitential season
will be observed in the usual way, and
by the usual number. There will be
some small affairs, but no elaborate
entertainments. as those who conform
to the GQ1yentionalities of the period
are Sufficiently numerous to jeopardize
the success of any function which
might be attempted.

act as United States consul at Harpoot
the indications point to some retalia.
tory measures on the part of our
government in the near future. The
Turkish contention now is that they
permitted United States consulate to
be established at Ezeroum under an
implied understanding that the United
States would abandon its claim to
consulate at Harpoot. That there was
some shadow of foundation for this
understanding is admitted, but it is
still the purpose Of the United States
to establish this consulate because the
British government has since been per-
mitted to locate a consul at Harpoot
and, under the favored nation clause
OF our treaty with Turkey, the United
States government claims the same
, commercial privileges as Great Britain.
There IS, beside, peculiarly potent
reason for the presence. of United

Most Important and Flouri.hing

located in the Armenian district where

August 3, 1897.
Ny Dear Sydney:
Yours received. Il is Indeed good
thing that you have at last realized thas
neither You nor Lionel know how TO treat
the younger mon who are under you.
You are also right In telling l.. that even
now in permitting me TO charge you with
$500 Is not the proper way to handle me,
and / should think not, and don't want
to have 1t under such conditions Ii Is
outrageous that the firm can pIace It's

We have never used his services,
having realized that / am we'll able an
oompstent to take full charge here, and
yet notwithstanding the fact that l am
doing all that SIR. Cudd1e would have
DONE, the firm does not even allow me
a proper living salary. For you know
that my income alone Of S21U0 is not
sufficient. 1 am at least enti tied to 5000
year, and tha interest on my deposit
account would only be S4O0 year more
and as the firm was willing to pay Cud-
die Slhg0 year surely it can spare that
much and at the same time save $ll00 a
year on Cuddle. Therefore l repeat that
instead OF putting me under still more
obligations and making me more depend-
ent by giving me $3.50 to be charged to
you increase my income sufficiently to
make me entirely independent ana enable
ms TO run my private affairs witho Mt
having to bother outsiders. | ENCLOSE you

No such name as Sydney samuel could
be found in the Boston directory, but In
the New York directory appeared the
name "Sidney l.. Samuel. agent, 123
Duane place, Hotel st. Lorenzo" This
was the only name whioh came anywhere
near that which was given by the man
who ki lied himself.
No Information could be obtained last
night regarding the orders for trunks
given by the flrm Of "H. and A. Allan, !"
to ths Boston and Maine baggage master.
1t was evident that the man had only
recsntlv returned from London and he
had probably made his trip over the
ocean on one OF the Allan line steamships
but which one 1t could not he asoertained

man was from London and was a He
brew.
