Lord Kitchener,s Hospitality

Lord Kitchener, according to letters
arriving from India, is making a name
for himself at Simla for hospitality. and
the balls. the dinners. and luncheons
that he is giving have entirely dis
PEELED the apprehensions which Anglo
Indian society had formed with regard
to his distaste for all the lighter and
more frivolous things of life. He is de-
clared to possess the best chef in India
and the magnifcence of his plate. as
well as the dainty taste in flowers dis
played by the eommander-in-ch chief. are
quite in keeping with his careful ar
rangements for the comfort OF his
guests and with the infinity of personal
pains which he takes to insure their
enjoying themselves.
There have been no very radical
changes as yet in the military admin
istration of India. Lord Kitchener is
moving cautiously to start with. and
means to learn his India thoroughly be-
fore committing himself to any sweep

Meanwhile his hand is beginning TO

He has taken over to himself the selec-

which had previously been intrusted to
local generals. and has done away with
an immense quantity of red tape, get

Rothschild and Waterloo.

To Leopold Rothschild. the only mem
Der of his race and creed who has OBJ
tanned admission TO the ultra-exclusive
OF dissipating into thin air the ancient
story as 10 how his grandfather first
obtained the news OF the Battle OF
Waterloo. According to his version his
grandfather. who was the owner OF
some ships, instructed his captains that
whenever they sailed from any CONT
mental port. they were always to bring
him the very latest newspapers. One of
these captains arrived with a small
Dutch newspaper. containing a single
line: Great victory Of the English at
Amsterdam"
The old baron took the news to the
treasury and gave the information to
Lord Liverpool. without. however. tell
ing him the means by which he had re-
ceived 1t. 1t seems that Lord Liver
pool ridiculed the baron's information
and attached no Importance to it. as in
telligence had arrived on the previous
evening of the defeat of the English.
Leopold Rothschild likewise states
that during the siege Of Paris, his firm
was kept In constant touch with the be-
leaguered capital by means of letters
sent per pigeon post by his brother-in-
law, Baron Alphonse Rothschfld, who re-
NAMED in the French metropolis
throughout the siege. and thus the
Rothschild firm In London knew at least
fortnight beforehand that Paris was
about to capitulate. Leopold Roths-
child, however. denies that this infor-
nation proved OF any importance from
financial point Of view.

German Americans.

The celebration of German Day"
III Germantown, Pa, recalls the fact
that two hundred and twenty years
ago the first little company of Ger
mans reached the shores of the New
World, led by Pastorius. Since that
tine the current Of German immigra-
ton has been fairly steady, and, espe-
cially since the settlement of the
West, the German element has been
an important one in the development
Of the country.
The assimilation Of the German
colonies has come about so quietly.
and has been effected with such thor
oughness, that few Americans. even
those Of Teutonic ancestry, realize
how numerous these colonies have
been. The politician, depending for
support on the German vote;" the
novelist, studying "local color" In

of the immigrant, have found that the

looking to the doing away of the money
order system by the express companies
and the postoffice department and the
taking UP of the same by the banks:
'In addition to the money order busi-
ness the association will tackle the
question Of admitting trust companies
to state association said he. 'At present
trust companies are not obliged to
keep reserve. This gives them an ad-
vantage that the hanks object to. The
bankers all over the country are TAX
ing steps TO bring the necessary pres
sue TO bear so that the money order
business now transacted by the post
Office department and the express COM
panies shall be controlled wholly by
the banks. The banking associations of
various states have taken the neces-
sary action already, and we expect to
fall in line with our western brethren
and reach an agreement that will en-
able the banks TO conduct this partic-
ular branch of the banking business
advantageously to the general public.
