By Stephen Austin.
Paris, March 30.—This City by the Seine
is the main rendezvous of exiles; It has
been so from the day when the great
Dante, driven out of Florence, fled here to
nurse his tragic hate. Every European
who has got in trouble with the Power*
Mat Bo in his own kind naturally gravi
tates hitherward, to the big. gay city all
panting with intellectual life, where he is
sure to meet mauji of his own similarly
situated countrymen to conspire with, and
whence he can at a moment's notice take
train or boat back to his country when
things are ripe for a fresh revolutionary
effort. Evary really up to date guide book
to this city should have a chapter de
voted to the ''Plotting-Places of Paris.''
These are mostly cafes, where sit the
exiles of many lands, weaving over beer
stained tables deadly combinations against
the tyrants at home.
The waiters at the Cafe Soufflot in the
1-atin quarter points out to you, If he feels
Communicative, n dark iazy-iooking young
man who smokes innumerable cigarettes
and chats in a bored way with other dark,
lazy-looking young men. To the waller
he is a personage.
"That," say* the functionary proudly,
"is Monsieur Sidi-Ben-Hassan Bey. He
is the chief of the Syrian branch of the
young Turks. Those are his lieutenant*
and his two secretaries there with him.
They come here every night to conspire.
That Cafe Soufflot is a noted rendez
vous of Orientals. One sees there as many
wearers of the fez as ordinary silk-hat
ted citizens; and it is rare not to And a
certain proportion of the clients arrayed
in gorgeous robes from different par s
of the of the Rising Sun. The
newspapers kept for the customers are
printed in some five or six of the lan
guages. whose characters look to the un
instructed eye like the trail of a light
footed spider. It is Just because this Is
a notad habitat of Orientals that It is
used as the hatching ground of political
cabala. Why? Sidi-Ben-Hassan Bey shall
give you the reason.
. “We come here because we are prac
tically lost among a mightly crowd of
some 290 persons. Of course, we, the
chiefs, are known to the Sultan’s spies,
who abound in Paris. But we often have
business Instructions to communicate
and reports to receive with members of
r.ur party, who ere not yet known. They
pass In here unobserved among so many
Eastern people, and we seize a favora
ble moment for handing them or receiv
ing from them any document necessary
to our affairs. It is done In a second,
ami no one observe*. If we, who are so
well known and watched, met them on
the streets or boulevards or in an ordi
nary cafe, they would at once he entered
on the had books of the Ytldlz Kiosk.
That would increase our difficulties ten
fold; for no one who has been seen talk
ing to any of us leaders would be allow
ed to enter any Turkish port, or In an'.'
way to cross the Turkish frontier. His
full description and a fanciful history if
his doings would reach the authorities
ahead of hijn, and he would be at once
stripped of his papers and thrown lnte
prison for an Indefinite time.”
The different countries which furnish
recruits to the strong snd extensive
• Toun* Turkish” revolutionaries make
their headquarters in several cafes at va
lious ends of the city. The quiet and re
spectable Cafe Cardinal on the Boulevard
dis Italians Is a meeting place for the
two or three supreme heads of the or
sanitation, the men who know the rami
fications of the whole movement, but who
do little or no active work, guiding; the
whole from a distance, and leaving pro
paganda and the daily grind of clerical
business to younger men. When one be
gins to understand how enormous in Pa
ris alone is the organization of Intrigue
against the present regime in Turkey, one
is astonished that the fttbrtc remains in
tact. It would almost seem as if tyran
ny and had government grows fat and
strong the more it is conspired against.
