The effect of n newspaper paragraph
may be far-reaching in its legal conse-
quences sometimes - especially in
France. Nj. Cornet, overseer Mt the
West of France Engine Works, was
severely attacked in the columns of a
railroad newspaper L'Echo des Chem
list de Fer (Enlish, "The Railway
Echow. He took these criticisms so
much to heart that he committed sui
eide, leaving widow and child. The
said widow brought suit for damages
against L'Echo, holding that her hus-
bands death was the direct result of
the criticisms in that paper, and the
court, concurring in that view, award
ed the full amount claimed, ten thou
sand dollars, and condemned the news
paper in t-e entire COSTS of the action.

THE SILENT BATTLE.

Shall I tell you about the battle
That was fought in the world to-day.
Where thousands went down like heroes
To death In the pitiless fray2
You may know some of the wounded
And some of the fallen when
l tell you this wonderful battle
Was fought in tho hearts OF men.
Not with the sounding of trumpets,
Nor clashiny of sabers drawn,
But, silent as twilight in autumn,
All day the fight went on.
And over against temptation
Amother's prayers were cast
That had come by silent marches
From the lullaby land of the past.
And over the field of battle
The force Of ambition went,
Driving before it. like arrows,
The children of sweet content.
And memories odd and oldcn
Came up through the dust of years.
And hopes that were glad and golden
Were met by u host of fears.
And the heart grew worn and weary
And said: ooh, can il be
That am worth the struggle
You are making to-day for mcV
For the heart itself was the trophy
Aud prize otthis waverins fight !

LITTLE AIL-ALONEX,

Little All-Aloneys feet
Pitter-patter In the hail.
And his mother runs to meet
And to kiss her toddling sweet,
Ere perchance he fall.
He is, oh, so weak and small
Yet what danger shall he fear
When his mother hoveth near
And he hears her cheering call
"All-Aloney?'
Little All-Aloney's face
1t is all aglow with glee,
As around that romping place
At terrifying pace
Lungeth, plungeth he
And that hero seems to be
All unconscious Of our cheers
Only one dear voice he hears
Calling reassuringly:
"All-Aloneyw
Though his legs bend with their load,
Though his feet they seemed so small
That you cannot help forebode
Some disastrous episode
In that noisy hall
Neither threatening bump nor fall
Little All-Aloney fears,
But with sweet bravado steers
Whittier comes that CHEEKY call;
"All-Aloneym
Ah, that in the years to come,
When he shares of Sorrows store,
When his feet are chill and numb,
When his cross is burdensome,
And his heart is sore;
Would that he could hear once moro
The gentle voice he used to hear
Divine with mother love and cheer
Calling from yonder spirit shore:
Gan, all alone!"

Rev. Frederick Howard on Trial in Ten
nossee on a Serious Charge.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 16.--In the
case of Rev. Frederick Howard, on trial
in the Federal court at Jackson, Tenn,
some very interesting evidence was
brought out this morning. The defend
ant is charged with using the mails for
fraudulent purposes.
His scheme was TO lead people in
various parts of the United States to
believe that they had inherited fortunes
in England and pay him fees to secure
the alleged Inheritance. There have
been witnesses in attendance on the
case from London and various parts of
the country, including people who have
been duped by Howard and clerks from
the New York postoffice.
Howard formerly had charge of a
Baptist Church in Jackson, but was de.
posed after long and sensational trial
in which he was proved to be an i'm
poster, it having been established that
he was once young Englishman of bad
repute, living in Georgia and calling
himself Howell.
He was arrested in Chicago a short
time ago, but escaped from custody.
de afterwards returned to Jackson,
where he surrendered himself to the
authorities. The case will probably
consume week more time.

dead one day last week while attending

business, and last evening they met to
give City Engineer P. M Cabell an OBJ
portunity to reply to charges of neglect
of duty and incompetency. The hearing
was continued until tonight.
The council thought it advisable to
appoint committee to take such steps
as necessary to protect the town from
possible visit of smallpox. The school
must be vaccinated by Monday No
danger is apprehended and this action
Is merely precautionary.

