their numerous gables and chimneys and
the royal lion crouched above the gate. The
uhimtiovs , however , seem to bo the char
acteristic feature of the architecture of the

fact that the number of chimneys and the

miles , but nil of the most important part of
the city Is Included In the district on the
east bank of the river , says the Now York
Sun.
Sun.Tho
The place where the French gunboats
that n conded the
river
nnohorod
was , ac
cording to a cable dispatch , oppo-
slto the custom houso. This Is n
favorite anchorage , nnd the French
boats steamed nonrly half wny through
the big city before they reached It. They
nro about three miles from the palace nnd n
little over two miles from the city wall ,
which Includes n great deal of ino most
vnlunblo part of linngkok.
The city wall is mint tn u most sub-
stantlnl manner of brick. There is no
such thing ns building stone within many
miles of Bangkok. The wall Is about
thirty feet vvido nt the base nnd thirty
foot high , nnd it encloses nn area about
six mile * in clrcumfoienco. The greater
puitof Uangkok now lies outside the city
wall , including most of the legations nnd
consulates. Hut the palnco of the king nnd
the numerous buildings connected with It ,
nil of which are fenced In by another wnll ,
nnd somoof the public buildings , nru within
the city wall.
Across thu river from the upper corner of
the city wall is the navy yard , not very Im
posing In Its buildings or equipment.
Along both sides of the liver for miles
floating stoics nnd dwellings numbering
thousands are mooted against the river
bunks. The stoics are all in the hands of
Chinese merchants , n ml are ttio dully resorts
of myriads of the natives , who Hock to the
river to buy all sorts of supplies.
Ihousnmls of families llvo In the floating
houses ns in most cf tbo Oriental cities
where the rlvoiino rnpulnco Is usually largo.
Starting from the pilaco wall is the road ,
Iho principal thoroughfare on terra tlrma hi
Uangkok. This city has oonn called "Tno
Venice of the Kast" on account of the Inrgo
number of canals that penetrate It. There
aie few roads Intersecting this main thor
oughfnru , but thoio nio plenty of canals run
ning under it , teaching the river in ono
direction and extending often far Into the
country In the other.
The palnco enclosure embraces about 100
acres. Within tno city wall llvo about : > 0,000
women , in a district set up..rt for them ,
where they nio licensed to carry on their
disteputaolo calling.
Most of the legations , tbo custom house ,
the lower telegraph and postoftlces. the Hap-
tlst missions , the Goiman club and the Ori
ental hotel stictch along the river front.
The foliage of thn trees on the liver ounk
Is so thick that very little can be seen of the
buildings from the river. The Presbyterian
missions are among the largest missions in
Slam. 'Ihoy are at S.uniay , on the right
bank , about two miles below the Oriental
hotel , and n branch of Presbyterian missions
is on the right bank , ncaily opposite the
palnco. Most of the foreign icsidents , when
they wish lo travel fiom ono ini t of the city
to the other , go bv boat on the river through
the caral that will take them neaiest to
their destination. Bangkok lies only a few
feet nbovo the river level , and it is , there-
foio , very easy to dig canals that \\lll lead
the river to every part of ttio city.
The vv hole city , which contains about SOO-
000 people , Is so omboworcd In trees that it
is not easy at any point to got the Impres
sion that ono is In a lariro city. The "road"
is a line shell road , about ten miles long.
Under the trees Hews a small stream and a
biidgo leads to the American legation. The
other bridge , further up the road , loads to
the British legation. In the center is one of
the numerous busses which , until quite re
cently , played along this thoroughfare. The
busses have now boon supplanted by a street
car line , which is patroni/ed only by the na-
lives , who pay a faro of between li and 3
cents. These conveyances are usually
crowded with the native populace and no
foreigner thinks of patronizing them. Ho
either hires n-cniriago , which ho can engage
for three hours for about * 1.'JO , or takes a
boat on the river or ono of the canals.

