SHAH A STRANGE RULER.
His Eccentricities q Source of Wonder
 to Englishmen.


 The visit of the shah of Persia to London, which ended on Monday. has been in one sense a disappointment. He does not display the delightful, but o1ten embarrassing, unconventionality with which his late father, on his two visits. took London by storm. The present shah is a man of considerable education, even from a western stand point. He has not offered as his father on more than one occasion did, to pur- chase even one of his charming host esses from their husbands, although he admired and much praised the London policemen to an extent to express a de- sire that he would like to buy a few of them. Nevertheless, the shah was es- tablished from the first as popular favCrite. He was received with cheers whenever he appeared in a place of public amusement, which even General De Wet CT Lord Kitchener would not complain of. These demonstra tions he received, as he does nearly all of the attempts to entertain him, with the inn passivity fitting to a despot whose titles are king of kings, shadow of God, center of the universe, the we'll of sci ence, the footpath of heaven, the sub lime sovereign whose standard is the sun, and whose splenGor is that of the Armament, and the monarch of armies numerous as the stars, etc. Yet, every now and again he is unable to preserve his oriental calm. A troupe of per forming dogs was the first thing able to betray him into more than a smile, and couple of French clowns pro- voked a hearty laugh.
 On the majority of occasions the shah appeared more simply clad than some of his suite, but several times he dis played magnificence, indicating the pos session of greater wealth in precious stones than any monarch. Once a gen. tleman who is an expert in these mat ters, after examining the shah closely, said if he were put up at auction in Christie's as he stood he would fetch, at the lowest calculation, $3, 750,000 for the jewels he was wearing.
 Nothing seems to have pleased or impressed the shah more than his visit to the king in Cowes. The military pomp of the reception and the royal salutes fired by the warships, which were dressed in his honor evidently pleased him, while the king and the queen, on the royal yacht, effected a complete conquest of the shah, who was undisguisedly taken by the king s reception. All the onlookers remarked on this point particularly. The corre- spondent of the Times, in describing the leavetaking. says the shah appeared al- most unwilling to go. King Edward and himself shook hands and saluted again and again. but still he fingered, talking almost eagerly and certainly with far more animation than has been seen during a reception of the shah on any other occasion.

PUFF OF POWDER SPOILS IT.
Society Refuses to Dress in Colonial
 Costume for Mrs. Fish's Ball.

Y
 Poor Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is experi- encing no end of difficulty and disap- pointment in connection with her col onial ball at Newport next week. First it was the men who protested so much against her edict that they should shave off their moustaches and boards that she was obliged to withdraw it. although hirsute adornments or this kind will appear ridiculously incongru- ous with costumes of the times of the colonial epoch.
 And now I hear that quite a number of women--and some of the most fash ionable ones at that-have made up their minds to content themselves with merely powdering their hair, refusing to go to the trouble and expense of hav- ing gorgeous eighteenth century cos tunes made solely for that one eveT- ing.
 If Mrs. Fish objects to their attending her dance in this guise, and they stay away in consequence thereof, the en- tertainment will be doomed to failure. Indeed, the outlook for the ball is not a rosy one by any means. for, what with half the men wearing boards and mcustaches in connection with coloni l dress, and many of the women being , arrayed in ordinary, up-tO-date gowns. with powdered hair as the sole conces- sion to Mrs. Fish's decree of fancy dress, the dance as spectacular effect will be disappointing, while number of those women who go to the length of donning eighteenth century costumes will feel uncomfortable by the knowl- edge that the are attracting invidious and unfriendly attention to their an- cestry. which would scarcely be de- scrbed as colonial.
 In one word, New York society, whether in town or Newport, does not take kindly to fancy dress balls The Bradley Martin entertainment of that kind was a dismal failure, while the one thing that preserved the celebrated Vanderbilt ball costume from similar fate was the presence of Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester. and the curios- ity of the fashionable set here to know something more of the ".

