FRENCH lNcIvILlTy.
An English LAdy's Sweeping Charge
Against Gallic Manner.

French politeness, as we all know, has
passed into proverb. Yet, like many an
other proverb, 1t can only bo accounted
true In rare and limited sense. When
travelling In France one Is struck by the
extreme rudeness of ones fellow travellers,
who lose no time in making you as un-
comfortable ~ possible, while 1t never oc-
crrs to any man to open tho exceedingly
awkward doors OF a railroad carriage or
10 assist lady in getting in and cut. On
one occasion passed tire Maison de Secours
for cycnsts, and asked the man in charge
kindly - pump up one Of my wheels, as
/ had no pump with me. He promptly de-
clined on the score that had no card OF
the touring club with me. In what desc
late country lane of England, had one ap-
pealed to the veriest scorcher, would such
a request have been blufliy and rudely re-
fusedp
The fact Is that true pollteness, the kind
ly feeling OF man to man, or man to wom-
an, ts far more developed in the English
lower classes than 1t Is among the SO called
Gallo population. The manners Of Pa
risian "cochers. "concierges'' and off,
cials have notably deterioratcd since the
.lt of the republic. and any actual
courtesy toward women consists only In
words and the entirely meaningless fash
ion of lifting the hat. A Frenchman will
always push and trample and shove past a
woman, forcfeg her off the pavement and
into the gutter he will stare hex out OF
countenance, and follow her In the street
to her annoyance and discontinue, but he
will rarely extend helping hand or take
her under his manly and disinterested pro
lection. When ono remembers the admi
rable conduct of the British crowd in the
streets on the night Of the illuminations IN
honor of the jubilee, one cannot but fee
proud Of onc's countrymen's manners
from tho highest % the lowest. Politenesi
| without, ,protestatton might be their motto
The peculiarities Of French and Englisf
| people also exhibit themselves In othel
ways. For instance, o French chamber
maid once informed me that she preferret
her English guests. WhyrI queried. "Be
cause.fhey have fxed habits, she replied
"Habits they have, such as daily baths

! are every day the same.--JPhcy rarely eve

| you easily learn how TO serve them. Now
the French visitors never like the sam
things two odaysrunning. Today they an
| too hot, tomorrow too cold; today the,
sleep propped up with pillows. tomorrow
they like their heels higher than thei
heads, and SO they arc difficult caprioious

How Nature Builds Rockeries.

The fact is, the rockery, to be a success,
must be an evolution instead of creation.
Attempt to construct one after any set
plan and you are sure to fail with 1t. The
most satisfactory one ever saw was one
that made itself, SO to speak. Tho stones
Of which it was composed wero hauled in
winter and dumped down carelessly in O
great heap. In spring tho owner looked
them over and came to the conclusion that
It would be impossible for him to arrange
them In more picturesque manner, and
he had the good sense not to attempt It,
He worked earth In between them and
planted wild vines and ferns there, and
his rockery was a success. II possible, q
rockery should be located In q secluded
portion Of the grounds.
Rockeries as nature makes them are
generally In secluded hooks, where all
kinds Of wild things feel at home, and we
should try to carry out az completely as
possible the idea Of the wildness which
prevails in natures haunts--to domesti-
cate wildness, 90 to spenk. This cannot bs
done satisfactorily where the grounds are
close to the street. II the grounds are too
small to allow you to give the rockery .
place at some distance f. I'm the house, and
you fecl that you must have one, plant
trees or shrubs so az to give IL an air OF
partial seclusion at least.-Eben K. Rex-
lord In Ladies' Home Journal.

President Mckinley Tenders Friendly
Offices to End Cuban Wcr.
Sherman uade Offer Through
Minister Taylor.
Pans 10 Bring About Peace Must Await Change
Of Spanish Administration.

Washington. May 22.-President Nc
among the diplomats, has already,
through Minister Taylor at Madrid.
sounded the present Spanish govern
ment on the question OF an offer OF our
mediation to terminate the hostilities
in Cuba, and has been Informed that the
Spanish government Is not yet willing
to accept our mediation.
This report Is to the effect that on
the 7th of this month Secretary Sherman
instructed Minister Taylor to convey
to the Spanish government the desire
Of the United States government that
the trouble in Cuba be ended, and to
proffer an offer Of It's good offices to
aid in bringing Ii about, and that the
Spanish government has notified Min
lister De- Lone that 1t has replied to
Minister Taylor. who has cabled the sub
stance Of the reply to Secretary Sherman
that the government cannot accept any
Intervention on the part Of the United
States, for the reason that II does not
admit that there is now any occasion
for IL, since the promise made by Spain
to the last administration. that Cuba
would be pacified, has been fulfilled and
since peace is now practically restored In
that island. Having declined such an
4 offer when made by Secretary Olney.
while q rebellion really existed and hos
tilities were really going on. the Span
ish government cannot accept a similar
offer now that peace has been restored.
II such an offer has been made. and
such a reply has been received. the pres
ident will have to await the impending
change of administration in Spain be-
fore he can make any headway with the
plan he has been proposing for bring
ing about peace and independence in
Cuba in cooperation with the Spanish
government.
All attempts to get affirmation or de
nial of this report from the administra'
ton has failed. At the White House
the inquiry was referred to Secretary
Sherman. and all that Secretary Sher-
man would do was to say with impa-
tience that he would refuse to affirm OF
deny the report. AS he is usually quich
to deny when he can deny. reports
about state department matters, this
strengthened belief in the accuracy OF
the report

