A THE ANCIENT VILLAGE OF CHAILLOT. ‘Te Rue de Chaillot will be remembered by all ‘Americans who kuow Paris as the street of the American Legation, well remembered by other than Americans as the street of refuge and succor and “sanctuary” at times during the siege of Paris and the Commune, The Rue de Chaillot runs from @ very new to what appears to be @ very old part of Paris. The very new part with wide streets and glaring houses 48 @part of the work of Baron Haussmann, The ‘very old part is the main street of the old village Of Chaillot, which stands upon 4 hill in the suburbs ‘of ‘Paris, and looked down upon Paris, and was the ‘Tome ‘of Franklin for a time before he moved to ‘Passy, and, I believe, also of Jefferson. Well, ‘Paris has combined Chaillot as well as Passy, and ‘merged the village into the metropolis, and swept “beyond, hurrying to the Seine and the Bois de Boulogne. But you see the old street and the old houses and the old associations, until you pass through: to Haussman’s work beyond, the Boule- vard and‘the Arch of Triumph, which stands al- most overshadowing, and Chaillot looks a piece of sixteentn century Paris embodied upon nineteenth century Paris, which sprawled so widely under Na- poleonism, and go on. I do not know how your fancy runs, but sixtcenth century Paris, wherever I see it, has a great attraction, and when I go to Chaillot to see the official spot where our cagle is sustained by Mr. Washburne and his associates, I am always giad to cross the wide boulevard which divides the ‘mew Paris from the old village that once had its ‘Own sunny, independent life here on the hillside, nd is now only the fragment of a great city, THB HOME OF CORA PRARL. ‘The home of our eagle, where Mr. Washburne sits im watch and ward over it, is 95 Rue de Chaillot, Two doors below is the home of Miss Cora Pearl. Here about a month ago a young man named Alex- ander Duval, abont twenty-five years of age, the inheritor of a large fortune and the heir of one still larger, shot himself with a pistol, “DUVAL'S.”” Those familiar with the institutions of Paris will remember “‘Duval’s.” This imstitution is as wel known here as Delmontco’s in New York—may be called, in fact, a cheap Delmonico’s. There are, perhaps, adozen houses in Paris called bouillon establishments, and controlled by Duval The founder was @ poor, honest butcher, who tooked after the quality of his viands and made a great deal of money. From the selling of meat came the establishment of cheap restaurants, and the father passed away, leaving his business to his widow and gon. The Duval establishments are features of Paris, and Madame Duval continues her active +@upervision of the business, going from one shop to mother, studying the character of the meat ana food and instructing the servants in the science of that economy upon which g@uccess rested. I despair of giving you an idea of the economy, the refinement of detail in managing the business, and the conse- quent cheapness of Duval’s. Aman may dine there comfortably, satisfying all natural wants, and<not without a degree of luxury, for thirty cents. So tlousands dine there, and Duval has become an institution. The business is new ina company, and madame holds control of the stock. YOUNG DUVAL, the het to the butcher Duval, who erected this vast business, is rather a light-headed young Frenchman, who, not having to earn his money, Mas exerted himeelf strenuously to waste it. It Rhad. been arranged between the young man and his mother that he should not withdraw his her it- age from the business. So much capital taken out mught impeverish it, she thought, and it was agreed that he should have an income of 50,000 francs a year;.with wich a Frenchman would do as much here asa New Yorker would do with a hundred thousarsl francs. But this was a little matter to Mie young Davai, and again and again he was com- spe'led.totmake demands upon his mother to “pay ig dents." ‘He had fallen in love with Cora Pearl, Before epeaking of this amour ana its tragic fulfil- ment, le tyme tel! you something of Cora Pearl.

