! trembling in the cutting sleet, read the
schedules as they waited hour after
hour until their turn came in the long
file Then wrapping the bit of frozen
bone and flesh in their rags, they crept
back to fireless homes. And no one
murmured; no one complained; no one
thought of surrender. Here and there
in the line some woman, weak with
starvation, fell down in the snow; here
and there some young girl, cheeks
flaming with fever, screamed out in
sudden delirium and staggered off into
the city-raving of warm fires and
white bread and the mercy of God. The
rest looked on in silence; the shivering
line closed up; the next old woman
hobbled away with her food, mumbling
and muttering of battles to come and
the honor OF France.
There was no fuel left for the poor;
mothers burned their furniture to save
their babies from freezing; the green
wood from the Bots de Boulogne and
the forest of Vincennes gave out little
heat and a great deal of smoke for
those who could afford to buy it. Bands
of rufnans sacked the government
woodyards at night, scarcely recoiling
before the bayonets Of the national
guard: troops of gamins hunted the
sewer holes for rats or watched the
gardens of the rich for the gaunt cats

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
The knocking was repeated. Hide
sat up in the darkness, staring through
her tangled hair at the dim outlines of
the door,
Who is it?'' she asked, striving to
steady her voice.
There came the shuttle Of feet, a
sound of whispered consultation. Sud
denly voice spoke out:
We want your house for a hospital.

The news stunned the people. AT
first nobody credited it. The governor
began ostentatious preparations for
another sortie, alasi against the very
village he had abandoned when it was
in his own hands-Le Bourget.
But it was not until the end of De-
cember that he was ready to begin,
and then the cold became so frightful
that 800 men froze on a single night in
the trenches, and during the last ten
days Of the month 10000 soldiers were
carried to the hospitals. The attack Oh

DELAYING HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Friends of abe Measure Afraid to Bring
1t to Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sit seems
quite improbable that the Hawaiian
treaty will receive much attention, at
least i'll executive session, during the
week. Still Senator Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, an
nounced it to be his purpose to move an
executive session for the consideration
of the treaty today, but it is possible
that he may be influenced by pressure
from senators who have other measures
requiring immediate attention to post
pone this motion for a few days. He
does not, however, admit such proba-
bility. There is a growing impression
that the friends of the treaty feel that
their safest course is in delay, and this
is the explanation of the tactics so far
observed with reference to it. There is
excellent foundation for this surmise.
They have made a very thorough can
vass of the senate and have not been
able to discover where they can get
more than Is votes, whereas to ratify
the treaty they will have to have 60.
They feel that even some of those SO are
not entirely reliable In view of these
circumstances they realize that nothing
is to be lost by an informal postpone
ment, especially when it comes natur-
ally through the pressure of other bust
ness, and some of them believe that
everything is to be gained by that
course.
Senator Pettigrew's determination to
discuss the Hawaiian question in open
session will have tendency to take
the direction Of the ratification resolu-
ton out of the hands of the foreign re-
lations committee and it may prove to
be the opening wedge to discussion of
the whole subject III open session of the
senate. His resolution declares it to be
contrary to the traditions of this coun-
try to acquire any territory SO situated
as to require navy to protect it. This
is basis broad enough for the discus
sion of the whole subject, and it is I'M
derstood to be Mr.. Pettigrew's intention
to enter very fully into the question of
the condition of affairs in Hawaii.
He will deal with Mr.. Dole's visit and
will undertake to show that that gentle
man was never elected president, that
the constitution of the present govern
ment of Hawaii was never submitted to
the people of that country and that in
fact the whole government is irregular
1t is possible that objection may be
made to discussing such subjects in open
session, III view of the tendency Of the
treaty, and Mr.. Pettigrew may not be
allowed to proceed except behind closed
doors

Father-In-Law's Money.

Got Away with Over 100000 of His
Father-In- Laws Money.
New York, Jan. 31.--Moses Rosen-
stock has been arraigned in the Center

his father-in-law, David Wilson of
Baltimore, as a fugitive from justice.
He was held pending the arrival of
requisition papers from Baltimore.
Mr.. Wilson, the complainant, is the
senior member of the millionaire furn1-
ture manufacturing firm of David Wifi
son 81 Son, Baltimore.
Thirteen years ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Wilson in court,
Rosenstock was compelled, through his
gambling debts and entanglements, to
leave Germany He came to this coun-
try, and, after a short residence in Bal
timore, married Mr.. Wilson's oldest
daughter, despite her fathers opposi-
ton. Soon after that Rosenstock was
given an important position with his
father-in-law' firm. 1t finally came to
light that he had stolen $4,000. The
matter was settled for a time by Rosen-
stock IS accepting few hundred dollars
and leaving town. He left his wife and
five children behind. Al expert was put
to work Il his books and, Mr.. Wilson
states, discovered that Rosenstock was
$50, 009 short in his accounts. This was
III 1886. BESIDES this, he had spent
SO, 000
Tor year and more detectives secured
the country for Resenstock. He went,
they la ned to Philadelphia, and after
being IA the employ Of firm there for
few months, disappeared, having de
fauited in small sum. Later he went
to Pittsburg, and, according to the story,
practically dad the same thing over
