The suea Canal company's Provision for

The Suez Canal Company's Provision for
 tho Aged Engineer and Eis Family.
 It is truly characteristic of the warm hearted and fcrgiving nature of the average Frcnchman, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, that not a word of protest should have been raised any, where against the grant by the Suez Canal company of an annual allowance of about tyyenty-four thousand dollars { to the De Lesseps family, even those whose entire fortunes had been swal- lowed ID in the disastrous Panama en- { erprise expressing their satisfaction ;t the measures thus adopted to pre- serve their illustrious coIapatriot from want. Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, the De Lesseps had actually been reduced to penury, and their situation was most precarious. \ 0t only all the shares which Fcrdi- nand de Lesseps possessed in the Suez Canal company, but even his fees as director, the annuity assigned to him personally by the comoany, and all the money he had been able to lay aside,
 were attached by the liquidators Of the Panama bankruptcy. The only re- sources that remained at the disposal Of the countess were the house which she owned in the Avenue M0ntaigne and the Chateau de Ia Chesnaye, both Of which were more source Of ex- pcnse than of economy, and were mortgaged up to the very hilt besides.
 With the object of ,avcrting all dan ,fl co1s 1.rrf fIo Of 1n count the allowance just granted by :he Suez company has been made il favor of the countess and Of the thir- teen children of tho count. The two eldest of these are Charles and Victor, who are the sons of his first wife. Of the eleven children of the present Countess de Lesseps three are serving in the army, one is married to that Count de Gontaut-Rir0n whose fnan- cial difficulties were theme of much discussion in the Parisian press two years ago, and the remainder are still dependent on their father and mother for care and maintenance. Meanwhile the grand old Frenchman, now in his cighty-eighth year, passes his exist ence in a sort of semi-somnolent con dition in the arm chair, which he only leaves for his bed. lie can no longer walk, he has become stone deaf, and when he is not gazing in silence at his children he reads newspapers, care being taken to select those which con tain no uncomplimentary references to his name. Having lost all noticn Of time, those placed before him are most ly of dates four and five years ago, when he was still in the hcyday of his glory, and when the press, still richly subsidized by the Panama managers, was never weary of referring to him as ''the greatest and most illustricus Of all Frenchmen." To tl.is day no one, not even the countess, can say with any degree of certitude whether he has any knowledge CT even inkling of the misfortunes that have overtalzen himself and his son Charles. At any rate, he has given no evidence thereof, and there is a gen eral disposition to hope that his once grand intellect passed into it's present somnolent state in such manner as to have spared hiIn any slch sorrow.

Street Singers in Paris.

A curious light has been thrown on the profits of street singers in Paris by wild lark in which some amateur vocalists. indulged lately. Disguised in dilapidated clothes, one posing as an Arab, they made the tour of the Grand boulevard, singing before the cafes, and in one day cleared one hun dred and tventy-one francs (twenty- four dollars). to which they added another sixty-two francs (twelve dol lars) the same night by taking in the Latin quarter. Their stock in trade was Gascon song, which the public tcok fer a native Arab air, and senti- mental French ballad,

LOST AND FOUND.
$ Remarkable Experience in the Life Of
 aa Eminent LayvYcr.

.
 Che of the most re1narl1a ble stories Of loosinG and finding is the following: It seems that Q certain eminent En- Glish lawyer was on Q visit at MintO in the lifetime of the second earl Of that name, and day or two before the hearing of an important case, in which he had been retained as consul. lie had brought with him a bundle of papers connected with the suit in qucs- tion, and these he took up with him to his bedroom. On the following day the packet could nowhere be found. Careful search was, of course, made, but quite in vain, and eventually the advocate had to go into court without it.
 Years passed without any tidings of the missing bundle, til the gentlemen chanced to be once more a guest at Nlinto, and occupying the same bed room. The morning after his ar rival he awoke to see the 1ong-lost pa- pers lying on the dressing table. The presumption is, that on the first oc- casion he hid them in his sleep, and on the second visit he found them in his sleep; but where he hid them and found them has never been discovered.

HnM CInYcs Grom.

The small evergreen tree from which cloves are taken was originally Q Ea- tive of the Spice islands. but ib is now cultivated in warm climates in all parts of the world. The clovc Of com merce is the unopened flower cf tie tree. They are quite small, but grow in large clusters among the branches. After gathering, the buds are smoked by a wood fire and dried in the sun. Both the taste and smell of the cloves depend on the quantity of oil they con- tain. Sometimes the oil is separated from the cloves before they are sold, and the odor and taste are in c0nse- quence much weakened. If you de- sire to know something of the form of the bud n the natural state soak few cloves for short time in hot water. The petals of the flower will soften and readily unroIl.

OMAHA, NEB., Feb. 12.-Nebraska is
snow-bound in the strictest sense of the
word. For the last "a hours terrific

State, piling the snow in enormous
drifts. The fall has been about 10
inches, and following the eight-inch
fall of snow Thursday last makes tue
depth at least 90 inches.
The cold is extremely severe. With
few exceptions Omaha traffic of every
description is suspended. The trains in
every direction last night were aban-
doned. The mail trains are being got
through with difficulty. The high
wind has been piling the snow in great
drifts.

