PARIS, March 6.-American mil
lionaries are robbing Paris OF it's chief
slory-its good old wines, Our Bur
gundies and Bordeaux are all going
over to stock the cellars OF Ftfth-ave.
or Newport This week J. Pierpont
Morgan alone purchased eight thou
sand francs worth OF historic bottled
wines. Today it is absolutely true tina:
there is hardly a restaurant In Paris
where YOU can order a wine older than
1873. This Is partly due to the philox
era and bad seasons, but IL more espe-
cially due to Yankee greed.
M. Buriel, that great man or the
Cafe Anglais, said sadly: Wine low

for a noble, generous wine
The Famous Red Wines.
OF course he refers to the famous
French red wines. Marguery. the wise,

Why ParIsians Sell.
The Marquis de Casscllane, who Is
charming, ANTIQUE gentleman, ex'
rlained why Parisians were selling
their wine. He said ii was impossible
TO keep wine in Parir. since the mn.
derground railway was shaking the
subsoil and making the deepest wine
cellars tremble like jelly, thereby de
stroying the centennie! wine bottles
Also he thought that people are
spending so much money on auton,o
biles and gowns for their wives, or un
wives. that they have 10 money &c
spend on rare wines. The last and
most cynical word came from he

this remark and said:

inaries. the kaiser begins TO talk
shop" that is, the political news OF
the day.
Before going to the ehsneerioF's pal
ace the kaiser has read all the import
ant newspapers. In his head he has
the gist OF the dispatches received by
the early mails. while his coat pocket
usually contains a number OF clippings
relating 10 current events.
5ueIow 10 Prepared.
OF course Prince Buelow is as we'll
prepared as william himself, for he Is
as early a riser as his imperial mas
ter. After the kaiser has delivered
himself Of all he has to say. and there
is a good deal OF is usually. he abrupt
ly puts some such question as, And
what were you about 10 say to ME

The chancellor then produces a pad
OF yellow paper, half dozen or more
pages OF which are inscribed TO the
extent OF a few lines, leaving blank
space below. These constitute ques.
tons OF the day, awaiting the impe
rial decision
The chancellor is a most insfnuating
talker, grasping his subject boldly and
capable of stating its salient features
in few words, pregnant with mean
ing. The kaiser listens attentively,
asks a few sharp questions and usual
" decides on the spot
To facilitate the business of his con-
ference with the chancellor the kaiser
dispenses, for the time being, with the
rule that he, and ne alone, can give
the cue to every theme OF converse
ton. Aside from the chancellor at
these conferences. and at these only.
no German is permitted to suggest
any subject whatever In the kaise-'s
presence. II William is not doing all
the talking all the time he reserves
the right to dominate the conversation
al all time.
When the kaiser is obsent from Ber-
lin he communicates with Prince Bue-
low by telephone II possible, by cipher
dispatches IL telepnoning is out of
the question. When commencing a
telephone communication the kaiser
says. "ich befehle,r |. e., II command"
which is equivalent TO a notice that
the telephone is In imperial hands and
that II Is closed to all other business.
This Is the most rigidly observed rule
in the German telephone service.

DUKES PICTURE SALE
-ONLYAH HOUSE CLEANING

LONDON, March 6.--There has
been a great deal OF gossip about the
Duke Of Sutherland OF late. and in
the clubs 1t has been openly stated
that the dukes recent sale OF family
pictures at Christies was due TO a
very perilous financial state Of at
fairs.
The real truth of the matter is that
the pictures which were sold at Chris
ties were simply an overflow from
his various mansions, and only one
OF them, Van Dyck, was of any great
value. The pictures only brought $40,
900. and OF this sum the Van Dyke
brought $1,000.
The duke, who Is a most enthusias
tic tariff reformer, will hand over the
$4,000 TO the Tariff Reform league
which will put an end TO gossip about
his supposed financial troubles.
