THE FRENCH THWARTED.
Cars Peace Proposal Ends Russian
AIIiance-Everythins Points
a n Crisis.

PARIS, Sept Alt is no exaggeration to
say that the czar's peace movement prac-
tically ends the alliance between France
and Russia, but nevertheless the dramatic
developments of the Henry confession have
completely overshadowed the importance
Of the cars proposal for disarmament. or,
more accurately. for the cessation of addi-
tionaI armaments. This morning a promi-
nent Frenchman remarked to the writer:
1.-The czar's proposal. made without the
slightest friendly warning or offer of pre-
paratory consultation, is the most severe
blow that France has received since the
treaty of Frankfort. Our only friend in
Europe calmly invites us to conference.
the condition precedent to the acceptance
of which is that We should forever re-
nounce all hope of regaiaing our lost PROV
ince3 of Alsace and Lorraine, and for this
France is not prepared"
1t is no eXaggeration to say that the
cars proposal practically ends the
Franeo-RussIan alliance. In military
circles the feeling is still stronger, for the
proposal comes at the moment when the
minister of war is, at an enormous finan-
cial sacrifice, introducing into the French
army the new quick-firing field gun which
is confidently said to be 80 per cent more
effective than any weapon yet in existence.
The vanishing Russian dream is made
still more bitter by the understanding row
believed to be established between England
and Germany in regard to Africa and Ger
many's approval of the logical conse-
quences Of General Sir Herbert Kitchener's
Khartoum campaign, which must effectu-
ally nip in the bud the realization of Mar
chard's further ambitious projects in the
upper Nile region.
NJ Lockroy Is now reorganizing the staff
department of the French navy in the
most drastic manner, and the navy will
before long be provided with a general staff
based upon the army organization. This
indefatigable minister has already in
creased the naval strength by COCO men,
who have been transferred from the army
TO form the nucleus Of a new coast de-
fense system, which will thenceforth be
under the exclusive control Of the navy.

SHORTENED LIVES.
Men and Women Should Not Die TN
der a Cenfury-StrOng Pas
siOns Shorten LOfe.
From Pearson's Weekly.

From PearsOn's Weekly
Almost all persons die of disappointment.
personal. mental, or bodily toll or accident
The passions kill men sometimes even sud
denly. The common expression "choked
with rage" has little exaggeration in it,
for even though not always suddenly fatal,
strong passions shorten life. .-
Strong bodied men often die young, and
weak men usually live longer than the
strong, for the strong use their strength
and the weak have hardly any to use-the
latter take care of themselves. the former
do not.
AS 1t is with the body. so It is with the
mind-the strong are apt to break or, like
the candle, run: the weak burn out.
Man. OF all animals. is one that seldom
comes up to the average. He ought to live
100 years according TO the physiological law,
but instead of that he scarcely reaches an
average of four times the growing period
The reason is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and most Incorporate. but
the most laborious and hardworking of all
animals.
He is always the most irritable, and there
is reason to believe though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels. that, more
than any other animal, man cherishes wrath
to, keep II warm. and consumes himself
with the fire of his own reflections.

TELLING A FURRIER'S SECRET.

Furs,
From the Ladies' Home Journal.

From the Ladies Home JOURNAL
Furs become very much soiled and need
renovation as much as any other part of
a woman's wardrobe but among the many
directions given for cleansing and renovat-
ing one seldom finds anything regarding
furs. Furriers keep such trade secrets
strictly, but occasionally there is a leak
age and / am able TO give the result of
enc. Dark furs, as seal, mink and black
marten, are cleaned with fine cedar or ma
hcgany sawdust, which is kept in stock by
furriers. The garment is ripped free from
the lining and the fur laid on a table with
the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed
In the hair and neither strength nor saw
dust spared during the process. When
finished shake the fur lightly over the ta-
BILE and save the sawdust that drops out.
Then put upon the table one or two feather
pillows in their usual muslin slips, and
upon these lay the furs. hair down this

until the sawClust is out and the fur as
clean as a pin; keep moving the pillows, as
the fur must have a soft support while
beaten. White furs are cleaned with white

darker varieties. If white furs are only
slightly soied they may be cleaned with

LOOSE GAS TANK RAN AMUCK.
1t Skedaddled Along the Crowded
Street Like u Thing
of Life.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A harmless looking metal tank filed with
oxygen gas stood on the end of dray
which was slowly moving south on Fifth
avenue at HISS o'clock yesterday morning.
AT n:55.05 this same tank, transformed in
to sizzling and writhinS monster was
giving a fat policeman a merry chase
down Washington street and was spread
ing terror and CONSERVATION among the
pedestrians who happened to be in the
immediate relghborhood. In brief The
tank had run amuck.
1t all happened because the tailboard of
the dray dropped out just as the intersec-
ton OF Washington street and Fifth ave-
nue. was being passed. The dray tolted
over car rail and the tank dropped out
INTO into. the street The fail loosened 1.-The the stop
the pressure OF oxygen gas that the metal
receptacle began to sizzle and then 10
writhe as its contents were poured forth.
From writhing the force changed TO pro-
gressive movement until, IN a second, the
heavy tank was over on its side and roll
Ing east in Washington street.
The crossing policeman took in the stu
alton at a glance and as quickly as his
size would permit he started In pursuit.
To the bystanders it seemed as IL the tank
caught up with his prey and stopped to
seize IT. than the supposedly inanimate
thing would dodge and with derlsiVe
sizzle would roll away in another direction.
A Milwaukee avenue cable train came
along and the tank made for It,. The pas
sengers on the exposed side of the grip
saw their danger and cried in horror: The
gripman put on full speed and sped past
the cause of the excitement. The latter
stood almost on its base and seemed to
emit kissing laugh. a beer wagon came
rumbling along, but the horses saw the
object, and in spite of the best efforts of
their driver. wheeled about and made a
terror-stricken retreat toward La Sale
street.
But the reign of terror occasioned by the
tank was drawing to an end and all be-
being lost The tank seemed to appreciate
the fact, for with a last effort II rolled
across the street. charged down the base
ment steps into the Union lunchroom, and,
with a dying wheeze gave up the struggle.
The fat policeman came over and ginger
iy picking up his prisoner made his way
to the station. while the driver of the dray
followed him soemnly shaking his head in
bewilderment over the strange antics or
his once quiet freight.
