The French Legion Of Honor Discredited
by the Many Recent Scandals.
The long series Of scandals during
the past year CT two in Paris have cul-
minated in the serious discrediting Of
the French Legion of Honor, or rather Of
its management, which has failed to
purge its roll from time to time. Near
ly every journalist who is now accused
of blackmail, for instance, wears the
coveted red ribbon. There is council
of the order which is empowered to
cashier any member guilty of dishon-
orabe conduct A chevalier who had.
for instance. broken his word of honor
might be struck off the rolls. This is
the theory. In practice the council is
content with expelling bankrupts, duel
ers and fugitives from justice.
The attack ON the government for its
shortcomings in this respect brought
the present cabinet within an ace of de-
feat. The critics quoted. among other
cases, that of well known company
promoting baron. who had numherless
difficulties in the French law courts
Most of his companies went to smash.
A captain in the French army, ruined
through his faith in the baron's pro-
spectuses, gave him horsewhipping.
The baron kept the whipping investor s
money and the ribbon of the Legion of
Honor. A deputy moved a resolution
to call upon the government to remind
the council of the order of its duty to
deal vigorously with unworthy mem
bers. The government declining to ac-
cept the motion, it was rejected by the
narrow majority of $50 to 234.-Paris

A Living Wonders Wrath.

Barney Baldwin, the "only man ever
known to live with his neck broken, A."
holds forth daily in st. Louis to the de-
light of crowds who gaze at him at SO
much per gaze. Barney was on exhibit
ton, as usual, and ex-Congressman John
Glover happened to be member of a
party that was passing. An attempt was
made to rope" the ex-congressman
into the place. and some words ensued
between him and one of the broken
necked wonders employees.
Barney took hand in the struggle
which followed and smote ex-Congress-
man Glover on the neck.
What aroused Barney Ire was the
fact that Mr.. Glover insinuated that he
was fraud Upon the other hand, Bar
ney claims to be the only genuine show
in the country On March 10, 1887, he
was injured in railroad wreck at Bir-
mingham, Ala. His neck was broken,
and he was mangled almost beyond be-
lief, but he was pulled together by the
doctors and still lives, although he wears
as much harness Oh his person as a
horse. He claims to be worth $75, 900.

Why General Butler Was Relieved.

Colonel Woodwork told some good
stories about General Brtler. He said
that Butler himself told him as late as
1884 that he never knew tho real reason
why he was deprived Of his military
command by General Grant. 1t was
only few years ago that Woodwork
got the facts from Grants brotherin'
law, Major Dent, who was the staff
officer sent with the order for Butler S
relief. He said that while no reason
was openly given at the time, Butler
was actually displaced because he was
not a graduate Of West Point. This
would not appear on the face of it to be
a sufficient cause, but Grant explained
it to Dent one day III the course OF a
confidential interview.

his army, he might obey and be ml4hr

Fishing with a Shotgun.

The sympathy of both gunners and
fishermen ought to be aroused by the fol-
lowing story printed in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer:
"WhiIe James Miller of Albany town
ship Pa, was cunning he saw three
pound bass on one of the topmost
branches of a tall tree. He fred and
brought the fish to the ground. The
strange part of the story is explained by
the fact that the bass was fast in the
claws of big crane, which was killed
by the same shot. The bird measured
five feet across the wings"

STORIES OF THE DAY.
The Sturgeon Wss Alive and Made Things
Eun.

Euln.
A $50 pound sturgeon was on exhlbl-
tion at II. Hands fish store at the cor
ner of Fulton and Beekman streets, New
York, recently. The fish was feet
long. 1t was the biggest fish that had
been caught IN the North river this sea
son. A great many people stopped to
look at it and to feel Of it. The fishers
had hooked it in the head with boat
hook, and they thought when they got
it into their boat that it was dead.
Mr.. Hand and his men thought so
also when they laid the fish out nice and
straight on his fish bench. There were
piles of oysters and CLANS at the end Of
the bench where the sturgeon S tail was.
A little after noon boy came out Of
the fish store and stuck his finger down
into the hole made by the boat hook.
About minute later another boy came
out with pail of water and scrubbing
brush. People who were in the crowd of
unlookers say they noticed the left eye
of the sturgeon tremble just as if he
were suppressing wink. The boy grab
bed the fish by the head and began to
scrub him along the backbone. He ran
MS brush down about three times. Then
the great tail Of the sturgeon swept
around. The first swing was little one.
The second struck the pile of CLAIMS, and
bushel of clans went hurtling across
the street.
The CLANS fell around there like rain.
The crowd around tho fish stand scat
tered.
The sturgeon evidently enjoyed the
two sweeps he had made, and after a
moments pause be went at it again.
This time he whipped around the oys-
ters and struck them. They went like
the CLANS. Then he banged up and down
on the stand Finally he rolled over and
off upon the sidewalk.
Four or five Of the fish men made a
rush at the fish. He caught one in the
stomach and sent him Keeling. The 9TH
ers got him high enough up to avoid
the tail and after struggle got him
back upon the stand. The sturgeon sub

