SHtATS SUED FOR CIGARS.

the various candidates in the recent

ing the smoker to vote for So and

suit against W \. Sheats, State Su-
pcrintendent of Schools Of Florida,
for S64, the amount of an unpaid
bill for campaign cigars furnished
Mr. Sheats in his recent unsuccess-
full campain for denomination.
Mr.. Leonard SAYS he has been
paid by all the other candidates to
whom he furnished cigars. While
the Tribune cannot join with Mr..
Leonard in the statement that all it's
bills for political space have been
paid by the erstwhlle candidates, it
has not vet found it advisable to en-
ter suit for campaign debts, although
it cannot deny that remittances
would be very acceptable.

4 RAILROAD TO KEY WEST.

1t has been learned from a reli-
able source that the building of a
railroad between Miami and Kew
West is an assured fact. The work
will be begun about the first Of No
vember, and will be pushed with
great vigor to completion The best
engineers IN the country are being
engaged Ia carry on the work, and
the Iiiscayne has been fitted up to
AIRY men and tools tn complete the
survey between the Island CITY and
he mainland
Parties in close touch with the
railroad authorities assert that the
road will leave the mainland ut Key
Largo and follow that key and 9th
ers until the Island City is reached
and that the work will be completed
within three years.
Key West is much excited over
the project, and is indulging IN rosy
views as to the prospects before that
city after the iron horse begins tc
make his regular runs.
Railroad authorities are not civ
ing out any information, but the
preparation Of boats and other ap
pliances evidently means that som,
great work is to be undertaken
somewhere.

Pigeons.

The excessive number of pigeons in
the city-we mean the pathological
variety-is exciting the attention of the
corporation. The dispersal of the New
gate colony has led to the oyerpopula-
ton of others, and it would almost
seem that the fear of a tax on corn has
suggested to certain municipal minds
the question whether the expense OF
feeding the pigeons at the Guildhall
can any longer be borne by the wealth.
lest corporation in the world. The gem
era1 feeling seems to be that it can. 1t
is interesting to learn, on the author-
ity of T. HI. Ellis, that there are thirty
five congregations of pigeons in the
city, and clearly the citizens love to
have it so. On the other hand 1t is
believed that it will be wise, in future,
to limit the number of these compan-
ionable invaders. How this is to be
done is not stated. A few years ago
a hawk swooped down into the Guild
hall yard and bore n away to the
paraIytic establishment of the police.
But this means of depopulation cannot
be relied on. 1t is said, but we do not
youch for it, that at a great London
hotel whenever q pigeon has been or
dered by a guest there is a pigeon the
fewer on the roof. What is quite cer-
tain is thst London loves its feathered
cockneys, and will have them killed
only to save them.-London Daily

In The Shah's Palace.

The palace of the Shah of Persia,
according to Donald Stuart, in "The
Struggle for Persia" is an appalling
combination Of dinginess and splen-
dor, of squalor and luxury. One OF the
most interesting rooms is that filled
with the portraits of all the monarchs
of Europe. In the next o is his
majesty's writing desk. Here stands
a globe such as may be seen in a
schoolroom, except that the continents
are made with gems of different color,
and all the names and rivers are
in diamonds. On the walls a painting
by an old master is framed next to
a highly colored advertisement of a
dealer in fishhooks. The throne itself
is a sort of wooden bed, about nine
feet by six. the woodwork covered with
diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sap
phires, some an inch long. The ySiPe
of the whole is estimated roughly at
$5,O0O,0O 0 or Sc, 100000. On the floor OF
the throne is a carpet SO thick with
pearls that the texture of 9he clotn
is hardly visible, while a&Suge vase,
set with turquoises anA 3fls, stands
side by side with a CHI painted urn
such as is sometimes cen at country
fairs.
