The City or'raru Will Be In Gala Attire and a Great Deal of Money “’iil Be Spent on the Ceremonies—Ab- surd Newspaper Canard. CHERBOURG, Oct. 6.—The most elabo- rate preparations were made here to re- ceive the czar and czarina today. , The way from the landing stage to the hall of the arsenal was covered with silk hang- ings, shields, banners and flowers. The landing stage itself~ was beautifully draped, Venetian masts Were erected and floral and other decorations were displayed ev- erywhere, but when the work. was com- plete" last evening the Weather became threatening and a heavy squall swept over the city and port, felling the Venetian masts to the ground, scattering the deco- rations in all directions and inflicting great damage everywhere. This morning hundreds of men were employed in repair. ing the damage done, and every possible effort was made to have the arsenal, the landing stage and this approaches bright with fresh decorations by the time- the czar and czarina should land. The French northern squadron, consist ing of 21 vessels and including the Charles Martel, first classbattleship; the Hoche, battleship, with Vice Admiral Reguault de Premesnil on board; the Jean Bart, Descartes, Jommepes and 15 cruisers and torpedo boats, left the harbor at _8 o’clock in single file and with a gale of wind blowing. Before the warships were out- side the harbor they were almost com- pletely hidden from view by a heavy rain- storm, which did'fur'ther damage to the decorations ashore. The gale also increased in force, and a heavy sea began on the coast. There was little doubt that the imperial yacht Pole Star would receive a severe shaking upon her way here, as storm signals had been hoisted all along the coas” According to the naval programme, the French fleet was to meet the Pole Star at about midchannel. In view of the heavy weather, it was feared that this might have to be changed'to the three mi‘ie limit. The French battleship Dupuy de Lome, with President Faure on board, was to push ahead, meet the czar’s yacht, salute her, and then return to Cherbourg to await the arrival of the Russian travelers. It was further planned that as the British and French fleets approached each other the latter should fire an imperial salute and the former reply in the same manner. The czar’s- yacht was then to salute the British fleet and steam for Cherbourg in the center of the French» fleet. The Pole Star Sighted. . It was notuntil noon that the news was signaled that the Pole Star had joined the French squadron and was proceeding to this port with the French warships on each sideuof her. _ ,andthe escorting entefilng the roadstead. ‘ At the: landing stage the czar and cza- rina, according to the programme, were re- ceived by President Faure, the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies; M. Hanotaux, the minister for forign afiairs; Admiral Besnard, the minister of marine; General Billet, the minister of war, and a host of generals, admirals and other offi- cers, who will remain in attendance dur- ing the czar’s stay in France. After being formally welcomed by President Faure the royal party proceeded along the ,covered way to the hall of the arsenal amid the firing of guns and the'ringing of bells. The interior of the arsenal building was splendidly decorated and divided into a reception hall, a diplomatic hal and a banqueting room- The reception hall was hung with crimson satin and decorated with flowers and devices formed of bay- gpets, swords and other implements of war- fare. The diplomatic hall was hung with yellow ,satin and decorated with a large number of mirrors. Adjoining the diplo- matic hall were two sumptuously fur- nished retiring rooms. . The banqueting room, where the czar and czarina partook of bread and salt, in the Russian fashion, was hung with pale green satin, heavy velvet portieres and embellished with costly tapestry, military and naval weapons, models of torpedoes and torpedo destroyers, great and small guns, etc. There were three tables in this room, one raised higher than the oth- er two. At the highest table the czar and czarina and President Faure were seated in the center on three beautiful chairs of the Louis XIV period. The most distin- guished guests were also at this table. After the breakfast it was intended that the czar should review the French fleet from the deck of the Elan, the old state barge of Napoleon, regilded and refur- nished, and the travelers were. afterward to attend, a state banquet in the same ball, but a portion of the programme had to be abandoned. A line of rails was laid in the arsenal grounds from the railroad proper to the door of the diplomatic hall, and the czar and czarina embarked on board the im- perial train at the hall and proceeded to Paris, where they are expected to arrive at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning at the La Muette station on the Auteuil-Ceinture line. From there theyare to make their state entry into Paris by way of the Ave- nue du Bois de Boulogne, the Place de l’Etoile, the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, the