BATHING AT OSTEND.
Yes, II Is True That Europe Does Some
Things Differently From COney Island.
From Lssiie's Weekly.

From Lssiie's Weekly.
How differently from ourselves Europeans
do some things is shown by the marked con-
trast between the bathing customs and
methods at a typical American beach and
those at leading seaside resort abroad
such, for instance, as Ostend. Belgium. The
American way is too familiar to our readers
to need description. At Ostend. bathing
which is the most striking thing about the
city, Is carried on in accordance with Con-
tinental ideas of propriety most shocking
to the average American. Instead of the
ordinary dressing rooms. Ostend was the
frst place to use the little individual houses
on wheels, into which the intending bather
goes to disrobe and don his or her bathing
suit. The house Ia then wheeled out in the
water by horse driven by man employed
for that purpose. The steps are let down
from the little house and the bather enters
the water without having to promenade
over the sand. At the end OF the BATH the
bather mounts the steps into his little house
and, calling the driver again. has his dressn g
room hauled up high and dry on the shore.
where. having dressed at his leisure, he leaves
the key with an attendant and goes on his
way. The bathing costumes seen at Ostend
are notable for their scantiness. the striking
pecuiarity of which. however, lies in the fact
that the suits worn by the women rarely. il
ever, have any skirts attached to them. every
body--men. women and children. alike. wear
ing tight fitting suits. the suits furnished by
most OF the public bathhouses being Identical
ly the same for both men and women.
The scene on the beach is one OF great
animation. and when the bathers engage.
as they frequently do in a game resembling q
ball. the minglng of vari-colored bathing
suits and the darting hither and thther OF
the bathers at play, now on the beach and

EMgineec Detx.


Ehgineee Detz.
Tho electric elevator in the apartment
house at the southeast corner Of Sixth
avenue and Ninth street got out Of order
yesterday afternoon while crew OF movers
wore hosting up the effects Of new tenant.
Norman Betx, the engineer, went down
into the sub-cellar and found that the cable
had slipped from the grooves in the drum
and was winding over itself. He ran the
car below the level Of the street floor, 80
that no one could touch the starting
switch, and clambered down into the pit
to put the cable back in place.
After he got everything shipshape and
was getting ready TO take up few inches
Of slack In the cable by some mischanoe
he overbalanced, crouching on the drum,
and fell between II and the low wall separat :
ing the motor pit from the elevator shaft
In his fall he gave the drum sufficient
momentum to take up the slack cable, and
he was pinohed, with one leg doubled up
under him. against the drum. His yells
echoed up the elevator shaft and brought
the tenants in panic to the street. Some
body turned in a fire alarm and the cop on
post sent for an ambulance. Nobody
thought OF giving the drum reverse twist
The fremen attacked the brick wall Of
the motor pit with axes and crowbars, and
after twenty minutes they got through to the
engineer. Then Lieut.. Kenny put his
weight on the far side Of the drum and eased
OF until Betz dropped into the slack Of the
cable. The ambulance surgeon could fnd
nothing wrong with him.

CHINA TO SIGN TREATY WITH US.
Commercial Agreement TO Be Ratinet
At Shanghai ON Oct. ..

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
PEKIN, Sept 30.-A tentative agreement
was reached to-day by the Chinese Foreign
Office and Mr.. Conger, the American Min
lister, providing for the signing Of the COM
mercial treaty between China and the
United States at Shanghai on Oct. 8. Mr..
Conger is sanguine that the matter will
20 through on the date mentioned.
The treaty contains an important tariff
difference from that signed with Great
Britain in that there is concession Of IN
per cent. to trade provided the scheme
for the abolition Of the Gkin Is successful.
The apprehension over this scheme has
already caused the likin officials to embezzle
the money so collected and has caused a
large deficit in this source Of revenue. which
is used to pay of the indemnity due the
Powers because of the Boxer outbreak.
The treaty secures the rights Of mission
aries, which have heretofore been sane
toned by practice. 1t provides for the
punishment Of the highest officials Of any
province where outrages on foreigners
occur, protects trade marks, patents and
copyrights and opens Antung and Mukden
to trade. Otherwise the treaty Is the same
as that signed with Great Britain.

VELVET DRESS on CITY DUMP.
Tailor Sent Customer q Box Of Sweepings
Instead Of Her New Gown.

Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner
Clarke of Brooklyn was visited yesterday
by a very excited little man who demanded
immediate attention.
"You have my dress, my velvet dress,
shouted the man, glaring fiercely at the
Commissioner. Il am ruined, ruinedi"
What do you mean2 Are you crazy
asked the Commissioner.
"My dress, my beautiful velvet dress,
is on the dump" was the only answer,
After a time it was learned that the ex-
cited little man was s. Rabinowitz, tailor,
of l52 Smith street. 1t appears that ii is
the habit of the tailor TO give to the Street
Cleaning Department his daily sweepings
from his store. Yesterday morning he
put his sweepings into box. In a similar
box was placed a handsome velvet gown
to be sent to customer. The box contain
the box OF sweepings was sent to the young
woman who was waiting for her new dress.
When she opened the box to inspect it
she nearly tainted, according to Rabin-
owitz. Recovering quickly, however,
she hurried to the little tailor's shop
and demanded what he meant by such
conduct.
-You can see what plight-o oh, my
business will be ruined, walled the tailor.

ent of the dumps and the much priced
box was found and returned, the beautiful
