Having seen Fred pull off Just sucb stunts in these parts we believe every word of it, but aving gotten into a foreign country at a time wheo tbe war spirit is at a high tension, we'd advise him to be careful lo respect the laws of international neutral ity and exercise great caution in what he writes home about landing big fish and utting It over on some of his supposed friends hereabout, for they are already green with envy.

Shortly after one o'clock. while Mr. Wenk was In tbe barn, which he had a few moments before opened to admit mail carrier John Cunningham witb bis rig to shelter tbem from tbe storm, a vivid flash of lightning and a sharp report came almost simultaneously. The men looked out of tbe barn door but saw no evidence of a stroke in either tbe barn or tbe bouse. Twenty minutes later a similar flash and crash came, and tben Mr. Wenk went to tbe bouse to flud that both bolts bad taken effect on the bouse. The first followed the chimney. loosening the bricks and filled tbe sitting room witb a cloud ef soot and ashes, damaging the wall paper and about every article of furniture aud brio-a-brao iu tbe room.

That was the remark of Mayor "1. Sig- gins, as he alighted from tho Washington sleeper this morning at 11 o'clock, after over a week's roughing it on the way from Lon don here. Dr. Siggins said the scenes in London ballled description. Everybody is war mad and suspicious of every ono else. The plight of thousands of Americans, who arc stranded there, most of them without a cent, is pitiable indeed, and tho problem of existence, until some relief can be afforded them, is staring them in the face. English gold is the only purchasing medium, and travelers' checks and similar paper, pos- scscd by most of tho Americans, is abso lutely useless. Food is hard to get, even with English money, and the hotels are all as practically shut dow n as they are in Oil City, as most of the help there is foreign and immediately, on tho reports of war, departed in haste. When tho big crash came, along with tho announcement of war, Dr. Siggins, in ad dition to his travelers' checks, had half a pound in English gold. All the banks shut automatically, and remained Bhut, Dr. Siggins was forced to muke his half pound go far as it would. After that was gono he involuntarily fasted for about three days. Dr. Siggins was staying at the Waverly, one of tho largest hotels in London, and in re sponse to an Inquiry as to where something to eat might be had, the manager answered that he did not know, hut Mr. Siggins could look around and forage for himself. Everything and anything can be seized by the government without enumeration or explanation. Dr. Siggins saw all sorts of vehicles and horses seized, and at ono time was planning to go out into the coun try when he heard a commotion below and beheld soldiers leading 30 horses out of the stables of the hotel. The American Express company did wonders towards alleviating thesuffering of the distressed Americans by cashing their paper for English gold, giving as much as they could for it. At first the limit was $10 but later dropped to $20. Dr. Siggins said tho Unas of Americans waiting for this ai J were blocks in length, and that he often stood for hours in this line hoping to get a chance to cash some of his paper. The Great Eastern railroad, of England, is managed by an American, who did all he could towards helping thestranded tour ists. In addition to carrying them, he caused notices to be posted in every hotel that the American Express company would cash the travelers' checks. To he seen with a camera in London, or to he taking more than casual interest in anything, military or otherwise, places a foreigner under the surveillance of a shad ow almost immediately. An American who wanted a picture of tho docks at Lon don, snapped them, and when lie turned around he found a bayonet tickling his nose. He had a hard time proving that lie was not a spy. Dr. Siggins related another instance. When a woman doctor of their party, who spoke French, translated a telegram from English into French, for a Frenchman, who had discovered in somo way that the lady spoke French. Next day she read in one of the London newspapers an account of the execution of a spy and his description tallied exactly with the man for whom the translation was made. Ten thousand American tourists left Lon don on Saturday, August 15, some with baggage and more without. Mayor Sig gins was aboard the St. Louis and said that the struggles of the frantic Americans to get uhoard were terrible. Wives were sepa- rateu irom uieir liusbamls and lumilies were torn apart. In one instance which came under his observation a woman wasscpara ted from her husband. Ho was left behind and she was aboard the boat, with out a cent of money and ignorant of his whereabouts Another instance took place where a wo man had only enough money for her pass age to the States, and about to get aboard when it was discovered that her baby hud measles. Weeping she was led back and must go to a London liospitul until the child has recovered. Conditions on bourd ship wcro terrible, Dr. Sigguis came across in the steerage and tho v-sj f was greatly overloaded. Accoin moduwi were to be had for 1,000 at most, including the crew, and l.LIW were crowded aboard the craft. The crew was entirely green, all the seasoned hands having been seized by the naval authorities. Had a lire occurred tho entire shipload would have perished, as the purser told Dr. Siggins that the crew could not even get ono of the life boats over the side, let alono enough to save the passengers. The stewards and pur sers were in collusion, and graft was the rule of the hour. Exhorhitant prices were charged for everything and tho passengers of tho lirst-class were barefacedly robbed by these officers. The food in the steerage was rank and most of tho passengers there had to pass it up. Once in a while, at the beginning of the voyage one of the first- class passengers would appear with a roast duck or other delicacy. Instantly ho was surrounded by a horde of fellow passengers who begged for little piece of the tempting morsel. Dr. Siggins said that often he dreamed of the big meal he was going to have just as soon as ho reached New York. Ironically enough, upon his arrival lie lost his appetite, and has not recovered it yet. l!4wre leaving lie laughed at tho idea of dieting to reduco weight. The return trip alone cost the doctor 20 pounds, and now ho is wiser in the loro of theory versus practice. Tho Atlantic is full of English cruisers and Dr. Siggins sighted 15 of them coming over. On seeing the St. Louis thesecriiiscrs would steam up to her at full speed, and, after seeing that she was a neutral 'ship, would sheer oil. Dr. Siggins said that there are thousands of American tourists in Kng land now, without the means or possibili ties of getting home, and many of them are facing the prombleiii as to where they will get their next meal.