Place and Pout de la Concorde, the Boulevard St. Germain, and thence by the Rue St. Simon to the Russian embassy, where they will be housed during their stay in Paris. ' The Official Programme. . The czar and czarina have planned to .remain five days in France and will visit Versailles and the camp at Challou, where there will be an imposing review of troops, numbering about 70,000 men. The offi- cial programme for the czar’s visit says that after arriving in Paris he will break- fast at the Russian embassy and visit the Russian church. In the afternoon, with the czarina, he will attend an official re- ception at the Elysee palace. Later they will grant audiences at the Russian em. bassy, and in the evening they will attend a dinner at the Elysee. for which 200 in- vitations have been issued by President Faurc to the presidents of the two cham- bers, the members of the diplomatic corps, the ministers. the commanders of the army corps and to the representatives of the great bodies of the state. After this dinner there will be a'reception, for which 200 additional invitatidns have been is- sued. ' I After this reception the imperial party will attend 'a gala performance at the opera, the city will be brilliantly illumi- nated, and there will be a Venetian fetp on the river Seine. The next day the set we . r t1:45 g m. the yasht. czar and czarina will visit the principal places of interest in Paris, and at 2:30 p. m. the same day they will lay the first stone of the bridge, to be called the Pont Alexander III, which will serve for the exhibition of 1900. The. occasion will be marked by a grand assembling of dele- gates from all the municipal and com- mercial bodies throughout France. Later the czar and czarina will pay a visit to the mint, where a medal commemorative of their visit will be struck. They will also, on the same afternoon, \visit the Academic Francaise and the Hotel de Villa, and in the evening will give a dinner at the Rus- sian embassy. At 9:30 p. in. they will attend a performance at the Theatre Fran- caise. \ The next Tuesday morning they will visit the Louvre and will breakfast at the Russian embassy. They will then leave for Versailles, will visit the Sevres porce- lain factory, will dine at the palace of Versailles and will attend a grand fete in the gardens of that palace. In the even- ing they will leave by train for Chalcns, where they will witness the grand re- view of the troops. Later in the day they will leave for Darmstadt- to visit the fam- ily of the czarina. All these arrangements, however, are subject to the approval of the czar. Minor Details. During their stay in Paris they will use specially made carriages, including a ber- lin and three daumonts, while five ca- leches have been built for the use of the imperial suit. The coachmen will Wear long blue coats with gold buttons, red waistcoats, powdered wigs and high hate. The berlin is a magnificent afl‘air, dark blue in color, lightened with redwscroll- work and brass mountings, and has large silver lamps at each corner. Three gor- geously attired footmen will occupy the back of this carriage. President Faure has had an especially gorgeous daumcnt built for his use, and the 60 horses which will be used by the czar and czarina. and the pres- ident have been specially trained and ex- ercised in the streets through which they are to pass. Thirty coachmen have been engaged to drive these horses. Large prices have been paid for windows and balconies from which to witness the state entry of the czar and czarina into Paris. The entire route will be lined with troops. More than a quarter of a cen- tury has elapsed since any sovereign, ex- cepting the late shah of Persia, has en- tered Paris in an oflicial capacity. Nearly 30 years ago Alexander II, grandfather of the present czar, and the then king of Prussia attended the exhibition of 1867. Extraordinary precautions have been taken to guard the czar during his stay in France. He will be constantly surrounded by Russian and French detectives. For- eigners arriving at any of the places to be visited by the czar have for some time past been required to establish their identity, and many suspects pointed out by the Russian police have been secretly expelled from France, and special detachments of police have been stationed. at all ports where nihilists and others were likely to land. In addition, the commission of public safety of Paris has organized a spe- cial service to supervise all the districts which the imperial guests will pass through, and their train will be under the charge of a score of the best detectives in France. - Before the French authorities were aware that'the czar preferred"'to travel in his own special train they had given or- ders for a magnificent train to be placed at his disposal. It is composed of two baggage vans' and seaven long carriages, four of which were sleeping cars and the other three saloon cars. It is planned that the czar will leave his own train, which is very heavy, weighing 430 tons, at Ver- sailles and enter’ the train specially built for him, as it is considered dangerous to draw the former over the light rails of the circular railroad. The train prepared for him Weighs but 250 tons. An Absurd Rumor. LONDON, Oct. 6.