A Chicago Hotel Scene.

An elderly gentleman stepped up to the
hotel register, wrote his name and resi-
dence, and called for a room. The clerk
sized him up, and evidently taking him
for man of simple tastes, said: ''We are
a little crowded just now, but l can give
YOU an inside room on the fifth floor,
which will be pleasanter and somewhat
cheaper than apartments lower down,
with street frontage" SIT would, eh 2"

A VERY OLD WOMAN.
A French Peasant Who Is Said to b
1913 Years Old.

A French Peasant Who Is Said to be
1913 Years Old.
A woman named Marie Durand, born at
Neutrality-suspicious., in the Department
of the Ireve, France; ON March 16, 1851, is
1913 years old. The country about her home
is very mountainous and abounds in beau
tiful scenery. A great many tourists visit
it during the summer season. She is quite
an object of curiosity to them, as may be
imagined, and few who visit the ROyans
district fail to go and see the old lady,
during whose lifetime four royal houses,
two empires and three republics have
come and gone in France. Her skin, by
constant exposure and extreme age, has
become of a very dark brown hue and is
drawn over the bones like parchment, a
very network of wrinkles. Her food con-
sists entirely of vegetables, with horri-
BILE species of fritter made of flour and
oil. She is fond of glass of wine and &C.
casionally takes dram of brandy, which
is her universal panacea in case of sick
ness. She is wretchedly poor and lives
all alone in little matched cabin with
scarcely any furniture. Every afternoon
at 4 O'Clock she barricades her door
and goes to bed, where the peasants eX-
pect some morning to find her dead.

A Jersey that shows Her Form to Per-



lection.
All the world and his wife, says Olive
Logan, in her London letter, are talking
about Sarah Bernhardt's funny costume
for ssLady Macbeth Well, well, did you
ever? 1t took Sarah to think Of something
new, Of course. Imagine a jersey-a
sort Of abdominal jersey, If 1 may be
allowed the expression-an eel-skin
garment reaching from the neck
to-why, to the unanimously plait-
ed skirt, Of course, only the skirt be-
gins about foot and half lower than
skirts usually begin. and all the upper
part is unmitigated, unwrinkled jersey.
The result proves that Sarah-unless she
has resorted to the extreme measure OF
padding-is not such fleshless creature
as has been supposed. The jersey is en-
broidered with heraldic figures, and the
whole effect is maryelously odd. IT
anything would give her Lady Macbeth
a stamp it would be that Won
derful skin-ftting bodice. In
other ways Sarah shows her
eccentrieity. Where on earth do you sup
pose she is living during her London en-
gagement? Why, at the Star aud Garter,
at Richmond, if you please. She has got
a suite of rooms at the famed hosiery Of
Richmond Hill, her windows commanding
that peerless prospect which has formed
the theme of rapture for so many poetic
pens. Every day when the renowned
tragic artist sits upon the noble terrace
of the Star and Garter she looks upon the
scene Of which Thomson wrote:
D vale Of bliss! o softly swelling hills.
Heavens, what goOdly prospect spreads
around,
OF hills and dales and woods and lawns and
spires
And glittering towns and gilded streams.
1t must be really delightful to enjoy this
beautiful panorama at breakfast, dinner
and tea, but fancy the price the divine
satan pays for it, / do not mean the
price in pounds, shillings and pence,
though doubtless that is not a bagatelle,
but in exertion. She drives into town
about ten miles-every afternoon, and out
again after the performance at night.
Physically, this seemingly frail creature
must really be very strong.

that its lesson lies in its coming opportunities.

Mr.. Jarratt, the Pittsburg labor agi-
tator, was appointed and confirmed Com
missioner of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. The President, however, has de-
clined TO sign Mr.. Jarratt's commission,
for the reason, it Is said, that Mr.. Jarratt,
a couple of months ago, in labor har-
rangue. talked Of the President in very
disrespectful terms. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Jarratt said the President was dude;
that he owed his place to Guiteau, and
that he was better ftted to be a waiter at
Delmonico's than President. If that is
the sort of man Mr.. Jarratt is the Presi-
dent is right in Withholding his commits
sion. There are occasions when 1t doesn't
pay to play the part of demagOgue, and
Mr.. Jarratt will have that fact pressed
home upon him in way that he will not
soon forget if he ultimately fails to get
his commission. He has had talk with
the President, but has failed to impress
upon him that in his labor speech he spoke
of him only in a Pickwiekian sense

1t appears that the anti-monopolists are
not going to fight the Democrats as hard
as has been expected. Their organ, Jus
tice, in its issue of Thursday last, ex-
presses the opinion that there sno chance
of electing Butler even if he should run.
1t SAYS: at, therefore, behooyes anti
monopolists to see whether there is any
choice between Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Cleye-
land. If there is no third candidate
in the field Anti-MonOpOlists may
be obliged to support the
least Objectionable Of the two,
neither of whom they approve of, or lose
their votes. But it would be well to make
up their minds slowly and carefully, with
a view to the best of bad bargain" Be
fore the last Chicago Convention the
Anti-Monopolists would consider the
claims of nobody but Butler. Now, it
seems, they win probably support the
least Objectionable of the candidates OF
the Democratic and Republican parties.
1t is not necessary to suggest that their
choice can hardly be Blaine and Logan.
