Milwaukee, Feb. 21.-Judge Suther-
land, of the superior court, has made
decision knocking out the plumbers
license law passed at the last session
OF the legislature. The decision is a
severe blow TO many master plumbers
and TO many trades unions which ia
vored it. The case decided, a test one,
was that of Jacob Winkler against the
board of public works OF Milwaukee.
Winkler failed To pass the examina-
ton held by the board of examiners
and was consequently refused license.
He brought suit on the ground that the
law was invalid. TIE case will doubt
less be carried to the supreme court.

Stands for Freedom of Com merce.

The talk here Is that probably the
most vital point in the West African
situation is not the possession of terri
tory but the freedom of commerce.
Wherever the French have occupied the
hinterland of British coast colonies the
latter have been shut out from interior
trade. In the present instance the con-
troll of the Niger and the free naviga-
tion of that great waterway as an ave-
nue. of trade for the world is at stake.

London, Feb. 21.-The following tele-
gram has been received from Akassa,
on the Niger coast of West Africa:
Intelligence has arrived here that two
French expeditions are advancing to-
ward Sokoto, capital of the Sultanate OF
Sokoto. on the Sokoto river in the ex
treme north Of the Haussau states, and
that six French officers, with a force OF
200 men, have arrived at Argungu
(ArgungD and Tagga. The former town
is an important place on the Sokoto
river, about half way between the sultan's
capital and the River Niger, and IS
within the British sphere. The sultan
of Sokoto has commanded the French
force to halt about forty miles from the
capital. 1'he Royal Niger company's
representative, Deputy Agent William
Wallace, is holding the companys
force, with ammunition and stores, in
readiness, and is awaiting instructions
to assist the sultan of Sokoto and to Sc
cure French evacuation of British ter
ritory."
Situation Is Extremely Grave.
1t is asserted on good authority that
the Royal Niger company has been in
means-to compel the retirement of the
French from British territory by force.
The sultanate of Sokoto is a feudatory
of the company, and was recently placed
under British protection. The situation
Ia regarded as extremely grave. Great
Britain's forces in the protectorate dis
trict number between 5000 and 5000 men
under British officers in Lagos and the
Gold Coast hinterland, and at the
three separate points OF British and
French territorial disputes-Boria, Wac
and Argungu. The Daily Mail says IL
has received confirmation of the news
from Sokoto.
France Can Have War IL She So Desires.
The Times. commenting editorially on
the news, says ii cannot credit the re-
port and reproves the levity of the
French press regarding a grave situa-
ton. The presence of a French force at
Argungu, The Times declares, would
be so fragrant a breach OF any possible
construction of the Say Burua agree
ment of 1890 (Anglo- French treaty at
Busah) that nothing but its immedi-
ate withdrawal could avert the most
deplorable consequences" Other papers
publish similar articles. urging Lord
Salisbury TO intimate plainly that Great
Britain's limit of "squeeZeability" has
been reached. The Morning Post says:
'If France is really making deliberate
plans TO annex British territory by mill
tary occupation this can only imply that
she desires war with England. In that
case her wish will doubtless be graft

WOMEN THROW HOT SHOT.
How to Appreciate the Term "Btter

From the Detroit Free Press.
 You can't appreciate what may be em- bodied in that term bitter sweet, sighed Limpton, "till you hear two society wo- men in conversation, each hating the other fervently, yet smiling, laughing and look other as cruelty and vigorously as though it were a real duel to the death.
 "This is between us, but just came away from a little scene confirming my view of the case. Binckleys wife had called on mine. Mrs. Binckley had said somewhere that Mrs. Limpton looked pre- maturely old and that she dressed in ex- ecrable taste, considering her appearance. Of course, some good frienf told Mrs. Limpton. expected blue blazes when the two met, but the event showed far more diplomacy than Is displayed in the man. agement of international affairs When Mrs Binckley called Mrs. Limpton kissed her, clung to her hand, chided her for not coming oftener, and then, in the softest tones of solicitude, asked her if she was troubled with malaria, now prevalent You look so yellow she went on, and drawn. I always have you in mind as plump and rosy. Do take treatment dear.'
 It's nothing serious, laughed Mrs. Rinckley. The doctor tells me that per- son with strong eyes and teeth always has wonderful recuperative powers. It is only matter of a short time and not at all as though I had stepped permanently from my prime into old age.'
 "This was hot shot, for my wife has worn glasses ever since she was a little girl, and some of her prettiest teeth were supplied by dentist, but she blandly told of how many of her dearest friends who had a misleading appearance of health had gone with quick consumption, and they fell to talking about hired wirls.

