Could he wished MIR. Gladstone Thinks
That the Position of the Pope Demands
Foreign Intervention.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The Rome corre-'
spondent of the Daily Ne'os says that
serious impediment has arisen in the
negotiations which NJ. Iswolsky, the
Russian envoy, is conducting with the
Vatican NJ. Iswolsky, the correspondent
says, complains of lack of full power
to act. He says that he is hampered by
the necessity of referring every little
detail to his own government
The extent of the emigration Of Aus
trian and Italian peasants to Brazil is at
tracing attention. One vessel leaving
Triesre to-day had 740 emigrants of this
class bound for San Paulo.
Prince Karageogevitch of Russia is

the pretender to the Servian throne.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the
Times says: Sir II. ID. Marier emphati-

the war of 1870 reported to any one,
either in public or in private life, any
expected movement of the German army,
for the simple reason that he never pos
sessed such information,

The Tablet says: Mr.. Gladstone, in
letter to the Marquis Derise, says that
the position of the Pope is important
enough to merit Intervention by intorna-
tional arbitration. After remarking that
he promoted the Alabama arbitration
scheme, Mr.. Gladstone adds that arbitra
ton would possibly unlock difficult

warm sympathy.
ROME, Dec. 2S--The newspapers of
Rome report that the Bey of Tunis has
issued decree ordering all foreign en-

THE LITTLE HIGH CHAIR.
A Sad Scene At One of the Auction Rooms
In Detroit.

In Detroit.
from the Detroit Free Press.
There was an auction at one Of the
downtown auction houses recently. A
pale, sad-faced woman, in plain calico
gown, stood in q crowd. The loud-voiced
auctioneer finally came to lot Of plain
and somewhat worn furniture. 1t had
belonged to the plain woman, and was
being sold to satisfy the mortgage on it.
One by ono the articles were sold, the
old bureau TO one, the easy rocker TO
another and be1stead to a third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out a
child's high-chair. II was old and rick
ETY., and as the auctioneer held it up
everybody laughed-everybody except
ing the pale-faced woman. a tear
trickled down her cheek The auctioueer
saw it, and somehow lump seemed to
come up in his throat, and his gruff
voice grew soft. He remembered o
little high chair at home, and how it had
once filled his life with sunshine.
1t was empty now. The baby laugh,
the two little hands that were once held
out TO greet papa" from that high.chair
were gone forever lie saw the pale
faced woman's piteous looks, and knew
what it meant, knew that in her eye the
little ricketty high-chair was more
precious than if it had been made Of
gold and studded with diamonds. In
imagination he could see the little
dimpled cherub which it once held,
could sec The chubby little fist grasping
the tin rattle-box and pounding the chair
full of hicks, could see the little feet
which had rubbed the paint off of the
legs; could hear the growing and laugh
ing in glee-and now, the little high
chair was empty.
He knew there was an aching void in
the pale.faced woman's heart; there was
in his own. Somehow the day may
come and 60, but you never get over It,.
There is no one to dress in the morning,
no one to put to bed at night Don't
laughp said the auctioneer, softly, rs
somebody facetiously offered ten cents;
many Of you have little empty high
! chairs at home which money would not
tempt you to part with" Then he
handed the clerk bill out of his own
! pocket, and remarked, "Sold TO the lady
right there" and as the pale faced
woman walked out with the little high
chair clasped in her arms, and tears
streaming down her checks the crowd
stood back respectfully, and there was
a suspicious moisture in the eyes of the
man who had bid ten cents.

RAINBOW TULLE.
A New stun. of Which Bail Dresses for
Buds Are Made.

From Letter 10 he Chicago NeUs.
There is a new stuff being sold in the
shops this season for the ball dresses Of
debutantes which is q pleasing change
from the everlasting illusion skirts and
white silk or satin bodice in which their
fresh and palpitating lovciness is in.
cased for most of the social functions of
their first winter The stuff is called
rainbow tulle and is being sold in great
quantities. 1t is the ordinary white IL
lusiou with heavy silk threads in rain
bow colors drawn through it at intervals
of abont an eighth Of an inch.
A bright blue thread, u red, yellow, q
lilac and green one, then there is a lit
tie space and the blue thread begins
again, and the whole series is repeated
The foundation is, of course, the usual
white silk skirt, over which are several
layers of tulle, and there are three ballet
skirts of the rainbow illusion. The bod.
ice is of white silk, if preferred, but
many make up with it bodice to match
some one of the rainbow threads in color
and have sash of the same. 1t is q
boon and blessing to the dark. pale
girls. to whom the dead whiteness of the
regulation debutante costume is very try.
ing.
1t has often been the case that a pale
girl has been failure at her first ball,
because the unrelieved colorlessness of
her dress made her look blank and dull,
and afterwards, in the richly-colored
gowns Of her second season, blossomed
out as a positive beauty. So this fabric
is having great vogue with girls of that
type, as it combines color and that deli
cacy and freshness which is requisite in
a debutante's gown.

Horace Vernet, .he artist, was going from

apartments with him were two ladies whom
he had never seen before, but who were evi-
IDENTIFY acquainted with him. They examined
him miIlutely, and commented freely on his
martial bearing, his hale old age, and the
style Of his dress etc. AS the train passed
through the tunnel of St Cloud the three
travellers were wrapped In complete darkness
Vernet raised the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed It twice violently On
emerging from the obscurity he found that the
ladies had withdrawn their attention from
him, and were accusing each other Of having
been kissed by man In the dark

Electric street Cars.


The advent OF electric street cars in Boston
inaugurates now system of power transmits
sion which has come to abide with us for the
future. When obicctors found that cars
could be moved by the electric current they
fell back 70 the next line Of defense-that it
was very costly. But, as matter OF fact, II
has been proved to be the most economical
method of power transmission that was ever
known. Then the objectors went into the
last ditch, and said that, though undoubtedly
cars could be run by electrical power, yet,
when they come TO encounter our Northern
winters-the snow on the tracks and ice on
the coudu etors-they could not be operated.
This has e,lso been disproved by the successful
operation Of electrical railways in Canada and
Wisconsin aud elsewhere during snow storms
and billiards compared with which our worst
winter forms are tame affairs.

PROTECT THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The news comes that force of Indian
scouts under Lieutenant McComb have
just visited Oklahoma station in the
Indian Territory and arrested all the
'invaders" of the vicinity and made
them hitch up their teams and go to the
scouts camp. We are not informed as to
the identity OF Lieutenant McComb,
whether he is United States officer or
not, but he is most probably acting solely
for the Indians, who do not want to see
their country invaded by the white set
tiers.
The Indians are entirely right in re-
sisting such invasion, and the United
States Government ought to give them
whatever aid they may stand in need Of
in the maintenance of their position.
Those strolliug, adventurous white in
vaders have no more right to go into the
Indian Territory and settle down on the
land Of that country than they would
have to enter Illinois or Ohio and take
possession of the lands of the farmers of
those States.
The Indian Territory is a country pur-
chased by the Indians who live there
The bargain they made with the Gov
ernment by which it was set aside for
them was as binding as the purchase of
Louisiana by Thomas Jefferson. The
continued effort to go in and take posses.
sion of the lands of the Indians ought to
be resisted at every step and by the
sternest means, The Indians are in a
manner the wards of the nation, and
their lack of business tact and experience
constitutes only additional reason for
their greater protection by the General
Government from the depredations Of an
unsympathetic border population.
