down as law that the railroad compa-

stroyed jewelry, he and his employers
must arrange that matter between them

ROYAL Relics.

A writer in LA Vie Contemporaries
has discovered that an old box in the lum-
Der room Of the Louvre museum instead
Of containing archives, as was supposed
by many, is full Of the relics ofroyal per-
sonages-jawbones, shoulder blades,
shanks, ribs and vertebr@. The writer
states that there are among them the
scapula Of Hughes Capet, the thighbone
of Charles v, the shinbones Of Charles
vi and Francis I, the vertebr@ Of Charles
VII and Charles TX, the ribs Of Philippe
le Bel and Louis XII and the lower jaw
bone Of Catherine de Medicis. The au-
thenticity Of these relics is, he says,
proved by papers also found in the box.

CONDITION OF GROUNDS.
Visitors who do not 6Dd the grounds
in apple pie order the 6rss week of the
Exposition should not shoulder tho
entire blame on the management.
The very nature Of tho work, the re-
oeiving of exhibits on temporary rail-
road tracks aud BY trucks, precluded
tho clearing up of the grounds until
the last moment. In the last eight
days prior to the opening, seven were
rainy. and some regular down pours.
The exhibits are still pouring in so
the tracks cannot be removed and
roads and walks put in permanent
order. While some portions OF the
grounds are in good shape to. day,
other parts are almost impossible for
the pedestrian and unless tho weather
changes this condition is not likely to
improve for some time to come. Be.
tween the weather and tardy ex.
hibisors the opening is not propitioue.

that the great Exposition can be said
to have opened under favorable