A ROWLING BLIZZARD IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, HI, Feb. 12.-tThe worst
blizzard that has struck this city, so far
as the weather bureau records show, for
% years, is raging here. Street traffic is
greatly impeded and walking is accom-
panied with great danger to life and
limb. Many persons have already been
injured by being blown to the ground,
against walls and street posts by the
wind.
The velocity is 80 miles an hour, the
highest ever recorded for this city, and
almost double the velocity of the wind
which is blowing blizzard in the west
ern States. -..-.
WOMEN LIFTED OFF THEIR FEET.
The wind was so furious at the corners
where sky-scrapers are built, that extra
policemen gave all their attention to the
pedestrians. Dozens of women were
lifted off their feet and blown to the
ground or else pushed across the streets
until they came in violent contact with
walls, posts and other distractions.
Mrs. Brahany of 1851 South Clinton
street, charwoman at the Art Insti-
tute, was lifted in the air and dashed
against the fire plug at the Dearborn
and Van Buren, street corner. Two of
her ribs were broken and it is believed
she is internally injured. She lay in
the snow drift until men rushed to her
rescue and the police ambulance took
her home.

do he primarily caused the disaster. They
also found that the railroad company

tween Newark and the Hackensack

DETROIT, MIcH., Feb. 13.-Yester-
days severe storm has subsidized, but the
streets are still in a blockaded condi-
ton. The Michigan Central railroad
reports things in better shape this

road is still in bad shape. Two passen-
ger traius, one west-bound and the other
east-bound, were stalled in the same
snow bank between Webberyille and
Williamson early last evening, and

show that the blizzard has spent its
force, leaving traffic in demoralized
condition.

career on the Board of Trade last week,

ment that the coat is the seamless gar
ment worn by our Saviour. This pro-
vision is made in view of the fact that
the seamless coat is understood to be
preserved in the cathedral at Treyes.

All day yesterday Secretary Herbert
waited for the dispatch that would tell
the fate of Admiral Stanton and his
officers and crew, but no message came.
When the secretary went to bed at an
carly hour in the morning the expected
telegram had not appeared, and he
hurried to the navy department this
morning to see if any information had
been received there.
Nearly every naval officer on duty in
Washington had been to the Secretary's
office or the Bureau of Navigation to
ask for news, and many of them were
heartsick as they turned away after re-
ceiving negative answer.
But the good news was not long de-
layed. At 1915 o'clock the venerable
messenger who sits outside the door of
Secretary Herbert's office answered a
call on Mr.. Herbert's private telephone
and was told by the person at the other
end that he had an important message
for the Secretary of the Navy. Mr..
Herbert's private secretary answered the
call with alacrity, and this is the vel.
come message that came over the wire
This is the office of the Panama Railroad
Company in New York. We have lust re-
ceived cablegram from Colon stating
that the City of Para has arrived there
with the officers and crew of the Kear-
sarge all safe and well.
A few minutes after II o'clock, Secre-
tary Herbert received dispatch from
Admiral Stanton, confirming the news
sent by the Panama Railroad Company.
1t was very brief and read as follows:

TROUBLE AT GREYTOWN.


American Property Said to Have Been
Seized But Report Not Believed.
NEW YORK, April 24-Statements were
published today to the effect that the
Nicaraguan government had seized all
the. property of the Nicaraguan canal
company at Greytown on judgment for
an alleged debt and bought in by
Spaniards for $4,000. At the offices of
the company in this city today it was
stated that in order to protect the
Nicaraguan mail steam navigation and
trading company for number of credit
ors, some friendly judgments were OBJ
tanned and are held by friends of the
company.
There is no truth therefore, according
to the company in the report that the
Nicaraguan canal company's property
was seized.
A dispatch from Washington says:
The state department has had no recent
advice from Bluefields, so it is not posi-

LAST DAY OF THE TARIFF.
No More Speeches 1t as a Whole After
Today.


Today.
WASHINGTON, April %. After the
morning hour had passed, the tariff bill
was laid before the senate and Senator
Mills. (of >Texas,) was recognized.
There was good attendance in
the galleries and number of
representatives from the other house
were present, this being the last day of
the debate on the bill as whole.
Senator Mills opened by saying that
the bill did not entirely meet his ap-
prevail But Legislation was necessary as
a matter of compromise. He might offer
some amendments. But if they were
rejected he should vote for the bill. 1t
was a parliamentary measure and every
Democrat should sink his own prefer
ences thus far. He would, he said, have
levied duty coffee, tea and sugar.
The Democratic theory was that the
government should insure to every man
the enjoyment of every natural right
He should have put on the free list
all articles that require manufacture
for consumption If that were not suffi-
Gent, he should have put tax on ac-
cumulated wealth. All obstacles in the
way of employment of labor should be
stricken down.
The policy of protection, he argued,
had failed to build up a home market for
agriculture
