UV0o CHI Comfort.

In the best hotel in Paris II gets
luxury, comfort and even splendor, but
never ones cards or notes, according
to Harper's Bazaar. There Is a fatak
gulf for these. One Is IA number, not
an Individuality. The table Is, how.
ever, very luxurious. 1t IS a clean and
well ordered caravansary. AS for the
comfort of warmth in winter, they do
not know the meaning Of the word.
We are justly accused Of exaggerating
the heat Of Il rooms In America; the
furnace is denounced: but after freez-
Ing to death In Paris, one Of the cold
est Of cities, very far north, one re-
turns willingly to the heated rooms of
America.
We eXaggerate the excellence Of the
French bed. There Is nc such thing In
France as that comfortable, broad, low
thing which we call a French bed. A

We e~xaggerate our comforts by hav-
Ing gas in our sleeping rooms and hot
and cold water In our stationary wash
bowls and bathrooms. They never ex-
aggerate comfort in Fra.lce. You have
as many candles as you will pay for,
and no bath, unless you order it, when
men laboriously bring you a tub filed
with hot or cold water, and take 1t
away after you have bathed.
We ~exaggerate very much the sup

a hotel In Paris to live we must expect
out of the season very little good food.
very little that Is sustaining and nour-

STEAMBOAT IN SPECTION
During the Last Year 4O4 Persons Lost
 Their Lives.

Washington, September 7.-The annual report of General Dumont, the supervising inspector general of steamboat inspection, shows that the total number of accidents to steam vessels during the year was forty eight, of which seven were from fire, thirteen collisions, eight breaking steam pipes, two explosions, and eighteen from snags, wrecks and sinking. The loss of life was 4O4, an increase over the pre- vieus year of 123 Of this number the cause of death in eighty-six cases was ac- cidental drowning, 213 from wrecks, etc., thirteen from fire, thirty-one from collis- ions, twenty-four from explosion or acci- dental escape of steam, and thirty-seven from miscellaneous causes. Of the whole, 15S were passengers, and 246 belonged to crews of vessels.
 The increase in tine loss of life this year over the year 1897 was due to the loss of the steamer Portland, of the Massachu- setts coast during a gale on the night of November 27, 1898, when every soul on board, 127, perished. In view Of the fact that some of the maritime nations charge fees for the inspection of steam vessels belonging to other nations, the advisability is suggested of amending section 400 of the revised statutes as to provide foreign pas- senger steamers inspected in the United States shall be charged the same fees that the nation to which such vessels belong would charge American steam vessels if engaged in trade with such nationality, giving the secretary of the treasury the power, however, in such amended statute to discontinue the collection of fees in the case of vessels of any nation which shall reciprocate in the non-collection or en- forcement of such inspection fees
 General Dumont recommends that the office of assistant supervising inspector be created.

kets, Leipsie. London and New York. The advance in prices was then fixed, but fl is only the following autumn that it is made known. to the general public. It so hap pens, too, that fashion has decreed furs shall be worn, both in garments and as trimming, this year more than ever before.
 Russian sable will be 25 per cent. higher than 1t was this time year ago; Hudson Bay sable 50 per cent; silver, blue and brown fox. S0 per cent; chinchilla, 15 per cent. sealskin, 20 per cent; skunk, 15 per cent, and mink 20 per cent. These furs will be favorites in the order named, the silver fox and Russian sable competing for popularity.
 For two years the price of furs has steadily raised and from indications 1t will continue to until only the wealthy can af- ford to wear the finer skins. The present condition of things is due more probably to the increased demand of the trade than from any scarcity of fur-bearing animals.
 Silver fox, which is to be extremely fashionable this winter, is a fur hard to get in quantities large enough to meet the demand for it. The Hudson Bay company controls the trade in this fur, and the whole catch annually is only 4,500 skins. One of the vessels of this company foun- dered with a cargo of furs last spring, in which were included 200 picked slver-fox skins.
 A member of the largest importing house in this country, commenting yesterday up- on some rich American women preferring to buy their sahles and other highly prized furs abroad, said:
 They labor under a mistake when they think they can buy Russian sable better abroad than in this country We import U c1x inc an1 It is granted abroad that the finest dress ing is given furs on this side of the Att lantic.
 Now. it is said that the finest skins are not sent to this country. That is an- other mistake. You can get the finest to be had if you pay the price asked for it. See this garment" he went on, taking out of its satin-lined case a shimmering, downy. sable cape. That is small and it's price Is 5000, and that boa" holding up a roll which fell an arms length down over the shoulders, "is $1 ,25O."
 As another illustration of the beautiful furs brought into this country, suit was shown by the merchant, skirt of sweep ing length and jacket of the same ma- terial with a great rolling collar of rich sable The material was the skins of un- born Persian lambs, texture exquisite in appearance and touch.
 The Russian furs are all auctioned at Leipsic; the skins at last Marchs auction were bought almost entirely by French houses and by the big New York importers, practically freezing out all the rest of the world on this fur. Single raw skins brought $250 and 1t takes three for a boa. The Hudson Bay company's market is London. All native American furs are auctioned in New York before the London market opens. The Americans select the best in mink skunk, Alaska seals and other na- tive furs What is left was sent over to the London market.
