THE HOPE OF FRANCE
The Recovery of tho Province of
Alsace-Lorraine
ENCOURAGED BY RUSSIAN ALLIANCE.
Germans WIN Ask Premier Meline For
an Explanation of His Message to the
Alsace-Lorraine Society--A Bit
ter Feeling In Berlin.

Paris. Sept. S.-The attitude OF the
French press and public toward Ger
many is distinctly more resolute than It
was before the Franco Russian alliance
was announced.
Various rumors concerning the gov
ernment's intentions are in circulation.
among others one to the effect that
upon the reassembling of the chamber
of deputies NJ Hanotaux, the minister
of foreign affairs, will make an i'm
portant speech on the subject OF the
alliance, which will be in the nature Of
manifesto and will reverberate
throughout the country. and that the
chamber will Immediately adjourn
without transacting any further busi-
ness.
1t is also reported that the govern
ment intends to dissolve the chamber
and appeal to the country in the assur-
ance that the popularity of the Meline
cabinet is so great that the whole radi-
cal opposition win be swept away.
This effervescence is partly due to the
celebrations of the anniversary Of Sc
dan day.

Germanr NIar ACE ouestIons.

Berlin, Sept. at is asserted upon
reliable authority that the German gov
ernment will demand from France an
explanation of the dispatch sent by M.
Meline, the French premier. in reply
to the message of congratulation of the
Alsace- Lorraine society upon the sign
ing Of the Franco Russian alliance. in
which dispatch M. Meline expressed the
hope of a reunion Of Alsace-Lorraine
with the French republic. Germany, Il
is announced also, will demand satis
faction for the excesses committed be-
fore the German embassy in Paris on
the evening of President Faure's return
from his visit to Russia.
The anniversary Of the battle Of Sc
dan was celebrated here with much less
enthusiasm than usual the evident de-
sire being to divest the anniversary Of
all elements irritating to France. Flags
were flying from the public buildings.
and the school children were given a
holiday.
Still smarting under the completion
of the Franco Russian alliance, most Of
the leading German papers embraced
the opportunity to convey to France a
hint that she must abandon any idea
Of the restoration Of Alsace-Lorraine.
The Tageblatt says that when France
shall have learned to accustom herself
to this irrevocable fact the celebration
of Sedan day will be superluous.
| The democratic organs urge the abo-
lition of what they term a useless cele-
bration.
The evening papers comment severe
~ upon Premier Melines want Of tac
in sending a reply to the message o.
| congratulation of the Alsace-Lorrain'
society upon the signing of the ALI
ance, thus encouraging the members il
an act which from the German view
point involves high treason. It is be
lieved, however. that the incident vii
be amlcably adjusted by its being de
clared a misunderstanding.

A species of baboon fnhabiting the
colony of the Cape Of Good Hope has be-
come a pest to the farmers by destroy
ing their lambs. The baboons haunt
the clumps Of cactus scattered through
the fields and exhibit much cunning in
keeping out ofthe reach of their human
enemies. It is asserted that they have
taken note of the fact that women do
not carry firearms, and therefore need
not be feared. But when a man appears
the balloons instantly take TO their
heels. On this account the farmers have
lately devised the plan of dressing in
women's apparel when they set out to
shoot baboons.-Youth's Companion.

Another Temperance Lesson.

There is no known antidote for the
bite Of the tiger in Australia. Persons
bitten diealmost instantly, and the gov
ernment has a standing offer Of e1,0O0

Some few years ago young man ac-
tualIy discovered an eficacious anti
dote. To prove its value he allowed
himself to be bitten repeatedly by
snakes in full possession of the power
to kill. One day he gave an exhibition
before some government officials, but,
being much under the influence of
liquor, he did not recollect what he had
done with his antidote. and he died
shortly after the snake bite, his secret

GREASE STOPPED ENGINE.
Exciting Incident Responsible for

Exciting Incident Responsible for
Niclsnnming of an Eastern HORd.
"When the road was first built" the
,tory-telling railroad man continued,
(which now runs from Harrisburg to
Eanandaigua, N. Y, it was nicknamed
he 'Davy Crockett and for many years
thereafter the name clung. 1t was
brought about in this way:
"One dark night, when the conductor
was taking three passenger cars
through to Sunbury, he noticed the
headlight of a locomotive in the rear.
He instantly informed the engineer of
the fact and both began speculaung
what it meant. The train was running
at a high rate of speed, but the head
light in the rear was gaining steadily
on them. AS there was no lights in
the rear of the headlight, they cor
cluded it must be an empty engine.
That road twists in and out among the
mountains and skirts the banks of the
Susquehanna river in such way as
to permit anyone looking back to OBJ
serve what is going on in the rear for
considerable distance.
'sThe conductor ordered the engineer
to put on more steam, and the latter
pulled the throttle wide open. Then
followed a wild chase through the
night. Pursuer and pursued tore along
at the highest speed. Everybody on the
cars believed that the engineer of the
pursuing engine was either drunk or
rrazy.
"At last bright idea struck the en-
gineer. He recalled the fact that a
locomotive can make little progress on
greasy rails. The contents of two
large cans of lard oil were poured on
the tracks from the rear of the last
passenger coach. The idea proved a
great one. Soon the headlight of the
pursuing engine grew dim in the dis
tance. When it was safe to do so the
train stopped and backed up to solve
the mystery. A very funny sight was
revealed.

THE WILD HOG OF MEXICO.
A vicious Brute which Seems to Have
No Notion of Fear.


No Notion of Fear.
'The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary, or wild
hog, of Mexico" says C. w. Bartlett, OF
Laredo, Tex. "This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. I
have never seen it turn hairs breadth
out of its path for any living thing.
Man is its special bette noir. 1t displays
an intelligence in fighting the human
strangely at variance with its apparent
ly complete lack of mental instinct
They are rarely found singly, but go in
droves of from hundreds to thousands.
Their ability to scent men is particular
" marked have known a drove OF
them to scent a man n mile off and
strike as straight for him as an arrow
flies. There is no use to try TO frighten
them with guns. The cannonading of
full battery would have no more effect
on them than the popping of fire
cracker. The only thing to do when
they get after you is to run away from
them as fast as a horse can carry you.
And then there is no certainty that
they won't catch you. They are near
ly as swift as a horse and their endur-
nnce is as great as their viciousness.
"a friend of mine encountered a
drove of them in wild part of Mexico
few years ago and his escape was
miraculous. He very foolishly shot and
wounded q number Of them. Then he
took refuge in tree. The peccaries
kept him in the tree all that day and
through the night. They circled round
the tree, grunting and squealing their
delight at the prospect of a feast. He
soon exhausted his ammunition and
brought down a peccary at each fire.
But this had no terrors for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour
they would have guarded that tree un-
/ til my friend, through sheer exhaustion,
dropped from his perch and allowed
them to make n meal off him. The
wildcats and tigers that infest the Mex
lean wilds flee from the peccaries with
instructive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path. st. Louis Re

Control Something Universally Need

There have been in recent years sew
eral instances Of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
millionaires over night. and a bicycle
and patent medicine promoter in Eng
land made $4,000, 600 in as many weeks,
says Leslie's Weekly. There are sew
eral thousand people who are each
worth $1,00O,OoO or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most OF
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with part of one cent Of the
nickel they collect, because there are
so many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality Of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
on each pound the Americans buy they
can make n profit all the way from 20
to so per cent. The cSal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm
proved the product. but its little frac-
tion makes the greatest money-making
enterprise in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper Is
getting a bigger income than the pres
ident Of the United States. A cheaI
