Columbus, o., March 6.-Attorney
General Monet declares that he was
offered s40O 600 to close his fight on the
Standard Oil company.
Monet arrived home from Michigan
today. When he was asked for state

Rice at Marietta that he had been offer
ed $4,000 to drop the prosecution of the
Standard Oil company he hesitated, but
finally said:
1t is true that such an offer was
made TO me, and it was made in an Of
fee in the presence of Smith W. Ben
nett, my brother-in-law and assistant
counsel in this case. 1t was made soon
after returned from Washington early
in February, after making arguments

The offer was made through a man
who is a friend of mine and L should be
sorry to see him involved in the case. 1
do not think he appreciated the wrong
he was doing.
When 1 told him that nothing would
induce me to desist in my efforts to en-
force the law and the orders of the
court he complimented me upon my pO-
sition- 1 will not tell you the name of
the man. He does not live here. He is
a Cleveland man. That will probably
set good many others at rest, who

WALES CALLS ON LOUBET.
France Becoming More Friendly With
Great Britain.

Paris, March 6.-That the Prince of
Walesh should have been the first of
foreign royalties to present his respects
in person to the new president of the
republic has created an excellent i'm
preston here, and his reception at the
EIysee was marked by altogether I'M
usual cordiality. In fact, his presence
in Paris is doing much toward dissipat-
ing the bitter feelings which have pre-
vailed toward England of late. The
prince is so popular here among all
classes, and so genial and unaffectedly
friendly in all his relations with the
French people, that he is greatly liked.
1t is true that one or two of the gut
ter organs of the Partisan press, espec-
tally two or three newspapers of the
anti Dreyfus type, continue to denounce
England, and even go SO far as to assal
the aged queen with bitter abuse. But
among the masses of French people the
feeling toward England has undergone
a notable improvement. For friendlier
relations prevail today than for some
time. and when the queen, ignoring the
insults of the Partisan newspapers men
toned, takes up her residence in the
south of France next week, thus show
ing her confidence in the chivalry and
in the courteous hospitality of France.
it is probable that the memories of
Fashoda will be effaced.

THE system is so iniQuitous that men

TO MAKE HIM BANKRUPT.
Depositors of the Nationa
Bank After Martindale.

Emporia, March 6.-About so deposit
ors of the First National bank met at
the courthouse Saturday afternoon. The
report of the committee appointed last
week was read. 1t was devoted entire
ly to Mr.. Martindale, and the burden
of it was to get Martindale into vOlun-
tary bankruptcy. 1t seems that the
committee went to Martindale to get
him to appoint a joint trustee with
Hood, and he refused. Then they asked
him to go into bankruptcy, and he re-
fused. The committee then asked the
depositors to consider the proposition
of forcing Martindale into bankruptcy.
The meeting then agreed to take up
subscription to hire an attorney to force
Martindale into bankruptcy. 1t was
agreed that 500 was needed. Consider
able discussion followed and Martindale
was hauled over the Goals rather merci-
lessly.

ANTI-SENTIMENTAL CLUB.

C'rom the ST. Louis Post-Dispa tch.)
The latest Woman's club to compete for
Club organized in Illinois by some well
known women
According to the account of this singu-
lar organization printed in the Sunday
Post-Dispatch its motto is. Don't wear
your heart on your sleeve" The object
is to distinguish between honest. healthy
sentiment and mere sentimentality, which
tends to become maudlin and is always
artificial and more or less hypocriticaL
But the habit of sentimentalitv is not
broken by force of club resolution. The
ladies cannot resolve it away. Men who
declare that they are beyond f1attery are
most f1attered when told that they hate
f1atterers. So a sentimentahst is often
most sentimental when she (or he) pro-
tests that she is not.
The habit can best be broken by strict
adherence to common sense and by not
refining upon motives; also by avoiding
self pity and a good understanding of the
undoubted fact that one is not very i'm
pOrtaut after all.
