A KEW SOLUIIOS OP THE DIFFICULT! WASHIKGTOjr, August 14. . "Whence did the ships of Canada deriYOthe ritht to do in 1SS6 thatwhich they had refrained trom dome for more than 90 jearsT Upon what grounds did Her Majesty's Government deteneV In the earlSSO a course or conduct in the Behring Sea which she had carelully avoided ever since the discovery or that f eaT By what reasonine did Her Majesty's Govern ment conclude that an act may be committed with impunity against the rlchts of the United States which bad never been attempted against the same ncbts when held by the Russian Emplref ' Secretary JUlaine to British Min uter. Such is the last word in the Behring Sea correspondence so far as Congress or the Dublic has been taken into the confidence oi the State Department It was a matter of remark, and evidently of surprise, that the correspondence when made pnblio recently did not show Mr. Blaine contending for American sovereignty over the whole of Behring Sea, or at least over the American half oi it. The impression has obtained ground even in well-informed quarters that Congress by its enactments has asserted snch a sovereignty. Nothing of the kind. 2To impression could be more erroneous. The authors of the legislation may have intended to give the impression that they were assert ing snch a claim, but they carefully avoided the use of any language that either ex pressed or implied it. In the whole series ol acts relating to Alaska and to the seal fisheries there is not a word of the kind. Neither is there in any of the orders of the Treasury Department, the correspondence bf the State Department, or the proclamations ot the President Only in the columns of the newspapers and in the gossip of the day has the claim ot American sovereignty over Behring Sea been asserted. BEHEIXG SEA 2TOT IK IT. The convention between Bussia and the United States, concluded March 30, 18G7, and proclaimed at Washington June 20, 1867, "for the cession of the Bussian poses sions in North America to the United States," says not a word about the Behring Sea or any other water. The main clause of the main article of the treaty reads as fol lows: His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Kussias, agrees to cede to the United States by this con vention, immediately upon the exchange of the ratifications thereof, all the territory and do minion now possessed by his said Majesty on the Continent of America, and on the adjacent islands, the same being contained within the geographical limits herein set forth. If the sovereignty of all the waters in the eastern half of Behring Sea was conferred upon the United States by that treaty the cession must have been expressed in the language here quoted. No other clause in the treaty cedes anything. "Territory and dominion" is the phrase used all through the treaty to describe the thing ceded, and if the waters of Behring Sea now belong to us they must be construed as either "territory" or "dominion." They are not territory, and whether or not Bussia previously Jiad do minion or sovereignty over them cannot be decided by any interpretation of the terms of the treatv. " Section 3 of the act of March 2, 1889, "An act to provide for the protection of the salmonfisheries of Alaska," reads: That section 1956, K. S is hereby declared to include and apply to all the dominion of the United States in the Behring Sea: and it shall he the duty of the President at a timely season in each year to issue bis proclamation and cause the same to be published for at least one month in at least one newspaper, if any such there be published at each United States port of entry on the Pacific Coast, warning all per sons against entering said waters for the pur pose ot violating the provisions of said section: and he shall also cause one or more vessels of the United States to diligently cruise said waters and arrest all persons and seize all ves sels found to be or to have been engaged in any violations of the laws of the United States therein. KILLING LIMITS DEFINED. Section 1956 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, approved July 27, 1S6S, reads: No person shall kill any otter, mink, marten, sable, or fur-seal or other fur-bearing animal within the limits of Alaska Territory or in the waters thereof, etc Section 1959, approved March 3, 1869, reads: The Islands of St Paul and St George in Alaska are declared a special reservation for Government purposes, and until otherwise pro vided by law it shall be unlawful for any person to land or remain on either of tbese islands, ex cept by the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, ana any person found on either of these islands contrary to the provisions hereof shall be summarily removed. Section 1960, approved Ju ly 1, 1870. says: It shall be unlawful to kill any fur seal upon the islands of St, Paul ana St, George, or in the waters adjacent thereto, except