Reciprocity Bill Passes,

Washington, Nov. 19.-The house
today, by a rising vote of 1876 to 2l,
passed the bill to make effective the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. The OLSEN
ting vote were about equally divided
between Republicans and Democrats,
but there is no record of the vote, the
minority having too few votes to order
the yeas and nays. The Democrats
under the Leadership of Williams,
fought to the last to secure an amend
ment TO the bill in accordance with
the action of the Democratic caucus,
but were defeated steadily. The de-
bate was tegun on Monday and con
tinued up to within few minutes of
4 o'clock, the time appointed to take a
vote on the final passage of the bill.

The tax payers are slow this month
and the collectors will probably not be
rushed with making out receipts until
the last OF this week. Next Monday
will be the last day to pay before the

repairing and charging the clover

An alcohol rub at bedtime will go
far toward breaking up insomnia. Let
the rubber begin with the forehead and
temples of the sleepless one. paying
particular attention to the spine and
back of the neck. Rub the alcohol
gently but firmly into the body, work
ing gradually down to the feet, and
probably the patient will fall asleep
before the rubbing is completed. One
night or even one week of rubbing
would not he likely to bring back per-
manent habits of sound. healthy slum-

coNsTANTINoPLE.
II Has Perhaps the Finest Site For =
City In the World.

Constantinople looks much better
from the water than 1t does when view
ed ashore. The tourist who touches at
the port. remains on board and sees the
city only from the sea retains an en-
tirely different impression from that Of
him who goes ashore. Seen from the
water Constantinople is very beauti-
full. Seen from the shore, it is the
apotheosis of everything that is filthy
and foul. do not say that II is I'M
worthy of a visit, but do say that he
who stays on board will take away a
much more picturesque impression.
The site of Constantinople is ideal
There is probably no finer site for
city in the world. 1t is situate on the
Bosporus. between the Mediterranean
and the Black seas. Ii lies between Eu-
rope and Asia. for Scutari Is part of
Constantinople, and Scutari is on the
Asiatic shore. II is cut Off by natural
boundaries into municipal divisions
for the Golden Horn divides Stamboul.
the Mohammedan. from Galata. the
Christian. city. So the Bosporus d.
vides Scutari. the Aslatic from Con-
stantinople. the European, city; yet all
of these places make one great city
under the general name of CONSTANT
nople. And this great city is guarded
also by nature. 1t has the sea of Mar
mora close at hand. with Notifications
at either end of this great water high
way. rendering the city unassailable
by sea. 1t has a peninsular conforma-
ton which also renders it. properly for
tilted. impregnabe by land as well as
by sea. 1t is as If San Francisco were
to have batteries of heavy artillery all
around her water front, from India
basin to the preside. from the preside
to Lake MERGED and then across the
neck of the peninsula from Lake Mer-
ced to India basin. With all these fac
tors in its favor no wonder that Con-
stantinople has always been looked
upon as an ideal site for city. That
so many races should have battled over
Byzantum for so many hundreds of
years is not surprising.-Argonaut.

GERMAN STUDENT DUELS.
When Contests Are Over the Princi-
nails Resemble Butchers.

I'm spite of the edict against it, duel
ling is still the chief sport of the Ger
man university students" said an old
New Yorker, just home from Europe, to
the writer.
The subject had come up in a con-
versation about the Frisco prize fight,
and had drifted to sport in general.
Yes" went on the returned traveller,
1.-The German student loves his duel.
The number of challenges to serious
combat have been probably fewer dur
ing the last year. the majority of the
duels being of a sporting nature-that
is. they are fought chiefly in the spirit
of an American anna teur boxing match
The duels of a serious nature often arise
out of some petty matters-a student
NAV iostle another in the street. or not
return another's greetings. The latter
was the cause of a combat which I wit
messed recently in the beautiful old uni
versity town of Heidelberg, where the
duelling corps meets frequently and
well-nigh openly.
1.-The duelling ground of the old Held
elberg student is at an old eighteenth
century inn-the Wirtshus yum HirSchen
where for over one hundred and twenty
wears the clash of the sword has been
heard. Around the walls of the chief
rooms of this tavern you find drawings
of famous meetings of swordsmen
whose names are handed down with
pride from generation to generation of
members of the duelling organizations.
1.-The duels, which usually occur on
Saturday. are decided in the historic.
spacious 'saal.' to which only members
lof the duelling clubs are admitted.

London Bridge.

The widening of London bridge is
making very good progress, and already
the handsome stone balustrade to the
new footway is in position at the south
ern end, while the whole of the girder
work has been accomplished. But for
esthetic reasons 1t would be extremely
convenient to retain the temporary pas
ages for foot passengers on either side
of the bridge. The amount of time that
must have been saved to those passing
across the bridge since they were erect
ed during the crowded times of the day
is incalculable. The problem Of cross
river traffic will ne<~r be satisfactorily
solved until we have bridges after the
model of that at Brooklyn. where there
are separate roads for vehicular traffic,
railways and passengers. Sooner or
later those dreadful drain-pipe struc
lures the Clearinghouse and Cannon
street bridges will have to be rebuilt
after this plan. Not till then will this
part of the Thames be relieved from the
reproach of being the most hideous river
in the world.-London Chronicle.

match between Holcomb Ward and w.

honey, the British players met at the
same time. Ward and Clothier were
viewed as the best of the home players,
entered in the tournament and their
meeting assumed corresponding i'm
portance. Ward was slightly the favor
ite.
The first set of the Ward Clothier
match was a struggle to break through
service. Clothier succeeded in doing
this in the sixth game. After that
Wards playing fell off somewhat and
he lost service again in the eighth game.
ClOthier took the set, GO.
The points in the second set were
closer than in the firstgbut Clothier won,
Ga
The third set was marked by splen-
did burst of speed by Ward when the
score was so against him. He ran five
straight games of the set and allowed
his opponent only six points in the first
games. He won, 7-5.
