toration of Malietoa to the Samoan kingdom was rendered possible, revolt ed, and a bloody warfare began ill 1892, which was not concluded till some time in July of last year, when Mataafa saw that his contest with Malietoa was hopeless one. He retreated to the island of Manono, and there American, German and British warships threatened to lombard him unless he surrendered. Malietoa celebrated his victory ill most barbaric fashion, displaying the heads of Mataafa's followers on polls and in other ways exhibiting his savage nature.
 This year there have been fresh dis turbances i'll Samoa, Tamasese, who was made king by the Germans in 1888, being the leader of the revolt. He had been deported to one of the smaller is- lands, but he could not be controlled. It is not possible to record. all the de- tails of the current complications ill the space at command. It is stated in some quarters that the rebels have gained much native sympathy by reason of the action of Chief Justice Henry c. Ide of Vermont who was formerly United States land commissioner in Samoa and was appointed to his present post in September, 1893, under the Der lin treaty of 1889, by the three signatory powers. It is stated that when there were signs of an outbreak in March last the chief justice disarmed the native forces ill order to secure peace and i'm

FRENCH CABINET
PREMIER CHARLES DUPUY AND HIS
 ASSOCIATES.

The Queer Fluctuations of French Politics.
 This Is the Thirty-third Cabinet Under
 the Republic-SIxetcheso of the Men Who
 Compose It.
 Ministerial changes are so frequent in mercurial France that, although it came without warning, the recent over throw of the Casimer- -Perier cabinet created no particular surprise out side of Paris We who try to keep the run of French political news are ac- customed to that sort of thing, and so we were not at all astonished when M. Charles Dupuy was recalled to tho pre- miership which he resigned last Novem- Der and succeeded in forming a cabinet which appears to be sufficiently vital and cohesive to last until the presiden- tial election of the coming autumn. NJ. Dupuy's first ministry was Overthrown because it was too conservative, and M. Casimer-Perier's was beaten for a simi- lar reason. Now Dupuy is recalled and receives a vote of confidence ill the chamber of deputies with a majority of 3l4 votes.
 The chamber of deputies may well have confidence ill the new premier. Before the echoes of Vaillant's bomb died away on the 9th of last December a loud, firm voice was heard, "Gontle- men, the sitting will continue It was the voice of Charles Dupuy, president of the chamber. He stood upon the plat

 plies. They are made of finely granulat- ed morocco leather, with a backing of paper, on which are printed magnifi cent designs ill lacquer and gold. They are extremely suitable for dining rooms, halls and libraries. Genuine silks are another speciality ill wall decorations. These are composed of q satin surface backed with paper, the whole being em- bossed with magnificent Louis XVI and renaissance effects, the intervals of the ground being printed ill turquoise blue, golden maize, pearl, heliotrope, old pink, etc.
 For those to whom such productions might prove too costly there is manu factured a limo of pressed papers ill which the effects of the real silk are reproduced.
 There are also special stamped papers which reproduce the effects of glazed tiles printed ill blues, reds and browns. Blended friezes arc new thing ill pressed papers, and many beautiful eN- amples of this kind of decoration are shown. Some of the pressed papers are colored to initiate flock papers. There