during the months of June, July, beptember and October in eaca jear. The language of this statute seems to be fatal to any pretense of having contemplated exclusive jurisdiction over the whole of Behring Sea. So it is with section 1961, which was approved July 1, 1870, and which reads: It shall be unlawful to kill any female seal or any seal leu than 1 year old. at any season of the year, except as above provided, and it shall also be unlawful to kill any seal in the waters adjacent to the islands of bt Paul and St. George or on the beaches, cliffs, or rocks, where they haul up from the sea to remain Section 1967, approved July 1, 1870, says: ETeryperson who kills any fur seal on either of those islands or in the waters adjacent thereto without authority of the lessees there of, and every person who molests, disturbs or interferes with the lessees, or either of them, or their agents or employes, in the lawful prose cution of their business, under the provisions ot this chaster, shall for each offense be pun Usable as prescribed in section 1DS1; and all Teasels, etc., etc. The act of March 24, 1874, says: That the act entitled, "An act to prevent the extermination of fur-bearing animals in Alaska," approved July X, 1S70, is hereby amended so as to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury, ana he is hereby authorized, to designate tho months in which fur seals may be taken for skins on the islands of St. Paul and St. George in Alaska, and in the waters adjacent thereto, and the number to be taken on or about each island respectively. NO SOVEREIGNTY ASSEBTED. The title of the act of July 27, 1868, was "An act to extend the laws of the United States relating to customs, commerce and ii&vigalion over the territory ceded to the United States by Bussia; to establish a col lection district therein, and for other pur poses." This comprehends all the legisla tion of Congress on the subject Then, turning to the executive papers, it Is impossible to find any oi them couched in the phraseology that would imply the asser tion of such sovereignty over the sea in question; but it is easy to find much that implies a more limited jurisdiction. For instance: On September 10, 1870, "William A. Bichardson, acting Secretary of the Treasury, in promulgatir g an executive or der for the imoraation oi officers of the cus toms, said: Revenue officers win, however, see that the privilege granted to the said company is not abases.; that no firearms ot' any kind are ever used by said company (the Alaska Commercial Company) in the killing o t seals or other fur; bearing animals on or near said islands, or nea? the haunts of seals or sea otters in the district, (tho revenue oiatiictof Alaska), nor for any purpose whatever, Joring the inunths of June, ulf,Aug(ut,beprombcr and October of each year, etc. The "closed sea" contention really never fits been opnly advanced by any branch of this Government Fossibly the time has come for the aboli tion or amendment of the three-mile inter national law, but the chances are that it cannot be done without a resort to "the last argument of kings." The international" law is still in force, "tind the three-mile strip ot water along the ATsskan shore is not broad enough to comprehend the whole of Behring Sea. Unless Great Britain will make a fair and reasonable ngreement to make the Canadian let our seals alone, wherever they may happen to be, the only strategio course open to the Government of the United States seems to be to wait for tbe next return of the seals to the Pribylov Islands, then build a palisade or fence of some kind around tbe islands which would keep the seals always within our undis puted jurisdiction. THE SEA AND THE FUB SEAL. After all, what is this Behring Sea, and what is this fur seal that England and the United States are quarreling so vehemently about? Behring Sea is about the size of Alaska, and as lor Alaska, the whole of New En gland could be stored away in one corner of the Territory. The late Governor Swine ford in one of his annual reports said Sitka was further away from some parts of Alaska than it was from Portland, Me. The Seal Islands of Behring Sea are four in number. Two, the Pribylov Islands St. George and St Paul belong to the United States, and two, the Commander Islands Behring and Copper belong to Bussia. The Bussian islands are on the Siberian side, the Ameri can islands are on the Alaska side of Behring Sea. The islands that lie scattered all over that sea are hnndreds of miles apart. Even the islands in the Aleutian chain, which on the map looks like a row of step ping stones between Alaska and Siberia, are hundreds of miles apart St Paul and St George are 192 miles distant from the nearest island and farther irom the nearest point on the Alaskan Coast Oonalaskais the nearest settlement to the Seal Islands. It is on One of the Aleutian Islands, about equally dis tant from St