CHICAGO, Feb. l8.-The Times says a
revolutionary movement is contemplated
by the various roads entering Chicago.
The Chicago & Northwestern estimates
that to elevate the 100 miles of surface
tracks which it owns in the city will cost
sos, 600. There are nearly 1900 miles of
surface track In Chicago proper and on
this basis the cost of complete elevation
would run into figures somewhere between
5000, 600, 600 and 5000. 600, 900. or nearly
twice the amount it would cost to dupli-
cate the Atchison system. which with its
10000 miles OF main lines. is the greatest
railroad in the world. Under the pro-
posed plan the Chicago & Northwestern's
passengers will get off at West Eigbtieth
street and passengers would be obliged to
use cable cars, L road trains or other means
OF local transportation to reach the city.
In the case OF a passenger arriving at
Chicago on the Northwestern and bound
to some point farther east or south, a
transfer train on the belt line would take
him at once to his proper depot. 1t is
proposed to sell all railroad property 10
the city limits aud it is believed that the
amount 80 realized will build the belt
line. all new depots and pay all expenses
attending the change and then leave a
surplus of more than $40. 0O0, 900 in the
aggregate. Behind the scheme are all
the Vanderbilt roads, including the CHI
sage q Northwestern and such companies.
The motive for this radical departure IS
the agitation resulting from the daily
horrors at grade crossings. the loss being
in the aggregate appalling.

KICK OFF THE HARNESS.
ALI French Cabinet Ministers
Resign Their Portfolios.
They Had a Rupture With the
Assembly Members.
Defeated Ministerial Motions
Caused the Trouble.
French ministers Resign.

PARIS, Feb. IS.-All members of the
French ministry rendered their resigna-
ton to President Carnot today. The
cause of the resignation of the ministry
was the action of the chamber of dep
uties in connection with a bill dealing
with associations. This afternoon Hub
bard demanded urgency for the bill as a
reply to the attitude of the French bish-
ops. Cassaxnac described the bill as an
iniduitous measure.
Premier de Freyoint denied the meas
ure was intended as an act of persecution
of the church or that it may be regarded
precursor of separation of church and
state, he warmly commended the concilia-
tory spirit of the pope and added he
would doubtless be called upon some day
to treat with the vatican on a religious
question. A portion of the clergy may
possibly refuse to enter upon the path
pointed out to them but universal suffrage
will judge between the two policies.
In conclusion Freycinet gave assent to
the demands for urgency, though he said
that would not give the measure the
significance of Hubbards motion. Finally
Freycinet again rose and demanded the
order of the day be moved Indicating the
views of the chamber on the subject. In
accordance Boisserin moved the govern
ment be requested to continue its repub-
lican policy. Freycinet accepted the
motion and intimated he considered it a
cabinet question. A vote of the chamber
being taken, Boisserin's motion was
rejected 304 to 202. The ministers,
recognizing their defeat. Immediately left
the house 10 a body. The chamber then
rejected the urgency motion By a vote
of 2S6 to 24O

A rich man holds his wealth simply as
a trustee between his Maker and human
ity. Unless he wants to become the
slaveo of his money he must give it free
ly until he feels that there is some sacri-
flee in the giving. My observation for a
great many years has led me to nave a
strong opinion on that subject. 1t is for
the good of the man himself that he
should look at the subject from this
point of view. do not believe there is
much philanthropy or charity in provid-
ing that your money shall be given after
death, when you are unable to hold it.
Better give of your means as you go
along through life, leaving of your
wealth to others who after you will, in
the exercise of their stewardship, follow
the same course.-D. Willis James in
New York Independent.

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe. requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
etfec.ually counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia. pro.
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur
ing the epidemics of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case that
has not recovered or that has resulted in
pneumonia. Fifty cen and 81 bottles for

to measures which would give free silver

to measures which would give free silver
to the country.
He denounced 1t as unfair and unbe-
coming the dignity of a member. Harter
admitted the authorship of the circular
letter. To the men who were afraid to
have an expression Of their opinions
made public such q circular might seem
to be bulldozing. He was not a million
aire nor was he the owner of a national
bank. He was more of a farmer than
the gentleman from Missouri.
He was as much opposed to giving the
silver bullion producers the earnings of
the people as he was to giving them to
the manufacturers. If the free coinage
bill passed it would elect Benjamin Har-
rison for . second term, and this would be
done by the Democratic house under the
leadership Of the gentleman from Mis-
souri,. He would like to pay the mem
bers of congress with a seventy cent dollar
and see how they would like it. If any
thing should be made legal tender it
should be the corn OF Kansas and not the
silver OF Colorado.
Bland had Harter's biography, as pub
lIshed in the congressional directory. read
in order to show his business life was
spent as a banker and manufacturer.
DuNtT WAS tutu ihiu dSiuc aud a. Sob-
sideration of the Indian bill resumed.
Smith of Arizona criticized some of its
features, especially the appropriation for
the Carlisle school. The bill was gener-
ally discussed until adjournment.
The secretary of tho treasury has writ
ten a letter to the speaker of the house in
esponse to the resolution calling on him
for information whether at any time since
the Al per cent bonds became due there
had peer sufficient funds IN the treasury
to pay the same and if so by what au-
thority he assumed to continue any Of
such bonds at 2 per cent interest and why
the same was not all paid at the time said
bonds were due.
The secretary says AZ per cent bonds
are redeemable at the pleasure OF the
United States on three months notice to
the holders. he shows there were sufi-
cient funds in the treasury to pay out
standing bonds. but says it wa deemed
prudent and profitable to the government
to continue a portion of them. and the
authority under which the bonds were
permitted to continue is contained in the
act which authorized their issue. The
secretary calls attention to the fact that
the forty-seventh congress approved the
continuance OF the 5 and 6 per cent bonds
at 3 per cent.

