Scranton Miners Decide Not to Move Acrninnt the AVnxhrrlPft. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 21.-A meeting of the presidents of the Scranton local unions or the United Mino Workers was held this afternoon, to discuss the advisability of taking aggressive steps toward closing up the wasluries. After carefully canvassing the situation. It was decided to let the matter rest for a while. The" fact that the end of the strike is generally believed to be at hand impelled the meeting to refrain from making this move, which i3 generally conceded would be attended with the possibility of disorder, and which would have a tendency to do more harm to the cause than to the operation of the washeries. The general situation was also discussed, and one of the presidents, at the conclusion of the meeting, stated to the Associated Press that, In his Judgement, the men would be perfectly satisfied to accept the 10 per cent, offer with the powder clause included. "All that we can expect to inforce Is that we get the 10 per cent." said he. "It is hardly the thing for us to think that we can dictate to the companies how thy shall pay the advance." Organizer Fred Dilche-r does not talk this way, however. He says the convention demanded a straight 10 per cent, advance, with the powder question left for future adjustment, and that until this demand is complied with, to the very letter, the ofilcers have no authority to call off the fctrike. The strikers here believe that the companies which have failed to comply with the agreement of Thursday's conference to pest amendments to the original offer guaranteeing its continuance till April 1, 1301, are prompted by a desire to hold up the settlement and see If tt Is not possible to cause a break in the Schuylkill region. WILL SOT RESPOND. Zllners Have No Intention of an Early It et urn to Work. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 21. Committees of United Mine Workers canvassed the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company's strikers of this place. Mount Carmel and Locust Gap, to-day, to learn whether any of the men Intended going to work to-morrow. The strike leaders this evening stated that no one would respond to the blowing of the whistles excepting engineers ana nre Dosses. A prominent local official of the Union Coal Company says the company positively refuses to concede to any of the demands made by the Scranton convention. The company claims that its busy season has been ruined by the strike and they do not cire when the strike Is settled, feeling positive that they can hold out much longer than the striking miners. The company controls four large collieries in the Shamokln region. AMONG TUE RICH. Where tbe Pin Prick of the Impecanloua Visitor Comes Prom. New York Tribune. "People cannot realize," exclaimed a popular society girl who had been blessed with very little of this world's goods, "how many pinpricks we impecunious ones suffer from when we visit at the rich man's house. At home I really do not mind being poor. To contrive and work over my clothes with mamma, to get wonderful bargains at the shops, to evolve a new hat or a new costume out of practically nothing, to have the family praise me for my cleverness and admire me in the result all that is a positive pleasure, and I often think rich girls have no idea how much enjoyment they lose by being able to go to u dress maker's or a milliner's and buy Just what they want. But when 1 visit my rich ac qualntances, then it is that I feel the stings of poverty, and. oddly enough, It is not xny friends that uncnsciously emphasize the difference in our conditions as much as their very 'tlp-toppy servants. My an noyances begin as soon as I arrive. 'May Hi 'ave the key of your bag, mlssT says the supercilious looking English maid: or. Will Madamolselle have ze goodness to give me her keys,' from the overpollte French femmc de chambre, 'that 1 can unpack ze things?' while I, conscious of patched silk linings, darned stockings and the many small economies of a wardrobe that must not be too closely examined. make some excuse for dispensing with their services. nen I dress for the even Ing It is the same thing. I feel conscious that the maid who fastens my bodice recog -nlzes that it is home-made and that I have, been- discussed in the servants hall and given a very low-down place, indeed, among the 'quality, for servants distinctly resent the fashionable poor, who, they feel, have no right to be served with tho 'cake and ale of existence. "In some houses the lady's maid Is very Kind, far too kind almost patronizing and refuses to take my tip when I leave Nothing, by the way, makes me feel so j..oor as that. At one house, not long ago, where I insisted upon the kind creature who helped me with my toilet taking a couple of dollars, I actually found the bill pinned to my coat when I put it on to go away. I suppose 'a fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind. I said to myself, as I pocketed the bank note ruefully. 'She probably thinks I need it more than she does.' " WEATHER FORECAST.

