the barber shop there had come across

and better accommodations, had TAX

and to get IL he had to pay hand
some premium. E. X. Holden of the
banking firm of s. r. Holden g. Co.,
70 Broad street, was the occupant of
the tonsorial apartment. He said he
considered himself fortunate in being
able 20 come across as he did, and that
there were about 1000 other Ameri-
cans on the other side who would
have been only too glad to take his
place had he for any reason been un-
able to leave at the appointed time.
Mr.. Holden has been in London for
several months, promoting an oil con-
Germ and expects to return there soon
in the Fuerst Bismarck. He had To
come home to attend to some pressing
business and after vainly trying to Sc
cure passage on several transatlantic
liners thought of the barber shop in

in London thought a while and finally
told him that Il he would sign paper

would be worth about $4,000, prob

The so-called BLACK Prince ruby
derived its name from the fact that il
was given to Edward, the Black Prince,
by Don Pedro of CASTLE in gratitude
for the victory of Logrono in April
1867, which restored the throne OF
Spain to Don Pedro. Henry V. wore II

1t Is also estimated that there are

To awaken the farmers of the West
to the need of raising plantations of
