PARIS. Dec. 27.-The socialist men,
beers of St-Ouen, on the Seine, four miles
north of Paris, have chosen delegates
for the Senatorial elections who have
agreed to deposit blank voting tickets
in the electoral returns in the hope that
they may influence other delegates to
follow their example, and that thus in
the course of time the idea of deposit
ing blank ballots may become universal
and the Senate may die from inanition.

from Uganda recently say that the

PEELED from Uganda, and that it is be-

ment has notified the government OF

the scene of any disturbance.
BERLIN, Dec. 27.-Two workingmen
who were walking together in Meggle-
see, near this city, to-day, came upon
package lying in the street, which they
thought might contain something of
value. They sought quiet spot and
unwrapped the package, which sudden
ly exploded quite badly wounding the
men about their faces and hands.

archists.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The Bankers
Magazine comparing the stock exchange
values of 1898 with those of 1892, says
that the figures this year show decline
o. f67 900, 900 sterling upon 334 leading

American currency question.
MADRID, Dec. "a large audience
gathered last night in the Royal Opera
House. Suddenly a rumor was circu-
lated through the house that anarchists
were present and intended to commit
bomb outrage, and in less time than
it takes to tell of it the audience was in
state of semi-panic, and hurriedly de-
parted from the building. Great eX-
element prevailed in the city until it
was definitely stated that the rumor
was canard.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-Dispatches re-
ceived by city houses through the
South African merchants, Mosenthal,
Sons and Co., report the British South
African Company's force under Captain

CUEE FOR EPILEpsY.-A newly discovered
agent for the treatment of epilepsy has been
successfully used in Paris. The treatment
consists in the TRANSMISSION of a liquid made
from the eerebrum Of a sheep. 1t must be
freshly prepared, and is injected in the side
OF the patient over the hip joint. The aim is
to supply the nervous force with naturally
prepared food from healthy prepared ami
NAL which will readily assinilate with the
blood and will nourish without stimulating
the nervous system. The injections are made
once or twice day.

PROPOSED COUNTY LAWS.
1922 New YORK AVENUE,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 16, 1898.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette;
Dear Sir-I desire to publish certain
proposed laws for Alexandria county:
It's apparent that road laws designed
for counties of large area and small
population are not applicable to the
needs of the county. The cost Of i'm
proving public highways may be equi-
tably divided among tax levies of a
period of years, and this can be collect
ed by an issue of bonds, and a compe-
tent civil engineer will accomplish bet
ter results than road overseers. 1t has
been my endeavor to make the laws
efficient and practical. The establish
ment of a police court and jail in or
near Rosslyn is most necessary. 1t will
be valuable in the consideration of
these measures by the legislature to
get the opinion Of citizens and tax
payers and criticism in respect to them
is invited, and if the bills are consider
ed advantageous to the county, your
paper and all citizens should cooperate
10 securing their enactment during this
session of the General Assembly. Sim
cerely yours,
ROBERT H. PHILLIPS,
Supervisor.

THE FACTS that appeals Of unem-
ploved men for town aid in New Haven
suddenly stopped upon the establish
ment of a public wood yard at which
the applicants were offered two dollars
cord for saving, and that similar ap-
plicants in Boston, by order of the
Building Trades Council of that city,
refuse to accept the dollar day offered
for work by the relief committee there,
seem to indicate that the necessities Of
the unemployed, at least in the cities
referred to, are not so urgent as have
been represented.

GEORGE GOULD DENIES ALL.-Georgc
Gould, through his lawyers, Cochran and
Clark, has answered the charges made by
Mrs. leila Nicolaus in her suit against him
in New York for $4,000 damages. The
answer was served of Howe & Hummei last
week, and it is simply general denial Mr..
Hummel said yesterday that the answer had
been served, and beyond that he would not
discuss the case. Mrs Nicolaus is now abroad.
The suit will probably be placed on the cal
endar in February, and it is not likely to
come to trial until next fall.

MANY WISE and disinterested men
have long been convinced that the
Jury system, as now conducted in this
country, is anything else than means
by which justice may be obtained; but
not until the Coughlin murder trial,now
in progress in Chicago, was that
system ever so publicly travestied
as it was last night, when, by the
permission OF the court, the jurors in
that case attended the theatre. What
would have been thought of such pre-
cceding in the olden time But the
whole thing has become a grotesque
humbug and should be abolished. Di-
vided responsibility is never accounta-
BILE. A single Judge can always be held
responsible for his own decisions a
Jury can never be, for each member
thereof is responsible for only one
twelfth of the verdict it may render.

