EXCURSIONS.

really delightful trip down the Potomac
river tomorrow is promised to many hun
dreds OF Washngtonians by the Mount
vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Com
pahy' II having been arranged that the
popular steamer, Charles Manchester COM
manded by the veteran Captain Blake, shall
make two trips to Marshall Hall and re-
turn, leaving the wharf at IL am. and 2:3O
pm A trip to the famous old resort beside
the historic stream at this season of the
year will prove most enjoyable to all who
Will take advantage of the companys Of
Ierlhg Marshall Hall is prettier perhaps
during autumn than at any other time of
the year. The veivety green lawns take on
deeper hue, contrast being furnished in
the shape of the leaves which are RAPIDLY
taking on their brilliant fall colorings
Inc sail on the river is cool and eXhilarat-
ing, while at the Hall there will be much to
amuse and entertain the throng. This will
probably be the last chance Washington
people will have of visiting the Hall this
season. Dinner will be served on the ar
rival of the different boats and a Marshall
Hall repast at this time of the year, when
so many delicacies of sea food, etc, are to
be had, is beyond description.
On these pleasant autumn days there is
possibly no more enjoyable way to spend
your Saturday and Sunday than by taking
trip down the river to Colonial Beach,
Clifton Beach or Somerset Beach, the three
popular doWn-POtomac resorts reached by
the steamer Jane Moseiey. Today and to-
morrow the last trips of the season will be
made. These trips have been rendered to
the manager of the Moseiey Mr.. Adam S.
Wurach, by his friends as a testimonial of
his efforts during the past season to cater
to their comfort and enjoyment. To make
these closing trips more enjoyable a grand
oyster roast will be had at the Beach Sun
day afternoon, and each holder of a steam
er ticket will be entitled to eat all the oys-
tiers he may wish. Many parties are being
made up to take advantage of the trip
The boat will leave her wharf this. Satur-
day, evening at"6:30 O'Clock and Sunday
morning at o'clock, returning to Wash
ington about 10 o'clock Sunday night A

FRENCH CORNER IN AMERICA
In Louisiana French Was Once the
Official Language.

FROM the Boston Transcript.
| The action of the Louisiana constitutional
| convention, recently held in New Orleans,
| in dropping French as enc of the official
| languages of the state, came as a surprise
to many people who had never supposed
| that French could be an official language
anywhere in this country. 1t seems, indeed
odd at this distance that the publication
in French of legal documents and official
| notices has been u necessary formalty in
any state beneath he stars and stripes. But
| the Well-hnoWn persistent inability of Gre
oles to understand English in the days be-
fore the war continued the traditions of the
| past. Since the general overturning of for
tunes and influence attendant upon the new
order of things, the Creole young people
| have become more and more AmericaniZed.
! They all speak French and English.
OF the 1874 delegates composing the recent
| convention, only twenty-one were of French
| descent, and it is said that many Creole
families" were represented by men who do
not speak French.

| the annexation in 1902 has been vrie and
| prolonged. That it has taken ninety-six
! years for the language of the dominating
Anglo-SaNon race to drive out its ancient
lingual foe proves the strength of thu lat
ter. 1t is true that there are still about
$1,000 French speaking men in Louisiana,
and perhaps three times as many women
and children, but they live chiefly in the
| rural districts, and they are rapidly learn
ing English. Often, without doubt it is the

But if the French language has lost
ground in southern Louisiana and New
Orleans, the French influence has main
tanned itself The customs and usages are

1t Is e. remarkable instance of the tri

language has been victorious over its
Gallo adversary. The strength of the
language is evidenced in its success and
the strong prejudice and patriotism of the

French or Creoles have lost much of their
influence. and most of the large planta-
lions have passed into the hands of Amer-
cans. They have lost ground in the retail

professions in finance, and in other
branches, they mold their own. But the old
sentimental tie which connected them with
France is almost entirely gone, and there
are no truer Americans anywhere in the
country.

They Strongly Oppose Change in
Present Canadian Tariff.

A dispatch from Quebec YESTERDAY says:
In addition to the 2j0 names of leading
lumber firms of twenty-onc states attached
to the memorial which Congressman Taw-
Eey presented to the American commits
SionerS yesterday, upward of seventy-five
have come in by telegraph today. All day
the commissioners have been receiving tele-
grams from lumber firms in various parts
of the Union urging in the strongest pos
sible terms that no reduction be made in
the present duty on Canadian lumber.
Among the protests was another memorial
sent by the lumbermen of North Carolina,
which includes nearly all the principal lum-
Der firms of the southern states
Mr.. Hardy, the leader of the liberal party
in Ontario. and who is here representing
the lumber interests of that province,
frankly admitted in a conversation today
that the American duty on lumber being
less than 20 per cent, was a lower duty
than the Canadian government imposed
upon almost any product imported from
the United States.
This statement of Mr.. Hardy's concern
ing the reasonahleness of the duty on
Canadian lumber seems to corroborate the
position of the American lumbermen who
are here, and who contend that their in
dustry, being the largest manufacturing in
duStry in the United States and protected
Only by a duty of 16 66-lG9 per cent should
not be disturbed and injured by any further
reduction of duty.
The joint commission will not meet again
until Tuesday. In the meantime the Ameri
can and Canadian commissioners will meet
separately and the various subcommittee
will continue their labors.
A rumor has gained considerable head
way today that the conference has nearly
reached the limit, and that each side will
soon present to the other its contentious
in printed form a matter of record and
let it go at that. In the face of the stub
born opposition from the American indus
tries, it seems almost certain that no COM
mercial reciprocity treaty will be possible.

