FRAILTIES OF FRANCE.
Moral LeprOsy Prevaienf-D Degeneration
Taints All laSseS.

Moral LeprOsy Prevaieni-De generatio N
Taints All classes.
The moral state of France is attract
ing increased attention from students of
the theories of Lombroso and Nordau,
and abundance of material is furnished
to them by the Paris newspapers, which
almost daily have to chronicle events so
bizarre, sometimes SO monstrous, that
they can be explained only as symptoms
of the moral sickness of the nation.
Taken separately they would need no
abstruse scientific theories to recount for
them, but grouped they seem to point I'M
mistakably to what Nordau calls degen-
GRAFTON.
The decadent literature of France has
been discussed fully; now critics are
turning their attention to the fact that
that literature only typifes the ordinary
life of large proportion of the people.
Thus the popular clamor evoked last
spring by the attempt to suppress bull
fighting in the south of France might be
attributed merely to devotion to what
had been for centuries an institution of
the land, but studied in connection with
the wave of suicide and murder that is
sweeping over France, it may be taken to
point to a love of bloodshed, to a revival
of fierce instincts no longer restrained by
the discipline of civilization.
In Paris it is so common for man and
woman to die together by the revolver
that the newspapers take small notice OF
such occurrences and sometimes group
several of them under the heading of
Dramas of Passion" 1t is quite the
thing for a woman to kill her unfaithful
lover or husband his erring wife, and
this is so well recognized that the &C
quittal of the slayer, after a sensational
trial, is the rule.

Dinner Jacket.

The uncertainty about the dinner
jacket" Tuxedo coat, or Cowes coat,
whatever it may be called, is, we OBJ
serve, felt in London as well as in New
York. Vogue, in the latter city, has
much trouble in explaining to it's mascu-
line readers when they should wear their
dinner jackets. We note in a recent
number of q London society weekly an
answer to several CORRESPONDENTS asking
when the dinner jacket may be worn"
The fashion paper replies that the dinner
jacket may be worn at any small dinner
when those present are either related or
are on very intimate terms with each
other. The jacket is often seen now at
the theaters, even when the man has
ladies with him, but the jacket cannot be
worn at a ball, in public gatherings, or
at a dinner the hostess of which is only
a slight acquaintance" The perplexing
problems connected with the dinner
Jacket seem to be accommodating.

A Hermit Miner.

An old man entered a leading hard
ware. store in Washington, Wash, and
bought some blasting powder. His white
hair hung low upon his shoulders, his
beard dropped far down upon his breast.
He looked like veritable Rip Van Win
kle just awakened from his slumbers.
It is not often that he comes to town,
and when he does he leaves as soon as
his supplies are purchased. Up in the
mountains the old man has q cabin,
where he has lived alone for many years,
raising barely enough corn on the rocky
land he owns to sustain his existence.
For half a century he has been digging
for gold, and from time to time enough
has been found in a little stream near
his cabin to stimulate his search. But
there has never been sufficient to pay for
opening up tunnel, and the old man has
been digging one for fifty years. He
works alone, for he is afraid to confde
his secret to any man. From morning
until night he digs, and when rock
is reached that has to be blasted, he buys
all the powder that the money he can
raise will pay for, and when that is gone
he must wait until another crop can be

One Of the ISiSerS.

DR.. G.. A. Newcomb of the City dis
pensary has acquired quite reputation
rs one of the promising members of the
younger generation of the profession. A
woman took fall out of him one day
last week. She has an opinion he doesn't
know how to doctor little bit, and she
had no hesitancy in telling MIN so. The
woman's child had a severe attack of
Group and DR.. Newcomb prescribed an
emetic. Next day she called on him
with fire in her eye and scorn on her
lips. "And you call yourself doctor,
do you?' she said, looking at him con
temptuously; "well, you amt much of a
doctor. What was them powders you
gave me for the child?'' THAT was an
emetic, the proper thing" replied the
doctor. ''The proper thing! Well, let
me tell you they wouldn't stay on the
child's stomach a minute. They made
him sick every time. st. Louis Post

Titles are Bogus.

A Russian author named Lobanoff, is
causing dismay in France by his proposal
to publish book in which he win show
up the spuriousness of most of the French
titles of nobility. He says that when
during the revolution of a century ago,
1900 mobiles fed from France, many of
them died in exile, leaving no heirs, and
that their titles were usurped by Wallets,
BARRIERS, stewards and others OF their
servants. Lobanoff has been twenty
years making researches into the ar
chives of various European countries, in
which the French emigres took refuge,
and has found, as he claims, that at least
two-thirds of the present French titles

Although Alexander Dumas fls did not
concern himself with politics, he was
one of the few Frenchmen who, on the
outbreak Of the war, foresaw a disas-
trous result for their country. NJ. Paul
Dhormoys, who had an opportunity of
learning the opinion Of many of the lead
ing men of his time, states that Dumas
was the only man ne then knew who did
not think France invincible. IAN this, -

Grand opera and the Coincide Franchise

The receipts of the Grand opera have
steadily increased since 1892, when there
was a deficit of 100000, and now there
is a small balance to the good. The
nightly average for 1894 was $780,

night. At the Coincide Franchise the
receipts for the year fell off $85, O0O but
as the expenses were cut down by $780,
600, surplus was shown. The Opera
Oomique lost $4,000 and the Odeon

have not been paid since Septem-
Der, 1896, or thereabouts.
What went with the 100000 OF
taxes, that were collected? OF
course, it was disbursed; but to
whom was this 100000 paid and
for what services? This is what
the public desires to know and has
right to know, too.
The council should require all
special funds to be kept separate
and distinct, for the specific pur-
pose of paying special claims
against these funds. And they
should require the auditor, in his
quarterly statements, to give the
amount of each and every special
fund, remaining on hand, and then
to credit it with the disbursements
made out of each fund.
BE should be required also, to
give the amount of the general
fund on hand and to credit IL with
all claims paid from such general
fund, during the last qnarter.
By this system, the auditors
quarterly statement would convey
all needed information to the peo-
pie and nip in the bud all misap-
prehension and misconstruction.
1t is the imperative duty of the
council to retrench the expenses of
the city so as to make such ex-
penses correspond with the rev.
enue. And this retrenchment has
already been put off for too long a
time.
Begin by looping off the assis-
tants to city officers, created since
March, 1898, and requiring the city
officers to perform the duties be-
longing to their several offices.
Abolish the office of recorder, and
require the mayor thereafter to
discharge the duties of recorder.
The mayor receives a salary of
$500 per annum-$1, 100 more
than district judge in Texas is
paid-and he can well afford to
devote IL hours per week to trying
cases in the recorders court.

ants, have no recorder except their
