She Holds a Brief Keception at the Depot. Queen Kaplolani and’her suite arrived in this city Inst evening from the east in a hotel car of the New York Central & Hudson River road. The queen was robed in a iraveling garment of a grey- ish linen and sat in the rear doorway of the car enjoying the scenery along the line of the road, and chatting in her na- tive tongue with her sister-in-law, Prin- cess Lilinokalani. The queen had a black straw hat on_and wore solitaire diamond earrings. Her complexion is not as black as that of the princess, but a mdch lighter brown, while she has exceedingl, large features and & broa forehead. She is in the fifty-third year, while the princess is forty-nine years of age. The party consisted of the queen; the princ- ess. who Is a sister of King Kalakaaa; her husband, General Jo Dominis, who is a Bostonian; General C. P. Iaukea; Colonel J. H. Boyd, a female servant and three male servants. At the transfer on the other side of the river Colonel Boyd introduced General AIxenc Stevens, of the Rock lsland, and Miss Stevens to the party. The queen extended her hand, which was neatly gloved in black kid, but lhnpl{ smiled, not understanding the English language. The party came through from New York direct, and will continue their jour- ney without any aelay. The queen ex- pressed herself to the BEE reporter through Colonel Boyd, as anxious to get to San Krancisco,” where she expects news direst from her husband. She is confident that the governmental diflicul- ties will all be satisfactorily arranged. When asked if she feared that violence might be done the king, she smiled, and replied that she anticipated no trouble in that respect, for if there was m:iy danger he would have communicated directly with her., No news was good news for her. She had not heard directly from him since leaving New York, but had watched the papers closely, and had gained more information from the tele- graph columns than from any private sourco. Drowned in the Missourl, William Steinbach, while bathing in the Missouri river near the waterworks, about 8 o'clock last evening, was seized with cramps and sank before assistance could reach him, although desperate ef- forts were made by those present to res- cue the unfortunate man. Aftersinking, the body failed to reappear on the sur- face and was vprobably carried down stream. Steinbach was about nineteen years old and worked in South Omaha, A New Opera House, To-day workmen will begin tearing out the exposition main room with the view of turning the same into a grand opera house.

Experience of a Man Who Worked For Health, Dakota Bell: “No,” said the pale yuunf man, sadly, “I am not working on a farm for my health now."" ““Is that so?” Yes. I have come away, and the farm which knew me would perhaps know me yet if it could get a sight of me, but it can't, “I went out, you know, by the advice of a physician.” Said he: ‘You need out- door exercise, and, above all, sleep, such long, quiet nights’ sleep as you can only find 1n the country, away from the noise and heat of the city, with the great open windows and the cool and velvety breeze floating through your room all mghtlong, with perhaps an occasional night with the pattering rain upon the roof to lull yu.u| to sleep.’” That's what the physician said. **So I hired out to a farmer to work all summer. He said was 80 white and ale that he couldn’t give me anythin ut my board for my services, but if wanted to work for that I might climb 1n behind the seat and ride out. “So I did, He had one mule and one horse, and the mule balked every time we went up hill, and the horse every time we went down hill, and they both tried to run away on the level. He drove tnem with a trace-chain tied on a white ash axe-helve. “But we got out there at last. Idon't want to tell you anything about the work to-day--1 haven't time—but I feel as if [ must say something about those long nigh(s‘ sleep. ‘The first mght we got home late, but still the sun was only nicely down. The 8sun sets about twr hours later out there than anywhere else 1n the known world. “After nul:pcr the farmer spent one hour and a half telling me about the flax orop on the back 40, and then he reckon- ed we better milk, There were 12 cows, and he said each would take six. He gave me the Kkickers, and it took me two hours, and it had been dark a long time when I finished. Then he had me pump up water for the next day, and it took forty minutes. Then I filled the wood-box and split the kiud: ling wood. And, as it was a big box. it took thirty minutes. Then he told me about the oat crop, which took an hour. And when I went to bed it was growing liqht in the east. ‘The window in the room was a pane of gluss nailed over un irregular hole in the boards and could not be opened. I felt around in the dim light and finally ot into bed. T had just fallen asleep and ad begun to dream I was lylnfi along the ridge-pole of & double-humped camel, when the faamer pounded on the stairs with an old broomstick and said break- fast was ready. I couldn'tsee as it was any IiEhter than when I went to bed, though the sky in the east was a little redder, “I will pass