1t is mentioned incidentally that the
successful merchant is firmly convinced
of the great beauty of Franco Russian
alliance.
Prince Damrong. the brother of the
King of Siam, and now in Paris, says he
thinks the missionaries in his country put
the cart before the horse. They begin, he
says, by preaching that all the Siamese
know and all their belief in Buddhism are
entirely false, and that the only truth is
in the faith which they PROFOUND. Then,
after prejudicing the people against them
in this way, they establish schools and do
come good work. He thinks they ought
to begin by opening schools and perform
ing other helpful service which the people
can appreciate, and then enlighten the
public as to their tenets; and while ex-
planning their faith they should not en-
tirely condemn Buddhism, but should
teach what is good in Christianity with
out condemning what is good in the native
faith.
Lawyers in Europe are greatly interested
in legal case to be decided soon in the
English courts. A subject of the Queen
left his wife in London and went to Ma,
pies, where he fell in love with an italian
woman. Persuading her that he was q
single man, she consented to follow him tc
the altar. To his great relief, he received
word on the day of his second marriage
that his English wife had died. Easy Of
heart, he returned to London, but was a
once arrested at the instance of his En-
glish relatives, on charge of bigamy. HI
insisted that the charge was groundless, a.
the English wife had departed this life OF
the day he had been united to his presen
better half. The relatives, however, wer,
able to prove that, taking into considera
ton the difference in time between LondoI
and Naples, he was the husband of two
wives for twenty-three minutes. The tris
will prove whether the relatives have
right to prosecute the man on thes'
grounds. The case, so far as can b.
learned, is unique, but it bears upon con
tracts of different nature and kind.

was no exception-were all revolutionists.
1t was only a few days after we were
settled that AIibaud shot at and barely
missed Louis Philippe, the glass from the
broken window of his carriage cutting the
kings face. There was an immense com
motion, and the next day two of our COM
pany were arrested at the table d'hote and
marched off to the concierge. Alibaud
was sentenced to the guillotine. A de-
monstration of the students was planned,
but no one could ascertain the day when
the execution was to take place. 1t was
discovered late in the evening before that
it was to be at sunrise the following morn
ing. My companion and l were on the
spot at daylight with our passports. An
immense crowd WAS already assembling
We got where we could see. though at a
distance. Alibaud had begged for a cigar,
declining the glass of cognac generally of

THE ANTT-LOTTERY FIGHT.

THE ANTE-LOITERY FIGHT.
Tomorrow evening a notable meeting
will take place in Chickering hall, New
York, in response to an appeal issued by
citizens of Louisiana for help in the fight
against the Louisiana lottery. The meet
ing will be presided over by Bishop Potter,
and addresses will be made by the Hon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, President Seth Low,
Rabbi Guttheil, the Rev. Father Elliott,
and other prominent gentlemen.
There is one point in the appeal which
has been sent forth from Louisiana that
ought to make powerful impression even
on those who are accustomed to contribute
to the support of the great lottery. That
is that the prizes paid are in no honest
proportion to the cost of the tickets or the
chance of winning. For instance, for
81 ticket the chance of winning prize
of S5 cents is one in three; of winning a
prize of $1.70 one in nineteen, and of win
ming prize of S4.25 one in twelve hun
dred and thirty-seven. The schemes of
the more recent drawings are so arranged
that they can sell seventy-fve per cent of
their tickets, pay ten per cent. for selling
them, lose all the prizes provided for in
the schemes, pay one million dollars for
expenses and still make $3,000,O00 profits
per annum.
No wonder the lottery company is will
ing to pay s31 ,25O, 900 for renewal of its
charter for term of twenty-five years. 1t
could well afford to if the crop of fools
did not greatly decrease, and it probably
would not. If the people of other
States can do anything to help the good
citizens of Louisiana who are trying to
kill the lottery monster they should hasten
to do it. Its depredations are general.
We suppose that it draws out of New Ha-
ven at least $50, 200 year.

A Student in Paris Fifty Years Ago.
[Richard B. Kimball in the New York Times.I
We landed at Boulogne July l, 1886, late
in the day. We were marched like pris-
oners between file of soldiers to the GUS
tom house, where we were directed to de-
posit our passports for examination, to be
returned the next morning, our "effects"
meantime remaining on the steamer. We
then had the liberty of the town. The
following day our luggage was examined
and we were asked where we were going.
Thereupon we were told we should find
our passports at the Office of the prefec-
| ture of police in Paris! The diligence was
waiting for US. We got as far as Amiens
| the first day and reached Paris on the
evening of the second day. We secured
lodgings opposite the upper corner of the
| Garden of Plants, in the Rue Copeau, near
the famous hospital of Our Mother of
Pity. We were made very comfortable at
a very low price in one of the hotels of
the ancient noblesse, which had been
turned into students quarters. The table
d'hote was excellent, with good ordinary
red wine at five sous per bottle. l attend

which were free. Vivisection was con-

Louis, who had charge of the fever ward
at 'sLa Pite," and learned how typhoid fe-

INVENTOR EDISON,S LATEST.


Inventor Edison has recently said that
high speed electric traction was a thing of
the immediate future, and that the steam
locomotive was doomed. The question
now seems to be, does Edison know what
he is talking abouts A number of men
who know something about electrical mat
ters intimate that he does not. Prof.
Elihu Thomson believes that in the gradual
evolution of electrical things the electric
| locomotive may eventually replace the
steam locomotive upon roads which have a
heavy traffic and which can be supplied by
water powers. The conditions of street
railroad work are such as to deny ghost
| of chance to any such scheme as
outlined by Edison, and his statements,
without the beginning of a demonstra-
ton of their feasibility, are declared to be
calculated to retard the growth of the in
dustry. Professor Sidney H. Short, who
| has invented an electric traction system of
wide use in the West, points out that the
! proposed double conversion of energy with
the features of low voltage and enormous
| volume of current is not along the line of
either economy OR efficiency, and that the
first cost and maintenance would be pro-
hibitory. Anxious as he is to believe that
street railroads can be operated in the
manner described, his knowledge
and experience make him incredu-
lous. Mr.. o. T. Crosby points out
that the Weems system has already accom-
plished Ligh speeds by electric traction.
It's commercial realization demands not a
genius, but good railroading, good engineer
ing and plenty of money. The transfer
from high to low potential and the use of
the rails as conductors presents such an
enormous burden in the first cost of plant
and involves such an unusually large trans
mission losses from the primary engine to
motor on car and such apparently i'm
practicable changes in railroad methods as
to remove the scheme from serious con-
sideration.
If Inventor Edison can do what he says
he can he will be able to confound his
critics. Time will tell. His promises are
certainly very large.
