Jarbeau has frequently been called
symphony in gray. and she is gray and
silver from her tiny slippers and silken
tights to the nodding p1umes on her
large Gainsborough hat. The cape is
of the famous glass materi i that at
tracted so much attention at the worlds
fair. Of course, as this costume shows
Miss Jarbeau's figure Off to the best adj
vantage, it is considered by most of her
admirers the most charming. The last
dress is Spanish, and Miss Jarbeau's
favorite. 1t has skirt with ruffles
upon ruffles of scarlet chiffon, and an
ample green overdress bordered with
scarlet; scarlet bodice and Spanish
jacket and glrdle of green velvet heav-
lily embroidered and fringed with gold
and iridescent beads, with large
cluster of red roses in her hair, there is
no doubt but that Miss Jarbeau in this
looks a perfect Spanish type.

THE FIRST CoMMoNER.
Speaker of the House Gets a Big
Salary and a Title.


Salary and a Title.
New York Tribune.
The first eommoner In the land, title
conferred by statute on the speaker of
the house of commons several centuries
ago, occupies a magnificent official
residence on the river side of that gor-
geous pile known as the house of parIia-
ment, and devotes considerable portion
of his large salary to official entertain
ments while parliament is in session.
These entertainments take the shape of
dinners and levees, at both of which
the gentlemen who attend are expected
to appear either in uniform or court
dress, the ordinary evening dress being
strictly forbidden.
The speaker himself received his
guests III black velvet court suit, knee
breecheS, with silk stockings, steel
handled sword and beautiful lace ruffies
round the neck and wrists. He is at.
tended on such occasions by his official
train-Dearer (who on state occasions
carries his train), his purse-bearer, his
gentleman-in-waitin and his chaplain.
The banqueting hall, where his din
ners take place look out to the north,
aud from its windows may be seen
the long stretch of the Thames embank-
mert, with its perfect fairyland Of cleo
trio lamps and moving lights. The
table and huge sideboards are loaded
down with the magnificent old plate
belonging, ex-officio, to the speaker of
the house of commons, and from the
walls look down the portraits of many
famous "FirSt CommOnerSn past and
gone.
The speaker takes wine with old
fashioned grace with each of his guests
in turn, while the health of the queen is
invariably proposed and drunk with
decorous and Sincere formality. The
Office of speaker carries with ii, in ad-
dition to this palatial residence, salary
of $50, 900 and allowances amounting to
almost as much more. Moreover, it is
the privilege of each retiring speaker to
receive seat in the house Of lords, 1t
may be added that the grant OF this
peerage is generally accompanied by
pension of $4,000 year for two gem
erations.

OLD ST. PAUL MAN,
But His Departure Was a Good
Riddance.

RttiuanCG.
The arrest of Col. III. FL. Finley, of
New York, on the charge of engaging
in conspiracy, by which b III. Groom
was defrauded out of large amount of
money, has been treated as sensation
by the New York papers, all giving the
matter much prominent space. Years
ago Finley WAS one of the best known
residents OF st. Paul. He had very
unsavory record here, and left the
city under black cloud. He
left st. Paul in 1876. The deal in
New York is on par with the charac-
ter of the man. Groom, his victim, is
wealthy Kentuckiau. As stated, Finley
showed him a prospectus of valuable
lands for sale in Texas. introducing
him to one Robert d. Williams, alleged
to be an escaped English convict.
Groom started for Texas with Williams,
and when Chicago was reached the
foundation of the plot was fully laid.
Before Groom parted company with
Williams he was minus all his available
cash, and had no land to show for it.

the political advantage they could
possibly gain by trades or combi-
nations would not offset the en-

The fact is that these men were
asked to take this disagreeable
duty onto themselves and they did
IT. 1t was not their duty to sug-
gest candidates for the different
offices and they did not attempt to
do so. What they were asked to
do was TO examine the endorse
ments of the various applicants
and report upon the most available
ones in their judgment, all things
considered. If they erred in this
respect, it was simply mistake in
judgment.
