a KING IN EXILE,
no" Milan, the EN-Ruler of Servia
Spends His Time in Paris

"o" milan, the Ex-Ruler of Seryia
spends His Time in Paris.
Ex-hlng Milan, of Servia, has 70,
months been struggling with the fair
Tarlslans- They, anxious to make him
thelr new toy, the idol of an hour have
uSeo ali their arts to persuade this ex-
sovereign that five o'clock teas are pre-
lerabIe to gambling tables and private
dinner parties to the club life and the
society OF Nine. Cristich. Vicomte de
herVeguen consented to give a fete and
introduce Milan to Partisan society, but
the latter refused to accept the PROPOSE
ton. NJ de kerveguen would be GER
talnIy more than capable of launching
the Servian ex-king on the sea of fash
1onaoie life, for he is noted for giving
feteS that, although magnificent, are
still startling in their eccentricitv. 1t
was in his house, after dinner, that
the Ficomtesse de Tredeson sung in the
presence of General Boulanger EN-
Revenant de la Revue and then socie-
ty was shaken to its foundation.
Milan has only consented to appear at
few dinners, and recently he has been
entertaining at the home of an artist
whose house is noted for its curiosities
and objects Dart.
King Milan, now called Count de
Takovo, is my neighbor in the Avenue
du Bots de Boulogne: he has leased the
house once occupied by Prince Leopold
OF Saxe-Coburg for ten years at the rate
of $4,000 a year, and he enjoys life as a
typical Frenchman is supposed to do.
He IS member of the Jockey Club, also
OF the Creole de la Rue Royale. and in
these clubs he allows no one to call him
Majesty, but is satisfied with a simple
monsigneur
Milan patronizes the French turf and
the English are groaning because they
have not been called upon to initiate
monsigneur into the mysteries OF
sport
While the English regret Milan's de-
cision to remain in Paris, the French
are wondering where and how he dis
poses of the many precious gems that
are sent from the shops in the Rue de IA
Paix TO his home. Perhaps he is pre-
pairing for a rainy day, perhaps he has 4
friend or friends fond of precious stones;
In any case curious ones find no trace
OF the treasures after they leave the
velvet cushions of the jewellers win.
dows
Milan does not seem to regret his
throne, but he follows with close atten-
ton all the political events that take
place in the Servian kingdom. From
time to time he visits Belgrade in order
to watch the progress of the young
Prince in his various studies and that
of his ex-wife Natalie in political in
trigue. King Milan was educated in
Paris, and he is interested as a French
man in the literary, artistic and the
atrical movements of the city Of his
adoption.
There are those who believe that
when Milan abdicated in favor of his
son ne did so with the intention of re-
turning TO power. These accusations
render the ex-king very furious but in
spite of his earnest protestations he
has much difficulty in allaying suspi-
cion.-Paris Cor. n. y. World.

WOMEN AND WAGES,

THE PERFECT HARMONY.

II thou the soul within thee hast not fed,
Dare not TO offer others living bread.
II thou thyself hast never stopped to drink,
Lead not another to the fountains brink
If thou hast closed thine eyes and wilt not see,
Think not thy touch can set the blind man free.
Content with the low land that round thee lies,
Point not thy groveling brother to the skies;
II thou choose rags, and wear them in his sight
Talk not TO him Of raiment fine and white.
II hellish passions rage within thy breast,
Bid no man entertain q heavenly guest
Let inward life and outward service be
Together linked in perfect harmony.
Like Ginning bells, that ring so clear and true,
We hear angelic music flowing through.

AS to President Harrison, we have
it on the authority of Wharton Barker

he handed over the naming of a Cabinet

and dishonest boss. The President
sinned against knowledge, and this fact,
so well attested, probably accounts for
his desire to recover lost ground by un-
loading Quay Post.

Democracy's Tidal Wave.

