too, had received some hundreds OF sim
liar missives.
"Last Saturday." he said, lone Of M
Ressegnier's papers printed there words
when are they going to rid us Of this
Jaures by good bludgeon stroke be
tween his neck and his CROWN
"If such words had been printed in 6
Socialist paper" inquired the speaker o.
the government, "would you not already
have begun a prosecution? Have you
done so in this caseP do not ask you
to do it. Such things hardly count.
"One day, maybe, we shall be struck
down by one Of the very workmen we
defend to-day. 1t is from the same suf
fering populace that reactionary as well
as revolutionary violence proceeds. II
is the same surging sea which, after
having shattered the vessels Of two hos
tile fleets, has sometimes reunited the
fragments in it's peaceful depths.
"During the last few days have pom.
dered the singularly prophetic words
uttered by Danton few years before the
fall Of the old regime. Woe unto them
that provoke revolutions, but woe also
unto them that carry them outP
"But, after all, what matter? The only
consideration of Importance is that we all
act according to our ideal, thatwe bravely
do the work Of men until we repose for
ever in silence and in night"
Before the Deputies could recover from
the emotion produced M. Jaures sprang
upon the Chamber proposition that M
Brisson be chosen as arbitrator between
the conflicting parties at Carmaux. This
was received with applause. Had it been
possible to have voted then it would
carried.
But NJ. Leygues, Minister Of the In.
terror, made his way to the tribune and
in a halting manner attempted to ex
plain away the accusations brought by
the Socialist speaker against the gov
ernment. M. Leygues assured the
Chamber that the account given Of the
events in question by government func-
tionaries did not tally with M. Jaures's
description.
The Socialists Immediately demanded
an impartial inquiry. The Minister re-
fused. Thereupon the Socialists lost
patience and speedily converted the
Chamber into a pandemonium. Insults
groans and menaces echoed across the
benches.
The same treatment was meted out tc
M. Trarieux, Minister of Justice. His
explanations were, if possible, more
feeble than those Of M. Leygues and in
censed the Socialists still more.
M. Jaures started up from his seat
and made towards the tribune appar
emily with the intention Of administer
ing summary ohastisement to the Of
Tending Minister. He was seized by
comrades and carried bodily back to his
seat.
Meanwhile the violence of the Social
lists had frightened the Chamber into
supporting the government, and when
the vote was taken the Socialist mo
tion was lost, albeit by a mere handful
of votes.
The speech of NJ. Jsures had produced
too deep an impression, however, to be

II was Jaures' Speech That Overthrow the
French Ministry.


day without a peer in France as an orator.
The crowning effort of his career thus
far was his seven-hours' defense in the
Chamber Of Deputies of the Carmaux
strikers. That speech virtually over
threw the Ribot Ministry.
NJ. Ribot had been nine months and
two days at the head of affairs. During
that time he had managed to ALLEVIATE
in turn the sympathies Of the various
political factions. The ultra-virtuous
professed to be Mortified by the gov
ernment's attitude tow rds the Deputies
implicated in the Southern railroad
scandals, while the Socialists and Radi-
Gals had vowed vengeance for the treat
ment received by the Carmaux strikers
at the hands of government officials.
The Cabinet had the occupation OF
Antananarivo to it's credit, and fondly
hoped that successful territory-grab-
bing, like charity, would cover a multi
tude of sins.
Taking for his text the priVations OF
the Carmaux strikers, whose counsellor
and friend he had been orthree months,
NJ. Jaures attacked the Cabinet in a
speech which in point of eloquence,
mastery of facts and biting sarcasm sur
passed any oratorical effort made in a
French Assembly, it is said, since the
great Revolution of 1889.
NJ. Jaures comes of an ..aristocratic
family. He was originally professor OF
philosophy at Toulouse university, but
soon quilted the professional desk for the
Deputy's seat. At first moderate
Radical he gradually evolved into a
Radical-Socialist, and finally into an
avowed Collectivist. With experience
his oratorical powers improved. His
speeches lost their quondam academi-
cal SAVIOR, acquired greater sorority and
precision and. became less unconVincingly
sublime" His voice, too, increased in
power and flexibility.
His recent speech in the Chamber was
remarkable for clear statement Of fact,
bitter irony, passionate denunciation Of
injustice, delicate analysis, mocking re-
monstrance, quick repartee, sonorous
defamation and forcible appeals to
generous sentiment. He began with a
dispassionate history Of the conflict
Then he denounced the cupidity of M
Ressegnier, director of the Carmaux
works, and the partiality of government
officials.
A reference to the policy of NJ. Charles
Dupuy wrung from that politician an iu-
dignant protest, against which M. Jaures
entered passionate counter protest.
So stinging was the rebuke that NJ. Du-
puy collapsed, grew red in the face and
sat on his bench staring into vacancy
during the remainder of the sitting.
Meanwhile the Chamber rang with ap-
plause. One by one the Ministers OF the
Interior, Of Justice and of Finance
writhed under the Socialist speakers
lash. M. Jaures left no vile unem-
ployed to discredit and discomft his sd-
versaries.
Occasionally, indeed, he prejudiced his
cause by transgressing the limits Of good
taste and by indiscreet illusions to
personal failings of his opponents. But

