WANTS INDEMNITY
CLAIM AGAINST FRANCE FOR FIVE
+a, MILLION DOLLARS.
Dr. Herr Presents Remarkable
Claim to the State Department.
Charges Persecution by the
rrench Government-Was Placed
under Arrest on a Charge Crow
ing Out of the Panama Canal
Scandal. =

! Washington, Jan. 11.-Messrs, Dit

counsel for Dr.. Cornelius Herr, an
peared before Solicitor Penield at the
state department and presented a
claim for indemnity in the sum of S.
ooo'eOo against the French government
Ior an alleged attempt to prosecute
Dr. herr. The case is remarkable in
many ways, and it is said at the de-
partment, is without precedent.
Inc facts in brief are that Dr. Herr.
whose name stands very high in scien-
tlhc circles as an electrician and
physicist, although born in France of
french parents, is an American citi-
zen. He married an American wo-
man, and when his children were born
IN Paris he caused them to be regis
tered as American citizens at the CON
Sulate.
Jan. 10, 1898, his troubles began.
ne was stopping at Bournemouth.
Ing with his wife in bad health,
Mheh ne was arrested under extradi-
ZION proceedings on a warrant from
the French government charging him
with fraud and embezzlement growing
out OF the Panama canal scandal.
Under the law, a prisoner wanted for
eAtraultlOn must appear at the Bow
street police court. Herr was confined
TO his bed and unable to appear. The
. case was kept open and he was con-
tlnued under arrest in his bed four
years, during 1S93-4-5-6. Then the
British parliament came to the relief
and passed a special act that permitted
the magistrate to attend Herz's bed
side and take his testimony. This was
done and the magistrate promptly de-
clared that the charges were utterly
Invalid and scarcely deserving of no.
tee. That was on May 2, 1896, and
Herr was released from arrest. Mean
while the French government had in
stuffed numerous proceedings against
MIN IN France and confiscated all of
the property Of himself and his wife.
Dr. Herr alleges that this was perse-
cutlon pure and simple and that the
French government knew that the
charges against him were beseless be-
tore his trial. Therefore, claiming to
nave been injured in name and health
and in other ways, he demands that
the state department shall prefer a
claim against the French government
IN full PREPARATION. Although he names
no special sum the brief shows that he
demands the sum Of $5OOO.OCO in a
!etter ne sent to the president of the
French republic, but which was never
answered. The state department has
taken the case under advisement.

If Mr.. Dana left orders that his own
newspaper should be beaten by every
other journal in the country in con-
nection with the news of his own
death, it is evident that something was
the matter with him besides the al

tricity is pardonable where it can't be

mitted no authority in the Office of

This is an age of progress and the
church cannot afford to stagnate. The
clergyman of today takes advantage c1
modern improvements. He pays pas
toral calls on a bicycle; he lights his
church by electricity and he is expert

sermons a wider circulation by trans
hitting them to his parishioners by
telephone. The newspaper is by fa1
the most effective aid he can employ
It is the ultimate manifestation o.
modern progress and energy. The
church cannot do without it.

A women's society for political
study recently tried and acquitted
Aaron Burr. He was forgiven for his
gallantries to women other than his
wife. Had he lived in another age
and time," said one lady, speaking OF
these gallantries, "he would have been
treated differently" Evidently the
present time was directly referred to-,
though we are glad to say that the
lady didn't press the point or defend
the alleged fact very theoretically. He
was also forgiven for marrying Mad
anne Jumel for her money; and then
the society decided that it wasn't prop
er to discuss the private lives of great
men and hastily dropped the subject.

But we hope the scheme will fail. Such

The present year will have among
its noteworthy anniversaries the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
death of Isaac Watts. 1t will be chiefly
as a writer of hymns that he will be
honored by affectionate remembrance
OF his hymns the Christian world has
chosen few as pre-eminent. II he
had written only the hymn beginning
20 God, our help in ages past" his
name would have sure place In the
roll of makers of verse worthy and des-
tined to live. A great hymn levels de-
nominational barriers. While men are
talking of Christian unity, or dream
ing of it, the hymn, in Its sphere OF in
duence, if only for the moment when
heard or sung, makes believers one. He
who has strengthened and inspired gen
erations, refreshing the saints and NOV
ing those who make no pretensions to
saintliness. may we'll be remembered.