Sn miliary of the Work of the Farmers' Conference at Purdue. Social to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 21. The Third Annual Conference of Farmers Institute Officers and Workers, held at Lafayette, on the 17th and ISth Inst., was a success, both in point of attendance and interest. The several subjects of the programme were taken up and discussed in an earnest, quiet and instructive manner, befitting a conference. The first session was devot ed entirely to the improving and cropping of the soil. That phase of the subject re lating to the fertilization proved to be of especial Interest to the audience. The address on fertilization was illustrated with bottles containing the plant food elements contained In ten pounds each of several farm products. The illustration showed graphically the loss that occurred when crops were sold from the farm, and emphasized very strongly the Importance of feeding the roughage upon the farm. At the afternoon session, which was devoted to sheep and cattle, Mr. A. M. Welch, of Ionia, Mich., gave a talk on the feeding of sheep, and showed by means of a small model the form of feeding rack used on the farm, which enabled men to do the feed ing in a very expeditious manner. Mr. L II. Kerrlck, of Bloomington, 111., followed with a very thoughtful and interesting pa per on "Beef Production." Mr. Kerrlck strongly emphasized the importance of growing beef from the start. Instead of following the more common method of allowing the animals to grow to maturity and then undergo the fattening proCess. At the evening session, which was devoted to "The Farm Home." Mrs. James A. Mount read a carefully prepared paper on "The Dwelling, In which she empha sized the Importance of a comfortable, con venient, commodious, well-furnished farm dwelling. Mr. W. S. Ratllff, of Richmond, followed with an earnest plea for tasteful "Home Surroundings," and Mrs. De Vilblss, of Fort Wayne, discussed In a char acteristic, spicy, forcible and thoroughly enjoyable way "Jlome Making." Several followed In the Informal discussion. The theme for- the Thursday morning session was "The Needs of Agriculture. Mr. U. M. Stewart, of Madison, in a clear cut, practical paper presented the neces sity of "Specialization." This was followed by a talk on "Co-operation" by Professor C. S. Plumb. Professor Plumb referred to the meager results and frequent failures of co-operation In the United States, and presented some interesting examples of successful co-operation In Holland and Denmark. President Stone then presented the need of "Agricultural Education" as a means of promoting agriculture. Notwith standing the good showing which the School of Agriculture mkes, when Purdue University is compared with the other universities which give several courses. President Stone believes that the number of students in the School of Agriculture should be largely increased. ' He earnestly favored such additional State aid as would make it possible to greatly strengthen and improve the School of AKriculture, In which he was warmly seconded by the audience. President Stone's address was listened to throughout with the closest attention and marked expressions of ap proval. The School of Agriculture at Pur due is doing well the work for which It was intended. This fully justifies the plea of President Stone for additional means with which to equip and man a School of Agriculture, commensurate with the agrl cultural interests of the State. The closing session of.the conference was devoted to the consideration of the needs of the Farmers' Institute work as viewed from the standpoints of tho County Chair man. "The Speaker" and "The Superintend ent." Alexander Johnson, of Fort Wayne. II. F. McMahan, of Fairfield. W. C. Latta und others participated in the discussion. The committee on resolutions, consisting of H. F. McMahan. Mr. Naomi De Vllbiss. of Fort Wayne. G. M. Naber. of Treaty, J. J. W. Bllllngsley. of Indianap olis, and Milton Truster, of Connersville, formulated the view of the conference in resolutions urging the necessity of greater appropriations for the State Agricultural School at Purdue; providing for a commit tee of three to urge upon the Legislature the necessity of making such appropriations: commending the work done by the r.chooi, and urging the necessity for more buildings and more extensive equipment. mUS TO HIS FOLLOWERS.

In his addrers he covered al points in tho present trouble, and earnestly requested that tho members of L.

A settlement between the American Tin-plato Company and the stationary engineers has been reached, and the regular engineers will re turn to work Tuesday morning with a raise n wages and a recognition of their or ganization. The latter is the real issue with the engineers, and the increase in wages comes as an extra. The engineers have been engaged as individuals hereto fore, but during the vacation they or ganized a union, and when the wage scale of the other trades was presented that of the engineers was omitted because they had not filed a claim for recognition. Several of the men In the gas belt plants have been replaced during the time they have been out, but it is understood that all will be taken back. All classes of employes now engaged by the American Tin-plate Company are unionized, and they are work ing for the highest wage scale ever given in this country. KILLED BY THE CARS. .