1'VLVIT TALUS ASU TALKS ,
Dlshop E. H. Aondrlx , the Missouri mem
ber of the Southern Methodist Col lego of
Dishops , llrmly believes that n good story is
often tlio best moans of illustrating a point
in a speech and of convoying a denier mean
ing than any pluaso or sentence.
He carried out this conviction in an address -
dross ho delivoicd at the recant recaption
given to the College of Bishops at St John's
church in St. Louis. Ho was encouraging
tlio cbuibhes of St. Louis in their effort to
raise a SJOO.OOO chinch extension fund , aud
asserlod that a linn resolve and resolute
work with an optimistic view to tbo futuie
would accomplish the purpose , und to Illus
trate this said that a milkman was once approaching
preaching a city vvltb milk lo sell. Crossing
a bioolc bo begun meditating , and came to
the conclusion that bis milk was too rich for
city people , and dipped up a bucket of water
niul poured It into the can of milk.
Two frogs were hi the bucket of water.
Onu wus an optimist , tbo other a pessimist.
They resolved to make an effort to stay on
top and keep from drowning. The pessimist
scon gave it up , saying it was no use trying
to keep up , it could not bo done nnd sank to
the bottom and Jied. The optimistic frog
said , "Well , 1 will just keep kicking , " and
so vvilh a llrm tesolra nnd resolulo kick ho
kent on top , and \v ben the grocer to whom
the milkman Hold his stock uont to lemovo
It from the can be found not only a can of
milk , but in it a large pat of butter , and ,

