AS the Parisians Pronounce It

Englishmen and Americans newly return
ing from Paris and familiar with that part
of French society that likes to initiate Eng
lish society and sporting ways, are much
amused by recent addition to its vocabu-
larry. 1t has discovered the word smart, in
the significance it has in the fashionable
slang OF London and New Y ork, and eagerly
adopted it, applying it even more indis-
criminately. Clothes, jewels, vehicles,
torses, entertainments, companies, novels,
plays, acting, men and women, whatsoever
is in the best possible form of the moment
has become smart as it was once chic. Now
the vocabulary of the young Frenchman
who affects such an epithet is by no means
SO limited as that. of his American or Eng
lish brother, but he clines to smart only
the more strenuously, forgetting it only
when he is excited or embarrassed. Unfor
tunately, say the English and the Ameri
cans, he has still to learn to pronounce it,
They represent his version of it as
"smarthe" and Figaro confirms them with
tale of the bewilderment of young girl,
who, being repeatedly praisedas "smarthe, y
wondered why long standing acquaintances
persisted in calling her Marthe.-London

Explosion on a Steamer

At the Russian court new order prevails.
A few years ago French was the exclusive
language of the court, now English Is very
generally spoken, and gentlemen Of position
attending balls anu other functions at the
palace are permitted, indeed, expected, to
ask the royalties to dance as il they did
not belong to such exalted rank. OF course,
as we all know. princess lays her commands
upon the gentleman she wishes to honor,
and an eQuerry or gentleman-l waiting
comes with a message that her royal high
ness. Princess So and So,will dance this valse
with YOU" but in Russia at the present time
it is different; the czarina | believe, is the
only lady that a gentleman of rank or ac-
knowledged position in society may not ap-
proach with an invitation to tread
measure"
The czarina speaks perfect English and
has the delightful art TO setting new comers
at their ease and speaking to foreigners
constantly IN their own language .-London

The Comal's Cargo

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to the

The distributing of the relief ship Co.

direction Of Lieut. Lang OF the First Lou

amount of one hundred and fifty tons have
been landed and arrangements will be made
with local committees for distribution

Door At the Mozoro insane asylum hor-
ybie state OF affairs was discovered. One
hundred and twenty inmates, emaclated and
showing every sign OF starvation, are now
confined there. Six months ago there were
over eight hundred in this asylum, but death
and starvation have reduced their numbers
to about one-seventh of that figure.
The Spanish government withdrew its
grant, and although money was raised for
the institution, corrupt officials embezzled
most of it, leaving the patients destitute.
\ large quantity Of the Comal's food had
been handed over to them.
Several tenement houses near the Prado,
the fashionable drive of the city, were Wis

livery stables, the stencil from which filled

families. All kinds of sickness was found,
and lying in corner of one room were two
persons with yellow fever. They had no med

mon necessities of life and, Judging from
their condition, had but few hours to
live.
Other inmates were similarly destitute
and suffering from diseases bred by filth and
hunger. Pinched and wan, they blessed the
approach of the American relief with its
hope of small alienation of their misery.

He accused former Premier Brisson of vio-

The minister of war, NJ. de Freycinet, re-
piled that he ird not desire to appear as

while willing to submit to the court all the
official documents in his possession, he was
absolutely determined not to submit the
secret batch of documents in the case, which
he pointed out. contained papers affecting
the security of the nation. He added that
if the house did not approve of his attitude
he was willing to resign.

CHICAGO FRANCHISES
Will Not Be Extended for Fifty
Years

CHICAGO, Dec. 19--The ordinance pro-
viding for the extension of the franchise OF
Chicago's street car lines was again the
subject of deliberation in the city council
tonight, but no decisive action was taken.
The motion of Alderman Mayo, an oppo-
nent of extension, that the ordinance be
taken from the railroad committee and re-
ferrcd to the committee on city hall pre-
vailed by vote of 30 to 81, although tho
point of order was made that the committee
on city hall was not an appropriate commit
tee. Mayor Harrison oyerruled this point
of order, and The ordinance is now I'M the
hands of the city hall committee, which is
regarded as anti-extension in sentiment.
The committee is largely perfunctory ons
and it is not thought likely the ordinance
will be reported out or even be considered
by them. The advocates of the ordinances
generally admit defeat.

A Drunken En- giueer

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
A terrible explosion shook the little steam
er Fanita early Sunday morning, when some
steam pipes in the boler-room blew out,
killing one man and fatally scaldng three
others.
The steamer was at anchor ready to 90
out in the morning. Three men were at
work upon the machinery when Chief Engi-
neer A. L. Geer of Tampa went into the
boiler-room
Geer had been drinking. BY mistake or
accident he opened IA stop-cock, turning the
full pressure of steam into pipes that had
been found defective. Instantly there came
a terrific explosion that wrecked the room,
instantly killing Geer, John Wilsey, assist
ant; William Green, a fireman, and Peter
Walsh, a machinist, were so scalded that
they are all dying at the Reina Mercedes
hospital.
The Fanita is the steamer that left Mo-
bile last summer loaded with munitions of
war, ostensibly for General Gomez, but
really for San DOMINICAN filibusters who
tried to effect landing from the Fanita
at Monte Cristo and start a revolution
there but were driven off.
