indicate another on the stairs and four or
five more in the various workrooms.
The father and mother may or may not
be workers in the factory. If the family is
large enough the mother is the house
keeper, and the onerous duty of the father
IS to escort his offspring to and from work
lie goes 70 the mill with them in the
morning and knows that they are all in
side the gate before the hour for starting
the machinery. At noon he conveys them
home to dinner and back to the factory
At night he may come to take them home,
but this is not an imperative duty. On
pay day he comes to the factory and
draws the wages of all of them.
mile from Dayville, and about FIVE
miles from this city, is a factory from
which a man. who can neither read Tor
write, draws over $50 a month for the la
Dor If his children. The size of his fam
lily Is indicated by an extract from The
factory books showing that the children
earn from 81 to $3.50 per week
This Frenchman is merely one of many
who have found profit in a large family.
He Is now making hay while the sun
shines, and in a few years he will retire
TO farm in Canada with from $1,000 TO
$1,000 in his canvas bag. There he Will
live naDob among his people, the re-
mainder of his life.
This child farming is but one act Of the
drama Of French factory hfe. The years
during which all the children work and
the father draws the wages are necessa-
rily few. The fund for life Of case must
be made quickly. The female child, which
at IA is the source Of greatest profit. is
ready to marry one OF her own class at
10. and she does so promptly The new
husband and wife will work on In the mill
for the next five years with occasional
Interruptions, when there are additions
20 the family and then they vanish.
They have gathered their savings and
gone to Canada to raise a family They
make no fuss about the matter. II Is the
regular thing. Ten years later. or even
sooner, they will be back with big
string Of boys and girls 20 earn money for
them; they will gather the profits and re-
tire for life TO the Canadian farm as their
fathers ana mothers did.
II is noticeable OF late years that the
operatives are more IN haste TO be rich
than formerly. They rush back to the
factories with smaller families than were
common twenty years ago. Indeed, IL Is
rarely now that families OF more than
thirteen are found, and few In the factory
tenements exceed ten IN number.

roWea some money from my friends. Inat
is what Is referred TO, and If my brother
likes TO lend me a sum of money to adjust
| these debts don't see that people outside
have anything to do with it. But you
can say in regard to this matter that IL is
in no way connected with my official posi-
ton as vice consul. 1t concerned my
private life, and nothing else
THE statements that I obtained extor-
tomato fees from shippers. that l con-
nived al classification Of declarations. that
l had been in some difficulty with an
American widow over a large sum OF
money entrusted to me for investment,
and that I had been accused Of irregular
ity by the French government are abso-
lutte fa.sehoods, without a shadow of foun-
dation."
And what about the hotel story?"
What l did in that affair is all en-
bodied In letters that may be seen in the
letter book of the consulate. On reeeiv-
ing letter from the Boston gentleman
asking that an inquiry should be male,
l went to the hotel and saw the secretary,
TO whom the bank notes had been handed
by Mr.. Burdett. The man insisted he
had given the money TO the owner, and
had handed 100 francs left by
the latter to Mr.. Burdett He said, how
ever, rather than that there should be
further bother, he would send 5000
francs more to Mr.. Burdett. I tod
him il was extremely unlikely that Mr..
Burdett would accept, and, in fact, the
man having made such an offer, convinc-
ed me he had never given the notes to
the owner. That was my opinion, and
wrote to that effect to Mr.. Burdett
THE statement that 1 received check
or any money whatever from the secre-
tary of the hotel is a lie"
And there is no truth in the American
widow story?'
"None vhatax
Nor is the statement that you are liv-
ing in London with California woman,
upon whom you have spent much
money!"
The report is absolutely false. 1 sus-
pect that is some old Paris yarn. Since
came here have been engaged entirely
with large English law firm, and have
done good deal of travelling about the
country. As you see, there is no mystery
about my movements or where / am liv-
| ing, and if any one who has a right to de-
mand it wants any explanation as to my
past conduct, either in regard to the Paris
consulate or anything else, I am to be
| found here"
How do you imagine that these accusa-
tons came to be made in New York;"
'Oh, have a good idea of that. There
| is an American gentleman who would like
| the appointment of vice consul in Paris,
and who is making big effort to secure it,
| MY name mas Deeu put forward Dy IFleHdS
in America for the position, and from the
| fact that this old story has been sprung
| upon the public just after the appointment
of the new consul general, it seems to me
| that it is simply an attempt to swamp my
chances OF appointment"
"Then, you consider there is no reason
why you should not again occupy the post
| of vice consult"
| There is nothing whatever in my rec
ord TO prevent me filling that position"

A FAVOR TO THE BICYCLIsTs.
a Suggestion TO the Park and Tree
Commission.

A Suggestion to the Park and Tree
Commission
Editor Morning News: While the walks
in Forsyth park are undergoing a remod-
cling desire to make a suggestion to the
city council and the park commission,
which. 1 think, is worth their consideca-
ton. 1t is proposed, 1 believe, to widen
the central walk in the park to the width
of Bull street. This, I think, is a good
change for, while giving more room on the
walk. it will afford a beautiful vista
through the park. The other improve
ment here suggested is to make the grade
of this new walk IN the park flush with
the Bull street pavement at the intersec-
ton of Castor street. and that, too, for
the entire width of Bull street Not only
would this improve the appearance, hut
it would afford a much needed means for
the bicycl!st to pass from Bull street to
the park sidewalk without running the
risk of breaking their own necks a. well
as those of passing pedestrians as they
now do in crossing the narrow sidewalk
| Every bicyclist in the city recognizes this
as a dangerous place, and there should
be some steps taken TO remedy it. Bicy-
clists have a right on the park sidewalks
ana IL Is a very feaSOnaDle ana proper
privilege, but it is curious fact that
while there are thousands of bicycles in
the city which use these roadways daily
the city has never provided any means
whatever for passing from them to the
streets The bicycle is not a mere toy. it
is a practical means of locomotion used
by all classes of our citizens, for both
business and pleasure, and the city should
| recognize il as such. 1t will cost but lit
tie to make the change suggested, as the
| engineering difficulties are very easily
overcome. Come gentlemen, get together
on this point and consider it at your next
meeting. Citizen
