THE FRENCH SITUATION.
The LEFT" Intend to Abolish Recog-
nition of Hereditary Titles,

Dition of Hereditary Titles.
LONDON, June Cit is stated that the
movers of the Left intend to introducein
the French Chamber of Deputies, as
test measure, bill forbidding any fur
ther recognition in journals or official
documents of hereditary titles.
To be sure, it seems trifle anomalous,
the constant recurrence of the names of
princes, dukes and co ants in the reports
of assemblies, marriages and christen-
ings, under Republican regime, but, as
it is in many cases, the only claim TO con-
sideration which the bearer possesses it
would appear rather hard to deprive the
decayed sprigs of nobility of the only
insignia OF superiority over the vulgar
herd which they are ever likely to own.
Indeed English noblemen have been
known TO sink their titles, who are una
BILE to support them in proper manner,
but such an idea would never enter the
gallic mind, particularly while the sup
ply of American heirs holds out as 1t
does now,
1t would Of course be possible to re-
press the use of anything but proper
names in legal documents Of all kinds,
and even to bury O lifelong marquis or
count under plebeian designat ion, but it
will be found difficult to prevent the
SOien or Gduiois from referring to the OBJ
iects of their admiration under any other
cognomens than those which they have
always employed. 1t is likely that the
surrounding nations, despite the solicitous
editorials which grace these journals, are
all displeased to witness the display of
intense .radicalism in France The more
open the manifestations of internal dis
sensions the less likelihood that the Re-
public will urge any quarrels be"ond her
borders.
Any snubbing of the mushroom nobil-
ity of the latter Empire or the descendants
of the old family will be witnessed with
supreme resignation by the upper classes
of Italy, Germany and England.

FOR
PARTICULAR
PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take q meal sack and make
a suit Of clothes worthy Of a gentle
mans wearing if the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points of suit are fit and style. Ma
tefial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
if there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock Of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals Of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness Of making,
and, above all, with the wit of the
clothier-his Misunderstanding at
its brightest, in the tone Of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tlnctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices OF ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average of custom work when you
see them.

IN SOCIAL MEETING.
The CIergymen of the Washington
Episcopal Convention.

The Washington Convocation OF the p.
Il. Church met this morning at Christ
Church at 1890 O'clock. The convoca-
ton was presided over by the dean, Rev.
DR.. Thomas Addison. The opening sefv.
ices were of devotional nature, and
after the services business meeting was
held, at which church affairs were dis
cussed and the work of the various par
ishes represented as in flour1shing con-
dition. The object of these meetings is
to bring together the different ministers
of the diocese in a social way and to
stimulate the work of the church. After
the discussion of the church affairs the
convocation adjourned, and a lunch was
served at o clock to the visiting clergy
men in Linthicum Institute Hall. About
20 ministers were present, and they rep
resented Washington and the lower coun-
ties of Maryland. Tonight missionary
service will be held at 8 o'clock, after
which the convention will adjourn.

MIR. HoRNADAY's NEW PET.
A Young Grizzly Added to the Zoo
logical Collection.


The latest acquisition to the Zoo at the
Smithsonian is what is considered by Mr..
Hornaday a very valuable specimen of
the grizzly bear. lie is what is known as
the silver-tipped grizzly, considered by
some species entirely distinct from the
ordinary brown grizzly.
His age is uncertain but cannot be
more than few months. Already he is
quite pet with the ladies and children,
and attracts great deal of attention by
his quaint and attractive airs. A large
head, forming third of his entire body,
is ornamented with pair of sharp, glls-
tening black eyes, that snap mischievously
when finger is placed too near his nose.
Although not larger than an ordinary
dog he gave the attendant In charge as
much as he wanted to attend to when he
was transferred from his travelling box
to his cage. This. bear was cap
tured by the Indians of the Grow
reservation and forwarded to the Smith
sonian by r. T. Allen of Billings, Mon.
1--WE expect to settle widely disputed
point with this grizzly" said Mr.. Horn
aday. "That is, regarding the difference
in the two kinds of grizzlies. We have
already found that the cinnamon bear
has gradually grown darker since We have
. had him. Some maintain that the Gin
namon and black bear are the same. This
/ disbelieve, and by keeping these speci-
mems on hand we can settle these
pointsu

A Disastrous VOYAGE.

SAN Francisco, CAL, June 0.--The Brit

NEW YoRK, June 6--Flre was discov-
cred about o'clock this morning in Tony
Pastors theatre, which is located in the
Tammany Society's building, Fourteenth
street. between Third avenue and Irving
place. The flames spread with great ra-
pidity, and three alarms and several
special calls were sent out. The building
after nearly two hours hard work the fire
was fully controlled.
The whole inside of the Tammany
building, together with the interior of the
theatre, was gutted. The chief damage
was done in the rear toward the Fifteenth
street end. The loss will not fall short of
$4,000. How the fire originated is still

The Treasury Bug Problem.

Chief Clerk Youmans of the Treasury
has not yet definitely settled the "bug
question" He is daily receiving letters
from persons throughout the country
giving advice in regard to clearing the
Department of the insects. A Baltimore
lady sent sample of q red wafer which
she claims will paralyze the insects if
eaten by them. A miller at Indepen-
dence, Ohio, suggests a novel method for
their determination. He says that good
perfumery, when sponged literally over
the articles on which the bugs prey, will

have like effect. The miller. gives this
advice gratis, "because he don't want TO
hear ofany bugs being on this Admins
tration if he can help it,"

UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.
Objections TO the Purchase OF an Ann
bulance for Horses.

Objections to the Purchase OF an AM
bulance for Horses.
In regard to the appropriation recently
proposed by Senator Palmer providing
5000 for the purchase Of an ambulance
for injured or sick horses, it has been OBJ
iected that such work has never been
done by city governments but always by
humane societies or private persons. 1t
would cost for horses and harness 800
more and the cost of maintaining the
equipment would be $50 or so month.
Occasion for the use of an ambulance is
rare. A veterinary surgeon in the city
has ordered an ambulance and this he is
willing to allow the city to use at a small
charge. The cost to the city as compared
with the expense of maintaining its own
ambulance would be too small to be con-
sdered. Money is needed more in the
Police and Fire departments than for an
ambulance for animals.