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGEA Kxpress Company; United States Senator tecjre L. Wellington. Maryland, and exRepresentative John De Witt Warner, Nov. York. Th address says "We regard with profound apprehension the course of the present administration in Porto Rico and tho Philippine.. Our prior acquisitions were of adjacent territory for the extension of the area of constitutional government and the creation of new States of the Union. We made their few inhabitants citizens; our people settled them; we there established th Institutions of freedom. For th first time in our history it is now proposed that the President and Congrtss i-hall ruK vast territories and millions of men outside our constitutional system. Officials sworn to support the Constitution and deriving all powers therefrom, have acquired colonies and assumed arbitrary authority to govern their Inhabitants without conent, and to tax them without representation. This policy offers to the reople of Porto Rico and the Philippine no hope of independence, no prospect of

American citizenship; no representation In

the Congress which taxes them, mis is the government of men by arbitrary power; this is Imperialism. "We believe tht it is the first duty of the American peoDle to stamp with their disapproval doctrines ?o hostile to liberty and dangerous to constitutional government. If they are to remain free and their government is to continue representative. their servants must not have or exerciseany but constitutional powers. lietween the claim of freedom that ell men arc entitled to equal political rights and the dogma of tyranny that might makes right. there Is no middle ground."We hive not. prior to this year, supported the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. We do not now concur in certain of his views on minor issues. Yrt his position on the supreme Issue of the present condition is fo sound and bis advocacy of it has been so able and courageous that we now favor Ms election as the most effective way of showing disapproval of Mr. McKinley's course. Without claiming any special political influence, we unite, for what ouij examnle may be worth to our fellow-cit izens. In this statement of proposed action in the presence of 'a greater danger than we have encountered since the pilgrims landed at Plymouth the danger that we are to be transformed from a republic, founded on the Declaration of Independence, guided by the councils of Washings ton, into a vulgar, commonplace empire founded on physical force. "We invite the co-operation of all independent voters to avert this great and impending danger." EXPENSES FOR OCTOBER NEARLY HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ALLOWED AT 31 AM LA. Testimony Tnklnjr Regarding Conduct of the Friars Protrts Aealnst Re-Estnhllshlnf? tjic Orders. MANILA, Oct. 21. The Philippine com mission has passed a bill appropriating $475,000 gold for the payment of expenses incurred for the benefit of the Insular gov ernment during October. The bill goes carefully into details regarding the Items of expenditures throughout the archi pelago. Judge Taft, president of the commission, has beea engaged for some time in taking a mass of Filipino testimony concerning the conduct and policy of the friars, this being a continuation of the investigation which began with the depositions of bishops and members of monastic orders. The statements of the Filipinos go to show that the friars, under the Spanish regime, greatly abused their limitless political and religious powers over the community, and that this abuse of authority often led to Immorality. All the testimony offered by the Filipinos shows that they do not desire the return of the friars to the parishes. Archbishop Chappelle has gone to the more peaceful provinces of northern Luzon, accompanied by three Dominican friars. It is asserted and generally believed that he intends to re-establish these friars in certain parishes, and the trip Is exciting the natives in Manila, who call on their countrymen to prevent the re-establishment of any friar, on the ground that it would fix a dangerous precedent for the future. Senor Buencamino has received what purports to be a letter from Agulnaldo, ordering the former leaders of the revolution who are now in Manila to desist from the formation of political parties and ta cease all attempts at pacification. The letter mysteriously hints that plans are maturing among the armed rebels In the field and describes these as "best for the country." Senor IJuencamino declares that the letter is genuine. The military situation was comparatively quiet last week. The commission, the military authorities, tho Filipinos and the foreigners are awaiting the result of Ihe presidential election In the United States. Many persons assert that whatever this may bo It will have no immediate effect on the armed situation in the Philippines, and that disorders and guerrilla attacks will continue for a time. Mr. R. Wildman, United States consul general at Hong-Kong, who Is now in Manila, says the expectation of a general antiforeign outbreak In southern China, notably In Canton, is growing dally, and that cablegrams received by him last week record an Increasing uneasiness In HongKong. A troop of the Sixth Urtited States Cavalry and a contingent of marines from the United States battleship Indiana have arrived here from China. ITS SILVER JUBILEE.

