The Hon. W. II. Ellis or Texas.

II there be any truth in the reported
illness and approaching dissolution Of
our esteemed contemporary MENELIK,
King of Abyssinia, it is not at all
improbable that We shall soon hear
something of more or less importance
concerning that very remarkable colored
person w. H. ELLIS, formerly of Texas.
ELLIS has vanished from the public view
Of late years, but at one time, not so
very long ago, he occupied the front OF
the stage in connection with a highly
dramatic incident OF international con-
sequence and lingering memory.
Properly by relevant events,
we shall have no difficulty in recalling
the famous expedition to Adds Abeba
conducted by that truly great man,
Consul SKINNER, then stationed at Mar
settles. Conceived in the common sense
reaction which followed our Pickwickian
naval demonstration before Beirut in
Asia Minor, that expedition contemplated
peaceful and, OF course, profitable COM
merce with the fruit smeared children Of
the tangled bush who inhabit Abyssinia
in large and formidable numbers and
from whose desultory industry their
native land accumulates those vast
stores which long have invited foreign
enterprise and fairly solicited an opulent
interchange Of alarm clocks, oroide
bangles. Connecticut mirrors and cotton
pantalettes, But, Of course, everybody
now remembers the Skinner expedition.
We remember also that the Skinner
Washington Of a particularly impressive
protocol of a commercial treaty between
the United States and Abyssinia, which
protocol wa despatched, some time in
1908, by the hands Of the brother of the
Hon. FRANCIS B. LOOMS, then Assistant
Secretary of State. 1t Is a matter
of history and common knowledge,
furthermore, that young LOOMS was
accompanied by the aforesaid colored
gentleman, W H. ELLIS; that young
LOOMS ~fell overheard and was
drowned just before the ship touched
Southampton, England; and that ELLIS
subsequently turned up in Paris with
the protocol and, by instructions from
Washington. was expedited ON his way
to Abyssinia as the official representative
of the Tn ted States.
A very pleasant and ~reassuring recol-
lection altogether, rs the most unimag-
NATIVE person must admit. Young
LOOMS is dead, to be sure; and ELLIS,
who went on TO foregather with King
M~ENELIK-in the capacity Of the United
States representative-has bashfully
avoided public inspection ever since.
But ELLIS, who asserted himself in
Washington rs a gilded, bedizened and
staggering millionaire, covered with
gold and jewelry like some barbaric
potentate, and exuding largesse after
the fashion Of the fourteenth century
ELLIS is still to be heard from. At
last accounts he regarded himself as the
obvious and proper successor to the
throne OF Abyssinia.
He hasn't disappeared for nothing.

has had the good fortune to see Barcelona
a corroborate the modest statements
made in the circular as to the delightful
climate and the opportunities for amuse-
ment and instruction. The city has grown
very much Of late years and the municipal
authorities rave tried their best to make
it beautiful. 1t has a fine opera and good
hotels and is near to Montserrat.
All this has been Offset. however. in the
opinion of the municipal authorities, by
the notoriety given to political disturb
ances In their city. The chief object Of their
circular is to assure travellers that, what
yer political or social troubles may arise.
Galatians and S~paniards fight them out
among themselves and foreigners are
always respected and let alone. They
might add. too, that disturbances are not
more frequent in Barcelona than in any
large town Of southern Europe.

Spanish Grandee . Cab Driver.

From the London Globe,
One OF the striking vicissi,udes OF life has been
revealed by the death OF an old French cabman
at Saint GERMAN IN -Laye. II transplres that the
unfortunate old fellow was entitled TO style himself
the Marquis de Loz de Gouet -Gouraud.
IL Is an old Spanish peerage. and in his earlier
days the last unfortunate holder OF the title had
lived In circumstances bentting his rank. But
the latter part OF his life was clouded By constant
misfortune, and at last, two years ago. poverty
compelled him In his old age TO take to driving a
cab TO exc out a wretched existence.

There is something fascinating about
the idea OF smuggling by airship. To the
diamond dealer it should prove irresistible.
But preventive flyers will not be necessary
TO protect the customs. A~eronauts could
be searched and their baskets inspected
before IN ascent. and the telephone would
do the rest. In topical fiction we shall
soon hear Of the smuggler OF the air.