Disgust with Harrison and his ad-
ministration is turning the people to
the Democratic standards in droves. all
over the country. TIE sweeping Demo
cratic victories in Harrisons own State
are especially significant. The Presi-
dent, who has repudiated his pledges
and his promises. is in turn repudiated
by the people of Indiana, who know him
best. The people of the whole country,
however, are repudiating Harrison at
the polls whenever an opportunity per-
mits them to do So The Democratic
tidal wave which is sweeping over the
country has become an avalanche, and

The Magnetic Statesman Will Probably
Try His Luck Once More.
Mr.. Blaine's statement that if Mr..
Chauncey NJ. Depew can carry New
York he will be happy to support him
for the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation will scarcely convince any one
that he has rid himself of the Presiden-
tial yearn which has afflicted him for
fifteen years. 1t is chronic disease
with him. Even when in 1883 it had
shattered his nerves and reduced him to
state of what threatened to be per-
manent Mysteries if not insanity, he
cherished it until it became apparent
that he would be defeated if he went
before the convention. The present
situation is calculated to give him new
hopes. His nerves are steadier, and he
IS less hysterical than he was under the
strain of ambition and anxiety in 1888.
Harrison is so thoroughly discredited,
the Re publican party is SO disguised
with him that his denomination is inn
possible, and the party less inclined
than in the past to take up an unknown
man for its candidate. 1t generally
happens that the sins of a President are
visited on his Cabinet-especially on
the leading Cabinet officer-but Mr..
Blaine has managed it so cleverly that
Mr.. Harrison bears the whole odium of
the party administration. If the Secre-
tary of State is not as popular as he was
in 1884 he is so much more popular
with Republicans than the President is
that any possible decrease in popularity
is made to seem an increase by com
parison. A shrug of his shoulders, a
nod of his head towards the White
House, goes as far as all the more intri-
cate arts of Oily Cannon, Esq, to con-
vince his admirers that it is only be-
cause he can not have his way that
things are not diffel ent. Harrison is
defunct; John Sherman has no more
than enough strength left to make any
Ohio candidate impossible, Mr.. Allison
has so declined in popularity that he
barely escaped defeat for the Senate,
and there is nobody left but Depew and
Alger - both millionaires and pluto
Gratis, to nominate either of whom would
be to invite defeat in the Granger
States.
So Mr.. Blaine has the field open to
him. It taxes credulity to ask it to be-
lieve that man of his fixed habit of
yearning for the Presidency will resist
such a temptatior--St. Louis Republic.

SPECIAL ELECTION EXPENSES.

Commenting on tho reported action
OF Esmeralda county in commencing
slit against tho State foE tho collcc-
tiol Of the full amount OF tho ex-
penses incurred at the special election
OF February IL, 1880, tho Enterprise
says:
Tho counties should not institute
suit, against tho State now, but they
should all present their unpaid bal
nuces for payment. Tho question
has already been decided by the Su-
premc Court in the case OF Lyon
county against the State that the
State was liable for all bills incurred
ut tho special election that are legiti-
innate in their nature and not eNorbit-
ant, and tho State will not now stand
my moro law suits. The several
Bolrds Of County Commissioners
should therefore present their bills
against the State and have them act
ed upon in tho Same manner as other
bills arc acted upon.
!, We have mover entertained n doubt
that the State is liable for tho full
amount OF tho expenses incurred Mt
said election, rs certified to by tho
several Boards of County Commission
ors, for the law on tho subject is too
plain to admit OF any other construc-
tion. The ISDErESDEST has therefore
held that tho State would DO com
PEELED to pay tho said amounts, and
all that is necessary 10 for tho Board
OF Commissioners to put in their
claim. II our Commissioners neglect
to put in their claim for tho unpaid
balance it will not DO phid, rs n matter
OF course, and tho county treasury
will be out the amount OF tho differ
one, between tho amount paid by
tho county and the amount allowed
by tho State Board Of Examiners,
that difference being about 500.
The Board ut their next meeting
should mako arrangements 10 put in
the claim Of Elko county for tho
