14 ' A CLOSE OBSERVER. THE YANKEE DRUMMER'S STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT EUROPE. Information Abort London, Pwrln and Ger many From a Big, Red Haired Man —He Saya He Kept HJ» Ryes <*R«—»• «on ' Think He Did? "Greater New York is going to be bigger than Landon, " remarked the lit tle man in the cross seat with an air of wisdom. “No, siree. it isn’t !" said the trig red haired man who sat alongside of him as he dusted an invisible speck from his ®ew coat. "It won’t be a marker to London I’ve been there.” “What—to Loudon?" “Sure, I have It was three years age. ,and 1 know what I’m talking about “Now, it's a strange fact that there are -some fellows in our business that'll travel all around and never see any thing 1 always keep my eyes open in dtrange towns, it gives a man things to talk about and it broadens him. ” The little man began to eye his com panion with new interest He pondered his sage words for a minute and said: “How'd it happen?" “Why. it came about just after I left .you .at St. Louis 1 returned to New York and brought back with me $(>0,000 worth of orders. That pleased the firm, 1 can cell you. for no one was doing any business in those days. Our foreign buy •er was ill and as I was pretty well post bed on what the trade wanted the firm to me: " ’Here, Jcues. you go over to the vcontineut and do our buying this win ter. ’ Didigo? Well, doesaduck swim?” "Where did you go?" asked the little rman. “London. Paris and Germ’ny. ” “Say. what kind of a town is London ’anyway? I’ve always wanted to know. ” “Well, I’ll tell you on the level. It’s ,* bum. two for a cent place. It’s no igood. and that’s straight. I’ve been there. Don t you let anybody fool you about it. You can read all of this jubi lee stuff' you want, and if any one tells Loudon is any good you just tell him that Jones said it was on the bum. ” The little man’s face brightened up, ■evidently from the delight of getting statements first hand, and, iwith the air of a man who wanted to 'improve each shining hour and add to Ihis stock of knowledge, he said : "Tell me about London. Is it any thing like New York?” "Not a bit. 1 know all about the town. It’s 2d years behind the times, ilt’s like New York was before the war. Why, honest, now, there are whole jrows of houses that look like they were 'falling down. The streets are dirty and 'crooked, and all houses are built flush -twith the street. 1 couldn’t do any busi iness there at all. They are a saving lot, those English." "Did you see any fine buildings?" “Not one, except a church or two. ■Now what I’m telling you is honest. 'There isn’t a building in the whole town worth seeing, and if there was you couldn’t see it halt the time. It’s a dirty, foggy place and not fit to live in. It’s an old'apple woman of a town. Ev erybody in Loudon drinks ale or gin. I’m telling you straight, it’s ou the jbum " “Paris is bigger, isn’t it?" W "Well—er —no. Not exactly bigger. (London is a whaling big place and (don\ you make any mistake. I rode 'right straight ahead one day from 7 in ‘the morning until 2 in the afternoon, and 1 was in London all the time. Par is is different. 1 got some great bar gains there. " , " Did you take your wife with you to 1 Paris?" L “No; she staid in New York because ■I was going on business. 1 can tell you jail about Paris, and you can rely on it, ; 'for I’ve been there “ The little man’s eyes brightened in anticipation, and he said: “Tell me all about it—everything. ” “Paris," said the big man in the tone of a platform orator, “is all right, and you can say that 1 said so You ■can live there and see the town on 16 a day—that is $2 —good living ’too Sipeuiug./Josts ydu 40 cen£s a night Consumption Will SCOTTS EMULSION cure consumption?

The Pans boulevards are pretty fine, though. ” The little man looked disappointed at his friend’s meagerness of detail Then he remembered Germany, and he asked his friend what he had seen there. "Now you are getting right into my stamping ground," said the big man. "Germany beats them all. 1 went to Berlin, and, say, 1 bought a line of sat inets there that netted the firm $70,000 Now, what do you think of that? Was not that a good stroke? Oh, 1 tell you Germany is my stamping ground!” “What interested you there?” “Why. I saw everything, and how the Germans drink beer!

