Plains of Troy.

The plains of Troy, so famed and ffouf-
ished in ancient days, are now barren and
desolate. The sculptor sees no statues, the
architect no remains, and the painter any
thing but picturesque view. &c is fit only
for the colleaian or the moralist. The
classic Scamander is but a muddy stream
winding through an uncultivated plain,
covered with stunted oaks, underwood
and rushes- At the opposite extremity OF
the plain stand the tOmbs of Hector and
Achilles, that of the latter near the Helles
pont, where the Greek feet was moored.
Near Is tho grave OF his friend, Patrocius.
All their glc-ies are now reduced to a few
tumuli, about 90 feet high The Seaman
der is between 200 and go feet broad and
very muddy. having the appearance OF Be
ing much flooded.
Farther up the plain its course becomes
undistingushAble among the marshes.
After passing q smaller river, you arrive
at an ancient tumulus, not far from the
shore. What is most striking in this
monument is the existence OF an arch,
which forms an entrance to the center.
Above are tho remains Of a square base
ment, on which the column of the tomb
may have formerly stood. On your return
you see the tombs Of Achilles and Patre-
olus and some othsrs--Pittshurg Dis

So Many That It Was Hard to Find Dis
tinGuishing Adjectivss For Them.
''That famous scout and man killer,
Wild Bill, wasn't Bill at all when you
come down to facts. His real name was
Jim Hicock," said the old stage driver,
Jim Sheridan. But TO be Bill of soma
kind was fashion of his day, and every
man out on the western frontier who
wanted TO be thought devil of fellow
must take that name, and then he would
sit up nights thinking what he should do
to get a handle to il. Ii was rather trying
on the English language TO furnish ad-
jectiyes to all the Bills that came along at
that time. There were Texas and Arizona
Bills, Deadwood and Leadville Bills and
Bills from every other county, state, town
and territory, Pistol Bills, Curly Bills
and Son CT Gun Bills. You'd see fellows
wearing something or doing something
different from other people so that they
could get some distinguishing title to tack
on TO Bill.
"There was one man who worked at odd
jobs round stage stations in New Mexico
who wore moccasins in town and out I'M
til at last somebody called him Moccasin
Bill, and then he was happy. I never
knew but enc Bill who found fault with
his title. He was worthless fellow who
hung about Cheyenne with no business
but to forage for free drinks and faro
chips. The saloon keepers at last got to
calling him Never Pay Bill, and that was
too much for him, and he left town.
but ! think the worst case of Bill
making ever saw was in going over the
plains in 1871 with wagon train. There
was one fellow along who used to go
about with blanket wrapped around
him like Pawnee Indian. One day he
came TO me just bursting with pride and
satisfaction and said:

given me? They're calling me Blanket

Chicago, Jan. 11.-No progress was

refuse to vote. 1 shall deposit a blank
in the urn Vive le rotun sociale.''
During the badlloting when the name
of Alvez was called an Allemanist dep
uty shouted: Down with the presi-
dency. Let us have a dissolution.
Stop voting
This was regarded as an indication
that all of the group. contrary to ex-
pectations, would vote against Bris-
son. There was an uproar also when
the name Of De Jeante, Socialist, was
called. He shouted: Down with the
presidency
Il AM A CATHOLIC"
While the voting was in progress the
friends of Faure were actively canvass
ing for votes, and with apparent sue
cess, until a rumor was started that
he was a Protestant. This for a time
had bad effect upon his candidacy,
but deputation approached Faure and
questioned him. He was greatly excit-
ed. He said IN reply to a question:
mo. l am a Catholic" This reas-
sured his supporters and they went TO
work with increased vigor in the effort
to secure additional votes for their
candidates.
When the name of Faberot, Advanc-
ed Socialist, was called, he declared
that he was opposed to the presidency
and demanded that the ministers be
helQ responsible Tor the crimes Whlcn
it was claimed they had committed.
This caused further disturbance: but
the greatest uproar broke out when
the usher omitted calling out the name
Gerault Richard, who is undergoing
years Imprisonment for writing an ar
ticle in LIE ChomaTd insulting to Cast
mir-Perier. The omission TO call his
name caused the Socialists to rise en-
masSe, and Jaures, the Socialist lead
er, shouted: "All the deputies ought to
be inscribed on the list Of the members
of this congress. You are robbing the
country of universal suffrage"
Lacour tried to say something in re-
ply but his voice was inaudible amid
the Socialist tumUlt The usherS
nevertheless continued the roll call.
CLAMORED FOR NIRMAN
Theofficial declaration of the result
of the first ballot after revision of the
list was as follows: Brisson, 3SS;
Faure. PA; Waldeck Rosseau, 49,;
Cavaignac, 6; Meline, i; Dupuy, 4; Ad-
mirai Gervais, /; Marshal Canrobert,

