PARIS, June 2l.-A powerful Bona
partist intrigue has been disclosed here
today which has been in progress. it is
said, for many months past and has
found a potent countenance in the army.
The war-like proclamation of the young
German emperor William, while he has
as yet his foot only on the lowest step Of
the throne which his father never ascend
ed, has alarmed not only France but
all Europe. His singular address to the
German people marked by SO decisive a
military coloring it is agreed here will
necessarily summon the nations of Eu-
rope to arms, and indications are already
manifest that his naughty manifesto and
challenge has not been UNDECIDED. 1t is
believed that a military era would set in
by the Napoleonic restoration and that
all the lost glories of France
would be recovered should
another European war break out in
which France would De on the defensive
rather than the aggressive. King Hum
bert, OF Italy, frowns upon the Napo-
leonic movement. His nephew, Victor,
is the lineQl successor to the imperial
throne Of France. but King Humbert is
more friendly with the German imperial
family than he is with his brother in law,
Prince jerome Napoleon, young Victor's
father.

That providYce intends the profession
OF reporters to have a mighty share in the
wor'fs redemption is suggested by the
fact that Paul ana Christ took a reporter
along with them and he reported their
addresses and reported their acts. Luke
was q reporter and he wrote not only the
book of Luke but the Acts Of the
Apostles, and without that reporters
work we would have known nothing Of
the pentccost, and nothing Of Stephens
martyrdom, and nothing of Tabitha's
resurrection, and nothing of the falling
and unjailing Of Paul and Silas, and moth
ing of The shipwreck at Mclita. Strike
out the reporters work from the bible
and YOU kill "A large part of the new

Tobacco Chcwcrs Decreasing.

New York Press: When the elder
Charles Dickens was in this country on
his first visit there was no one Of the
American habits which called forth from
the great novelist more condemnation
than the one Of chewing tobacco.
But times change, and national AS well
as personal habits change with them.
America is no longer a nation Of tobacco
chewers, and that manner Of using to-
bacco is gradually but surely passing
away.
Every tobacconist recognizes the great
change that is taking place in what in one
sense may be termed the public taste. A
tobacco dealer whose trade is not eX-
clusiyely among sailors, says that he does
not sell Oncr-half as much chewing to-
bacco today as he did ten years ago, and
not more than one-third as much rs
twenty years ago.
The falling of in the use of chewing
tobacco is a great lea more apparent
here in the east than it is the south and
west, but il is noticeable everywhere.
One cause for the decadcnce of the habit
is undoubtedly due to the growth of pub
lie opinion that it is an uncleanly habit.
1t is hard. also, for IA man addicted to the
habit TO keep from showing evidences OF
it on his clothes and person.
But the principal causes are right
here. There is a great deal more dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble in the III
try now than there used to be, and no
person with a weak stomach can chew to-
bacco. The action Of the tobacco juice,
which trickles down the throat OF a
chewer, is to paralyze the action of the
stomach. 1t will accomplish that long
before tobacco smoke will leave any per.
ceptible effect upon the lungs. Then,
again, the cigarette has done "A great deaI
to put an end to the chewing habit.
The growth Of the cigarette practice
in this country is and has been phenome
nal. The consumption Of cigarettes has
multiplied many times during the las
fifteen years. About seven out of every
ten boys now growing up smoke cigar
cites. After boy has smoked cigarettes
for a few years he not only has no taste
for tobacco in any other form, or he has
no stomach or constitution left to stanG
chewing tobacco.
The suifcringS which an invcterate
tobacco chcwer endurcs when he first de
prives himself Of his accustomed weed
are popularity supposed To be almost in
tolerable. Some ex-chewcrssay they are,
while others maintain that they are moth
ing which a resolute will and il clear hcac
cannot master. All agree, however, thai
they have 10 use some substitute ut first

Major Pilkenton was elected chairman
OF the meeting, and E. d. Wheeler, score
tary..
The chairman called upon Mr.. Tilton
to state the object of the meeting, and to
read the letter which he had received
from Logan. Mr.. Tilton responded, and
the contents Of the letter proved to be an
invitation from the citizens of Logan to
join with them and Hill City and other
points along the proposed line in making
an effort to induce the Rock Island to
build the road on the line suggested, and
asking that committee be appointed to
meet the railroad officials at Topeka to
confer with them.
The following gentlemen were then
called upon to express their sentiments on
on the subject: F. Danford, Judge
Osborn, w. s. Tilton and Major Pilken-
ton. All spoke enthusiastically of the
Rock Island road as competing line, and
recommended that we make a vigorous
effort to secure the proposed line, which
would give us direct communication with
Chicago, st. Joseph, the coal fields of the
southwest, its direction being such that it
would give US connection, not only with
all of the main lines in the state, but
with the Pan Handle and other points in
Texas, thus securing an entry into the
pineries of Arkansas and other Southern
state.
A motion was made and carried that
