 Sir John Thompson's amendment was a compromise. It leaves to the LeRis- lature of tho Northwest Territories the settlement of the question whether the proceedings and records of tho House snail be in two languages or in one, but retains French in the courts and on the statutes.
 The division was the most exciting and uncertain since Sir John Macdon- aid was defeated in 1878.

 May l accompany you back to your W1fe?' and back we went. 1 said:
 I'M adam. you have mistaken me for some one else, but my curiosity is reused, and If you feel like telling mo the story l would like to hear it.'
 Who that has had an interes ting in- cident suddenly recalled can resist an invitation to tell it? They had taken and this is the tale.
 No star had ever put up at Miss Blanks until the advent of Miss L., who had just emerged from the chorus and was singing nit nor roles. She had the best room in the house and was envled by the other boarders for her numerous and chic wardrobe. Among other things she had very charming house jacket of old ose silk which she often wore at dinner, and whose appear ance always turned the other ladies green with jealousy. It was a neglige "fiair falling we'll open at the throat and with sleeves ending at the elbow In flowing ruthe. One evening she left this waist lying across her bed and when she returned from the the. ater 1t was gone. At breakfast she an- nounced her loss, b:t on going up stairs found it hanging in her closet. This occurred several times and was reported n the dining room. but as the jacket always reappeared Miss L--'s fellow-boarders began to laugh at her, and it was pretty generally believed among them u tt she had nightly hallucination born of after-theater <tne suppers. Miss L. was ieered to silence. but still the jacket went and caue, and was no less a puzzle because she was forced to keep tho matter to herself. The morning after she left town and took the mysterious corsa re with her newspaper contained thls paragraphs:
 THE FAIR ADRIENNE IN TRoUBIE."
 At tho - street concert hall last night Mile. appeared on the stage in d shabby and prudi >hly high necHed gown. which incensed the manager and caused such row behind the scenes that policeman was summoned. Mile, explained to reporter that the pink silk waist she had been wearing for some time was stolen last night and she had not had time to supply It's place. She lives in one of that row of theatrical boarding houses of which Miss Blanks is one. and the presump- tion is that some other fair kicker has, by means of the low wing roofs which run along the block, carried off this pink confection to grace some other Bohemian resort"

The Contest Still an Open one-NIr. Mins Be Taken Monday Sporting Men
 Wager that New York Will Secure the Site.
 WAsHlNGroN, Feb. 22.-The battle
 for the Worlds Fair has reached a cri-
 sis. The real fighting began last night
 on the arrival of the delegation from
 New York, headed by Mayor Grant Mayor Creiger and 100 citizens from Chicago, Mayor Noonan and fifty St LOuisans will arrive here. thls after l noon. and by night the struggle will be at its helght.
 Washington has practically given up
 tho fight. St. Louis has bsen practi- cally knocked out of the race. 1here- fore the real contest lies between New York and Chicago.
 Chicago boomers have made the most extraordinary attempts to eriect Q deal with Sr. Louis and Washington, but their Overtures have been indignantly refused.
 When the break comes. as sure it will. 1t. Louis may be depended upon
 to throw its strength, or the greater
 part of it, to New ork. Washington's disposition is identical with that of St. Louis.
 During the debate tho claims of New
 York wore advocated by John Raines. General Spinola, Major tarquhar, Judge McCarty and Mcssrs. Baker, Dunphy. Fitch, Lansing and Turner. Chicago eloquence was poured forth by Messrs. Springer, Adams, Hit and Payson; that of St. Louis by Messrs. Hatch, Frank and Wade, whlle the ad vantaEes of Washington wore showed
 up in tho best light by Messrs. Wilson,
 of West Virginia, Bowden, of Virginia;
 Houk, of Tennessee, and others. Mills and Morse Oppose the Fair.
 MT. Mills, of Texas opposed holding the Fair and said when tho question of
 passing the bill came up he would cast

 helped by Government appropriations, the people would nnally break down
 under the burden of taxation. He said
 he thought the bill would pass, and it
 would be charged up to patriotism and to Colun bus. He supposed that he
 would have to cast his vote for some particular site, and that vote would be cast for St. Louis.
 Mir. Morse, of Massachusetts. also opposed the bill. Ho thought that if
 the Far should be held anywhere it
 should be held in Washington. But he had some doubts as to the advisability
 of holding a fair.
 Mir. Candler, of Massachusetts, closed
 the debate in few words. saying the
 country could safely trust the House to
 discharge it's full duty, and he hoped
 for a favorable conclusion upon tho question next Monday.

