VETERAN FIREMEN.
Their Entertainment and Banquet
 Last Night-Many old Bremen Pres

The entertainment and banquet for which theVeteran Bremen have been making prepa- rations for some time past took place at their rooms in the Insurance building last night, and was enjoyed by large party despite the stormy weather. The quarters presented an attractive appearance. Upon the walls hung pictures of many of the old iremen of this and other cities, fire scenes, pictures ot the old engine houses and fire apparatus, and other pictures dear to the hearts of the vet erans. At intervals about the room were shields upon which were inscribed the names of the old hand engines, and above these en- American flag was hung at the front of the room, about which were placed many potted flowers, the whole presenting pleasing picture.
 Mr. G. w. Stoddard toastmaster for the occasion, made few remarks, after which Professor Merwin rendered some selections on the piano. Hr. Henry L. Clark, of "Em- pire 5,'' made short address of welcome. The stormy weather deterred ex-Chief Hiram Camp from being present. Toasts were re- sponded to by ex-Assistant Engineer Charles D. Hayes, John w. Leeds, David A. Thomas, B. J. Douglass, A. R. Goodnow, Chief En- S1ne0T H. IaOdIS, ooHu A. Munson ot No. ,, J. W. Kinney of Mo- 4, Louis Le Bars of No. 5, William W. King of No. 6, J. w. Walters of Hook and Ladder No. 1.
 Mr. George L. Ives read an original poem which proved to be very comical. The poem contained ''hits' on the members of the as- sociation and called forth much laughter. During the evening MT. John H. Leeds was presented with beautiful cake made by the wife of one of the veterans. This act caused Mr. Leeds to give narl ation of an event which occurred while he was travelling in Asia, and where after days journey and night coming on he was forced to ac- cept the Inequalities of tribe of Mohamme- dans. MT. Leeds story was listened to with marked attention by the audience. After the exercises most bountiful repast was served. It was, indeed, most pleasant affair, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. On next Thursday night the E'vets" will again turn out and take part in the grand annual ball. From present in dications the ball will surpass any ever giv- en by the association, already over four hundred tickets have been sold.

CUPID AND HIS FRANKS.

AN ID HIS SAN kASs Senator Jones' Love Affair And
 Another Young Mans Hnfatuatfon
 Interesting Society At The Capi-
 tai.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Washington is interested in two love affairs which have re- gently com z to light. There is no denying that Senator Jones, of Florida, is in bad way and his friends doubt his ability to break loose from his infatuation for young lady in Detroit whom it is alleged he has seen but twice. Indeed some of the Sena- tors most intimate friends are greatly exer- cised over his case and fear that unless some thing is done very soon to induce him to re- turn to Washington that the result will be serious.
 The second case is that of 8 prominent New York society man who is charged by local paper with having visited the capital and spent 8 week attempting to win the af- factions of noted New York belle. Wheth- CT the young man in question accomplishes the apparently hard task of winning the hand of the young lady is the interesting point in the case, as certain southern mem Der of Congress is also great admirer of the lady and has recently paid her marked at tention

A SENSATION AT PARIS.
M. Clemenceau Made a Mark For a
 Omcer3S RuIIet.

M. Clemeneeau Made a Mark For an
 OAicer's Bullet.
 PARIS. Feb. 25.-A new kind of sensation was made in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon. A strange man in one of the gal leries arose exeitedly, drew revolver, fired it twice with downward aim and then coolly threw a letter toward M Clemenceau The man was quickly seized and hurried out by the police. When the excitement had sub sided a fattened bullet was found at the feet of the president of the Chamber The prisoner said he was soldier who had been so i'll treated by his superiors and ig norsd by the officers of justice that he re- sorted to the desperate expedient of creating the sensation in the Chamber of Deputies in order to secure attention to his grievances. The prisoner gave his name as Poirier and said he was an officer in the French army. He asserted that the letter which he threw toward M Clemenceau contained an offer to give to the government the names of the betrayers of Metz. The excitement caused by the shoot ing lasted a long time and affected the Depu- ties as much as it did the occupants of the galleries. When the man who fired the shots was first seized he exclaimed: ''I have written to M. Clemenceau. He knows what it means" This, of course, was not under stood by those who heard it, and but added to the general consternation. Investigation showed that both bullets were fired into the air, and not at any person on the floor occu pied by the Deputies The letter whichs the prisoner cast at NJ. Clemenceau wa found and delivered into the custody of M. Floquet president of the Chamber.

