strange French LAWS.

A trial has just taken place at Paris
which may serve as a warning to
American tourists visiting France.
A well to do man of perfectly clean
record and good social position named
Froment Adelot has been sentenced to
two months Imprisonment for wear
ing, without right, in the buttonhole Of
his coat, the tiny bow of red ribbon
usually worn by the knights Of the
French Legion Of Honor.
You can buy them for few cents in
any of the shops devoted to the sale of
insignia Of European orders, and
have known of not a few English and
American tourists who, seeing num-
Der Of people wearing these little bows
of red ribbon in their buttonholes, did
likewise.
This, however, entails heavy penal.
ties, and it is punished by the authori.
ties as the illegal wearing of the in.
sigma Of the national orders.
1t must be thoroughly understood
that even supposing any American be-
longs to some patriotic or other society
here in the United States, the insignia
Of which comprises bow or button OF
red ribbon worn in the buttonhole, he
cannot wear it in France without risk
ing giail.-WaShington Post.

wanted to See That Foot.

On the principle that to some persons
even old stories are new, this one, Of
the royal princelings of England, is
given in Mr.. G. w. E. Russell's recent
book, collections and Recollections:
An English gentleman who had de-
formed foot was going to visit the
queen at Osborne, and before his arrival
the queen and Prince Albert debated
whether it would be we'll to warn the
Prince of Wales and the princess royal
of his physical popularity, SO as to
avoid their making embarrassing re-
marks, or to leave it to their own good
feeling.
The latter course was adopted. Lord
- duly arrived. The foot elected no
remark from the royal children. and the
visit passed off with success. Next day
the princess royal asked the queen:
"Where Is Lord --2'
''He has gone back to London, dear. :"
"Oh, what pityl He had promised
to show BERTHE and me his footl'
They had caught him in quiet spot

Fishing For a Drink.

A guide who has done more or less
plug fishing on Mooselookmeguntic
lake says he can get drink Of nice
cold water when he is anchored on a
lake, provided the water is deep
enough. For deep fishing it is customa-
ry to sound for clay bottom before
casting anchor, and our informant
claims that he can sound to secure q
cool drink. He ties a weight to the
bottom Of his coffee bottle, and with
the string tied also to the cork he
drops it to the bottom; then by quick
jerk pulls the cork, the bottle fills with
cold, clear water, and he has only to
pull it in.-Phillips Photograph.

RETIRING STATESMEN
Thirteen Senators Who Quit
the Halls of legislation.
0ne Hundred and Seven Represen-
tatiyeS Seek Private Life.
The Names of Quay and Cannon
May BE Added Later to
the Roll

When the Fifty-ifth Congress went out
OF existence yesterday at noon there was
retired from public to private life thirteen
and probably fifteen Senators.
Some of them have been prominent in
politics for period approaching a quarter
OF a century. Others not 50 long in pub ic
life have been strong factors in the con-
trol Of their respective parties.
The retirement OF Mr.. German, one OF
the most conspicuous of those who go
cut of public life, marks a decided change
on the Democratic side OF the Senate. Mr.
German has not only been great factor
in the councils OF his party, but has for
many years been one of its leaders.
Mr. Gray is another who has been con-
spicuous as a Democrat. Dir. Murphy of
New York. Mr. Smith OF New Jersey Mr.
Turpie OF Indiana, and Mr. White OF Cali
fornia have for years been leading mem
bers OF the Democratic party in both State
and national politics.
Those who retired from the Senate were
Messrs. Allen of Nebraska, Faulkner OF
West Virginia, German OF Maryland. Gray
OF Delaware, Mantel Of Montana. Mills of
Texas. Murphy of New York. Roach of
North Dakota, Smith of New Jersey, Tur-
pie OF Indiana, White of California and
Wilson OF Washington.
Unless the legislatures of PENNSYLVANIA
and Utah should re-elect Mr. Quay apd
Ar. Cannon. these will also be brought
among those who retire TO private life.
These two gentlemen are candidates for re-
election and may be returned. OF the 9TH
ers. however. their SUCCESSORS have been
elected with the exception OF Mr. Allen
In the House numerous conspicuous fig
ures in the management Of political affairs
VIII be absent in the next Congress. Among
ihe weil-known Representative who quit
the halls OF legislature yesterday are

sets, Lewis Of Washington, Quigg OF New
York. Mahany of New York, Mcguire and

The DEFENCE OF ARMY
BEEF GROWS WEAKER
Refrigerated Meat That Emit
ted a Deathlike 0dOr.
Tons of the Putrii Supplies Reject
ed at Jacksonville.
An Inspection of Western Packing
Houses Planned by the Court
of Enquiry.