George and the mainland. All vessels going northward to the Seal Islands or to any other point on the American side of Behring Sea pass Oonalaska, The islands lie west northwest trom all points on the Pacific Coast The distance of St George from Kodiak is 850 miles, from' Sitka 1,400, from Vancouver's Island 1,600, from San Francisco 2,250. The most complete account of the Seal Islands of Alaska is to be found in a mono graph written by Henry "W. Elliott, of the Smithsonian Institution, for the tenth census, which was afterward enlarged and reprinted at the Government Printing Office in this city, and issued as a special bulletin under the"nuspices of the late Prof. Spencer F. Baird, then United States Commissioner of Pish and Fisheries. SEALS EUTHLESSLT SLAUGHTERED. Mr. Elliott put in several seasons on the Seal Islands between the years 1872 and 1876 making observations and collections for this monograph, and the result is still the recognized text-book of the scientists. Mr. Elliott says that the reason why the seal rookeries of the North are confined to four islands is that there are no other snitable grounds in the North. The South American coasts and the islands that there abound afford an nnlimited extent of ground suitable for seal rookeries, and to a certain extent the seals avail thomselves of it, but not nearly as much now as formerly. The indiscriminate slaughter of a century has driven the fur seal almost out of the Antarctic waters and away from the South American rookeries. Fine breeding grounds to which the seals used to resort by the millions are all along the coasts of Chili, Bolivia, Peru, Western Patagonia and Terra del Fuego. The rook eries on the islands of St Felix and Juan Fernandez were very celebrated in their time. The Falkland Islands when opened up by Captain Cook in the last century fairly swarmed with fur seals. But instead of the millions that once existed there re ports say there is but an insignificant num ber now. The only rookery of any conse quence on the South American coast now, and the only one which receives any foster ing care, is a cliff-bound rookery which is owned and farmed out by the Argentine Re public at Cape Corientes, and the take at this rookery is restricted to about 3,000 skins a year. The sealskins of the world are now obtained from the seals that an nually resort to Behring Sea for breeding purposes. According to Mr. Elliott, the indiscrimi nate slaughter of the seal was continned in tbe South seas until the species was pretty nearlyextinguished, and the few millions re maining took flight for the North Pacific. The slaughter alluded to is attributed mostly to English fishermen. THE KILLING EESTRICTED. It was in 1786 that Gehrmau Pribylov, a ship's mate in the employ of one of the many Bussian companies then engaged in the fur business, discovered the islands now under consideration. St Paul, the larger island of tbe two, has an area of about 33 square miles. The annual killing of the seals is the only business done on the islands. The work is done by a colony of Aleuts, who are employed by the company which holds the contract with the United States Government. Under the old con tract the nnmber of seals which the Alaska Commercial Company was allowed to kill was 75,000 on St Paul and 25,000 on St. George, making 100,000 altogether. The law gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to change the limit whenever he sees fit, and the neV contractors, under the lease which was awarded a few weeks ago, will not be permitted to kill as many. The Aleuts get 40 cents apiece for taking the skins, which makes their pay very good during the working season, but the season is a short one from 40 to 50 days as a rule. In the summer of 1873, for insta'nee, 71 men worked 40 days secured 75,000 skins on the island of St Paul. The "season" on the Pribylov Islands be gins in May and closes in September. The bulls begin to arrive the first week in May. The cows do not follow for six weeks later. That period is spent in one "continuous fight for comfortable places. From the middle of June till the middle of July the cows keep arriving. The average bull weighs about 500 pounds and the average cow about 80. The bulls come to the 'islands at the begin ning of the season fat and sleek and go away at the close lean and haggard. The females bear a single pup each, and it is invariably born soon after the female lands. The breed ing season is at its height the second week in July and subsides entirely at the begin ning of August By the middle of Septem ber the young pups are all able to swim, the rookeries are broken up, and the season is over Although individual stragglers re main behind till the end of the year, the general crowd pack up and strike out for winter quarters before the end of September, jnst as it is customary to do at other summer watering places. A MILLION PUPS A TEAS. Mr. Elliott