Toronto, Out., March I.— Speaking at a mass meeting of Liberals in East York last night. Sir Richard Cartwright said that the government appeared to have adopted the policy of letter stealing, and then made the following charge: "The other day 1 noticed a letter which our secretary had addressed to a gentleman in Hastings, but which, ap parently.had never reached that gentle man. The address was plain, but the letter had gone to the dead letter office, been opened there and sent, not to the secretary, as 1 think the law re quires, but to the government candidate for West Hastings, who forthwith published it. 1 advised the Becretaiy to set the law in motion to as certain how it comes to pass in a country like this, where we might hope at least the privacy of the mails would be respected. that letters ad dressed to a certain person go to the dead-letter office, and thence to a political opponent of the man to whom they are addressed. 1 have come to consider it dangerous for me to send 'letters, as my writing is tolerably well known to the gentlemen on the other side of politics. More than one case has come to my knowledge where, by accident I suppose, my letters did not get to the dead letter office, but the seals were broken as if somebody or other had been making himself acquainted with their con tents." Referring to Van Home's manifesto, he alluded to Van Home as dictator-in chief to her majesty's government in Canada, lie condemned the manifesto as a mistake, and added: "Van Home is. in a certain sense, trustee of the people of Canada, for his company has been enormously benefited by the gifts of the people. lie ought in his position as Sir John Macdonald's lieutenant, to be extremely careful not, by ill-advised and fool ish language, to provoke re taliation and animosity oil the part of the people of the United States. It is known to every person well in formed of the state affairs that there exists at this time in the United States a very ugly feeling, and Van Home himself admits it, against our great railway systems, and notably against the Canadian Pacific. It is at this moment that Mr. Van Home chooses to follow the lead of the premier, who went out of his way to insult the American people, Ft is a thing which ought to have brought down upon him the censure of his directors, if he has directors, and is not autocrat of the railway, as he seems to be autocrat of the government of Canada/ WOP.KIXGMEX WARM. A Circular by Treasurer Seeberger JfTB Stirs Them Dp. Chicago, March 1. — Chicago organ ized labor is in arms over letters from Treasurer Seeberger, of the world's fair directory, as to unpaid stock. A circu lar received by Mr. Measlier reads: "Mv collector reports that you, in company with a number of persons, ev idently of the same family, decline to pay the installments due on your sub scriptions to this company because you want first to learn whether or not the work on the fair buildings is to be done by union or non-union labor. 1 want to inform you that this has nothing what ever to do with Ihe ques tion; but, even if the ques tion were absolutely fixed as to whether union or non-union men were to be employed, it has nothing whatever to do with your obligation to this subscription list. This company does not propose to have any one dic tate what shall or shall not be done. The names of delinquents are being turned over to a collecting attorney, and you will find that such excuse will not prevail." The world's fair directory has taken no action iii the demands of the labor unions. At the meeting of the trades assembly to-day the subject was warmly discussed, and a delegation was selected to meet a committee of the state senate, which is to assemble in Chicago to morrow, to investigate the world's fair labor troubles. The demands are an eight-hour day, $1.50 to bo the minimum of wages, the total exclusion of alien labor, and as far as practicable, of non union labor. -^ THE WINTER MONTH. : February Makes a Record Last Month Very Cold. Minnesota winters are surely under going a change. A study of the mete orological record shows that there is a dec : dcd tendency in late years to con centrate the winter in the month of February. The old-fashioned winters, which began in October and lasted until March, have disappeared, and in their stead we have no decided winter until after the new year. The February just completed was much colder than the average— in tact, it was the coldest February, with three exceptions, in the past twenty-one yean;. The mean tem perature was 11 deg, as against a mean in that time of lit (leg. In those twenty one years, the coldest February — deg— was in 1875, and the warmest— 32 deg— in I >. Last month there were eleven days of below-zero weather. The coldest day was the -Uh, when 25 deg was readied, and the warmest the nth, when the mercury soared to 44 deg. The greatest daily range of temperature was 38 deg on the 4th, and the least was <> ueg on the 'Mi. The pre cipitation la.st month was i.is inches, the greatest in the past eight years for a February. There were it "cloudless days, 11 partly cloudy anil 8 cloudy. THE CAIRO SHORT LINE. Us President Denies It* Reported Sale. St. Lois, Mo., March I.— A dispatch from New York last evening announced that the Vanderbilts, through the Big Four people, had purchased the Cairo Short line. President and General Manager George \V. Parker was asked whether any negotiations were going forward for the sale of the property and he gave a decided answer in the negative. "The Hi:: Four," said Mr. Parker, "recently purchased the Old Bee Line, which was the main line property of the St. Louis, Alton A: Terre Haute. The latter company operates what is known as the Cairo short line, and the reported purchase of * that road probably arose from the fact j that the Big Four negotiations for the t purchase of the Bee line were I conducted with the Cairo short I line managers and directors. There is no movement in any direction looking to the sale of the property." As to recent rumors to the effect that Pres ident Parker would shortly retire from the active management of the road, lie said that he had no such idea. <;vs will be cheap. Consolidation of the St. Louis Companies. St. Loins, March I.— A deal in light by which the Laclede Gaslight company becomes the sole possessor of the Mis souri Electric Light and the Municipal Electric Light and Power companies is a fixed fact. Negotiations for the purchase of the two properties will be consummated at the meeting of the stockholders of the Laciede to be held May :.'. The purchase price is §1.000,000. The principal effect the deal wit! have will be to lessen the price of gas con siderably, and in the event of the in troduction of fuel gas, upon which the company is now figuring, the price will be forty cents per thousand.

