THE QUICKEST MAN IN ROME"
A "Cabby" Who Says He Is n Relative OF
tho President of FrIncc.


No ono in Rome was happier over the
election of NJ. Cusimir- Pcricr as prcsi-
don't of tho French republic than Domcn-
leo Picrgcntili, tho owner and driver of
street coach which stands every morn
ing i'll certain corner waiting for paSson-
gcrs. When Domcnico took up his paper
containing the announcement of tho cleo
ton, he was almost spccchlcss from joy.
When he had recovered himself sufficient
ly, he ran to his colleagues, crying:
How glad that makes mo! n relative of
mine president of Frunccl WhntNn hon
or! l am the luckicst man in R0flfc!'
Domenico, to celebrate the occasion fit
tingly, invited all his brother Jchus to u
great dinner i'll the Ostcria del CYCLIC Iii
Fircnzi and there toasted his famous
relative for many hours.
The reporters of tho Roman papers nat
urally heard of Domcnicos tale and sought
interviews with the bravo fellow
"Cnsimir pcricr is your rclative?" they
asked
"Undoubtcdly. gentlemen" camc tho
answer, and y smile of pride spread over
the bronZcd features of Domcnico.
"IIow is that!''
"Ecco! In the year 1876 Jerome Casi-
mir Pcricr, Il brother of tho president, was
in Rome. had the honor during his en-
trio sojourn to drive him about, going
once even as far rs tho Castclli Romani.
Before his departure Jerome Casimir- Pc
rier, the brother of the president, sent for
me.
Dear Doincnico," said tho brother of
the president to me, Il am going away to-
morrow. But you have served me so we'll
that L wish to give you some memento
which will provo that 1 shall always re-
I member you. Say what it shall be.
ENcclcnza, I replied, and Domcnico
proudly drew himself to his full height,
L have served you, and you have paid me,
and my claim is settled. If, however, you
wish to leave me some mcmcnto, you need

A Famou. fenian Dead.

Providence, Feb. 1s.-The funeral OF
Gen. Frank Byrne, the famous "No L." Of
the Land League conspiracy. occurred to-
day. and was the largest in Providence for
many years. The Hibernian Rifles acted
as guard of honor and were accompanied
by nearly 1900 men. representing the
various Irish secret and nationalist organ
izations of the state.
lBYrne was famous In the days of the
"skirmishing fund" In 1881 there were
numerous outrages In Great Britain and
Ireland, which the police said were COM
united by men sent from New York bv the
Fenian organization. The police claimed
to have captured documents showing that
the director of the campaign of outrage
vas spoken of as mo. l." and they de-
clared that No. was Frank Byrne, a n oted
Fenian of New York. 1t was thought a,
one time that the British government
would ask Byrne's extradition. It would
have been refused, for there was no evi.
dence against him. Byrne enjoyed his
notoriety aud made no denial OF the nc.
cusatlons.

RosALrA, Feb. 1s.-fSpecial. IA peculiar
case OF theft was unearthed here last week
and the thief now languishes in the county
Jail at Colfax. although il is generally be-
lieved he SHOULD be in the asylum. John
Mclean is the name given by the thief.
and his appearance indicates anything but
culprit. He Is q well-appearing. nicely
dressed man of about 30 years with q
bright face and open countenance. He
stopped at the Iowa lodging house several
days, and soon after his arrival an over
coat and numerous other articles OF wear
ing apparel disappeared and as Mclean
was seen with such articles IN his poses
sion. which he was trying to pawn, suspi-
cion fell upon him. Later q razor, two
silk handkerchiefs and other small articles
were missed from the room of Frank JEFF
fries, one of the dodgers. Mclean was
seen with the articles, which he was try
ing 20 pawn. When questioned regarding
the matter he replied: ''Yes. have the
articles Here is the razor and the hand
kerchiefs," and drawing them from his
pocket asked If they were the articles
wanted. He was Immediately arrested
and taken before Justice of the Peace
Brown. where he pleaded guilty to petit
larceny and was fined $50. In default of
payment he was taken TO the county Jail
by Marshal Hastings. The prisoner had
several dollars in silver, was dressed in a
good suit of clothes and the cause for his
crime and subsequent actions are only ex.
planned by insanity.

Chehalis News.

CHEHALrs, Feb. 1s-ISpeciai. IA move
ment has been started At Toledo to petit
ton the next legislature to cut in two the
salaries of all county officers. II is the
outcome of agitation started by the Iidimgs
of that town, . very bright little sheet
which the Populists are claiming as their
latest accession. The petitions are being
distributed throughout the county, and
great many signatures are being attached.
PEOPLE who sign evidently do so under the
impression that the salaries of county
officers largely add to the burden of taxa
ton, which is not the case in this county.
All salaries amount to $i0,0 600 year in
round numbers, and the greater part Of
this amount is paid from fees received. so
that if the petitioners should succeed, the
average taxpayer would find slight relief.
The county commissioners went over to
Toledo to inspect tho bridge across the
Cowlitz at that point this week. This
bridge cost several Thousand dollars and
was put in about two years ago. Tho
river has been unusually high several
times lately, and the bridge is said to be
in dangerous condition. Commissioner
Young denies that this is the case. but adj
mIts that it will be necessary to do $500 or
$500 worth OF work on it at once.
Charles Gregg. of Jackson prairie, met
with a severe and painful accident near
his home this week. While working In
the timber q tree tell upon him. He has
been suffering great deal for seyeral
days and it is feared his injuries are dan
gerous. Mr.. Gregg is q brother OF City
Treasurer Georg ca. Gregg.
A colored man named Miller was brought

1t is understood that the property own
ers delinquent on account of the assess
ment for building the sub-sewcr in district
No. 1 have decided to pay up. Attorneys
were engaged short time ago to look up
the matter with view to resisting the
city. which had begun suit, but it appears
that the law was complied with in the
building Of the sewer. and now there is
nothing to do but pay up. 1t occasioned con-
siderable merriment about town when sew
eral weeks ago the marshal posted notices
of sale on the property of prominent citi-
gems who never had been known to fail to
pay taxes or assessments before. Their
delay this time was not due to o desire to
evade tho tar, but because they did not be-
lieve the assessment was justly appor.
