Boulanger's proposition to return to France
and present himself for trial before court
martial is probably nothing more than an
attempt to rescue himself from the obscurity
which has been growing deeper ever since
the French elections showed that he had but
avery small following among the French
people. To be let severely alone is the
worst misfortune that can befall man of
the Boulanger stamp, and that is what has
been happening to him Of late, and what he
hopes to arrest by his latest proclamation.

The responsibility of vetoing or signing
the Saxton ballot reform bill recently passed
by the New York legislature belongs to the
Governor, and there it ought to be left. He
can ask the Attorney General for an opin-
ion as to its constitutionality, AID he also
has as much legal authority to go to the
Court of Appeals on such mission as has
the legislature. The legislature have passed
bill which they believe to be in accordance
with the constitution. 1t would be absurd
on their part now. after the event, to ask the
court If it was unconstitutional. 1t would OBJ
viously amount to an expression of distrust
in the correctness of their own work. If
Hill is satisfed,.as he says he is, that the
bill is unconstitutional, then his proper
course is to veto it. If he has doubts on
this point, then he has the power to get ad-
vice in regard to it. The legislature COM
pleted their work when it passed the bill
Now let the Governor complete his.

In deciding to dispense with class day and
all other social festivities at graduation. the
Dartmouth seniors show an asceticism that
is rather remarkable in college students.
The abolition of class day at Harvard would
create social cataclysm that it would be
difficult for the average student at Cambridge
to survive. They would sooner abolish the

A CUSTOM UNION.
The Pan-American Congress Di-
vided on the Subject.
Majority and Minority Reports
Submitted.

The Former Recommends the Rejection
of the Whole Subject and Gives Its
Reasons for So Doing-Radical Changes
in the Nations Respective Conrtitu-
tions Would BE Necessary.
NEW YORK, March 6.-The Pan Amer
lean conference has finally adopted the
report of the committee on international
law.
Majority and minority reports were
made by the committee on custom union.
The majority say that the establishment
of custom union, as generally under
stood, would require not only a partial
sacrifice of the National sovereignty OF
the American nations, but more radical
changes in their respective constitutions
than they are willing to accept.
The majority therefore deems the
adoption of a customs union as impracti-
cable. They propose to recommend,
however, to such of the governments as
may desire partial reciprocity, 10
make commercial treaties, with one or
more of the American countries under
such basis as may be accepted u each
case.
The minority report recommends the
rejection of the whole subject,

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 6.-Monday
morning about 3 o'clock, Miss Alice
Kinney, 10 years of age, who, with her
mother, lives alone on farm in Samp-
son county, was aroused by the noise of
some one in an ad Looming room. She at
once realized that burglar was in the
house. She took a revolver from under
her pillow and, holding it in her hand,
concealed it under the quilt. Then she
lay as if asleep, and when the burglar
entered the room he walked up to the
bed, and concluding that the young
woman was sleeping soundly began
looking about the room,
AS he turned away from her she heard
him whisper to HIMSELF "She is purity,
and guess I'll hab to see her later.
When he turned his face Miss Kinney
raised herself in bed, took aim at the
mans head and fired. Instantly the
burglar whirled around, and as he did so
she fired, and he then fell to the floor
with groan. He died in about five
minutes. The alarm was then given,
and a crowd gathered at the house. The
burglar proved to be Sam. Kearns, a ne
gro who has given much trouble,

Nebraska Farmers Become EnamOred of
Each Others Wives and Exchange.
SIDNEY, Neb., March > A swap that
was something out of the ordinary was
made by two farmers living near Sidney
a few days ago, but the details have just
become public j. II. Fox and |. Schad
were neighbors in Cotton precinct Both
were young married men, and Schad
had one child. The latter was consider
ed by the good people of Cotton an ex-
emplary young man. He taught the
district school, was superintendent of
the Sunday school, an exhorter in the
Universalist church, and, above all, a
dyed-in-the wool Spiritualist, His wife
was young and pretty.
Fox was and is simply farmer He,
too, was the possessor of an attractive
wife. The two families became intimate,
and it developed in time that Mr. Schad
and Mrs. Fox had become enamored of
each other and that similar state of
affairs existed between Mr.. Fox and Mrs
Schad. The four became acquainted
with each others feelings, and finally
the two men struck a bargain and
swapped wives. Schad bade his wife an
affectionate adieu, kissed his little one
good-by, loaded Mrs. Fox into neigh
boris wagon and together they were
driven to Crook, station on the Color
ado division of the Union Pacific, and
then took passage for Denver Fox and
Mrs. Schad and the latter's child re-
mained ut Cotton.
