LONDON, June 2.-[Copyright. lat last
q noble lord has been found willing to
swallow Balfour and the Lord Lieutenantey
of Ireland together. Earl Zetland is the
name of the individual whom Salisbury.
after desperate efforts, has unearthed at the
tail end of the alphabetical list of peers.
He is ridiculously modern person, being
able to trace his folk back 130 years only,
and is probably moved by desire to add a
few lines Of interesting reading to his dry
page of family history.
In debates his qualifications as a man
chosen to represent the Queen and sit on
the throne in Dublin are as follows: He
has money, is well-known turf gambler,
belongs to seven good clubs, cares nothing
for politics, and so far from interfering with
Balfour's methods of making Ireland
peaceful, understands distinctly that he is
to be an ornamental tool like his sporting
predecessor, Lord Londonderry.
Gladstonian managers who spend much
time devising methods for giving incredu-
lous Englishmen an idea of what coercion
really is, have Just hit upon and put into
execution rather good idea. Exact copy
has been made of
AHUGE BATTERING RAM,
known as Balfour's maiden, which has fig
ured dIsgracefully in numerous evictions.
This ram will soon start on a journey
through rural England, accompanied by
speakers who will take turns lecturing on
its work, and who will seize any opportu-
nifty for practical demonstration of the way
Irish cottages are knocked down. This is
expected to influence the sturdy country
Briton, and make him vote to abolish the
use of Balfour and battering rams as peace
makers. The Grand Old Mans golden
wedding falls on July 25, and is to be cele-
brated with unusually fine goings-on at
Hawarden. Mr. Gladstone will probably
not come to London for Parliament any
more after that date unless something very
remarkable should turn up.
have spent part of the week in Paris
and that gay town is evidently destined to
be the center of the sightseeing tourist
activity of the world all summer. A fact
the contented frame of mind suddenly ac-
quired by tickle Parisisns, and which grows
with the prosperity of their exhibition.
BoULANGER OUT OF DATE.
Fiery individuals who three months ago
were yelling for Boulanger and getting
their coats torn of by police are quiet and
otherwise engaged. Prosperous ones spend
their time Dragging and climbing Eiffel
tower, drinking cool draughts and watching
curious female foreigners dance. The poor
ragged Boulangists seem mostly to have
taken up business of speculating in ex-
hibition tickets, which can be had at very
low prices.
1t is interesting, by the way, to note that
America has had the honor of supplying a
man to fill the void created in the hearts of
the susceptible French females by Boulang-
er's departure.
Buffalo Bill is the man, and he is fast
cutting the General out as professional
male beauty. His eyes are not as blue as
the Generals, but he has longer hair and is
bigger. He rides better and there are
fierce tales of bears, Indians and bisons
weltering in their blood to lend romantic
interest to his smiles.
The success of this curious combination
of American scout and circus actor is all
the more pronounced, as French society is
not nearly as prone as English to take up
outlandish social lions. On Wednesday
Buffalo Bill had dejeuner offered him by
one of the fastest and best known Partisan
society women, Comtesse Chandon de
Briailles. A real genuine princess, and
Madam Hackon, a famous Paris beauty,
were there, and these with many masculine
samples of
OLD FRENCH NOBILITY
Joined in homage to Cody and pilgrim
age to his circus, which followed lunch.
The exhibition is gradually emerging from
a state of chaos and becomes more wonder
full every day. There never was anything
at all to compare with it. Having seen
other international shows gives no idea of
this one, which combines the most wonder
full display of science and art, with the lead
ing features of the modern circus.
The big tower is not yet accessible to the
public all the way up, but it is making
itself useful.
On Wednesday boat laden with valua-
BILE cargo from Havre came to grief in the
Seine. 1t was dark, and the cargo would
have sunk and been lest but for powerful
light on top of the tower, which was oblig-
ingly poured in a steady stream on the boat,
while the cargo was saved.
