The latest French attempt at murder
bears the ear marks Of lively French
imagination. A vindictive Frenchwom-
an sends very small fshhooks imbedded
in bonbons to detested rival and then
revels in pictures Of that rivals agony
when the fishhooks have seized hold
upon her hated vitals But the hated
rival appears to have eaten the bonbons
and expelled the fishhooks. This is not
a circumstance to the case of the French
opera singer who applied to the cele-
brated chemist Lavelot for cobra poison
to give to her enemy and which poison
Lavelot promptly furnished. After wait
ing for weeks to hear that her enemy
was corpse and becoming slowly
aware that the enemy was growing
more feshy and beautiful the vindictive
creature came to the conclusion that
the chemist had fooled her with gum
and water. With indomitable persever-
ance she then secured the, real venom
from India and proceeded to furnish it
regularly to her victim. Upon this the
victim aourished better than on the
gum and water, and then the vindictive
creature in despair went to Lavelot,
who gave her the pleasing information
that real cobra poison and gum and
water were about equal in their deadly
properties when taken into the stomach.

OUR POSITION.

Mir. J. D. Monihon has been nomi- mated by the republican convention for mayor of this town. The Republican cannot support him. His course has been criticized by this journal from the time that he joined hands with the mossbacks in opposition to the plan to improve the city's water and sewer age systems, up to the very eve of the convention. We do not believe that he possesses a single qualification for the responsible office which he covets. Holding this vI.W, The Republican could not utter word in his favor without stultifying itself. It has too much self respect to set party above principle. It has faith that it's patrons will endorse it's position
 The other nominees of the conven- tion are acceptable to The Republican and will receive it's cordial support

IT MAY QUEER sToRER.
He Wrote a Poem That Is Likely to
 Offend the Dons.

It is possible that poem written by Bellamy Storer during the late war will make I'm persona non grata to the Spanish court should it be read in Madrid. The poem was written un- der the inspiration of a paragraph in an article published in the Paris Temps on the destruc,' on Of the Spar sh fleet off Santiago. It was sent to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and was given by her to Harper's Weekly, in which it was published. The following is the translation of the paragraph in ques- tion, with the poem:
 If it is true that all the Spanish fleet have been destroyed except a sim gle ship it is a disaster almost equal to that of the Grand Armada. Once more the sea has betrayed Spain to the profit of that Anglo-Saxon race which ap- pears decidedly, under whatever flag it fights-under the stars and stripes, or under the union jach-to have all the favors of that element.

 Telling all Russia, gigantic and

 Telling the feudal boy-kaiser re-

 What the Spanish armada by Howard
 was told;
 What the winds to the salt seas for
 ages have sung,
 Telling the powers:
 ''TEe oceans is ours.
 Together we pull,
 Nelson and Farragut,
 Rodney and IIull.'
 Ger the Pacific
 Comes the roar of ship guns

 Drake's message from Dewey: we
 sank their fiotilla In spite of their forts! As you did,
 we've done!
 The ocean is ours,
 The ocean is ours. Together we pull,
 Nelson and Farragut,
 Rodney and Hull"
 The ministry of Spain just after the war is a most delicate mission. The SGuSlLlN0 oJauIdIu H1lSIC 1OL WOA- come a minister who had glorified the.r defeat in verse. The reference to the armada and to '.singeing the beard of ithe Don" would probably arouse resentment if read in Madrid. There is 8 possibility, therefore, that the Belgian minister may retain his house in Brussels.
