THE FRENCH BALL New York;

The FRENCH BALL New York 5
annual revel, the French Ball, took
place last night in Madison Square
Garden. The ball was much like its
predecessors. Ii began with grand
patriotic pageant and ballet at 1880
O'Clock, aud continued till about four
o'clock this morning. The great audi
forum of the garden was ablszo
with electric lighte, in which the
gay costumes of the women present
showed to much advantage. Large
quantities of wine were consumed, and
high kicking by some of the dancers set
the pace for the more timid The iea-
ture of the ball, however, was a dance in
which the dress of Americas new colo
Dies was shown. The costume of the
Philippine lady attracted much atten-
ton. Among the things she did not
wear was ring in her nose. The ma
jority of the jewellers were, of course,
Americans, the French element beiI q
overshadowed by the gilded youth q
Gotham. This function is supposed to
be very naughty, hence its popularity
in New York. The proceeds of the
hall, which are enormous, go to help
INDECENT French Americans in New
York.

Mr.. BACON of Georgia in his speech
in opposition TO the Spanish treaty in
the Senate yesterday, said:
"The American people bad enough to
do in developing their own country,
which, exclusive of Alaska, was am
pie for population of SOC, 100000. snd
in developing our own resources there
was enough TO tax the energies and in
spires the hopes of our people for CEN
turie to come"
But the expansionists don't take
such plain, ommon-sense view of the
case. They believe in foutiug the
wise advice of General Washington, in
terfering with foreign nations, and
Selling and holding all territories their
might enables them to conquer, and 10
let the government thereof deperd
upon contingencies.

CANTON, O., August 6.-President
Mckinley has purchased the "Mckin-
ley Cottage" at the corner OF North
Market street and Louis avenue. Inc
deal was closed Saturday. The con-
sideration was $14,5OO. He will Sc
cure possession in October. The pro-
perty was not on the market. 1t Is
endeared to the President and Mrs.
Mckinley as their first home, where
they began housekeeping, and by
many memories. The lot is 100 feet
front on Market street by 244 on Louis
avenue.
The front veranda shows the most
wear from the campaign OF 1896, Wnen
the home was the political mecca for
nearly a million people.
Before leaving Canton for the in
auguration President Mckinley tried
to buy the house. 1t is not believed
that Mrs. Hartes would have sold the
place to any one else. 1t is belleVed
to be the Presidents intention 10
spend a part of each summer IN can
ton. The interior of the house mas al
ways been roomy and cool and COM

Many Cantonians have expressed a
fear that the President might be IN
duced to accept one of the many lnvl-
tations which the papers have reported
as being made to secure his residence
elsewhere. The news that the deal Is
closed causes great satisfaction here.