THE -.SAINT PAUL DAILY GLVBE: MONDAY MORKIJSG, .'3MAKCH 2, lSyi. A DAY WITH DAVID. How the Handsome Bachelor Governor of New York Lives. . Jeffersonian Simplicity, Til den Method and Grant Tenacity. Statecraft an Exclusive Pas sion and a Liberalizing: Art. He Eats Well, But Does Not Drink or Smoke— His Walks. Ai.h.vnv, N. V., Feb. 27.— "Out Bach elor Governor,'' This is a very popular toast in the city that knows so well the chief executive of the Empire State, David Bennett Hill. Other cities know him personally, and his political fame has swept from ocean to ocean, but here at the capital of the state he has become a social as well as a political factor. Bill's personality has many sides. It is hard even for his friends to know the man. The governor is kuown to every body. There is a great deal of dignity in the governor, not born altogether of ofticial life, but innate and natural to him. To those who only see him as the public servant he is distant, reserved, aud seemingly cold. It takes time to thaw this ice, but underneath it runs a cur rent of geniality which, warming through acquired confidence, melts away reserve. People at large will hardly believe how completely this reserve can disap pear. Hill and humor seem as far apart ■is were mercy and Napoleon. Yet the governor enjoys a joke, and I nave seen him throw himself upon a sofa, boating his knees and shaking with laughter, like any school boy. In these moments of relaxation Hill is an enjoyable companion. The man is so keyed up all the time to concert pi tcli by the strain of official life and the responsibility ot party leadership that when these moments come lie tries hard to stretch them into hours. The governor would find the hours of pleas ure would come far more frequently if he had some one at home to drive away dull care and heavy thought. If ill's Tiiiue-Locked Heart. But there is no hope. He is a con firmed bachelor. Budding beauty, scheming spinsters and designine mothers have tried their arts in vain. Love may laugh at locksmiths, but Hill has a combination that beats him. Cupid will have to take lessons from a first class safe breaker and use dynamite to gain an entrance into Hill's heart. Yet those who would say that Hill is a woman hater are wide of the mark. He loves them, but as a whole. Still there is a goddess who lives with him at the executive mansion. lie woos her night after night in the solitude of his bachelor's study and carries out her mandates at his chamber in the capitol. She is a siren whose soft voice and beckoning finger has hived many a roan to his ruin, She is the goddess of poli tics and to her alone is the governor welded. Hill says that politics is his only recreation. The world says that ii i> lii^ business. It is interesting to watch the governor daily going his way from his desk to his home. A feeling of pity will come into one's mind as he thinks ot what a cheer less existence his must be. There goes a man fagged out with a hard day's work to a lonely meal, with hours to .spend alone before he can \om himself in sleep. What can he do to pass the time. How are his evenings spent? Reading will do for a time, and friends may drop in sometimes for a social chat, but there must be hours and hours and hours which would hang upon an ordinary man and drive him nearly crazy with their monotony. Not so Hill. Most bachelors have their clubs, whist and their various dis sipations. Hill will have none of these. Then whit does he do in the long dull hours of evening? He has reveries. They are not the dreams of the bache lor of story; no rosy picture of home, wife and children is framed by the circling smoke of a fragrant cigar." lie doesn't smoke. Wbere Fancy Lead* Him. He sits down by the grate fire and his goddess takes her seat by his side. Then before his half closed eyes troop the counties of the state. Un their banners are emblazoned the respective majorities of the two great parties. He smiles at Chemung. Onondaga brings a frown and as Montgomery is flitting by die procession halts. The dreamer smiles again as these figures change and the democracy leads. New York dips her banner low aud Kings trails hers on the ground in reverence. Jef terson and Oswego appear. They wheel out from the line. Hill sees him self leading the Democratic forces in these two counties to their first victory and beholds a change upon their ban iH IS. Nightly this parade takes place, and daily the dreamer, then wide awt'ke, at tacks the weak spots of the enemy, dis covered in his reveries. Of late this ghostly parade has wreathed the dream er s Tare in one continuous smile. The figures on nearly all the banners are re versed. Such is Hill. To his never ending thinking and acting for his party does the Democracy of the state owe its present taste of power aud its bright !ioi>es lor the future. It is the nearest approach to perpetual motion that has yet been discovered. Is Hill more than an exceedingly ciever politician. He was not six jears ago. but he has broadened. In spite of what the mugwumps say the governor is a remarkable man in many respects, lieeognizing his deficiencies, his ambi tion has led him to devour every word on statecraft that he couid possibly ob am. The life and public papers of every statesman in every country have be come as familiar to him as the constitu tion of his state. Doth