SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN.
Three Wind Storms From Different Points
Moving in This Direction.

PREPARED FOR THE DIsPATCH.1
The Southern cyclone that was central in
the East Gulf States on Wednesday divided as
it travelled northeast yesterday, and one
section was central on the Atlantic coast
alb out North Carolina. while the second section
passed more to the north and had its center
near Louisville. The storm from the North
west transferred its center from Montana to
Minnesota All three storms appeared to be
increasing in intensity, the one on the coast
being most powerful and dangerous. The
winds from North Carolina to Maine were
blowing from the northeast, with velociries
from 26 to As miles an hour. and the danger to
vessels was greatly increased by dense fog all
along the coast line. All three storms were
moving toward this vicinity. and the chances
are favorable for their uniting as the Western
storms approach the coast

In q Paris Restaurant.

a recent visitor in Paris writes about
restaurant he visited there, whers 8
substantial meal could be obtained fol
one sou. He says: 1t is popular with
those OF the criminal classes VINO. are
not in danger Of immediate arrest by
the police and can afford to come out OF
their hiding places long enough to eat.
If you did not know the place TO be the
resort of thieves. you would soon begin
to suspect it. Nothing about the place
is movable. The tables and benches
are screwed to the floor, the iron basins
from which the food is eaten are sunken
into the tables aud screwed down at the
edges. The spoons. knives. cups and
forks are also secured by short chains
to the tables, and. as the food is already
seasoned, no pepper or salt castors are
provided. The only one sou dish, how
ever, is a thick broth or soup. A strap
ping big woman carries it about the
room to the customers In sort Of rub
Der bag, which she holds under her arm
and uses for all the world like Scotch.
mans bagpipes. The bag IS provided
with long neck which ends in nozzle.
The woman lowers the nozzle into the
basin before the customer, aud when
she gives the bag under her arm a
squeeze with her elbow out squirts the
broth. and she controls the quantity by
gripping the long neck, giving one
sou dish or two sou dish at will. While
we were looking ON, the attendant got
into a dispute with one OF her customers,
a stran ger to the place, trncnlent look
ing ex-cOnvict, about the quantity Of
broth she had placed before him for two
sous. He asserted that it was not
worth more than one sou, and nobody
should make him pay more for it. He
threw down his one sou with an oath,
and took his spoon tc eat. Quickly and
quietly the attendant lowered the long
neck into his soup basin, Withdrew the
pressure OF her elbow from the bag
under her arm, and with an audible
suck half the broth was siph0ned back
into the bag in a jiffy from under the
GROWERS very nose. The surprise OF
that ex-convict was only equalled by!
our own. .is5
