The registry of the Bastille contains
the entry: ION Thursday, Sept is,
1859, at O'Clock in tho afternoon, NJ.
do Saint-Mars, governor of the castle
of the Bastille, arrived to take up his
duties, coming from his post at the lies
Salnto Marguerite, and having brought
with him i'll his litter Il former prisoner,
whom he had i'll his custody at Pignerol
Tho latter he keeps invariably masked,
and his name is never mentioned" NJ.
de Saint-Mars, in the years in question,
had only five prisoners in his charge at
Pignerol. The fate of four has been
clearly traced The fifth must be Mat
toll. The prisoner died in 1908, and
was buried OIL Nov. 80 in the cemetery
of St Paul. NJ. Bertrand of the French
foreign office has examined the registry
OF burlalS and finds the name Mattioli
under that date. Louis XIV told Nine.
Pompadour that the prisoner was an
Italian minister.
Louis XVI assured Marie Antoinette.
OH the authority of Maurepas, that the
man was dangerous intriguer, Il sub
ject of the Duke of Mantua, who had
been arrested at the frontier and impris-
oned first ut Pignerol and then in the
Bastillc. The evidence seems conclusive,
and puts an end to all other theories,
including Voltaire S bold invention that
the man III the iron mask was supposed
brother of Louis XVI, which Dumas has
taken up and immortalized in his
Three Guardsmen" romances. Matti-
Oils crime was giving information to
Austria, Spain, Savoy and Venice Of
negotiations into which Louis XVI had
entered with him to induce him to sell
tho important fortress of Casale to the
French. -Revue Historique

THE JAPANESE.
AS Clean rs They Are Polite and es Cen
Ito rs They Are Brave.

The Japanese have many nice quail
ties and some great ones. They are
clean, they are polite, and apparently
they are very gentle and very brave.
They are said to be exceedingly neat,
too, and to be beautifully endowed with
that sense OF propriety defective de-
velopment of which accounts for much
of the rubbish i'll American streets and
most of the disagreeableness of Ameri-
can street car travel. They certainly
beat us in good many things, and not
unreasonably their example is much held
up to us nowadays for emulation. Intel
hgent foreigners who have observed rs
closely have declared that we are the
rudest and the kindest people in the
world
OF course it is a pity that we are not
moro universally courteous; that our
children are not demure and orderly like
the Japanese children that we throw
papers into tho street and drop peanut
shells and orange peel OH the floors Of
our public conveyances. Of course it is
pity that we are not moro like the
Japanese i'll many particulars; but, for
my part, l make bold to confess that
~AAHSA iOan hidHiicIS, WITH All their de-
fects, are better suited to my American
taste than Japanese manners, with all
their gentle projections.
American manners are not nearly as
good as they should be, not nearly az
good as one may hope they may become,
but that Japanning would profit them is
not so certain us it looks at first sight,
even If it did not involve much great
er amount of self repression or self OBJ
liberation, doubtless more apparent than
actual, than the American temperament
could endure or has any desire to attain
to. The amelioration of our national de-
meanor must rather be sought in an in
creased and enlightened self control
joined to strengthened self respect. If
we ever do become civilized, it will be
FIRST at the heart and afterward at the
rind.-Scribner'

HORSE FOLLOWED FUNERALS.
a Louisville Steed That Caused His Mis-.
tress Deep Modification.

Some years ago. said Alderman
James G. Gilbert to reporter, 81 had
tenant down town who died, leaving
8 wife and helpless family. Their only
property consisted of an old mare, and
more to oblige them than anything else
bought the horse. She was gentle and
my Wife adopted her for her own driv-
ing, and was much pleased for awhile,
as the old mare was so gentle that my
wife could drive her about town herself.
1t seemed, however, that the mare
had once belonged to an old lady over in
New Albany who had mania OH the
subject Of funerals and mado point
never to miss one. The old mares
principal occupation for years had been
to follow funeral professions to the
cemeteries. Ono day my wife was driv-
ing down the street, when she suddenly
encountered negro funeral, followed
by number of societies with all the
paraphcrnalia of an imposing cortege.
Tho old marc recognized the process
sion at glance, and calmly turned in
to tho line Of the parade. In vain my
wife tugsed ut the reins aud tried to
turn out. The old mare knew her bust
ness, and with head hung down solemn
ly followed close behind the mourners.
Occasionally they would meet an ac-
quaintance of ours, and they looked
with surprise at the tribute which my
wife was apparently paying to the de-
ceased, until my wife was frantic with
modification and anger.
AT every crossing she would appeal
to bystandcrs to stop the old mare, but
they didn't seem to understand, until
at last they passed policeman, who, in
response to my wife's fearful appeals
stopped the old mare and dragged her
ont of the procession, much to her sur
prise and disgust. OF course l had a
good laugh over it, but it was no laugh
ing matter with my wife, and L had no
peace till | sold that old marc and got
her out Of sight for good. '-Louisvillo

