A NOVEL JOURNALISTIC VEN,
TURE
Not American!

Most new inventions, especially
journalistic inventions, come from
| America; but it is to the versatile
| Parisians that the credit of the very
latest thing in journalism is due. The
Campagnie Generate des VoItures
is starting q paper, entitled Paris.
Voitures, which is original in more
ways than one. Noisy newsvenders
are to give way to automatic mach
ines. Every cab is to be furnished
with one of these; you put ten CEN
time piece in the slot and you draw
out y Paris Voitures. The paper is to
contain the bills of the theaters, i'll
ustrated notes, and "tips" for the
races. AS if this were not sufficient
inducement to the ordinary boulevar-
der to make the double investment
In the cab and the paper for the COM
pany's benefit, the happy purchaser
of the paper Is insured against any
accident that may happen in the
course of the drive. This device Is
not now heard of for the first time,
but it may prove Ieassuring TO the
cautious foreigner who is alarmed at
the rockies driving of the Paris Jehu.
BY purely original continuance, the
holder of a Paris Cultures is to be
entitled to discount of ten
per. cent at the principal shops
mentioned in the paper-a happy
thought which should rouse the envy
of the proprietor of Tit-Bits. Lastly,
in the spirit of true utilitarian phil
osophy, business is to be combined
with philanthropy, the Automatic
Machine Company which undertakes
the distribution promising to devote
ten per cent of it's profits to founding
a cabmen's refuge.-Pall Mall Ga

RUDINI is dishonest. Blaine's last
communication shows that he is get
ting tired of Italy's misrepresenta-
tions. Rudini says that he will not
accept the idea of the responsibility
of the United States for the acts of
single states; and, then adds, that
the matter will be settled satisfactory
to the rights of Italy and all civilized
countries. Rudini never doubted
this. He is playing a political game
for effect at home and it will end in
his overthrow.
