THE MOST CRUEL PEOPLE,"
That's What Lillian Bell Says of thu
French.

Miss Lillian Bell, just home from =
five months tour of France, is telling
why she doesn't like the French peo-
pie.
Il was in Paris when the news of the
Dreyfus pardon CAME said she yester-
day as she received visitors in her
drawing room.
Il wanted to join a mob, but I
couldn't. for there was no Dreyfus mob
to join. The only thing I could do was
TO write a telegram OF c0ngratulation
to Mrs. Dreyfus. The telegraph oper-
atcr nearly snapped my head off and,
having paid for the sending, 1 fed.
The French are the most cruel. bru-
tai people have ever seen. Once you
have touched a Frenchman's pocket
book you have touched his soul"
Miss Bell is preparing a novel, the
scene of which is laid in Paris, to ap-
pear serially in 1901. 1t is to be called

A BATTLE WITH A BIRD.
After a Desperate Struggle the Loon
Killed the Indian

The loon, or great northern diver. is
powerful bird. The following in
stance of one OF them conquering a
man, happened a few years ago.
A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake Nova Scotia. wanted 10
get the skin of one of these beautiful
birds to present to his mistress on her
birthday.
One day the youth, who was an adept
at initiating the peculiar sobbing cry
of the loon, succeeded in calling a bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however. failed to kill outright, and
the bird. although so severely wound
ed that it could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water
The boy, thinking that his game did
not need another shot, swan out to
retrieve it: but when he approached
near enough to seize the bird, it sud
denly made a dash at him, sending its
head and neck out with q spring like
an arrow from a bow. 1t was only by
a quick duck of his head that the In
dian succeeded in evading the blow. He
swan about the loon several times, at
tempting to dash in and seize him by
the neck. but the wary bird succeeded
in foiling each effort by continually
facing him. and lunging out with his
powerful neck.
The Indian then swan up to within
a few feet OF the bird, and diving under
him. with considerable skill caught him
by the legs. He carried him under.
and although the bird struggled fierce
ly, managed to retain his hold. But
when they both rose to the surface
again 4 battle royal began, the Indian
seeking to carry his prize ashore and
the bird attempting to regain his free
dom The bird, however. was too much
fer his foe. and before the Indian had
covered a yard on his shore bound
course, disabled him with a vicious
blow from his beak full on the naked
chest.
The effect of the blow was almost in
simultaneously fatal, for the beak pene-
trated close to the youths heart

TALLON's APPEAL NOT IN VAIN
Parnell Home Will be Saved and Tam
many Will Help Literally.

Tammany hall will raise SO, 900 to lift
the mortgage on the Parnell homestead
in County Wicklow, Ireland This
amount was guaranteed Saturday af-
ternoon by the thirty-five district lead
ers of the organization. Each leader
said he would be responsible for a con-
tribution from his district of 5000.
About ten days before election, -
Croker said to the leaders Saturday,
Lord Mayor Talon OF Dublin and
John E. Redmond called upon me- They
told me that the Parnell homestead in
the County Wicklow, Ireland. was
about to be sold under foreclosure pro-
ceedings, and that $4,000 was required
to save it. They said that the Acad-
envy of Music meeting had netted 5000
and that $4,000 was needed. 1 told
them that Tammany hall would raise
the $4,000, but l did not wish the mat
ter made public until after election,
because some persons might charge
that we We're making ante-election po-
litical capital
Now, 1 think it is fitting that we
should raise the money to save the old
home of Charles Stewart Parnell. He
mortgaged it to raise funds to help him
in his great fight for home rule, and
this organization has always been
fighting for home rule in this city.
Acting under a guarantee by me.
Mayor Talon and Mr.. Redmond have
cabled over to Ireland to postpone the
sale of the Parnell homestead. and it
has been saved. 1 suggest that you
call your general committees together
and ask for subscriptions. Make it d
popular subscription and receive con-
tributions of twenty-five cents and up

UNPOPULAR, BUT is 1T FALSEs
A Courageous Address on Trusts by
e. d. Kenna.

At the opening of Knox college,
Galesburg, ILL.,, a few days since,
E. D. Kenna, formerly at the head
Of the Frisco law department but
now first vice president of the
Santa Fe railway, at Chicago, de-
livered an address, which, consid-
ering the prevalent anti. trust SEN
timent, stamps him as a man Of
courage. Mr.. Kenna begun his
legal career a comparatively few
years ago in the Office of John
O'Day, when that gentleman was
at the head of the Frisco railway
at St. Louis. Very soon he had
charge of the Frisco's affairs and
when that corporation was d.
vorced from the Santa Fe, during
the receivership, he went to the
latter and stronger company. DE
has therefore had ample opportu-
nifty to study the subject which he
was discussing, though of course
from the corporation standpoint,
largely. The anti-monopoly cry
he held to be delusive. He rep
resented that this country has
prospered by fostering monopolies,
which have decreased the price of
products and increased wages. He
declared wrong the idea that an
individual like Carnegie can amass
wealth without limit and control
great industry. while $4,000 peo-
pie cannot unite their savings and
do business as a corporation. Mr..
Kenna then held that labor unions
are the only organizations that
come under the prescriptions Of
antitrust laws, but he claimed
they are beneficial, and that trusts
are not detrimental to them. He
criticised the evils of oyer-cap.

Praise and Honor for the
Dead but Kicks for
the Living.

Inc people OF CoHeyVllle are
making big preparations for
the return Of the Goth Kansas
from Manila and for a grand
blowout in honor of Capt. Elliott,
who for fifteen years was editor of
a newspaper in that city. Captain
Elliott is dead of course, or "there
would be none SO poor to do him
honor" He spent the best years
of his life in praising and BOOM
ing the town; and If there are any
lies to his account, it is what he
said daily and weekly about the
good people of his town. They
have invited all the towns in
southern Kansas to pitch in and
help honor the dead editor. When
he was alive and working tor them
daily and hourly, the meanest
thing they could say about him
was too good. Flowers will be
laid on his grave with lavish hand,
until 1t is a wilderness of roses
and jessamine; whom he was alive
and asked for bread, they gave
him a stone. If he exposed
wrong, or pointed out an evil, he
was the subject Of uncharitable and
lying invective. II, in the dis
charge of mis- duties as an editor of
public journal he essayed to ex.
pose the.corruption of some petty
official, he was characterized as
disturber of the peace and med
dler. If he raised his voice against
the saloon he was accused of try
ing to drive trade away from the
town. If he espoused the cause of
schools they declared he was the
paid dupe and emissary of some
cabal. The records will show that
if he showed his head for an Office,
it was promptly hit by every sa-
loon bully and pimp in the town,
and lots of good citizens clapped
their hands and sicked on the mob.
Elliott had to cross the seas and
stand in battle line and be killed
before the neighbors could find
out that he was a great and good
man. They accepted his thou
sands of galleys of praise, and
when he happened to print an
item that reflected on some scamp
in high position, they threatened
to stop the paper. Yes, gather in
the thousands and shout the
praises of the soldier, but don't
mention the editor. Engrave upon
his tomb his rank in the army, but
don't say a word Of his years Of
toll and struggle for the upbuild-
ing Of Coffeyville.
