One of the guests of the Hotel Lafa-

very much bored by something or other,

A letter was received at police heal
quarters from the French consul ~
New York, asking the superintendent
TO find. IL possible, a satchel containing
$1,000 or 5000 worth of diamonds and
other Jewelry that had been left in Tho
New York Central station by an absent
minded tourist from Paris. Detective
Mack was detailed on the case. 1t was
four days after the leaving of tie grip
when the report of its loss arrived. and
Mack considered IL n hopeless task 10
find It. Nevertheless, he set out TO look
for II.
John Martin, the present Inspector of
police, was then a patrolman detailed
at the New York Central station. De
tectiYe Mack read the description Of
the satchel to him and asked him if
he had seen anything of 1t.
The only satchel I've seen living
around loose was u seedy looking thing
that had been kicked around the sta.
tlon for several days. l got SO tired OF

morning and took 1t to the baggage

be the one. It's too eheap-looking.a

said the detective. and he went to the
baggage-master's office and inquired
Tor 1t. 1t was a very shabby canvas af.

be opened by any of the sleuth's keys

rlaI.ed Material Much Worn.

A great deal CT plated material In
used in Paris now TO face revers arr
fiaring collars. 1t hardly matters what
the material is, and cloth, satin, nous
seline de sole aud velvet are equally
liked. On a gown Of gray panne satin
q queerly cut jacket bodice has "a shawl
collar and straight revers that fall in a
point below the waist, faced with plat
ed violet cloth. This is the only touch
of violet on the dless, the rest of the
trimming consisting of ruchings of gray
mousseline de sole with headings of
steel embroidery. Plated velvet sounds
heavy, but it is possible, and some of
the velvet used this year is extremely
light in weight. One sees small yokes
and chokers OF one piece of velvet, with
the plaits running up and down. Tho
usual finish is loops of ribbon and
nousseline de sole in the back.
Is not this an odd gown. perhaps
more original than pretty: The skirt is
Of gold eolored MORE, cut with a short
train. Over this is a sort of tunic of
ecru guipuro, mounted over black satin
that slopes away, polonaise fashion, in
front and is about half as long as the
skirt behind. About the waist is broad
sash of black mousseline de sole, with
tiny r~uchings trimming the square bow.
The sleeves and square yoke are OF
shirred and ruffled mousseline de sole.
Lace caps fall over the sleeves. aud lace
rufies trim these at the wrists. There
is nothing to forbid the tunio being
worn with a skirt of any color, but the
old gold MORE is most effective with
the black and ecru.-Paris Correspond,

The Italian correspondent Of Litera-
ture. i'll discussing Signor d'Annunzio,
alludes to the fact-if it is a fact-that
In spite of "his putridity and morbid
sensuality" he "compels even those
most averse from his standard Of taste
to acknowledge his power as an artist"
Well, suppose he does compel this ac-
acknowledgement. What Of it? The writer
in Literature goes Oh to ask If when
artists ''seem by preference to linger
near putrefactions and morbidities is
there not cause to conclude that there's
something rotteny' But apparently he
is afraid to answer the question fatty
and to add that r%ottenness in art should
debar it from further discussion.
We are we'll aware that this kind Of
proposition always wakes a shrill yelp
Of protest in certain quarters. To deny
the right of art" to do anything it
self down not only a Philistine, but a
gibbering idiot. Nevertheless, the great
shining fact remains that a man like
D'Annunzio never got anything like a
permanent foothold upon Parnassus, and
all this talk about his art" might just
as we'll cease. 1t will never make him
a classic. Those takers who think it
will, and hence go ON talking, must be
curious individuals. Like Charles
Lamb, we would like to see their
bumps. But we are not sure that even
this trivial attention would not be more
than they are worth.-New York Trib-

Duel In tho Dark.

Perhaps tho most laughable French
duel ever fought took place on Nov. 81,
1878, at Plessis-P iquet and was
fought" between two no less person
ages than Gambetta, who was then
practically the dictator Of France, aud
M. de Fourtou.
Some heated words had passed be-
tween the two in the chamber of depu-
ties, for which, according to the French
idea of honor. nothing could atone ex-
cept q duel. The two men met, there
fore, on the field, attended by their sec
onds and the surgeons.
A look oyer the field was enough to
convince any L present that there
would be no occasion for the doctors
services. A thick November fog over
hung the scene-so thick that one could
hardly see bis hand before his face. The
arrangements for the duel required that
It should be fought at 30 PAGES.
Nor was the fog the only thing which
tended to put the eombatants out of
sight of each other. On the way to the
field NJ. do Fourtou said:
M. Gambetta has but one eye, and l
am shortsig hted, 30 the game will be
about eyen."
1t was rendered still more "eyen" by
the fog. Neither man could see the 9TH
err, and the sole danger was to the Sec
onds and the doctors.
Almost m~iraculously the two bullets
which were exchanged missed the per-
ons in attendance. Eyerybody's honor
was satisfied, and the whole party went
home.
THAT, said NJ. Gambetta ON the
way, was as near to being a skirmish
in the dark as anything ever saw. -