There seems to be some Jealousy, or,
at any rale, a distinct lack of sympathy
between the “Young Turks” and the
Revolutionary Armenians. Some of the
leaders of the one are leaders of the
other; but the rank and tile of each do
pot appear at all anxious to kiss and he
friends. In the common action against the
regime of the Sublime Ports. Many of
the most prominent members of the Ar
menian "Halk" Society foregather in a
musidal cafe, the Taverne Muller, in the
grim shadow of the Pantheon, where, to
the light strains of the "Blue Danube,”
or of “Travlata,” the Armenian leaders,
the Tchobagians, Klmasslans and Doritorl
choorians, lay their mines for the libera
tion of their remote mountain lands and
for the avenging of their thousand of mas
sacred fellow countrymen.
■Those Parisian exiles for whom “Kose
zlusko fell," to wit, the Poles, have
necessarily to wage a triple war. Some
of them are German subjects, some are
under the Knout of Russia, others are
ground down by the white uniformed
Austrians. They meet in Paris to plol
against the three countries. They are en
gaged in striving by ail means short of
force to keep the Polish spirit still burn
ing and to preserve the national language
and customs against the “foreigners,”
who. in those three different lands, are
trying to absorb and transform the Pol
ish element. In this the agitators are suc
ceeding singularly. The three powers are
finding it lnereasigly hard to assimilate
their reluctant Polish subjects.
Wherever there are a few thousand Poles
in a town the administration rapidly falls
into their hands and the local “acts" are
couched in the Polish language. The
Paris Committee of the "Pons of Kosezl
usko,” which meets weekly at the Cafe
Napolitaln, is making the digestion of
their countrymen Increasingly difficult to
every power that controls a concentrated
Polish population.
Hundreds of Americans know every cor
ner of a certain long, low roofed barroom
within a stones throw of'the fashionable
and stately Church of tlie Madeleine. This
is "Old Pat's.” though Pat Reynolds him
self is now dead. "Pat's" was the ren
dezvous of extreme Irish revolutionists,
Fenians. Clan-na-Guel men, and members
of all kinds of desperate little societies

upon their outskirts. Many a desperate
plot was arranged in the little curtained
recess at the right end of the room; many
a brave "boy” left that place to take
ship for Dublin, bringing secret docu
ments to the "home-leaders," or guns
for a hoped for “rising.” There is no
Irishman or ‘Trish-Ainerlcan” of any
note in the unwritten secret history of
the Green Isle, among the early txiles
of '4B, the Fenian leaders of '67 or the
land-league men of the eighties, that has
not passed into that little recess and talk
ed Ireland to the fumes of "Old Pal’s”
curious whisky. John O’Mahony of Chi
cago and New York and John Boyle
O'Reilly of Boston, two American Journ
alists an<l llterateurs well known in their
way. insisted that plotting at Pal’s should
be done as much as possible In Irish, to
safeguard conspirators against English
spies. Many Americans never suspected
of streaking anything but good "United
States” would he convicted of an excel
lent fluency in Gaelic If those walls were
phonographs.
There was a curious scene at “Old
Pat’s" several years ago. Mr. Arthur
Balfour, the nephew of Lord Salisbury,
who waa then the incarnation in the
Emerald Isle of the rigid, repressive
measures of England and was held in
murderous detestation by the people, was
once brought to visit the "Irish-Amerl
can her” as one of the curiosities of
Paris. The first man he saw, at a little
table near the door, was Mr. William
O'Brien, whose shaven hair had not yet
had time to grow' since he came out of
prison, w’here Mr. Balfour himself had
sent him under the Coercion Act. The
English visitor made a hasty salute and
passed along. At a little distance down
the room he nearly fell into the arms of
Mr. Michael Davitt, who, at the very mo
ment, was “wanted' 'by the "Balfour Po
lice” on a Coercion writ, which had forc
ed the Mayo patriot over the straits. Had
the Briton ventured a little further ho
would have fallen among an assemblage
of Irishmen, whose principles arid plans
would have made his hair stand on end;
men in comparison with whom Mr. O Brlen
anA Mr. Davitt were as innocent babes
of The revolutionary movement. But Mr.
Balfour stood not upon the order of his
going; he went at once, fleeing in confu
sion as if his own police were after him.