over the day. for it is pain- ful to recall. Or rather the day and the last end of one night and tho first end of another, for we were in the hay tield six- teen hours. “And that evening after supper he said I might throw the dirt out of a new cellar while I rested. *‘Then we milked and he gave me eight cows instead of six—all kickers. And one of them was a hooker, too, and slammed me throughthe corn-crib. "I got to bed an hour sooner than the night before because he said ho was thinking some of getting up early the next morning, *‘And that night it rained, and I heard the pleasantest patter of the rain on the roof that that old fraud of a doctor spoke about. Butitdidn't lull me to sleep, because it leaked down on me and got th?dt'md-clotheu all wet, aud I caught cold.” “And when the farmer pounded on the stairs I got up and looked at my watch and I had been abed an hour and forty minutes. And my clothes were wet and there was water in my shoes. “‘But it was a good day and we worked at the hay again. We mowed down what the farmer called a ‘slather’ of it. And that might after I had rested awhile on the cellar and milked twelve cows— twelve kickers—and oue of them thought I was trying to kidnap her calf and chased me out of the yard—the farmer said 1t looked like rain again and he reckoned we'd better go out and cock up that hay before bedtime. “*‘And before we got to the fleld I saw the morning star, and when 1 had got up twelve bunches of hay and the old hypo- crite of a four, Iheardalark. When I had up tweenty-four bunches and the old hypocrite of a farmea six, it began to £row quite light. “*When the farmer saw it he laid down on the hay and laughed for ten minutes. He said we had worked right through the night without knowing |¥. “But 1 had known more about it than he thought I had, “We worked an hour longer and then we went (o the house and I milked. Breakfast wasn’t quite ready and I threw a couple of cubic yards of sand out of the bottom of the cellar. “And while we were eating the farmer told me to hurrY because he would like to get in one fu! fduy‘n work during hay- ing. I said I would, too, and that [ would stop and go out and harness the horses. And he said that was business, and [ went out and ran down the road and walked into town. *‘And now I am looking for that old liar of a physician and surgeon who told me about the long night's sieep I would get on a farm,” Sonator Vest's Story, New York Tribune: Mr. Vest, whil not & success as a politioal prophet, is one of the best story tellers in the sen- ate. One day something was said in his Q,rennuu about the negro as a soldier, est contended that in exact, literal obedience and enforcement of orders the colored soldier is unsurpassed, He said: “After the war I went up tho river to Shreveport on a steamboat. There was alarge quantity of government cotton on the levee, protected by negro sentries, and there was _ strict orders ~against smoking. went ashore with Major Gillespie. Now the major was one of the best fellows in the world and he was such a stickler for su- peaiority on account of birrh and race that he would hardly admit that the Can- casian and the negro were proper sub- ects for comparison. He wasa man of ery temper, too, and withal as brave as lion. As he was lighnn; a cigar at the gangway I remarked: "Major, the or- ders against smoking are very strict.”” “Never mind,” he replied, ‘I don’t see anybody about except nigger guards." Well "we had not walked a dozen yards when we heard the command: ‘“‘Halt,” and the click of a trigger as the hammer was raised. We halted. There stood a soldier, black as the ace of spades, looking at us along the shining barrel of & Springfield rifle. “Drap da segah,” he said. The major looked at the gun, at the man behind 1t, at the ‘segah’ and then he let the lighted ‘segah’ drop to the ground. ‘Tromp out dem sparks,” was the next command, Again the major looked at the gun and the man belind it, and then he meekly ‘tromped out dem sparks.' After we got uuy&oll'ared the major a ‘segah,’ but he said that he didn't believe he cared to smoke,'" e 1o Italy but little credit business is done, and none without good security being given, TRIED TO STEAL A PRINCESS A Museum Midg:t——_sijzcd on the Streots, LITTLE MAIDEN'S ADVENTURE. The Attempt Witnogsed by a Large Crowd Which Pursues the Kid- napper aud Finally Frus- trates Hie Design, hicago Herald (hansom cab went tward on Madifdn'street at a break- neck speed shortly before 9 o'clock last night. 