calculates that in the year 1873 there were, all told, abont 4,700,000 seals on Pribylov Islands, two-thirds of them breeders, and his opinion was that if the same regulations were continued, and no more than 100,000 male seals between the ages of 5 years and 1 were killed every year, there would be no danger of exterminating the race, or even of diminishing their num bers. He reckons that every year 1,000,000 pups are born on the Pribylov Islands, one half being males and the other half females. Fifty per cent of the young ones, he sup poses, are destroyed during their first year, so that only 50 per cent of them live to re turn to their birthplace on the anniversary of their birth. The second year, however, the mortality will not be bo greaVand 225,000 of the 250, 000 will return to the islands. Of this num ber of males it will be qnite sufficient toset one-filth aside for breeding purposes, leaving 180,000 young males that can be spared lor killing every year. This, of course, takes no account of unforeseen accidents or of slaughter by seal fishers in the water. The Pribylov Islands are believed to be the only land touched by these seals from one year to another, and when they leave the rook eries in the autumn or early winter they seem to scamper off toward the tropical waters to spend the winter. They can he on the surface of the water just as comfortably and sleep just as soundly as on land. David Lewslet. The Nation' Bank for Savinct, of Alle- cbeny.

THE YICB AND JUNIOR COMMANDERS For the first time the State of Vermont will have the honor to be the headquarters of the G. A. Pw, as the title of Commander in Chief has been bestowed upon one of her most distinguished soldiers and citizens. Colonel "Wheelock G. Veazey first saw the light in the town of Brentwood, Bocking ham county, N. H., December 5, 1835, and there he acquired the rudiments of bis edu cation. He then entered Phillips Exeter Academy, and laid the foundation for a col legiate course at Dartmouth, from which in stitution he graduated with honors in the class of 1859. He completed his legal studies at the Albany Law School, and settled in Butland. When the first sounds of war were heard he responded to the call with patriotic seal, and enlisted as a private in the Third Vermont Begiment. He was shortly afterward promoted to the captaincy of Company A of Ms regiment This regi- ment was later a part of the famous Ver mont brigade. Promotions came to him in rapid succession until he commanded his regiment This regiment had as its first commander General W. F. Smith (popular ly known, and in history, too, as "Baldy"). The regiment took part in the Peninsula campaign under McClellan in 1862 at Lee's Mills, and all the battles of that campaign. Colonel Veazey served with the regiment continuously until October, 1862, except for a time as chief of staff under General Smith or when in command ot other regiments by special detail. He was discharged early in that month for promotion to the Colonelcy of the Sixteenth Vermont Begiment, and this promotion was the turning point in his military career. This was fully demonstrated by subsequent events, for his regiment was destined to achieve a reputation at Gettys burg which made it famous the world over. HIS BBATEBT AT GETTYSBURG. At the reunion of his regiment, held at Chester, Vt, in 1878, Colonel Veazey deliv ered an address, in which his action at that eventful time was explained. In describing the events of the 3d of July, he said: "And then toward noon came the lull, and after that the cannonades and the vigorous assault on the left center, which we occupied. You remember how steadily you rallied and formed as you fell back before the main body of the enemy as he charged down the slope. You remember how you rose, as if suddenly grown out of the earth, and poured deadly volleys into the opposing ranks, and how the enemy broke and surged off to the right as though to pass by; how you wheeled out and formed, and then moved ou the rebel flank, firing as you ad vanced. His lines withered and disap peared under the destructive fire, and an other column came rushing down to carry him by our flank and rear. In the move ment the regiment had made in the capture of prisoners the regiment was much broken, and the appearance of a new force, about to pass us as just described, made it necessary for rapid and decided action on our part "It was plain that we must do one of two things, either double quick back to our orig inal position, with a view of reaching it be fore the enemy did, and so be there to receive him as he came down and advanced on our artillery, which was on the rise of ground to our rear, or change front (we then being faced at nearly right angles toward the right), so as to face obliquely to the left, and charge the enemy's flank as he should reach the bottom of tbe valley, along which was the ditch and bushes where we had