A Native of West Virginia Runs or with u
IT.Year-Old Girl.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 16.-Rev. Cnas. M.
Bragg, pastor of the Calvary Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, and Miss
ianthe Phelps, orgsnist of the church,
have disappeared, leaving letters saw
Ing that they will not return to Balti-
more. The inference is that the parson
and organlst have taken flight together,
the former leaving wife and five young
children.
Mr.. Bragg is AZ years OF age. For
number OF years he had charge OF
country newspaper in West Virginia,
his native State. Ten years ago he
entered tho ministry. He came to Cal
vary Church in March 1892, from Romeo
gerte, w. Va.
Miss Phelps, the missing organst, is
about II years of age. of medium height
and good figure. Richard Phelps, the

cuss the subject OF the disappearance of
his daughter.

DYNAMITERs AT MARsEILLEs.
Dastard1y Attempt Made to Blow Up til Q
Residence of General MatheItn.

DastardIy Attempt Made to Blow Up tn q
Residence of General MatheIin.
MARsEILLEs, Nov. 16.-A dastardly
attempt was made to blow up the resi-
dence OF General Mathelin, commander
of the Fifteenth army corps, at about
midnight last night. The house ID sur
rounded by high wall into which
sentry boxes are built. 1t is the official
residence of the general Of the division
commanding the Fifteenth army corps.
Into the small inches or sentry boxes
number of little cases of dynamite
were placed and in addition one case of
dynamite was placed in a room adjein-
Ing the apartments occupied by the gen.
eral. used by the generals orderlies.
In some manner. not explained up to
the present, the case Of dynamite placed
in the orderlies' room exploded at about
midnight with loud report, shattering
the walls and hurting mass of debris
into the guard room, without, however,
injuring anybody.
Every pane Of glass in the Generals
house and In adjoining houses was
smashed and the girls school and Octroi
building opposite the Generals resi-
dence were badly damaged. In addition
a bomb was discovered in one Of the
passages OF the GeneraI'S house and 1t
is believed that the conspirators we're
under the impression that tho explosion
of the first case of dynamite would be
sufficient to explode the bomb found in
the passage as we'll as the dynamite in
the sentry boxes.
Had the successive explosions taken
place they would have reduced the
generals residence to a heap of bricks
and would have killed every person
beneath its roof. besides destroying the
girls school and it's inmates as we'll as
the Octroi building.
1t appears that for several years past
no sentries have been stationed about
the official residence of the general in
com mand of the division, as the quiet
which has prevailed at Marseilles did
not warrant taking this precaution.
The force OF the explosion was felt a
mile away. Nothing has been discov-
cred as to the perpetrators.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Secretary
Gresham is thoroughly confident that
the queen Of the Hawaiian monarchy
has been restored to the throne without
the necessity OF display of fire arms,
while Minister Thurston is equally GER
tain that no such change has OCCURRED
unless it has been forced by the threat
of bayonets. In this sentence, says the
Washington Post, can be summed up
the situation in Hawaii as it is viewed
here by men who are 5000 miles away
from the seat of war, and who know
absolutely nothing of the present status.
at the State department yesterday
the dispatches which were last night
transmitted in cipher to San Francisco,
to be forwarded by steamer to-day to
Minister Willis at Honolulu, were being
prepared, but, of course, their contents
were not made public. Ever since the
action of the President and Secretary
Gresham has raised such storm of in
dignation, the mystery and secrecy at
the State Department has been thick
enough to cut with knife. 1t has not
been genial secrecy, either, but is &C.
companied by display of feeling which
shows how much the public hostility is
reBented.
Inc uay5 Wnon MT. blaine was q 9 the
head Of the Department were as sun

darkness with which every act of the
administration is now shrouded from

yesterday that this feeling of irritation
was due to the fact that the plans of
the President and Secretary Gresham
in regard to Hawaii had miscarried
Certain it is that the Secretary has
heard some very plain comments from

sition he has assumed. A story was
printed yesterday to the effect that
Democratic Senator exclaimed, when

that all you have got!"
This remark, which is attributed to
Senator Voorhees,, speaks volumes in