“Old Pat” laughed to his dying day over
Mr. Balfour's comically rueful face on this
occasion.
Another English-speaking bar at which
conspiracy—of a kind—has been played is
the well known house in the Rue de lu
Chaussee D’Antin, where, two or three
years ago. the late ex-King Milan of Ser
via used to hold his highly pn-klngly re
vels. Milan loved English aie and Scotch
whisky. Wlien he had imbibed generous,
ly of both in turn he used to hold forth
with eloquence on his doings and on the
unfUial conduct of his “usurping son,” and
called upon all who happened to he there
to join him in seeing justice done to a
dethroned King and .in unhappy father.
Sometimes he would conclude his Inco
herent orations with a request for the loan
of half a dollar to go on with. It Is a
fact that he often tan absolutely out of
cash through his reckless extravagance,
though he had a princely allowance from
the private purse of his son, the king, as
well an from the Servian House of Par
liament. Lots of people "lent" him the
half doilar or the twenty francs he hap
pened to ask for; there is always a certain
satisfaction in having a King among your
creditors. Milan, of course, never paid.
Sometimes, for a Joke, someone would re
mind him of the debt: “Sire, I had the
honor of lending your Majesty half a dol
lar last week.” The ex-King would draw
himself up with a drunken dignity: "Sir,
you forget yourself. Sir. you do not know
to whom you are talking. I am a King,
sir: and a King never borrows money.” 11
hie creditors Insisted Milan's wrath was
sublime. He once said to Mr. Clifford Mil
lage, the correspondent of the London
Chronicle, who was taking a rise out of
his drunken Majesty: "Mtllage. you have
been my friend; I would like to have been
yours; hut all is over between us from
this day. Thank your fates that 1 do not
wield the power of my ancestors. They
would not have suffered this Insult!" Ills
Majesty sublimely forgot that his grand
father, the first Ohrenovitch, had been a
herder, lending pigs and cows on the
Servian mountain slopes.
That English has. all the same, seen
soma real conspiring. Milan was quite of
ten sober about midday, and It was in
tile lunch room, over the English food he
liked so mtt.'n, that ite met she discon
tented or disgraced officers and the in
triguing deputies of the "Hobranje,”
through whose efforts lie hoped to dispos

sion to some foreign court. I have often
seen him taking his appetizer at a table
just by the window, talking the while to
the members of his staff, who counted on
finding him there, or to sympathizers with
ihe Boer cause. It was here he made ar
rangements with the American and Irish
pro-Boers, who were sending volunteers
to aid the daring farmer soldiers.
There is in Paris a little circle of the
exiled adherents of Don Carlos, who
hope one day to aid him snatching
the crown from the head of the boy
King of Spain. These exiled Grandees
are, truth to tell, rather a shabby lot,
though they are all Dukes or Mar
quises at the very least. “Carlism”
does not seem to agree with them. At
the little eating house off the Avenue del
Opera, where they meet to play cards,
and pressumably to do a little conspiracy,
their dinner bills do not represent a for
tune to the proprietor. They seem gen
erally to dine on a bowl of soup (strongly
flavored and "scented” with garlic) and a
great chunk of bread per man. But if
their bill of fare is not expensive and
their cuffs show frayed edges their man
ners are those of courts. They salute
each other like kings and they offer you
a cup of bad coffee as if they were pre
senting you with Tokay in a golden vase.
Always before breaking up their nightly
card parly they solemnly drink to "King
Carlos and his Right." Poor, ragged
Dukes and Grandees; there is something
charmingly pathetic in their unwavering
fidelity. Stephen Austin.
SOI TH CAROLINA DISTILLERY.
A Navnnnuh Corporation among
Those Seeking n Contract.
Columbia, S. C., March 10.—The board
of directors of the dispensary have ad
journed without deciding as to who shall
have the permit to establish a whisky dis
tillery In Columbia.
The board received applications from
four concern* to erect distilleries here.