been during the forenoon. It seems to me now almost inconceivable that in the confusion of that terrible battle that a regiment that had begun its fight on the skirmish line, had formed into battalion under a fearful fire and, in the face of a charging foe, had made a change of front and countercharge with a vigor that resulted in disorganiza tion, could in a moment's time be straight ened out,- reformed, make another change of front in the very center of the field where the battle raged in its greatest fury and men were falling every minute, and then charge again. But at that time my confidence in you was such that I did not even bebate the matter in my mind. There was, in fact, no time for that for 'the whole movement took place quicker that it can be described. I decided instantly to make the charge, be cause I felt and knew you would make it if ordered. At that moment we were ordered back to our original position. A BEILLIANT CHARGE. "This order was sent, as I now under stand, before this new column of the enemy appeared, but did not reach me until after its appearance, and then I understood it was made with reference to the approaching enemy. I therefore sent word back that we would be in season to take care of him. And while you were going through the movement of a change of front I saw General Stan nard and explained my plan, which he was qnite willing should be carried out, but at first thought it was impossible. I so well re member bis remark: 'Good God, Colonel, your men will do almost anything, but the men don't live this side of hell that can be made to charge down there!' My reply, whatever it was, convinced him to let us try. By that time yon had completed the change or lront, and the enemy had reached the point to be struck, and I remember, as I stepped in your front and said: 'Men, are yon ready for a charge?' your shout of respone seemed to me could be heard from Virginia to Vermont, and instantly the order was given, and be fore the enemy could change his front to meet you or could fall back yon reached his flank and swept down his line, eapturing regiment after' regiment, and stand after stand of colors, until the whole line had dis appeared, and the battle of Gettysburg was victoriously closed by the sons orVermont all unused to battle, amid the thundering GENEEAL 'WHEELOCIC G. VEAZEY. THE PITTSBURG-- DISPi.TOH, plaudits of the veterans ot the grand old army of tbe Potomac. This movement had the effect to concentrate a heavy artillery lire upon us, and caused us severe loss. The question is often asked me how we could go through such a battle without greater loss, it being less than 150 out of a total present of about 400. "The explanation is that the enemy clearly did not know our location during the artil lery fire, and so it was mostly over our heads, and after the infantry attack we were on the move almost constantly, hence the enemy could get no deliberate range upon us," EECOED SINCE THE "WAE. When the war was over Colonel Veazey returned to Butland and continued his law practice. In the fall of 1864 he was elected Reporter of Decisions of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and occupied that position for eight years. He was subsequently ap pointed Eegister in Bankruptcy, and held the office until the bankrupt law was re pealed. He bad begun to take an active interest in politics, and in 1872-1873 he was a member of the State Senate. In 1879 he was elevated to the bench of the Supreme Court of his State, and during the following year he performed the arduous duty of revis ing tbe laws of the State. Colonel Veazey held his judicial position for the period of ten years, resigning in 1889, after a faithful and efficient service. In that year he was appointed as member of the Inter-State Com mission by President Harrison, and occu pies that office at the present time. Colonel Veazey alwayB took a great interest in his alma mater, and has been a trustee of Darts mouth College since 1878. In 1887 that in stitution coulerred the degree of LL.D. npon him. With the Grand Army of the Bepublic, Colonel Veazey has been conspicuously identified. Through his instrumentality the department of Vermont G. A. B. was founded in 1867, and since that time he has been one of the firmest and stanchest friends of the order. He was elected Department Coinmander in 1873, and was re-elected for three years, his administrations giving a new growth to the department, which has never waned. In 1887 Commander in Chief John P. Eea, of Missouri, selected Colonel Veazey on his staff as Judge Advocate Gen eral. 'The dignitv of Commander in Chief is in turn well bestowed, and is a fitting compliment to Colonel Veazey, and was given with a unanimity of which he can justly feel proud. VICE COMMANDER JOBIN.