Mrs. Mary Skinner, who lives in Wayne county, Pa., across the Dela ware river from Cochecton, N. Y., re cently had her house shingled and re paired. There would be nothing strange about this but for the fact that this is the first time'the house has been re paired or reshingled since 1796, when the dwelling was built. It is known in the Skinner family as the “new house, ” because it took the place of the old house which was built in 1765 and was burned by the Indians in 1777. The old bam is still standing though. It was built in 1777 and needs no re pairs The locality where these buildings stand was one of the first places where white people settled in the Delaware valley, the Skinner family having gone thither in 1754 Daniel Skinner, the pioneer of the family, was an old sailor. The hills and valleys hereabout were covered with dense forests of pine. Daniel Skinner knew the value of the timber for ship spars, and he thought he could find a profitable market for it at Philadelphia, but Philadelphia was 250 miles away, with no means of com munication but a river, the character of whose channel was then unknown to any living white person. Daniel Skin ner made a raft of pine tree stems and with a hired man started down the river with it m the spring of 1765. He started the raft on a raging flood and landed it safely at Philadelphia in 48 hours. He sold the timber for <2O a stick. There were 20 of them in the raft Such pine Sticks would be cheap at $ 150 apiece to day That was the beginning of rafting on the Delaware Skinner and his com panion made the journey from Phila delphia home on foot, more than 200 miles being through an unbroken wil derness. They were two weeks on the way The Skinner estate has never been in possession of any one other than a descendant of the pioneer.—New York Suu. . 1 .. . ..* . t. ... THE HOME TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER J 4. 1»97. BOTH LEAPED TO DEATH. Two Men Jninped Prom a Bridge aa a Teal ot Their Bravery. The most Ihrilliug double tragedy in the, history ot Minnesota occurred re ceutly in St Paul, at the high bridge over the Mississippi At that hour the crowd of people on the bridge was hor rified to see a mau s form shoot down from the rail on the east side of the structure Before the rapidly descend ing figure reached the water, over 200 feet away, another man mounted the rail and swung off feet first. The bodies struck the water not five feet apart They came up once each, but sauk from view aud were no- doubt washed down the stream by the current. Boats were procured at ouce and the river was dragged for some time, but neither body was found It was nearly two hours be fore any trace of the identity of the men could be obtained. During the evening it was discovered that they were two members of the St. Paul Cigar Mak ers’ union. Henry Bergenkreuger and Jacob Amos. At 3 o'clock they sat in a Sixth street restaurant While there they got into an auimated conversation, becoming so excited that-' the proprietor stopped to listen to them. Bergenkreuger insisted that Amos had no courage, whereupou the latter said he had quite as much as the former Each appeared to be willing to make auy sort of a test of his bravery, and a suggestion by Bergenkreuger that they both jump from the high bridge was eagerly taken up by his partner They left the restaurant talking about the big plunge, and the next that was heard of them was that they had actually made the leap.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat.

New Type of Fighting Machine Among the Navies of the World. The launching of the British battle ship Canopus, recently effected at Ports mouth, England, is of more than pass ing interest, for it marks the appear ance of a new type of fighting machine among the navies of the world. The Canopus is one of six similar vessels How under construction as experiments. The new Canopus is briefly described as a modified and improved Majestic. In length the two are alike, each meas uring 390 feet, but the Canopus dis places only 13,050 tons to the Majestic’s 14,900 —a considerable difference. The Canopus is thus naturally narrower and shallower than the Majestic, being only 74 instead of 75 feet wide and drawing only 26 instead of feet. While thus smaller than the Majestic, the Canopus is fitted with more powerful engines. Her boilers are of the new Belleville water tube type. Each of her two screws will be driven by an inde pendent set of triple expansion engines, the whole developing 13,500 horsepower against the Majestic’s 13,000 and driv ing the vessel at the rate of 185£ knots, or a full knot faster than the Majestic. The coal bunkers will have a capacity of 1,900 tons. The main battery will consist of four 12 inch wire guns, mounted in pairs, in barbettes. There will also be twelve 6 inch quick firing guns, each in an ar mored casement, twelve 12 pounders, six 8 pounders and eight maxims. There will be five torpedo tubes, four of them being submerged The armor belt of the Canopus is only six inches thick. The heaviest armor is over the bulkheads and on the barbettes and conning tower, its maximum thickness being 12 inches. The protective deck is of nickel steel, from one and a half to two and a half inches thick and covered not with wood, but with linoleum—an improvement suggested by experience in the battle of the Yalu.—New York Tribune.
