Changes I'm Partisan Habits.

1t is curious to remark how greatly Paris
ian habits have changed within even the past
few years, and that, too, not little owing to
Anglomania. Outdoor exercise is all the rage
nowadays, particularly riding and driving,
and from to II in the morning the Bots de
Boulogne is the rendezvous of the prancers
and piatfeuses, who, after their morning tob
(Anglice, tub) take drive in their boguet
(Anglice, buggy or in their speedair, which
we pronounce spider. But that is a detail
The grave thing is that these gentlemen and
ladies ''very selected" get up early and go to
do not go to the theatre so much as formerly,
and, above all, they do not care any longer
about first nights. For that matter the mana
gers of the fashionable theatres are now much
exercised to know how to arrange their pro-
grammes, for the Partisan dinner hour is get
ting later and later and the bed hour earlier
and earlier. At home few people dine before
7:30; at dinner parties one does not sit down
to table much before o'clock; what time re-
mains for the theatre? Either one must dine
exceptionally early or else arrive in the mid
die of the fourth act. At the Opera things
are managed better. By tacit agreement
some old opera is performed for the benefit
of the foreigners and country cousins, and
then toward IL o'clock the ballet begins for
the benefit of the subscribers, who drop in
about that hour, and many of whom have
never heard the overture or even the first two
acts of any opera of the repertory Nor are
they any prouder or happier on that account.
But still this state of affairs is unsatisfactory
and the theatrical managers feel uneasy in
consequence.-ParisC Cor London World

The Boy and the Elephant.

Many years ago one of the most famous
elephants that travelled in this country was
Old Columbus. During one of his summer
trips through Virginia he stopped at the
town of D. In the neighboring town of
H a boy, Familiarity called Dave and
notorious for leadership in all kinds of mis-
chievous tricks, determined to show off before
the other boys at Old Columbus expense
and invited several of his companions to go
with him.
Having come to the elephants stable Dave
gave him first candy, then cake, and then
finally cried: ''Now boystn and slipped a
piece of tobacco in his proboscis, intending to
get out of danger and enjoy Old Columbus
disgust and anger.
But before he could move Columbus seized
him and whirled him upward through the
opening overhead against the roof of the
stable.
Unhurt by his unexpected rise Dave
dropped on the hay NOW. The other boys
below, supposing this to be the trick prom
ised them, cried out in admiration:
''Dave, Dave, do that again!"
Dave, comfortably seated out of harms
way, very earnestly answered:

day."-Youth's Companion.

The center of the safe painting trade is in this

Zone man in particular was an artist of
recognized ability. His studio up town was
one of the finest in the city. Rich draperies
and costly bric-a-brac were on every hand.
The floor was inlaid with choice woods, and
valuable specimens of his handiwork greeted
the visitor from the walls A tropical sun

from the ceiling. This man got good start
from his father and, as l remarked, his abil-
ity was recognized; but it didn't pan out in
cash. When he found a customer for $500
painting he lived in clover, and when the art
mart was drugged and pictures went slow he
found it hard work to make both ends meet.

One of the Most Elegant Bar Outfits to

Those who have ever visited the SAM

bar, mirrors, sideboard, showcase,
screens and other appurtenances con-
tanned therein, are convinced that they
are the finest and most complete west

is expressed if any sample room in the
Lake City equals them, and yet the en-
tire outfit is to be sold prior to Feb. in
order to vacate the premises on that
date. The bar is twenty-fOur feet long
and made of solid mahogany, the upper
part being single piece OF this expen-
sive wood. without crack or blemlsh,
while the front is laid off in panels COW

Gus designs. The inner part of the bar
is treated in the same artistic manner,
and contains every convenience per-

is the largest and most expensive one of
the kind in the country, being divided
into one central plate glass. 96x120

side of 72X96 inches, making total
glass area of 2,112 square inches, and
the entire surface is surrounded by a

