FRENCH ELECTIONS.
HOW WILL THE UNSTABLE
REPUBLIC VOTE?
John Bull at Chicago-German Vet
Grams - Chess Contests - Asylum
for Colored Boys-oars and Wheels
-Methodlsts and Militia.
The French Elections.

PARIS, Aug. 10. - Tomorrow
France elects it's new Chamber of
Deputies, its Congress or House of
Commons. For year all eyes have
been turned on the Panama scan
dals, but the Siam incident has
tended to draw attention in anoth-
er direction, and the ministry and
the government may be saved. 1t
is really battle for the French
presidency.
Great interest attaches to this
election, because it is the first held
since the Pope ordered the priest
hood and the Royalists to support
the Republic.
What the result of the conflict
will be no one can possibly divine.
No one knows how far the Panama
scandals, followed by the judicial
scandal of an illegal seutence-in-
flicted virtually by order of the
Ministry upon NJ. Effel and NJ.
Charles de Lesseps, which the
higher court quashed-have atfec-
ted the French electorate. Only
one thing seems clear-whatever
party or politician comes to the
top, French armament will be
maintained.
NJ. Dupuy, the prime minister
proclaims as his programme the
policy Of Republican cOncentra-
ton.
NJ. Goblet, the radical, accepts
this policy, on condition the radi-
cal are at the top. NJ. Constants,
the strong man of the law and
order party of the Republicans,
seeks to make his game in an alto
gether different direction. He has
his eye on the newly rallied
royalists. He is for a concentra-
ton of the conservative forces, a
strong policy, social legislation in
aid of old age pensions, and re-
duction of the burdens Of the peas
antry.
The ministry of NJ. Dupuy has
existed by sutferance only. 1t is
characteristic of French politics
that the Chamber has but recently
acquiesced in the matter upon
which it overthrow the Ribot
Ministry.
The most interesting characters
before the country now are M.
Develle, Foreign Minister; NJ.
Dupuy, M. Constans, who first be-
came famous as de Freycinet's
Minister of the Interior; NJ. Cas-
sagnac, the out-and-out EXtre-
mist and NJ. Teytral, the minister
of finance.

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Senate
will not be in session today,
rather Unexpectedly and after re-
fusing to adjourn over from Fri
day till Monday. Early in the day
yesterday, the body reconsidered
it's action behind the closed doors
of an executive session, and cOnse-
quently there will be no proceed
ings of interest today, beyond
speech making in the House.
In some quarters it was suggest
ed that a torpedo be thrown into
the Senate by Mr.. Butler,
of South Carolina, in the shape of
an amendment to the Bank cIrcu-
lation bill yesterday, repeating the
state tax on banks, had alarmed
senators who desired speedy action
on that measure, and fearing that
the amendment might carry, and
thereby cripple the National bank
system, unless full time were given
to point out the dangers it invoked,
they permitted an adjournment.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
| have in mind one city kitchen,
which certainly is model of its
kind. The mistress objects to white
washed or papered walls. Instead,
hers are painted in real coffee
color, which can be wiped regularly,
thus removing dust and stain. AS
the next best substitute for hard
wood floor she used linOleum,
which she keeps oiled and waxed
as she would the former, were she
fortunate enough to find such a
luxury in the city house. She has
a wire screen closet in cool place
for vegetables and berries which
she does not like to put on ice, and
she has large shelfiess closet I'M
der a wooden awning in the back
ward for such articles as steplad-
der, lawn mower and ironing board,
which generally are left to accum-
ulate in the extension or must be
carried up and down the cellar
stairs. She denies the statement
that girls do not appreciate a clean,
convenient, sanitary kitchen, for
more than once, she claims, the
kitchen has been an inducement
for good help to return in the fall.

The Missing Word Trick.
from London Truth.

From London Truth.
The "missing word" trick, re-
christened the "Trouvez lie Mot"
competition, is now being run by,
among others, gang calling
themselves "HOlmes & Co.," at
ROuen. The circulars of these
gentlemen have been widely dis
tributed in England during the
last two or three weeks, and again
the question arises how our Govern
ment, while prosecuting these
competitors at home, can assist
by means of the post office in car
rying out the same game in
France. l confess, however, that L
would not myself move a finger
for the protection of those who fall
victims to gentry like Holmes q
Co. Any one who can send money
to a sharper in France on the
chance of receiving anything in
the shape of a "prize" which the
said sharper chooses to remit de-
serves the worst that is likely to
happen him.

Denims for the Country.

