Itow the Plain Dress of Oar Minister There Distinguishes Him. A modern ball nt tho palacQof tho Elysco, In Paris, -where tho president of franco lives, is an extraordinarily bril liant and picturesquo sight, for, beside? tho military trappings and gold braid of tho army officers and tho exquisite, del icately Mntodl toilets and elaborato coif fures of tho Prcnohwomen, there are tie varied "habits" of tho many members of tho diplomatio corps. These uniforms alono ar6 sufficient to furnish a brilliant mass of color and, olaborato display. Described In detail and according to their nations, they aro these: France. A. coat of dark blue, em broidered with gold ornaments and leaves, Russia. A jjrecn tunic, embroidered in silver and Hgurea In lilaa Germany. A dark blue coat, em-broidoroin-Kold and faced with gold omainenfa.- Austria. A coat of green cloth, em broidered with a gold acanthus palm. England. A coat of dark blue, also embroidered with an acanthus palm of gold. Italy. A coat of royal blue, embroid ered with golden leaves. Spain. A coat of blue, embellished with gold leaves and ornaments. Portugal. A coat of blue with golden leaves. i It should beVemembered that the rank of a diplomat a shown by tho embroid eries that adorn his uniform. Hie high er standing tie has the greater the amount of gold that is upon his person. Embassadors and ministers plenipoten tiary have their collars and cuffs, their breasts and the facings of their pockets set off with golden thread. The secre taries of embassies and tho various con sul generals havo just a shade less of adornment on their uniforms. From an overplusago of gold lace the other extreme is reached In the conven tional evening clothes of tho American embassador, who appears a solemn and marked figure in the gay assemblages in his relief of somber black and white. The French presidents usually wear or dinary evening clothes, ent in the con ventional style, but their white shirt fronts aro broken gorgeously by the broad red band of tho Legion of Honor and tho great star of that order. New York World. ' Does tbs Ere See? Tho question asked in the .headline may sound odd to you if you havo never taken the trcmblo to give tho subject serious thought, but I venture the broad statement that you are not able to an swer tho question "offhand." It is an admitted fact, I must confess, that the cyo Is tho "organ of vision," yet there is but littlo doubt, even in the minds of opticians and physiologists, that the phenomena of "seeing" is chiefly men tal in other words, that it Is tho mind and not the eye that "sees." How often have you soon nfrJendwho seemingly was feEsr3zed. in lookins inteatlv at some ooiect; osrjtse tsDie,tt9 ojfpopu-e iido of "tab" room or of some picture, who" on being arouseu from ins day areata would confess that he was "looking ok nothing in particular." The explana tion of the fact that ho saw "nothing in particular" is plain enough if properly set forth. It is because his mind was busy with other times and Fcenes. Faces, bits of 'waysido scenery, etc., were being presented to view in the panorama of tho mind, and the "mind e eye" or mental vision was engaged in eagerly scanning pictures of impres sions made thereon months, years or scores of years before. Another test of this mind vision theory is to shut your eyes tightly and then ply the brain to the task of recalling faces and forms that havo pot been seen by the eye for years. And, again, if you want to know Whether your companion looked at his watch with his brain or his eyes, aek him the time of day after ho puts the timepiece in his pocket. St. Louis Es prit) lie. Bis Thirst Was Very Freelons. Some years ago while traveling from Kansas City to St Louis the seat in front of me was occupied by a typical cattleman and a man who looked like an eastern clergyman. The western man, a whole souled, genial fellow, after tell ing his companion all about his western ranch and about the business which call ed htm to Chicago, reached down in his grip and drew forth a bottle of generous proportions. "Pardner," said he, "there's the best liquor west of Kansas City. Throw a hooker into you and give mo your opin ion." Tho clerical looking man, hough ter ribly shocked, managfed to 6ay, "Friend, I have noi drunk for 46 years. " The Texan jumped from his seat and exclaimed : "Great guns I I would give $1,000 for your thirst "Chicago Times-Herald. Beady For the Cholera. Some years ago there was an outbreak of cholera in France, and instructions wcro forwarded to tho mayor of a cer tain Tillaco to take all necessary precau tions, as tho epidemic was rapidly spread ing.

