The etiquette of French law must
sometimes take the flavor of an I'M
welcome surprise to lately exported
brides, Not long ago the countess de
LII Forest Devonne, e Florence
Audenreid, of Washington, was driv.
ing in the Boies de Boulogne with her
cousin Mrs. Harrison Gamer, another
bride from Philadelphia, when her
horses suddenly took fright and ran
away without hurting anybody seri-
ously or doing ~perceptible damage.
With characteristic promptness, how
ever, a government official called and
laid before the countess a bill for dam
ages. The official document stated
that some injury had been done to the
bark of the trees and some little con.
fusion Of roadway and bordering grass
had been caused by her horses. Well,
this seemed rather amusing to an
American, but when bills for damages
to five different carriages came in one
after another the countess began to
get anxious, and consulted her check
book with u growing interest and much
wonderment rs to whether there would
be enough left of her yearly income
for necessary expenses. Furthermore,
she has no idea when the demand win
stop or how many more ancient and
6ecrepit vehicles will come out as good
rs new at her expense. Chicago News.
sB-The republican campaign in
Ohio is progressing swimmingly. Nc
Kinley is holding daily meetings,
which are enormously attended, and at
which the enthusiasm is very great.
Other speakers are rapidly coming into
the field, and soon the boom of the big
guns will be reinforced by the rattle OF
musketry all along the line; but it does
not follow that any republican is there
by justified in relaxing his vigilance
and letting things drift. On the CON
trary, this should be an incentive to
still greater activity. The effort should
be, not only to elect Mckinley and the
whole state ticket, the legislative and
county tickets, but to make the major
tiles for each and ell of the candidates