1n full pursuit were a hundred or more excited and perspiring men and women yelling ‘Police,” and ‘‘Stop them’’ at the top of their voices. From the interior of the vehicle the screams of a child, varied with cries of *‘Policeman, help me,” *‘He'll murder me’’ could be heard a block away. As the cries be- came more pitiful in tone and the shouts of the pursuers increased in volume the cabman stood up mn his seat and mierci- lessly lashed the almost exhausted beast. Ofticer McQuade of the Harrison street detail, was standing on the viaduct as the vehicle approached, and hearing the the cries siiouted to the cabman to pull up. At the same time he sprang into the roadway and seized the reins, but the driver made no eflortto check the speed, and after being dragged several ds at imminent danger to limb, if not to life, the oflicer was compelled to loosen his hold, The cabman turned south on Canal street toward the Union depot, but here a block of vehicles compelled him lessen his speed, and McQuade, who had been following close behind, was enabled to again catch the lines, and this time to bring the animal to a standstill. A cou- ple of moments later the vehicle was re- turning to the south side at a more leis- urely pace, with the crowd, which met it on the bridge, still in pursult. This exciting scene was tne sequel to a sensational episode which had occurred in the center of the city a quarter of an hour before. lattle Ida Meclntyre, better known as the Princess Ida, the sixteen- year-old twenty-six-inch midget, who appeared at the South and West Side museums a couple of weeks ago, has, with her mother, been stopping temporarily with Mrs, kngle, at 151 East Washington street. Their permanent home 18 in Kenosha, Wis., where they reside with the parents of Mrs. McIntyre, who has been separated from her husband_for some time. About 8:30 “Princess Ida" was sitting on the steps of 151 talking with twelve-year-old Ida Engle, when a slim, neatly dressed man, with a straw hut pulled well down over lus forehead, crossed the street with hurried steps,and without u word seized the midget in his arms and started on the run toward La- Salle strect. For a moment both ot the girls were deprived of ‘the power of ut- terance. The midget was the first to re- cover her lung power, and she com- menced to scream atithe top of her voice, while the Engle girls, who was following close behind, joined in the chorus, At LaSalle and Madison streets the man, who was in reality the midget's father, jumped 1nto a hansom which had’ evidently been in waiting, and ordered the ver to hurry to the union depot, By this time a crowd of some fifty people Lad been at- tracted by the cries, and, headed by the almost hysterical Englé girl, they gave chase to the vehicle, which turnea west on Madison, at the sume time howling to the cabman to stop. By the time Fifth avenue wuas reached the crowd had doubled, and cries of “Lynch him!” in- duced the cabman to pufl up short. A west-bound street car was standing at the corner, and while the crowd was on the pavement the man, with the child in his arms, sprang out on the other side and took a seat on the platformin the rear of the driver. The crowd, however, discovered his stratagemin the twinkling of an eye, and in less time than it takes to tell the story a couple of stalwart men had carried him bodily off the car and de- posited him on the sidewalk. Here Me- intyre in a plausable way broceeded to ain to the nxronfg that he was merely ng home his lost daughthe. This 1sed something of a reaction in his avor, and as Ida, who wus completely exhausted, made no remonstrance, the impromptu jury decided not with goodly chorus of “Nous,” to allg to gohis way. But no sooner h entered the cab than Princess lda menced her shriecks and the crowd its chase. The result has already be After the attempted kidnapping been frustrated by Oflicer Mc( party was driven back to the Washing- ton street building, and after a short par- ley, in which the child ‘xrou-stml that sha)| | aid not want to go with her father, and the latter claimed the right to do what he pleased with his own oflspring, Mclutyre was taken to the central sta- tion. Tho midget and her mother, who had been at some place of amusement during the trouble, were brought in soon after. Meclntyre made various charges nst his wife, alleging that she was not a fit person to have the custody of the “‘Princessy’’ but after all sides had been given a hearing, the police anthor- ities decided that the child should remain in the care of the mother until the father took legal steps to obtain her control, As McIntyre had no alternative but to ac- cept this decision or to be locked up for disorderly conduct, he lost no time in quitting fhe building. “If father once got me ['m surc he would kill me,” said the midget, later in the might, *“When we werein the cab he threatened to do so, aml tried to choke me, and I jabbed him in the neck with this,” holding up & bouquet pin about four inches in length. He has not contributed a cent tow- ard our support for years,” she continued, speaking with remarkable force and diction, *‘and mother has given him money from my earnings at a mus- eum. He was locked up in Milwaukee for a long time for :ryin’( toshoot a man, until final li' mother got him out by pay- ing $125. I told her then sk as foolish, and she realizes it now.’ We have been living at Kenosha trymyg to keep out of his way, but while 1 ' was exhibiting at the West Side museum . o, couple of weeks ago, he ecame there and created a scene, telling the people naughty things about us. Mother took out w warrant tor him at the time, but it has never been served. If he were kind to us and tried to support us there would be np necessity for my appearing in public; buk he won't work and he won't let us algne.

