his youthful years in Paris. He saw
many of its charms renewed In the
City of the Straits and its environment
while with the scope of his own inilu-
epce he emulated the gayety OF the
famous capital. Through the viclssi-
tudes that mark the way to success In
this country of open competition, he
attained to the dignity OF proprietor
ship and presided over a popular wine
shop. He was a rare connoisseur OF
the varied products OF the grape wheth-
err it grew in our own climes, in the
vineyards that skirt the Rhine, or
sprang from the gracious soil in his
own sunny France; whether 1t was
pressed in ancient watts by the white
feet OF laughing girls, or was prepared
by the most approved process OF mod
ern invention. For him to condemn or
approve was to cut off all right of
appeal.
His, too, were the virtues Of a Bac-
chus, while in the genial Dalou the
faults Of the mythical deity were mod
flied into the proprleties Of free mod
ern life. He was royal host to whom
his countrymen and congenial spirits
of every nationality were irresistibly
attracted. With their knees under one
Of his great round tables, quafing his
choicest vintage, offering the incense
OF tobacco smoke and listening to the
ceaselcss patter Of his bewitching
tongue, the cares of life were as though
they had never been. His stories were
the best and eveC new. There were
eloquence, pathos and merriment In
the shrug of his shoulders and the
speaking language Of his hands. True,
some good dame would occasionally
call on him to petition for a larger
share of her husbands spare hours, but
in the fascination of Pierres tongue
her anger soon gave way to cheerful
ness and she sighed that such compan-
ionship was the sole possession of the
Bterncr sex.
So it Is plain why there was deep
gloom in che hearts Of Dalou's bon
comrades when he announced that he
would finally close the doors of his
wine house to enjoy the browning
pleasure of life in happy and hon.
ored old age. But it was under strong
pressure that Pierre Dalou had yielded
his envied position of wine merchant
and prince Of entertainers. He had

sometimes at the end of a few hours.
and sometimes not until the next day,

be found in the mans possession Of a
very powerful Imagination, which, be-

WASHINGTON, Dec. From the best
information it appears that no change
is to be made in the composition of the
cabinet during the remainder of the
current year There are two good
reasons for this. Attorney General
McKenna has charged himself with
the prosecution of the Pacific railroad
cases, and it is not to be supposed that
he will relinquish his present Office
until the Kansas Pacific sale has passed
into history. 1t is generally under
stood that Governor Griggs, of New
Jersey, has been offered the place in
the ca binet to be vacated by Attorney
General McKenna, but it win not be
possible for him to take the Office
before the beginning of next year.
The New Jersey constitution fails to
make provision for a successor to the
governor. and should Governor Griggs
relinqtish his place now there conse-
quently could be no head to the state
government during the period of time
