that in the consulting room, adjoining the

French citizenship.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IA
commpnication has been received ut the
Department Of State from Minister Reid,
enclosing the copy Of new law on French
nationality.
Under the provisions Of this act tho son
of a naturalized French American who
happens to be born in France is French
the son OF q Frenchman born in the United
States is French, and as the law is silent
as to any Limitation in this respect, there
may be according to this doctrine many
generations Of Frenchmen born in the
United States
The naturalization abroad Of French
man who has not complied with the mill
tary laws is void unless he has before Sc
cured an authorization from his govern
mert. Native Americans Of French parent
age are not, therefore, Americans In the
eye of the new statute, and they are liable
to military service in Franco.
With reference to the right Of being
domiciled in France, the new law states
that all permissions given heretofore to
that effect will expire in five years from
the date of tho present law, and will not
be renewed in favor Of those who within
that period have not applied for naturali-
zation.
This stipulation affects seriously all
Americans doing business Of any kind in
France.

E. Allison, young girl Of Is, was found
dead in her bed Tuesday morning by her
sister, years Of age, who failed to notify
the neighbors Of the fact, although friends
were living not thousand feet away. The
young lady's parents were gone from home
on visit. On Wednesday a neighbor
called and the younger girl told him her
sister was dead; "but don't tell any one
until pa comes home" Physicians who
examined the body found that q most hor-
rible crime had been first committed, and
the fiend had added murder by deliberately
choking his victim. From the testimony il
was developed that the younger sister was
threatened with death If she gave an alarm,
and was terror-stricken. Officers are work