sides of every political question that has arisen at Washington in olden and modern times have been studied by him. A close student of Hill's policy as governor, it is saifl. can easily detect the effect of his reading and study. Mudeiit oi 'lircat Blaster*. He affects Jeffersonian simplicity, follows Tilden in policy and Grant in tenacity of purpose. He is more careful than bold, more alert than decided, more diplomatic than all. Be is not eloquent. There are hundreds of men far below Hill in mental capacity who are better ••talkers." Given time. Hill will pre pare a speech dear in argument and thoroughly cover his subject, lie will deliver it well. He knows just how much of a speaker he is and never wades uevond his depth in oratory. In this, as with all othtfr things through which he is brought in contact with the public, the governor is most careful aid most solicitous about effect Men may differ with Hill on all other points. i>ut they must agree that he never did a silly thing or assumed or could lw forced into playing the role of a foolish man. A day with the governor is not oi.ly an interesting experience, but discloses the many skies of bis nature. He rises shortly before 8 o'clock every morning, winter and summer. The habits of the governor are particularly methodical and regular. A half hour is sufficient for the governor to complete his toilet. The loom in which, In-" sleeps contains only the barest necessities and theplaiu ,c_it possible furniture. It is not a bar ren apartment, but in comparison to the luxuriousness eharacteristicof the other rooms of the mansion it Is a veritable dungeon cell. I doubt if any $15 a week clerk in New York would exchange his bedroom for the governor's without the office thrown in. Yet. the room is com fortable and thoroughly in keening with the occupant's simple tastes. Simplicity at Breakfast. At breakfast the bill of fare never changes. It consists of an orange, oat meal, one egg, a cnp of coffee and some dry toast. Even when the governor is at the Hoffman house in New York, or at the seaside, the meal is the same.' While there is no excuse for the gov ernor to make so slight a meal away from home, he probably feels compelled to do so here, because he digests the Albany morning papers at breakfast. He is always at the executive cham ber by ii o'clock. People on the route between the mansion and the capitol , set their watches by the governor's: coming and going to work, he leaves the mansion at 8:45, and turns the corner of Eagle and State streets at 8:55 sharp. He always walks. As a rule. Albany sidewalks ars more slippery than any places he has struck . in poli tics. He passes over them with the same care that characterizes his official acts. The governor never strides, but walks lightly and hurriedly, When ice covers the pavement he has a peculiar habit of extending his arms from the shoulders and balancing himself with them. BJB Other governors have kept horses.' Hill says bluntly he can't afford to. The salary is ?10,000 a year, with nothing al lowed but the mansion and its lighting and heating. It is true that Hill has no expensive tastes, but he entertains as much as any governor has before ' him, and several big receptions,' together with numerous official and semi-official dinners, make a big hole in his annual stipend. He has also to pay the servants at the executive mansion, the state supplying only a gardener and a watchman. The wages of a steward, a housekeeper, cook, laundress and chambermaid are no small item, and the governor pays liber ally. On arriving at the capitol the governor leaches his sanctum through a private entrance. This is a wooden shed, and an eyesore. It is a temporary affair, built pending the completion of the main entrance to the capitol. Editorial Duties. The shed has a door opening on State street, to which the governor and his secretary. Col. Williams, alone have keys. Laying aside his coat and hat.the governor becomes for an hour a verita ble city editor. Before him are placed open all the New York dailies. With a practice born of long experi ence the governor runs down column after column, passing lightly over unin teresting matter, but reading closely everything bearing upon affairs of the s.tate. politics and himself. No particu lar paper is ever selected to be read first. He takes them as they lie, reading with equal care attacks and encomiums. As fast as he finishes a paper it is thrown on the floor, until the whole pile has been read. By this time another pile of papers makes its appearance— the rural papers of the state. There is not time to go through these in the same way the New York papers have been gone through, and so the governor hit upon a minute saving expedient. Previous to his ar rival these papers have been examined by a clerk, who has marked everything that he thinks will interest the govern or. By this methodical device Gov. Hill, before he starts in on his day's work, has obtained the latest expression of state sentiment and has acquainted himself with public opinion throughout the nation. Next comes his mail. It has been sorted into two piles, personal and offi cial. The governor reads the former, Col. Williams the latter. Crank letters t and silly epistles are thrown by the sec retary into the waste basket. The others, carefully sorted, are laid be fore the governor. To the most press ing lie gives his personal attention. .