The Passage SaumOn, Once a center CT
 Fashion. to Be Demolished.
 One more landmark of old Paris is to disappear. says the London Tele- graph The Passage Saumon, once the center of fashion, and situated in the heart of the metropolis, IS to be demol- ished and built over The ground will be offered for sale in the chamber of notaries. Half a century since the Passage Saumen was as fashionable as the Rue de la Paix is today. There the dressmakers and milliners of the old days prepared the finery which was to dazzle the eyes of the proyincials. Maids and matrons from tEe country f1ocked thither to buy Pamela hats and other articles of the kind and not few Parisiennes of the period were al- so dressed there. In it's vaeinity were famous restaurants, one of which, the Roeher de Cancale, still manages to exist. There, too, was the Theater Moliere; while, in the matter of liter ary reminiseenee it was in the Passage Saumon that Victor Hugo wrote part of Marion Delorme" one rainy day when he entered a cafe there. Al- phonse Daudet. too, has left detailed description of the place in one of his earliest books, Le Petit Chose. There are many Parisians ot the present gen. eration who do not even know where the Passage Saumon is. The spot has long been neglected for more stately and more menotonous localities in the west, wherein every well-dressed man and woman thinks and acts alike. It's glory is vanished, like that of the Pal- ais Royal, the Place des Vosges, and other localities famous in the social, artistic and political annals of France. The Passage Saumon is beyond the bourse and connects the Rue Mont martre with the Rue Montorgueuil. Not far from it was the old post office, where people arriving by dili- gences from all parts of France got down. Of late years the Arcade, once so brilliant, had become the dullest and dingiest of city resorts, and was inhabited by cheap milliners, small gro- cers, vendors of resuscitated tall hats and providers of faded fnery for fe- males with limited funds at their dis posal

 Park row has life by itself and m one can write it. It must he lived and lived for years, to be understood thoroughly. It is a life so varied and complex that 1t defes analysis and complete portraiture Certain nhaaes of it, caught here and there. may be shown to the outside world by clever people who have been in it and of if and this has been done by Jesse Lynch Willia44s in "The Stolen story.o The volume is collection of stories of Park row, and takes it's name from the opening sketch. The stories are faith full pictures, taken at random in the newspaper country, and are written with considerable skill Those who gre of Park row will appreciate them anl those, who are outside of the Newspaper world will find in the hook glimpses of life which cannot fail to attract their interest and appea1 to them from its novelty, if from nothing else Mr. Williams weakest story ia the last one in the book, The Old Reporter" story which he evidently intended to make the strongest. He wrote it with view to rounding out the whole subject and showing just what is the effect upon character of the news gathering and news writing depicted in the previous stories" In this it is a failure, and succeeds only in being what the other stories are sketch of certain phases of newspa- per life.

IMMENSE DEFALCATION.
Al }. Wagenman, Clerk Of the st. Louis
Criminal Court, Has Disappeared, Leav-
shortage OF $4,000.

st. Louis, Jan. 20. Al :, Wagenman,
clerk Of the court Of criminal correc-
ton, has disappeared, and it is said by
his intimate friends that he has con.
fessed to a subversion Of witness and
Jurors fees to the amount Of $50, 900.
His friends fear he has committed sui.
eide. Wagenman has filled one term as
the clerk of the court of criminal correc-
ton and was reelected to the office last
fall. Ever since the proposition to in
stitute Lexow committee and inves-
tigate the city affairs Of st. Louis Gas
made some weeks ago, Wagenman's
friends have noticed that he seemed
downcast and depressed A number of
them now claim that he told them he
feared the result of an investigation
into the affairs Of his office, as a dis.
crepancy would be discovered and he
would be ruined.
