pAPAL TITLES IN FRANCE.

The Pope has conferred the dignity of
Count" on M. Poubelle-the first honor
of the kind since 1870. Gambetta ought
to culver in his grave with anger. But,
after all, what else could be expected of
the opportunism he was led into at the
Paiais Bourbon? The new Papal Count
was project of the Seine for good
many years 1t was thought that he
was fixture at the Hotel de Vile. He
migra ted there when M. Casimir Perier
insisted on turning, and at once, the
Pavilion Flore into a ministry Of colo
MES. The town council had for twenty
two years stood out against the project
of the Seine residing at the Hotel de
Vile.
M Poubelle as project distinguished
himself by two edicts. One was for the
muzzling Of dogs, and the other to pro-
hibit offal being thrown into the streets
at night for dust-carts to pick it up in
the morning. The offal of each fiat was
to be carried down to the dust-carts in
a galvanized sheet-iron pail, made ac-
cording to a pattern he prescribed.
There was great wailing among the rag
pickers Of Montmartre, who were re-
duced to dire distress. A hardware
the reform made a gigantic fortune
with his dust-pails, which were then
named Poubelles, and are yet so called.
Count de Poubelle, to call him by his
Vatican title, is an extremely tall man,
built in proportion. He is certainly a
fine-looking man, and some might think
him handsome. He would be superb as
gold-stick-in-w waiting, supposing NJ.
Faure can create such functionary in
time for the 1900 exhibition, when so
many soveregns are expected. Or had
his lines been cast in humber life, he
would have been a splendidly imposing
and pompous butler.
Papal titles are rather looked down
upon in France. But people soon forget
their origin. Who now remembers that
Comte de Chaudordy was, in Louis Phi
lippe's reign, M Renard, or that Comte
de Morny, under the second empire, had
no title, and owes the one he bears to the
grace of the Holy Father? The Pope
was a temporal sovereign when he en-
nobled both diplomats. But his right to
confer such dignities is now less than
f1imsy--it is shadowy. AS the sale of
titles helps to replenish the exchequer of
the Vatican, it may be that M. Poubelle
has paid for the honor of being count
and his wife a countess. Official ladies'
here are as fond of titles as Chicago
heiresses. A title gives the right to en-
broider a comet on the body linen. 1t
is pleasant in a railway train to pour
scent on a coroneted pocket-handker-
chief La Marechale Mel thought 80, I
dare say in the summer of 1859. Her
husband escaped the carnage of one of
the battles fought that year in Lombar-

adds and the terrible blunders of the
general, victory to the French. His
wife was with him when his marshals

Napoleon III. Mel thought that Nine

fortunately broken. Many Indian
graves, lined with oyster shells and
containing handfuls of moldering bowls
have been discovered here from time to
, time. AS the strength of these tribes
declined and vanished, a few isolated
Indians sometimes revisited the haunts
ftheir ancestors, and till this day
stories of their curious individuality
are current
There was one latter-day old Indian
called Saw Buck, who often visited
towns in this section and along the
Connecticutriver, about 100 years ago,
and he was noted for his trckery. At
that time the Indians had right to
all the basket timber which they came
across, no matter upon whose land it
might be- Squire Wright of Clinton had
tree growing in the center of large
field or his farm, and it was the only
shade tree on the lot One winter day
Saw Buck came to see the squire and
said: Saw Buck want tree for bask-
ets," describing the one in the field.
ooh, no." said the squire, don't take
it, Saw Buck, but come and have some
cider" To which proposition, Of course,
the Indian assented, and then after
drinking his fill he went away.
But the next day he came again, de-
claring he must have the tree, and
again received more cider to buy him
off. Finding that his little dodge Of
getting cider out of the squire worked
so well, he kept it up. AS it was win
ter the squire had not been to the lot
for some time, and finally, concluding
he had given the Indian enough cider
to close the bargain, refused to give
him any more. When he told him that
was enough for not cutting down the
tree, the cute old Indian replied; Saw
Buck cut down tree long ago"
An old squaw called Else. also, has
left a memory about here and an anus
ing reply of hers has become a sort of
a by-word. She had a pig, and as the
squaw lived down on the beach and
came to the nearby villages to work,
the pig was left to do the best it could,
for quite long periods at time. One
lady asked Else what her pig did for
food when she stayed away SO long,
and the old squaw answered: =" She's
got enough to last her, if she mighter
be prudent
The skeleton recently found, should it
not be that Of an Indian, might be that
of an English soldier, as two were
buried on the beach in one of the ear
ly wars.

INDIAN "REMINISCENCES.
Recalled by the Finding of Skele


Recalled by the Finding of a Skele-
ton at Clinton.
The discovery of the skeleton , sup
posed to be that of an Indian, several
weeks ago, down near Hammock Point,
SAYS the Hartford Courant, has reviv-
ed some old stories, reminiscent of
the period of Indian habitation in this
vicinity The little river which divides
the town of Clinton once was the divid-
ing line of the powerful tribes Of Ham
monassett and Menunketesett Indians,
and to this day is called Indian river.
Anent the finding of the skeleton a le-
genu survives Oh once mighty CnleI
of the Momenketesetts, and who own
ed all the land about here for some
pOmp down on the shore. Old men here
member the stories which their
Grandmothers told of the red men, how
they came down in certain seasons and
pitched their wigwams along the bluff,
for the purpose Of getting sea food. In
a large field, which now lies somewhat
back from the main street, celebrated
Indian battle was fought between the
Menunketesetts and Hammonassetts
for the right over the neghboring wa
tars.
All the fields about here, for some
miles, have yielded rich crops of ar
row heads and other war-like imple-
ments; and not long ago an Indian clay
pot was turned UP by q plow. and un-

CONVICT LABOR IN MANILA.

