THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.
Mel0dramatic and Farcical Elements Of
the Approaching Climax.

the Approaching Climax.
A crisis in the public affairs of France
seldom fails to present dramatic and
picturesque features which make FrULch
politics of greater spectacular interest
to alien onlookers than the politics Of
any other country. The rapidly ap-
preaching climax in the fate of the
present government at Paris is by no
means lacking in the mixture of the
melodramatic and farcical elements.
The weapons being employed in what
has now become desperate struggle
are quite unknown to ordinary political
warfare Take, for instance, the gov
eminent campaign against the press, for

of the prosecutions of Matchmaking ed

what seems an insane determination on
the part Of large section of the sensa-
tional press to incite warlike hatred
of their neighbors, chiefly England, in
the minds of the French people. The

incendiary spirit, which daily grew

and the governments rigorous pursuit
is fully justified. although its motive
is not disinterested love of justice.
There would be probably an easy tri-

startling and embarrassing dilemma OF
the cabinet, only hints of which as ye.

THE MIRACLES OF LOURDES.
A Meeting In Paris at Which lola Was
Refuted by Living Witnesses.

A Meeting In Paris at Which lola Was
Refuted by Living Witnesses.
We have had in Paris an absolutely
new spectacle, for one night only. Fiji
teen persons who declare that they were
miraculously cured of terrible diseases
presented themselves for inspection at
lecture given by DR.. Boissarie of the
bureau DIES consultations at Lourdes.
DIR. Boissarie s object was to refute va
rious statements made by M. lola in
his book on Lourdes, and in order to
prove that the cures which take place
at the scene Of Bernadette's visions are
truly miraculous he brought from va
riOus parts Of France ID persons healed
within the last two or three years at
Lourdes of diseases which medical
science had pronounced incurable.
Among these was the young woman,
Marie Lemarchand, who figures in M.
Zola's book as Elsie Bouquet She
went to Lourdes horribly disfgured
with lupus, which had partly destroyed
her nose and mouth and spread over her
whole face. lola gives realistic de-

anything but pleasant reading. 1t was
nevertheless read at the meeting, and
then Marie was asked to stand up and
show her face. AS she did so there was
a general exclamation of wonder. The
victim of lupus whom the doctors had
abandoned had become again quite a
pretty, fresh faced country girl whom
medical men declared to be perfectly
healthy Another subject was a man
who was pronounced at the Saltpetiere
hospital to be suffering from paralysis
and blindness caused by atrophy of the
optic nerves. He went to Lourdes and
recovered his sight and health instan-
taneously. Then there was girl who
was cured of a cancer which was so
bad that surgeon refused to operate
upon it, and another of wound in the
foot caused by carries Of the bone.
This procession Of miracules and the
medical diagnoses and certificates which
were read produced an extraordinary
impression. The audience was largely
composed Of doctors and medical stu.

The Louisville Conference CompIicates the Sit- uation-Dferences in the State Com
 mittee-Reslgnations Expected.

Louisville, Aug. 24.-The democratic situation in Kentucky was further com plicated by the conference held in this city today between the democratic state central committee and a number of candi- dates for state officers. There had been rumors that Hon. P. Watt Hardin would be called upon to withdraw from the tick ct on account of his stand on the silver question: The conference was behind closed doors, but it is said this contin- gency was not even considered.
 Although most of the candidates were recognized as sound money men, all ex- cept K. T. Tyler the nominee for lieuten- ant-goVernor, advocated standing by Mr. Hardin in his construction of the plat form. The majority of the state commit- tee also urged that the only course to be- pursued now was to give the ticket united support regardless of the currency issue.
 The only formal action taken by the conference was the appointment of a committee to prepare an address to the democratic voters of the state explain ing the perilous position of the party and urging all to work and vote for the en- tire ticket. This special committee con sists of Charles R. Long, chairman of the state committee; Grey Woodson of Owensboro, Hanson Kennedy of Nieho- las county and H. P. Thompson of Clark county. MT. Long is sound money man and the other three members of the com, dissatisfaction is expressed by opponents of free coinage with the fruitless result of the conference. There are also rumors of differences in the state committee and probably resignations of some of the members on account of the action taken

CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Conditions Have Improved During the Past Week-Boll Worms in Cotton-Su-
 perb Yield of Corn.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24-Crop condi- tions in Mississippi may be said to have improved during the past week very ma terially because of. the much needed sun shine. Cotton has been laid by some in the mud and some in good order, while in other sections it has been abandoned to the grass. The rains ceased the first of the week and the benefit of warm, dry weather is very perceptible,' and espe- cially in the delta. In Washington, Issa- quenna and other large cotton producing counties boil worms in alarming numbers are reported, but the planters hope, by judcious application of Paris green, to cut them short and save the better DOT tion of the crop. In the hills some worms are reported, but they seldom do serious damage. M. L. Jenkins, manager of the state farms of 25,000 acres, says he finds worms in this (Hinds) county, but they cause no alarm. The delta state farms are overrun with them, however.
 The corn crop will be the largest ever raised in the state, and will place the Mississippi farmers beyond want. In fact all food crops are as fine as ever seen. Potatoes, cane and upland rice promise an abundant yield and the for ests afford magnificent mast, thus Solv- ing the hog and hominy problem. More hay Is being cut than ever before and is selling on the streets of Jackson today at 25 cents per hundred, while fodder goes begging at 50 cents per 100 bundles.

KNIGHTS BEGIN TO ARRIVE
San Francisco Commandery Mounted on Black Horses, March Down the Streets
 of Boston Under Escort,

Boston, Aug. 24.-Delegates to the tri- ennial conclave of Knights Templar are constantly arriving in small parties but no considerable numbers have yet reached Boston. The arrivals are from all parts of the country, the Knights in most cases being accompanied by mem bers of their families. The feature this afternoon was the arrival at 2:30 p. m. of the California commandery, No. 1, six ty Knights and thirty ladies' the largest single body to reach here. They were met at the station by large number of local Knights and were escorted in pro- cession through the principal streets to their quarters at the Parker house. The fine appearance of the visitors, who were mounted on black horses, evoked much enthusiasm along the route. The escort consisted of 500 members of Boston com mandaries.
 The decorators are still busy, but their work is nearing completion, and when it is finished it will be the most elaborate and beautiful ever seen in this city.
