The Suez Canal Company's Provision for
the Aged Engineer and His Family.
p 1t is truly characteristics of the warm
hearted and forgiving nature of the
average Frenchman, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, that not a word of
protest should have been raised any,
where against the grant by the Suez
Canal company of an annual allowance
of about twenty-four thousand dollars
to the De Lesseps family, even those
whose entire fortunes had been swal-
lowed up in the disastrous Panama en-
terprise expressing their satisfaction
at the measures thus adopted to pre-
serve their illustrious compatriot from
want. Notwithstanding all reports to
the contrary, the De Lesseps had
actually been reduced to penury, and
their situation was most precarious.
Not only all the shares which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps possessed in the Suez
Canal company, but even his fees as
director, the annuity assigned to him
money he had been able to lay aside,
were attached by the hquidators of the
Panama bankruptcy. The only re-
sources that remained at the disposal
of the countess were the house which
she owned in the Avenue Montaigne
and the Chateau de La Chesnaye, both
OF which were more source of ex-
pense than of economy, and were
mortgaged up to the very hilt besides,
With the object of averting all dam
ger of seizure by the creditors of the
count the allowance just granted by
the Suez company has been made in
favor of the countess and of the thir-
teen children of the count. The two
eldest of these are Charles and Victor,
who are the sons of his first wife. OF
the eleven children of the present |
Countess de Lesseps three are serving |
in the army, one is married to that |
Count de Gontaut-Biron whose fnan:
,ial difficulties were theme of much
discussion in the Partisan press two
years ago, and the remainder are still
on their father and mother

FOR AN UNSPOKEN SPEECH.

The Irish Patriot Jailed for Words He
Didn't Say.
A member of the Land league was
sent from Dublin to a certain district to
get up a meeting and make speech,
says foreign exchange.
On reaching the town where the
meeting was to be held, the speech
maker met a friend, and, both being
genial fellows, they retired to public
house and had something. Then they
began talking over old-time rem
iniscences, and the first thing the land
Lacquer knew was that the attendant
had come in to light the lamp.
Great goodness!" he said, 81 was
sent down from Dublin to get up a
meeting here, and now it IS too late"
..Oh, well, it doesn't matter" said the
other.
"Yes, but it does matter said the
organizer. 81 have to report to my su-
perior that the meeting was held"
"Oh, that's all right, said his friend.
"Here, you write out speech and
will send 1t to the local papers, who will
print it Just as if the meeting was held,
then the folks in Dublin won't know
the difference"
This was quickly done. and the
speech that was never delivered APP
peared the next day in the papers.
The fun of the thing comes in over
the fact that the Lacquer was arrested
and was sentenced to four months in
Jail for speech that he never delivered,

PORT TowNsHEND Wash, Nov. 30
The steamer All1i, from Alaska. has
brought news Of considerable excitement
at Juneau, as a result Of decision by the
government that will result in the loss of
many homes and considerable property in
the best part Of the city. The decision re-
ferred to is one just rendered by Secretary
of the Interior Francis, giving to Mrs.
GOldstein a little over 20 acres of land in
the town of Juneau, on which her hus-
band fled, in her name, mining claim
The decision returned by Secretary Francis
ends the matter.
In 1856 Rufus Goldstein, citizen of
Juneau, which was then not much of a
town, filed mineral claim on what was
afterward the lest property in the place
Not much was thought Of the matter at
that time. Two years later, in 1883, the
public learned that a part of the townsite
was being claimed for mineral purposes.
So much feeling was worked up over
the matter that it was seriously proposed
to either hang Goldstein or throw him in
the bay on the grounds that he was a
public enemy.
The case was finally taken into the gen
eral land Office under the title of Goldstein
versus the Townsite Of Juneau, and il
was then decided in favor of the townsite
1t was then carried TO the supreme court
and that body at once referred it TO the in
terror department, which has now decided
that the claim of Goldstein is valid, and
must be sustained.
1t is said that at present prices for prop
erty in Juneau the Goldstein claim is
worth from $500, 600 to 81, 200, 600.
