Guarding the Bank of England.

The Bank of England's nightly guard
is drawn from the guards stationed in
the Tower~of London. The custom of
providing a little garrison of guards
for the Bank of England every night
dates back to 1880, the time of the
Gordon riots. The troops are mnde
very comfortable in the bank, and the
officer in command is provided with a
dinner for himself and two friends.
OF course an allowance of wine, sat
isfactory from both points of view, is
made. The vaults Of the Bank Of Eng
land would make fine robbing. They
frequently contain fifty millions ster-
ling. Several keys are necessary to
open the lock to the whitewashed
vaults, and each key is in the posses
sion of a different person. The gold
lies piled on trucks to facilitate re-
moval or Is heaped against the walls

FAILED TO BRING CLOTHES
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Families Are Disconnected By Their
WaSherWOmen.

There are hundreds of households
in Aemricus where this is far from
merry Christmas when it comes to
providing clothes for the members of
the family to wear Because it rained
practically all of last week and the
negro women had no way to dry the
family wash entrusted to their care
there were many who had to report
that they were unable to deliver the
wash at the end of the week. This
knocked out the schedule of many
homes, and if this week isn't fair,
even greater inconvenience will be
caused.

The crowds came back" yesterday
and Americas business streets pre-
scented almost the busy appearance
of Saturday last, the real Christ
mas Eve Every train arriving here
yesterday came damned to the plat
forms, and thousands of out-of-town
people thus swelled the host of buy
ers in the stores. The wretched
weather preceding the recent holiday
kept hundred away from Americas
and these belated ones come now
with the Christmas aftermath This
will be repeated every day this week
the weather permitting, and much OF
the holiday business that was lost by
the local merchants last week will be
in part regained.
