THE BeHRING SEA COMMISSION.

To-Day the Behring Sea InterDations
Arbitration Commission will hold its fir,t
session In Paris. Without doubt It Is one
OF the most distinguished collections OF
men that has ever been brought together
for such purpose. The commission that
met IN Paris twenty years ago under the
provisions Of the treaty OF Washington
was very remarkable one, but the
memb bers OF the present commission
surpasses 1t in every way. Our own
members OF the commission are
men OF great ability and learning and our
agents are men OF international reputa-
ton. The talent that is opposed to them
on behalf OF England Is no less worthy
for the leading members OF the legal fra
terpity have been selected to present the
ca 30 for the other side. Talent and abili-
ty are at premium In such affairs and
with one exception no one has obtained a
place upon the commission because OF
political pulls. We have nothing to fear
about the result with our case In such
worthy hands and we know that our rep
resentatives will uphold the dignity OF the
country as well as add lustre to their al
ready illustrious regulations,

The action OF the Repu blican Board Of
Aldermen, aided by the vote OF the Alder
man from the Second Ward, In dis
franchising over one thousand OF our
foreign born citizens OF all classes, has
aroused the Democrats to even greater
activity than heretofore.
They have gone to the trouble and ex-
pense OF finding out all the names which
ave been stricken from the voting lists
ana we print them below. Every man
whose name is on the list should present
bis papers to the City Clerk on or before
Saturday. 1t is the duty OF each ward
committee to seek out the parties named
below and get their papers or some proof
that they haye been naturalized. Singular
ly enough some native born voters have
been stricken of the list, but the easiest
and safest way for them is to walk up the
hill meekly, prove it, and then walk down
again with the proud consciousness that
they have bested the most "intelligent"
party and the "better element" Of both
parties In this city,

POOR POTHIER,

1t Ii too bad that young man OF the
natural ability OF Aram ]. Pothier of
Woonsocket should DO clerk in a bank
and therefore under the political control
OF those who control the bank.
Mr. Pothier is nice young man, OF Q
very retiring disposition and Of artistic
tastes. Had he chosen art instead of
book keeping he would be his own mas
ter and could have "laughed at black.
smiths" and bank directors. Necessity,
however, knows no law, and poor Pot bier,
OF necessity, from aspiring to the high
plane for which he is fitted for as a real
born artist, with pen, brush and palette,
buried himself In the Ballou. W oonsocket
National Bank.
He was looked upon as good man to
catch the Canadian vote later on, and
has been used. But when the Canadian
wanted something more tangible poor
Pothier was not "in it"
The eunsophisticated Canadian, for whom
the Democrats have obtained the right OF
voting, has split himself into two parts.
The high-toned one became Republicans
for social and financial reasons, and, with
superciliousness and effrontery that is
remarkable, tried to drag those whom
they always style ala cannaiils" after
them.
But the strong, rugged Canadian char
acter cannot be changed so easily. The
"high-toned" ones have had their day.

has been slight in half century. The
tale told by the last quarterly mortu-

were seventy-two births, and here
again the division as to sex was equal.

Then She Put IL Away,

There was woman at the matinee
the other day who looked healthful, but
who persisted in using a vinaigrette
filled with strong and penetrating
salts. 1t was pretty toy of cut glass,
with gold stopper heavily chased,
and was about as conspicuous as the
odor was powerful Most of the other
women had looked at the owner of it
and had signitied their disapproval
with whitening glances or wrinkles of
discomfort, bnt she placidly continued
to use it. Finally one young person
between the acts hit upon a bright
idea and nurmured in tones just loud
enough to reach the lady of the salts:
"New!"
And the vinaigrette closed with a
snap and disappeared, which leads one
to wonder if newness is term of great
reproach. Chicago Times

Vanity will suffer, too, when erin
olines come in. A very stout and
shapely woman is made to observe in
Punch
"Those dresses are all very we'll in
their way, but they make us all appear
the same size. Why a girl might be as
thin as whipping-post and yet be
taken for decent figure"
And then the crinoline is a thing
which no woman would dare discard
provided it becomes the rage. Some
unfortunate women are held up to
public scorn for attempting to achieve
slim effects when their sisters were clad
in broad crinolines.
One picture shows the shrinking
figures of the "Misses Weasel" who
have appeared at a party without their
crinolines. Dancing is forgotten, as by
common consent the other guests
gather around these unhappy young
persons and gaze on them with horror
and amaze.

Finding that the most vigorous
measures failed to bring women to
sense of the unhappiness they were
intlicting it was resolved to send a
deputation to Empress Eugene herself
in the hope of gaining her assistance.
The downfall of the crinoline was
not accomplished, however, until
another decade of it's evils had been en-

Toward the close of the fifties the
editor Of a French paper is said to have
made the glorious announcement, "La