FitZSimmonS." The shout that went
up at the count of ten" drowned the
last sentence.
The fight continues the chief topic
today. Congratulatory kilograms
have been sent to FitZsimmons and
Corbett's friends are legion, number
of kilograms of coincidence and words
of cheer being sent him from San An
tonic last night.
There was not much betting in San
Antonio, or if there was it was kept
very quiet, and this class of people
is anything but quiet about theft
sporting prOclivities. Whatever bet
ting there was the FitZsimmOns end
demanded the odds. There was very
little. if any, even money bet, the odds
yesterday being 10 TO 61a on Corbett.
BY this it will be seen that more
money has changed hands than if Cor.
bett would have won.
1t is conceded by everybody. even
Fitzsimmons men, that the Australian
shows the effects of the fight more
today than Corbett. That blow in the
stomach. however, may effect Cor
bett. but FitzSimmons undoubtedly
wears a face today, which is NOT n
pleasant object of admiration for his
better half. 1t is estimated that Cor
bett landed about ten blows to Fitz-
simmons six. and in more vital spots.
Corbetts clever lodging comes in for
a large share OF comment, and to this
is partially attributed his exhaustion.
1t is believed that with Sullivan's
blows the Australian would not have
been in it for a minute.
Very Little or no local interest was
taken in the HawkinsFlaherty and
Green-Smith fights, which occurred at
Carson yesterday afternoon. In the
first fight Flaherty was Knocked out
in one minnie and four seconds. The
second fight lasted eleven rounds, when
mysterious" Billy Smith threw no
the snonge and George Green was de-
clared the winner. Both Of these
were lightweight matches.

not covered by civil service rules. fill

in sympathy with the party principles
and policy; and they all will be in the
course of a few months, but for the
present only such changes as are con-
sidered necessary, will be made. 1t
is altogether probable that when more
important matters have been disposed
of, some Of the extensions of the civil
service rules, which are known TO
have been made solely for the purpose
of keeping Democrats in office, will be
set aside. Steps are now being quiet
~ taken that will later on give the
country few surprises in connection
with some of Mr. Cleveland'S extern
Sions of the civil service rules. There
is no more sincere advocate of the true
spirit of civil service reform than
President Mckinley. but where il, is
shown that the civil service rules
have merely been made a cloak to
cover the rankest partisanship, he will
not hesitate to strip the cloak off the

scene of his defeat. He left the prize

through without a stop. He was met
by large crowd of people at the fer
~. AS he stepped from the gang
plank it was noticed that he was de-
iected and seemed morose. The out
ward signs that he had been in fight.
however. was a swollen condition OF
his left cheek and temple. He did not
say much of his defeat, except that it
was chance blow that deprived him
of the championship and that he had

blow was struck. He wanted it dis

at all times and that the intense pain
caused by the blow drove evrything
else out of his mind. He says he will
force FiHsimmons to fight again, and
he intimated he would follow the
champion from town to town to bring
about another battle.
Jim was very anxious to know how
the news of his defeat was received
in this city, and was pleased whe nhe
heard that the majority of the people
were sorry for him.

soundly under the influence Of Opiates.
He was in good spirits and said he
was feeling good and suffering no
pain except a slight distress from a
broken tooth which he will have fixed

CORRUPT JUSTICE.
A Sensation Created and Serious
Charges Sustained.

A Sensation Created and Serious
Charges Sustained.
Montgomery, Ala, March 1S.-A SEN
sation developed in court at Gladsden
last Friday. The case Of Danforth
and Armstrong against the Tennessee
and COosa railway for money due on
contract, $150,000, has been in court
several years and has been tried and
carried to the Supreme court four
times. Each time the verdict has
crept up.
At the last trial one of the county
commissioners was sent to Jail and
fined for soliciting n big verdict for
the plaintiffs. The railroad attor-
neys moved to dismiss the case, alleg-
ing a conspiracy between the plain
tiffS and DR.. Baker. In support of
their motion, they introduced twenty
nine letters and copy of the contract
between the plaintiffs and DR.. Baker.
In this contract il was stipulated
that Baker and his associates should
use their influence with the juries and
courts for a big verdict, he to receive
ten per cent of the amount secured,
One of Danforth's letters says he has
been furnished by Baker with lists of
jurors since 1894, with names marked
to challenge. He suggested a certain
member of the Supreme court as the
man to approach. 1t is the general
impression here that there is a con-
spiracy in the town to corrupt justice
in other cases. An official investlga-
ton will be made and other sensations
NAV follow.