Did size Save Anrthing2

Not many miles from Hartford lives a
little woman who, owing to a chronic
1eanness of the family purse, is obliged
to practice small economies in order to
pay as she goes and have little left
over at the weeks end.
Wishing to procure a bottle of medi-
cine, which at the local druggists cost
one dollar and at a certain Hartford
emporium could be had for sixty-nine
cents, she reasoned that the saving on
medicine and few other articles she
needed would more than pay her fare to
and from the city. At the same time it
would make pleasant excursion for
her.
She went, made her purchases and in
due time was seated in the suburban
train speeding homeward. CHANGING to
look across the car she caught the
amused glances of a couple of young
men, said glances being unmistakably
directed at her. Our little woman col
ored Indignantly and ignored her fellow
passengers the rest of the trip by gazing
at the scenery. Upon her arrival at the
home station the brakeman, while assist
ing her to alight, smiled smile which
just stopped short Of grin, and the
now confused and angry woman started
toward home. But the last straw was
added when newsboy, with character
istic impudence, shouted, 81 say, lady,
yer's loosin yer beerl'
Looking over several packages to the
one tucked under her arm, she saw, not
beer, but her medicine slowly trickling
down over the new jacket bought that
day, over her best dress, and finally to
the pavement, forming trail as far be-
hind as she could see. Realizing her
loss she determined to save what she
could. Her economic principles were
too deeply ingrained to desert her now,
so grasping the bottle firmly and hold
ing it at arms length she started down
the last block.
A steady drip accompanied her foot
steps, and reaching home she succeeded
in saving about two tablespoonfuls. A
nick in the bottom of the bottle had re-
leased the liquid, and after soaking
through the thick wrapper had started
on its downward career, regardless of
lean purses or consequences.-Cor New
York Recorder.

Woman,s Influence.

What strong power for good or evil
is a womans influenced In all ages there
have been instances where women have
by their force of will or fascination of
manner melted men to crimes or to the
highest and holiest ambition. Nothing
in the world can rival the wiles of a
woman, and men are nodded by fair
fingers and cajoled by fair words until
their ruin or their betterment has been
accomplished. The vilest, most poison
GUS reptile that ever crawled cannot
compare in it's power to harm with an
evil disposed woman. To begin with,
man never wishes to think any wrong
Of her simply because she is woman,
and fails to see, as feminine eyes would
quickly discover, that the siren but leads
him on to his own destruction.
He is captiyated by her smile, wooed
by her manner and won by her tears,
for though her smile is a wonderful
power her tears can more speedily break
down the barrier and aid her in the ac-
complishment of any design. Thus she
employs both as best suits her ends, and
the eaamored victim does not realize
until too late that the smile was false
and til, ears not genuine. Philadelphia
Times.

when Russell Sage Grew Generous.

It is not every day that Mr.. Russell
Sage is seized with a recklessly generous
mood. He had one such mood, however,
according to an old business associate of
his, several years ago. 1t was on
pleasant afternoon when the king of
s'puts" and "calls" was feeling partic-
ularly mellow in consequence of two or
three lucky for him) turns in the stock
market. A name was sent into Mr..
Sage's private Office which proved a
quick invitation to enter. The name
was borne by seedy man with shut
fling gait, but the millionaire grasped
his hand with cordial grip neverthe-
less. The two had been boys together
schoolmate and friends. They were born
on the same day, and in their boyhood
enthusiasm they were wont to celebrate
their natal day together.
Russell Sage recalled all of this, and
when his friend remarked that he was
getting along very poorly the rich man
promptly put his hand into his pocket,
IND pulling out five dollar bill, pressed
1 into his old friends hand with the
puching remark, my old friend, don't
tesitate to take it, and if you viii come
round every birthday will repeat the
lift" For many years after that the
seedy and shutting man appeared peri
odically at Mr.. Sage's Office and received
his five dollars. This year, SO the story
goes, Mr.. Sage was unable to find five
dollars in his roll of bills, and was on
the point Of putting his old friend off,
when the latter exclaimed: ssBut am
IN more desperate need of money than
ever before, Mr.. Sage. Why not give
me one of those ten dollar bills?"
"Well, I never thought of that" re-
piled Mr.. Sage IN a matter Of fact way.
Here, you take this ten dollars and
give me q receipt for two years. New