THE CITY WILL GET 1T.
The Acquired Islanu Property
Will Not Be Private bonanza

1t seems that w. W. Eastman is likely
to be worsted in his Nicolet island
scheme after all. Some months ago he
began dumping dirt along the east shore
and running ground out to the waters
edge. He followed this up with prop
OSitiOn to make a donation to the city,
which stirred up the islanders in rare
degree. The plan at first seemed very
munificent, but upon investigation it
was aScertained that it was really bO-
nanZa for Mr.. Eastman. The new
land has been formed by the
gradual change in the river course
and really belongs to the gov
eminent. The islanders quietly got to
work and with E. NJ. Wilson drew up
neapOlis. Mayor Ames approved the
bill and Congressman Edmund Rice in
trOduced it in congress Monday. There
is no reasonable doubt Of its passage,
and in that case island property will be
greatly improved. A fine wide street
and park on the river will take the
place of the present rather unsightly
appearance now presented. The land
to be coded is described as follows:
All those pieces and strips of land ~
ing between the original government
line as high water mark and the waters
OF the Mississippi river. including those
lands which have been made by accre-
ton thereto, the grant made by this act
being REIMBURSEMENT only of the rights
of the United States in and to said
premises, and to forever remain subject
to the government right to require said
tracts to be removed, if ever deemed ex-
pedient to do so. for improvements of
navigation of the river, the patent to
issue through the general land office as
in other cases."

But the North Side Improvement
Association BOoms Merrily.
There is an association in the pre-
cincts of the Third and Tenth wards
known as the ''North Side Improvement
association" Its name explains why
it was organized and the reason of its
further existence. Like many larger
and more famous associations it
has its inward disturbances that
make things painful and unpleasant.
For some reasons best known to them
selves the aldermen of these two wards
have so far kept haughtily away from
all the meetings. There were some, last
night, uncharltable enough to hint the
reason was the civic officers wished to
ing up the 50-cent fee, and this econ
omical idea was nipped in the bud
by the other members, who had not
SO far attained to the dignities
and emoluments of seat In the coun-
Gil. However this may be, meeting
was held last night by the members of
the association in Hunts hall, Plymouth
avenue, Capt. Bernard Hunt presiding,
and the matter of the aldermen was dis
cussed. 1t was finally resolved that a
committee consisting of Egbert COwles,
w. G. Mcknight and Matt Schulenberg
should call on those gentlemen
with the information they would
be made honorary members, that the
whole workings of the organization
would be explained, and that politics
had nothing whatever to do with the
case. A laugh was raised by some one
calling out ''be sure and get your so

THE LABOR CANDIDATE
For the Police Commission---Ald
Dwyer'S Strong EXPLANATION.

L OF the fOi1ce COtlm1SS1On---AlU
Dryers Strong Explanation.
A few days ago, when there was talk
in certain circles of a wOrkingman'
candidate for police commissioner, the
GLOBE took occasion to remark that the
scheme, as then rumOred, savored of
Republican parentage. Several little
papers saw fit to toady to the labor ele-
opposing it. Aid. L. 2. Dwyer, who
originated the talk. explains 1t and
shows how he was miSconStrued and
how the scheme" idea got its start.
Said he:
II offered my vote and assistance to
j. P. McGaughey for the police COM
mission, and he declined, as he stated
that he had all arrangements made for
a change localities, l presume). l did
SO because | learned that he had been
out of emp loyment, and it was the only
way in which l could help him. 1t was
voluntary on my part, as L take
much delight in elevating those who
have been blackballed by steam OF
street railway companies, to a position
where they can look down upon their
enemies. But it is lie that 1 asked
him to be the wOrkingmen's candidate.
nav HO aueHoiitS w wv 81. IL 10 q llO
that six Democratic aldermen asked him
to become candidate. l simply re-
marked, some time previous, when dis
cussing the matter, that there were six
of the Democratic aldermen K. of l..
men. 1t is a lie that any OvertureS have
been made to leading wOrkingmen to
have them name candidate. The re-
sponsibility should rest where it be-
longs, on my shoulders, and if any man
in K. of l.. headquarters has been so
mean and suspicious as to construe my
motives to be either individual or party
political gains, then l must certainly
apply the old saying, Evil thinkers are
evil duerS.'"
