A Severe Kebufka.

The late Count dc Nieuwerkerke was
one of the last survivors of the brilliant
court OF Napoleon III. In those days he

GOVERNOR RussEIl's HOME.

The governor has really very little home
hfe. Social events TO which he has accept
ed invitations take up great many Of his
evenings. Ye, for every invitation he &C
cepts no Is obliged to decline nine. Ii is
the exception for him 20 spend an evening
quietly at k2me. Still he would not care
to have this condition Of affairs greatly
altered. for he entertains the view that
nightly attendance az all kinds of social
gatherings very completely keeps the ex-
ecutive in intimate touch with the people
whose interests be is appointed to guard.
Every two or three weeks lac takes day
of and goes a-ishing" He simply hides
On these occasions and nobody can find
him, because he doesn't want 10 be found.

General J. X. West, while on recent
visit 10 Havana, saw the captain general
Of Cuba, who assured him that it was his
sesire that the island should be well repre-
scented at the Chicago exposition, and tina,
he would do all he could TO secure that
end. Some valuable historical paintings
portraying incidents in the Columbian era
will be displayed. The Marquis de Apoz-
teguia, the largest planter on the island, is
keenly alive 10 the situation, and is person
ally taking a great interest in securing a
good representation of the sugar industry.
The cigarmakers and manufacturers of
fans, fancy articles, embroidery etc, who
find their best market in the United States,
are also making preparations for fine

The n1dest Iron Work.

In England, perhaps, tho oldest existing
works in iron are hinges 70 doors, strength
sning bars, handles, cscutcbeons, lock
plates and the like. Even the nails were
things OF beauty. Abroad the massive
doors of the Cathedral Of Notre Dame do
Paris offer a wonderful example Of early
iron work. Probably designed in the
twelfth century, the doors are nearly con
cealed with their decoration of trees and
birds, dragons aud other grotesque beings.

said 1t was true in regard to Reed himself,
he was only in fourth place in the following
order: Freeman, Heffner. Barker and Reed.
The records OF these players place them
ahead of Reed, andare our grounds for nam

never was champion of any place else and
anything to the contrary is "exclusively'
believed by Mr.. Reed and Mr.. II. F. McAteer.

PARIS, June LIN the Chamoer of Depu
ties yesterday M. Soubrein moved an appel
lation in favor of silver standard of cur
rency. He argued that IL silver was de-
monetized it would no longer have any value
in France In Austria, he said, measures
are pending that withdraw 75o. .0OJ.0o0 francs
in gold from Paris and London. 1t is essen
tial that the French government shall send
representatives to the coming silver confer
ence with instructions tending to effect q
rise in silver and prevent withdrawal OF
gold. Both England aud France ought to
make most strenuous efforts to rehabilitate
silver. The United States government Is
well disposed toward the project.
M. Rouvier, minister of finance, res ponding,

situation was Great Britain, owing to the re-
lations OF that government with India.
The key to tho situation was in London
The French government was disposed to
give its delegates instructions favoring an
increase in the value OF silver, but these
would be subordinate to the instructions
given to the British delegates. In the mean
