made q fortune in London by supplying the
public with hanson cabs. is about to push his
venture in Paris. He will place 800 cabs, drawn
by English horses, in the French capital The
chances seem 10 be that he will make hanson
profit from his enterprise.
john ROBE IT'S is one of the most eloquent and
enthusiastic of the home rulers. He is an ex-
ceent speaker and would be a valuable add-
ton to the liberal party if he could be induced
to enter the house. He prefers TO remain out
side Of parliament however. and does all OF his
work independent of party lines.
PROF HERMAN Of New York is entertaining
the pon1lace of the CITY of Mexico He has met
with great success. President Diaz. an old ac-
qlaIntauce, has been exceedingly gracious and
the professor may be said TO be in the tallest of
tall clover He has been for years great ia
vorte in the Mexican capital.
Mr. SrANHoPE the English minister of wa.
is said TO be- a kind hearted man, but very mar
row and precise and rigid in his Manners
regular prig. His brother, Mr.. Philip Stanhope
with whom Mr.. Gladstone stays when visiting
Wolverhampton is extremely unlike him in dis
position, being genial and frank and very liberal
in his political opinions.
THE King of Wurtemburg who Is creating a
sensation in Europe by the honors he has be-
slowed on his three American favortes. is half
dementCd old gentleman His favorite amllse-
ment consists in Harvesting cockcbafers to lit
tie paper wagons and then driving them with
feverish excitement over a big table while his
secret court councillors ana others Keep them
from falling Off the edge.
KING MILAN of Servia is an impecunous DO
tentate who would be wise to make himself less
conspicuous than he has been Of late. His ex-
tended visit to the baths of Gleichenburg has
set tongues wagging in Vienna. and il is rumored
that he has been detained at the baths for debt.
He is now without money credit. and how he
is to pay alimony TO his divorced wife is a con
undrum. Mian's ling passion is for games of
chance. and he would pawn anything he pos
sessed for the sake Of gambling.
JOSEPH JEFFERSON the comedian, his wife,
her sister, and his lively son, Tommy, formed
curious party at the exposition the other day,
says the Chicago Herald. The exhibitors never
had more attentive and appreciative group
before their works and wares. Mr.. jefferson
and his son showed a great interest in the fish
tanks, and spent neary an hour in watching
the sportive specimens of the finny tribe Both
are great anglers, and they knew the names OF
every fish without having to look at the cards
on the tanks.
FISHER UNwIN the London publisher, 10 tall
and aristocratcslly slim, but his great feature
is his beard, which is Aaronc in length IL not
in grayness. II was an exquisite conceit OF one
OF his friends (and he has many to suggest that
q sort OF Oriel window should be cut in this
beard, so that the now yelled glories OF his re-
splendent tie should be visible TO the world at
large. Mr. Uuwin is a bachelor. He comes of
an old and respected Nonconformist family, and
combines in his own person the sturdiness OF
dissent with the sweetness Of the newer culture.
AN American who has Just returned from
Spain brings some interesting gossip concerning
the infant King Of that country. II seems that
His Miniature Majesty has but one great pas
sion, which is, strangely enough, Bologna saus-
age. Whenever he sees this unromantic edible
he can hardly be restrained. Stretching forth
his baby hand in an imperious way. he exclaims:
His Majesty wishes it," But his minister of
the interior takes care that His Majesty doesn't
get IL. Alfonso is extremely jealous Of his
mother and whenever they appear in public it
makes him angry TO have the people applaud
her. He has great bump of egotism, that
youngster.
