Tweed Kcsponslble for the TlRcr
The origin of the tiger as an em
blem of Tammany is said by W C
Montayne a coffee and spice dealer
in New York to date from the time
when William M Tweed then fore
man of Bis Six fire company took
a fancy to a picture of a royal Bengal
tiger in his fathers store in the 50s
Tweed adopted the emblem for the
Americus club and it soon was accept
ed 1 y all Tammany Tweed had the
tfgns head -woven in the center of the
pallor cuiaet of the Americus club in
its sporty club house at Greenwich
Conn and it was painted on the old
hand engine of Big Six
Pardonable Evasions
Some evasions of the inheritance
tax law can hardly be regarded as
wholly unpardonable General Di
Cesnola of the New York Metropoli
tan Museum of Art says that Mr
Charles R Curtis informed him some
time ago that he had made provision
in his will for a bequest of 10000
to the museum Lately Mr Curtis
called again and said General I
dont think I will leave you that S10
000 i will give it to you in cash The
inheritance tax will take up 1500 or
2000 of it and you will not get the
benefit of the whole amount if I leave
it to you in my will And he handed
over the cash

RATES ARE REASONABLE
A False Impression Corrected Pan
American Exposition Railroad Fares
and Hotel Rates Loir as Could be
Expected
Buffalo N Y July 30 A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the impression that ap
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan American Ex-
position are high and that hotel rates
in Buffalo are excessive The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in its private houses and ho
tels at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for a first class lodging in a private
house It was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five ten or
fifteen day ticket accprding to dis
tance being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip
from all parts of the country The
Niagara Falls cheap one day special
excursions of former years when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort are re-
membered only so far as the low rate
is concerned and this is quoted as
showing what might be done The
passenger agents assert that the pres
ent half rates are as low as can Yea
soriably be expected An extension of
the present limit has been looked for
as it gives too short a time for anyone
to see the big exposition but it has
not yet been modified Other points
which the representatives of the pub
lishers association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is com
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are well
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a free
bureau of information for the conve
nience of intending visitors

Henry Gunning and granddaughter of
the second Lord Churchill is serving
a term of several years penal servi
tude for having forged the name of her
father to notes on which she raised
money from London discounters and
tradesmen These forgeries extended
over a number of years and were con
sidered especially unpardonable from
the fact that her ladyship was driven
to commit them not from her reduced
circumstances but from indebtedness
caused by betting on the aces Mrs
Osborne wife of Captain Osjorne of a
crack cavalry regiment being in desti
tute circumstances purloined a costly
pearl necklace which she later sold in
England and was sentenced to im
prisonment with hard labor Nor was
any greater judicial leniency shown

Earl of Montalt who was sentenced to

her defeat in a suit she was conduct

of great credit to their royal connec
tions For his many misdeeds the
count is confined in an English pen

been undergone by the Marchioness of

sent to jail generally for brief periods
following her arrest in London for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct

royal house the Countess Waldeck
is now undergoing punishment for for

Orders for the re establishment of
the European station have been issued
by the secretary oi -e navy and Rear
Admiral Cromwell has been ordered to
proceed at once to Europe and assume
command of the station For the pres
ent his squadron will consist of the
cruiser Chicago flagship and the
cruiser Albany and the gunboat Nash
ville The Chicago is now the flag
ship of the South Atlantic station but
has received orders to proceed from
Rio de Janeiro Brazil to Gibraltar
and the Albany and Nashville have al
ready left Cavite for Suez where they
are to receive orders from Rear Admi
ral Cromwell It is stated at the navy
department that one of the newer bat
tleships will be ordered to the Euro
pean station some time in the fall It
is more than probable that either the
Kearsarge or the Alabama will be se
lected for this duty The European
station was abandoned in 1898 just

Natural Tunnel Is a Wonder
In locating the Virginia and South
western railroad through the Alle
ghanies from Virginia into Tennessee
advantage was taken of a natural tun
nel which is one of the wonders of
the world The distance through this
tunnel is about 1000 feet and so near
ly perfect is the tunnel that only sixty
feet of blasting was necessary The
region is of limestone formation as
always where there are extensive
caves The cliffs at each end of the
tunnel are 400 feet high and the
scenery in the locality is remarkably

Underneath the town of Norwich
England are numbers of brine springs
which were used for the preparation
of salt even before the Christian era
Owing to the immense excavations oc
casioned by the pumping up of this
brine the main street of the town is
now to be raised four feet As recent
ly as 1892 it was raised five feet and
again the thoroughfare is on a level
with the River Weaver which runs
close by The property to be lifted
consists of hotels and large shops un
der which hydraulic jacks are placed
and as the structures are raised wood
en wedges are inserted So accurate is
the work done that business is car
ried on as usual during alterations
and but little inconvenience is expe
rienced by the families
Nearly every little local custom in
England can be traced by the antiqua
rian back almost to prehistoric times
and in the interesting tradition that
the sunrise must be witnessed on mid
summer day from the vast piles of
Stonehenge is one of these ancient
customs It may have been a habit
with the ancient Britons to do hom
age to the source of light on this the
suns greatest day or the custom may
date back to those red haired tribes
who came before even the Britons in
the history of the island This world

and threatening to lift the house off
its foundations They were secured
by William F Woodward who sent
one of them to Prof Sweetser of For
est Grove and has placed the other on
exhibition It is rather a formidable
looking fungus the stem being two
inches in diameter and about ten
inches long while the cap is the
size of an ordinary soup plate and
about three Inches in thickness at the
center Such vegetables must not
be grown under restraint of wood
piles or anything else short of an
Egyptian pyramid but must be given
space according to their strength
which is something tremendous

Fertility of Sicily
The natural fertility of Sicily is in
deed remarkable Without the use of
fertilizers three different growths
olives vines and wheat flourish in
close proximity Great sections al

the western shore the far famed
Conca lOro near Palermo and the

the favored valleys of Tuscany Al

Tremendous Irde Trafltc
Twenty years ago it was estimated
that 200000 persons crossed London
bridge daily 130000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles With the growth of
population these numbers have almost
doubled in spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the tower bridge
half a mile downstream It has there
fore become an urgent matter to increase-
the capacity of the older bridge
and it has now been decided to ac
complish this by means of granite
corbels which will carry the footway
as projections over the water on each
side of the bridge
Salt Ratlis at Home
Persons desiring to take salt water
baths at home should first learn the
quantity of salt to use in the tubs
Victor Smith suggests An ordinary
bath contains from ninety to 1Q0 gal
lons of water into which a thoughtless
person will dissolve a pint or two of
sea salt so called and imagine him
self disporting in the ocean If he
followed nature he would use twenty
five or thirty pounds of salt to the 100
gallons and this if purified would
cost him 70 cents He would have
about four baths to each 700 pounds of
salt
