PARIS Press COMMENTS.
A Variety of Estimates of the Dead
President of the Republic.


President of the Republic.
PARIS, Feb. 17.-All the morning newspa-
pers contained comments on the sudden
death of President Faure last night These
comments were apparently dictated rather
by each particular journals peculiar views
of the political situation than by any other
consideration. Few of them find time to
dwell on the best points of the character of
the late President but many of them do
not hesitate to call attention to his weak
nesses.
The Echo de Paris in the course of an
eulogistic obituary points out that while
President Faure's love of ceremony caused
smiles, his attitude was always constitu-
tional. 1t adds: 1.-The French people will
render to the dead chief of state g. tribute
OF homage and respect, and will express
sincere regrets at his tomb"
The Journal says: 1.-The judgment will be
honor to his memory
The Gaulois says: '"Those who knew NJ.
Faure will mourn him. He was a worthy
man, obliging and charitable. 1t was no
small surprise for Europe to see this former
workman bear himself at the court of Rus
STA as if he had always lived on the steps
of throne
The EcIair pays homage to the deceased
President. who, it asserts, was always aD-
solutely correct and remained within the
strict limits assigned to him by the constt-
tuition"
The Radical reproaches the late President
with not being a sincere republican.
The Gil Bias says: Fortune was faithful
to him and will assure him the regrets of
the masses"
President Faure, according to the Steele,
represented the labOring democracy and UNI
fortunately failed to understand the task
that fell to him. He only regarded the
presidency as the means of making display"
The Petit Journal believes the President
Succumbed to the weight of the moral sor-
rows and responsibilities accompanying the
lamentable crisis we are traVerslng.
The Petit Parisien believes that the diSap-
pearance of M. Faure will be all the more
cruelty felt, "as it will complicate situa.-
ton already difficult"
The Petit Republique says: HE did much
harm. Though he did not become intention
ally reactionary, by egotistical complaisance
to all the retrograde forces he was of
those who brought the republic to this dan
gerous crisis"
The Matin says: eff fortune, success and
grandeur affected him to the point of max
ing him forget his old friends, the fault was
due more to others than to himself. This
sudden end, in destroying the success,
effaces the miserable details"
The Intransigeant accuses President Faure
of allowing his head to be turned by pride,
says 1t considers the election of his sue
cessor to be a life-and-death question for
France and adds: 'It is important, above
all, that his successor should be sincere
patriot free from all blemish Of Dreyfus-

CAUSE OF NJ. FAURE's DEATH.
Official Certificate Says "COngestiOn
and Hemorrhage of the Brain."

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Figaro attributes
the death Of NJ. Faure to a sudden violent
attack of angina pactoris. M. Meline, in
the course of a conversation with reporter,
said that the President himself recently in
formed him that for a long time he had
been suffering from heart trouble, which
had caused him cruel pain.
The official certificate sets forth that the
death of the President was caused by con
gestion and hemorrhage of the BRAIN
After the remains had been embalmed the
body was attired in evening dress, with
white waistcoat, crossed by the grand cor
don of the Legion of Honor. 1t was then
laid on a white mattress in the study The
remains will lie in state in the ballroom of
the palace, which is already draped with
black. A mass for the repose of the soul of
President Faure was celebrated in the
chapel of the Elysee to-day. Besides the
public buildings, many private houses dis
play flags at half mast.
Emperor William of Germany telegraphed
his coincidence to Madame Faure, and d.
rected the German ambassador here, Count
Won Munster odenburg, TO place a wreath
on the Presidents coffin and 10 announce
that his Majesty is sending special mission
to represent him at the funeral. Probably
the most interesting of the kilograms Of con-
dolence are those Of Emperor Nicholas.

OFFICIAL CONDoLENCE.
Secretary Hays sympathetic Message
ON behalf of the President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-At it's session
to-day the Senate adopted a resolution in
structing the Vice President of the United
States, as president of the Senate, to ex-
press to the government and the people of
France the sympathy of the Senate in the
bereavement that has fallen upon the
French republic in the death of President
Faure. Mr.. Morgan, addressing the Senate,
said the very sad information had been
transmitted to the country by cable of the
death of President Faure. He thought it
fitting that the Senate should make some
expression. 1t is not unlikely, he thought
the incident might give trouble not only to
France, but to the entire world. He then
offered the above resolution, which was
adopted.
Aside from the transmission of formal as
surances of sorrow and sympathy, little fur
Their action by this government because of
the death of President Faure will be taken.
The President probably will instruct Min
lister Porter to present an appropriate floral
tribute on behalf of the executive This was
done on the occasion Of the death of the
Empress of Austria, when the offering bore
the writing: From the President Of the
United States-a tribute to a noble woman"
On tho day of President Faures funeral 1t
is probable that a requiem mass will be
said for the dead in one Of Washingtons
to the President, the members Of his Cabi-
net, heads of departments and Congress and
representatives of foreign countries resident
here. This was the case when former Presi-
dent Carnot, of France, was assassinated
and when the Empress of Austria recently
died. The invitations in such cases are
transmitted by the State Department to the
members Of this government, and the for
vited through the diplomatic Office of the
bereaVeQ country.

