pace that attracts the attention even Of
people who have no direct interest in the
attire of women. Such q movement oc-
CURED last year with the Jane Hading
veil. The most obtuse Of men discovered
that new veil had come to town, and
began to talk about it within month af-
ter Mime. Hading's arrival. Since that
time nothing has come up which APP
preached the sudden popularity of the
veil until the little capes, which are just
now affected by women, came to the
surface. The cape, though single gar
ment, looks as though composed of five
or six capes, each one an inch or two
shorter than the other. They are pat
termed apparently after the ones that have
been worn by coachmen for the last eight
or ten years in New York. and the fash
ion is said to have been set by Lady Ber-
esford, the wife of one of the most en-
thusiastic coaching men in Great Britain.
They are exceedingly pretty and effective,
and they seem to please the men. Per-
haps this is one of the results aimed at

HosoRIHa GLADSTONE
Only One London Paper Silly Enough to

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Hnndreds ofmeetings

where tonight in honor of the eightieth

newspapers pay their respects to him. in

portion to their leaning toward liberalism
or the closeness of their utilization with the

however, has had the bad taste, not
to say downright brutality. to
seize the opportunity afforded by
the occasion TO openly attack the
party spite is made by the ST. James Ga
zette, which declares that he is only sup
ported by ''Jacobins, gutter yahoos and
Irish disloyalty." To this outburst, how
ever, nobody has paid the slightest atten-
ton and doubtless the author and abettors
of the article are now heartily ashamed of
their work
Apropos of the allegation of Mr.. Par
nell and his friends that the action
brought against the home rule leader by
Captain O'Shea was instigated by Mr..
Huston in the interest of the Times in the
expectation that it would have the effect to
weaken Mr.. Parnell's suit for libel against
the Times and draw public attention
away from the commissions report on
the forged letters. 1t is noteworthy that
the hearing of O'Shea's case is fixed for a
time concurrent with the examination of
Parnell's suit against the Times. The Co
incident may be accidental, but nobody
can be found who believes that 1t is and as
to O'Shea's action the opinion is general
that the captain will emerge from the
contest the most discredited and most dis
pissed man in all England.

A Diplomatic Scandal.

There was a serious diplomatic scandal
1T Vienna during the shah's visit, which
has been kept very quiet. The Persian
minister to Austria has fallen into Pc
cuniary embarrassment, as his salary of
$4,000 q year is appropriated by the grand
viLier, to whom he has also to send fire.
quent and costly presents. The minis
ter's creditors at Vienna assembled few
days before the shah arrived and decided
to send deputation to watt upon the
grand vizier with their complaint; and
accordingly that parsonage received them
and was handed an immense pile of the
minister's unpaid bills. The result was
that the shah paid his representative
debts instead of taking him home for ex-
ecution. His majesty's liberality is at
tributed to the fact that the minister at
Vienna owns large estate on the Bos-
phorus, SO that he would certainly have
declined to accompany the shah back to
Persia The grand vizier is said to have
told the minister that his difficulties were
entirely due to his own stupidity, az II

sums by trafficking in Persian conces-

S1IOIIIS, GAS BILL,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 3O.-The Post-Dis-
patch tonight prints page of sensational
statements and interviews with reference
to the so-called ''robber gas BILL" in which
the claim is made that Ed. Butler, we'll
known local lobbyist, who bears the title
of BOSS of the General Assembly" offered
to secure the veto of the gas bill by the
mayor through the influence of Hon John
B. O'Mera, Mayor Noonan's nearest friend.
1t is claimed that the offer was made to
James Campbell, the broker who holds
100000 gas stock, and that Mr.. Buffers
figures for veto we're $l50.000. Mr.. But
Ter denies the story; so does Mr.. O'Mera.
while Mr.. Campbell is Don-committal.
The mayor has not yet signed, nor has he
vetoed the bill. When he acts there will
likely be some startling developments.