The only testimony in favor of army
beef heard before the Court of Enquiry
yesterday came from officers of the Com
mssary Department. The volunteer Off
GERS examined denounced the canned rCast
and the canned boiled beef. Very few OF
the witnesses had anything pleasant to
say about the refrigerated beef, ard one
Of them condemned it. saying that what
was Issued TO his company had death
like" odor
1t is probable that the Court will d scoa-
tinuc the examination Of witnesses in this
city on Tuesday, and that the next session
Of the Court will be held at Chicago.
| Thence the Court viii go to Kansas City
and later to Omaha. The establishments
of the saughterers packers, and Gamers
will be inspected, and many witness will
be put upon the stand.
The first witness yesterday was Colonel
Gallagher, of the Commi5sary Department
He was recalled that he might maxi "a
minor correction in the testimony he gave
when he was en- the stand several days
ago. Major Lee, representing General
Miles. took occasion to crCss-examine the
witness as to the amount OF bacon Issued
during the seige of Santiago and the rsa-
son why the canned roast beef was issued
to the Cuban troops.
Colonel Gallagher said that while he
was depot commissary at Siboney and Ell
Poso. he issued nine-tenths bacon and one
tenth canned beef. He issued the canned
beef to the Cubans because they preferred
it to bacon, while the American troops
expressed preference for bacon.
Louis ID. Hunter. lieutenant in the
Sixth Massachusetts, Volunteers, attributed
much of the sickness in his regiment 10
the food furnished it in Porto Rico. He
was made sick on two occasions by eating
canned roast beef. The canned beef issued
10 his command was fat, slushy and
stTingy. On ss-eXamination by Major
Lee the witness said that only about per
cent of the canned beef issued to the men
was used by them. That which was not
traded to the Porto Rican- stoFekeepers for
other food was thrown away.
Major George w. Ruthers. OF the Com
missary Department. testified that he had
issued the ratiOns for the Seventh Army
Corps at Jacksonville and at Savannah At
Savannah he had heard no complaint
against the refrigerated beef and had re-
ceived only three complaints at Jackson
Vile. Major Ruthers said that he had no
knowledge of canned roast beef before the
war. He stated to the Court that it was
his belief that the canned roast beef issued
by him was of the same quality as that
packed for ordinary commercial purposes
-. Curtis Guild. of Boston, Inspector
General OF the Seventh Army Corps, testi-
fed that the refrigerated beef was salts
factory, but that the canned roast beef was
not. At Jacksonville he rejected AZ, 900
pounds because 1t was putrid.

The letter was the outcome Of an enquiry
made By Senator Mcmillan scme time ago
when he sought to learn whether the Mu,uzl
District Messenger Company could legally
run wire into the residence of Admiral
Selfridge, at the corner of Columbia Road
and kaloraha Avenue northwest. The OBJ
ject in wiring the residence would be to
afford burglar protection.
IL is stated in the letter TO Senator Ne
MILAN that the District Commissioners
believe from information received from
the foreman OF the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company, that the Mutual
District Messenger Company has wire on
the line of poles of the former company on
Columbia Road. II this wire belongs TO
the Mutual Company the Commissioners
declare it was strung without authority.
The District authorities are not aware
of any permits issued to the Mutual Com
pany for stringing wires making house
connections, and for this reason they take
the stand that permission should not now
be granted for a connection with what is.
so far as can be ascertained, unau-
thoriZed wire.
Until three years ago no effort was made
by the District Commissioners to have the
Engineer Department prepare plats and
records OF all the wires existing in the
District of Columbia. Since that time
however, the wires of the electric lighting
and telephone companies have been pretty
generally located and mapped. Numerous
wires exist. however. which were strung
at times and by parties unknown 10 the
District Commissioners. The wires strung
by the Mutual District Messenger Com
pany are stated by the Commissioner 10
fall within this category. as that company
has persistently refused TO assist the Com
missiOners in any manner in their effort
to obtain information as to the location
and extent of their lines.
