POOR PRINCESS LOUISE.
Although Possessing Over Forty Pairs of
 Shoes She Couldn't Wear One.

Of all Queen Victoria's daughters there is not one who is more fastidious ill her dress than is Princess Louise, marchioness of Lorne, who celebrated her silver wedding the other day. She is especially particular on the subject of her shoes, being the only one of the British princesses to possess a pretty foot. The other day the princess had donned toilet in order to attend some species of state function, but at the last moment was dismayed to find that the shoes which she considered to be an in- dispensable adjunct to the dress were not ready and had not been sent home to Kensington palace
 Her husband, the marquis, appeared upon the scene just at this moment, and, seeing the diseGnsolate look on his make the best of bad job and wear some other pair of shoes. Acting on this suggestion, her maids brought out one pair of shoes after another for the ap- proval of their royal mistress until there were no less than A pairs of boots and shoes of various descriptions set out i'll rows around her. Still the princess was not satisfied, and in her annoyance she exclaimed, A queens daughter, and not pair of shoes to wearl'
 The huInor of the situation struck the marquis, who. stupid as he is in other respects, is very clever and quick with pencil and brush. He drew rapid sketch of the princess sitting, unhappy and forlorn, surrounded by serried ar- my of failures in leather and silk and wrote underneath, "A queens daugh- ter, and not shoe to wearp' This pie ture by some means or other-prob- ably through one of the servants-got into the hands of one of the weekly newspapers in London, which has re- produced it, much to the amusement of her majesty's lieges. -Marquise de Fon- tenoy in Chicago Record.

CLEVELAND AS JUDGE.
He Is Now Arbitrating Italy's Claim
 Against Colombia.

Against Colombia.
 President Cleveland is now engaged in the arbitration of the claim of Italy against Colombia, all the papers in the dispute having finally been presented i'll accordance with the convention between the disputants.
 The case involves damages amounting to nearly $1, ,500. 900 on account of tho persecution of Erneste Gerruti, a wealthy merchant and Italian consular represent ative, during revolution in Colombia about ten years ago.
 After yainly endeavoring to secure reparation Italy broke off diplomatic re- lations with the South American state and sent a Warship to rescue Cerruti and his family from the country
 Through a protocol arranged by the Colombian and Italian ministers at Paris in 1886 Colombia agreed to return all Cerruti's property, and the question of his neutrality was referred to the gov ernment of Spain, which in 1888 decided that Cerruti had not violated neutrality and had not lost the rights and privi- AC8oS oh d hSueldl 4OIS1SAe15 dIlu Was Gu- titled to indemnity for the injuries sus- tained.
 For the next five years negotiations continued between Italy and Colombia, finally resulting in the agreement of Aug. IS, 1894, to leave the matter to the arbitral decision of President Cleve- land. This agreement was reached only after Cerruti had declined Colombia s offer to settle for 1 1,00O 900 francs gold. New York Recorder.

Considerable surprise was created in the silver camp by the Michigan State Democratic Convention which refused to declare for free silver, 16 to l.

 UP to date 94 delegates to the National Democratic Convention have been instructed for free silver and 130 against it. The States in- structing for free silver are Mis- souri, Oregon, Colorado, Alabama,
 Mississippi and Washington;a against it, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Al though the silver men have carried four more States than their oppon: tnts, their aggregate vote is 36 less

 'I believe, said ex-Governor Rus sell, "the Democratic party, both for the present and it's future, should ill the coming convention take an absolutely sound position on the money question without evasion or compromise. Such a position means not only opposition to the free coinage of silver but also to it's compulsory purchase or any compro- mise legislation in that direction.