as they please. I state here and now as my conviction that if these gentlemen respected the constitution as they say they would not have control of this chamber. If they repre- sented the constitution instead of ballot box stufing and shotguns they would not have control of the executive of the nation.'' Mir Henderson in closing continued: 'I desire to say that I sincerely trust that no gentlemen, especially those who are in the ranks against me, misinterpret me, for I would rather spend an eternity in hell with Confederate than an eternity in heaven with northern copperhead."
 Mir. Randall said his experience had shown that the southern element had developed full heart to pension Union soldiers or their widows.
 The discussion drifted into the old groove as to whether the Democratic party was sin cere in its professions of economy. Pending action the committee rose. The debate was marked by some excitement. The chairman had difficulty in keeping order. At times the voices of the speakers were drowned in applause and laughter.

BISMARCK AND THE CLERICALS. A Scheme For a Union That Has Not
 Yet NTatured.


 LONDON, Feb. 25.-The debate yesterday in the Prussian diet on the educationa! bill revealed the fact that the clerisals have not made up their minds to act with the govern ment despite the tempting bait thrown out by the proposed modification of the May laws. The impression is confirmed that Herr Windthorst has succeeded in convincing the Vatican that the repeal of the portions of these laws included in the governments bill on the subject would not materially strength en the position of the Catholic clergy in re- gard to religious education. Windthorst in sisted upon total abrogation of the Falk laws as a condition precedent to abandoning the long continued clerical policy of blocking Bismarck's schemes of general legislation. He will, it is said, cause to be proposed an amendment to the governments bill when it reaches the proper stage and raise the square issue with the chancellor on making the re- peal of the obnoxious laws absolute. It is believed that this movement will succeed, as the support of the clericals is necessary for the successful carrying out of Prince Bis narcks designs for the internal economy of the empire.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. Gladstone Said To Have Gone Over
 To Secretary Morley,s View.
 LONDON Feb 25.-The result of to-day's Cabinet meeting has not become officially known, but it is rumored that MT. Gladstone succeeded in obtaining assent to definite plan for the Irish policy of the governmenA including the modified land laws, abolition of coercion and ultimate local government Mir. Chamberlain alone expressed his views in opposition to home rule. It is thought likely that he will retire from the ministry. There has been good deal of comment in political and social circles for few days past upon the growing influence of MT. Morley in secretary for Ireland has gained complete as- cendancy over MT. Gladstone, who seems to be fascinated by his new colleagues brilliant yet practical methods in statesmanship. This is not confined to the domain of the Irish problem alone. MT. Gladstone's action in the Greek question, which has caused some surprise by it's deviation from what was pected of him, is attributed to the new influ- ence. The Times refers to the governments policy as unexpectedly vigorous, and this ex- presses the general view.
 Medals For The Canadian Volunteers.
 LONDON, Feb 25.-In the House of Com mons this evening the committee of supply reported favorably resolution granting f1 200 for medals to be distributed among the Canadian volunteers who served in the campaign of the rebellion of Louis Riel. Mr. Hea1ey opposed the grant and said if Canada chose to make war upon Riel she ought to pay for the medals given to her troops taking part in the war. MT. William Henry Smith, late secretary for war, and Lord Randolph Churchill denounced MT. Healey and praised the bravery and patriot ism of the Canadian volunteers without the resolution on the ground that it's adop- tion would create i'll feeling, but it was pass ad 20Q tn RR
