Of the United States. They also showed
other eccentricities. Oceanic said she
was the reincarnation of Queen Victoria,
and she complained Of the inhospitable
treatment she had received in this country.
The two spoke several languages and 1t

Because they would not pay the land

that they owned the house and requested
her to pack up her things and get out be-
fore Aug. /. She got dispossess notice