After depDsiting their first ballots
the deputies assembled in the galleri
d bustes which was very crowded.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-01-18

Pelletan, editor of La Justice, was the
center of an excited throng of depu-
ties who were Vehemently protesting
against the absence of Mirman. Rich
ard, among others, shouted: This
election is illegal 1t is an outrage"
Jaures was also the center of a group
Of excited deputies. He explained TO
them that he had voted for BrisSon as
the Socialists wanted an arrlistice and
were desirious of proving that their
party was one Of organization and
work.
From the conversation of the depu-
ties in the gelleri d bustes, it was
gathered that if Brisson was not elect
ed the Socialists wouldat once recon-
mence their struggle against the gov
eminent.
Shortly before the senators and depu-
ties reassembled for the second bal
lot, 1t was announced that Waldeck
Rousseau had retired in favor of
Faure and the latter's friends were
correspondingly elated and felt con-
fdent of his election.
THEY DOWN THINGS.
The casting of the second ballot be-
gan at 4:4o D. m. and proceeded with
less turbulence. Mirman's name up
on this occsion was called without pro-
test from the Socialist deputies. 1t be-
came known during the second ballot
ing that he Allemanists had decided
to vote for Brissor, and their determin-
alton was looked upon as being an i'm
portant item in his favor and one
which greatly increased his chances
of election.
At 7;15 p. M. Lacour assembled the
presidential tribune and when the hub
bpb had subsidized he announced that
the result of the ballot was: Faure.
40; BriSson, 56I.
Members of the right Immediately
burst mo cheers and the Socialists rose
and shouted:"Down with rogues: down
with the thieves; away with them, send
them TO MiZas prison. The members
Of the Right replied with cris Of Down
the commune"
Coutant, Socialist. retorted with re-
action. An indescribable tumult fol-
lowed but finally Lacour was able TO
make himself heard and he declared
that Faure was elected president of the
French republic. Thereupon the ex-
IRENE Left and the Socialists again
rose and set forth a tremendous shout
OF: "NlVe Brisson, vive BriSSon." New
ertheless Lacour pursued the usual par
limentary course and mad the minutes

their protests against the election of

THE RAZOR GRINDING TRADE.
Some Odd Facts About an Out of the Way
New York Industry.

New York Industry.
''We get razors from oil over the coun-
try" said the proprietor of a razor grind
ing shop on Center street. THE razor
gets worn down SO that honing viii not
suffice To put it in condition, and grinding
becomes necessary The razors get into
the barber shops, and the BARRIERS send
them to us-that is, they are sent by the
out of town BARRIERS. We have a list Of
regular customers in the city, and our
men visit the shops 70 get the razors in
need of repair. All the BARRIERS on Long
Island, up the Hudson, in Connections
and part of New Jersey send their razors
to New YORK, sometimes by express, but
most often by messenger. We also get
them from the far northwest-Montana
and Washington state. 1t seems strange,
doesn't it, that a barber in Wyoming or
Oregon has TO send his razors from the
Pacific coast clear across the continent to
the Atlantic to have them put in Crderf
But that is fact
"Only the large cities can afford to keep
the appliances necessary for the delicate
work on finely tempered razors- The
principal reason for this Is the high price
of grindstones and thorough knowledge
of the craft. The only good grindstones
for use ON raZors come from Germany.
Ohio has grindstones, but they are inferior
for razor sharpening purposes to the Ger
man article, no matter what Ohio manu-
facturers say. Up to ten years ago it was
thought the reason that We could not tem-
per our razors as we'll as they do it in
England was because of peculiar def
cheney in our water. That has been proved
to be a fallacy, as we now manufacture
razors in Massachusetts and in Newark
fully as good as any made in England.
All English rszors, you know, are sent to
Germany to be concaYed. That is because
of the superiority OF the German grind
stones. New York World

NOT READY TO PROBATE.
Ex-senator Fairs Heirs Mediate an At
tempt To Break the Will.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE will OF
the late ex-senator James G. Fair was
offered for probate this morning by the
executors named by him TO manage his
estate. Mrs Herman Oelrichs and Mis-
Virginia Fair, daughters of the deceas-
ed millionaire, his son. Charles L. Fair,
the collateral heirs, their minor children
and the executors were each repre-
scented by special counsel The artor-
ney for the executors announced his
readiness to proceed with the probat-
ing of the. will, but the attorneys for
the daughters and also for the son of
ex-senator Fair asked for continu-
ance of three weeks. Each stated that
the question of contesting the will had
not been fully considered and at least
a fortnight would be necessary TO de-
termine upon their course or action.
The attorneys for the three children
gave the impression that a contest
would be instituted. suggesting as the
probable grounds mental unsoundnesS
and undue influence. The court grant
ed the desired continuance OF three
weeks, although the potponement was
vigorously opposed by the attorney for
the executors.