• "; Our Always Open Governor. It is now 10 o'clock. The outer door of the executive chamber is thrown open and the public are at liberty to \ come in. Visitors, on entering the main chamber, which is of magnificent ! proportions, frequently see a panel door in the rear of the room open and the governor come in and quietly seat him self at his desk. Unless they have busi ness with him he pays no attention to their presence. But so thoroughly democratic are he and his surroundings that any one can have an interview with him by stepping forward and speaking. The usual practice, however, for those who wish to speak with the governor is to reach him by card. The attendants in the ante-room always ask whether one wishes to see the governor or the chamber. If the latter, you are allowed to enter at once; but if the former, you remain outside until the attendant pre sents your name and returns with "The governor will see you." There was never a more get-at-able governor. On busy days the preference is given to senators, state officers and assemblymen. On all week days there is a constant stream of visitors from 10 in the morning until 6 in the evening. Cleveland and Hill inaugurated a new system for New York's governors. It is a system of incessant work. Both being bachelors, with no domestic or family cares to engross their attention, they have devoted their whole tim« to to the state. Various matters are brought to the governor's attention before " 1 o'clock, his time for luncheon. He writes his private letters at home in the evening but during the morning he signs bills examines applications for pardons and transacts a vast amount of business 1 which comes to the governor. Not a moment is wasted. To prevent inter ruption in this work appointments for interviews are made for the afternoon His secretary, Col. Williams, a news paper man, says he never met a man who can get at the point of a case quicker than Bill. In pardon cases the sympathetic side is made most promi nent, but the governor, while not hard hearted, insists upon going to the merits. There are always two sides to a bill. Hill's great forte is to reconcile oppo nents and to send them away satisfied with the compromise which he suggests. Frequently the routine work is so great that the governor cannot get away to luncheon at 1 o'clock, and often he does not leave at all, but has his lunch eon brought in, which is of the simplest kind. Ordinarily, however, I o'clock' finds the governor on the street, with his face turned toward the executive mansion. It is only a short distance away, but in order to reach it one must as going anywhere in Albany, go un and down hill several times. Home of Hie Executive. The location of the mansion docs not suit the governor any more than it docs the citizens of the city who do not re side in its immediate vicinity. But the state owned the property when the building of a mansion was under con sideration, and economy prompted the selection of the present site. The house itself pleases Hill, and he says it is a I good enough home for anybody. The! fitting up and appointments are neat • tasty and comfortable, but there are i many private homes, even in rural coun- : ties, which far surpass it in elegance The mansion and grounds were recently put into their present satisfactory con- j dition at a cost of $119,000. The governor does not pose as a phil- i anthropist. It was only by the merest accident 1 discovered that ho is a most i practical one. 1 learned there is a young' ! man living with him at the executive mansion. From the governor 1 could learn nothing .limit this mysterious i youth. Others told me that he* was ed- ; ucating him through a desire to help a I worthy you 112 nun." The lad is no rela- ' tive of the governor, but knowing him well. md hearing him years" aw ex press a seemingly hopeless desire that he might become a physician, the gov ernor replied: "1 will make you <<:..: r and ho is doing it. Stale Dinners* ! The chief meal with the governor is i his evening dinner. The tcruhu- iiiuirj' is d o'clock, Irtlt it is i>ft»H ', i...;,.iv , ,., I governor -taken his mmv hi in,- table. j Usually he allies alone, but iuqu^utiy he brings home with him one of the state officers, a judge of the court of ap peals, his private secretary, or any dis tinguished man who may be temporar ily stopping in the city. Xo matter who the euest may be he is obliged to take "pot luck." The governor is not an epicure. He likes plain food, but it must be bountiful, well cooked and well served, nis steward, Rudolph Uieri, a Swiss, kuow3 just what the governor likes, but is able to provide a most elaborate dinner, when occasion demands. :■ On two occasions each winter Bieri is assisted by the best caterer in Albany. The house is beautifully decorated with flowers. and music is provided for the guests. These occasions are the two official receptions. They are events in the social life of the capital. One is given to the ladies of the city, the other to the members of the legislature and state officers. The governor is not com pelled to give these receptions, as the state makes no provision for them, but the governor feels that something of this kind ought to be done every year, and does it at his own expense. Wine is furnished at both of