 READING, Pa., Feb. 22.-Mrs. Maggie Hart is a pert little brunette of 2a years. and some time ago her husband. James. left for the West. During his absence, he says, he sent his wife $40 and $50 every month. and when he re- ceived word from his neigh bors, telling him he had better come home to look after his domestic affairs, he was some- what startled. He came. bat his pretty little wife was gone and their tidy home broken up. Then he learned that dur ing his absence 8 letter carrier, Philip Francis, was frequent visitor to his home, and then he found that he, too, had suddenly disappeared.
 Warrants were issued for both, and last night the black eyed beauty was taken into custody at Altoona, but the letter carrier has not yet been appre- hended. She will be brought here for trial on a charge of funfaithfulnsss.
 In Altoona Mrs. Hart wont by the name of Minnie Westbrook. Sho az rived there from Reading two weeks ago.

THE WAIST THAT CAUSED THE TRoUBrR thla's weaknesses is taste for crude victuals, and the cooking she does in her room often raises protest from her fellow boarders. A too great in- diligence in odoriferous food resulted in her leaving her last lodging. Imagine, if you can. the brave Cynthia and 0 fair Lillian-bidden from her uptown fat-sitting down to a little supper of fried onions and cabbage, while the rest of the household got nothing but the fragrance. Small wonder if there is complaint.
 Turn into Bulfinch Place some day in the ancient quarter of Boston, and pull the bell of No. ,, but see that you do it reverently, for the threshold is sacred to the memory of many foot light idols who are now passed off into the silenro. This is the most famous private boarding place of theatrical stars in America. It is Miss t'oste 8 house and she herself is one of Boston's s typical old ladies. Slender, gray and as delicate a, the laces about her wrists and throat. and 80 old that the teacup shakes in her blue-veined hand, she knows moro about the private habits of our celeb ated actors than anyone elSo, except Cnelr miles, and she could furnish volumes of nnwrit.en biography concerning them. Tho house is full of mementoes, from paint ings by Jeferscr to cast-ott costumes of Mccullough, and every nook and cranny speaks of William Warren. I found Annie Pixley here in the room where Warren spent his last years He died in this bed" said Miss Pix ley; "whore my trunk is stood his coffin; 1t is privilege to occupy the room after him"
 But the most interesting room in this house is the kitchen. Here the after theater supper used to be, and pro. sume now is, laid. It is a aquaint, Puri- tan looking place, with d esser and Dutch oven. and shining rows of copper and tin vessels upon the walls Hero Jefferson and Warren and Mo 'ullourh, and Maggie Mitchell, Annie PiAley, Barrett and the la ented Kate Beau mont, Booth. Murdock and many others have gathered at midnight. One can imagine that some very gool things have been said here, when Hamlet brought his wit and Rip Van Winkle his merriment and the others their need to the store. One who has shared these suppers says that some of the best things these men and women ever said have been said in Miss Fosters kitchen. ADA CONE.

 It proceeds from the prettiest girl in the room. and this proves to be her method of calling the waiter.
 The exclamation and not the picture l nd to be the ke mote of the culture, and the appearance of the company find to be in harmony with tho dis course. There is on them the common expression which results from the same habits of life, and this expression is now cosmopolitanism, born of con stant travel, which sits oddly on per- sons who are evidently of worry ordinary origin, who, if not in this occupation, would be ploddtng in quiet work as seamstresses. porters and salesmen. Among no other assemblage of the same origin could be heard such snatohes of conversation as there.

 BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The result of the
 Parliamentary elections has astounded the Emperor and abundantly justified the opposition of Prince Bismarck to tho prac ctical application of the ideas of State Socialism entertained by his im- perial master.
 In view of the remarkable strength shown by the Socialists at the polls it must bo assumed that the number of the people of Germany, who prefer Democratic Socialism to Imperial So- cialism, Is greater than the Emperor believed, and also that the mum bor must largely increase in the near future
 through tho enthusiastic agitation of victorious Democratic leaders. The Stuttgart Gazette says that the Emperor, speaking to Count Waldersee,
 remarked "l regard it as my holy duty to intercede on behalf of tho work ing classes. l know not what may come of it. but l wish to be freed in future from the charge of having left
 anything undone in this emergency" Socialists Wild With Joy. The Socialists are wild with joy at
 their successes and congratulations arc pouring in upon them from every coun- try in Europe. Comparatively little | disorder has been observable in any part of Germany Q fact which is duo | in a great measure to the advice of the Socialist leaders, who realize that i'm | moderate conduct on the part of their l followers will certainly destroy their l chances of further advantage.