FIAT MONEY"
Discussed Before the Massachusetts Re
form Club.

Boston, + ebruary a." Fiat money
and its effects" was the subject dis
cussed before the Massachusetts Reform
Club at Young's this evening. Horace
White, editor of the New York Evening
Post, was the first speaker. and he urged
a strong battle for sound money lie
called upon the members of the club to
see that no man was nominated for Pres
ident or Vice President who wavered on
this gu estion. He warmly praised
President Clevelapd's action in negotia-
ting new loan, and causing the fact to
be known; otherwise specie payment
would have been suspended two weeks
ago. Alluding to the cutlery that The
loan will yield too large profit to those
who have taken it, he asked where were
the men who would have taken le Tor
less, and unless the Presidents accusers
are prepared to show where the govern
ment could have obtained gold on better
terms, they had better keep their
mouths shut.
Henry W. Peabody, of Kidder, Peabody
& Co., the Boston bankers, made a
strong argument for gold monometai-
ism. He was followed by Albert l.. Kip
ley, president OF the Hide and Leather
Bank of Boston.
John &. Burt, of the Old Colony Trust
Company, outlined plain by whieha the
United States shall issue credit notes,
redeemable at the national banks, and
the present issue Of greenbacks be with
drawn. Speeches were made by other
mem bers of the club.

milton for his business enterprise ssand
courage, and although his profits may be
small ne turns his horses rapidly.

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
An Old Man Shot Down in the City Streets
No Clue 10 His Assailant.

Southington, Conn.,. February b.
Charles Rugg, aged Is, a well known
hardware merchant of this place, was
shot and probably fatally injured at
O'Clock tonight. while on the way home
from his place of business. Mr.. Rugg
closed his store about z O'Clock, and
started to walk to his home in Plants
vile, the electric cars being out of order
While he was passing through Bristol
street. an unknown man fired three
shots at him. The assailanb started on
the iun down fhe street, firing fourth
shot as he went All four of the bullets
took effect. Mr.. Rugg was carried to
house near by, and a physician sum
moned. Late tonight Mr.. Rugg was very
weak, and it was thought he would not
live many hours. He does not know his
assailant. and cannot give even faint
description of him. 1t is supposed that
the.motive for the shooting was rob
berry, as it was known that MIR. Rugg
carried home with him every night the
cash taken in at the store during the
day. The place where the shooting oc-
CURED was a well lighted spot. Mr..
Rugg has wife and family.

BATH is MAD.
Thorouehlv Diseusted with Her Patched
Up Water Works-The Purchase OF a FIRE
Boat Contemplated.
Especial to the pREss.)

fSpeClal To the IeEf97J
Bath, Me-, February Is. Ever since
the system of water works was put into
Bath there has been trouble con-
tinuously, and there has been many
warm fights both in and out of the city
council, but this year it has been worse
than ever, and many of our leading cltl-
zens declare that the contract has been
broken, and favor abandoning the by
drant service for which is paid nearly
$4,000 per year rental.
The first of the week men were at
work repairing the pipe in the Kennebec
which connects us with Lake Nequasset,
in Woolwich. They had that break
nearly mended and the section pipe
which connects the wells at Thompson
brook with the pump burst. That
stopped the water from that source, so
Neuu asset water was turned on, and the
cement in the newly repaired joint blew
ont, causing the supply from there TO
stop. it has been continual case OF
patchwork ever since the system was
put in. The insurance rates are way up
and the people are ugly.
Ex-Mayor James G. Ledyard, who is
also at present "A mem Der of the city gov
eminent, and one of the heaviest real
estate owners in town, says something
must be done, and thinks that Bath
would be better protected if we should
equip fire boat and add another steam
err to the fire department, and believes
that it could be done with the money we
now spend for hydrant rental.
Ex-Mayor John 0. Shaw says that
WITH the mouey we spend for hydrant
service we could have a frst-class fire
department.
Seth L. Snpe, who will probably be
the candidate for mayor on citizens
ticket. says that we should 30 something
to reduce insurance rates and properly
protect the city.
Harry E. Stetson. possible mayoralty
candidnte for the Republicans, thinks
the city has been fooled with long
enough, and that some decided stand
should be taken regarding it.