EALtiY.U begins to

tics. The very best
mon.not only In Cal
ifornia and Now Or *
loans , the original
latter Jay strong
holds of the short-
holreil , but la Now York , are out ,
or getting out , of the pa mo for
keens , and these superintending Uoby's
tlstlc institution will soon follow suit.
They are a bad and unreliable lot , thcsu
lighting \egotable , nt the best , with about
as much Id on of honor and principle ns a hog
has of the art of docalcoiiianla , Tholr word
Is as good ns their bond , wnloh is equivalent
to the declaration that neither is worth a
vvhoop In hades.
In Justlco to the small fry , however , and
the famcloss pugs , the blanio"must bo be
stowed where it belongs , and that is to the
army of champions that are running at
largo. The extravagant purse business has
mommorphosed the fighter , and Instead of
being u tiling now to outer into a contest
with the prosnoctof fair reward as n salvo
for bruises and contuses , he demands the
most egregious pay , the loser oven receiving
moro than champions of the bare knuckles
period use to battle for. It was a fnrco in
the llrst place to hung up & 23,000 for Sullivan
nnd the Midway 1'Iaisunco to stiive for ,
notwithstanding it pioveil a success ; actu
ally culpable to oven promise Hall and Fltz-
stuiuions $40,000 , and almost putting a pre
mium on crime to hang up 345,000 for Charlie
Mitchell and hoof the upilght hair to paste
each other for.
In the face of nil these f.icts it Is refresh
ing to note the retrograde motion among the
popular and capable backets of this sport ,
anil it will boa Joyful day when the ranks of
the prize lighter are dispersed and ho is
compelled to chase himself into some brick
yard or rolling mill as u means of subsist
ence.
Hvor since the IIrat proposition of a meet
ing between the Englishman and Jimmy
Corbett , as Pete Douohuo persists in calling
him , the leaders of THE HUB know that I
have scouted the idea , and It Is llattoriug tome
mo to know that today I have about every
ninety nine out of every hundred legitimate
spurting men with mo. There is about as
much likelihood of Mitchell and Coibott
meeting in a llglit next December ns theio is
In Corbott's proving that he is a , gentleman.
The latter man has signed with both the
Coney Island and the Columbian clubs , and
with each alternating day ho repudiates one
or tne other. Mitchell has signed \ \ 1th the
Hoby contingent , but is still negotiating witli
Now Orleans. So there you aro. Does it
look very much like business , or like the
machinations of a faw astute advertising
agents ? The probabilities are that the
sport-loving people of the United States caio
a vast deal less aboat where Mitchell and
Corbott agree to light , than they ilo about
the real question in the mutter , will they
light ? I have long upheld the American's
love for fair play , of the honor of our ath
letes and the integrity of the sporting class ,
but it is rather humiliating to see
this pretty sentiment blotted out by
one fell blot , and by a lot of irre
sponsible and undeserving prize lighters nt
that. Agreements ith reputable business
men cut no iiguro with these people. They
will repudiate any sort of a compact at the
sight of an additional dollar , and It is the
duty of the very few clubs of standing that
exist in the \ \ hole country today , anil you
can count thorn on ttio lingers of ono hand
with the thumb shut off , to teach these
high priced professors of the hit and getaway
away game that they are not dependent on
them for cither emolument or pleasure.
And hero it la over ug.iln. The match be
tween Solly Smith and Champion Georpo
Dixon is ofT. Doimnielc O'Malli > y was oven
munlllccnt in olTorin ? these boys a purse of
$8.000 to light for , nnd shrewd Tom O'Kourko
was likewise generous in consenting to the
proposition that the loser should take
This vv us an unnecessary courtesy to Xick
Abrahams and Solly. It would uiako precious
little difference to O'Kourko and Dixon
whether they split up the small end of the
puiso or not , and if such was to bo their fate ,
1 believe they would rather get nothing , Just
so they might enjoy the bitter of ( iofe.it
for once in their lives in all its tidiness.
They've both got plenty of the stuff
nheady , and what would a pallry $1230 bo to
thor.i in such 1111 emergency. But O'itourko
consented to $ .100 for the beaten man and
trotted off to Now York with the little
llnlionian , feeling that they bud already
adden as good as $ , .r > 00 to their joint bank
account. Last Monday , however , O'itourko
receives O'Mnlloy's articles of agiooment
stipulating that the loier is to receive 1,000 ,
instead of jfTjOO , enough for most men to light
for. To say that O'Malloy's ofllclousness
in the matter nearly knocked O'KomkoofT
his props , is but sticking close to the truth.
"To , with O'Malloy , Solly Smith , Chicago
the World's fair , the Columbian club and the
whole broid west , " ejaculated Tom , as soon
ns his broatb returned from a little trip
around the corner , on which it had been
propelled by thulJoby president's gall , "we'll
not light 'em at all. "
And ho monnt what ho said , for he suc
cinctly wliod O'Mnltoy that the light was
nixoy , and his articles of agreement would
bo returned by freight.
And O'llourko ' was right. George Dixon
Is the bona lido clinmnlon of the world in his
class , and the only champion of the world ,
by ttio way , in any class , and lias n good ,
solid right to name the stipulations in any
engagement he sees proper to enter. Ho
nnd O'Kourko merely consented to $500 to
the loser out of professional courtesy , and
nothing more. They had no fears ubout
hogging the whole shooting match if they
wanted to play the pork.
Anent the Smith futnilv. The query
has been put to mo frequently of luta
whether Solly is n Jew or not , but until the
last day or two I have been unable to an-
svvur the question. I wrote to a friend In
in Frisco recently nnd ho replies that
Smith's proper patronymic ) is Solomon
I'ulnski , nndrthut settles it. Whether bo is
nny rotation to Count 1'ulaski , Omaha's for
mer Illustrious dog catcher or not , I am still
incapable of stating. Hut I'll ' bunt up the
count and let you know later.
The Columbian club , notwithstanding Its
alleged problematical status , Is quietly
making pr pniutluns for n coloisul llstlis
carnival to tuIta place lusnowv December.
It la hinted that it will relegate into inslg-
niflcont any of the Cri'ncunt City's past
achievements , all of which , however , Is a
very decided mistake. If brought to a suc
cessful issue , thoughmy Informant sujs , the
the purses will amount to something like
fhU.UOO , and that- three championships will
depend upon the verdict of Uoby's official
roferuo. Ttio card will call for six events ,
two a night , und a brace of these will boot
an International character. The main i
events are to be MUohell-Corbott

From the way Houseman Is signing the

THE CREATES !
That this or any ngc can boast
of , in point of magnitude and
economy is now going1 on at
The Morse Dry Goods JCo'a
store , We bought the A. D.
Morse stock ot ladies , ' men's
and children's shoos for 500 on
the dollar ,
Thousands of people forgot
all about the vexatious silver
question in their mad desire
to secure shoes cheaper than
ever before. It's an honest
sale we are giving the public.
Goods bought at 50 cents on
the dollar are being sold on
that basis , leaving just enough
margin to pay for expense of
handling.
The sale lasts only one
week. We are selling these
shoes simply to give the pub
lic a feast of bargains and
keep our store lively during
alterations.