Here was a woman who could do what neither French man nor wean could, and the monde galant opencd ranks, an she became a queen. ts TOW A PRINCE WAS CONQUERED. Of the life that came how can I speak, or, rather how should I, even if I could? Nor did she conten herselt with the co:rien haunts, but vaulted higher and higher ‘tor all _kinds of soaring game—up among the cits, where dukes and counts were to be found, now and then picking up @ stray rich American a8 a morsel by the way, or a Russian Prince, ora Brazthan, with his coffee cups in his pocket and braided over his garments. She made a lunge at the Tuileries, ‘but sunny-haired Eugénte lontijo kept that eyrie safe, and the sphinx of the Empire was uncharmed, But there was another Napoleon with warm blood in his veins—so the ru- mor gocs—Jerome Napoleon, over the way, ot the Palais Royal At this time Jerome Napoleon was keeping a kind of supple- mentary opponigen court at Meudon, where he talked republicanism and drew his several salaries as an imperial priace, and gathered children to himself from the daughter of a king. Well, Meudon has gone into ashes aud destruction, and is now “aq relic of the war,” mainly from French shells fired from Issy. But in the burnished French-gilt era it was a noble, inviting place, near enough to Paris to reach the opera in an evening drive, and had a forest around it, and the Prince kept a pack of staghounds, The story runs that upon the occa- sion Of amect of the hounds:Cora was greene; that my lord the Prince made her acquaintance, and that she honored him with her company at Mendon for a time as his guest. This is what all Parle gays, aud when the world tella one a th you must at least print and leave credence to your sense of credu- ction, marie e had money lity, a) Nay pon -gon i age are parauive t-monile bénk into the winds and was wafted to all quarters of iY, ‘lope, and she was known as the great gilded utterfy of the butterfy reign. The world talked of her, When she rode along the phampe yates Paris stopped and gave her a hi ring, half cynical shrug o! the shoulders (which was fame in the Napoleon times), and she had her hotel and servants to do her bidaing, and there were dinners which excited the envy of the toothsome world, and little suppers which were poems in their way, and as popular as poems, : CORA AS CUPID IN DIAMONDS, Then came the year of the Exhibition, that year of Napoleonic splendor, 1867, when Bonaparte, or, more property speaking, the Emperor, having been humiliated in Germany and defeated by Bismarck, comforted himself with a show of machinery and paintings, ‘This was the year when every one came to Paris, The directors of the opéra bouge resolved upon a sensation. Cora was known to all Paris, She was as well-known on the Boulevards as the Emperor himself, and much more favorably, Isuspect, The opera was “‘Orphée aux Enfers,” in which there ts a character of une ‘This character is substantially costumed in a diamond girdle and ‘white satin shoes, with massive diamond buckles, Cora played this part, and people were told that her raiment, which would scarcely satisfy criti- cal American tastes, cost $100,000, and was consequently more remarkable for quality than quantity. If Cora had simply mani- fested herself in her girdie anc buckles I don’t know but she might be onithe stage to-day, But one of the conditions of appearing in opera {s that you must sing. But Cora had a thin voice, the accent was English, and on the twelfth night a body of students came over from the Latin quarter and hissed her vehemently. Cora was not used to this kind of treatment, and in her anger lost con- trol of herself, and manifested her resentment by conduct so atrociously in violation of ail decorum that the uproar swelled into a storm, and the cur- tain fell, and Cora with her diamond trappings walked from the stage and never appeared again. After this spasmodic attempt to become what she called “an artist’? she went back to Imperial favor, and received from her benefactor the house 101 Rue de Chaillot, This was her home. She drift- ed over the Continent, and wresticd with destiny at Baden-Baden and Homburg, and was worsted. But even these misadventures had their good side. Cora knew how to adver- tise as surewdly as the owners of patent medicines and story papers, and whenever she lost any money and fell upon the stairs. That evening Cora left for London. WHAT PARIS THINKS OF THE AFFAIRE DUVAL. And Paris still discourses the “Affair Duval.’’ It was a rare Christmas sensation, and points the idle talk and jests—phrases with double meaning— that one hears in the clubs and on the Boulevards. “1 understand now,” said one, “why the cutlets were so much smaller and the dow so mach thinner at Duval’s, They had to economize for Cora.” “It is good for Cora, said a graybeard. “There are lots of young fools who will waste money on her to insure a place in the papers.’” The newspapers write rival essays about it and print prurient details. Before leaving Paris Cova made an appeal to the British Ambassador, and insisted upon her rights asa British subject. But Lord Lyons could not interfere, as by French law any and every f er can be ordered to leave within twenty-four hours. I am told she intends to visit New York, After conquering Napoleon in the Oid World she will naturally seek conquests in the new one, What effect this announcement would have had in the days of Erie rings and Tam- many domination I will not venture to say. But in the reformed city—Erie dead and Tammany fed— and no one left to eat cakes and ale, I expect Cora ‘will have a dull career. THE NEW WORLD TO BE CONQUERED. Cora Pearl ts about fore years of age, irregular, keen ieatures, @ nose inclined to the sunshine, hair like the morning dawn—a soft go!den huc—or like foll_ripe-wheat-antarnished with chemicals, and a form that might be taken for the Venus of Milo. Her height is medium. Under the empire there were several duels about Cora. Perhaps you may remember how Rochefort and Prince Murat fought, Rochefort having, in his sharp, mocking way, ac- cused the Prince’ of having bought a horse from Cora, Her going to New York will depend, how- ever, upon her not being able to return to France, She is not without hope the decree may be an- nulled—a hope that is shared by the jeunesse dorce, who long to see the woman who rode like a Cen- taur, and, having conquered a Napoleon, was tinal y outlawed for the son of a butcher. As a supplement to this story let me add that Duval is doiug well physically, but is still a “fool” morally. OBITUARY. Caroline Augusta, Empress of Austria.

