Short Distance Cab Fares In Paris.

The "time indicator is now in full
operation in the vehicles Of the Paris
Cab company. For a long time the at
tempt to arrange fares for rides occupy
ing less than 30 minutes had proved a
failure because the watch of the driver
and that of his passenger never agreed.
But now that the "time indicator" has
been generally adopted there are no
more disputes, and a passenger on a
rainy day can ride block in two min
utes in the blissful consciousness that
he will not be overcharged in the end.
When the passenger enters a cab for a
short distance course, the driver turns
key which brings the hands of dial
that marks both time and money to the
starting point. The lowest price is 60
confines (12 cents) and this entities the
passenger to drive of only two min
utes. For two minutes more the fare is
70 confines. When six minutes have
passed, the hand points to so confines.
You may drive for quarter Of an hour
and minute over for 1 franc 10 CEN
times, and for % minutes for l franc
40 confines. This is the limit of the
system, for at 1 franc so confines the
ordinary traffic for the course comes in
to operation. New York Times

Harold has a pair of twin aunties
who look and dress so exactly alike
that it is difficult to tell which is Miss
Mary and Miss Martha. One day a
lady said to Harold, l don't see how
you can tell your two aunties apart.
Oh, that's easy enough, replied Har-
old, for Auntie Mary looks a good
deal more alike than Auntie Martha.

SIR lin reply to your letter Of the
9th instant have to instruct you to
keep that man Nebecker of the
grounds allotted TO Indians. As the
government has decided that the land
does not belong to him but to the In
dians, no legal proceedings are re-
quircd. II he goes on the land he is a
trespasser and should be treated as
such; ifit be necessary to use force to
put him off, you may use it without
hesitation: and you may call upon the
Indians to assist you. His lawyer has
appealed to the Secretary Of the Inter
Tor, who has informed me that he sees
no reason to recall his action in allot-
ting the lands to the Indians, SO you
may see that he has no prospect Of ever
getting them. You need use no cere-
mony with him.
With regard to the water, you will
please inform the Bishop that II he
gives the Indians what they need as In
former years it will cost the Mormons
nothing; but II the Mormons deny the
water, will lead them such dance
before the Grand Jury and through the

that they had treated our Indians just

Our comrade mistook the tenor of our
editorial. While the French have proved
themselves gallant soldiers on a thousand
battlefields, the fact still remains that they
have never cultivated craftsmanship as the
Germans, Dutch, English and Americans
have. They have relied more on crashing
volleys at clOse~range than on individual ex-
cellence in shooting There have probably
always teen good shots among the French,
but one has heard nothing of them, showing
that fine shooting has never been esteemed as
among more northern nations. In almost
every German village there are ''shuz-
vereins," and on fest days there is . con-
tinual popping There is nothing of the
kind in France. This difference runs back
through the centuries to the time when the
English archers used TO slaughter the French
with arrows from their long-bows, to which
the French could make no sufficient reply

Mr.. Cunningham Graham, sensational

recently published a statement that
Dewey's victory was due to British
gunners, whom Dewey bribed to leave Her
Majesty's service by an offer of 500
month. The Navy Department has pre-
pared statement based on the muster
rolls of Dewey'S squadron, covering the
date of the engagement with the Spanish
fleet. 1t shows that of the 1 AS men on the
American ships only 81 were ALIENS, and of
these only eight were British subjects.
-Four Of the Britishers were ON the Olympia
and four on the Raleigh. Not one of the
eight is a gunner. They were ordinary sea-
men, a carpenters mate, a coal passer and
a water tender. Thirty-One of the 81 aliens
were Chinese mess attendants and cooks.
These 81 are the men in whose behalf Adj
miral Dewey has recommended special
provision of law to enable them to become
American citizens.
