HER BELONGINGS SOLD.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Crowds of senators,
deputies, aristocratic personages and
Ioungers rubbed shoulders yesterday
afternoon out of curiosity to witness
the auction of the belongings Of the
music hall favorite, Nine. Linde de
Poughy, whose name has been con-
nected with the names Of many prom
inent men in France and whose at
tempt at suicide last summer created
a sensation. These also took place at
the Hotel Drouett. The articles Of
attire and especially the luxurious
ben and bedding attracted the great
est attention. The scene recalled that

WANT THE FIGHT.

Evansville, Ind, Dec. There is a
well defined effort on the part OF SEINE
Of the leading sporting men here to Sc
cure the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight
If it should succeed 1t will be under
the management Of Dan A. Stuart,
with whom the local men are now en-
gagged in correspondence. Hhere is
plenty Of money in sight to make the
affair success and it is thought there
will be no police interference as sew
eral glove fights have been pulled of
here lately with the police present.
The endeavor to get the fight is an
earnest one, and contrary action by
police authorities, which is not ex-
pected, is the only reason, should Dan
Stuart agree, to prevent it.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-The Su-

error in the case Of Elverton r. Chap
man, the New York broker, charged
with violation Of the statutes in refus-

necessary for Chapman to serve his

A MANS DESK.

(Fron the Philadelphia Inquirer)
In the wilderness Of advice
as to how women shall please
their husbands, nothing is more
to the point and more sensible
than that counseling them not
to be always strengthening up
the latter's den. Although the
books upon the table may lie
wids open the eye and the pa
pers on the desk seem like q
confused and untidy heap, they
are in the condition which their
owner prefers or with which be
is at least familiar. Their re
arranging by other hands, how
ever orderly e. the eye the re
snlt, means confusion that is
confusion indeed. 1t is a trite
saying that a man wants one
yoom in his house where he can
do as he pleases, but it is as
true as the truest gospel, and
it applies with peculiar force
to nearly every mans desk.

WHAT 1T MEANS,

Little is said about the pres
ent national convention in

nerulons interest to the Amer
lean people. 1t means a revol
ution in our financial system.
Time honored principles, which
have heretofore prevailed in our
national financial affairs are 10
be disregarded, the paper on
which they were printed torn
to pieces and thrown to the
winds. There is scarcely a
q doubt but that the nominee
of the Chicago convention will
be elected. He will be a free
silver man. He will not take
bis seat until March 4th., 1897.
In the meantime, a new hcnse
of representatives is to be
chosen. 1T is by no means
certain that the new house will
be in favor of free silver. 1t
looks the other way. The sen
ate will probably be in
favor of free coinage. We
shall then possibly have in
the executive chair a man
who is in favor of the free
coinage Of silver, with the
hsuse Representatives against
him. Then the free silver men
will be utterly powerless.
The situation is one of great
interest and every cool headed
man in the nation looks on it
with apprehension.
