HOLDING TIE DUKE DOWN.
Zimmerman Won't Give Him Any Cash,
Even for Cigarettes.
fSpnctal IN Tho POST

Even for Cigarettes.
Especial TO The Post.)
New York, December pa World ca
blegram from London says: There is much
amusement In England over the arrange
ments for the Manchester menage. The
young duke seems TO be a cipher in his
own house, and although all his expenses
are paid he Is never given n slxpeuce to
spend by either his father-in-law or his
wife. The duchess has an allowance of
course, yet she has anything but n free
hand. and all their bills even small house
keeping accounts. are paid by Zimmerman
checks.
Mr.. Zimmerman is by no means recon
cfled to his daughters marriage. but he
has settled large sum OF money on her
first child. and, contrary to the expecta-
lions and to the Wish of the different
members OF the Manchester family. he Is
prepared TO consider It as the eldest child,
instead OF reserving his money TO bestow
on n possible future son and heir. People
are wondering If the duke would have felt
inclined to marry an heiress ender these
conditions had he known that his mother
was coming into large sum Of money.

II is still an open matter as to the
location of the state Odd Fellow $
home. There should be some sort
of a move on the part of Morgan
town to get that home. There are
plenty of places around here that
might be secured and it would be a
good thing to have.
MORE houses are needed here and
they are needed right away. There
isn't vacant house in the town and
people can't find places to stay.
Rents are high enough TO guarantee
a good percentage on the investment
and the property will never be worth
any less than it is right now. These
things ought to be enough TO cause
people to tumble to the situation.

the way that lots are selling up

there is a good time ahead and if il
gets some factories, that thought will
be found to be the correct one.
In a great many other towns be-
sides Morgantown tire merchants
have formed protective associations
to protect themselves from fake ad
vertisements. In all cases they have
found that about the only adyertis-
ing that paid was that in the news

that if he had taken space in every
worthless scheme presented to him
in the past year he would have given
away nearly all the profits OF his
business and received practically
nothing in return.

But tons for the Church.

There is far more in the oft-repeated
statement that old buttons if useful
Tor no other purpose may serve as an
Offering to the Lord. It is recorded as
fact that clergyman's wife was
mending clothes for her boys when one
Iof her neighbors called in to have
friendly chat. 1t was not long before
the visitors eye was attracted by q
large basket more than half filled with
buttons. The lady could not help re-
marking that there seemed a very good
supply of buttons. Thereupon she he
gan to turn them over and suddenly
exclaimed: Here are two buttons ex-
actly the same as those my husband
had on his last winter suit. I shou,d
know them anywhere" Indeed" said
the clergyman's WIFE, 81 am surprised
to hear it. AS all these buttons were
found in the collection bag Thought
/ might as we'll put them tt. some use"
Before she had finished speaking the
visitor hastily arose and said she must
be going.

Cheap Meals In London.

Speaking of cheap restaurants"
said a gentleman who has just return
ed from a visit to London, to WASH
ington Star writer, reminds me of
dining saloon in the Whitechapel dis
trict of London, where relishing and
fairly substantial meal may be had for
half a penny, or one cent in our money.
This cheap repast is not served up in
the shape of a cut from a joint and two
vegetables. 1t is a big brown pie, very
juicy and very hot The absence of
beefsteak is evident when you cut the
pie, but you find inside liberal
sprinkling of sleeps liver, onions and
turnips, and plentiful supply of
gravy. For half penny extra two
slices of bread and cup of tea are
supplied. Between the hours of twelve
and two the poor and hungry from all
parts of the east side of the city flock
to the dining room. Most of the pat
rons are shoeblacks, penny toy men,
;ostermongers, and now and then
young clerks whose salaries will not
permit them to indulge in a more cost.

Where Large Profit. Arc Made.

