 Mardi Gras In Paris.
 Paris, February 24-Parisians cele- brated Mardi Gras with the usual en- thusiasm. Early In the afternoon the boulebards were thronged with merry makers engaging with much zest in the sport of confetti throwing. while all the windows were filled with spectators watching the gay scene. The weather was bright and sunny, though a bleak, clustering wind blew the confetti through the aid in clouds of varied hues. The crowd was so dense after dark that ve- hicular traffic became impossible along the boulevards. Many pedestrians were masked and attired in grotesque cos tunes Every seat in front of the cafes from the Church of Madeline to the Porte St. Dennis was opened by onlook- CTS. It was only toward midnight that the crowds thinned sufficiently to per. init the omnibuses to resume their usual routes along the grand boulevards.

CHEAPER ARTICLES
 WERE SUBSTITUTED
EVIDENCE IN THE CASE OF THE FURS STOLEN FROM THE LATE MRS. CHARLES L. FAIR HEARD BY CONSUL.

Paris. February 24-The investigation into the mysterious change of the furs of the late Mrs. Charles L. Fair was re- sumed before Consul General Gowdy to- day. Four affidavts from San Francisco witnesses were read. One was made by Marguerite Mahon, Mrs. Fairs maid. who said the dark fur cloak and huff received garments which Mrs. Fair possessed and used An affidavit of Charles L. Neal, administrator of the Fair estate, de- clared that the Russian sable originally cost S4OOO and added that the articles re- ceived are not the originals. Mr. Neal swore on information and belief that the originals were abstracted from Mrs Fairs s effects and that inferior articles sub stitutued. He exonerated the American customs officials from any connection with or knowledge of the substitution. The other affdavits were of general character.
 The appraisers here state that the arti- cles shown are not those which they previously appraised.
 The investigation has fully established the substitution. MT. Gowdy also con siders that the evidence vindicates the forwarding companies. The investigation is not sufficiently advanced to warrant more than suspicious regarding the iden- tity of those who are responsible for the substitution.
 Consul General Gowdy expresses sur nrisa at the renort nuhlished in the United States that a considerable quantity or iewelrv which belonged to the late Mrs. Ellen Gore had been stolen after her death here He says she had no Jeweiry at the time she was shot and as 1t was clearly shown that she needed money. the woman must have sold or hypothe- cated her jewelry.