MAJOR BACoN's GENEROSITY.
His Splendid Service to an Obscure Coun-

His Splendid Service to an Obscure Coun-
try Girl.
Georgia's new United States senator
rendered splendid service to a poor,
obscure north Georgia girl few years
ago that every woman in Georgia ought
to know about. Away up in the noun
tains of the extreme northern part Of the
state man whom Major Bacon had
known. and whose friend he had been,
died, leaving little CIR. without means
and without others to depend upon for
her support. She was far removed from
good schools, and her struggles for an
edu cation. in view of the hard conditions
that hedged her about, were rather
pitiful. 1t was the ambition OF her life,
with small prospects OF realization, to
distant state. MaiJr Bacon accidentally
heard of her efforts aud ambition and
that she was capable, and without
thought of solicitation, for the girl was
a stranger TO him, he sent her check
for sufficient amount for her college
course, asking her to accept it not as a
loan but as a gift, assuring her that it
was lust such service as he would be
willing for his own daughter to accept.
The girl was poor, obscure, without
friends or influence. The service this
great hearted man did her was rendered
without reward or a hope of reward.
But the girl was deserving. She i'm
proved the opportunity so nobly given.
| Her friends increased and multiplied
throughout the state, and in Major Ba-
cons present triumphant election to the
senate, the force of his unequaled service
to the friendless girl, was larger factor
than he may yet be aware of. The wo-
men of a country have right to ot
proud whenever a friend of their sex
reaches honorable position in the law
making department. And it does not

What Esau Hunted.

about noon we saw a beast stand
ing on a mountain top looking down at
us. When we saw it, we thought that
it was a camel, but Ca!inus said that
the beast was a rhinOceros or unicorn
1t hath "a horn set In the midst OF Its
forehead 4 feet long, and whatsoever 1t
butts at it runs him through and
pounds him against the rocks. 1t IS said
by writer's on natural history that they
place a young virgin in his way, where
at he puts away from him all his fierce
ness and lays down his head and is
held thus entranced until he be taken
and slain.
Thus wrote that delightfully."- naive
observer, Father Felix Fabri, who visit
ed Sinai 400 years ago. Modern pill
grims who have followed in his foot
steps with their eyes open will at once
recognize that the animal he saw was
the bedan, or Sinaitic .ibex, which gazes
down on passing caravans from the
cliffs which tower above their route.
He is seldom visible to them unless his
shapely figure happens to be silhouetted
on the sky line. This wild goat inhabits
the mountains on either side of the Rod
sea and the steep guilies Of Moab and is
the only representative of the. deer OF
goat tribes in these regions. Esau
doubtless hunted it, and those few
sportsmen who have followed his ex-
ample will not be surprised that the un-
certaiuties of the chase cost him his
birthright Nineteenth Century.

70 M4RRY or NOT TO MARRY

THIS very serious question, 1T is sa1e
n >,,. never confronted the race petore
GA, century. But the fact is that thous-
aDds OF young men, and young women
too, are hesitating at the parting OF two
WAYS. On one road stands some bright
,,,rticnlar star which draws the youth
like a lodestone. The other way lies
prosperity, success in a chosen work. a
brilliant career-in short, fame. Whlch
will the youth choose? marriage or sue
cess?
It is perhaps only in our time thaC
both were not more or less easily attain
a1le Iii certain that the young man
or woman with high artistic longlngs
and ambitions cannot realize them ana
be hampered with family. This Is the
fact that confronts us. The conditions
of life are hard; all the good places seem
full already. There seem too many peo-
ple. too many tchildren. France is the
one country on the globe that remains
stationary as to population and yet pro-
crosses rapidly in civilization. This
shows that a stationary population is
not sign of decay in nation Perhaps
the French can teach the rest of the
world lesson here.
But the question still remains: which
is the better worth having, worldly sue
cess and honors Or a married life more
or lese happy, as the case may be? The
young person must answer 1t for him or
her self. Perhaps the matter might be
compromised somewhat, and marriage
put off until success is achieved.
