How President Harrison was Enter

After lunching with Senator Hale ct his
home in Ellsworth, Me-, yesterday President
Harrison was entertained in the house or
strolled through the handsome ground until
about pm. Then, with Secretaries Blaine

reception which he has given since leaving
Boston Wednesday, and the people Of Ellis
worth turned out in large numbers to greet
him.
The President stood upon q raised platform
in front of the stage, and, after an introduction
to the committee who had managed the affair,
shook hands with the people as they passed
before him, many of them being introduced by
Mayor Aiken and Judge Wiswell. After shak-
ing hands with the President the people
greeted the other dignitaries in the presiden-
an hour. The reception was popular in the
fullest sense of the word, and at its close peo-
pie gathered on the Sidewalk in front of the
hall and cheered the President and party as
they were driven away.
Last evening there was quite dinner party
at Senator Hales. 1t included, in addition to
the visitors from Bar Harbor, Judge and Mrs.
Emery, Judge and Mrs. Wiswell and Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon Cummings. The weather today
has been OF the best that the President has

The French Girl.

Belva lockwood in Philadelphia ia Times
The French girl of the upper and middle
classes, and this is often true Of the lower
classes is 1.-the and symmetrical in form, beau
tiful in feature and graceful in motion Nor is
her beauty lost when she rounds into mature
womanhood, but she does not grow old grace
fully like American women nor continue to use
those arts to make herself attractive that graced
her girlhood- Among the upper classes she
grows stout and red faced, or lean, wrinkled
and haggard instead OF the fresh rosy face that
should be woman's browning glory until sew
enty or seventy-fve years. do not know to
what cause to attribute this unless it be that
the excessive pleasure-loving and living of the
French people, the late dinners and the late
hours, and especially excessive wine drinking
so apt to grow with years, steals away the
beauty of face and form. the elasticity OF step
and freshness that has.not exhausted all OF
the joys of life. In the middle and lower
classes, and especially the latter, the women
get In time a permanent bronze from their
almost constant out-of-door life Cfor all Paris
lives more or less out of doors) and from the
constant carrying of burdens get permanently
hunch-baeked, lame and rheumatic. SO that q
woman OF fifty will show the inirmities of
seventy-hve.

Our Legation in London.

London Letter in Richmond Times
The official quarters of the American minis

United States if they were no bigger than Hen
rico county. small tin sign beside a door in
a tall building in Victoria street contains the
legend that this is ''The legation of the United
States Of America" You are fortunate if YOU
can find the place, for no one you ask has ever
heard Of it. Some think it is at steamship
company's. Having found the place you ring
bell. After long time a maid opens the
door. You say you wish to see the American
minister. Instead of showing you into an am
pie Office she waves her hand toward the back
of the passage, where it is narrowed by the
stairway. and with a sniff disappears You
wander darkly back and find door with a card
signifying that this is THE Legation of the
great country from which you hail. The upper
panel is of smoked glass, to admit a ray of
light into the passage, but as it does not enable
you to see you feel until you find the bell, when
you ring again. This time messenger opens
the door and you are ushered into 1.-The Lega-
tion"-three or four dim, dingy little rooms
with old, worn tables and chairs and old,
faded, worn carpets. There is not an insurance

The BOulanper Trial.

The French senate court yesterday resolved
itself into legislative chamber, and on the
advice Of NJ. Develle raised the question Of the
courts competency to try Gen. Boulanger
The president of the senate requested the
members to pledge themselves to secrecy re-
garding the proceedings The members of the
right refused to give pledge of secrecy on the
ground that, as the indictment had been widely
published they had the right to publicly ex-
press their opinions on the case. The right
moved that the court was incompetent to try
Gen. Boulanger because the allegations in the
indictment did not constitute treason. The
motion was rejected by a vote of 212 to 81.
The right after ward met and decided to take
no further part in the proceedings.

From the Lady's Pictorial
The royal brides wedding travelling bag is
remarkably handsome and complete, and is
made Of the beautiful new moss-green morocco
recently introduced by Mr.. Albert Barker,
which has been selected by her royal highness,
as it happens to be Lord Flies colors. AL
though her royal highness has preferred a
rather small bag it is most completely fitted in
very compact manner. 1t contains all the
necessary toilet fitting as well as the usual
writing and needle-work accessories The gold
fittings are bullet-hammered all over, each
article being surmounted with the monogram
Ga reversed L and coronet) in diamonds, which
has been selected from designs specially made
by MIR: Barker, and which designs the princess
has adopted generally. The hair and other
brushes, paper knife, shoe lift, glove stretchers
and the handles of the instruments are all
made of very fine pale, mottled tortoise shell,
and mounted with the same device. The writ
ing book is fitted with some exquisitely illumi-
mated note paper and eny elopes The bag is Of
the new shape, invented and patented by Mr..
Barker. which opens extremely wide and fat
and at the same time is capable of holding
more than any other bag of the same size

to impress the public. ITS ClRCULA.
TION Is SWORN TO; its PRESS
ROOM Is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC;
and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED
by any one having an interest In their

gins had during his visits opened the morning

them in the firms name and got them cashed
The entire amount obtained in this way is said
to be about %, 200, and it is also charged that
he embezzled S2,S00 from Mr.. Tilton before
