that there is much room for improve
ment in this connection in Washington.
There are a lot of snobs," he averred,
who have come down here from New
York with big bank rolls. and have set
UP customs which are injurious to the
people of the community"
Continuing, he declared that the Sab
bath day should be observed and kept
holy by all classes Of people. that only
such labor as is necessary should be
performed. and that there should be no
mail delivery that day. In this latter
connection he asked, "Why should people
want mail on Sunday, anyway"
He concluded with the hope that the

these evils. and that before a great time
has elapsed the dinner parties Sunday
evenings in the homes of these preda-
tory rich persons will be things of the
past. and they will devote their time

OFFICIAL DENIAL.
Spanish Minister Says There Is No
Trouble in Royal Family.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-The atten-
ton of the Spanish legation having
been attracted by certain publications
to the effect that domestic infelicity
has brought about an estrangement
between King Alfonso and his royal
spouse, Queen Victoria, Minister Reno
today entered an emphatic denial of
the story.
The minister's denial he declares is
based on his personal knowledge as
well as upon that acquired in his
official capacity and he asserts unhes-
itatingly that the royal pair enjoy the
happiest relations. The rumors of a
separation are believed by him to
have been set af1oat by anti-dynastic
influences.
