LoNDoN's coSTERMoNGERS.,

The London costermonger is an
Institution whom we should not
willingly let die. A strong movement
is on foot to get him removed as a
nuisance by the new borough coun-
ellis, and he is organizing to fight it.
As there are 10000 of him in Lon
don, he has a chance of winning.
His chief value for those who do
not deal with him lies chiefly in his
Independent attitude toward Lon
don life. His characteristic dress
has been made familiar to us by
Mr.. Chevalier and is modelled on a
style that is absolutely his own. The
rich eruption of buttons all over the
coat and along the seam of the trou-
sers, as well as the generous down.
ward amplification of the latter gar
ments, are, we believe, the fruit Of
his own hayward fancy.
As to his wives and daughters,
they have the distinction of being
the only persons who use plush as
a dress material, sometimes for the
whole costume, often in the form Of
a short cape, always as a decorative
trimming. Their great hats, crown
ed with brilliantly dyed feathers, are
just as peculiar, and we hear with
pain the rumor-we hope it is no
more-set afoat by contemporary,
to the effect that these are being dis
carded in favor of what ladies have
agreed to call Sailor" What a
coster lady can dress decently upon
is as much a matter of dispute with
them as it is with US. But a gentle
man can obtain a suit Of stylish cut,
with copious ''pearly" buttons of
horseshoe shape, for the sum of 30
shillings, which may be paid in
monthly installments. - London

Pan-AmeriCan Hint.

The great Pan-American EXPOSE
ton has realized fully the expeota-
tions of the managers, while the
great public is more than pleased
with the artistic and inventive dis
plays provided.
The creative genius apparent in the
architecture of the many buildings is
without equal, and the effects OBJ
tanned through the marvellous color
decorations are simply astounding.
The landscape work has developed
the grounds into perfect paradise.
The exhibits are chosen lot and far
superior in comparison are they to
those of all other expositions.
Buffalo, as a city is a most delight
full place, and excursions can be made
in every direction to localities in
tensely interesting, but the greatest
attraction save the Exposition il
Niagara Falls, which is truly one oil
the marvels of the world. The Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad is making
every inducement possible for the
benefit of the tourist to Buffalo from
New England. The rates are the
lowest-the routes most numerous

without question the best equipped
of any from Boston. The General
Passenger Department of the Boston

HORRORS Of CAMP LIFE.

/, A cable message from London says:
Miss Hobhouse and a lady companion
have been arrested in South Aslicl and
presumably deported. The reason for
the deportation Of Miss Emily Hob
house from South Africa will not be
at all matter of mystery to those
who have closely followed the conduct
of the Boer war.
Miss Hobhouse went to South Africa
last January as the representative of
a charitable committee formed in Eng
land for the purpose of raising and
administering fund for the relief of
distress among the South African
women and children. She began her
work at the Bloemfontein camp on
January 26, and afterward visited the
camps at Norval's Point, Aliwal North,
Springfontein, Kimberley, Mafeking,
returning to Bloemfontein on April %.
Since then she has spent much of her
time distributing supplies to the re-
concentrates and in some fashion
ameliorating their hard condition. The