She was married to the Emperor Francis L, by Brocerenon, on the 29th of October, 1816, and In person on the 16th of November the same year.

Baron Blixen-Finecke. Baron Blixen-Finecke, who died just lately at Baden-Baden, was one of the eminent Danish statesmen of the present day. He was educated in Germany and studied at the same university as Prince Bismarck, who showed @ great liking for his fellow student. In the year 1861 he married the Princess Augusta, sister of the present Queen of Denmark, and in 1856 he proceeded to Paris, where he was introduced to the Em- peror Napoleon III,, and became the friend of MM. Walewski, Morny and Mocquard, Though at first @ conservative and @ decided opponent of the “Scandinavian idea,” he soon changed his opinions and joined the radical Scandinavian party in the Rigsdag. On the 2d of December, 1859, he entered the Rottwit Ministry at the ex- press desire of Frederick VIL, with whom he was @ great favorite, 18 Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister ad tnterim ior Schleswig. He did not, however, hold oftice long. Rottwit died in the fol- lowing year, and Baron Blixen-Finecke declined to form anew Ministry. When Prince Bismarck was made Minister-President in Prussia, in 1862, an article appeared in Baron Blixen-Finecke’s organ describing his future policy and pre- dicting with extraordinary accuracy the events which led up to the Austro-Prussian war. ‘This article, which ts supposed to have been written by Baron Blixen-Finecke himself, provoked extraor- dinary interest, and he wag violently attacked in consequence by the Prussian press. Prince Bis- at cards she made so much disturbance about it in the newspapers that she became more popular thanever. In addition to her house in Paris, she purchased a country seat at Maisons-Lamitte, near st. Germain, She had houses and stables; her diamonds were valuable enough to endow a dozen country curates; sbe had real estate and other posnennicsss; {na had so garnered the hours of er youth and winning ways, and bound the sheaves about her, that sho-could look calmly on the shady days of life, and probably found a church and practise good works, When the war came upon France she returned to Engfand and re- mained until paris wi opened. She made no con- uosts in England—at leust soue that iave come 0 the know'edge of this historian—and she gladly came to Paris and sat down by her hearth again amid the ruins caused by the Commune, CORA CONQUERS THE BUTCHER’S SON, It was about this time—Paris shattered, the Em- re in ruins; Napoleon, the Emperor, commun- ng with destiny under the oaks of Chiselhurst; Napoleon, the prince and lover, plotting, hoping, on the Swiss shores of Lake Leman. 0 but! ertiy reign all gone. The burnished era a tarnhised era. Imperialism gone into night and despair, and all the gay world of the Second Empire with it. It was at this sad, cold time that the Queen came to her kingdom; and princes, and rich Americans and Russian counts and other high-flying game not being available, Cora made the acquaintance of sous Duval. It was something, even as Impe- rial tastes went, to pass from the nephew of Napoleon the Great to the son of a butcher. But a woman must live, especially if she be a queen, and Cora, if we must say it, was becoming old an Was not attractive. And so, when Paris heard that Cora was really in receipt of the revenues of the “Establishment Duval,” it laughed its own laugh. Some said that it was strange the son of a butcher should not know more of lis calling thar to select a charmer as old as Cora. THE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE, Well, Duval ran his course with Cora, and in time he could find no more money. Money gone, credit went with it, and he saw himself ruined. Cora dis- covered the same circumstance, and informed her butcher lover she could see him no more. This was whatanyone might have expected ; but young Duval is an ingenuous youth and not versed in the ways of the world, He prowled around Rue de Chaillot, and when he resolved to cross the threshold the servants said he could not enter, and tnat, further- more, Cora was at that time dining with another entieman. Duval was made frantic by this in- formation. He went to his apartment, on Avenue Percier, in a distracted state of mind. The servant reports that he was seen playing with two saloon istols. Duval no doubt found the pistols were of ittle eMcacy. He put his papers in order, and leav- ing a sealed package with the