Chang arrayed himself In his purple Jack

spectaces, and, descending at length from
the restaurant car. shook hands with the

At Paris the ENJOYS bill at the Grand
hotel, presented for payment to the
French ministry OF finances, amounted TO
nearly million francs, while the rest OF
the expenditures he caused to the repub-
lie were a little more than another MILL
ion. His presents TO his entertainers
consisted in small china medals, accom-
panied by large documents authorizing
the recipients to wear these decorations
Soon the Bryan and Mckinley buttons at
Washington will be supplemented by
those Of Ii Hung Chang
1t is to be hoped that those decorated by
him may not see their pleasure spoiled
like the French civil and military officials,
who found that a hotelkeeper and two
cab drivers had been honored the same
way.
Marchioness Ii, wife Of Ii Hung Chang.
according to a Paris exchange, is a very
handsome and exceedingly learned lady.
Although beyond two score and ten, she
is described as looking less than 30. In her
magnificent home, on the banks of the
Pel-Ho she lives In royal splendor, sur
rounded by a large court, by song birds,
peacocks, aquaria, pottery, gems and boz
tanical collections. About one thousand
attendants are at her disposal. In her
wardrobe are guarded two thousand
coats twelve hundred pairs of trouser-
cites and five hundred fur robes. Her ar
istocratic feet do not allow her TO walk
more than a few yards at a time, and so
she is carried through the rooms Of her
palace and along the picturesque paths
Of it's grand park. Twice day she takes
a bath in oil Of orange and acacia blooms.

lie sedan. Her hair is dressed in fifty diff
ferent fashions of the coiffeurs art, and
her generous ALLOWANCE enables her to ex-
eel not only in lavish expenditures for
her personal outfit but also for charity
and general humanitarian objects.

A John ChamberIin story.

Chamberlin enjoyed immensely a re-
mark that was made some years ago by
the celebrated Col. Dick Wintersmith OF
Kentucky about the high charges for
which he was noted, says the New York
Sun. 1t is a story that has been told
from one end of this country to the other,
and It has also Travelled to London and
Paris, to say nothing Of the number Of
times it was printed in newspapers when
II was comparatively new and fresh. It
seems that a young Kentuckian with
plenty Of money was spending a few
weeks in Washington during the gay viii
ter season. He went into fashionable So
ciety, and was exceedingly fond OF calling
on the ladies. One evening he was to be
one OF a theater party in which some OF
the leading bellies were included. When
he and the colonel sat down together in
chamberlin's the young man said:
How / would like 10 take a whack at
a nice porterhouse steak. smothered in
onionsl But II Is out OF the question.
am afraid OF the breath It might give
me- You know ! am going 70 the theater
With some charming ladies' this evening"
Have no fear. my friend" chimed IN
the colonel. Just 80 right ahead and
have your steak and onions. When you
get your bin for the meal you have or
dered Il Will take your breath away"

A Fortune in JeweIry Seized by the
Customs officials.
New York, Aug. 1.-The details Of a big
seizure Of jewelry were made public in
Hoboken to-day. although the seizure was
made on the arrival of the steamer Ems
on Tuesday evening.
Among the passengers in the steerage
was an Italian, who had registered as
Michael Bariatti of Mulberry street, New
York. He was ragged and dirty, but he
had large trunk for baggage. The Gus
tor1s officials in Europe learned that he
had a large quantity of jewelry with him,
and Chief Custom House Inspector Dono-
hue received a cable dispatch TO this effect.
When the Ems arrived the trunk of the
Italian was searched. It was found to
contain false sides and false bottom.
When these were taken out Cos pieces of
jewelry were disclosed.
The collection consisted of gold and dia-
mond pins, bracelets, earrings and
breaches, etc, and was estimated to be
worth $4,000 The Italian refused to say
anything as to whom the jewelry belonged
to, or where he got II.
