Repudiates the Platform as "Damnably
Unpatriotic and I'm Republican"
DETROIT, Mich, June 10.-The
Tribune, one Of the oldest daily news
papers in the West, and the leading
Republican paper of Michigan since
the birth of the party, unequivocally
repudiates the action of the Repub-
lican national convention in declaring
absolutely for the gold standard as
against bimetallism. 1t says that
while the partv's candidate is all right,
"the platform on the only important
issue before the country is damnably
unpatriotic and un-Republican. No
ones Republicanism can be impugned
if he continues to stand squarely on
the national and state platforms of
the past, and if he repudiates utterly
the false and un-American fulmina-
ton Of st. Louis conspiracy" and
advises active campaigning against.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
4 French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by a story told of Melingue, French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in a piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The.weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 "What! Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.

About One-Sixth of the English Periodi-
 calls Are Devoted to Sport.
 It may give some idea of the place of sport in English life to the sedentary American to say that is difficult to find an Englishman between IS and 65, in fair health, and not supported by the rates, who is not performer at some kind of sport or interested in some phase of it. Of the 673 reviews and magazines of nonreligious character printed in England, says the Forum, one in six is largely devoted to some form of out-of-door sport or occupation.
 Between 1880 and 1885, according to a private index kept in the British mu- scum, there were 266 books published on the one subject of sport or athletics; between 1885 and 1890. 412, and, all though the figures for the last five years are not at hand, the number of books on the same subjects promises to De even larger, almost forty books on golf alone appearing during the last five years. Nor does this list include books on topics gernain to the subject, such as books dealing with voyages, geography, history, biography and trade, of which there were 73S pub ished in London in 1893, and probably more than thousand during the last year.
 In word, John Bull loves the fresh air. He is sportsman, an athlete, a soldier, sailor, a traveller, colonist, rather than student, and all the fig ures bear me out in making the state ment During those horrible days in the Crimea, these sport-lo7ing ''young barbarians" were ''all at play" when they were not fighting; racing their ponies, getting up cricket matches, and off shooting such game as there was. One family-the Pelhams-have hunted the Brocklesby pack of hounds for more than 175 years.

My waist measurement was reduced from fifty-seven inches to forty-three inches, a difference of four teen inches. Previous to taking your remedies I suffered from shortness of breath and palpitatdon of the heart, and could not take any exercise what ever, and my ankles refused to sup port my weight. Now I can exercise freely; the shortness of breath has left me, as has also my heart trouble While taking your remedies I made trip to the Pacific coast.

take her before the magistrate, and in
sisted on escorting her. The officers
made no objections to these arrange
ments, STIMULATING, only, that they
should occupy the remaining two
seats in the carriage, so as TO keep
the charge in view. In this manner
the soi-distant princess was taken to
the town hall, where the magistrates
were then sitting. The examination
occupied a very long time, yet the case
was so clearly made out against the
adventures that she was fully COM
,mitted for trial. And the same day a
report OK the proceedings was dis
patched to the home secretary, with a
petition in behalf of Eudora Leaton,
falsely convicted of poisoning her un-
cle's family. and reported missing
since the fire. This was met by a re-
spite of the sentence until after the
trial Of Madame Pezzilini should eth
er confirm or refute the testimony
upon which the latter had been in
dicted.
The assiZes were still in session, and
trial was fixed for an early day.
Antony More to the surprise of ev-
cry one, survived his great injuries,
and was able to appear in court as a
witness against her. His testimony
was clear, conclusive. and corroborat-
ed by certain facts produced in evil
dcnce. The trial occupied three days,
at the end of which the self-styled
princess was convicted and sentenced.
