The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1894-12-20

There is not much likelihood that any
thing of the kind will occur. We want
our Tour Eiffel for our great interna-
tional exhibition of 1900. Early next
month all the designs for this will be
in, and the work on that chosen will
straightway be put in hand.
By the way, one Of the unique exhlb-
its which big Partisan entrepreneur
has been commissioned to prepare Is
decidedly interesting. M. Ercole has
undertaken to discover and produce a
collection of centenarians representing
all nations, and as nearly as possible
he proposes to find man and woman
of each country who was born in the
year 1900, so that he will get all his
people as closely of an age as can be.
This looks like very big order, but
Maiden creole declares that it is one OF
those difficult jobs he loves to tackle,
and he has little doubt that his con-
gress of centenarians will be one OF the
most interesting as we'll as one OF the
most unique in the whole exhibition.
He has already notified his agents in
various quarters of the globe to keep
their eyes open to secure instances.
Preparations are being made for a
larger influx of Americans to Paris than
ever before during next spring. The
known prediction of Nine. Casimir-
Perier for the people of the great sister
republic across the Atlantic has raised
hopes in the minds of all sorts and
conditions of trades people that in the
coming spring there will be many en-
tertainments given by the President
and his beautiful wife, especially to
their American friends. Nine. Perier
counts among her most intimate friends
Miss Harriet Dayson, the lovely
daughter of wealthy Illinoisan, who
is now residing in Paris. Miss Day
son is expected to create quite SEN
sation here during the coming winter
festivities. She has already been seen
at the Coincide Franchise in Nine.
Perier's private box, and her beauty
has been commented upon in the
! OdullOS anu ObucI dlloloh hO"o
papers. 1t is said that Nine. Garnet
will not, as was at first supposed, en-
tirely retire from public social life, but
that at the expiration of her term OF
mourning, she will once again give
some of those brilliant receptions
which added so much to the almos
regal display of her late husbands
Presidential administration. Nine
Carnot, like many other Frenchwomel
of note, has strong political views ant
convictions. Like her husband, sh'
is a staunoh Republican, with the wore
"Advance" writ large on every though
and idea, and her salons were and will
be doubtless the meeting place of al
that is best and most forward in tn
brains and ambitions of France.
Nine. Carnot is another fervid ad
mirer of all that is best in the Ameri
can character, and numbers among he
intimates not few of our countrymel
and women.
1t is not an unusual thing to refer t
the French people as highly nervou
and excitable people. Not often doe
one come across such case as occurre
in railway train leaving the st. La
; zare station few days ago, when
, man deliberately stopped the train b
