Paris. March 30.--'For once, we have an American Ambassador whom 1t is a pleasure to meet, and who is able to represent his great country worthily." said the other day the editor of Le Figaro Of MT White, and the next day there was an editorial in the fa- nous Parisian paper which said:
 Tt is well-known that Mir. White is diplomat of the first rank, a man of highly cultivated and very fne per- captions and an accomplished gentle man. He is esteemed alike by the American colony and Parisian society.
 The way in which he spent the last
 day before he left Rome to come to
 this city Is characteristic of the man
 and also shows how popular he was
 in that city. He invited for luncheon four journalists from Italian newspa- pers whom he became acquainted with ct Algeciras, where he was the first United States delegate. In the evening he was the guest of the King, who gave a grand dinner in his honor. In
 the afternoon he had been to the vati- can.
 This diplomat" says an Italian news paper, pays visit to the Pope. be- cause American frankness and sim plicity cannot fathom all the subtle differences which are practiced by the other nations that are less free and less sincere, and that make an Ambas- sador accredited to the Italian court pretend to ignore the existence at Rome

Cabmen Seize Novel Idea.

The young cabmen of Paris have hit upon a novel idea of attracting to themselves some of the fares which since the advent of the "femmes cocheres" have gone over to the side
 They have shaved off their mous- taches. changed their tall glazed hats cabwomen wear, and have adopted the half cloak, half mantle which has be- come the uniform of their female com petitors, With a rug around their knees they can easily be mistaken at a distance for women drivers.
 Several old gentlemen have fallen into the trap, who, although very angry at the deception practiced on them. had to take the cab, as they had already hailed it before being aware of their mistake. This prank is causing great amusement among the Parisian pub lie, who still continue to regard the lady cabbies as freaks
 Madam Duffanr, the first lady to hold the reins of a Paris cab, is feeling so elated at her success that she has ap- piled for a divorce from her husband
 She was driving down one of the grand bouleVards recently when she met her husband. who. thinking to help her, gave her some advice as to her driving This madame refused to accept, saying that she knew as much about driving as did her spouse though he is a cabman of many years experi- couple at last were taken before a po- lice magistrate, before whom they con tinued quarreling. until he. in dis gust, advised them to separate, an ad- vice which madame has not been slow to follow.

WEATHER CONDITIONS AND GENERAL
 E0RRflART

Cooler weather prevails in the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio valleys. the lake rec zion and the gulf states. In the remaind- CT of the country temperature changes have been slight. An atmospheric depression in southern Texas is producing rain on the west gulf coast and in the lower Mississippi valley; in eastern Texas the fall amounted to 1. % to 1 80 inches at I am. This de- pression should give showers in Alabama tonight and partly cloudy weather on Sun day.
 A high pressure ares covers the Dakotas ana is causing cold weather fin that section of the country. The lowest temperature reading reported this morning was degrees at Bismarck N. D. The influence of this high pressure area in connection with the cooling effect of the anticipated showers, should give colder weather in Alabama to- night.
