Europe. now a sad faced exile. who
passes unnoticed IN the crowds. 1t
Is said that IN a recent visit to Paris
she was walking through the gardens
Of the Tulleries, and, in her reverle Of
the past, forgetting that they We're
not still her private pleasure grounds,
picked a flower The guard, not recog-
nizing the quietly garbed and lone
~ woman. reprimanded her harshly.
She bowed her head and gently apollo

Diversified FARMING should be spe-
cialized. writes Professor W. H Wiley
in the Washington Star There is
scarcely a farm in the United States
which IS complete without at least a
few fruit trees. but to grow peaches
or apples for the market in localities
not suited thereto viii only lead to
bankruptcy. Where fruits are TO be
produced for commercial purposes To-
calities must be selected best suited
to their production. Thus the peach
orchards. apple orchards and pear or
chards OF the country win gradually
be collected into areas where soil and
climate are most propitious The same
remark may be applied to the produc-
tion Of cereals Of an kinds ana to small
fruits and vegetables.

Gas Cases Finished

The seeming endless litigation
known as the "Gas cases" has finally
been settled.
In 1892 company, OF which P. 81,
Gross was principal promoter, was
organized to sell ,l'uminat ting gas in
this city, and an expensive system
Of pipe was laid. The company,
however, became bankrupt in q
short time. The creditors brought
suit and tried to collect from the
stockholders. 1t was claimed that
Mr.. Gross had more stock than the
books showed, and was consequently
five times as responsible RS was ap-
parent. Gross resisted payment, and
a great deal Of litigation in the dis
trict and supreme court resulted.
Mr.. Gross was held responsible for
$4,000, with an Offset of nearly 5000
BIS had advanced. He retained the
lot on which the gas house stands,
but finally lost it. The obligations
had been brought up by some OF the
other stockholders, who succeeded in
tying up lot of Gross property, in
Guiding a farm and several lots in
the city. In. the settlement Mr..
Gross pays the original claim and
costs, and had bis property released.
The gas property, now reverts
principally to P. F. Hosch, John
hester, and several others. The
cases were complicated, and all con-
cerled are glad a settlement has been
reached.

CASTING A CHECK.
D1fhculttes Experienced in n Strange
City by a Well-KnOvvn New York
Newspaper Man.

The difficulties of cashing check in
a strange city were experienced the
other night in Boston by well known
New York newspaper man, who con-
ducts one of the chief departments Of
one OF the principal metropolitan
journal, relates the New York Times.
1t happens that he has no friends in the
Hub; that is, no acquaintances. In his
search for some one to cash his check
and it was all he had except few cents
he found several people who, when
he told them who he was confessed to
be daily readers Of his writings, but
either they were temporarily impecuni-
Gus or doubtful that he was the man he
pretended to be.
he had been on a vacation in a rural
district, where the natives made no
hesitation of giving him green ba cks
for the newspaper checks, but when he
struck the city he found things entire
~ different. The hotel clerk remem-
bered him as guest of June, and rec
ognized the Endorsement of the check
and the signature on the register as
the same; but he said that that would
not serve as Identified ton. No news
paper man knew him except by reputa-
ton, and, after Flooding from one Of
flee to another, he was obliged to ask
his office to telegraph on description
of his personal appearance. Then, and
not until them, did he succeed in get
ting ahead of the incredulity of the
hotel clerk and secure money enough
to settle his bill and buy his ticket back
to New York. =
