French Omcers Dread to Tackle the Amer
ican Revolver.
PAR1s, May 4.-The release of Marquis de
Mores from arrest for melting laborers to
riot is due to the influence of friends.
As a candidate for seat in the municipal
council the marquis had electoral Offices in
the Rue Saints Anne, whittier NJ. Dulao, po-
lice commissary, repaired to make the per-
QUESTION. Quite posse of detectives were
detailed of to put the warrant into operation.
The marquis has acquired, from his long resi-
dence in the United States, the pernicious
habit of carrying at least one, if not more,
six-chambered revolvers about his person,
with redoubtable proficiency in the use of
his weapons. At in the evening De
Mores returned home to the Rue Yilsitt.
Suddenly, within few PAGES of the ex-
pectant group of mouohards. tho Marquis
came to a halt and, divining their purpose,
turned his heels and made of in the oppo-
site direction.
Overioved that there were no revolver
muzzles to face, but only o fugitive to pur.
sue, the detectives bounded after theiI
quarry. Along the Rue Tilsitt and down
the Champs Elysees, which was at the time
turning from the Bois, went the marquis
and his pursuers. As the latter gained
steadily on him, NJ. De Mores finally de-
cided to surrender, and was arrested and
taken to the Rue Berryer police station,
whence, after q long cross-examination, he
was transferred to cell in the depot.
Rumor has it that the police found in
eliminating literature in the marquis
rooms, melting to murder and pillage.

WARRINGTON, May 4.-[special.]- THE
eastern papers have revived the story that
Russell Harrison, of Montana, is employed
as counsel for the Louisiana Lottery COM
pany to use his influence in preventing Leg
islation hostile to the company. This story
has been passed around from time to time
and it has been said that since the failure
of the company to get foothold in North
Dakota, it had its evil eye on Montana.
Mr.. Harrison's connection with the con-
Germ is emphatically denied by Mr.. T. H.
Kock, of New York, secretary of the New
York Jockey club, and q warm friend of
John A. Morris. attorney of the lottery
company. ''You can say" concluded Mr..
Kock, 'from me personally and put it as

A number of matters Of general imp port-
ance have been assigned for consideration
in the senate this week. Bills for the
admission of Idaho and Wyoming are un-
finished business till Wednesday when
JONES' silver bill will be made special

admission bills will likely go over. Two
things may prevent the consideration of the
silver bill-a caucus to be held before We'd
nesday or the reporting of army and PEN
sion bills. The silver bill. therefore, may 90
over. The Dingley worsted cloths bill
will also likely come up, and the
the program by causing an adjournment to-
morrow. His death will also disarrange
proceedings in the house, rs the adjourn
ment of that body ia expected on the receipt
of official notice from the senate. This
will retard the river and harbor bill, man.
ayers of which expected to push it through

The tariff bill. according to the program,
will be taken up Tuesday. A general de-

bill will be discussed by sections and sub.

The Young Man Of To-Day.

There are ten articles written on "the
modern young woman" where there is one
that treats of the modern young man, says
the Ladies' Home journal. To criticise the
little weaknesses of young women becomes
to many writers so absorbing a topic as to
completely shut out from view the fact that
the "modern young man. affords IN equal
abundance of material for tie critical seal
pei. The absurdity of modern fashions
for young women is universal cry, but
only here and there is a protest made at the
through our princlual avenues and streets.
The cry is that the modern young
woman is shallow in conversation, with
all her thoughts centered on her apparel.
Without stopping to argue the falheness of
this charge, let me ask: Is the young man
Is he so studious, so scholarly in his con-

pleasure less marked in scores and hun
dreds of cases? 1t is well sometimes to
criticize the critic.
The young men have been most properly
called the flowers of a country. AS is the
youth of the present day, SO will be the
man of the future. In our country, young
men are undoubtedly more and more es-
tablishing themselves at the head of COM
mercial interests and in the high places of
all professions, until one is at times amazed
| to find the responsibilities of great COM
mercial and professional enterprises resting
upon youthful shoulders, and propelled by
young ideas and brains. 1t is highly credit
able to the young manhood of America that
these instances of ambitious progress can
be found; yet these cases are still IN the
minority; whereas, with modern energy and

largely in the majority
Take the average Young man of to-day

FIRST BLOOD FOR STRIKERS.

