CLEMENCEAU ON THE RACK.
Attempt to Force Him to Make Crimi-
mating Admissions,

PARIS, Jan. 2l.-M. Clemenceau has
been placed undor the screws of a court
inquiry in an effort to compel him to
make admissions of his sup
posed knowledge of Panama Canal
affairs. He was confronted with M.
Stephane. The examination was pri-
vate, but according to the Petit
Journal, listeners on the outside
heard enough to convince them
that very lively encounter was in
progress within. Clemenceau stoutly
maintained his denials of any knowl-
edge of corrupt or criminal conduct on
the part of M. Herr or anybody
else, and used language, that
in any other place, would have
been promptly followed by a challenge
to a duel. Clemenceau stood his ground
under all the pressure and the exam
ination closed without any admission of
wrong on his part, and 1t is understood
without additional damage to Herr.

of mourning to-day. Business is sus-
pended and the public schools closed,
while the citizens gather to pay the last

eminent and best loved townsman.
Presldent-elect Grover Cleveland ar

was accompanied only by his private
secretary. The train was two hours late,
and great crowd had assembled to see
Mr.. Cleveland. Co. K, of the Sixteenth

extending from the train to the car
rage. Between these lines Mr.. Cleve-
land, on the arm of Col. H. c. Corbin,
marched, followed by Mr.. Webb and
Bircharu Hayes. Mr.. Cleveland was at
once driven to the Hayes resi-
dence. At the door he was
met by members of the family of
the dead ex-President, and to each the
Pres1dent-elect gave a hand clasp and
spoke few low words. In the hallway,
too, was n. B. Bacon, of Toledo,

every hand the emblems of mourn

sorrow of the community. At 8 O'Clock
in the morning the school children of
the city, marching in fine order, with
the national flag at their head, and fol-
lowed by the civil societies of Fremont,
passed in long, impressive process
sion through the large dining room at
Spiegel Grove, where the remains lay
in state. Everything in the wide, sunny
room was in keeping with the simple
life of the departed statesman. The
elegant plain cedar casket: in black
cloth, rested in the center of the room,
with no decoration but three palm
branches, tied with purple ribbon, at
the foot, the gift of Mr.. and Mrs. David

French Imitation Pearls.

The best grade of French imitation
pearls cannot be distinguished from real
ones, even by the most expert jewellers,
unless the string is handled, when the
difference in weight becomes apparent,
the real pearl being heavier than an imi-
tation one.
An American lady who herself owned
valuable jewels once told me that she
and her husband were shown on one &C.
casion by her Partisan jeweler cluster
of strings of pearls, half of which were
real and the other half imitation, and
they were requested to point out the
real ones. They both inspected the
pearls long and with the most minute
care, and finally indicated their choice.
Tho gentleman had indeed fixed upon a
string of genuine ones. but the lady,
though she continually wore and had
had in her possession for years mag
nificent necklace of real pearls, forfeited
her claim for discrimination by picking
out one of the imitation ones.
The very finest of the French imita-
ton pearls are expensive, costing from
$40 to $l5 string. Oddly enough, the
longer they are kept the better they be-
come, as the passage of years lends a
yellow tinge to the wax, which causes
the pearls to look at once more lustrous
and more real. The pearls prepared for
embroideries, dress trimmings. etc, are
merely small beads filed with wax and
lack the careful shaping, as well rs the
inner coating of fish scale liquid that
make the pearls manufactured for neck
laces and earrings soperfectly deceptive.

Fad For Large Portraits.

about the costliest fad, however, which
