Clemenceau's Separation from His

Gals. The once dictator of cabinets,
the successor Of Gambetta, has for
the moment no more influence in the
republican government he did so much
to establish than the most obscure
partisan. In his early youth he was
forced to quit France for political and
other reasons. He established himself
as a teacher of the French tongue in
one of the most fashionable schools
of the ladies in New England.
He was the delight of the demure
misses who made up the French class.
His pensive eyes, his soporus Partisan
accent, his gayety, wit and accom-
plishments captivated charming girl

of the prim danes at the head Of the
institution. The young foreigner was

his sweethearts promise to marry him

was adroit enough to escape identifca-

devotion to the wounded during the
siege of Paris, became the idol Of the
national guard. Thereafter, for years,
he was the most beloved of the radical
leaders, sharing with Gambetta the
SURFACES Of Belleville.
An excellent physician, he devoted
every forenoon to the poor Of his
quarter and was universally known as
the Samaritan. He could select any

faithfulness by her own eyes. She

the French laws would have enabled

Many letters went and came after
that. containing problems and their
answers. the answers always full of
that strange, vague, delicious scout,
which seemed to watt itself through
the study and remain there, caught
with the dust notes in the sunbeam.
A longing and yearning for those
little notes began to take possession Of
Henry Warning and to disturb lbs
mind. Old memories of the time VIXEN
he wore frocks and toddled began to
haunt him. and his work was no longer
done by reflex action.
He consulted doctor, but as he only
confided half his symptoms to that
scientific person. quite suppressing the
letters, the doctor felt rather out Of 1t
and prescribed auinine, which had no
effect whatsoever.
One morning the yearning for let

and none came. This was the climax.
By sudden impulse which he never
succeeded in explaining to himself on
any satisfactory grounds, Mr.. Warning
went to his bedroom, knelt down by his
big chest Of drawers, and proceeded
to pack a little valise with every ar
t;cle he did not want, leaving out all
those he did Then he stepped into a
cab and made for the station.
Towards the close of the day he
presented himself at the door of a
queer old red-brfck manor house in
Kent owned by a Colonel Selwyn and
his wife, and asked simply for Miss

A. P. A. RIOT in BUTTE.
Many Shots Exchanged and NATIONAL
Guard Ordered to Re
store Order,

Butte, Mont, July 5.-An A. P. A. riot
broke out here yesterday afternoon, and
one man dead, one fatally wounded and
half dozen more or less seriously hurt
is the result of the outbreak. The militia
has been called out and is stationed in
one district of the city Saloons have
been closed, as we'll as pawnshops and
places where ammunition is sold.
The trouble was precipitated by two sa-
loonkeepers. On the fronts of their places
were decorations in bunting forming the
letters A. Z. A. Last night some per-
sons set off stick of giant powder under
one CT the windows, demolishing a large
plate glass. This attracted a large crowd
OF people to the scene, which blocked the
street all day. After the parade the po-
lice could not dispense the crowd. Sew
eral fights occurred, and the first shot was
fired by William Ferguson at William
Page. This intensified feeling and the
crowd started to tear down the buildings
occupied by the saloon men which had the
A. T. A. sign out. A court officer then
addressed the crowd appealing to them
not to commit any overt act or OffenSe.
The crowd could not be Gained, but was
held at bay by wise counsel.
At $50 the riot broke out and the fire
department rushed into the crowd, turn
ing the water upon them. The hose was
then turned in Simon HauSworth's sa-
loon and the A. 2. A. signs torn down.
Several men inside the saloon began
shooting One man stood at the door and
fired six shots into the saloon. The Sher-
if and posse then came upon the scene,
some of whom were roughly handled and
barely escaped with their lives. The
mayor then called upon the governor for
militia, and several local companies were
ordered out. Ropes were drawn across
the street and the militia cleared the
block. Order was restored at the imme-
diate scene of riot, but at the other end
of the block large crowds assembled and
more trouble was momentariy expected.
The excitement ran high all the afternoon
and there was lively Interchange of
shots, with the following results:
D. II. DAILY, special policeman, shot through
the heart and insanity killed by Frank Mum
ford, baker.
WILLIAM PAGE, a glancing shot over the eye.