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, FOR KEDTJOED LADIES Olive Logan Tells of the English Homes for Working Women. PALACES FOR A QUEER CLASS Ot Aristocratic Females With Whom Death Plays Odd- Tricks. MEN MAT BE HOMED IN LIKE 1IANNEK rCOBMSPONDBjrCI OV THE DISPATCH.! London, August 8. When the late A. T. Stewart, or his widow, started a home for women workers in New York, the enter prise was condemned from the beginning. "What sort of a project is this anyway7" was asked on all sides. "If it is a charity, why demand payment? If it is a mere ho tel specnlation like any other, why call it a philanthropic concern?" No class of critics were more active in its denunciation of the new house than the very women for whose use it was erected. With unanimous voice, by communications to the newspapers, con versations in the streets and conveyances, and every other mode of expression open to them, the poor working women of New York gave the rich merchant, or his execu tors, to understand that they rejected with indignation this action for their benefit, which in their opinion was errone ously so-called. The very fact that the home was known as a charitable affair militated against its Buccess with proud American women who labor hard for a living, and the various re strictions of liberty, such as being obliged to enter before a certain hour at night, to keep no birds, dogs or other domestic pets, were looked upon as rules of intolerable severity, only to be paralleled within the precincts of a jail. When feeling runs so strongly as this against an enterprise, col lapse is inevitable. The building is now known as the Park Hotel, and as such I be lieve it fulfills its allotted mission of paying satisfactory returns to the landlord and pro prietor. But it is no longer a home for women exclusively, and probably never will be again. That the Stewart idea is a novelty is proved by the fact that a London magazine of high standing accepted and published'an article trom my pen about tho time of the opening of the home, in which the project was explained and its probable beneficent result expatiated upon. I imagine, speak ing as from a mere impression, that the cause of the non-success of tbe enterprise was to be fonnd in the circumstance of pay ment being demanded by" a millionaire, as well as gratitude for his charity two things which are incompatible to minds which are devoid of much erudition in financial affairs. ENGLAND'S CAEE OF WOMEN. The Louise Home in Washington, in which a certain number of destitute ladies are most tenderly cared for from admsssion to death, without the disbursal of a single penny by themselves or their relatives, ah! that indeed is what one looks for as largesse to poor womankind from the hands of a manifold millionaire. On the other hand there are scores of cheap boarding houses in every large American city where girls can have the traditional "hash" and some sort of a roosting place, and where, though uncomfortably lodged, they are as free to go and come as the habitue of the parlor floor of tbe grandest of grand hotels. No bene faction will be received with gratitude by "Young America" which is trammeled with restrictions on American independence. To catalogue but a small portion of the in stitutions i tin England, where suffering women in sickness or in poverty, or afflicted with both evils, can be received at moderate prices or without payment of any kind, would cover the alloted limit of a newspaper article with a mere record of names. A directory of some 700 pages is published yearly, being a reference book to these insti tutions and nothing else. Large public hospitals, supported by voluntary contribu tions, are England's pride; many of these are devoted solely to the treatment of women. Outside of these great establishments there are scores of private institutions, which are kept up by private individuals for reasons of their own. What are those reasons? Well, in many cases they may be found in the fact that the benefactor has a deep loye of mankind, is sincerely anxious to relieve those to whom fate has not been so generous as to himself; in others social ambition adds the spur to action. A baronetcy or a knighthood lies ever in waiting for the British subject who shall buy it with the thousands necessary to fund and endow a charitable institution of importance, and though ladies are rarely ennobled for their munificence, (the Baroness Burdett Coutts was made a Peeress for this reason, how ever,) still Mrs. Madre with her Creche, Mrs. Onguont, with her hospital for poor women ot the Lazarus type, and others, are certainly more prominent socially because ot their'ebarity than they would be without it. Yet, glancing over the pages of tbe reference book I have named, I feel half ashamed to repeat the cynical gossip of this kind which one hears in the drawing rooms of idle men and women. The destitution in England is fnghtiul, but see what heroic efforts are made to relieve it In a remark able variety of forms, charity is at work to