Six Hundred Skeletons in the Roof.
st. James Gazette

Since the annexation of Nice to France
in 1880 the former Dominican church has
been used as a military bakery. A few
days ago it became necessary to examine
the roof, and the architect was Mortified to
find in the garrett about 600 skeletons
flung pelemele. Medical experts declare
that they must have been buried at least
three or four centuries ago. It appears
that when Nice was occupied by the
French in 1892. the monks were expelled
from the building, and the church of st.
Dominick was converted into a national
bakery; 1t is supposed that in carrying
out the Transformation the graves in the
floor of the church were emptied of their
contents, which were transferred to the
garrett and flung there in heaps. Most of
the persons inferred in that church must
must have been members of noble fami
lies of Provence or the neighboring dis
tricts, who possessed the privilege of
place of interment within the church
forever" The majority of the skeletons
were women; probably among them was
the skeleton of a Duchess of Savoy who
is buried in that church. All these re-
mains have been buried in one of
the cemeteries of the town.

It appears that the effort which broke
out last season to protect wild birds by
banishing them from bOnnets has not &C
complished the hoped-for end. The un-
happy fashion is returning, because mil
liners and dealers in bird-skins having
their stocks on their hands are trying to
bring them again into favor. The wave
of indignation and disgust the terrible
slaughter excited has passed away, for
autumn millinery again wears the corpses
of the little innocents with cruel and IN
blushing effrontery. It ought to give a
woman pang, thoughtless and hard
hearted as she may be, to see wing or a
bird used as an ornament. Shame on any
intelligent woman who can, in the face
of all that has been said, still permit her.
solf to wear this evidence of cruelty! II
stamps her at once as not only lacking in
good feeling but in good taste, and a per
son who either cannot read or is too fa1
out of the ''swim'' to know what decent
people are thinking and doing.

Colorado.

The election of Adams Dem for COVER
nor by plurality of 1000 is conceded by
the republicans. ALI but six counties in the
state have been heard from, giving the
returns on the congressman about even.
The counties yet to come in always have
been democratic, SO the indications are
in favor of a small majority for Reed
(Dem.). The democrats of Arahoe coun-
ty elect six and possibly seven out of
eight representatives and one senator.
This is an increase of seven in the lower
house and one in the senate. The legis-
lature and senatorial tickets and maj lori
ty of the other counties were carried by
the democrats, SO that there is little
doubt that they will have control of the
lower house of the general assembly and
possibly of the senate. The remainder
of the state ticket, except the state sec.
rotary, auditor and possibly attorney gen
eral, are claimed by the democrats.

Illinois.

This state elects republican legisla-
ture by about the usual majority. William
Il. Morrison was defeated for congress
in his district, and several contests will
be made in other districts. Elijah
Haines, ex-speaker of the house was also
defeated in his district.
Col. Morrison does not entertain the
idea that the cause of tariff reform has
received setback by reason of MS de-
feat and that of Mr.. Hurd, or Mr. Carl
isles close call. To the question if the
results would bear that interpreted
ton he replied: ooh, no, not at ALL Our
cause is growing right along, we have
lost no strength" To the inquiry wheth-
er any sentiment agonistic toward the ad-
ministration had had bearing on the
result, Col. Morrison said: ''No, think
not. These are hard times. There is
some feeling that the change of admin
istration has not been followed by that
effect on business and by such revival
of good times as was anticipated. This
feeling, what there was of it, produced
some apathy among democrats, perhaps,
but [ did not discover any auti-admis-
tration sentiment based upon any speci-
fc objection to the course of the presi
dent.

The row between Mrs. Mackay, the bon
ANA queen, and Mrs. Paren Stevens, th
New York society leader, in England few
monts age, has caused so much talk that
the Graphic is moved to give the facts in
the case:
$50 many versions have been given of
estrangement between Mrs. Mackay and
Mrs Paren Stevens-a maelstrome into
which Mrs. Potter was inVoluztarily
drawn-that the Chatterer feels prompted
even at this late day to state the exact
facts. Mrs. Potter was the guest of Mrs.
Mackav. at Cowes, when the latter lady
gave her memorable reception to Britain's
heir apparent. Mrs. Paren Stevens desir-
ed invitations for herself and daughter
to the festivities graced by His Reyal
Highness, but was promptly refused.
She few in passion, and it is said not
only declared that she would procure
cards through pressure from the highest
quarters, but that she would afterward
Danish the hostess of the occasion from
the upper crust of society.
In due time the Prince of Wales did
suggest the sending of cards to Mrs.
Stevens, whereupon Mrs. Mackay quietly
informed him that upon previous oc
cassion when she had extended an INVITA-
ton to Mrs Stevens, that lady not only
did not accept, but did not even nave the
courtesy to respond. Nevertheless II
the Prince wished she would defer to MS
pleasure etc.
Not under any consideration, was the
response. -,
Mrs. Stevens was left out IN the cold.
Hence the subsequent cold wave with hot
flashes.