sion of the National Council of Women Mrs.
Ellen NJ. Putnam, of Oxford, n. Y superin-
tendent of the state Women's Relief Corps
Home, delivered an address, making q
strong plea for higher patriotism. She said
no star in the crown of the nineteenth
century will shine greater than womens
work and women's progress and that it was
left to the American women to bring about
political millennium. Notwithstanding the
advance of women into trade, medicine, law
and every walk of life. women had not
neglected their peculiar charge, the home,
over whose sanctity they stood firm and
constant guard. She pleaded for legislation
to stem the tide of immigration. I'VE are
most dishonesty served" she asserted, ''and
we know it. Public corruption now has
reached point where it does not shock us,
and we are callous to the sale of seats in the
Senate"
Or. Mary Green, of Michigan, presented
report from the committee on domestic
science, reviewing its labors, and Marie Pur-
dy Peck, of Iowa, made an address on the
beginning of literature and art in America.

lions made by the president of the council

afternoon session, beginning at o'clock,
was devoted to a special service in
memoriam of Frances Z. Willard.
A paper which was warmly received was
that of Mrs Emma r. Wallace, of Chicago,
lief Corps. This corps, she said, was the
largest organization of women in the world,
whose chief cornerstone was patriotism.
She recounted briefly what it had accom-
plished. Since the organization, sixteen
years ago. it had spent for relief work and
turned over to the Grand Army posts
Sl,692 $50, and it expends annually for these
purposes $150O0. For the soldiers in the
Spanish war the organization raised $1,000
in cash and $500 worth of supplies.
The afternoon session was set apart for a
special service in memoriam to Frances E.
Willard, this being the anniversary of her
death. The speakers were Mrs. Sewau,
Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stephens, Miss Anna
Gordon and Miss Shaw.
Some unique arguments were advanced
on expansion and anti-expansion at the
meeting tonight, the question debated be-
ing whether the acquisition of the Philip
pines would prove advantageous to the
United States. Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster argued
in the affirmative. while Mrs. Robinson, an
officer of the Woman's Republican League
of New York, contended that expansion
would result in a great injury to this coun-
try.

Safety in Public buildings.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The death of our esteemed townsman, Mr..
Schleicher, is only one of the many casual-
ties that have occurred and will occur in the
many death-trap public buildings in this and
other cities, by reason Of the negligent con-
struction of the courts and banisters in
public and business buildings. Now that the
Legislature is in session, would it not be
timely for some member to introduce and
urge the passage of bill compelling prop
erty so constructed and hereafter to be con-
structed to be properly screened, bridged
or otherwise arranged so as to prevent
further fatalities, the like of which we have
recently seen? The writer could name many
public buildings that have death traps such
as the one In the building in which Mr.
Schleicher met his death. / think that 1t is
only just to the frequenters of all public and
business buildings that the same should be
properly and safely constructed, sufficient
for the protection of life to the frequenters.

SCIENTIFIC ROBBERS.
Stole Electricity from a Trolley Line
to Operate Drill on Bank Doors.

OBERLIN, o., Feb. 17.-Cracksmen gained
an entrance to the vault of the Oberlln
Banking Company between midnight and
clock this morning. The robbers connected
the trolley of the Cleveland, Berea, Elyria
& Ohio Electric road, which runs directly
past the bank, to a drill machine to oper-
ate on the side doors of the vault After
forcing these doors the robbers inserted
big charge of powder and blew the interior
of the vault into thousand pieces The
walls on all sides were badly shattered,
plastering was torn off and the vault doors
were blown over twenty feet out of their
settings. However, no money was secured,
as the robbers failed to get into the big safe,
evidently for lack of time. The papers and
books inside the vault were damaged be-
yond recognition. No clew has been found
TO the robbers.