As one distillery can turn out all the
"raw material" that can be used by the
dispensary, it narrowed to a tight for su
premacy among the liquor houses, and
the board is yet undecided.
The Richland Distillery Company, cap
ital $50,000, and the Carolina Distillery
Company, capital $75,000, have been char
tered by the Secretary of State. These
charters cannot be used unless the state
boat'd grants permits.
Other applicants for permits are Lana
han & Sons of Baltimore and the Palmet
to Distillery Company of Savannah.
The stale dispensary buys about 12.000
barrels of corn liquor, and the company
that get* the mono|>oly will have a very
good thing.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON'S YOUTH.
4 Lied Ilia Father In Hl* l.nhor and
His Work Was llnneatly Done.
From tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is no finer, more Instructive illun
trutioft of republican possibilities In the
way of rising to eminence than ia pre
sented in the career of Admiral William
T. Sampson, Rear Admiral, United
States Navy. In the town of Palmyra,
Wayne county, N. Y.. Sampson was horn,
Feb. 8, 1840, and received the first hard
knocks (hat “seasoned” him for future
honors.
The Samps* at stock on hotli shies came
from the Scotch Presbyterian branch of
the English race that nettled In the
North of Ireland. James tlampaon waa
one of threa la id hers, all in very hum Me
walks of life, who came to this country
and planted themselves in or near Pal
myra where he met and married Hannah
Walk*,. The father labored at anything
h< couvt find in the village.
He aawud wood, did rtiore*, was timely
at gardening, a man of ail work, and ha
did everything iv*U. They tii say tbe.
The family was a large one; It was a
constant hustle for food and clothes, and
as the boys grew up they handled bread
winning oars by the father's side. One
trait in William’s character developed
early—the propensity to make a clean job
of anything he undertook.
"Will used to hoe corn and potatoes for
me when he was a little shaver for two
shillings a day,” said Farmer C. D. John
son, “and he did the work as conscien
tiously as if he was getting $2 a day. No
matter what the job chanced to be, he
went at it with grim earnestness, and
never let up till he finished it thoroughly.”
About four miles out of town, on the
Mormon Hill Farm, lives the Admiral's
brother George, a plain, old-fashioned
farmer, who tells one good story to point
the grim perseverance in William's char
acter. They were at work on the farm
one day when a boyish quarrel sprang up
between them. George, the younger, pick
ed up a stone and hit William. “Then I
took to my heels,’ said the brother, "and
Will after me at full speed. I could beat
him on the run, hut he kept after me two
solid hours, and would have winded his
game sure in the end if father hadn’t
come on the scene and put a stop to the
scrap. There waa no let up in that boy
when he started out for a thing.”
In 1857 Congressman Morgan was hunt
ing for a likely boy to send to Annapolis.
There were families in the town then of
greater prominence in a social and politi
cal way that had sons at the proper age,
and if it had hinged on a matter of in
fluence the prize would have gone to one
of them. They were all good fellows, but
they happened to he only sons, and the
families didn't take kindly to the idea
of a naval life for their darlings. Samp.
sci entered the Naval Academy in 1857,
and was graduated first in his class three
. years later.

symptoms—after I had tried medicines,
and Dr. Calhoun had blown through both
my ears from my nose, at his suggestion
I came here. X have been here one week,
and while I am not entirely over the ef
fects of the attack. 1 am so much better
that I do not hesitate to commend the
place to any fellow sufferer. In fact, I
deem it ft duty to do so. • * * The ob
ject of this letter is not to advertise the
springs, but to tell my friends who have
the grippe, or have had it. to come here
and get relief. The proprretor says his
faith is so firm that any man or woman
suffering with the disease who comes and
uses the water as he directs and remains
for two weeks or a month, and is not
relieved will get his board free. As sure
as you come you will be paid for the
trouble. I believe the cure is as certain
for Dyspepsia and Liver and Kidney
troubles and all Impurities of the Blood.