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years. during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands Of homes. yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manu- facturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears. it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it.

WORK OF CUBANCONGRESS.
Probability That Loan of Thirsy- Five Million Dollars Will
 be Authorized.
HOW THE MONEY WILL BE APPROPRIATED
Aid to He Extended Sugar Planters. the Cuban Juntn's Debts Paid and the LiberatinG Army to Be Paid For Their Services to the Amount of S23,0OO,000.

New York, Aug. 5.-The first impor- tant work of the Cuban congress is approaching a conclusion after sit ting oI little more than two months. At Saturday nights session of the senate the way was prepared for circulating $35, 100000 throughout the island by substantially approving the house bill for the circulation of this amount. The money, it is be- lieyed, will have the effect of reliev- ing considerably the present crisis. The Cuban congress considers it ad- visable to aid the sugar planters, pending efforts to obtain reciprocity at the next session of the American congress. The necessity is also rec ognized of paying the debt contract ed by the Cuban junta of New York in aid of the last revolution, and to pay the liberating army
 Authority has been granted for the appointment of a commission to fix and pay the amount due to the army. Gen. MaXimo Gomez probably will be the chairman.

GRAHAM BELLS AIRSHIPS.
Phe Great Telephone Inventors Air ship VIII be Seen at the St.
 Louis Worlds Fair.

Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis, Aug. 4.-lnformation has been re- ceived here that Prof. Alexander Ora ham Bell. inventor of tl.a telephone, is personally supervising the construc- tion of an airship at his home at Bad deck, Cape Breton. The craft is said to be the result of years of study on the part of Prof. Bell, and represents an expenditure of many thousands of dollars. It is 20' feet long. and is composed of 75 distinct parts. It is celled internally with canvas, and in places with linen stretched on piano wires. Five miles of his wire were used in the construction. The princi- pie of the kite will be utilized to a considerable extent in this machine, which is to carry human freight. This means that the aeroplane system, not used in any of SantosDumont's air ships, will be feature of Prof. Bells machine.
 Just what Prof, Bell hopes to ac- compiish with his airship is not cer- tain, but those who know him insist he intends to outdo Santos -Dumont in the conquering of the great prob- lem, and they predict machine ready for test of mettle with Santos -Du- mont's newest airship now building in this country for the Worlds fair aerial contests at St. Louis in 1904.

 These were the words contained in a dispatch at the Colombian legation Sunday night from Gen.

The officials here are anxiously waiting additional news of this battle. The understand ing here is that the governments force of about seven thousand men is engaged with a large portion of the revolutionists, who have in the department of Panama about four thousand men in all.

to borrow S35 1000 in American gold and issue national 35-year five per cent. bonds within six months. Four million dollars will be applied to the and of the cane growers and the agricultural and cattle industry generally. The money will be loaned at the rate of 50 cents for every 2.5o0 pounds of sugar grown in the last crop. The money is to be repaid in February, March or April of next year, drawing six per cent. interest. The bondholGers will have the GUS tomhouse receipts as a guarantee for the repayment ol the $4,o00,000. Presi- dent Palma will be authorizdd to in- crease the tariff duties on certain articles accordingly. The rest os the $35, ,000, 900 loan will be used for the payment of deDts contracted by the New York junta to support the revo lution, amounting to about S3,000, ,000, also for payment of services of the army, amounting to S23,000000. To bring this loan within the terms of the Platt amendment and other pro- visions of the Cuban constitution, the present congress, before adiournmg, will provide way to pay interest, and will establish a sinking fund to redeem the principal. This probably will be done by means of stamp tax. Any balance of the loan will be ap- piled to agriculture at the discretion of congress.
 The foregoing has been substantial ly approved by congress, only the details remaining for discussion. which will begin Monday in public sessions. l, is believed such a loan can be negotiated and taken care of without great difiieulaty. It will be Cuba's only national debt Business depression in the towns and poverty in the country are not decreasing