Bosron Courier.
Denims, which will enter so
largely into country furnishings,
have only just begun to be appre-
ciated. At first only the blue, such
as was manufactured for mems
wear as overalls, was the only color
obtainable, but since there has
been added red aid then green,
both in good shades. Yellow will
soon be added. Denim, in shades
of red, makes the most effective
hammock and piazza pillows, and
will require absolutely no decOra-
ton, although some very striking
work may be produced by embrOi-
dering with heavy crewels or wash
linen floss in contrasting shades.
1t is especially adapted to such
purposes as laundry and shoe bags,
being strong and washable. 1t
will make most artistic pOrtieres
for summer cottages placed in the
dining room or hall, where rich
ness of coloring is desirable. There
is also a reversible denim shading
from red to blue, with the blue
predOminating on one side and red
on the other.

TRAPPED BY ELECTRICITY.

Michigan Burglars Photographed While
They Worked at a Till.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 15.-Three
burglars, trapped by electricity and the
camera, have confessed to robbing the
store of Foster, Stevens & Co., hard
ware. For some time the firm has been
loser by persistent till tapping and all
other devices failing, two electricians ar
ranged camera focused on the cash
drawer and an electric connection was
made with the Edison company's plant
to operate it. A burglar alarm device
was fitted in the cash drawer so that
when the till was opened the electric
connection was made and the shutter of
the camera opened, exposing the lens
and at the same time setting off cal
cium fashlight. AS soon as the flash
light fuse burned out it broke the circuit
and the camera lens closed automatic
ally with the photographs of the till tap
pers imprinted on the instantaneous
plate. The three poung men in the job
were startled by the fashlight, but as no
demonstration followed they finished the
job in peace. The suspects We're ar
rested, and when confronted by the
photograph broke down and have made
full confessions. Their names are Lewis
Stoneburner and Charles and Henry
Snyder. All live here.

A Washington dispatch says: Repre-
sentative Mcmillan of Tennessee said
that the victory of the Republicans in
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania was what
was expected. In New York, however,
they did not expect any such majority
for the Republicans. ana generally the
Republican majorities are larger than
was anticipated. He said that the tariff
question had nothing to do with the
result OF this election, as the character
of the bill the Democrats had prepared
was not yet known, and consequently
this could not be the issue before the
people in this election.
But the character OF the pledges made
in the Chicago platform are thoroughly
known, and when man threatens te
burn your house over your head and
you know he has the absolute power &c
do it, you don't wait until he publishes
plans and specifications before you be-
gin to feel apprehensive. 1t will be
observed that Mr.. Mcmillan says moth
ing about the vote in Ohio. where the
tariff was the real issue.

CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D., Nov. ia spe-
cial agent of the interior department
was at the Yankton agency last week
for the purpose of finding out whether
or not the Indians at that agency are in
favor of ratification of the treaty
made with them last winter. At the
time the treaty was negotiated there was
strong opposition among the Indians, but
since the appropriations have become
exhausted and the rations are all gone
a great change has taken place, and it
is reliably reported that they are now
unanimously in favor Of the treaty as it
now stands. The treaty will be ratified
at the coming session Of congress, and
the reservation will be opened for settle
ment next spring.

SOLDIERS FOR SURE.
Columbian Guards Will Join the Regular

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Ihe Columbian
guard, who with brass sword and
cleaning star has played SO important a
part in the worlds fair, has decided not
to retire to the oblivion Of private life,
but will, it is said, to the number of $50,
go to Honduras and fight with a bigger
sword for South American liberty. DIR.
Thackery, division superintendent in the
department of manufactures, is said to
be the originator of the idea of forming
Columbian army for Honduras, and
the guards have taken kindly to the
scheme. 1t is said that Honduras is
going to have an exposition of its own
next year, and that the president wants
the Americans to guard his show. After
the fair is over the Honduras govern
ment, it is claimed, will muster the
guards into the regular army. One hum
dred and fifty of the exposition soldiers
have already promised to go to South
America, and it is expected that more
will follow.

The Democrats of Iowa all through
the campaign just closed did everything
in their power TO encourage the third
party prohibition movement, but 1t did
not pan out as expected. Now the
Sioux City Tribune, which erstwhlle
was full of praise for Bennett Mitch
ell and his party, lets out the fol-
lowing whine:
Had Mitchell received the large vote
that the prohibitionists claimed for him
jackson would not have been elected.
But he did not receive that vote. Re-
publican candidates for the legislature,
who were absolutely pledged to prom
bitoin, received the Prohibition Repuo'
lican vote, but the returns show tha'
most of it also went to jackson anu tna'
Mitchell was slaughtered. The FROM
bition Republican managers wanted te
elect the majority of the house and they
did not care for anything else. But the
nomination of Mitchell forced many o.
the Republican nominees to pledge
themselves to prohibition. as the News
says. This done, Mitchell was aband
oned and the Prohibition Republican:
voted almost solidly for Jackson. The
inference is that Mitchell's nomination
was big bluff. even if it was not con
spiracy from place to last.
In other words. the Prohibitionists o
Iowa got tired of pulling Democratic
chestnuts out of the tlre, and carried
their fight into the only place where
the question can be settled-the legisla
tive districts.