alleviate the pains of indigence. MODES OF BELIEF NUMEROUS. Leaving entirely aside benefactions show ered on the pauper class, tbe modes in which relief is afforded ladies of small means are numerous. There are several charitable homes which are open to ladies who possess small incomes of from 5100 to $250 per year. This sum is supposed to be sufficient to buy food and clothing, house rent, devoid of any taxes, attendance, etc, free. I am acquainted wittfa lady who en joys the Huggens charity. A large-hearted benefactor of her race named Huggens nothing very aristocratic about that left a bequest with which "Huggens College" was founded. By this charity 50 ladies and gentlemen, over 60, who possess incomes of not more than $100 per year are given, each one of them, a cottage, and other $250 a year to keep it up. Those well cared-for people are independent, safe trom storm or stress until death, can em ploy a servant and live, though modest ly, exactly as ladies and gentlemen should. The estate is in the loveliest part of Kent, only an hour from London, and still nearer the empress of watering places, Brighton. There is such an abundance of capital in England that an opportunity to obtain for its use more than 2 per cent in any safe un dertaking is eagerly sought. A company has been formed that lends money to set up women in business, and in the last two years. cuuiuiuu. auwa uaye ueeu juveaieu uy large capitalists in the erection of residential homes for the accommodation of ladies ex clusively. It has been found that with 12 inmates the board of all concerned can be made self-supporting, and with 20, the rates, taxes, firing and some part of the rent can be recovered. It therefore logically follows that to show a profit all that there is to be done is to increase the number of patrons. A percentage on capital ot 5 per cent is confi dently expected. LONDON .BESIDENTAL HOMES. Two palatial "homes" have so far been the outcome of this movement, and others are in course of erection. These residences are built as substantially and furnished as thoroughly as in any nobleman's mansion in Belgravia. The comparison between them and the egg-shell "flats" of New York, with their gaudy wall decoration, their horrors of colored bottle glass door panels, their thin walls which keep out neither heat in summer nor cold in winter, is forced reluctantly on the reflective mind. The former are built to last lorever aud a day, their owners no doubt believing, and I think with good reason, that so long as civilization in its present shape endures, there will be impecunious ladies looking out for homes of refinement at the lowest possible rates of payment Tbese London residential homes partake in no manner of the nature of the charities 1890. to which I have referred. Under the En glish acts the Ladies' Dwelling Company, limited, has been formed and the stock is on the market The Earl oi Aberdeen is one of the trustees for debenture holders; two la dies are on the directorial staffi The prin cipal objects in view are stated to be: To supply house accommodation, at reasouable rates, to ladies of small incomes, where, whilst retaining their entire- independence, they may live better and with greater econ omy than in the ordinary lodging houses; to provide good food, regular meals, suitable attendance at the lowest remunerative prices, to the residents and other ladies; to provide well-lighted studios and work-rooms for resi dents and their friends. Substantial sup port has been given to the undertaking by a number of ladies and gentlemen of the high est ability, and the Princess Mary of Cam bridge, Duchess of Teck, lately performed the ceremony of formally opening the great house at Sloane's Gardens. BEQUIBEMENTS FOB ADMISSION. Applicants for admission to these homes are required to make written statements concerning their birth, parentage and edu cation, and to give references as to their so cial status which will satisfy the commit tee in charge (composed of ladies) that the aspirant for residential comforts isa "lady." These communications are considered confi dential, and a moment's reflection will show how necessary they are to insure the harmony and respectability of the house. In England, where the law of primogeni ture is so strictly enforced, and the male heir absorbs the entire rent roll immediately on his successionthere are great numbers of aristocratic widows who are most cruelly reduced in financial circum stances, though their social standing remains unchanged. With many of the great titles .there is a dower house, and a certain income provides for the widow of the late Lard, but death plays such strange tricks sometimes! Until the beautiiul Gladys, now the Countess de Grey, married the Earl of that name there were no less than three Countesses of Lonsdale existing simultaneously, two of them dowagers. The reason whv the sprightly Lady Bless- ington