these state receptions and at all dinners at which there are guests. But the gov ernor's glass always remains turned down. Hill does not drink. Rare Abstemiousness. Perhaps no great amount of credit is due the governor for his abstemious ness. All spirituous liquors are to him like vinegar in taste and poison in ef fect. This is not . so. I myself saw him once take a drink of whisky. It was down at Long Branch ore day toward the close of the season. The air was a little chilly, but the breakers were glorious, and the governor longed for a plunge in the surf. He did not look very pretty in his bathing suit. but. that made no difference, as the bathers had no idea that the man in the blue bag suit was the governor of the state of New York. Hill is fond of bathing, and he stayed iv too long. . When he come out and had reached the hotel he was taken with a chill. Mark Eustis, his traveling companion, became alarmed at the governor's ap pearance. . His cheeks were white, his lips turned blue, and now and then he shook as with the palsy. The rest of the party was taking a drink after the bath, and Eustis suggested that the governor join ' them. For a | long time the governor refused. He walked up and down the piazza and exercised violently, but could not get warm. Finally he barely wet the bottom of a glass with whisky and said, in a voice of desperation, '•Well, I have got to take a drink." He tried hard to do it. The smell of the whisky seemed to aggravate the chill, and the face he made would have de lighted a Republican comic weekly. It was really painful to see the effort it cost the governor to swallow that tea spoonful of whisky, and the laugh that broke forth added much to the bene ficial effects of the liquor. Simple Indulgences. In the winter he goes to the theater, and iii the summer lie would walk ten miles to see a base ball match. Envious politicians say that what he likes about the theater is the plot of the play, and that the chances and display of skill in a ball match please him greatly. There are billiard and pool tables at the executive mansion, and sometimes when he has guests he uses the cue after dinner. : There is no horseshoe over the door of the executive mansion, but its present occupant is not entirely devoid of super stition. When the mansion was being repaired the workmen found one morn ing a tiny kitten that they could not drive away. They said that this meant good luck and the governor agreed with them. He took poor tabby in and she has been his fireside companion ever since. He named her "Veto,"' and to ; her fed all the obnoxious bills which the legislature passed. It is said that Hill regards -Veto" as part of the executive mansion, and will leave her to his suc cessor. The only other pet owned by the gov ernor is a big English mastiff, the only thing English, the governor says, about the premises. , It was given to' him by [ Surrogate Ransom, of New York. The dog was born in the CatskiHs, so he is an American citizen of English descent. Judge Wallace, of Syracuse, has his brother. As a boy Gov. Hill was brought up in an orthodox manner. He is not a re ligious man, nor is he irreligious. He is an Episcopalian and has a pew at St. Peter's church in which he "regularly appears Sunday mornings. The highest duty of an American cit izen in the eyes of the governor is to exercise the right of suffrage. He has frequently advocated the passage of laws making voting compulsory". He never fails to go to Elmira and cast his vote at every election, and on those, as on every other occasion when he trav els, he always buys his railroad ticket. He never accepts passes. Folding Bis Tent. After his return to tho executive man sion at night the governor feels he has discharged his duty to the state for the day. His orders to his servants are that he will see no one on public busi ness unless it is of the most urgent character. Newspaper men are always welcome, but word is scut to other call ers to present themselves at the execu tive chamber in the morning. If he is alone the governor, after dinner, sits down to answer his private mail. That being done he looks over the magazines, the Congressional Record, and if time allows glances at some work on political economy, of which be has collected a fine library. It is very seldom that there are any guests who stay over night at the man sion. Whenever there are such there i< a magnificent chamber -at their dis posal. The first who occupied it were President and Mrs. Cleveland, on their return from the Adirondack's in June. 1887. Not infrequently the governor is in vited to private home dinners, for he is rapidly becoming a favorite in Albany society, if he chose to accept all the invitations, public and private, which he receives, lie would not have au even ing to himself. Whether he goes out or remains at home he invariably retires at 11 o'clock. He is a good, sound sleeper, and for eight hours, at least, out of the twenty-four, the Democratic party is left to shift for itself. The "reveries," in which the nightly planning is done for the party, occur before the bright fire, with the big cat, '.'Veto," looking wisely on. There sits the governor night after night, musing on the political events of the day, until his head nods and the mystic procession of the counties, with their banners, is seen again in his reverie.