STILL IS KEPT ALIVE

FRENCH REIGN OF TERROR IX THE HEART OF 1IAYTI.' Ungiisli Writer on Conditions In the Black ItepulI I e Tragedies In the History of the Government. Hesketh Tritchard, In London Express. Hayti is like a stage before which the curtain is down. Behind the curtain the dramas of life and death are being played out over and over again. But the scenes are hidden from the eyes of the world; we can only guess at them. The curtain fell upon a tragedy a hundred years ago, when the Infuriated blacks, stung from their apathy by the distant reverberation of the French revolution, arose and massacred their French masters. There were a good many villains in the piece. Rochefoucald on the French side, Dessallnes on that of the slaves, and the last scene closed in blood to the shrieks of the women and children. Since then a hundred years of happenings have gone forward. They are going forward to-day. Of what nature are they? Before landing you are told that you will see things to surprise, horrify and amuse. In the finest street of the principal town of the greatest negro republic in the world has ever seen I was Just too late to witness the following incident and Just in tlmo to see the funeral: At 2:30 o'clock the street was quiet. At 2:33 two negroes in black frock coats and black straw hats, their long chin tufts giving a strange, un-Hamltlc air to their melancholy faces, appeared walking up the street. An altercation on a matter as trivial as the brushing of an elbow broke out between them. The fatter of the two rushed into his house and ran out again with a cacomacque club to back up his arguments. A revolver shot rang out, the fat man uttered a little gurgle and rolled out into the sun, where he lay kicking feebly, like a dying trout, on the dirty, dusty roaa. The murderer was sentenced to four days' imprisonment. And now a few lines of history. Hayti, the negro republic, since the successful revolt against slavery and the massacre of her French colonists and masters, has been self-governing for nearly a hundred years. During that period she has been twice an empire, once a kingdom and for the rest of the time a republic. In the course of the empire stage she ran a nobility, Including fifty-seven dukes, among whom were their graces of Marmalade and Lemonade. To-day the places of barons and princes are taken by generals, for Hayti is now a military republic, with a super-ranked army of 4,000 generals and 4,000 privates. Of the nineteen Kings, Emperors and Presi dents who have directed the helm" of the state for a period exceeding one month only two have died In power and in bed at the same time. Opposite the names of the other seventeen I find such legends as the following inscribed: "Fled," "Wounded," Shot," VAbdlcated," "Exiled." The country is governed by generals. coal-black, fierce-eyed negroes, who drive the chariot of power with the scorpions of absolutism. When a Swiss, living in one of the seacoast towns, went shooting into the in terior without a permit, the local general sent out troops to bring him to his footstool. "What is your nationality?" thundered the general. "Please, I am only a poor little Swiss." The general turned to his secretary. "Have the Swiss a navy?" "No, M. le General." "Then throw the brute into prison." Navies, that "far called, melt away," are not only for show. 1 was assured by every one that for a traveler to land casually without special knowledge of the working of the wheels and with the intention of riding through the country was an extremely risky pro ceeding. However, the risks passed me by. ana i was repaid oy naving the chance or studying the most singular and interesting people l nave ever been among. Haiti is emphatically a land of surprises. It is possible to be present at a ceremony closely allied to human sacrifice within a mile of an electric light plant. Human sacrifice! Central Africa, some of the coral islands of the south seas and Terra del Fuego are, you would say, the only spots where such things still occur. Also Haiti. This is a country of which, by speaking or electric light, i may give you an erroneous impression. Outside the coast towns no white man lives; the interior is delivered up to the blacks, with their hereditary customs of snake worship or voodoo, as they call It, their heathenism being little modified by the teachings of the few itinerant Roman Catholic clergy. The worship of the sacred snake, which Sir Richard Burton refers to as "the abominable orgies enacted before the voodoo king and queen," jostles with the tenets of Christianity m the heart or this almost unpenetrated country. When you reach the deep Interior there are overgrown tracks winding away Into the mountains. Traveling by these at night you come suddenly upon dark figures twisting and dancing in the red glow of midforcst fires. In a won!, it is a strip of West Africa transplanted to