A French traveller in Asia sends lie
/ Temps an account Of tho last wedding OF
tho octogenhrian Prince Touli, son Of the
/ late Emperor Min Mang Of Anam, and
1 greatuncle Of the actual 16-year-old SOW
/ ereign Of whom he was a regent. Toui's
palace is in q grove Of bamboos and giant
( bananas. HQ has been in the course of his
I life tho husband Of 80 spouses, Of whom
/ but "a survive, not enough. to watch over
his tomb and praise him when he is dead.
/ He Is doing, therefore, all he can to fill the
] places Of tho half dozen departed ones with
six young beauties likely to survive him
for a great many years. Touli had his
palace docked out on one Of the recent
wedding days with flags, French and Ana
mite He stood at the outer door to well
come his guest. The bridegroom's head
dress was long piece Of violet Grape
wound round his head with an end falling
over his shoulder, a tunic Of crimson silk
devoid Of folds and reaching to the knees,
and wide yellow trousers. He was bent In
two from age but went through all tho
polite ceremonial tho occasion required
without apparent fatigue.
There was a wedding breakfast, but tho
bride did not como into it, or any of the
"a wives. The menu was Of alternate
French and Anamite dishes. As the fete
was family affair, no domostios were adj
mitted to it. All the service was performed
by Tuuli sons. They were Of all ages from
] to 30. They served with sweet serious
ness Touli said that there were 80 sons
present, not to speak Of the grandsons,
and he had so many daughters that he for
got tho number. His first son is man
DARN roputed to be a great scholar, and
tho second is conservator Of imperial
tombs. Both seemed to look up with rev
erence to 3oull and watched attentively
for his orders

Fallen Coliseum to Be Rebuilt.

Tho work of reoonstructing the great
Coliseum building will be begun without
delay, the directors Of the company having
completed all arrangements and lot all
contracts. No preoaution which can tend
to the safety of the building while In
course Of erection and to its permanent
stability viii be overlooked No more
rigid system Of inspection OF material and
method Of construction has ever been de-
visod. When once the monster building is
completed, it will be firm as the rocks
All of tho structural iron and steel work,
which will comprise the greater part Of
the building, win be subjected to the sew
eral tests. Every bolt, beam and truss
will be subjected to strains greatly In ex-
cess Of what they will ever have to bear In
the building before being put into use.
All this iron and steel work has been de-
signed by Carl Bindor civil engineer,
whose plans were carefully inspected and
fully Endorsed by othce engineers who
were called into Chicago

WoRLD's FAIR HOTELS.

by Wholesale.
Some Of that class Of structures in Chi
oago known as Worlds fair hotels" seem
to have been destined toa peculiar fate
The better GLASS OF them are still in use
either as hotels, fat buildings or apart
ment houses. The cheapest Of these struc-
lures have nearly all disappeared With
few Of thom final disposition is a more
difficult problem. These are too good to
be sacrificed to make kindling wood and
not good enough, other In design or con-
struotion, to attract tenants. Since the
grand rush of exposition days they are
deserted One Of them, which stands on a
busy South Side thoroughfare, bears big
sign with this inscription. "For Sale
Doors, windows, window sashes with
weights, jambs, castings, laths and plank
ing and other portions Of this building"
The building Is still intact, but it will
be sold pieoemeal. II one wishes to buy a
window, the sign invites purchase.
The man in charge Of the building said
he would rather sell the whole thing but
he couldn't and therefore he would sell as
much of it as he could.
If some one wanted to. buy the front
door, would you sell it?" he was asked.

A good theatrical story is told of Herr
Woltcrsdorf, the German manager and ac-
tor. One Sunday, in the winter, no left
the Stadt thoater aud drove to his little
playhouse, "Auf den Hansen" outside
the town. The play announced on the bills
was 'Kabale ind Lieho. The audience
consisted Of one solitary person. Never
theless Woltcrsdorf Insisted on beginning
the play, to the chagrin of his company,
who expected that the empty playhouse
meant holiday for the actors. They took
the widest liberty with the text, and
scarcely word reached the audience.
Horoupon the solitary audience stood up
and demanded that the play should be duly
rendered according to the playful. Gar
rest the publior' said the grim manager
to a policeman who lurked behind one Of
the pillars. The officer seized the audi
ence, saying, 81 arrest you for disturbing
the course Of a public entertainment. To
the great relief of the actors, the whole
"publio" was then marched off to tho
watchhouse, and the plaF camo to an end.

The Monroe county court has appointed

As the Bible makes u favorito Of the
horse, the patriarch, and the prophet, and
the evangelist, and the apostle stroking
his sleek hide and patting his rounded
neck and tenderly lifting his exquisitely
formed hoof and listening with thrill to
the champ Of his bit, so all great natures
in all ages have spoken Of him in encomi-
astio terms. Virgil in his Gcorgics almost
seems to plagiarize from this description
in the text, SO much arc the descriptions
alike-tho description Of Virgil and the
description of job. The Duke of Yelling
ton would not allow any one irrcyerently