concierge, went out and purchased a revelver. he loaded, and proceeded to the house of Cora. Overpowering the servants, he entered herrooms. Ske was at her toilet, having her hair curled by a coiffeur. A scene ensued—-hot words, recriminations, anger. Finally Duval walked out of the room, drew his revolver from his pocket as he passed the door, and before the coitfeur could stay his hand, fired, the muzzle aimed at his heart, ie aim was imperfect, and the bail, missing the heart, passed between the lungs and the stomach. Duval fell upon the floor, Cora rushed upon him and wrenched the pistol from his hand, Her words were in themselves a history. ‘What a fool you are,” she said. THR MOTHER AND SON. The surgeons came and looked at the wound and reported that although highly dangerous it was not necessarily mortal. He could not be removed and he was carried to one of Cora’s apartments, The tidings were carried to his mother, who was summoned to his side, as he might die at any moment. Madame Duval had known of her son’s life. She had deplored it—endeavored to reform him and would see him ne more. For months ste had not seen nim, and when she heard of his act declared “she woul ver set foot in the harlot’s But the mother’s love overcame the anger and scruples of the honest woman and she went to see her som in the house which had known his mad- ness, sin and shame.

But the woman herself, as became the heroine of a hundred cam) wed at coolness and bravery. “W! 11" That was like Voitaire. Before the doc! entered the house she had sent @ messenger with all the de ofthe scandalous Figaro ne per, and asked him to senda reporter. This was like Nepoicon. Then she sent her femme de chambre to poor Duval’s rooms to obtain his papers. Thie was worthy of Vidocq. But all availed not. Refote the sun went down the Préfect of Police gent Cora ils to the editor word that, in the interesta of morality and order, she must be expeiled from France within twenty-four hours, As an illustration of the strange irony of events,. the Prefect who gave the order for Cora toy leave France was the same who executed the order\, to expel her imperial lever a few weeks since. Cora did not resign herself to her doom. She made @ battle with the law. Like Shylock she felt, “You take my home when you take that which sus- tains my house; you take my life when you take the means whereby I live.’’ She called upon M, Potinet, but he would admit of no comprom! show nomercy. Then she called upon of the upfortnnate and foolish Duval. She fancied she could engreat the mother to use her influence to im the Prefect to relent.

Enthusiastic Meeting of Cubans at Mesonic Hall Yesterday—Three Thousand Dollars Obtained for a New Expedition—Offers by Cuban Ladies—The Speech of Colonel Aguero—The Mention of Spain Received with Hisses. While the churches tn the metropolis were teem- ing yesterday morning with thousands of wor- shippers a large gathering of patriotic Cubans was being held in Masonic Hall, in Thirteenth street, for the purpose of welceming Colonel Melchor Agtiero to this city, and of tendering to him their thanks for the successful expedition of the steamer Edgar Stuart to Cuba and the landing of a large cargo of arms and munitions of war, which safely reached the hands of the Cuban liberating army. It may here be mentioned that upon the return of the vessel to the United States and her arrival at Key West the Cuban colony there gave an enthu- siastic reception to Colonel Agttero, and sub- stantially proved their patriotism by sub- scribing upwards of twenty thousand dol- lars toward the canse of free Cuba and the equipment of turtner liberating expedi- tions, The hold of the Edgar Stuart was also filled to repletion with clothing ana provisions for the patriot forces should the Cubans resolve upon sending her back to Cuba, to run the easy gauntlet of the Spanish fleet of blockading war vessels, se THE MEETING, At about one o’clock ‘nearly 4 couple of hundred people had gathered together, and were awaiting the arival of the hero of the day. Dark, flashing eyes, with hair black as the raven’s wing, were characteristic of ali preacnt in this meeting of exiles in a foreign land, There was also a fair sprinkling of ladies in the front seats, emong the most notable and beautiful being the celebrated patriot, Madame Villaverde, daughter of Mr. Cas- sanova, the wealthy banker, of Exchange place. This lady a couple of years ago went to Wash- ington, and pleaded in person to the Presi- dent for