tons intimate friendship with the lead
ers of thought and politics in the
French re public. Mrs Morton made
decided hit in Paris during her hus-
bands term as minister there, and
whenever Frenchmen of eminence
come to New York Mr. Morton is con-
suited in regard to entertaining them.
Duchess Dues has accorded Mr.. Nor
ton the favor of an invitation to her
chateau on more than one occasion.
Very few foreigners and Protestants
are SO honored by this naughty, wealthy
and aristocratic lady. Our former
vice president was obliged to decline
these invitations, however; but his
name has been SO connected with
French matters that it became easy to
infer that he would become one of the
Gallic tribe. His interests, moreover,
are largely ramified with European
financial tangles. The banking house
of Morton, Rose 81 Co. in London oper-
ates on a gigantic scale, and here in
New York his bank is a great money
center. Those friends of Mr. Morton
who were indignant over his failure to
secure denomination last year have
consoled themselves, in view of what
took place in November. but they
mean to vindicate the banker by MAX
ing him running mate with Harrison

EussrAy FLAGSHIP.

Gently going about among the Four
Hundred and having all sorts of nice
things said about him. But it has not
vet been revealed that the Russians had
with them a party of spies, who, all
the time the vessels remained IN the
river, were industriously Investigating
the Russian colony in New York. with
view to taking advantage of the new
Cleveland treaty with the ear 1t is
grave question whether even an accu-
sation of disloyalty to the czar would
not be enough to deport a Russian
from the United States to his own
country, whence he could be legally
banished to Siberia. Hence if the stu
dents who recently met in Moscow and
denounced despotisIn had fled to New
York instead of to Turkey they could
under the Cleveland treaty be taken
from our territory and punished by the
Russian government. They could not
be taken from Turkey.
However, all the time that the spies
were going about New York's slums,
the cars relative was visiting New
York's palaces. In one of them he met
and admired a young lady, who. it
seems, did not prove Indifferent to his
attentions. The affair was assuming
serious aspect when the editor OF a
society weekly got wind of it, and.
needless to say, saw the making of a
fine story, especially as the wealthy
and aristocra tic relatives of the young
lady were not friendly to his paper.
But day or two before his journal
was to appear, who should call to see
him but the young lady herself So
persuasive person did she prove to be
that not word about her and the
royal susceptible was printed But
enough information did leak out to
make it certain that one reason no
Russian feet will remain long in our
waters is that the court of st. Peters
burg does not wish to have one of it's
ornaments making himself conspicu-
ously lovelorn for the edtfcation Of
Gothamites.

ROOF GARDENS.
They Are Successful I'm New York-Many
More Are Wanted.

The experiment of giving light the
atrical entertainments upon a roof, APP
propriately decorated and lighted and
open to every breeze that blows, has
proved so grateful TO the suuumes
populat ation of New York that there are
now four such roof gardens in success
full and popular operation. while talk
of others IN the future IS abundant.
Their success, says the New Yorl
Press, is not surprising, for the closing
of nearly all of the usual resorts o.
amusement during the interval be-
tween the regular dramatic seasons
deprives many people of an ordinary
source of recreation, while the attrac
tions of the evening of relaxstion amid
cool air and more or less diverting
spectacle with more freedom of move
ment, conversation and Refreshments
than are possible in an inclosurcd audi
torium are self-evident.
The popularity of the theatrical roof
garden suggests the application of the
idea in other directions. Already tho

THE FATHER OF MANY ILLS

Constipation leads to multitude OF
physical troubles. 1t is generally the re-

simplest rule of health. Eugene Mckay

from constipation, had taken a great many
different remedies, some of which did me
good for time but only for a time. then

JEFFERSON CITY, No, Aug. 4.-Four
convicts confined in the peniteptiary
hospital regained their liberty this morn
ing and are still at large. The prisoners
took q stretcher used for transporting the
sick, and, converting this into ladder,
mounted the wall. They lowered them
selves 10 the ground by means OF a rope
tied TO an iron railing around one of the
guard houses. THIS was most nervy and
daring piece of business. As the guard WAS
at the time in the little room eating his
lunch, which fact accounts for their not
being seen.