Will Interest Physicians Throughout

The Facts Read Like an Aston
ishing Story.
But Every Word is True as Can be
Easily Proved.

West Port, n. VA most extraordi-
nary thing has happened here. The facts
are of such startling nature that our
people are not done talking about them
yet.
We have all heard of splitting head
aches"
A thousand times have we heard peo-
pie who had a severe nervous, neuralgia
or sick headache, exclaim that their
head ached as though it would split.
But here is a case of most terrible
headache, where the head ala IN 1acI
split-that is by the awful severity of
the disease, the bones of the head actual
ly opened. Most of the people here know
about the facts of this most astonishing
case, and several of our doctors examined
and treated the patient unsuccessfully,
and they will vouch for the truth OF
these wonderful things.
Theiiady herself, Mrs. Fred Z. Lasher,
Jr., is a well-known resident here, and
gives all the facts just as they occurred
in her own words.
aFor thirteen years I have been Attic
ted with terrible headaches night and
day. AT night the blood rushed into
my head and into my throat so that
would just raise my head and spit great
mouthfuls of blood.
"The bones of my skull were all
opened so that the doctor could lay his
thumb right into the opening on to my
brain. I could sleep only an hour or
two, nights, and was so nervous that l
could not sit at the table, for just the
motion OF the mouths of my family
seemed to me like they were all making
faces at me, and I was obliged to get up
and walk the floor. Two doctors who
attended me, claimed that I was on the
verge of insanity. I was under the doc
tors care for nine years. All the way
/ could do any work was to have ban
dage tight around my head SO as to sup
port it, as though my two hands were
around it.
Z" | got so that I would fall Ranywhere,
and all these years I got no relief from
the doctors, and found no help until |
began to use DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy.
"That seemed to have the same effect
on my head as sitting under shady
tree with cool refreshing breeze blow
ing on my head. Nobody can tell what
I suffered all those years. I commenced
using DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, for | thought I must do
something, or should soon be in an
aslyum.

THE "sWAP" DECLARED OFF.
Peculiar Litigation Between a Norwa.
Wheelman and Horseman.

Paris, Me-, February IA peeulia,
bicycle case, involving prominent peo-
pie and raising new law points was be-
fore the oxford Supreme Court today.
John Il Hamblin of Norway exchanged
a bicycle for a warranted horse with
Frank T.. Brett, and returned the horse
rs unsound, but Brett did not return
the bioyle. Hamblin brought action
for the value of the bicycle The judge
stopped the trial and ruled that return,
ing the horse reseinded the trade. and
the horse became again Brett's and the
bicycle Hamblin's. The plaintiff might
replevin the wheel, but could not bring
action in assumpsit to recover the value
of the bicycle from Brett.
The Supreme Court will probably
close Monday.

Gabriel S. Smith, also resident OF
this place, says:
aI am acquainted with Mrs. Lasher,
and can vouch for the truth of her state
mept."
Hon. Carlos L.Smith, Justice of the
Peace, of 0 Barre St., Montpelier. VT,
states that from his knowledge, and in
vestigation of the case, he knows that
the facts as above stated are absolutely
true, and that Mrs. Lasher was perfectly
cured of her terri BILE condition by DIR.
Grene's Nelvura blood and nerve remedy.
This wonderful remedy cerainly has
the largest and most remarkable num-
her of cures of any medicine in the world.
Tt would seem that no affiiction or dis
ease can resist its sweeping curative
powers.
If it can cure such a terri BILE case as
this, certainly ali other cases of head
ache, neuralgia. rheumatism, weak back,
pains in the back or side, and all weak
ness of nerves, or debility of body, yield
as if by magic to the health giving and
strengthening action of this grand medi-
cine. Such trout les are always worse in
the spring aud this best of all spring
medicines should be taken now.
1t is purely vegeta hle, and perfectly
harmless, and for this reason, and be-
cause it is SO sure to cure, physicians
prescribe and recommend it's use. 1t is