his intervention in the matter of the abolition of slavery in Cuba and of the Repub- lic of Cuba. Near her sat a beautiful Cuban child, a girl of some six summers, dressed, curiously enough, as a Highlander. Her long black tresses falling over her tartan plaid gave her a curious as pect, There were also present in the patriotic gathering the widows of many of the patriots who had falien in behalf of free Cuba, dressed in sombre mourning, and who are now supported by their Cuban brethren in this city, A large contingent of the “‘tobacceros,” or cigar-makers—of whom there are several thousand in the city—were present, among the most conspicuous being ‘El Indio,” or, as he is better known, ‘The King of the Cigar-ma- kers’’—he having earned this name by his wonder. ful dexterity in making cigars. A large number of colored people were also there, many of them hav- ing reiatives in Cuba who are still slaves, and lianle to be oifered for sale any day shcuid their masters wish to dispose of them, \ THE HAVANA SLAVE MARKET. The platforin was gayly ornainented with the well known flag of the Republic of Cuba, while @ simi- lar banner draped the table on the platform, Among the gathering were representatives from the principal Cuban socicties in ths city, viz. The “Laborantes,” “Antilladores” and the Ladi Patnotic Society, as also delegations from the Cuban socteties at Philadelphia, Boston and other large Northern cities. A few minutes before one o'clock the imposing form of Colonel Aguerro was seen entering the hall, accompanied by his hand- some son, WhO was with him on the Edgar Stuart expedition. They were accompanied b; . Ramon Arnao, the editor of the La Revolucion de Cuba, and Mr, Juan Ignacio de Armas, editor of the Inde- pendenzia, the two Cuban organs published in this city. As might be expected, the excitement and enthusiasm was intense and oy, beggars de- scription. Colonel Aguero, after bowing grace- fally in compliment to the ovation paid him, during the rest of his life he held entirely aloof trom politics, James Hannay. James Hannay, British Consul for Catalonia, Spain, has died at Barcelona, in the figy-sixth yoar ofhio age. Ho was a writer of great talent, although he ruined himself, almost, in an official position in Spain, He was born at Dumfries in 1827, At the age of thirteen he entered the Royal’ Navy, and quitted the service in 1845. He next devoted his attention to literature. In 1850 he pub- lished a novel, entitled “Singleton Fontenoy,” and in 1853 “Sketches in Ultra-Marine.” In the sum- mer of the latter year he delivered in London a series of lectures on “Satire and the Satirists.’” In 1857 he published another novel, “Eustace Con- yers,” since translated into the German; and in the same year contested in the conservative inter- est the Dumfries pburghs, but was defeated by Mr. William Ewart, In 1860 he published in a volume his contributions to the Quarterly Review. He alterwards published a ‘‘Course of English Litera- ture,’ 1866, and in 1867 a family history called “Three Hundred Years of a Norman House, the Ba- rons of Gourndy, from the tenth to the thirteenth centuries.” James Hannay was, in genius, almost the parallel of Thackeray, but owing to the necessl- ties of that splendid profession of letters which is a dedication to poverty, he hid himself in a consul- ship at Barcelona. For pedigree he had a keener scent, perhaps, than even Sir Bernard Burke him- self; and he could haunt down, like a sieuth-hound, the origin of the British aristocracy—that of Scot land in particular. Lawrence E. Knox. On Friday, January 24, dicd at his residence, in Dublin, Major Lawrence E. Knox, a prominent and talented Irish journalist and founder and proprietor of the Irish Times newspaper. For some days he had been sulfering from an attack of scarlatina, which he seemed to bave surmounted, but Nis pulse became suddenly more feeble, and clasping the hand of a near relative he gave one short sigh and died. Major Knox was the eldest son of arthur Knox, Esq., of Trotton, Sussex, and of Lady Jane Par- sons, daughter of the Karl of Rosse. He was born in 1836, and was called away in the thirty-sixth year of his age. Tearing @ commissien inthe Sixty-third British regiment of infantry, and sub- sequently in the Eleventh regiment, he servcd throughout the campaign in the Crimea, where he obtained his Captaincy. In 1858 he married his cousin, Clara Charlotte, second daughter of Major Ernest Kmox, of Castlerea, county Mayo. In 1866 he became