There is a marked difference be
tween the main body of tlie Americans
who annimlly Invade London nowadays
tod thou: who used to be seen years
go. Time was 'when the traveling
Americans did not care for society, pre
ferring to do the sight M speedily as
possible end hurry off to other show
places. Now visitors from the land of
the free consider themselves quite es
much in the social swim as any lord or
lady in the peerage, are "up" in all the
hwys and customs of society, end are
regarded by London swelldom as rep
iresentatlvc Americans. In general
these are the Mirht-soers of the past
grown anglicized and their sons and
'daughters. I regard Mr. Astor as a
ttmlr sample of the new American in
(England, says a correspondent of the
jArgonout. Ilia money, of course., en
lables him to do anything he likes. lie
might stand on his head on the top of
jthe duke of York's column or play leap
frog down Tall Mall with Mr. Vondor
Itttlt. It Is doubtful, by the bye, if
thither of these performers would moke
'him a cause of more pitying smile and
eanrpoAsiouate shoulder-shrugs than
'his forced intrusion Into London Joiir
itaUsm or hu ostentatious purchase of

, There is a class of oobVcmcn among
(the EnglifJi aristocracy who are obove

together mon whom gold docs not

Itjrpe of nobility in every sense, and I
onslder the duke of Northumberland
as ft striking Instance of the sort of
'man I mean. The 'duke of Rutland ib

ican, were he a gentleman, might en

all the wealth of the Actors and Van

men, were there no other reoommend.-tion-
And I am morally certain of one
thing: buying r.nd hiring granhouses
In England by foreigners for no rhyme
or reason but the exhibition of a bit of
Vulgar swapger, would not bo in any
sense a credential of respectability to
them. Much the reverse, I should
imagine. As for the duke of West
minster, he is a shrewd man of busi
ness, and, like all ths Grosvenors, has
as keen an eye to the main chance as a
horse-dealer or a patent medicine
drummer. Yet I cannot somehow
think that any t cry lasting friendship
has sprung up "-tween his grace cr. l
the American j-urchaser of Clievedcn.
Indeed, the rcjorted controversy cou
ernlng the rirht of property in tho
visitors' book M-ould seem to negative
the presumption of the existence of
ery amicabl; relations. I often won
der how men like Mr. A tor can wish
to fill a fourth or fifth-rate position in
Xngland instead of the first place in
America. Ee cannot at one moment
rely on the fact that he is an Amer
ican, and therefore the equal of any
man, and at the next set up as an Eng
lish country squire, or a London ed
itor, and therefore several pegs below
the dukes and other nobility. He must
make his choice.
1 RAINFALL AND POPULATION.
The Growth of t1e Latter Depend 00 the
Former.
The results of the last census have
shown that the attribution of the pop- j
illation in the United States U regula
ted by the abundance or scarcity ot
rain. The largest part of the popula
tion Is distributed in those regions
where the annual rcinf all varies from
thirty to forty inches. Those comprise j
three-fourths of tt e people.
The denbitv of populetlon flimlnshes !
rapidly where the amount of rainfall
differs considerably in cither direction
from these figures, which may bo taken
as of mean value.
Greatest density to found where
forty to City irhen of rein fall yearly,
the number of inhabitants In such dis
tricts being fifry-nine per square mile.
"Where the rainftU is thirty to forty
Inches per annum the moan density cf
population is 43.1 per square mile.
The dry regions of the east, where
less than tr.c.ty inches fall in a year,
which include t.vo-flfths of tho terri
tory, conUua oe.tually less than three
hundredths cf the pcjplc of the stttes.
The population has multiplied most
.rapidly, with i rainfall of twenty to
thirty inches, in tho great plains c.t
.tending from Tess to Lukota, where
the density h3 increased 18 to 19.1 per
mile.

