NEW YORK. Dec. 2I.-The SUMS mid
week echoes for tomorrow will contain
the following bit of news: San interest
ing lawsuit seems to be pending between
Mr.. w. II. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Frank
Work. The animosity between these gen.
tlemen is of long standing. The two vete-
rams never speak to each other, and in
variably try to throw mud and dust upon
each other whenever they happen to meet
during their afternoon drives. 1t appears
that Vanderbilt recently found among the
papers of his father a $1,000 i. o. u. OF
Frank Works. He Immediately gave an
order to Chauncey Depew to sue Frank
Work for the principal and interest.
Frank Work, however, discovered among
his papers a check indorsed by the late
Commodore, and proving that the debt
had been paid long ago, and he is now
bringing an action against Vanderbilt for
attempting to extort money from him to
hurt his credit"

suits and threadbare Prince Alberts

the books from the shelves of the elegant
library, poked the blazing logs on the
andirons in the private parIors, and
wandered at will through the richlv-fur-
nished bedchambers. They handled rare
and costly specimens of China and bric-a-

quisitively over the photographs and
visiting cards, and commented on the col
lection of family relics in the sealed glass

furnished all who desired with printed

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The Governor of
French Cochin China reports that the
Council of the Regency at Hue have noti-
fed him that Hiephema abdicated the
throne of AMMAN, and a new King, Is
years old, was crowned December un-
der the name of Kienphua. The Anna

to the French, then became the head of
the Council. The crisis lasted several
hours, during which the gates of the
citadel were closed, and Hue was
placed in state of siege.
When the gates were reopened the death
of Hiephemalwas announced. The country
was agitated and armed bands occupied
the suburbs of Hue. NJ. Champeaux, the
French resident at Hue, has since report
ed better situation of affairs. He adj
yises that strong pressure be exercised
on the Council at Hue and he refuses to
open relations with Kienphua until the
latter is recognized by France.

Queen WIGS Pensioners.

Robert LAIRD Collier az Chicago Tribune.
The Duke Of Edinburgh has Just been
appointed to the command of the s'Chan-
mel Squadron''-a very lucrative post in
the navy. and which is almost a sinecure.
This appointment has been made over the
heads Of several unemployed Admirals,
who are justified in resenting this quite
common nepOtism which characterizes
the wishes. and. as far as decency and
authorities will permit, the actions of the
Queen. All Her Majesty's sons are well
provided for, yet she is never satisfied
with their worldly prospects, but shOves
them into every vacant post where there
is money. IL is estimated that the Queen
saves annually from her Parliamentary
allowance alone $500. 600. She receives
annually S2,7j0,000. Her MajestY's per-
sonal wealth is said to be enormous, and
her investments are sources of constant
thought and care with her. NOtwithstand-
ing that the nation pays the Queen this
$500. 600 a year. she does not maintain her
own family out Of that sum, for we find
the following amounts voted from time to
time by Parliament at Her Majesty's
request: Crown Princess of Ger
many, $4,000; Prince of Wales, e4O,-
O0C; Princess of Wales, 100000;
Duke Of Edinburg, 200; Princess
Christian, $4,000: Marchioness of Lorne,
$4,000; Duke Of COnnaught, e25,000; Duke
Of Albany. 925, 600; Duchess of Cam
bridge, $4,000; Duchess of Mecklenburg-
StrelitZ, $4,000; Duke of Cambridge, e12,-
600; Princess Mary of Teck, $4,000. Be
sides all these figures there are ''royal
perQuisites' that amount to vast sums,
such as the $3.50, 600 the Prince of Wales
receives annually from the Duchy of
Cornwall. However, according to the
glorious British constitution, royalty can
do no wrong, and they who hold to the
divine sanction of royalty must pay well
those who hold its credentials.

The walls are treated few shades darker

background for pictures. The ceiling is
a delicate blue, with an intricate stencil
ing of silver and kindred tints running
over it. Immediately back of this is the
dining-room, in mahogany and olive. The

Women Excluded from the Italian Bar

\ judgment has been given in an inter-
esting case before the Court of Appeals at
Turin. Miss Lydia Poet, who has obtain
ed a doctors degree in law, was refused
admittance to the roll Of advocates for
reasons among which the following are
the most interesting and amusing:
1.-The Italian law has made no dispOsi-
tiOn expressly cOnsenting to the exercise
Of the profession of an advocate by wO-
men, and il has always regarded that
profession as exclusively appertaining to
men. The admission of women would
be extraordinary, and contrary to Gus
tom, and is besides expressly forbidden
by an article of common law (article
quoted). 1t would be a displeasing
sight TO see woman pleading
amid the tumult of a public court,
and even sometimes obliged to treat
ex-prOfessO questions that common
decency fOrbids even men to discuss in
the presence of honest women. The sight
of the t0ga worn over the strange and
whimsical dress which fashion often i'm
poses upon women would imperil the
gravity of the Judges. Every time the
balance of justice leaned to the side OF
a prisoner defended by a pretty female
advocate the Judges would be exposed to
suspiciOn and calumny."
The Court of Appeals also held that that
was neither the time nor the place to dis
cUss the equality of women and their
right to exercise all professions and
offices hitherto occupied exclusively by
men.
