gave chase and surrounded him.

him. He struggled and fought, but
could not escape, and his silk hat was
smashed. The unfortunate man yelled

reverses the judgment of the magis-
trate, which was In favor OF the pic
ture-frame manufacturers who made
the frame. Mr.. Carroll is retired
capitalist who formerly lived in this
city, but who now resides in New York.
He testified at the trial that he did not
know the portrait and frame had been
ordered and that he would not have
consented to the order had he known 1t.
The cost of the frame was $40 and. in
Mr. CAROLS opinion, that was excess
i've. 1t was contended. on the other
hand, that Mr.. Carroll was responsible
for the debt under the law which
makes husband liable for articles pur-
chased by his wife and not incompati-
BILE with her station in life and social
position. An effort was also made to
hold Mr.. Carroll responsible on the
ground that the frame should be con-
sidered household furniture. On behalf
of Mr.. Carroll it was argued that the
frame was a luxury pure and simple.

Lively French Town.

The record for quickly increasing
population, as shown by the recent
census, says Paris correspondent,
certainly belongs to Roubaix. In 1900
tho population Of this town was $500;
at the taking of the last census it was
114.917, Of which SPOTS were Belgians.
OF this increase $500 we're immi-
grants. while the remaining 53,075 were
due to the excess of births over deaths
There is certainly no other town in
France where the population has, in
creased so rapidly. The rate of in
crease is ten times that of the rest of
France and three times that of Paris.
