CLOSE OF THE FESTIVAL.
Immense Throng at the Feast of
Nations on Saturday Evening.

Saturday afternoon the Feast of
Nations was opened for the children,
tho admission for all-comers being
at half price. The attendance was
large and fairly brisk traffic was
done by the booths, especially in the
line of refreshments.
There was perfect crush in the
evening. When the procession of
the nations formed it was virtually
dovetailed into the crowd on both
sides. To make move was like sol
wing an intricate mechanical puzzle.
Somehow or other a move was made,
however, but it did not even reach
quarter speed of slow marching the
first time round. The column rather
pinched its way along with sort of
pawl and ratchet movement. No
body could see anything but few
details at once--a flag, the head of a
spear, cluster Of bayonets, here a
corouet and there plume, now and
then a gaudy. colored garment.
Considerable friction of feeling
was engendered during the process.

COMEDY OF ERRORS IN PARIS.
A Police Official Nearly Lynched on
Suspicion of Being a Murderer.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Paris is just now shaken with unholy
mirth over the tribulations of a commits
sary of police. A certain lady went to
the Bon Marche the other day and stole
quantity of valuable lace. She was ar
res ted and forthwith turned over to the
police The culprit had been invited out
to dine that evening, and begged the au-
thorities to let her notify her expectant
host, but as the authorizes are not tender
TO thieves, they calmly ignored her re-
quest. That evening NJ. Prelat, the
police official from the left bank of the
Seine, hired a cab.and went to the guilty
woman's rooms. There he found
so many stolen goods that he rummaged
through the entire place and, packing all
the stolen effects in big black trunk, got
his cabman to aiC him in taking it down to
the carriage. The next morning the gen.
tlemen whose dinner was spoiled by the
absence of his fair guest called to see
what was the matter. He rang and
pounded unavailingly, so the concierge
produced pass key, and they both stood
aghast atutne terrible condition of the
apartment. The case was plain; a male
factor, probably an anarchist, had got in
on some pretext; the disorder of the
room denoted that his victim had fought
dered her and stuffed her corpse and all
the valuables he could find into missing
black trunk.
The friend flew off with cries of despair
to notify the police of the quarter of this
awful crime. The concierge related the
whole affair to a knot of curious bystand-
ers, which speedily expanded into dense
crowd. The police took down the descrip-
ton of the criminal who stole the black
trunk and the description of the cabman
who drove a white horse, ordered the
locks changed on the apartment so that
no one could enter without the knowledge
of the police, and then withdrew with
dignity. Half an hour later, while the
crowd was still staring at the murder
stained house, the cab with the white horse
drove up to the door, and the supposed
murderer alighted. He was instantly
denounced by the irate concierge, and,
being utterly unconscious of his own sup
posed misdeed, was nearly lynched by
the furious crowd before he suf-
ficiently realized the situation to
produce his police badge, when
the crowd respectfully dropped
him The unoffending commissaire then
found himself locked out of the apart
ment, owing to the precautions of the
police, and was forced to send for his col
league to open the door for him. His
search for stolen goods was successful, as
he netted about $1,000 worth. The only
people in Paris who do not perceive the
farcical side of this situation, are first,
M Prelat, who came near being lynched
and was knocked about roughly by the
mob for the preparation of crime that
never was committed the oflcious friend,
who raised all this pother, and the lady
herself, who is gloomily meditating be-
hind prison bars on the Inconvenience at

commandment: Thou shalt not be
