"CLTIZEN,, GENKT,S FLnKE.

Some of the papers in recounting the
various instances of the recall of OBJ
jectionable foreign ministers, have
omitted to note the extraordinary antics
of Citizen GHet, the brother of the
famous Nine. Campan and the minister
of the French revolutionary government
to the United States, whose recall was
compelled by President Washington.
Genets performances were worse than
those of Yrujo, the Spanish minister
in Madisons time, who attempted to
bribe Philadelphia newspaper to make
attacks upon the administration, while
the simple-minded folly and gullibility
of Sackville-W West, during the political
campaign that resulted in the election
Of President Harrison, makes his case
hardly comparable to any Of the others
in seriousness, fragrant as the offense
was.
Citizen Genet's object was to force
the United States into the war which
France was then waging with England.
pretext for this was founded upon the
Franco-American alliance, and the popu-
lar feeling wasso bitter against England,
and so ardent toward France, that the
situation was decidedly critical. There
was noisy war party in this country,
and Genet had the impudence even to
address public meetings in his endea-
vors to inflame the public mind to war
with England. The French revolution
was as much fad in America as the
American revolution had formerly been
in Paris, and Genet knew he had a
promising field in which to work.
Against this popular craze Wash
ington Set his face with all the stern
ness of which he was capable, and it
was to the overthrow of the president
that the French minister devoted his
energies. His boldness did not stop
short of commissioning privateers in
this country to prey upon English COM
merce and ordering French consuls in
the United States to condemn the
prizes brought in. To allow this sort
of thing was to be forced into war with
England without the formality even of
a declaration, and Washington put a
stop to it by asking for Genet's recall
This request had, Of course, to be COM
piled with, and Genet got out of Office
and settled in New York There was a
| lack of discrimination in the guillotine
business in Paris that robbed the gay
city Of its attraetiveness to public
officials who had blundered.
Genet did not believe that Washington
would dare oppose the fierce French
sentiment that agitated the country
and had already led to the unmeasured
denunciation Of the president. Citizen
Genet did not know his man There is
very timely and salutary lesson for
the people in this incident, for the
| sporadic Cuban sentiment can not for
a moment be compared in intensity with
| the rage of the French sentiment that
shook the country during Washington s
| first administration. Before the Napo-
/ leonic wars were over, however, we
were on the verge of war with France
itself, and the root of the trouble was
| the maintenance of neutrality. There
was no lingo nonsense about Washing
ton. He was not to be moved by popu-
| lar clamor or by partisan buncombe.

1t will be. observed that the bill to
stop the pensioning of youthful widows
who marry aged veterans has been
strangled in committee. Congress won't
be annoyed by a request for ayes and
nays on that question. The democrats on
the committee all voted against it, and
so did three republicans. including Cy
Sulloway of New Hampshire. Nearly
all this opposition vote was from the
west Though the widow business is
one of the most glaring abuses of the
department, congress dare not tackle it
just before the elections.

TWO WOMEN KILLED.
Result of Battle With constabIss in Ken

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 1.-THE Times-Star's
special from Yanceburg. Ky, says: At
Esculapia, this county, this morning, Con-
stables Cropper and Thacker attempted to
arrest a woman named Grow. who was at
her home with several grown-up daugh-
ters. Suddenly one of the girls attacked
the officers with a knife, dangerously
wounding both of them. Mrs Crow and
another daughter drew revoIvers, and the
officers realized it was a fight for life.
The battle ragged for few minutes, and
after the smoke had cleared away 1t was
found that Mrs. Crow and one daughter
had been killed. The other participants
are in a dangerous condition.

response to a call for a substantial
manifestation of public sympathy and
appreciation is seldom seen.

The New York assembly did not ask
Senator Murphy to resign because of mis-

1t seems TO be recognized that the Gu

That letter contained an ostentatious
confession that autonomy was failure,
and that Spain could hope for no sue
cess without military victories. Such
victories have been scarce and unim-

