an Aladdin's lamp, or something of that

CALLING IN PARIS.
The Concierge 10 a Peculiar lnstitu-
ton In Several Ways.

ton In Several Ways.
You leave your card at the door or
the person to whom you desire TO pre-
sent yourself. and there it is taken in
charge by that peculiarly French func-
tionary, the concierge, says Professor
Barrett Wendell i'll ScribnerS. At
least in Paris, the greater part Of
French people live in large houses con-
tanning number of apartments with
common entrance and staircase.
Close to the entrance door, on the level
of the street, are some Stuify little
rooms inhabited by the concierge, or
porter. with his family. Their duty,
among other things. is to keep strict
watch on whoever goes in or out, and
at least one of them. often the porter $
wife or half grown daughter, is always
| at hand.
The chief popularity of their temper
ament seems to be Unsuitable appetite.
At whatever hour of day or evening;
you call on a concierge you are sure TO
| find somebody eating or just risen
| from table. and the atmosphere inhab'
tied by this busting parsonage seems
| Immortality laden with the fumes of
/ something recently boiled.
No matter whether you call on q
friend who lives in some unpretentious
! out of the way place or on one who
| inhabitS something like a palace, the
concierge is always about the same

VIII Case In Illinois Circuit
Court.

CLINTON ILL.,. July 2B.-"Tainted blood"
which Pension Commissioner Warner
charged courses in the veins of his step
mother, Mrs Isabella Robinson Warmer,
was made the subject Of final argument In
the noted Warner will case before Circuit
Judge Cochran today. The whte-haired
widow who is making a fight to get a
dover share of the wealth Of John Warner,
aggregating $1,000 was in court with her
two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Harrison Met
tier Of Chicago and Mrs. Arabela Warner
Bell OF Clinton. She listened attentively
TO Attorney Fuller who made the argu-
ment in behalf of Commissioner Warner,
who is seeking to prevent his stepmother
from breaking his fathers will,
Attorney Fuller painted Mrs Warner as a
cunning siren, the daughter Of poor parents,
who had drawn into her meshes John War
ner, the banker. All the evidence, Attor-
ney Fuller insisted. showed that Isabella
Robinson had planned a hasty marriage and
that she did not allow her husband to see
her family for more than an hour Oh the
day of her marriage May q, 1874.
Now and then, when the lawyer made
reference to her cleverness in trapping
the aged banker into a recond marriage
or to the poverty OF her fathr, Stephen
Robinson or Curly Robinson, as he was
known in his home near Steuben, o., she
would smile disdalnfully. Her daughters
also appeared to be amused at the charges
Mrs. Warner emphatically says her father
was white. She signed. she says. a pre-
nuptal agreement waving her dover only
after the aged banker had deceived her
about the value of his estate.