BUGEE'S GOLDEN BRICKYARD. Bricks Worth a Quarter of & Dollar Aplec San Francisco Chronicle: Henry Bugee cume to Frectown a few months ago and established a brickyard. Nobody knew exactly what he expected to do in that line, as there was no great demand for building material; but as Bugee seenied satistied there was no remonstrance. The brickmaker was industrious, and, as he did not make many sales, the pile of bricks in his yard grew prodigiously. One dnf’ about a fortnight ago Bugee left suddenly for Sacramento, and on his re- turn half a dozen men came with him, Then the secret of his visit leaked out. Having had some experience as a miner, Bugee became convicted soon after his arrival here that there was gold in the sand that he was using, but as it did not seem to be in paying quantities he paid little attention toit. ~ At length he came upon a patceh that stimulated his curiosity, and taking & box full of it with him he went to Sacramento, where he had it assayed with the result of iinding that it was worth $80 a ton. Bugee then called in a few triends and the; preparing to work his ‘‘brick gold., An interesting feature of the strike 18 the effect on the market value of the f‘l"«‘:lt stack of bricks which he h hand. It is roughly figured that e of these is worth 25 cents, and measures will be taken to get the dust out of them, In town there is one house built entirely of these bricks which the owner is think- ing of tearing down, and another man has a house partly tinished and a contrs with Bugee for several thousand more bricks, which will be delivered according to ngreement. Bugee is known as the gold brick man, the first honest man who ever bore that title. i Terms ot Credit in Different Coun- tries, The ollowing data regarding the terms rdit allowed 1n various countries are ived from rnlmm of United States consuls, published by the government, It appears that in Germany the credit system is very widespread, and that the purchasers i settling their actions are generally much longer than in Fra and England. Nearly every commercial® and manufactaring branch of business has 1ts own aarticular terms of credit, x\nd! there is no uniformity in this res- pect. \ In England a payment of the price of the goods delivered is required at the end of thrce months, dating from the day of shipment In France a four months’ acceptance is required to be sent 1n settlement of the invoice. In Spain four-fifths of the transactions are done on a eash basis, while in Portu- aai great liberality is shown, and quite a ong credit 18 usually allowed. of de In Austria it 18 scarcely possible to do [ business without allowing a very long | credit, which is nearly always one of six months, In Turkey even objects of prime neces- sity are sold on credit, and in this coun- try, rs well as in Russia, the time allowed is in most cases twelve mouths- In Cuanada settlements are made at the end of thirty days, with a discount of 5 per cent. Sometimes a credit of from three to six months 18 allowed, but 1n this case there 18 no discount, In Mexico the large commercial houses willingly give credit of trom three to six monlhs. and in the retail trade longer terms are given customers in which to settle their accounts. In Costa Rica a credit of from six to twelve months is given in case of mer- chandise imported from Europe, in order that the fioods may be easily and quickly disposed of. But sinca this system of credit has often led to losses, it is now being given up. In Cuba the time fixed for payment is generally from four to five months after delivery of the goods. The consul general of the United States at Rio states that one of the greatest drawbacks to commeacial intercourse with Brazil resides in the necessity of al- lowing too long a crodit. At Rio Janeiro, as at Buenos Ayres, minimum credit is six months. Inthe Bermudas accounts are settled but once a year. The 30th of June is the day usually fixed for the payments. fn Asia Minor a credit of but two or three weeks is in most cases all that is al- lowe In China it is not customary to give credit. Money is obtained from lenders whoexact an interest of from 8 to 12 per cent.