—A news agency says that a large block of wood was found ly- ing across the rails at Garstang, 11 miles south of Lancaster, an hour before the czar’s train passed that place yesterday morning. The matter was investigated, and it was ascertained that the piece of wood had evidently got where it was found accidentally. Besides it was not large enough to have derailed a street car. Mlllville's Glass Troubles. MILLVILLE, N. J., Oct. 6.—The action of the glass manufacturing firm of Whit- all. Tatum & Co., in offering to start their flint furnaces at a wage reduction of 20 per cent off the list rate, has created ex-, citement in this locality such as has sel- dom been seen before. The threat of hir- ing nonunion men if the old employees do not agree to the reduction has added fuel to the "flames. This has. always been a union town, and the workmen employed in the great glass manfacturing plants do not know what to make of the present situation. The men will give their answer tomorrow. ' To Choose Bishop Coxe‘s Successor. BUFFALO, Oct. 6.—The special council of the diocese of western New York will convene in Trinity chapel tomorrow in this. city for the purpose of choosinga suc- cessor to the late Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe. The council which makes this se- lection is held in response to a call sent out by the standing committee of the dio« case. The council will consist of the clergy of the diocese and three lay mem- . bars from each parish. Nihilist Meetings In London. LONDON, Oct. 6.-—The Daily Mail as- serts that the nihilists have held several excited meetings in‘ London recently. “Some of the nihilists,” says this paper, “were in favor of. an attempt upon the czar’s life, but a majority in favor of in- < action carried tli’e day, on the ground that England was the only country where an asylum was left for the extremists.” The Fate of Tynan. LONDON, Oct. 6.—A dispatch to The Standard from Paris says: ”The decision respecting P. P. .T. Tynan will be submit- ted to the cabinet council, which will not meet before Oct. 14. In the event of ex- tradition to England being refused, Tynan will be put aboard a steamer for the Unit- ed States under a decreeaof expulsion.” DorgGallery Leaves Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—-The collection of Dore paintings and drawings, after nine months" exhibit, has closed, and today the work of packing and shipping the huge canvases began. The collection goes to Bos- ton, where it will be hung in Copley hall for an indefinite engagement. - . A Catcher Catches a Bride.

' FHE*EVEN1NGHGAZETTE MANUFACTURING HAIRPINS. How One of the Essentials of a Woman's Toilet isMade. , For ages the English and French controlled the manufacture of hair pins, and 'it is only within the last tWenty years that the goods have been produced in other countries to any extent. The machinery used is of a delicate and intricate character, as the prices at which the pins are sold necessitate the cheapest and most rapid process, which can only be se- cured by automatic machines, says Pearson’s Weekly. - The wire is made expressly for the purpose, and put up in large coils, which are placed in a clamp, and so carried to the machine while being straightened. This - machine cuts, bends, and by a delicate instantaneous process sharpens the points. Running at full speed, it will turn out 120 hair- pins every minute. To economize, it is necessary to keep the engines going day and night. ' The diflicult part of the work is in the enameling, which is done by dipping the sharp pins in a prepara- tion and baking in an oven. It is here that the most constant and care- ful attention is required, as the pins must be absolutely Smooth and the enamel have a. perfect polish. The slightest particle of dust causes im- perfections and roughness. No'ITé'e of Dodging. A correspondent of the W'ashingsim Post says: I wish the people who write: those marvelous directions about what to do in emergencies would print at tue top of the column in the very large:;‘ type, “Don’t try to dodge a bicycle.” ] am sure it would materially decrease. the number of bicycle accidents. A marked copy ought to go to a woman 1 saw in K streetthe other day. ‘ She was the sort of woman who was a giddy girl in the beginning. She isn’t a girl now, but she is girlier than ever. She was crossing the street, when of a sudden she saw a bicycle bearing down on her. She gave a scream and stepped back— another scream and sprang forward. Then, with a series of screams, she wobbled back and forth, the man on the wheel all the while trying to avoid her. It seemed an hour at least that they were at it, and just when her uttef destruction seemed unavoidable the man sacrificed himself and fell against the curbstone. He didn’t say anything. There are some silences that are more expressive than any mere burst of profanity. ' A Strong Defence.