Major in the Tawer Hamlets Militia, and Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Middlesex. He was also a Justice of the Peace for th Dab. ie county of George Hull Bowers, D. D. Very Rev. George Hull Bowers, D. D., at one time Dean of Manchester, England, according to the rite of the Established Church, died not long since at Leamington. He was born in the year 1794, His first pastoral charge was the perpetual curacy of Elstow, Beds, which he held from 1819 to 1832, when he removed to London. As rector of St. Paul's, Covent Garden—an appointment for which he was indebted to the late Duke of Bed- ford—he acquired considerable influence and popu- larity, and was regarded as one of the ablest and most successful preachers in London. In 1847, on the formation of the See of Manchester, he was nominated to the Deant it the Cathedral church, the annual value of whic about two thousand posnae, is one of the most lucrative preferments im the district. This oMce he held until the 26th of September, 1872, when re- signed it. Dr. Bowers was not a frequent preacher, but his pulpit services were eminent! impressive and interesting. He originated Haileybury Col- bP ape the East India College) and School, of which he was chairman, on & lan similar to that of Marlboro igh, . wers’ remaining contributions to ‘the press consist of “A Volume of Sermons Preached before the University of Cambridge,” and another entitled “Sermons Preached in St. Paul's, Covent Garden, in 1848."

Both addresses protested against Spanish tyranny in Cuba, and as the name of Spain was mentioned 8 Were heard in various parts of the hall. AGUBRO'S SPEECH, Colonel Agtiero, accompanied by his son, then ascended to the platform. ‘The latter wore the uni- form of a Cuban naval officer. The outburst of en- thusiasm which greeted father and son was as cor- dial as it was spontaneous. After order had been obtained Colonel Aguerro made an eloquent speech which in several passages almost worked the audi- ence into a frenzied state, Colonel Aguerro said :. Cunan Parniors—I thank you a thousand times for you: kind invitation to be preset at your mecuing today shall now have the pleasure of speaking about my late Cuban experiences among our struggling brethren.

When I returned to the free soi ‘was received, We, officers 2, dents of Key West with open arms, ven us was of the most enthusi: earts beat in unison with yours” they arr and what we possess are at your disposi ell, this Cuban colony of noble patriots subscribed for them the large sum of upwards of twenty thousand dollars in money, watches and jewelry and real estate for the of tree Cuba.

Poor darkies brought forth frem their purses sums varying from ten to twenty-five dollars, while others gave from ten to one hundred dollars, A proposition was made and carried that all who could afford it, in addition to their subscriptions, should pre a musket, and one geatiomnn promised six Spencer rifles. Two uban ladies, whose names were withheld, offered to have all the clothing made up for the men going on the next expedition. When the collection was over, the Seeretary, Mr. Pifiiero, told the HERALD reporter that the subscriptions promised and the amount received Seen to $3,000, and that in all probability at least twenty thousand dollars or more would be received within the next few weeks. Considerable speculation existed among the Cubans present as to where the next expedition would start from, but from authentic reports it is believed that New Orleans will be the port of departure, on account of the great sympathy existing in Louisiana for the Re- ublic of Cuba. Both Legislatures in that State jave passed resolutions calling upon President Grant to interfere and suppress slavery in Cuba and give the Cubans belligerent rights. Several colored men, bora in Cuba, stated their intention to attend the colored meeting in Philadelphia, This Meeting is gotten up by the Cuban Anti-Slavery So- clety of New York, AN EMBRACE OVER AN ODE. A few minutes belore the close of the meetin; Mr, Jacinto Valdes read an ode in honor of Colonel Aguerro. At its conclusion Colonel Aguerro crossed the platform and threw his arms around the poet as a sign of gratitude. As the audience was dispersing, Colonel Aguerro informed them that he had a ship and arms ready to proceed to Cuba, but that the point of departure Was not yet agreed upon. - BX-GOVERNOR GEARY, Announcement of the Funeral—The Body to Lie in State—Distinguished Persons Expected To Be Present.