1t is noticeable that at the luncheon
rooms of the several woman's ex
changes, as well as at several of the res
taurants in the shopping districts, broken
orders are possible. This is especially
true of the menus of the exchanges,
which are managed by women solely
for women. 1t is n concession to an &C.
cepted fact that women ordering and
eating alone greatly dislike to pay for a
mouthfpl more than can be consumed.

The difference between the Chicago
and the New York girl is the difference
between the s%weetbriar and the orchid.
One is a bit of nature, the other the per-
lection of Horticulture. There's an odor
n a freshness and a willful little sting
o the sweetbriar which are mex
pressibiy charming and refreshing.
There is a velvety polish, a patrician
softness and a big, big price about the
orchid which no other flower possesses.
One has the tang of the prairie, the other
the atmosphere Of the hothouse.

WASHINGTON. Feb. l8.-The Graud
Army of the Republic has not infre-
quently been accused Of being used to
subserve partisan ends. but today a grave
charge of seeking to divide the party
against itself was preferred against this
great organization in the house. Bland,
the free coinage leader, was the accuser
and Harter, a free trader and anti free
coinage Democrat from Ohio, was the
gentleman charged with attempting to
subvert the Grand Army OF the Republic
to the interests of capitalists and monopo.
lists.
During the course OF the general
debate on the Indian appropriation
bill Bland seht to the clerks desk
and had read a circular letter written by
Harter to various Grand Army posts 10
denunciation of the free silver bill and
advising the members of the posts to
urge their congressman to vote against it,
as 1t would prove detrimental to the
interests of the pensioners. This circu-
lar Bland characterized as a bull DOING
document. 1t was an effort to intmidate
members and as a part of the bull DOING
tactics and the millionaire tactics which
had always been carried ON in opposition

Shot His wife's Lover.

GENNEs, Feb. 1S.-The most intense
excitement WAS caused IN a large Ameri-
can colony today by the announcement
that n of the most prominent visitors at
the place. Edward Parker Deacon, a
native of the United States, had shot and
killed a Frenchman connected with the
diplomatic service, named Ambeille. The
story is an old one. A handsome woman
mated to the man who she betraYs, for
getting in her infatuation or fancy for
another man, of bringing shame and SOL
row upon her family.
Deacon and his wife have been
soiourning sometime past at the Hotel
Spledide, with their four children. For
a time Deacon has suspected his wife
was unduly intimate with Arbeille, and
kept a close watch. Last night he dis
covered Arbeille in his wife's chamber.
He summoned the secretary of the hotel
and together they went to Mrs. Deacon's
Deacon was alone. but the husband pro-
ceeded to the adjoining room and there
discovered Arbeille attempting to hide
himself behind a chair. Deacon leveled
his revolver at the man and fired three
shots. fatally wounding the Frenchman.
Deacon was ut once arrested but it Is the
general opinion among the American res
idents here that he did lust the right
thing"
When Deacon burst into the bedroom
he found, the story has it. his wife in
bed. and Mabeille standing by her bed
side, evidently having sprung put of bed
with the intention of escaping. After
having reproached his wife, who moaned
with terror and crawled from the bed fell
on her knees and piteously Implored him
to forgive her, the American is said to
have turned his wrath upon Abeille. who
had professed the utmost friendship for
the oonfdiug husband. and after upbraid-
ing him fred three shots. The French
mar screamed with agony and fell back
and died on a mat in front of the bed.
Deacon then turned to his wife and SAID:
killing is too good for you. You shall
be reserved for a worse fate. You shall
live to have the finger of scorn pointed at
YOU during the rest of your life. Never
let me see your deceitful face again"
Mrs. Deacon, at these words gave a shrek
and fell fiat on her face in a swoon.
Mrs. Deacon was a most attractive
woman. She dressed with exquisite
taste and was the object of considerable
attention upon the part of men. Nobody,
however, for a moment imagined she was
engaged in anything more than a harm
less Irritation. G.. Abeille was an attache
Of one of the French legations and a
bachelor. He had been intimately ac-
quainted with Deacon Tor a long time. 1t
IS not expected Deacon will remain long
IN the custody OF the police. 1t
was evident from the first he had the
sympathy of everybody and the police
allowed him to pass the night at the ho-
tel.

WHO DEACON Is.

Boston, Feb. 1s.-But little can be

gagged in numbering, then returned and a
