Notice II.

PARIS. Jan. 20.-Paris has at last
grown tired OF foreigners, after having
for years done her best to attract them.
A leading Paris paper the other day
voiced the sentiment of many when it
complained that too little French was
heard In Paris. The man who asks you
for information in the street. the lady
who dimes next 10 you in your favOrite
restaurant. the dealer who tries 10 en-
tice YOU into buying makc-belieye
antiquities. the tailor who takes your
measure. all these people speak hor-
rible jargon. and their pronunciation OF
our beautiful language is enough 10
make anyone shudder.
The paper asked the project Of police
why this is so.
There is nothing strange I'm that,
was the reply. There are in this city
about 100000 people and Of these only
100000 are French. The others are
Germans. Belgians. Italians, Swiss,
Englishmen. Russians and AuStTians,
Ten years ago the foreign residents
Of Paris numbered only about half as
many IS today and their number is now
increasing by more than 10000 year.

The best proof Of this has just been
given in the Automobile Salon which
was just held in the Grand Palais OF
the Champs Elysees. The exhibition Of
motors and ears made by manufacturers
from all over the world has shown that
the past year has produced absolutely
nothing new Of the slightest conse-
quence in automobiles and yet q the
close OF the exhibition the official
figures showed that the number Of Visi-

ten days, so engrOssed public attention
that more than 10000 persons passed

bition or 1900, had been considered the
maximum Of possibility.

.PRUSSIAN RAILROADS
PAY SEVEN PER CENT

BERLIN. Jan. 20.-The government
railroads of Prussia during 1898 paid :
Per cent on the capital invested. ac-
cording to the official statement made
by the minister OF the interior in the
Irussian diet a few days ago.
The fact IS interesting also TO Ameri-
cans where government ownership Of
railroads by many is thought d form of
anarchy.
In spite Of exceedingly low passenger
and freight rates, the government roads
paid Z per cent and the Prussian gov
eminent roads have adopted every i'm
provement, every device invented TO in
sure safety, no matter how extensive.
they have paid decent wages 10 every
man working on them and paid a pen
sion to every old employe.
They have paid no interest on watered
stocks, nor enormous salaries TO presI-
dents, and they have charged no out

.ENIERTAINS ROYALTY
THRICE IN FORTNIGHT

LONDON, Jan. 2o.-Airs. Chauncey IS
the first American TO entertain royalty
three times in she course Of a fort
night. Il is true that Il was the same
royalty each tlme-Prince Arthur of
C0nnaught-but nevertheless this beats
even Mrs. Arthur Paget's record.
The young prince, who is a good look
ing. Ia. haired young fellow, finds
dane ne a little difficult owing TO a
slight stiffness in the left leg due TO an
accident n ais childhood. but he is
great hand at sitting out" with the
prettiesi girls in the room. He has
three times been described as broken
hearted over girls whom IL would be-
impossible for him 10 marry. Mrs.
Chauncey. who always invites the
latest grip on the princes list, is re-
gar6ed affectionately by Prince Arthur.
The farewell dinner given 10 him by
Mrs. Chauncev was a great success.
The house in Hartford street was filled
with huge chrysanthemums as a COM
pliment 10 the young prince, who is
to present the Emperor OF Japan with
the Order OF the Garter.