prisOncd g chiefs, who were sentenced to work upon tko roads, the same as if they were not chiefs at all. Of course King Malietoa approved of this, because such action tended to make him more secure upon his island throne, and his approval has heightened the adverse feeling of his disaffcctcd subjects Nal ietoa is described by those who have met him as a man of inferior mental caliber as well as of the most savage cruelty. When he has distinguished guests to entertain, it is said that he brings out nine or ten music boxes and sets them all going at once. Mentally Mataafa i. said to be upon a much higher plane.
 Notwithstanding their bloody fights, the Samoans arc spoken of by those who profess to know them best as an cXccp- tionally gentle race They arc physic- ally very near perfection. Mir. Klein says that they are wonderfully versed in the worlds affairs, and that many speak the three chief European lam guages fuently. He has many letters from Mataafa, which show him to be a man of keen perceptions and good req soning powers.
 Like most abOrigineS of the isles of the sea, the Samoans do not relish hard work, and so fertile are their islands that it iS nOt necessary for them to make great cXcrtions i'll order to obtain food. As for rainrnt, until the whites invad- cd Samoa the natives were satisfied to be clad in the CircumambiCnt air alone, save for an apron of leaves, and their dwellings are for the most part simplic ity itself. They are circular il form, from 80 to 10 feet ill diameter and with side walls >o low that the houses are spoken of ;> principally roof. ' This latter is cone shaped, matched and rises about 9 feet above the ground. Each house has but one room. but at night this apartment is divided by little tents of mating into sleeping places, under which inEcniOuSly made instruments of torture, consisting of bamboo sticks and mating and used as beds, are placed. Except for their leaf aprons the Samo- ans are clcanly, but inasmuch as these articles of apparel are too fragile to bear washing they are worn uncleanscd till they drop to pieces, The native Sa- moan in his native state Is not pleas ant creature to be near, however. be- cause of the universal custom of smear ing the body with rancid cocoanut oil They bathC tho hair daily in solution of lime to give it a reddish tinge. The nn tive religion, singularlv enough, rcscnl- bles the Greek mythology i'll many way3 and before the introduction of Christiau ity polygarly was largely practiced.

they did anything about 1t. Then they fomented trouble among the natives, and rebellion was started against King Malietoa by native chief named Tam asese Tamasese won with the aid of the Teutons and was made king, the Ger mans depOrting the legitimate monarch. A new treaty was then made with Tam ascse, who granted the Germans special privileges. It was then the Americans and the English who objected, and the STalietoa party among the natives or- canized under new native leader named Mataafa. Each of the three gov ernnents sent its warships there, and 1t ve<S during this period of disorder that hurricane swept all that portion CT the Pacific and wrecked so many war ships, carrying hundreds of brave men to the bottom with the i'll fated craft
 IL was then, too, that Mir. John c. Klein made his record as q newspaper correspondent of exceptional ability.
 Perhaps you do not recall him with out a moments thought. MT. Klein was sent to Samoa by newspaper in New York and one in San Francisco. He became a good friend of Mataafa, and the Germans made big TOW about it. In fact, they got to hate Klein so bitterly that they demanded of this gov ernment that he shou d be obliged to leave Mir. Klein has always claimed that he did no more than his duty in re- porting the facts in what seemed to him the utterly defenseless course of the Germans in making war upon the na- tives- He finally had to take refuge up on a United States man-of-war. He is now Q resident of New York.
 The upshot of all the trouble was a joint treaty, signed at Berlin in 1889, by which Malietoa was restored to the throne and all the three powers were guaranteed equal rights. An advisory board to the king, composed of repre- sentative of each power, was established, and it was hoped that everything would then go on smoothly. But dissatisfac- tion soon arose among the natives. Ma taazh R Whcse sGcgts alone the res

What Paincd Him.

The Abbe d'Aubignac, who wrote ad- mirably on dramatic composition and had instanced many living examples of failure ill that direction, was so impru- dent, after 30 years silence, as to write tragedy himself In the preface he boasted that he, of all dramatists, had ''most scrupulously observed the rules of Aristotle, whose inspiration he had followedr' To this it was replied by one who had suffered from his criticism, T do not quarrel with the Abbe d d'Aubig- nac for having followed the precepts of Aristotle, but cannot pardon the pre- cepts of Aristotle that caused the abbe towrite such a tragedy.

Many are the stories told of the great reverence in which the Scotch people hold the Sabbath. Their methods of showing their reverence, however, are sometimes so remarkable as to draw d smile from others, who may ncverthe less be reasonably strict observers of the ''day of rest. v
 A minister of the kirk told an Amer ican clergyman who was travelling ill Scotland that on one occasion he passed q Sunday ill a little country inn, and as the tiny parlor of the house was exceed ingly close and stutly and the day was warm he started to open one of the windows.
 "What are ye aboot, man?' inquired the landlady, with much severity, enter ing tho room just ill time to prevent the carrying out of the minister's design.
 He meekly explained that he had thought it would be pleasant to have q little fresh air.
 "Eh, mon!' said the landlady, with additional emphasis and severity, ''yc can hae no fresh air ill this house on the Sawbeth. Six days are enow for that, monr'-Youth's Companion.

