The death of GAMBETrA has developed
French sentiment. France didn't want TO
hight Germany unless she can come out
victorious, but the tone of the French press
indicates II disappointment of tho Gallo
mind in the loss of leader in the unsettled
trouble over Olsace and Sorraim. He sin
cerely regretted the pending difficulty, and
would prefer tho matter relcgated to the
people OF those two provinces on the sub
mitted question as to which flag they
should live under, This, however is only
the American view OF the question, and rs
voting In trans Atlantic country does not
amount to much, and there happens to be
no statute law for ordering elections, our
wishes as to popular expression are not
likely to be fratitied. The Frcnchman in
America can freely expresses himself. From
the bottom OF his soul he wants to fight and
overlastingly crush Germany on the field of
battle, even as the great NAPOLEON did half
century since. The German can and does

the Office proper receipts we're mailed and

In case OF drafts upon private bankers, il
was Marston's custom 10 get the money for
them and pocket IT, taking an amount in

he took rs much as $1,000 at time. lie
had control of the books containing
a list of the checks and
drafts, and managed to conceal
his entertainments, until finding his dis-
covery inevitable, ran away. The COM
pany has submitted the case 10 the district
attorney, and it is supposed Marston will
be indicted and arrested As soon as he can
be caught. Marston entered the Equitable
