These are the domiciles of two Ital- of means, who, although being very ignorant men, vied with each other for the social leadership of the locality. One day a newcomer, in search of temporary lodgings, attracted bya conspicuous sign in the window of the first of these two houses, stepped to the door to make inquiry. “ Tsee you have furnished rooms here?’ he said to the swarthy man who answered his knock, “Ya,” rejoined the for- eigner, pointing to the fur- nished-room sign; ‘‘ dere’s da sign!” “Well, if you have one that’s suitable I'd like to rent it for a while."” ** We no rent da rooms,”" was the bewildering declara- tion. ‘I got my family in here, and dey take up all da house. ** “Don’t rent any rooms?

Park Row and Grub Street continue the shortest markets in the world. Reporters and pocts have been making call loans for three months. ning News—The Gofferhol reports that the outcroppings of Eastern savings are good and they expect to lay bare the vein in the near future. Early assays indicate at least a hundred thousand dollars to the ton of stock.
