HOUSES ALL MIXED UP.
House Numbers in Aberdeen All In
Confusion.

Owing to a mistake made by the
Aberdeen city council in 1888. the sys-
tenn of numbering stores and residen-
ces in this city is cousing considera-
Bile inconvenience. Instead of start
ing the numbers with the beginning of
the block, start was made before
the block was reached, and, as re-
suit, the numbers of every building in
the city are wrong. There is every
probability that the council will
cause the error to be rectified at
once. Mail carriers are complaining
about the absence Of numbers on the
residences, and it is likely that the
council will make the change in the
numbering without delay, and then
take steps to see that every house is
provided with number.

Will Continue the Fight.

Monsieur Citreon, the Partisan jeweler
who Is fighting against paying the 100000
additional duty demanded by the govern
ment upon Mrs. w. B. Leeds pearls, made
another strenuous effort yesterday after
noon to change the mind Of Assistant Sec
rotary Reynolds of the Treasury Depart

department was determined to prosecute
the suit 1t began two or three days ago
Monsieur Citreon proposed that he be al
lowed to take the pearls out of the county
and get back the $4,000 duty he has al
ready paid. Mr.. Reynolds told him that he
had no objection whatever to his taking the
pearls away to France or any other old
place, but the government is not in the
habit of returning duties paid and will not
in this case. Rather than lose his 500 600
NJ. Citreon said that he would continue to
fight the case.