WOMAN SHOOTS AN EDITOR.
Another Sensational Incident in Con.
nection With iDreyfus' Cnse.

A dispatch from Paris yesterday says:
Nine. Paulmier, wife of NJ Charles Ern-
est Paulmier, member of the chamber of
deputies from the department of Ca!vades
has added another tragedy to the bewider-
ing intricacies of the Dreyfus plot. Nine
Paulraier today entered the offices of La
Lanterne and asked to see NJ. Milleraud.
Mr.. Mllerard was absent. and NJ. Oil
vier WHO was present, stepped forward to
receive the lady, who, without waiting
for any explanation, whipped out u revolt
yer and fired twice. NJ Olivier fell to the
floor wounded. He was taken to hospital.
Nine. Paumier was taken into custody,
and when questioned coolly announced:
Il wished to Kill NJ. Millerand."
She explained that La Lanterne had SIAN
dered herself and her husband because her
husband had written letter to Gen. Cham
oine, the minister of war, with reference to
putting a stop to the attacks upon the
army provoked by the Dreyfus affair.
The alleged SANDER published in La Ian
terne was contained in article written
by a journalist named Turot. and not by
NJ Millerand N. Olivier. in which ref
erence was made to the conjugal relations
of Nine Paulmier and her husband.
The article, it is presumed, was published
without NJ Millerand's knowledge.
one of the bullets fired by Nine Paul
mier entered NJ. Ollivier's chest and the
other struck him in the armpit
Nine Paulmier is a tall blonde. She was
once noted Partisan beauty, and still re-
tains much of her elegance. She is prom
inent member of the best society of the
capital
After the arrest she said:
press polemics have reached too base
level when women and children are at
tackled In the absence of my husband
there was no alternative for me but to Sc
cure Justice for myself. If every woman
thus attacked would do as nave done II
would make these igaoble wretches more
cautious.
Il am sorry that I was forced to fire on
a brave man whom l do not know
NJ Oliviers condition tonight Is very
critical.
Deputy Paulmier was some years ago the
defendant in suit brought by pretty
woman for the expense of luXuriously fur
nishing a naisonette in the Champs Ely
sees La Lanterne accused his household
Of being a 'menaSe a trois'
NJ Millerand was outside the office of La
Lanterne in the crowd when the shooting
occurred.

COREA LIKES CIGARETTES.
RefOrmcrs Weaned These People
From Their Long Pipes.

From the New York Press
Corea had reform period following the
China-Japan war, and among the new ideas
brought IN by the reformers was the ciga-
rette. 1t was not introduced so much on
it's own account as because of the accidents
that have befallen smokers of the long
pipe. Coreans are great smokers. Men,
women and children Of high and low de-
gree, and no degree at all, begin smoking
in early life, and keep it up till they are
gathered to their fathers The Coreans
grow their own tobacco-that is. they i'm
port none in the leaf-and every farmer and
gardener has his own little patch, good
enough when growing, but which he spoils
in the curing-that is, from the American
point of view. The Corean pipe has brass
bowl of ordinary size, with a brass stem
mouthpiece. Intervening is a hollow reed
stem of from one to four feet in length In
working, the common people use short
pipes; but they. like all the rest, affect the
long-stemmed pipe when they can. for the
sake of GOODNESS and the look of it.
Now, these long pipes can be smoked with
safety and comfort when sitting. Acct
dents have occurred often from persons
falling with a long pipe in their mouths.
the stem of which is driven down the throat,
through the cheek or into the soft palate.
The reformers of the postwar period got
an order issued forbdding the use of the
long pipe by the common people, and the
short foreign pipes came into favor. But
more than all. the foreign cigarette made
it's popular entrance into Corea The order
became dead letter after a while, but the
short pipe and the cigarette stayed.
At the palace American cigarettes are
used exclusively, and large quantities are
consumed This makes them popular with
the higher classes. These also sell for four
cents, silver, for ten. The American ciga-
rettes retain the American names. Some
English cigarettes are kept, and Russian
and Egyptian brands are kept for the Eu-
Topean population.
There is 20 per cent duty ad valorem on
cigars and cigarettes. The importations
for 1897 were d third more than those for
the year before, and it is believed that the
record for this year will be as great.
