WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH SAILS

what's the matter with Salisbury,
That's the question that Is agitating' or
rather confusing, the British mind. ana
we may say the American mind, too,
In some degree. His speech at the BAN

Association was certainly one of the most
remarkable performances OF It's cna-
racter ever chronicled. Taking 1t all IN
all. II IL many day since Great Britain
has been put IN such humiliating posi-

But he makes not half the descent on
that issue that he did in respect OF the
Armenian question. In both instances
however. he constituted himself an III
terpreter-in the one OF the Monroe DOC

As TO the Monroe doctrine. this country
has interpreted what Mr.. Monroe meant
and the European Powers by this time
fully appreciate that we propose to stand
by that Interpretation. On that point Inc
people Of the United States are practically

Lord Salsbury's remarks touching TINS
matter will be wanting considerably IN
interest until we know exactly what me

ouently left us TO great extent !" ''0
dark as TO what would be his future
policy in dealing with US touching tnc

But when he turned abruptly 10 the

A few short weeks ago he was threaten

Jenny Ltnd.s Private Car

1t is not generally known flat a,
famous singer made the first move,
toward the establishing Of private.
cars. In 1851, when the famous Jenny
Lind got married in this country, she
was very much annoyed during her
honeymoon by the intrusion of imper-
tinent interyiewers, and to escape the,
infiction she had d passenger car
cleared of its seats and fitted up as a
drawing room. In this she was able
to stop off at secluded points or go
from place to place without molesta-
ton. The idea was quite original with.
the great singer, and directed so much
attention that other people CT luxu-
r1ous tastes wanted to initiate that
method of travel. The fashion did not.
spread very rapidly, .ut It got q start
then. and has gone on sleyly INTO the
development of the palace ear and
dining car.-Locomotiye I~.nsiLeG,ing.

"T11en come" I said. eagerly; W.
! must lose no time. It will be midnight

must lose no time. 1t will be midnight
before we can hope to reach Danvers."
"Not Danvers," she replied, shrink
ing back as I sought to take her hand;
'let us 90 to Tregonne; there is a not
airy there who will marry us, and we
are far safer from pursuit"
every WE'LL" 1 answered, "let us be
off,"
Refusing my proffered assistance,
Mile. de Boursons walked to the car
rage and sprang lightly to the back
seat. Rather awkwardly, I took my
place in front, gathered up the reius,
and drove off as swiftly as I could in
duce the ancient steed to move.
Madamoiselle drew her mantle close
ly over her head and shoulders, and
but once during the long drive did she
speak. Then it was to direct ME to the
Tregonne road.
With ample time for reflection, my
adventure began to seem rather queer
and uncanny, and by the time we dis
covered the lights of Tregonne twink
ling before us I came to doubt the per-
feet wisdom Of my present course.
But it was too late to draw back
now-and the girl was very beautiful.
"This is the notarys," said my com
paniOn. in her low, sweet voice, indi~
eating by a gesture a rambling struc.
ture from whose windows cleaned 9
single light.
I leaped out, found the door at the
end Of a long pathway, and knocked
upon it loudly.
A tall, thin man, beyond the middle
age, holding a tallow candle high
above his head, answered my call.
"You are the notaryW I asked, brief

He nodded assent.
II wish to be married."

Bicycles and Cabmen in Paris.

Bicycling in France has led to one.
strange and quite unexpected result.
1t has made the authorities keep a.
firmer hand on the Paris cabmen. The
dangers of the pedestrian attempting
to cross the Place d'Opera were enor-
mously increased when he had to deal
with both cab and bicycle, and the
number of accidents drew attention to
the reckless driving in the great thor
oughfares. The authorities went very