COULD NOT TOLERATE A LIE.
A Own French Writer, folltlrta an4
Republican rhllmnthmfUt.
Victor Schoelcher, the eminent
writer, politician and republican phil
anthropist who died lat-ly in France,
after an honorable life of nearly ninety
years, was always noted for the rigid
sincerity of his principles and his acts,
says the Youth's Companion. A story
is told in the Parisian Press of his boy
hood which illustrates this character
istic, in hlra. As a child he was once
returning to France from a trip to
lirnsscls with his mother.
She had obtained in Belgium certain
valuable laces which she could easily
carry out of sight, and she remarked
to the boy that she was not going to
declare them to the French custom
house authorities.
"Bnt. mother," sal 1 Victor, "not to
declare them would be wrong!"
"Never you mind," she said, "It
would bo foolish to declare, them. The
duty on them is enormous and the In
spectors will never know anything
abonttbem. I shall say nothing about
them."
When the custom house man came
Mme. Sehoelcher declared that she
had nothing dutiable. The inspector
thought he saw a shocked look in the
boy's face.
"What is it?" said he to Victor.
"Oh, sir," said the boy, "I think
mother has some Pelglan laces that
she ought to pay duty onT'
The laces were produced and the
duty paid. Mme. Scholcher, instead
of being angry, declared that she was
proud of having so honest and truth
ful a boy.
Not only did he never learn to lie,
but he had a quick eye for dishon
esty of character in others. As a dep
uty he voted to permit the return of
Louis Napoleon to France, believing
that the time had come for universal
forgiveness. Louis Napoleon read a
speech thanking the deputies and full
of apparently frank protestations of
fidelity to the republic Schoeleher
shook his head when he heard this
speech.
"I watched htm through my glas,"
he S3id. "and his paper never trembled
in his ban 1. lie is too cool to be an
honest man. We shall have occasion
to regret his coming into the country."
The estimate proved quite true, for
la a few years Louis Napoleon had,
by a tno.it rcmarkublc series of false
hoods tad betrayals, overthrown the
republic and possessed himself of des
potic power.
HE WAS A PHILADELPHIAN.
Notwithstanding Which Fact lie Mde a
Cowl Bars-xln In New Vorlfc
"Talk obott Philadelphians being
slow," said an np-town dealer in rare
books to a New York Evening Sun
rr.in; "why, I'll tell yon about a little
incident that happened the other day.
"A Philadelphia who has a nice
private collection of rare engravings
urul etchings came to this city on a
visit and was almost stranded financial
ly before he knew it An ordinary
man would have w-ritten or telegraphed
homo for cath. Dnt this one didn't
He ws strolling down Broadwav, un
decided whether to continue his walk
as far as Philadelphia or not, when he
came to a little shop where engravings
and etchings are sold.
"His mania for collecting forced him
to enter tho shop and examine the
stock, although he didn't have money
enough to buy a fair-sized chromo.
Turning over a number of etchings
and engravings lying upon a sort of
bargain table at the rear of the shop
he came across a fine copy of the cele
brated Hanjon portrait of Tennyson,
of which he had a highly prized speci
men in his own collection. Thinking
it strange that the etching shouli be
lying among the other cheap objects
on the table he asked its price of a
clerk.
' 'Take it along for a quarter, said
the clerk.
" 'All right, said the Philadelphian,
rolling up the etching and paying over
the money.
" 'Shall I wrap it up for you? asked
the clerk.
" 'Oh, no; you needn't mind,' and the
Philadelphian walked off with his
prize. lie did not walk far, though.
Stopping at a well-known engraving
dealer's shop not four blocks away the
Philadelphia man offered the etching
for sale.
" 'Twenty-five dollars,' was the of
fer of tho dealer. The Philadelphia
man accepted the money, although It
was but a little more than half the
price at which tho Iiajon portrait la
catalogued, and went his way. lie had
paid all the expenses of his New York
trip at ono stroke."

you are provided with dependable Clothing for which you have the guarantee
of this house that quality is right. The imperative pressure to sell governs
all our prices. It's impossible mostly to buy as low. It's impossible to buy
lower, unless you waste your money for what isn't trustworthy. Bring
