The question Of the reassembling Of the
international monetary conference was con-
sidered at yesterdays cabinet meeting and
1t vas determined to send instructions to
the American ministers abroad to invite
the countries to which they are accredited
respectively to send delegates to the ad-
tourned conference. 1t is not thought the
conference, II it reconvenes, can accom-
plish much, as the European nations are unsl-
terably opposed to the use Of silver as q legal
tender money metal. The utmost the friends
Of silver hope from this conference is that it
will increase the use Of the white metal and will
prepare the way for the ultimate use Of silver
as . legal tender in at least some Of the coun.
tries represented.
Senator Teller had an extended interview
yesterday with Secretary Carlisle in regard to
the conference, and was told by the Secretary
that 1t had been definitely settled that the United
States would send delegates to the conference,
which will meet MAY 80.

The Seven Boys Who Were Drunk.

The seven small colored boys who were ar
rested on Ohio avenue yesterday for being
drunk and disorderly and throwing stones were
the first prisoners to appear before Judge Kim
ball today. Bailif Kendig stood the boys in a
row across the front Of the dock and when ar
raigned they we're divided as to their opinions
OF guilt and innocence.
Policeman Mendenhall went upon the stand
and told the court of the profanity used by the
boys and OF their conduct on Ohio avenue after
they had been made drunk by the liquor they
had taken from a grocery wagon.
None Of the boys parents were in court to
look after them and on account of their youth
the court was at loss to tell exactly how to
dispose of their cases.
Four of the boys said they had been arrested
before and they were fined, the amounts and
defaults being rated according to stheir size.
Theodore Hall, the largest boy, was fined IS or
fifteen days. Jasper Washington and Olive
Wilson. So or five days each, and Benjamin
Belt, 50 or five days. William Lewis, Buck
Brewer and Clarence Smith were released on

Eccenfricities In Palaces.

The King of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had a palace construct
ed which lie can submers5 in The sea at
will and SO live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has indulged in eccentricities Of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several Of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them TO pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Gar Paul, ancestor Of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed a room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and froin full
uniforms singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia.
One of the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall in a cascade over the gateway, and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed be-
side his dinner table life size figure OF
a tiger devouring an English officer, the
roar of the beast and the shrieks of the
victim being initiated by hidden machin.

The Tower of Silence.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves TO defile any Of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession (white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier TO the Tower of Silence. AT the
entrance they look their last on the dead,
and the corpse bearers-a caste OF such
carry 1t within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after,
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not to
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there Is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums OF
money are given away in memoir OF tes

She Loss of Life or Two Apparently Not
of Much Account.
The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
sica. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others GuagnO,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the presidents Of the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
| In consequence of certain disorders that
had already occurred, the mayor Of Soc
cia issued IN edict to the effect that none
of the inhabitants Of Guagno was to en-
| ter the village that day.
The inhabitants Of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and 90 of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
| date had been defeated, marched upon
| SOccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes-not armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were to
come no farther. The mayor of Guagno
! cried Fire. There was a general vol
| ley IIOul HIS lOllONtIS, anu IIlC l"O SCI1-
| darmes fell dead. They both bore ex-
| cellent characters. One of them had been
"a years in the service, had been proposed
for the military medal and leaves wife
and three children"
| Such was the first account in the daily
paper Of Bastia. 1t occupied about seven
| inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect (Or he, too,
may possibly have had a significant
warning), for in an article three inches
! long the account was somewhat quail
fed, and there was this important emen-
| dation, ''It seems we were not correct in
stating that it was the mayor of Guagno
who gave the order to fire upon the gen.
| darmes."
The third day there were just two
lines, I'm consequence of the unfortu-
nate affair at Soccia it is probable that
the mayor of Guagno will send in his
resignation" That was all. took i'll

of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.
OF superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to the
efficacy of a dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed TO guide
the souls OF the dead to heaven and TO
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom
ary to lead a dog into the chamber of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the tower.-Nine-

To DepOrt Consumptives.

Since the great majority of the medical
fraternity of Massachusetts have recent
ly subscribed TO the belief that consump-
tion is contagious disease, it has been
borne in upon many besides those direct
ly interested in consumptive persons
through family or other ties, that the
proposed work of the new Invalid Aid
society, one of the latest of Bostons
benevolent institutions, is business as
well as benevolence. a moments refiec-
ton convinces every one that if disease
whose annual harvest in this country,
and especially in this district, dwarfs all
the other diseases. including even the
epidemics wherever there are such, is
communicable, as now appears, then it
everybody's business, in common self de-
fense, to promote the migration of con-
sumptives and fund for the deporta-
ton of cOnsuInptives too poor to travel
is public hygienic precaution.-Boston