the Caribbean sea. Far away among the mountains I came across a man whose features and ideas. In spite of years spent in his wattled sun rotted hut, testified to another and less fciualld past. He- was living as a native. Replying to a question about human sacrifice and the subsequent cannibal orgy: "Yes, it certainly exists," he said, "but it is their religion. And the cannibalism, if you like to call it by that name, is a re ligious rite." The people of Hayti are the descendants of negroes imported from West Africa in the old days, and their political freedom is the one great fact which bestows upon uayti tne crown or her uniqueness. There black rules white. There the law of the world Is reversed. It Is the only corner of the wide earth where the black man's color sets him on a pedestal and gives him privileges. The full-bloded African is paramourt. It is just this which makes the Haytlan negro the wonderful product he is. He has grown by himself, unadvised, uncrltlcised. unre strained, with no European to tic on his bib lor him and to teach him the amenities. The white man is his outlander. The career of the Black Republic has been distinctive and variegated, but she ias bought her experience dearly. "She is unique." said one who knew his subject. "They broke a piece of brimstone off the French terror and have kept it alicht evtr since." Can the negro rule himself? In Hayti he has had his chance, a fair I'elti and no iavor. lie has had the most fertile and beautiful of the Carlbbees for his own. he has had the advantage of cxctllent French laws, ready framed, for hi ute. lie inherited a made country, with Cape Haytien for its Paris Little Paris, as It was called. Here was a wide land, sown with prosperity a land of wood, water. towns and plantations: and in the midst ut this plenty the black man was turned loose to work out his own salvation and to prove his racial virility. That was the close of the eighteenth century; at the close of the nineteenth we may look for the result. I remember vividly the night upon which we approached Haiti. The steamer was throbbing along through the star-reflecting tjariDuean, ana i was reauing uaptaln Kenredy's book in which he describes thu cruise of H. M. S. Druid along the samo coast nearly twenty years aeo. The passages I read were these: 'These crgie3 (speaking of Voodoo) generally last three days, but often much longer. On th2 first night a priest sacrifices a cock at thr altar, the blood being drunk warm. Da nein.? then recommences. On the second night a. goat is sacrificed and the blood drunk ps before. On the third night the orgies con tinue, when a little child is brought in, tit child's throat is cut by the priest, the blood handed round and drunk warm." Turn now to another passage: "I ent asnore to ask if a salute would be returned If we fired one. I was told thy certjlr.lv would do so If we -would lend them the powder, as theirs had all been expended in firing minute guns for departed generals." Looking out at the porthole you could not

see the lonely and unllghted coast. It was

a moment, you will say, of imaginations. Yes, but for once the imaginations fell behind in the race with tho realities. COMING TO AMERICA. Great EiiRlish steel Firm Will Locate Near Wheeling, W. Va. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 21. The Commer cial Gazette to-morrow will say: "Soybold & Dickstod, of Sheffield, England, the largest manufacturers of crucible steel In Great Britain, contemplate moving their plant to the United States. A site providing excellent water and rail shipping facilities has been optioned near Wheeling, W. Va,, and it Is proposed to erect thereon a mod ern plant costing upward of $3.000.000, which. irom tne nrst. will employ about 3,500 men. The object of the move is to ret Into the American market. Constantly increasing cost or coal in Kngland is a prominent fac tor, acting as cn impetus to the move. "Charles Walker, who left the English firm twenty-two years ago to come to this country, and who is now an expert at the Dernier works of the Firth-Sterllnc Steel Company, is In receipt of an autograph let ter rrom the head of the English firm outlining the plans as given." BUYS AMERICAN HORSES. The Mexican Government Believed to Be Preparing for War. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 21. Senor Man uel Alvarez, an agent of the Mexican government, came here about two weeks ago, and since that time has purchased and shipped several carloads of saddle horses to the City of Mexico. From words dropped now and then by Senor Alvarez the Mexican government is preparing for war eitner a rebellion or a war of conquest. Alvarez will say nothing as to his real purpose In buying so many horses, but It Is a significant fact that he purchases only the very best saddle horses. The prices paid are in some cases fancy, and Senor Alvarez seems to have plenty of money. He does say that he was directed to this sec tion because of the reputation made by Wyoming and Colorado horses in the late war with Spain. He says he wants only the very best animals. IMMIGRANTS HELD UP. Over Seven Hundred on La Bretagne In a Registration Muddle. