THE death of Jules Francois
Camille Ferry, the ablest French
statesman since the time of Theirs,
is dramatic event. For many years
he was regarded as one Of the first
men who formed the bulwark of the
republic. AS the leading spirit Of
the cabinet during the period of the
disastrous war in Tonquin, he was
compelled to assume all the odium of
the repeated failures of the French
troops in that country, and he was
driven from public life. He re-
NAMED in retirement under the ban
of the popular judgment for several
years, though still holding his life
seat in the Senate. By a surprise of
fortune, when other men had been
driven out of Office by the force of
the Panama scandals, he was elected
recently President of the Senate and
babe fair to regain his popularity
and former standing. The tragic
event will further complicate the ex-
listing state of affairs in France

A PREACHER at East Harwich,
Mass, has been forced to leave that
town on account of his osculatory
tendencies toward the femal men,
bers of his flock. He had been turned
out of doors on one or two occasions,
had been reprimanded by husbands
and had even been stoned by indig-
nant SWANS. Still he persisted, ex-
planning that he was afflicted with
hereditary OSCILLATION, handed down
to him by his father. Strange to say,
he inherited also keen discrimina-
tion in the matter, being prompted
to kiss only the younger and prettier
members Of his congregation. His
explanation was not received, and did
not excite compassion. Too many
other fellows are afflicted with a
hereditary desire to kiss pretty girls,
and are forced to curb their propensi-
ties or limit them within proper
bounds.

IN 1884 the city of St. Louis passed
an ordinance charging telegraph and
telephone companies S. year for
each pole erected in the streets. The
companies contested the validity of
the ordinance, and it was pronounced
void in the lower courts. An appeal
was taken and a final decision was
rendered recently by the United
States Supreme Court. 1t was held
that the ordinance was valid: that
the charge made was not a license
tax, but was in the nature of ground
rent which the city had the right to
demand and receive for the use of the
space occupied by the poles. Here is
a source of revenue for other cities
which might be improved. St. Louis
will get 1915 a year from this as
sessment, with back taxes for nine
years.

A Fairy Godfather.

Two gentlemen, one an American
and the other Viennese, met at an
Austrian watering place, and, after
a short hut delightful acquaintance,
the Viennese discovered that the
American, who had given his name
as Hunt, let us say, was banker.
"Are you, then, the head of the
house of Hunt, in New York;" he
asked, in surprise and interest.
Il am"
"How very strange!"
"Why stranger"
Il cannot give you a satisfactory
reply without telling you a sad
story" was the answer, and he went
on to relate the following incident:
Two years before a charming girl
who was under his guardianship had
married man who had at once set
up in business on his wifes capital,
and had become bankrupt. The next
step was his disappearance, and so
discouraged had he been over his
ruined hopes that every one believed
him to have committed suicide.
Within a few months. however,
his sorrowing wife had received a
letter from him written from town
in one of the Western States of
America. He begged her to forgive
him for leaving her, ar d promised to
send for her as soon as fortune should
once more favor him.
Letters continued to come. now

Site of the Sepulcher.

In letter just received by the
State Department, Consul Merrill at
Jerusalem says many modern scholars
in the department of Palestinian
archaeology, having abandonded as
untenable the traditional site of the
Holy Sepulcher as the place of the
crucif1xion and burial of our Lord,
have fixed upon the hill above Jere-
miah's Grotto, 800 yards north of the
Damascus Gate, as the site of the
crucifixion. Adjoining this hill,
which is covered with Mohammedan
graves. is large garden controlling
the face of the hill, which is rock, for
$50 yards. Excavations at different
times in this garden have shown that
six or more feet below the surface of
the ground there exist interesting
ruins and in the rock itself there is
a remarkable tomb, which has recently
attracted much attention.. An effort
has been made the past year to pur-
chase this garden, with its appurte-
nances, place it in the hands of a
general committee, so that it should
not be in the control of any particu-
lar religious sect, have excavations
made, and everything that might be
found preserved and exposed for the
benefit of all who take an interest in
such matters. The negotiations were,
it was thought, successful and the
money ready to be paid, but very
recently there has come hitch of
some kind SO that after all the prof.
ect may fail.

MELVILLE d. LANDoN, known to
a certain grade Of newspaper litera-
ture as eli Perkins," had a disa-
greeable trip, recently, as he de-
scribes it, on railroad train between
Chicago and St. Louis. Mr.. Landon,
alias Perkins, was in the sleeper. and
an unfortunate difference of opinion
occurred between him and the porter
of the car, who is alleged to have
been of African descent. Some re-
marks of Mr.. Landon, alias Perkins,
were regarded by the porter as in
sulting in their nature and were re-
sented by force. The result was dis
astrous to the distinguished traveller,
lecturer, and humorist. The rounds
were not numerous, but were decl-
siye. On arriving at st. Louis Mr..
Landon exhibited his facial dis1gure-
ment and reported the case to the
railroad officials, and he gives it out
that the presiding genius of the
sleeping car was discharged. All that
is published in regard to the affair is
based on Mr.. Landon's statement.

How One Room Was Papered.

A clever woman who had more
ideas than she had money wanted to
repaper her dining-room. She lived
in small place where there were no
large stores, and all the cheap papers
which could be had were hideous in
design and color. Finally bright
thought struck this woman as she
was in a grocery store one day, and
the result was that she induced the
grocer to part with great roll of the
smooth, yellow wrapping paper which
he used to put around parcels. The
family laughed, but soon the paper
was on the walls and was supple
mented with border of creamy
roses, which shaded from light browns
to soft pinks. The paper was great
success, and the room, which seemed
twice as large, is as pretty and dainty
as one could wish for.
