THE CoRREsPoNENoE BETWEEN THE
representatives Of this government and the
French authorities in reference to the en-
forced military service by France of natur-
allied American citizens of French birth,
or American-born citizens of French par
entage, has been laid before the Senate.
The contention of the French Minister is
that under French principles citizenship
is conferred by parentage and not by place
Of birth, and that expatriation of the French
citizen requires the consent of the French
Government. Mr.. Bayard held, on to the
contrary, that the decree of naturalization
granted by the United States to a French
citizen is not open to impeachment By the
French Government, either in its execu-
tive or Its judicial branch, and that it can.
not be admitted that American citizens,
not charged with any crime should be de-
tained single day after their proofs Of
citizenship have been presented.

FREE WOOL.

Not long ago the Democrats were busily
explaining that the wooden manufacturers of
New England desired foreign wool admitted
free of duty But these manufacturers know
better what they want than their Democratic
friends do. Mr.. q. G. Judd of Hartford, of
the firm of n: G. Judd & Root, says: The
.woOlen manufacturers are practically unani-
nous in their opposition to the Mills bill.
They do not ask for free wool; they do not
want free wool The wool growers, woolen
manufacturers and wool dealers met in con-
vention and were unanimous IN recommend
ing not only that present duties on wool and
woolens should be retained, but that certain
inequalities should be remedied and that
present duties should be advanced.
And General Dwight, of the firm of Dwight,
Skinner & Co., Hartford, says:
If the Mills bill should become law the
wool-sceuring works in this country probably
would at once be closed and all that work be
done in Europe where there are similar ess
tablishments. Nothing but the present duty
of thirty cents pound on secured wool en-
ables them to maintain their present Ameri-
can works, owing to the monstrous difference
in wages. For instance, in Europe wages are
forty cents q day; at Windsor Locks for the
same work man is paid 1.90 day. This
immense difference is only possible by reason
of the tariff and the difference is still greater
higher up in the line of skill. The foreman
who has charge of the work in Europe gets
sixty cents day, say $16 month; the fore
man who has the same duties at Windsor
Locks gets 500 month";
Indeed the wooden industry is to-day large
ly paralyzed by the situation. Since the
Presidents message appeared the price OF
wool has fallen 20 per cent. His attack on
that industry was q signal for complete
change in the trade. Orders for goods fell
off at the mills, the mill people bought only
from hand to mouth becease of their scani
orders, and great disturbance has resulted
although the bill is not, and not likely to be-
come q law. 1t is still a most significant
threat.
Should the Mills bill pass and its inevitable
consequences ensue this country would be
plunged into an industrial and social rsvolu-
tion. Wages would have to come down to
| the European level. That is the only place
| the new economies could be exercised, and
everything would have to be readjusted to
the forty cents day basis of living or the
mills close
Other wool manufacturers of New England
talk the came way. And it is fair to presume
that they know what they are talking about
o7en if their task doesn't please the free

Banking M MethO dS In sts Louis.
From the Chicago Mail


They are doing business on the same old
plan in St. Louis to-day that was in vogue
there when the French squatted down on the
leves. A Chicago lady, who was there recent
ly, relates the following:
fI went into one of the banks and told
the gentlemen at the window that wanted
to buy draft. He asked me If had any
one to identify me. Thinking he had mis-
understood me laid down my money and
said: Il presume that is sufficient identifi-
cation He said it wasn't. then repeated
that wished to buy q draft, not get one
cashsd. He said he understood me quite,
and begged leave to assure me that I must be
identified before could get what wanted.
I asked him if that wasn't something unusual.
he said it was one of the early onstoms of
banking in st. Louis, and they had to keep
it up. st. Louis people were accustomed to
it, and it wouldn't do to try and put up any
new tricks on them"
This reminded my informant of something
that had also occurred in st. Louis An old
and very wealthy man of the town. whose
constant companion was white and black
dog, had been in the habit of coming to the
Sub-Treasury at certain periods for the pur-
pose of getting coupons of his bonds Dashed.
One day he presented himself for that pur-
pose and the cashier Esfused to give him the
money. The old man demanded to know
why.
''I don't know you," said the cashier.
"But have been here before and never
was denied, !" the man answered.
The cashier looked at him moment and
then said: "Where is your black and white
dog that always comes with you. if you are
the same man4'
The old mans eyes filed with tears as he
told the cashier that the dog was dead.
'fWen," replied the cashier, ST am sorry
to hear that, but you'll have to bring some
body here to identify you now. don't know
you without the dog"