Major Bean is astonishing the natives
in Manila. AS warden of the peniten-
tiary, called the, preside in sonorous
Spanish, he has introduced manufac-
lures along with moderate treatment Of
the convicts, and as there are no trades
unions in the Philippines to be vexed
by competition of prison labor, he is
making an unqualified success of it.
He was appointed governor of the pre-
sidio October. 1, and December 1 the
additional command Of the Bilibid pris-
on, which would be called a workhouse
here, was assigned to him as inspector.
A letter from Major Bean has come
to w. A. Rudo of st. Paul, telling how
he is faring and what he has accom-
plished. He has three jails under his
charge, the preside, which is the peni-
tertiary; the Bibibid military prison,
where fifty-nine soldiers were confined
under sentence Of courts martial,
number that was unfortunately grow
ing, and the Bilibid prison, which is the
county jail. In the penitentiary he had
1900 prisoners, and there he had estab-
lished manufactures "Since assuming
charge" he says, II have commenced
manufacturing, and this, my second
month, will turn out fine. VIII turn out
over one thousand bamboo beds for the
soldiers this month. Have commenced
making brooms and am going to make
success of it--and they are the first
made in the island" 1t is characteris-
tic that one of the first industries
should be broom factory. But he
doesn't say anything about soap. I'm
addition we make trunks, valises, carve
conch-shells, make carved ebony canes
souvenir silver spoons, buffalo-horn
spoons, and lots of other things. st

HAD A voRAc1oUs APPETITE.


A Rocky Hill farmer astonished the
bystanders in eastman & Walsh's store
on Saturday by his voracious appitite.
He bought some groceries and then dis
covered a tub of oysters and inquired
what was the price. This seemed high
and he asked what he would charge for
what he could eat. Mr.. eastman said
fifty cents. "All right" said the far
mer, bring on the oysters Mr.. Cash
man set quart of raws before him
and he soon had disposed of them. He
called for second quart and they too
were eaten. Handing back the meas
ure he exclaimed, II could have got
away with another, but had darned
good breakfast of beans down street"
The farmer certainly is entitled to the
champion belt for eating.-Hartford

SUPERB DECORATIONS.
The Armory Was Transformed Into O
Veritablc Fatryland.


After nearly a week of careful and
thorough labor on the part of several
scores of artists in the decorative line,
carpenters and florists, the immense
Second regiment armory was trans
formed into veritable fairyland, and
at 6 o'clock last evening all was in
readiness for the promenade. The
transformation wrought in the build
ing was simply phenomenal and who'll
ly beyond the Imagination Of any one
who has never been fortunate to at
tend this the most important and bril-
liant of social functions that are strict
ly in the hands of the undergraduates
of Yale. The great bare walls were hid
den from view by thousands of yards
of beautiful bunting. Pink and white
were the prevailing colors, with just
enough green to set 1t off and make it
most pleasing to the eye. On entering
the building one had to pass through
great broad aisle, which was lined with
massive palms. Just over the main
door leading into the ball room proper
or the main floor was suspended large
American flag.
Within all was brilliancy and splen-
dor. The numerous boxes We're ar
ranged at each end and along the sides
of the building. These We're for the
most part beautifully adorned and dec
grated, some of the furnishings being
supplied by the committee, while the
rest was the property of the men who
occupied them. Yale pillows and flags
were used in abundance. Many large
divans and window seats were brought
into use. These We're covered with all
sorts of cushions and pillows, affording
opportunities for many quiet little tetes
under the watchful eye of the chaper-
ones.

tin said to Sentinel reporter that the
greatest exhibit at the fair was poultry.
A turkey owned by Tennessee man
took first prize at the fair. 1t brought

name of the owner of the bird "The
poultry at the fair, j" said Mr.. Austin,
"was by far the best. Cotton is no
longer king in the south. Poultry has
long since taken its place, and I am
proud to say that Tennessee now leads
the van in poultry raising. The East
Tennessee mountaineers have given up
moonshining, the better class has Civ
en- up looking for booms by eastern
capitalists digging for iron and coal;
they have now turned their attention to
raising fine poultry, and, l am glad to
say, are making good money"
Mr.. Austin says that johnson City is
the poultry center. Mr.. Austin raises
only thoroughbred fowls. He says that
he has orders from as far as Central
America, not to speak of orders from
all over the states. Knoxville Sentinel.

The proposed railway from Newport
by way of the Pigeon River into the
Carolinas is q matter of Importance to
the people of Greene county &C we'll as
to those of Cooke county. We do not
know what prospect there is for build
ing this line but if built it will not stop
at Newport, but will be'extended so as
to open the vast timber and mineral
belt on the south side of this county
along the mountain range, and also
probably to the establishment of a north
and south line extending in the direc-
ton of Big Stone Gap and opening a
direct line in that direction to the coal
fields. ~ reeneville correspondent in

y The above has reference to a line of
road that is to be built by VIM. E. Up