They Win i'm the First Struggle to Reduce
Wages.
BUTTE, Mont, May 4.--[Speoial.-Th
strike inaugurated by laboring men of this
city, Yesterday, against the reduction Of
wages from $3 per day to the old standard,
has been gaining in every way to-day. A.
mass meeting was held in Sloan's boiler
shop tonight and was attended by fully ECO
workingmen. Great enthusiasm was dis
played and all joined in pledging support to
the strikers in their efforts to maintain the
standard of wages in Butte. Apetition was
circulated, and in a few minutes had OBJ
tanned an army of signatures that will carry
great weight in all future delibera-
tions. The announcement that the
contractor on the Cobban building,
against whom the strike was first
made had agreed to pay the $3 demanded
commencing with Tuesday was received
with cheers and was regarded as the first
victory in the fight. Contractor Parsons,
who has work Oh the new gas works, has
shut down to await action of other con-
tractors, while Contractor King, the other
man most directly interested, has not re-
piled as yet to the demands of the strikers.
On the whole the men feel that they havo
advanced great step in the work they have
in hand and are correspondently jubilant
tonight. They do not propose to quit
here, however, but will keep up their de-
cided front until every contractor in tho
city has accepted their terms. 10 that end
another mass meeting will be held in the
morning and still another tomorrow even-
ing and the men are now confident of hav-
ing the difficulty settled by that time. The
men have conducted themselves in most
orderly manner and propose to leave no
room open for criticism.

When the Boys Went Swimming.

wonder what sign the boys who read
this have for challenging or inviting one
another to go in swimming. The boys in
swimming with both arms; or they held up
the fore finger and the middle finger in the
form of swallow tail; they did this when
it was necessary to be secret about it, as in
school, and when they did not want the
ten when they just pretended they did not
want some one to know. They really had
to be secret at times, for some of the boys
were not allowed to go in at all; others
were forbidden to 90 in more than once or
twice day; and as they all had to go in at
some sort of sign had to be used that
was understood among themselves alone.
Since this is a true history, l had better
own that they nearly all. at one time OF 9TH
er, must have told lies about it, either be-
fore or after the fact, some habitually, some
only in great extremity. Here and there
boy, like boys elder brother, would not
tell lies at a II, even about going in swim
ming; but by far the greater number bowed
to their hard fate, and told them. They
promised that they would not go in, and
then they said that they had not been
made this sacrifice, was apt to betray
them. Either they got their shirts on wrong
side out in dressing, or else, while they were
in, some enemy came upon them and tied
their shirts. There are few cruelties which
public opinion in the boys world condemns,
but am glad to remember, to their honor,
that there were not many in that Boys
Town who would tie shirts, and fervently
hope that there is no boy now living who
would do it. AS crime is probably ex-
tinct. will say that in those wicked days.
if you were such miscreant, and there
was some boy you hated, you stole up and
tied the hardest kind of knot in one arm
or in both arms of his shirt. Then if the
evil one put it into your heart, you soaked
the knot in water and pounded it with a
stone.
l am glad to know that in the days when
he was thoughtless and senseAess enough,
my boy was never guilty of any degree of
this meanness. It was his brother, sup
pose, who taught him to abhor it; and per
haps it was his own suffering from it in
part; for he too sometimes shed bitter tears
over such knot. as I have seen hapless
little wretches do. tearing ct It with their
nails and gnawing at it with their teeth,
knowing that the time was passing when
they could hope to hide the fact that they
had been in swimming, and foreseeing nc
remedy but to cut OF the sleeve above the
knot, or else put on their clothes without
the shirt. and trust to untying the knot