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL CouRIxR:
1t would be difficult to tell how many
thousand rich, good or prstentious people
now annually pass portion of each summer
on Mount Desert Island, about Bar Harbor
and Somesville and on Deer Island in glori-
ous Frenohmsn's and Penobscot bays. It
would not be difficult to estimate how few of
these ever gave the history and traditionary
lore of the region q moments thought.
Aside from Mount Desert Island with its one
hundred square miles of area, Stave, Bartlett,
Long, Swans, little and great Cranberry,
Placentia, great and little Deer, Fox and
Marshall islands, all of important dimen-
sions, there are over two hundred lesser is
lands, varying in appearance and size from
the dark red, craggy, srewsome reef to that
of the verdure-clad, sunny and picturesque
bit of sea-girt earth, where live from one to
dozen families of water-side folk, as there
did dozen generations before them.

ancestor in the cause of German unity.


While alcohol does not seem to have pro-
duced any racial deterioration in white races,
says the London Hospital, .sor rather in the
Indo-Germanic family, it acts differently up
on Asiatic and dark races. Alcohol in any
quantity seems to set most Asiatics the
Jews are an exeeption-on fire, to produce
an irresistible craving for more and to COM
pei them to go on drinking until they are
sunk In stupor of intoxication. They ap-
pear to delight but little in the sxhilaration
produced by partial inebriety, and to seek
always total release from consciousness and
its expressions. The condition of dead
drunkenness,' which few even of drinking
northerners enjoy, Is to them delightful. &
no drinkee for drinkee, said the Madras
man; 4 drinkee for drunkee.' Alcohol Is,
therefore, to such races an intolerable evil,
and its consumption by them is, in the eyes
of all strict moralists, an immortality"

complished. Jean Mernas artfully avails
himself of this knowledge to serve selfish
purpose.
An old paralytic, for whom he was per-
forming some clerical work, lived at Vsr-
satlles in a retired street with his servants.
One day after his work the old man asked
Jean Mornas to take from his bookcase an
atlas. This atlas was filled with bank-notea;
from those he paid Jean Mornas his months
salary. The sight of so much money excited
the oupidity of Jean Mornas. After leaving
his patron all his thoughts were upon the
old mans money and how he might obtain q
portion of this, to him great wealth, and
with which he could be able to marry his
fancee and be raised from poverty to affiu-
ence. He decides to employ the young girl
as the safer plan, she being more likely to
escape detection than himself.
He accordingly hypnoti1ed her, giving
O certain train, to such q number on a cer~
tain street, with note from him for the
master Of the house, the old paralytic; to give
the latter the note, and while he was reading
II to open the bookcase at q certain place,
take from 1t an atlas and abstract as many
bank-notes as possible, which she was to put
In portfolio, the latter having been placed
in her hand; then to leave the house without
attracting the attention of the servants, who
were at some distance from the room and
could only be made to hear by means of a
speaking tube placed near the invalid, which
tube she was 10 take the preeaution to place
out of reach on entering the room. She was
TO carry the portfolio to her lovers residence;
Rue Racine.
Every detail of the suggestion was carried
out; but as she was taking the bank-notss
from the atlas the invalid, by strong effort,
got out of his bed and seized the girl. To
extricate herself she pushed him away. He
fell heavily to the floor, and as the sequel
proved the fall killed hina. By means of an
envelope which she dropped at the depot at
Versailles on her return her address was dis
covered. The next day she was arrested and
when questioned at the Prefecture Of Pelioe
she admitted having taken the money, which
she said was restitution, her lover having
thus explained to her the theft. The physi-
clan of the prefecture and her old family
doctor went with her to the scene of the
crime, in the same room, and when hypno-
tized and questioned whether anyone had
told her to do what she did she at first re-
fused to answer, then said there was some
one. A man or womaui A man. His
namei No answer. Finally, after number
Of experiments, she gave the name of Jean

the trial had left Paris, and when the order
for his arrest arrived he was already beyond
the clutches of the law, having shot himself

One of the weekly business and mechanical
reviews, Wade's Fibre and Fabric, says: As
far as correspondence and observation reach,
there will be more Democrats vote the Re
publican ticket this year than ever before,
and there can be but little question about the
result. The Mills bill can never become a
law in form to menace our industries. The
principle of protection to the extent of pro-
tecting can never be done away with, and the
party will die that attempts it.
