LETTER FROM MfSz> LEVY.

on
Writes Entertainingly of Her
Stay in London.
Osborne Hotel,
Tavistock Place,
London, W. C.
Editor Reveille :
Dear Sir :—We arrived yester
day in this wonderful city, and I
intended writing last night, but I
find that here, as on the vessel,
there is little time for writing.
To go back a little, after I mailed
ray last letter to you, we were all
on the "qui vive" for land. We
had a most delightful trip across.
The captain said it was a remark
able trip, aud I have yet to see that
most awful thing, a storm at sea.
We anchored at Liverpool at 11:50
Tuesday night, aud it was a sight
worth staying up for. Lights ev
erywhere, ferries plying to and fro
and steamers passing up and down.
It was all so novel and beautiful,
but it felt mighty good to hear that
anchor splash and know we had
reached land. We remained aboard
the ship all night and had break
fast at 6:45 Wednesday morning,

open >>ur baggage for inspection.
We answered a few questions and
were passed on. Just one hour in
which to- see Liverpool, so our
guide took us around in a car. It
is a queer, pretty place and gives
one an idea of England and its
ways. At 10 o'clock we took the
ferry across and then got on the
train for London. The cars are
the funniest little things imagina
ble. It seemed to me just our
crowd filled one. We reached Lon
don at 5 o'clock sharp. The scen
ery along the route "was pictur
esque and beautiful, aud all so very
interesting. The roads along look
like driveways—nothing like our
country roads. There were two
nice omnibuses at the train for us,
and we had a nice drive to this
hotel. It is a very clean, pretty
place and we have nice, comfort
able apartments aud splendid, well
appointed meals. Last night we
took a car. I must stop to de
scribe them,-as they are the fun
niest looking little vehicles—two
story street cars pulled by horses.
The horses in Liverpool were the
largest I ever saw, and they use
the same kind here. Well, we took
the tube and drove by the King's
Palace, Buckingham, Hyde Park,
and other-places, and went to the
Hippodrome. I wish I bad time
to describe this theatre, but must
hurry on to tell you of our really
first day in London
5-00
^ j
;

Right after breakfast there were
two sight-seeing 'busses for us and
we went over a good part of this
wonderful city. Went to the old
Curiosity Shop (where I thought I
must see "little Nell"), to Dick
en's Home, and Sydney Smith's,
and to Trafalgar Square, St. Mary's
Church, and other places of inter
est. Then we had lunch, and this
afternoon went through the British
: vîu- um. This is simply grand,
. or - would like to linger here a
•.c-ek, or, better still, a month,
j t'iieie is so much to see, so many
rooms to go through. The' whole
: oîaee is full of antiquities and col
lections hundreds and hundreds of

For instance, in the
years old.
Roman Gallery there are portrait
heads of Roman emperors and oth
ers, Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Nero,
.Titus, etc., and in the Elgin Room
they had the remains of Greek
sculpture known as Elgin Marbles,
brought from the Pantheon or
Temple of the Virgin Goddess Mi
nerva at Athens, built between
447 and 438 B. C. f when Athens
was the most powerful city in up
Greece. Th« antiquities here are i

arts and objects of domestic use of
the anciem nations of the world.
In the Mediaeval Room there are
pieces of ai t of European countries,
of the Middle Ages and more re
cent times;
work,,clocks, watches, avr:
etc., enamels, curved ivories, his
torical relics, domestic objects, and
so many other things I did not
have time to see. There is an
American Room here with antiqui
ties from North and South Ameri
ca, the West Indies, Mexico and
Peru. ■ There's a Vase Room and
a Bronze Room and a Room of
Terracottas and a Glass and Cera
mic Gallery, and an Anglo-Saxon
Room, and a Room of Gold orna
ments. This room is gorgeous and
I have just a few moments to tell
you of the Greek and Roman, Ori
ental and European jewelry, finger
rings, gold vases and ornaments,
gold cups enamelled, of the Middle
Ages, gold necklaces, and every
thing imaginable in ornaments of
gold, choice engraved stones, and
the great Cameo of Augustus.
One could linger here a week and
never see enough. But we had to
hurry on to other sights, and drove
from the Museum te St. Paul's
Cathedral. Here I held my breath
in wonder. It is. simply raagnifi

I must stop here, for it is time to
go again and I have not half told
you all. I am glad there are still
three more days to be spent here,
and I'll try and send vou o.ne more
letter from here, and tomorrow we
go through Westminster Abbey.
While driving through the streets
we saw the crowds waiting at
Chancery Lane to hear the procla
mation of King George and Queen
Mary read. The King signed a
proclamation fixing the coronation
for the month of June, next year,
and the streets were gay with the
procession, called a civic proces
sion, which was beaded by the city
mayor, followed by many of the
high dignitaries of London and
cavalcade and a vast throng of peo
ple, all announced by forfares from
two trumpets. I don't suppose I
shall ever see such a spectacle
again.
Did not finish last night, and
we are ready for our visit to West
minster Abbey.
Love to all the good people at
home.

Tried an Experiment.
Mr N. Avery, Delhi, N Y, had two
houses exactly alike and painted them:
one Devoe lead-and-zinc; the other bary
tes-and-zinc. He paid same price for both
paints.
He used six gallons of lead-and-zinc; 12
gallons barytes-and-zinc.
He paid $18 for painting lead-and-zinc,
$36 for painting barytes-and-zinc.
The total cost of the lead-and-zinc job
was $27; the total cost of the barytes-and
zinc job was $54.
He didn't know he was buying barytes;
the dealer told him that paint was as good
as Devoe, /
A fair example of how it generally comes
out, when you buy "something just as
good." Better go by the name; the name;
and the name is Devoe.

to get out the advertising matter
failed to state on their posters that
an admission fee would be charged,
but as soon as their attention was
called to this, they endeavored to
notify the public by posting notices

their friends, as it was not their

Suit for Damages.
The Jackson correspondent of
the New Orleans Picayune had the
following to say of a damage suit
which is the out-come of the trag
ic death of Mr. Gus D. Chunti, a
native of Hermanville. The com
plainants are good citizens of this
county:
"Suit for $20,000 actual and
compensatory damages and $10,000
as punitive damages has just been
entered by counsel for A.R. Chunn
and family in the circuit court of
Hinds county, first district, for
trial at the September term. This
action is the outgrowth of an acci
dent whereby Gus D. Chunn, son
of A. R., met his death on May 7,
1910, which the family attribute to
the negligence and carelessness of
employes of the Alabama and
Vicksburg Railway, which is the
defendant in the suit. It is nar
rated that Gus Chunn was driving
an ice wagon along one of the
Streets traversed by the tracks of
the defendant company, where
hitching is frequently done. An
engine and crew were at work in
the vicinity, the engine having
"kicked" a cut of freight cars for
the purpose of making a flying
Switch, and in doing so, it is
averred, a considerable noise was
made, which frightened the team
of mules which Gus -Chunn was
driving a runaway being the re
sult, young Chunn being thrown
out and run over by his own vehi
cle, dying the same day as a result
of the injuries sustained. It is
claimed that not only was the noise
and clatter unnecessary, but the
train was running at a rate of speed