 Yet he loved her.
 Love is roaring lion going about seeking whom it may devour
 The girl loved him also, but was tempered by judgment and tho cost of house rent, clothes, social demands and that sort.
 As previously mentioned, he loved her, and in time it came to pass that he proposed to her.
 "But, dear George" she urged in the negative, ''you only have $1, 900 year. |"
 This argument rather surprised him, for he had an idea that $1, 200 year was not to be sneezed at.
 "Wen,' he exclaimed, i've can live on that, can't we?'
 She took both his hands in hers and looked straight into his large, innocent eyes.
 "Live on it? Of course we can, you dear boy," she murmured, "but we would look too ridicuous for anything going around without any clothes on, wouldn't we dear?" and poor George went down all ill Q heap Detroit Free Press.

The harbOr of Apia, of which 50 much has been printed during the last few wears, Is situated on UpOlo, the most important and most populous is land of the group, though not the lar gcSt. The harbor of Pago Pago is located on Intuila. The inferior importance of Sawaii, ill spite of its superior site, is due to its physical features. which are quite unlike those of any other of the islands. Its shores are low; q peak, the approaches to which arc gradual. rises i'll the center. and there are no perma- ucnt streams. Iutuila affords the finest scenery. The entire group appears to be of volcanic origin. though the natives possess no traditions of ancient erup- tions. Ill 1867, however, a submarine volcano burst out near Manua, and for fortnight jets of mud and dense columns of sand and stones were projected to height of 2,O00 feet or moro.

BILL DALTON DEAD.
Tho Noted Outlaw Corncrcd and Shot
 Through the Heart.


 ARpMOEE. L T.. June 9-Bill Dalton, the noted outlaw and leader of the Long view bank robbers, lies Il ad in this city, pierced through by winchester bullet. One of his pals visited Ardmore and by incautious talking reused the suspicious of the deputy marshals, who organized and surrounded the robbers near a little town named Elk, about 20 miles distlnt. While the men were taking their position Dalton was seen to como out, look around and immediately return.
 The officers on the cast side were discov cred by him through a window or by some women in the house, and, pistol in har q, he jumped through a window on the north and started to run east. Gloss Hart, one of the deputies, was less than 30 yards from the house and called on him to halt. Dalton turned around, tried to take aim while running, and just then the officer shot. Two jumps in the air were the only motions made. The house was searched, and over 15O letters, besides numerous rolls of crisp bank bills, wero found. The addresses proved him to be Bill Dalton, and the money proved him to bo the lead CT of the Longview bank robbers.

 ties Among the Stamped Papers.
 Decorator and Furnisher says: Noth- ing Is moFc barbarous in interior decora- ton than covering wall space with an all over wall paper pattern, leaving the frieze and ceiling devoid of ornament. This method is pursued by those who know nothing of decorative art and have never made study of decorative requirements of an interior The ceiling of an interior, not being required to support furniture or pictures, and being always in evidence, is naturally tho spot where the finest decorative effects should obtain, and the frieze for this reason also requires decorative treatment. In fact, the real principle of decorating an interior is to start with a plainly tinted dado, increasing the effects of form and color as we approach the frieze, culmi- hating our greatest effects ill the frieze, cove and border of ceiling panel, and al lowing the decorative wave to die off at the center of the ceiling. This is the most appropriate, classic and altogether desirable method of interior mural dec oration.
 New patterns in both hand and ma, chine goods, therefore, as rule, present at least three harmonious diversifica- tions of same-for wall hanging, frieze and ceiling. There are real feathers which mean exactly what the term i'm