Mrs. EdhOlm on Prohibition.

Mrs. Edholm was before the Prohibit
tiOn League of Wilmington last week
and her talk on social purity and pro-
hibitiOn proved exceedingly interest
ing. After briefly rehearsing the pro-
gress and aggressiveness OF political
prohibition aud the substantial support
given by the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and the prospects of
ultimate success, Mrs. EdhOlm spoke
rapidly aud with wonderful emotion of
her rescue mission work among unfOr.
tunate women.
She related some of her experiences
in this city and in other cities, and
urged that men and women band to-
gether in united effort to wTest these
women from heir worse than slavery.
In touching manner she gave u
sketch of her own life, how her hus-
| band had been led into the drink habit
and after years of heart-brOken suffer
ing on her part he became insane and
ended his days in an insane asylum
Then came the struggle for existence
for herself and her little boy. This
terrible experience led into this per.
sonal purity aud prohibition work.
The whole audience was moved to
tears. Such meeting had not been
held in the league since it's organiza

Compulsory Education.

The women of the Wilmington New
Century Club who visited Dover
Wednesday to say word or two in
behalf of the compulsory education
bill now in the House presented their
case ably to the members of the
General Assembly. They made a
good impression upon the members of
the Legislature, and they demonstrated
that they were not only deeply in
earnest, but that they were fully in
formed as to the needs an the neces-
sites of the measure which they wish
placed upon the statute books.
Compulsory education, according to
reports from Great Britain, has resulted
in increased attendance at the school,
and a decrease in the number of com
mitments to the prisons. The reduc
tiOn in the number of convicts is at
tribUted to the increase in the numbe
of scholars in the schools, and if this b
a correct deduction the end sought 70
has been obtained. There is simila

State Treasurer's Report.

The biennial report of Wilbur H. Bur
mite, late State treasurer, was submitted
to the House Saturday and the printing
of 600 copies of it was ordered. Fol
lowing is q synopsis:
There have been no changes since
my last report, either in the assets of
the State or in the bonded indebted
ness. All interests on investments due
the State have been promptly paid, and
interests due from the State have been
met at maturity.
Our present bonded Indebtedness,
apart from the school fund bond and
the certificate of Indebtedness to Della
ware College, amounts To $445, 900. OF
this amount $l95, 900 is drawing 4 per
cent. interest and the remainder, $3.50 :
OO0), per cent. We have no bonds
falling due before the year 1908, but all
Of our Indebtedness will shortly be re-
deemable at the option of the State.
During my incumbency of this Office
the expenditures have largely in
creased both from regular and special
appropriations. The latter aggregated
over $S7, 900. To the regular appro-
priations have been added registration
expenses, aggregating $4,000, and ex
penses connected with the Delaware
State Hospital at Farnhurst; aggregat
ing including special appropriation fo
Improvement fund, $155,0OO. The re
suit of the payment of these large sum
of money has been to deplete the gen
eral fund to an extent that makes i
absolutely necessary for our revenu
to be increased.
Upon the basis of our present source
of revenue estimate that the exper
ditures during the coming year will t
a considerable extent exceed the re
ceipts.
The entire cost of free text books ha
been $46,27091, divided as follows
1891, SIT ,228.2O; 1892. $12, 2,eOS7S; 1S9
$s,S2684; 1894, $7,6O714. The col
tracts with the different publishers, !
in all, expire in July next under Ii
0 present law.