 Tine Same old Fake
 Once year some New York newspa-
 per publishes story about the numper
 of milionaires in the city, telling what each
 one is worth. This story goes the rounds
 of the press, all over this country and
 Europe, and is taken up by the political
 orators and labor agitators everywhere,
 all of them apparently assuming that the
 figures are correct. The latest story of
 New York's rich men says that two are
 worth $10000O,O0O each; eight are worth
 $50 ,000 900 or more; fourteen are worth be-
 tween s10 900 and 900, and that 26O
 are worth s2000,0ee each, or more.
 It may be said of the story as whole
 that not one man in the list is worth any
 thing like the estimate. and that there are
 not 200 men in the city actually worth
 $1 100000 each. The tax commissioners ai-
 ways read this story with interest. They
 say they would like to find the rich men
 and their fortunes.
 Most of the 2S4 men classed worth $2,-
 100000 or above have their mony invested
 in personal property, stocks, bonds, mort
 gages, etc. The only large real estate
 owners in the list are the Astors and the
 Goeets The facts are that there are just forty-seven men in New York City who are assessed on personal property SlOO,O00 or more, and just two men who are as- sessed for $1 900 900 or more. William Wal dorf Astor heads the list with an assess ment of $2, ,OO0, 900 in his personal estate. Interior of the Waldorf-Astoria
 Every newspaper reader in the country | has probably read detailed description l of the splendors of the new Waldorf-As- | toria hotel, but 1t may be of interest to | some of them to know that there has never I been anything else in this city which the | average New Yorker was so anxious to see | as the interior of that gorgeous hostelry | The average New York woman would ten l times rather have a card that would secure l her a view of the parlors, ball room and l bridal suites of the Waldorf-Astoria than to have the best box at the opera A man | who can secure a permit for party to | go through the building is a hero for a night. The average New Yorker does not | as a rule enthuse very much over local l things, taking the best as matter or 1 pleasure, but one is not up-to-date now 1 who has failed to visit the new hotel.
 The magnfcence of the Wa1dorf-Astoria has never been over-stated in the publish ed descriptions. It is really among the grand sights of New York. It is probably the only hotel in the world where a man will be stared at and invite comment if he appears even in the office or corridor

These things seem to be greatly in- creasing of late, and without any ap- parent cause We see more men who lack vigor than ever before. We meet more women who seem .brokn down than in the past. Surely there must be a cause for all this-and there is.
 These troubles can arise from but one cause namely: disordered kidneys or urinary organs. Indeed, it is now ad- mitted that the region of the lower body is 'ae prime source oe most physical ills zen the kidneys become diseased the b Yood becomes poisoned and all the troubles such as sleeplessness, lack of ap- petite, nervelessness, restlessness, tired and Respondent feelings follow in its wake.
 The truth is, people are not we'll; but they should be, and they can be if they would only take the means of recovery that are near at hand. In writing upon this subject, Dr. R. A. Gum, dean and professor of surgery of the United States Medical College, New York, says
 Tn a large class of ailments where the blood is in an unhealthy state-where there is no evidence of organic mischief but where the general health is depleted, the face sallow the urine colored, sonsti- tuting the bilious condition-the advan- tage gained from the use of Warmers Safe Cure is remarkable. I find also that in Bright's disease it seems to act as a sol- vent of albumen; to soothe and heal in- famed membranes, and wash out epithe- lial debris which block the urine bearing tubes"
 It is undoubtedly true that Americans, as a people, are in more or less serious condition, and that there are complaints which have become national diseases. But it is also true that modern science has provided an adequate remedy which is able to fully control it and supplant sick ness and misery by health and happiness.

 Gen Boies D'Effec refused emphatically to testify, under the plea of professional and state secrecy.
 M. De la Gorgue, the presiding judge, con sented that Madame Dreyfus should be al- lowed to testify on the condition that her evidence be restricted to the Esterhazy case.
 Over two hundred barristers, in their robes, gathered at the entrance and in- dulged in horse-play. When'the presiding judge ordered them not to obstruct the passage, the barrsters made a demonstra- tion against the judge, thereupon the com mandant of the republican guards sent a detachment of troops to quell the disturb ance.

but after quiet had been restored he was released
 Gen. Gong refused to testify, a scene fol- lowed and the court was cleared.
 M. La Borie protested against the limi- tation of the evidence of M. Dreyfus and denounced the scenes in court, the biased reports in the newspapers and the attacks on his client as being unworthy of France. Gen. Bois D'Effec, replying, admitted that as minister of war, before he had testi- fled at the Esterhazy courtmartial, he had received. from Major Esterhazy a certain document which concerned the Dreyfus case, but he refused to give any further particulars on the ground of professional secrecy
 The general admitted that Colonel Pic- quart had been transferred to Tunis ow- ing to his being favorable to Dreyfus and the witness added that he personally was convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus, while other facts, before and after the court martial, which had come to his knowledge made this conviction unshakable. This statement made sensation in court.
 Court Room Cleared.
 General Gong followed and had vio- lent altercation with M. La Borie, in which the general public joined. The tumult reached such pitch that the judge or dered the court cleared, which the muni- cipal guards promptly did. The court re- stunned its session five minutes later and General Gong explained that he had not meant all he said. Thereupon the incident was allowed to drop
 General Gong then spoke of the investi- gations of Col Picquart, whom he had en- couraged, but the general added that he told the colonel to avoid arresting Major Esterhazy, which the colonel wishes to do.
 General Mercier, former minister of war, who was next examined, declared that he believed the Bordereau and other docu- mentss abstracted from the war office had been communicated to the newspapers by the Dreyfus family.
 M. LaBorie immediately asked that Mme D-eyfus be allowed to confront General Mercer and deny his statement, but the judge refused to allow it.
 Counsel for M. Zola then pressed Gener- al Mercier to say if it was true that secret document had been committed to the Dreyfus courtmartial, but he refused to reply.
 At the conclusion of his examination General Mercier was cheered.
 M. Tiarouz, who was minister of justice at the time of the Dreyfus courtmartial, was the next witness After his evidence, which did not convey any startling facts, the court adjourned