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. The entire list of steerage passengers of the French liner La Bretagne, 716 In number, were held up on the registry floor of the barge office today because it was claimed that a majority of the names were improperly manifested. No such hold-up of immigrants at the landing bureau of this port has occurred in years, if ever before. The immigrants would have been sent back to the ship had not the agent of the French line appeared in the afternoon and supplied a bond of $5,000 as a guarantee that the fines for all immigrants improperly manifested would be paid. JOHN SHERMAN. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ambition. Hayes had some idealist views and had been close pursued by Blaine's and Conkllng's men In his nomination. So he made the Treasury Department unseat the Conkllng crew in New York Cornell, Arthur, Sharp, etc. This was fatal to John Sherman's seeking the presidency, which I doubt if Hayes more than half supported. "Hayes was on the defensive while President, and did not like to have his Cabinet minister pick up the second term that Haj-es said he would never run for. Conkling was equally opposed to Blaine and Sherman, and set up Grant again, whose deadlock ended in whirling Garfield up to the nomination. From what has been published recently it would seem that Garfield had a plan to capture the convention. Sherman, I think, also imputed to Charles Foster and one or two others a second thoughtedness as to his own nomination. "Sherman was very tall and thin, with a reflective, sensible, affable face, and I think he would have made an excellent President of the United States, and that his disappointment was natural enough In seeing a parcel of young soldiers put over his head who had done so much to hold the party up and put down schisms in it. Whatever Hayes, Garfield and McKinley were, it was all contained in Sherman. "John Sherman was somewhat the victim of a'n imperfect education. His father was a judge in Ohio and had a large family, and wfcen he suddenly died of cholera these many Children had for their chief support the fatherhood in the society around them. The self-reared Thomas Ewing took Tecumseh Sherman to bring up and gave him his daughter. "These two brothers preserved their perfect individualism in all things. General Sherman was always affecting to desplso politicians and when called upon for a speech would say: 'What! Do you think I am John Sherman?' Each of them was a very good sort of American. General Sherman lived South before the war and was about half well disposed toward slavery. John Sherman began life by carrying a rod and chain on the Muskingum improvement. He paddled his way to the law and In subsequent years often regretted that he ever left his law office. I loved the law. he said, and am sorry 1 ever gave it up for politics.'

Twenty-Six Forts, 3DO Mnety-Flve-Ton Guns nnd 50,000 Gönners. Chicago Chronicle. Another German army might get into Paris as did old King William's men in 1871, but the feat would probably be much more difficult of accomplishment. The traveler who has Just returned from a visit to the Paris exposition missed a good many things probably. Here are some of them: Seven great forts about the city, eight miles away from its walls. Nineteen smaller forts four miles out, each containing three acres and mounting two nlncty-five-ton guns. Great stacks of one-hundred-pound melinite shells ready for these guns to hurl. Twenty-one miles of continuous fortification about the town earthwork walls 150 feet thick at the base and fronted by forty-five-foot moats. Three hundred emplacements along this giant wall for as many ninety-five-ton cannons kept fre from rust in the Champs de Mars arsenal and ready to be swung into place at any time. Thirteen barracks, eleven great mobilizing depots no. you may. have seec these or some of them. So cleverly are the forts' masked by long slopes of green turf and the walls by trees and bushes that one can pass In and out of Paris a dozen times and see scarcely a trace of its famous fortifications. The range of the ninety-five-ton guns is over ten miles some say fourteen. To work these guns, were every man of the garrisons drafted away, Paris has M.0u0 trained artillerymen among her reservists. She could man every gun twice over, garrison all her forts with Infantry reservists and put a dozen cavalry regiments into the field for scouting purposes. Such a performance no other city on earth could rival. The Paris railway stations have immense acreages of platform space, exclusive of arrival and departure quays, which