got into her historical troubles was because from being the wife of an Earl, with a rent roll of $600,000, she suddenly found herself a widow with the proverbial "mite" of an income. She chafed against the change in circumstances, ran heavily into debt, and the creditors put an execution into Gore Lodge. That the directors of the Ladies' Dwelling Company have no intention of incurring bad debts, is evident from the fact that they demand a small advance deposit, or admis sion to the house, the rent of the rooms is weekly in advance; and meals are paid for in cash or coupons bought at the office as soon as terminated. SOME ODD BULES ENFORCED. The same restrictions which cansed such indignation at the Stewart mansion are in force in these London homes. No dogs or other pet animals are allowed to be kept; musical instrnments can be played under certain conditions. Their use and that ot sewing machines is prohibited between the hours of 10 F. 21. and 8 A.M. The house doors are closed at 10 P. M.; later comers must ring the night bell and pay sixpence. In case of infectious or serious illness, the directors reserve the right of removing the patients, with the concurrence of a medical practitioner. A tenant desiring to make a complaint must state it in writing addressed to tbe House Committee. Notice to quit may be given either by the directors or by the tenant; in the case of an unfurnished room, 14 days; a furnished room, seven days, no cause for such notice required to be given by either party. Prices of rooms vary according to size; the cheapest may be had for so small a snm as $1 85 per week. This is the unfurnished room: but to show with what enactness ex pert financiers can calculate the certainty of proht, a room can be furnished by their company for a rental of 37J cents per week. This sum creates a sinking fund which ad mits of the various articles being replaced when worn out, and at the same time pays a fair rate of interest on the capital invested in their original purchase. SMALL, NEAT AND CHEAP. To say that these rooms are spacious in size would be untrue; tbe largest of tbem are but small. In the case ot some of the cheapest, the system of dividing by curtains to insure comparative privacy is practiced. To such a space the name of "cubicle" is given, a contraction ot the Latin cubicu lum, a bedchamber. But whatsoever their Bize, the exqnisite cleanliness of the English home is always observable in them. Neat, whitecapped maid servants, armed with brush and pail, are ever on the alert to keep the place tidy as a residence for "ladies." The drawing' room, library, and dining rooms are large, airy and commodious, and open, of course, to all residents alike. Board may be partial or entire; in the latter case it is charged for at the rate of abont $3 75 per week for four meals Br day sufficient for anybody in all conscience. The great need of the day is cheap homes for holders of slender purses. The third class railway carriages ate those which pay the finest profit, in England. And railway directors have had the sense to make these coaches, in every practical way, as comfort able as those of the first class. Individuals, as well as companies, are entering tbe cheap boarding house bnsiness in London. -Lad y Gunning, widow of a clerical baronet de scended from the "beautiful Gunnings," and herself offspring of a ducal house, has opened six adjoining residences for ladies only, where prices are as low as the strictest financial calculation can offer them. Good London references -are required from appli cants for entrance to these houses. It is rumored that Lady Gunning will next try the experiment of cheap homes for "gentlemen." Lord Bowton, it is stated, has a similar plan in view. There are suffi cient in England, and in America also, who like home comforts almost as much as women do, and would be glad to secure them at the moderate rates ot payment pre vailing, as I have given above, in the exist ing.

To the writer, Mrs. Phillips said: "I was under treatment for my catarrhal trouble with various physicians, for at least seven years. It was a long time to be affl icted and obtain no relief. The physi cians all pronounced my case incurable, and I myself had almost given up all hopes of ever getting rid of it. "My condition was miserable in the extreme. First one nostril would be clogged up and then the other. There was a feeling of tightness across the bridge of my nose and a f nllness in my head, lhada dull pain in my forehead directly over my eyes. . m dR wh K. x" my HbtmKr lira.

I would arise in tbe morning more tired than when I went to bed. "I was scarcely able to do the lightest labor. I read of Drs. Copeland &. Blair and called to see them. They did not promise to perform miracles, but I felt confident they understood my case, so I Degan treatment. "The result has been wonderful. I improved rapidly. My appetite became better.