TELEGRAPH NEWS Cuban Affairs. Havana, Jnno 17. The whole prov ince of Matanzas, which adjoins the province of Havana, is on the verge of rising in arms against the govern ment. The first uprising took place there; bnt tho insurgents' plans in that section were frnstratcd. The sympathizers with the revolution have been carefully laying plans and waiting for a favorable opportunity to strike. The autonomist political party of Matanzas has been dissolved to ex press the change of opinion and ap proval of 'the revolution. The antonomist party in Havana is likely to follow suit. The .'principal officers nnd most influential members cannot agree. Tho majority ac knowledge the increasing importance of the revolntion, and the nnmber who favors free Cnbn, constantly grows. From the interior of the island comes reports showing that members of the antonomist party are abandon ing it one by one. The newspaper, EI Pais, the organ of the antonomist party, and abont the only paper read by the Cnbans, has published of late snch strontr articles against the revolntion and in favor of Spanish soyereignitv, that more than 1500 persons havo stopped taking it. The subscription list con tinues to shrink every day. The regulation rifle '(Manser) used by the government, is to complicated for the Spanish Soldiers, and mis haps are constant. They are being replaced by Homington rifles. The business men were called to meet at the produce exchance to raise money to carry on tne war. Few representatives of the larger houses were present. The subscrip tions amounted to $100,000. The Santiago mineowners have notified the government that they will have to suspend work if not al lowed troops enough to protect them, for they are often raided by the reb els, who take all their provisions. The government has given an eva sive answer. The closing of the mines wonid send many men into the insurgent ranks. Jew lork, Juno 17. A Bpecial to the Herald from Philadelphia, says There is suspicion in shipping cir cles that the excursion steamer Bridgeton, which left this port sev erul weeks ago, ostensibly to engage in passenger irade in South America, has, like tho tugboat George W. Ghilds, entered the service of the Cuban revolutionists. The Sndge ton passed to sea on Thursday, May 23, at 930 p. m. The George W. Childs preceded her less than 24 hours. Tho Bridgeton was last heard from June 7, when she sailed from St. Augustine, having touched at Beau fort, X. C, on her voyage. Key West, Jnne 17. Two Spanish spies. Claro Diaz from Baracoa and Hamon Postal Martiuez of Manzan- ulo, ore reported to have been sent to the rebel headquarters by General Campos to assassinate General An tonio Maceo. A price has also been set on General Jose Maeeo's head. The men sent to accomplish this work, it is asserted, will pre end to oe deserters ironi tne opanisn army. the Maceos have both been warned, nowever, and will probably be upon their guard. New York, Jnuo 17.

A special to the World from Caracas says: Eyeryone is anxious to know what policy Secretary Olney will adopt con cerning this country aud its quarrel with England. It was well understood that the late Secretary Gresbam had promised to intercede in behalf of Venezuela, ask ing England to submit to arbitration, as Lord Granville had promised Guzman Blanco in 1883 would be done, a promise which Salisbury afterwards refused to recognize. A semi-official telegram from Washington says Mr. Olney will follow Secretary Gresham's policy and will fur nish a new interpretation of the Monroe doctrine, which the latter had under taken, enlarging its scope. Government officials say the govern ment has been assured it will not have to cede the territory between Essejnlbo and Pumpabrima. on the Orinoco delta. including the immensely rich mining region lying back of it. The presence of an American com mission in Nicaraugua, examining the cabal, is pointed to as an indication that the United States hereafter will take a more determined stand in favor of American republics as against Europe. The government announces that there is every prospect of an early settlement of the difficulties with France, but letters from a reliable source in Paris, indicate just the opposite, hinting broadly that France and England may make a com mon cause against us. The police efforts to discover the authors aud circulators of a revolutionary proclamation which has been freely circulated, directed against President Crespo, were unavail ing, though nineteen arrests were made on suspicion. The government is denying that there is anything in the shape of a n volution, imminent though scarcely a day passes without a report of new rebel attacks on government troops. Cleveland Arrivals. Cleveland, June 16. Delegates to the convention of the National Republican League are beginning to arrive, and by tomorrow it is expected there will be an influx of slrangers.

Davis,-and while he was not a leader in uo.-ma;faiuiauiit repuoucaus uopea matters would shape themselves before next year as to make his nomination prospective. In regard to the question whom he considered the strongest candi date in the race at present, Mr. Evans said: "McKinley is by all odds the strongest candidate."

The In telligencer will in the morning print ths following, written by its. editor, C. B. Hart: "While Senator Elkins was in Morgan- town I asked him what he had to say about the sundry reports concerning his desire for the presidential nomination next year. I found that he bad been much annoyed by the persistent effort to make it appear that he is engaging in a Harrison boom. He said. " 'It is positively untrue that 1 have declared for General Harrison, or that I am trying to bring about his nomination. I do not know that he is the man above all others to nominate. This conven tion is a year off, and many things may happen within a year. All this talk about the different men is premature. When the time comes the republican party will find the man and nominate him. You may without reserve say that I am not committed to anybody in this matter.' " There Were Two. Ukiaii, Cal., June 17. Sheriff John son and Policeman Burke returned late last night from an unsuccessful pursuit of the highwaymen who held up the Mendocina stage yesterday. They caught one outlaw by the aid ot a bloodhound. The animal succeeded in retrieving a pair of overalls, which had been worn by one of the robbeis and which had been hidden in a hollow tree. The treasure-box was also found. It had been broken into, the contents scattered, and the valuable packages taken. The amount of money secured will approxi mate $1500. According to the story of a young lady passenger, there were two robbers. One occupied the road and one remained concealed in the under growth near the roadside. When the driver was called to halt, tho lady was looking out of the stage. The con cealed robber leveled his gun on the driver, and, had not he immediately stopped, bloodshed would doubtless have resulted. Johnson and Burke are now on the trail of the robbers, and, as the country is comparatively open and trav eling good, a quick capture is expected. Other Political News. Loli.sville, June 17.