Jokes about dressmakers' bills have
been threshed out by the comic jour-
nails time out of mind; but a recent re-
port of profits made in the English pa
pers by a well known Paris establish
ment, one though by no means among
the most famous, would seem, in its
Alnascher proportions, to justify them
all. To be sure, 1t is a report to share
holders, and it's publication is in the
nature of an advertisement; but the
figures given are astonishing. The
concern started modestly in Paris ten
years ago, and the profits of the first
year We're $3.50; they jumped in the
following four years to the following
figures: $4,000. $4,000, $164,000, 1884,
900. 1t was then thought best to turn
the adjustment into a stock compa-
ny, with limited liability, capitalized at
$2,20O,o0o. The profits of the company
for the last four years were $264,O00,
$296OOo, $327, 900 and Sab, 900; that is to
say $1,300,OO0 net profits, or more than
half Of the nominal capital in four
years. One cause, for the amount Of
business, is, perhaps, the practice of
giving credit to customers, the books
showing an indebtedness to the COM
pany of sS7S.00O. There is no doubt
that the business is profitable, and the
bills proportionately high.-New York

had some land to sell.

"Well, know him. He lives about
three miles out of town."
"Can I get a horse to take me out
there?"
Yes; but it won't do you any good?"
SIS he seriously ill?"
mot that I know of, but he wouldn't
see the president Of the United States
before next Wednesday. If you can
wait eight or ten days you can get to
talk about that land of his"
"Then Mr.. Wharton has got some
special business on hand for a week."
I asked.
you can gamble that he has, strang-
er. Yes, sir, it's special business, and
no mistake. At noon to-day he and old
Pete Davis sat down to a game Of

All any member Of the family has to
do IN order to become n resting place
for the dear little winged creature Is
to say:
"Tweet, tweet; Dusky come to me-"
Down comes the tiny fellow from
mirror, mantle piece, back of chair or
anywhere he happens to be on, and
makes straight for the top Of the head
Of the person who called him. If the
head moves too much, its feathery oc-
cupant hops to the shoulders.
1t is very amusing to watch him as
he inquisitively peers up into the per-
sons face. Every few seconds he gent
ly peeks at the corner Of the mouth Of
any one on whose shoulder he has
alighted.
But the most wonderful thing of all
is that if he is told to sing he will at
once start to do so. The request must
be accompanied by a sound resem-
bling the word rush" or lavish" or
anything with Ssh in it. Dusky at
times ceases his explorations around
the room, settles himself to his music,
and sends forth the most beautiful
song, seemingly in perfect rapture.

where a nickel is not a welcome me-
dunn Of exchange, because nothing so
cheap is sold, but it is hard to believe
that there is a street stand which
would not welcome a five-cent pur-
chase. If any one is curious in this re-
gard let him go to one of the fruit
stands in Cortlandt street, near the
Pennsylvania railroad ferry, and try
to make such a purchase, says the New

other day, pointing to a loose pile of
the little red fruit. GAS much as all

and not for a single minute did he
cease busting bunch of bananas. The
intending purchaser waited a moment,
then crossed the street and repeated
his request to another stand. well,
you're a cheap one!" exclaimed the
vender. "You want to spend whole
nickel do you?" He did not stop sort
ing oranges. The man who longed for
cherries tried a third stand. 1--WE
can't sell you less than a dimes worth
of anything at these stands" replied
the man in charge. you'll find an Ital-
ian up the street who will take the

he didn't want cherries after all, and,
going into a cigar store, bought a
whole bunch of cigarettes with the
money.

pecresex in the House of Lord.

England is Interested in the preten-
sions of certain English women, who
are peeresses in their own right and
believe they can sit in the house Of
lords if they choose and help govern
the empire. 1t is centuries since
peeress has done it, but there is to be
fancy-dress coronation in London next
year, and London gossip says that GER
tain of these self regulating peeresses
propose to go to it as members of the
house Of lords, and have their trains
borne by pages, as the peers do. 1t
seems to be an exceedingly proper pur-
pose, and ought to be applauded, not
by women suffragists alone. but by
everyone who likes a noble show fifty
