Chean Rsfreshmsnt in Paris,

Paris is trying an experiment which has long ago been found to answer ill Italy. On one of the boulevards a new establishment has been opened for the personal comfort of Parfsians. You can wash your hands, have your clothes brushed, your boots cleaned. You can write your letters. Paper, pens, ink, etc, are at your disposal. In one room are all the newspapers not merely of Paris and the provinces, but of all the great conti- mental capitals. A third room is devoted to works of reference, encyclopedias, diction- aries and directories. There are a telephone and postoffice, and all this is open to any passerby who pays half a franc admission.
 The Italian idea did not go quite so far, but in some respects it was more useful It was not privats speculation. but a govern ment concern. In fact, it was part of the working of the postal system of the country. You paid penny entrance fee and found all the means of writing and all the information you might need at hand You buy paper at cost price and have the use of writing ma terials gratuitously. The French institution Is a speculation, and if the building just opeued on the Boulevard Montmartre succeed no doubt we shall see others established all oyer the capital. Pal Mail Gazette

THE MOST PLEASING INCIDENT.

Emperor William Delighted with His
 Visit to Pompeil.
 NAPLES, Oct i9.-Emperor William wis ited Pompeii yesterday. He was intensely interested in all he saw in the buried city, especially in some excavations which were made in his presence. Several valuable bronze objects were unearthed which the emperor accepted as souvenirs of his visit, He was greatly pleased, and in leaving said 'This is the most pleasing incident of my tour"
 The emperor took his departure at an early hour last evening for Rome on the royal train amid the warmest acclamations of the populace assembled in great crowds around the station, as the imperial guest departs this afternoon for Berlin. HIS visit has been suspicious, and he leaves and takes nothing but happy memories.
 ROME, Oct. 19.-Their majesties arrived here in the evening and were received with undiminished enthusiasm. The emperor drove through the city viewing the illumina- tions The sight from the Pincian hill was superb St. Peter's and the vatican, how ever, were conspicuously dark amid the blaze of light in other quarters of the city.

If,fented Strikers Making the Best of

 CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-With the exception oi an occasional personal encounter between the new and old men of the North Chicago Street Railroad company quiet now prevails, ard it is not thought that there will be any further strike. The old employees are begin ming to accept the situation with the best possible grace, though a number of them have turned ill their badges and left the ser vices of the company, feeling there is nc chance for them to make living wages The new men are said to be giving satisfaction. Their cars are still being run with policemen in charge to see that no attacks are made on them, while the men are boarded at the vari- ous car barns from which they run, so as tc prevent them being nolested by the former strikers in going to and from their work There has been great pressure brought to bear upon the management to have these men turned off and all old men reinstated, but the company has refused to accede to such request. It is said that much feeling is expressed by tine old men against the leaders and labor agitators, who, they claim, got them into the trouble, and it is stated that many of them have withdrawn from the Knights of Labor

 Audience in an Opera House.
 PERU, Ind, Oct, 19,-What would have proven the greatest political demonstration in the history of Miami county was marrec yesterday by the oontrariness of the elements. 1rspite of the rain which commenced falling at midnight and continued without cessation all day, however, 25,0OO people from Miami, Blackford, Wabash, Hamilton, Cass, Fulton and Koscusko counties assembled to do honor to Hon. Allen G. Thurman. The rain, oi course, interfered with the barbecue, and thu visitors who arrived on the excursion traim found shelter in the residences of the citizens, which were freely thrown open. Judge Thurman and party arrived from Fort Wayne at 1 o'clock and were driven at once to the Opera house, where an audience of $500 was awaiting his arrival, while hundreds more blockaded the doors unable to gain admit tance The old Roman was introduced annie great applause by Judge Mitchell, and spoke in his usual vein.
