The Pari. Alibi omce.

In Paris there is an institution which calls itself an ''alibi office." 1t under takes to prove that when one is really hiding in Paris he is at Biarritz or some place equally remote. The patron of the "alibi ofice'' writes letters osten- sibly from any address and the "alibi office" has them actually posted there, so that when they arrive in Paris they bear the right postmarks. This agency, moreover, offers it's subscribers the ad- vantage of an address in 'the most aristocratic quarter of Paris'' to which their correspondence can be sent, which will be opened by the management when the subscription is not forthcom- ing.

MORE TARIFF
 BILL CHANGES

Washington, June PA number of changes in the tariff bill, suggested by Chairman Aldrich were approved by the Senate today. Saltpeter, which had been on the free list in the Senate bill. was returned to the dutiable list with the rates of half a cent a pound. This is the same as the Dingley law and the Payne bill. Specific duties in Keane's cement were adopted as fol- lows:
 On the cement worth $1o or less a ton s3; valued at s10 to S15, s5; val ued at SIS to $50, S10 and valued above s3O s14 Aldrich said these rates were equivalent to the present ad valorem rate of 35 per cent. The duty on enamelled and glass table, kitchen and other hollow ware was fixed at 45 per cent and advanced five per cent over the Dinglay law and the Payne bill.
 Aldrich suggested that the unmanu- factured asbestos be retained on the free list, but Heyburn called attention to the fact that the production of as bestos was rapidly growing in this country. He asked the committee to investigate to determine whether the American producers should have pro- tection. The paragraph was agreed to, with the condition that the commit tee will investigate.
 At the request of Burton CRepubli- can, Oho) Aldrich withdrew his mo- ton for the adoption of the paragraph that deals with clays and earth. Bur ton said he desired to look further in to the matter.

G1.d.tone ana Latt1e, Dorothy.

Good housewives often have trouble with servants who cannot get up, but doubt if it ever occurs to them, as it did to Miss Dorothy Drew when she was not more than seven, that the Scriptures emphasize the vanity of early rising, says the London Tatler. Dorothy positively refused to get up, and her grandfather, MT. Gladstone, had to be called to overawe the rebel.
 "Why don't you get up. Dorothy ?" he asked. s--t-
 Because the Bible doesn't approve of early rising, grandfather" was the un- expected reply.
 Really, Dorothy" said the aston, ished statesman, you must be mis- taken"
 "Oh, no, I'm not" she persisted. "Here it .is.'' And she tuVned up the second verse of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Psalm, vt is vain for you to rise up early" The old par liamentarian had cothing more to say. The argument hoGfed him.

Six Great Men.

From 173O to 1880 is the most memo rable period in modern history. Six great men made their marks-Napo- leon, whose chief feature was ambi- ton; Nelson, courage; Washington, 1n- dependence; Wellington, thoroughness; Pitt, statesmanship, and George Ste phenson, ingenuity. Washington and Nelson have secured the affection Of posterity, Washington and Stephenson have done the most for mankind, We'll ington enjoys the respect of all, Pitt has our admiration. and Napoleon will forever excite the wonder of the world. Napoleon endeavored to remodel Flu rope; George Stephenson succeeded in doing so Washington and Stephenson together had independence, observation and ingenuity-the three qualities which are of the most service to hu- manity.-London Truth.

[ PatchOuIy.

The introduction of the perfume call ed patchouly was caused by the desire of French shawlmakers to deceive their customers. When shawls were first brought from India they were per fumed with patchouly, an extract of an Indian plant. The French soon learned to initiate the shawls to perfection, but the patchouly bothered them, as they could find no substitute for 1t, and this fact was used as the surest means of distinguishing the genuine India shawls from the French commercials. At last somebody discovered the secret and brought a quantity of patchouly to France. For time the discoverers kept the matter to themselves and reaped harvest. Then some one gave away the secret. The perfume soon became popular and has never since passed completely out of use, though several times superseded temporarily by other nerfumeS

 Naivasha. British East Africa, June 22.-So far, the Roosevelt hunting par ty. that is now operating in Sotik, has had but slight repetition of its success at High Plains and the Mau Hills. ac- cording to information that was brought in to-day by a runner from the Roosevelt camp. No elephants have yet been killed and to-day's messenger declared that Colonel Roosevelt was rapidly becoming impatient at his fail ure to get a shot at an elephant. The ex-President has bagged lion but the req, honors of the Sotik hunt have gore to Kermit who killed the largest and finest specimen of lion that has was much larger than the black-man- ed fellow that MT. Roosevelt shot while on the McMillan ranch.
 , Game is plentiful in the Sotik coun- try and besides the, two lions the Colonel and Kermit have brought down three giraffes. two cheetahs. and six topi.
 All the members of the party are standing the oppressive climate in good shape and the Colonel is now so thoroughly accustomed to the climate that he is able to follow the pace of the natives without fatigue
 The runner who arrived to-day was four days on the way. He says the Sotik entailed noshardships. not even in crossing the intervening desert which required two days. After quit tinc the desert the game region was encountered and Colonel Roosevelt did not even wait for the party to pitch it's tents before beginning his hunt. In addition to the animals mentioned a large number of smaller animals have been killed. The Daturalists are saving all the skins