A movement is on foot to increase
the size and effectiveness OF the wo-
mans department in the Worcester So
ciety of Antiquity Such a department
there has been, but few have even
known of its existence, so embryonic in
its capabilities and so conservative in
its policy has it been. Now, after two
years of urging on the part of the pres
ident, the building up of this side of
the society's life is to be pushed with
good prospects of success.
The society needs the cooperation of
women, who can not only do much along
the lines Of its historical work, but can
bring social prestige to assist in it's
success. On the other hand. it offers
to women a promising and interesting
field for activity.
From the size of the waiting list of
the Woman's Club and other indica-
tons there would seem to be room for
another club for women in the city.
Certainly the historical club. which it
Is hoped to form, would find itself in
possession of most delightful and ap-
propriate club home in the library, mu-
scum and hall which the Society of An
uqulty could open to them. Invitations
to a meeting Friday morning at 10
o'clock in Salisbury Hall, as a prepara-
tory step toward the organization Of
such club, will be issued Monday
Some Of the most capable people in the
city are behind the movement, and
those In position to know, predict its
unqualified success.
Under the title of THE revolutionary
pictures" a collection has been made
of the original paintings and drawings
illustrating Senator Lodges 'Story Of
the Revolution" now appearing in
Scribner's Magazine. This collection Of
pictures forms an impressive gallery Of
revolutionary art, representative Of the
talent OF many celebrated artists, and
worth many thousands of dollars They
are now being exhibited in various cities
throughout the country under the aus
ptces OF the local patriotic societies, hav-
ing been on exhibition in Allston Hall,
Boston, under the auspices of the Paul
Revere chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, early in the
month. Strangely enough, this is the
first time all the modern forces and re-
sources1of the illustrative art have been
brought to bear upon this subject and
the score of artists who undertook the
work discovered a comparatively un-
touched field. Arrangements are being
made by the Worcester Society of An
tiquity to bring this collection of pic
lures to this city in May

From the OverfiOw's Effects.
Tampa, Fla, June 9.--To-day has been
an uneven1ful one here, and very little
news is given out for publication.
The usual scenes of preparations for
events which may soon happen have been
in evidence.
The heads of the several divisions of the
troops now here have been taking matters
ieisurely, and none of them will speak for
publication upon such matters as are I'M
der the ban of the censor.
The weather has been fine, and at all of
the regimental headquarters the regular
drills and movements have been going on
all day.
AT the camps of the Second Georgia and
the First Florida the men have recovered
from the inconvcniences put upon them
by the overflow, and to-day they were out
for drill and field movements as usual
The men are in good spirits and feel
anxious to go to The front
This morning the Florida regiment re-
ceived a large proportion of the amount
of clothing which has been passed up to
the credit of the regiment, and this after
noon the command was out in it's new uni
forms, looking considerably improved in
general appearance.
Maj Gen. Coppinger, VINO has been sta
toned at Mobile for some time reached
Tampa tonight. He was accompanied by
his staff.
To-day j. Markham Marshall of the
Fifth Maryland Regiment, was appointed
by Gen. Coppinger one of his aides. Capt
Marshall is here In advance of the com
mand with which he enlisted, and will
remain here until the Fifth Maryland
arrives.
The censorship at Tampa, which relax
ed enough to- day to permit of chronicliny
with certain restrictions the arrival of
volunteer troops at this point, has been
again frightened to even a greater extreme
than before. No comments will hereafter
be allowed on the movements of the regu-
lar or volunteer troops either to or from
this point, nor will anything bearing on
/ any phase of the situation here be permit
ted to be sent out.
Correspondents are practically limited
now to the veriest camp gossip. Nothing
in the nature of Information or denial Of

The deadly work was generally perform
ed in the cool of mornig That these
events were fully appreciated was shown
by the presence on the Lunetta of thou
sands of people. Hundreds of fashion
ably dressed ladies and gentlemen
'graced" the occasion with their presence.
For the most part these fashionables came
in their equlpages. These ladies would
stand in their vehicles, determined not
to miss any part of the CHASTITY show.
ant that the victims were dead was the
signal for these delighted lady spectators
to wave their handkerchiefs or parasols
as evidence of their satisfaction.
Ae a general thing these We're fright
fully grewsome affairs. There was a fir
ing squad of five for each unfortunate.
This squad of eXecutioners would be sta
toned about ten PAGES Immediately in the
rear of their human target InSmost in
stances the soldiers constituting the FIR
ing squad were natives. They were Sc
cretly in favor Of the rebellion, and no
member of the squad cared TO fire the
fatal shot. Consequently each man would
aim for the arm or leg. This, of course,
only added to the horror of the affair.
There was one occasion when thirteen
leading members of the secret revolution
airy society, the Catapunan, were eXecut-
ed There was not a single instance at
this execution where the unfortunate was
killed by the first volley. In a majority
of cases three or four volleys were re-
qulred and in one instance five vOlleys
were fred before the surgeon declared
the man dead. The announcement that ell
were dead was the signal for music by
the band-gay, triumphal music.
