passed. Townsfolk crossed the bridge,
talking Of the news OF the day, and q
little man, wearing yellow coat, leaned
over the railing and amused himself by
dropping stones into the water, as il to
create circling eddies, which he watched
with satisfied look. Four o'clock
struck, and the Minister'S messenger
started on his return to Paris. Very
late in tile evening the young man,
greatly disappointed at the result of his
mission, arrived at the house of Louvois.
Tho Minister was still awake and rushed
to see his protege.
"What did you see?' he asked.
al saw peasants going and coming o
squad of militia passed over the bridge
citizens who walked along discussing the
days news, and little man wearing q
yellow coat, who was amusing himself
by dropping stones into the water"
The Minister had heard enough, and
he hurried to the King. The little man
in yellow was secret agent, and the
stones dropped into the water was
signal that all difficulties had been over
come, and that Strasbourg belonged to
France.

THE LITTLE MAN IN THE YELLOW

Two hundred years ago almost at the

tering Strasbourg, the Roi Solicit started
out from Fontainebleau to take possess
sion in person of his new conquest.
The day before-that is to say, on the
29th of September, 1,SI-Louis XIV.
had announced to his court in the pres-
ence of the German Ambassador. that
he had made up his mind to 60 to Stras.

eddy opposed to the change, which is not
demanded by public sentiment, nor
founded upon any valid reason, If we
understand the matter, the mount was
discovered by Admiral Vancouver, the
distinguished explorer, and not by the
n z. Il. Co., and in the exercise of his
undoubted right of discovery, Vancouver
christened the mount Ranier,by which it
has become universally known through
the medium of the writer's pen and the
artist brush. The name is picturesque
and pleasing in sound, endeared by assO-

NEW THEATRE COMlQUE.
This popular place of amusement was filled
TO Overlooking last night, the attraction being
the famous Rentz-Santley Novelty and Bur
lesque Company. Tho show opens with the
which all the ladies appear attlred In full
evening dress, and was a magnificent scene,
being entirely different from anything ever
seen in Washington, the comedians, or what
is usually termed end men, In the capacity OF
servants Next came Mr.. Barney Reynolds,
an old favorIte, In his specialtes. He received
q perfect ovation. All the rest Of the company
followed In quick succession, giving moro
than satisfaction. Miss Lotta Elliott, as a
sRipping-rope dancer, certainly excels all In
her line Of business, her power OF endurance
minutes without stop. The programme
closes with an emotional burlesque, founded
on tho drama of the 'Banker's Daughter"
entitled the 'sDaughters Banker" 1t is a
scathing bit of satire, and the familiar situa.
lions of the famous work from which 1t is
taken are made extremely ridiculous. The
characters were all well sustained.

Frank Byrne and sheridan.

Adispatch from London, dated yesterday,
says: "The Frank B"rne residing at Cannes
is tho man mentioned by Carey. The French
police have been communicated with In order
TO prevent his escaping into Spain. 1t is
thought probable that he will return fmme-
dintely to London and give the authorities an
opportunity OF arresting him, II they 80 de-
sire, and, II not arrested, that he VIII assist in
his wifos defense. She is consumptive.
"It Is stated that the name of Number L Is
Oliver.
'AIr. Justin Mccarthy, In an interview TO-.
day, said that Sheridan was known to MIR. Par
nell merely as an active league organizer, and
that his relations with Mr.. .Parneu were only In
this capacity, the latter knowing nothing of
his character. Frank Byrne, Mr.. Mccarthy
said, Is a man in constant ill-health. He has
held position In the Land Confederation ever
since the time of Butt and Shaw.
'He was known to all the members of tho
Irish party, with whom he was In constant In
tcrcourse, as quiet, respectable man. Mr..
Mccarthy said he had spoken TO many men,
bers during the day, and all agreed that 1t
was incOnceivable that Byrne could have had
anything to do with the murders His last act
before going to France was 70 refuse u testl-
monial which his friends had raised on ac.
count OF his feeble health. He said he could
not accept anything while the country was In
lis present miserable state. The only time
when Byrne was left any discretion was while
Mr.. Parnell was imprisoned but 1t was hardly
conceivable that he then listened to any ad-
vances on the part of the fanatics"