He Proved Himself a Sprinter, but it Was ”I“ Under Peculiar Circumstances. . A good story is told on til-evenerable Bishop Whipple. The scene is laid in St. Paul, and the story: was as fol- lows: ' One evening in the fall; and after dark, as the .- Bish-ap was walking along the street, he noticed a little fine residence. He was: too short .to do any more than reach it, and, al— though he stood on his tiptoes and stretched vigorously, no- sound came from the bell. The kind hearted pre— late felt called upon to assist him, and so, ascending the steps, asked: . "Shall I help you, my little man?” The boy intimated that such a course would be gratifying to him, and rthe Bishop rang the bell. Thereupon' the little fellow remarked: “Now, we’d better both run like h, l!” and decamped, as rapidly as possible. - ' " ‘ It took the Bishop just a moment to remember that it was Hallow’eengand .it is said that he made tracks and got around the corner about as rapidly as the little boy.‘—-.Wabash Herald. .A Monkey's Imitativeness. A'Chicago paper details the. pranks of a windowful of monkeys which a dealer in animals keeps to amuse the public, and attract attention to this business. There is almost always a crowd watching them. One day lately a man came to waSh outside of the window in which these animals spend their days. He had a long pole with a. sponge at its end and a pail of water. 'As he washed, the monkeys watched him with great curiosity; and presently one of them, who looked like a little weazened old man, sleized a small block of wood which lay in the bottom of the cage; dipped it carefully into the din- ner-pan, and began rubbing the bars of the cage vigorously. He stopped; watched the move- ments of the man, resumed his rub- bing, and imitated the man as closely as he could. This he continued until after the window~washer had finished his work. The crowd which observed this pro- ceeding was naturally much inter- ested, and the old-faced monkey has since been known as “window-washing Mike.” Embarrassment Followed The art and fine spirit of James Russell Lowell are still quite fre- quently spoken of in the literary cir- cles of London, and anecdotes of 'him are told. with keen enjoyment. On one occasion at a large banquet the peculiarities of American speech were discussed with English bluntness. Lord-S. called to Mr. Lowell loudly, so as to silence all other speakers: “There is one new expression in- vented by your countrymen so fool- ish and .vulgar as to be unpardonable. They talk of the ‘ashes of the dead.’ We don’t burn corpses. No English- man would use a phrase so absurd." “And yet,” said Mr. Lowell, gently, “your poet Grey says, speaking of the dead: “ ‘E’en in our ashes live their wont- ed fires.’ “And in the burial service of the Church of England it is said, ‘Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes.’ We sin in good company.” A cordial burst of applause greeted this prompt rejoin- der. ' ' “Paw,” asked Tommy, “what is a bicycle meet?” “Most any old pedestrian is likely to be a bicycle meat if he can’t look two ways at once.” said Mr. Figg.- Elianapolis Journal. —‘—‘_V,~ ., ‘J 1. ,,,,, ‘1".
