Talking Man ok Samoa.

Samoa's talking man, or "Tolafali," l" is character. All the affairs of state of the village in which he holds office are carried upon his shoulders. In ordi- nary he is the chief adviser, persuader, convincer and restrainer of the leading chiefs. Having the gift of eloquence, he makes the most of it. He en joys inn munity from many things. He cannot be spoken of in ordinary terms. If it should be necessary to speak Of his eyes or his mouth or his limbs, special honor able words must be used-words which attach to him alone and have never been applied to the personal parts of ordinary men. As he stands to deliver his soft, persuasive, mellifuous oratory, with staff of office in his hand and his fly duster thrown over his shoulder, anyone can see that he is a man of great importance, or, if this is not apparent from his attitude, it may be gathered from the attention paid to his utter ances by gray-haired chiefs and by youths and maidens. If the talking man is clever fellow and understands his business, he is the chief ruling pow CT of his tribe, although the nominal headship is always vested in a chief or pstriarchial fgurehead.-N.

THE GUERIN FARCE
An American Describes a LudicrOus Incident of the Excitement
 in Paris.

A. J. Barton, a New York commission merchant, who comes direct from Paris, in conversation with some friends gave an amusing description of the siege of Castle Guerin. "The ludicrous feature of the affair to American eyes" he said, "is the extreme courtesy exhibited by both sides. l was lucky enough to have q letter 10 an official of some promi- hence, and he had Q lieutenant of police detailed to accompany me to the Rue Chabrol, where Guerin' 's>house is locat- ed. In that way was enabled to pass the lines of guards, which were sta- toned at all the adjacent corners, and took my stand directly opposite the premises. While I was staring at the closed shutters, a middie-aged man, wearing a shiny silk hat, approached between TWO policemen. One of the lat Ser knocked at the front door with The Iilt of bis short sword and then sprang back and struck an attitude on the curb. In a moment little latticed window in one of the panels was flung open and mans head appeared. The poi4SSAldh OOhCO luAplCSShC1g anu pointed to his companion with the shiny hat, who advanced, saluted and present0l a large envelope which he held in his hand E learned afterward that it was personal letter which the authorities had permitted to be deliv- cred. The ceremony concluded with more bows and salutesson both sides, and the latticed window waSsclosed. I roared with laughter, simply couldn't help 1.-the whole thing was so incred- ibly absurd. The idea of man locking himself in his house in the heart of great city and defying arrest is emi- nenuy Gallic. Tn. our country a big, double-fisted policeman would smash down the door with couple of kicks and Guerin and His. friends would be inside patrol wagon before they could count 40. I explained this to my escort and he was clearly shocked On the way back we passed man seated be- fore c2fe-in the Boulevard Haussmann. He was maudlin drunk. and every few seconds he would bswl: Mort aux Juifsl' at the top of his voice.

CHINESE CLOTHING.
1t YE by No Means Made of the COm- mon Blue Cloth 1t Looks
 to Be.

To wear your grandfather's coat would not seem much of an honor, but to John Chinaman it is the greatest felicity. Not only is the common-look- ing, shapeless blue blouse of his an- cestor prized because it is his ancestors $, but because of it's intrinsic value. The clothing usually worn by the Chinese is of the purest silk, and costs anywhere from $100 to S=50 suit.
 As a nation the Chinese object to wearing clothing of any other kind, and centuries of experiment have taught them how best to make up the costly caterpillar thread into the most durable form. On this account the Chinese dress, though of purer materiaE. has none of the sheen usually associated with silk, peculiarity which has re- suited in the erroneous ideas as to their composition. All the garments are made in China, and are only exported for the personal use of celeStials in for eign countries.
 Owing to their cost, however, they are only purchased at long intervals, each garment being of so durable a character that they are handed down to the third and even the fourth genera tion. Wear appears to rather improve them than otherwise, with the result that the coat of the father or grandfa- ther often has more intrinsic value than the newer and less worn articles. An other article peculiar to the Chinese is the felt slippers they invariably wear. These are of peculiar shape, and are also imported from the native country, where the method of treating felt un-- til it almost rivals leather for wear is kept a close secret. - Cincinnati En- quirer.

BIG BILL FOR SPORT.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Fun Will Cost
 a Million Dollars
The Yacht Races Have Cost Both Sides More Than Ever Re- fore The ChalIenger'E
 Running Expenses.

Sir Thomas Lipton's decision not tC challenge again for the Americas cul before 1901 is better understood whel the cost of this years racing with tht Shamrock is known.
 The races this season have cost mora on both sides than ever before. But the challenger, having to cross the ocean and race his yacht in foreign waters has borne the greater expense. The Shamrock itself, in construction and equipment, is said on pretty good au- thority to have cost nearly $4GO,O Sir Thomas has admitted that he spent on the boat more than six times as much as Lord DunFaven did on the last Valkyrie, ard Yalkyrie II. COST $60,o0O. Figuring on the S4O0, ,0O0 basis, it is easy to show that the English bar onet has spent about a million dollars on his seasons sport.
 While in this country Sir Thomas has main ntained fleet of six vessels, including the Shamrock. He has had his flagship, the Erin, come from Eng land. It is a sumptuous steam yacht, with a staff of stewards, cooks and servants to attend to his many guests. Then there was the Plymouth, a steam tender, on which the Shamrock's crew, inc many carpenters, sailmakers, rig gers and machILists slept and ate, tugboat for towing purposes when the Shamrock was becaimed, small steam launch and small steamboat which rau betwen the Sandy Hook anchorage and the Battery to transport Sir Thomas guests. Besides maintaining this fleet the baronet entertained in royal fash ion, more than score of guests hay- ing been brought from England at his own expense and many of them being provided by him with accommodations at the most expensive New York hotels. Sir Thomas also brought over his pri- Vate physician to attend to the party, and a painter, Chevalier de Martino, who was to produce marine views in oil of the cup races. On race days the baronet employed band.
 All this cost Sir Thomas about $2, 800 day in running expenses, and the rac- ing this year, owing to lack of wind, was prolonged over twice the usual period. A million dollars, everything taken into consideration, is not thought 10 be an excessive estimate ot Sir Thomas sport bill. And he lost the races. Besides, the Shamrock is utter ly worthless for any other purpose than trying for the Americas cup. An old sea captain, looking at the Shamrocl: and the Columbia, said: What would poor man do with boat like that? He couldn't use her. He couldn't keep her. 10 turn her around would cost money. He couldn't even burn her, for there's little to burn on. her.. an,l she wouldn't bring much at sale"
 Sir Thomas Lipton is a millionaire many times over. He is also a bachelor, and has no near relatives, it is said. He can afford to spend S1,0O0,OOO now and then on some yacht races, but not every season. It is not surprising that he should decide not to indulge in the luxury of challenge again inside of two years.-Springfeld (Alass.) Repub- ican.