are made long enough to receive three trains at a time. Paris has three circular railways the inner, the outer and the Grand Ceintures which form a network connecting the city and its suburbs. At every 1.0W yards along the Inner slope of the- fortifications is a three-story guardhouse. Soma 20,000 troops could thus be sheltered within call of all attackable points. These guardhouses are connected by the broad Boulevard Exterieur, which Is, of course, provided with tramways. Every reservist, whether Parisian bora or provincial immigrant, has a book containing his number, particulars of his serv ice, and a memorandum of the barrack to which he must repair upon the calling of the reserves. In case of war lines carefully maintained would be switched Into use and the tramway system would be in communication with the enormous goods depots of the Paris terminal. Not rolling stock only, but horseflesh would be requisitioned. Every horse over four years old is registered, together with his type, owner and probable utility. The general staff could choose from some 120,000 horses. There are in Paris 16,000 cabs, with three horses to a cab 43.000 mounts fairly suitable for cavalry. Add 20,0u0 tram and 'bus horses and 50.000 draught horses the balance may be taken as in private hands. The military stores of Paris are boundless. In a day she could arm and clothe 450.U00 fighting men with 70,000,000 rounds of melinite cartridges. At the army bakeries she reserves large stores of grain. In case of siege the general staff has a censorship of prices ready in the Paris municipality, which at all times fixes the price of bread and would do so of other staples. Paris has an invisible defense the submarine boats that patrol the Seine from AsrJeres and Ivry. PROTEST AGAIXST SLASH. Glrl Students Objeet to Prof. Thatcher's Free-aml-Hnsy llnRllib, Chicago Times-Herald. Professor Oliver J. Thatcher, of the mediaeval history class of the University of Chicago, is stirred tip over a rejort that he has been waited upon by a committee of young lady students with a petition requesting him to cease the use of slang in his classroom, to learn the names of his pupils and address them by their names, and to take a more respectful attitude toward the Christian religion. "I can't Imagine how or why that absurd story was started," said Professor Thatcher yesterday. "I admit that I use slang la my quizzes, but never in my lectures. Nor have I used the slang attributed to me in the papers. Whatever I have used has been up to date, at least.' In speaking of Carl the Great, Emperor of Germany, I said, in illustration of the way he had divorced his wife, that he had packed her off, which is true, and again in referring lo his letter to Pope Hadrian I. I only repeated his exact language. 'You attend to the praying, and I will c'o the rest.' That Is historical fact. I have a class of ninetytwo freshmen. I couldn't get up and teach them dead history in Addisonian English; they'd all go to leep. 1 use live talk, and I find slang very expressive. I am not the only professor here who uses It. Expressions and words that are now considered slang are found in many old works. A great deal crimes from Shakspearr, and even from the Bible. Slang, if not vulgar, is usually the cleare-st and most concle way of expressing one's self. J do not consider it a tin to us? it. As for knowing tha names of my pupils, I have, as I said before, ninety-two freshmen In my class and I have not yet hid tlmo to learn all of their names. It Is a base slander to accuse me of disrespect toward the Christian religion, as any of my pupils will tell you Old Sophie Holmes Dead. Washington Special. Sophia Holmes is dead. She was the first colored woman employed by the United States government. During Lincoln's administration Mrs. Holmes, who was born of free parents, was appointed a charwoman in the treasury. In lva, while at work one artcrnoon, the discovered a largt number of treasury nots in a waste basket. Sh Immediately recognized that a blf blunder had been made. She wrapped Ihm notes In a bundle and then sat down cn It determined to await the coming of Treasurer Spinner, It being the latter's custom to visit the treasury every night. Mrs. Holmes heard the footsteps of Mr. Spinner and shouted to him. lie hastened to her, with pistol in hand, not knowing what to expect. She handed him the monry, still in sheets, and ho was so pleased that he left a stinwing request that her position should le made one for life. He had her salary raised to n comfortable sum. On another occasion Mrs. Holmes detected a man stealing Sl'.GsM from the treasury. She caused his arre-t-t and the money was recovered. Mm Holmes was liked hy everybody in the treasury, where she wis familiarly known as ' Oi l Sophie." She wh-j married to Melchoir Holt ui-, a slave. She was frugal and saved enough tuonty to pay for his fretioo.