Market and Hill streets, was bringing the vesper service to a close to-night, a tall, neatly dressed woman, with pale face and peculiarly bright eyes suddenly sprang to her feet, and. rushing down the aisle, tripped lightly up the steps to the altar, and, flinging back from her shoulders a shawl, threw her arms around the preach er's neck, exclaimed: "My husband, my long lost husband." For a moment the congregation was struck dumb. Then Father Frederick, divining the situation, gently released himself from the woman's embrace, and parishioners occupying : front seats came to his as sistance. She fought desperately when the men attempted to remove her from, the sanctuary, but was finally carried out and taken iv a patrol wagon to the Detention hospital. The woman proved to be Mrs. Mary White, who was recent ly released from the county insane asy lum. Her husband is a cook In a down town restaurant. The Skeleton Crumbled. Wheeling, W. Ya., March I.— News from Charleston states that a strange story comes from Anisted, in the Elk river mining region. Miners have been at work for over two mouths driving an entrance through a ten-foot vein of coal. Yes terday when over 1,000 feet in the mountain they broke through into a "room" about twenty feet square, It had no visible signs of ever having been in communication with the outside world. On the floor lay the skeletyn 01 a human being, the bones crumbliug into dust on exposure to air or at the slightest touch while on the walls were many rude outline sketches and what seemed to be inscriptions.

Certificates of deposit were issued to Morris for ?500, beside which he drew out 1,000 in cash. The bank officials became suspicious of Morris too late, and before the fraud was exposed he had decamped with his ready cash. Girls' Eyes. Clara Belle in Cincinnati Inquirer. The average New York girl can do more tricks with her eyes than half a dozen Boston girls. Her school of prac tice is the horse car, and, inasmuch as she is usually set face to face with the man she wants to look at, you may see how extremely difficult it is for her to use her eyes and yet pretend not to see him. "My darling." said a careful up-town mother to her eighteen-year-old daugh ter, 'don't. I beg of you, roll your eyes about that way in a horse car.'' "I must do it, mamma," was the re ply; "there's a man on tho other side of the car that has been trying to catch them all the way up town." A Wave of Morality. London", March I.— The people of Paris are intensely agitated over the suppression of betting. The French' government action, it is declared, will eventually end in the death of racing in France and be one of the greatest detriments to horse breeding, which will be severely felt by the cav alry, besides encouraging a worse evil, secret betting. The Germans Cautious. Loxdox, March 2.-The Times' Vienna correspondent says: The German gov ernment in a dispatch to Count yon Minister, German ambassador at Paris, instructs him to refrain from any initiatory action and merely to re ply, if questioned by M. Ribot, that Germany has no reproach to make, but, on the contrary, is quite satisfied with the manner in which the French gov ernment has endeavored to maintain the rights of hospitality. ■ «^ The lowa's Crew.

Now comes the laying out of the wires. Pins are then stuck into the cardboard on each street on which wires are Straus, and around each pin twine is placed. The twine starts from the central electric • station, and following it up any wire can be traced. When there are more than one line of wires on a street the number is represented by strings on the chart. Biggest Diamond Factory. England has the largest diamond fac tory in the world, and the fact that Lon don sends enough diamond work to Amsterdam and Paris to employ thou sands of workmen is because so few English workmen have received the technical art training necessary to de velop their "latent" talent. Though the time was when the workmen in the big London establishments were all Dutch, they are now English. The good cutters get from $12.50 to 1 17.50 a week.
