A nERxII M A &c CITY
An Old woman Of Paris whs DOesn'
Believe Ia R~pubiics.

An Old Woman Of Paris whs Doesn't
Believe la RePubiios-
Various indeed are the ways in which
eccentric people indulge their little
peculiarities, but decidedly original
manner has been adopted by an old
lady living here. On one of the grand
boulevards stands a house with closed
shutters and fastened door Scarcely
a sign Of life is there about the place,
and the house has remained in SINH
lar state over a quarter Of a century.
The owner is an old lady, who, on
September 4, 1870, the day on which
the republic was proclaimed, resolute-
lv determined that no one affected by
republican ideas should ever cross the
threshold Of her dwelling. To avoid
any such dreadful contingency she
simply declined TO allow any one in
side, aud has refused all offers 10 hire
either apartments or shop below. The
only time she breaks through her
hard and fast rule is when wOrkmen
are permitted TO enter in order TO
carry ont repairs. Painters, carpen-
tiers, locksmiths, and masons once
year in turn invade her privacy and
make good any damage. To relatives
whose political tendencies are the
same as her own she is particularly
gracious, but at the death of each one
an apartment in the building is sealed
up. and now all are closed barring the
very small one an apartment in the
back of the house which the anti-re-
publican hermit reserves for her own
use and that of her three servants.
This strange behavior on the part of
an old lady has repeatedly excited
comment, and numerous have been
the attempts of people to gain an en-
trance by some Tuse or other. All
their efforts are foiled by an aged SER
want, who guards the front door with
dragon-like vigilance, aud the would
be intruder soon finds the portal
slammed in his face and himself none
the wiser for his curiosity.-Paris

WHIP ROW ON GOVERNMENT.
Armor Plate Manufacturers Can
Fix Their Own Price.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. O--The Carnegie
and Bethlehem steel companies have no idea
Of abandoning their armor plate plants,
erected at II cost OF millions OF dollars, nor
of turning them over to the government at
bargain day prices, and, in pursuance OF
this idea, have acquired the exclusive right
to use the new Krupp process, for the
hardening OF armor plate In this country
The use Of the HaryeyizIng ovens in
Homestead will be abandoned unless
purchasers OF armor plate specify that
process. The terms OF the deal are not
known. The price paid is one point upon
which the Carnegie officials are particularly
silent. Hereafter. when the government
asks the companies for armor-plate bids, the
latter Will be able to fix their own prices,
not only by reason OF their exclusive rights,
but, owing to the fact that no outsiders will
receive an inkling OF the price paid for these
rights. Congress and the navy department
will he met by the statement from the COM
pany that its prices are necessarily high on
account OF the Krupp rights purchased.

The leader among English actors is Sir
Henry Irving. He was born under the name
of John Henry Brodrib, near Glastonbury,
England, in 1888. At the age Of Is he made
his first stage appearance at the Sunderland
theatre and afterward played through the
provinces. Ten years later he had made a
name for himself which resulted in his per-
manent engagement in London. He trod
the boards OF st. James, Drury Lane, the
Haymarket and Gaiety Vaudeville theatres.
In the latter in 1870 he appeared as Digby
Grant In ''Two Roses" and played the part
for 300 consecutive nights. In 1874 his pres
entation OF Hamlet created q sensation, and
ran for 200 nights. He afterward devoted
himself to shakespearian plays In 1888 he
made his first appearance in the United
States accompanied by Miss Ellen Terry,
who has since married. Henry Irving con-
trolls the Lyceum theatre in London. Upon
the 18TH birthday of the Queen, Henry Irv-
ing was knighted by her. He is the first
actor to be thus honored.

QUIET BITTERNESS"
Such Is SPANS Feeling Toward U.
S.-Does Not Want War.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Captain William
Wyndham. who served three years as British
consul at Barcelona Spain, and who has been
transferred to the British consulate in Chi
cago, was passenger on the French
line steamer Bretagne, which has just
arrived from Havre. He talked freely
on the situation in Spain, aad ii is believed
his remarks will leave him open to a charge
OF breach OF diplomatic etiquette. THE feel
ing in Spain against the United States, he
said, sis one OF quiet bitterness. There have
been no demonstrations In Barcelona or
Whereabouts within the last year against the
United States, and the Spanish government
is taking care that there shall be none.
The bitterness, however, is very marked.
Particularly is this SO Ia Barcelona. Be-
fore the Cuban war Barcelona was one
OF the great manufacturing centres OF Spain,
and prospered on its trade with Cuba aud
Manila. The war in Cuba and the Philip
pine islands has cut on this trade. BARGE
Iona has lost the best and most lucrative
market she enjoyed. Only one-third OF the
men hitherto employed in her factories are
now working, and they on reduced time. All
over the manufacturing centres OF Spain
there Is similar commercial prostratlon.
The Spanish can't understand why the
United States, a friendly nation, should al
low so many tilibustering expeditions to get
away safely to Cuba. That fact makes them
more bitter. When left Spain there were
no symptoms OF anger against the late
minister of the United States to that coun-
try. Hannis Taylor; rather, should say, a
feeling OF Indifference. The Spanish were
too much absorbed in what General Mood
ford, your new minister, might say and do.
heard no talk there of war with the United
States, Spain has not the money to wage such
war. As for the reported prospective
uprising of the Carlists, | don't think
there is much danger of that now. The
Carlists would not stand much OF a
chance of gain, as things ars governed in
| Spain now" ---.

to punish the soldier in question. The regu-
lations Of the army, however, are plain in
their statement that no inhumanity may be
practiced on a soldier, and no cruelty TO the
man will be tolerated. The investigation
will be watched with much interest. though
many think 1t not likely that the captain
will be dismissed from service In the army.

POLITICS In PULPIT.
Dixon's Choir on Strike-Advocated
Seth Lows Candidacy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-About forty singers
constituting the chorus choir Of the Peoples
church, Of which Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., is
pastor, refused to sing on Sunday out
OF sympathy with Professor Agramonte,
their leader, because the pastor advocated
the election OF Seth Low for mayor. Profess
sor AgramOnte is Cuban and IA member of
the New York junta. His son has been In
Spanish prison on the island of Cuba for
two years. The Cubans say that Seth Low
opposed any intervention In this country in
Cuban affairs, and stood against the cause
of Cuban liberty since the outbreak OF the
last war. Mr.. Dixon said In his sermon that
he sympathized with Professor Agramonte,
and had advocated voting for Low only be-
cause the latter stood the best chance for
election against Tammany. He had been
opposed to Mr.. Low personally.
