THE MAN IN THE mon MASK.


From the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat
Since the invention Of printing It has be-
come increasingly difficult TO transmit a
| story subject to the laws of growth, be-
cause the original statement is permanent
and easily accessible. One story however
mas seized on the Imagination of the peo-
PIE and hourished since the eighteenth CEN
fury precisely as the old stories grew
The story of the Man In the Iron Mask
Is almost entirely destitute of foundation
Noltaire first gave the story currency
ABOUT 100 In the supplement 10 his Steele
de Louis NV, he sets down some bits OF
gossip about the court. Among these he
hints that very important person was
detained In the bastlle whose Identity
was carefully concealed and dis features
always covered by mask. Afterward the
Idea of an unknown prisoner behind an
iron mask took possession OF the imag-
nation of the French people and ia this
century Dumas the elder ard DuBoisgO-
hey have constructed ingenious romances
on the story. M. Yung has spent much
time and labor 20 prove that the .1ron
mask" concealed Lorraine adyenturer
hired to poison the King Various serious
writer's have amused themselves with con-
lectures as to the identity OF the prisoner
the favorite theory being that he was
twin brother Of Louis XIV, whose appaar~
ance might raise embarrassing questions
served In great state by she governor OF
the prison only was favorite fiction
Examination proves that all the prison.
ers committed to the prison are accounted
for by death or discharge that the plate
thrown out with a message scratched on
IT. was not thrown from the bastiie but
from another prison by a Huguenot and
that number OF prisoners were allowed
TO walk on the ramparts for exercise wear
ing not iron masks but hoods covering the
neck and shoulders and obscuring the
face, for fear that IL they were recognized
from below excitement might be caused
among the populace who were favorable
TO them But few years ago In prisons
In French country towns this favor or
walking on the walls in disguise was al
lowed to female prisoners.
In brief, there never was Man in the
Iron Mask" there was not even an iron
mask for a man to be put IN, yet SO great
is the power of the imagination that This
man who "never had q local habitation Or
name" Is as real TO the people OF France
as Joan of Arc, as real as King Arthur Is
to the peasants of Wales where II Is dan
gerous TO express a doubt that he once
regned over Britain. Some Frenchfncn
believe that the mysterious prisoner was
Mazarin; others that he was Monmouth
the illegltmate son of Charles III Of Eng
land; others that he was son OF Oliver
Cromwell. The story suits the French
imagination so well that the French peo-
pie refuse TO give II up. 1t has a wider
acceptance than IL would receive if it were
true. At the same time, the French are
not an imaginative nor a credulous peo-
pie.

THE COTTON BOIL wEnvIL.
The Agricultural Department Not
Apprehensive of Its Spread.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE agricultural
department has issued a circular regard
ing the spread of the Mexican cotton boil
weevil during the past season. Several
years ago the weevil made its appearance
in certain portious of Texas, and there
was great fear 1t would spread to the
north and east of the infected regions
in that state, and then to Louisiana. Mis-
sissippi. Alabama and Georgia An iuves-
tigation conducted by the department.
however, shows that the progress of the
insect toward the north and east has been
very slow; that its spread Is practically
checked by the first heavy frost, and II is
doubtful whether the insect will advance
to any great extent beyond the region
of the growth of voluntary cotton.
In the infected region the crop this year
seems to have been very short, condi-
ton largely attributable to drought
Where there was no top crop there were
very few weeVils.
In the lowlands, where the crop showed
some growth of squares, the weevirs work
was abundant. Careful examination of the
country adjoining the borders Of the in
tested region of 1896 showed that only one
important extension or spread this being

BLUNDER IN MONEYS ELECTION.
The Ballot VIII he Ignored and An
other Vote TRken.


Jackson, Miss, Jan 1.-THE Mississippi
Legislature made curious and awkward
blmder to-day in balloting for a United
States senator for the unexplred term
made vacant by the death of Senator j.
z. George.
Exactly at noon both houses, by sepa-
rate formal ballot, elected Hon. fernando
De Soto Money, who already holds the
appointment of Gov. McLaurin as George s
successor. Late this afternoon the ques-
ton was raised as to the legality of this
action and Ii appears that either this leg
islature has strangely blundered or else
the elections of Senators George and
Walthall in 1892 and that of Senator
Money in 1896 were Illegal
Under the constitution of Mississippi the
legislature meets ON the First Tuesday af-
ter the first Monday in January and I'M
der section IA of the revised statutes of the
United States the balloting for senator
by the legislature must begin on the Sec
ond Tuesday after the meeting and or
ganization thereof" The question: there
fore, arises in Mississippi as to what is the
second Tuesday after the meeting and or
ganization" of the Legislature and should
the first Tuesday or day of organization be
counted.
In 1892, when George and Walthar were
elected, the legislature convened on Tues
day, Jan. 5, and on Tuesday, Jan 10. both
Houses ballotted separately, and on We'd
nesday, Jan. 20, jointly, elected the sena-
tors This precedent was also followed in
1885, when Senator Money was elected for
the full term to succeed Mr.. George. The
legislature of 1896 met on Jan. T. and the
Houses did not take ballot until Jan. q.
The ballot of to-day will be ignored, and
another election had on Tuesday next.

consults me, and never consult him."
Mr.. Allen, DEM, of Mississippi, enter
tained the House with one of his short,
humorous speeches.
Mr.. Bailey, Dem, of Texas, the leader
of the minority, closed the debate with
some remarks defining the attitude of the
Democrats 1t was difficult he said, to
believe in the sincerity of the other side,
when in one breath the Republicans avow-
ed their adherence to the law, and in the
next demanded its practical destruction.
If the law was good, he said, it ought to
be extended; if not, it should be repealed.
The Democrats, he said, were ready to
wipe it off the statute books. They did
not believe in life tenure. While the re-
peal of the law might turn some of their
friends out of office, they stood by their
party platform.
With the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's re-
marks, the time expired and the bill was
reported to the House. 1t was then dis
covered that those who desired to vote to
strike out the appropriation for the civil
service commission had neglected TO make
the motion ir committee of the whole.
No vote, therefore, could be taken, and the
bill was passed without division.
The agricultural and urgent deficiency
appropriation bills were reported to the
House, ana at SIS the House adjourned.

Meads service justified such action. No
