President Loubet's Relatives.
lFrom the London slar. J

NJ. Loubet the new President was born
in Montelimar-where the nougat comes
from-and representative of the Matin'
found the little town en- fete for his ele
walton to the Chief Magistracy of France
When the news arrived on Saturday night
the houses suddenly biossomed out into
tricolor flags.
The Presidents brother in-law. VI. Fred
eric Denis, is now proprietor OF the IRON
monger's shop where. in 1857, Marie Denis.
aged eighteen. was sought out and wOOed
by NJ. Loubet, then a rising young barris-
ter al Montelinar.
The father of Mile Denis had come from
Picardy without sou, and first obtained
employment at d local nailsmith's- He
became a nailmaker himself, and prospered
so exceedingly that when, in 1879, he died,
leaving the business to his two boys, Phil
ibert and Frederic. the brothers of Nine.
Loubet, he left goo OG0 or 400 0)0 francs.
Finally, Phiibert died in his turn. and
the establishment came into the hands of
Frederic. Doubly so, for he married his
brothers widow.
M Emile LOubet," says his brOther-in-
law has always been what is called
a bucheur. Up at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing he never goes 10 bed before II D. m.
Nothing extraordinary has ever happened
to him. but he is a good fellow and an
honest one
NJ Loubet's father was a simple peasant,
who lived by the sweat of his brow. He
is dead now, but Nine. Loubet still lives at
little farm at Marsanne, four lIiiOme-
tres from Montelimar. She is eighty-siX
years old, and is still good walker, with
a clear eye who likes to do everything
herself, and to keep her eye on everything.
The brother-in-law has no intention OF
abandoning his ironmongering. Il am de-
lighted at what has happened. he says,
but you have no idea what a bore il is 10
have a member of your family something
in the government a lot of people come
to see you to get them places Only this
morning l had four letters from people
wanting to be recommended 10 my brother
in-law.
The President has son, who is his pri-
vate secretary, and a daughter, Marguerite
| twenty seven years old, who is married tC
| NJ. Soubeyran' de Saint Prixe, a magistrat;
at Marseilles.
/ AS for the aged Madame Loubet, she re
| ceived the news of her sons elevation Will
| regret. "Oh. my poor Emile!" she cried
las it was, l saw but little of him, anC
now that he has gone still higher, l shall
no longer see him at all. Oh. mon Dieu
mon Dieu,''
NJ. Loubet is said not TO be a rich man
| but he has begun his Presidency by Civ
| ing 20, 900 francs for the poor of Paris. 90

which brought him from Versailles. ant

steamer for the use Of the party, which will
be chartered for the special purpose. The
steamer will first stop al 0reytown where
the harbor and the Nicaragua Canal will
be inspected. Leaving Greytown the party
viii visit the harbor at Colon, and make
thorough inspection of the surrounding
c6o1tfe and The Papama- Canal, as now
partially constructed, and the advantages
and route of the proposed completion will
be explained to the members of the party.
After the investigation of the canal coun-
try has been completed the party will sail
around the island of Cuba and visit many
of the interesting ports there. Quite
stay will be made at Santiago where the
battlefields will be visited. A special trip
will be made TO San Juan Hill and what re-
mains of Cervera's feet will also be visited.
The party will return in about month,
probably reaching New York April %.

A New Explosive.
(From the London Daily Mail.)

Australia has produced cricketers and seuliers,
and frozen meat and Irish NJ. P.s, and now il
has produced explosive the name whereof
is kallenite.
The advantages of the invention are claimed
to be numerous, and 1t is worthy of note that 1t
has obtained the approval OF the government OF
Victoria and mining managers assert that after
blasting with it go back to work IN the
faces more quickly than after using any other ex-
plosiye 1t contains non-explosive material,
whereas No. ] dynamite contains 20 per cent
gelgnite per cent and blasting gelatine per
cent.
The government chemist calculates that II pos
sesses five or six times the strength OF No.
dynamite Moreover it can be manufactured at a
verv low cost. Its absorbent material basis Is
composed of eucalyptus and ti-tree leaves. which
are almost as common in Australia as blades OF
grass are in England The remaining ingredients
are OF course as yet a trade secret.
most successful experiment was carried out
quite recently in Sydney. The Minister for Works
and others who observed the experiment carried
out from safe distance were all well impressed
with the power OF kallenite, which is claimed to
be an entirely Australian composition. 1t is stat
ed that when the government tests are complete,
if the new material is finally pronounced to be as
excellent as it now bids fair to be, mandatory
for Its production and export will be established
In Sydney.

Members Of Congress Invited by the

Canal People.
in order that the members of Congress
may have an opportunity to inspect the
relative advantages of the Nicaragua and
Panama Canals, the officials of the Pana-
ma Canal Company have extended an in
vitation 10 about sixty Senators and Rep
resentatives TO visit the two countries
and make thorough investigation of the
prospects for the most advantageous ca
nal The invitation was extended 10 Chair
man Burton, of the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors. and to Senator Frye
Chairman of the Senate Commerce COM
mittee, on the last day of Congress for
their consideration. II has now been ek-
tended TO many OF the Senators and Rep
resentatives who are still in Washington.
The arrangements for the contemplated
trip are now under consideration and il is
probable that the party will be a large
one. The invitations have not been lin
tied to the members of committees who
are interested in the canal question but
the outside members of Congress have also
been invited

leave New oYrk about March % and will

ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE.
Flour Men to Test the War Reyenu'
Law.

New York, March 15.-The constitution
ality of the war revenue law is to be tested
by flour manufacturers in this city. Some
time ago the Hecker Jones-Jewell Milling
Company informed the collectors office
that they had On November % sold pack
ages of the -four manufactured by them
without complying with the provisions of
the war revenue law, and that they had
continued to do so since that time and
further, intended to continue such sales
until the question of the constitutionality
of the act was determined by the courts.
The law requires that every manufacturer
of mixed -four. which is defined as -four
made from wheat mixed with any other
grain or other material, shall pay a special
AK of $12 a year.
7 The matter was brought to the attention
of United States District Attorney Burnett
and yesterday on the sworn complaint OF
jeremiah ]. Sullivan, deputy collector OF
the Third district. a summons was issued
by United States Commissioner Shields re
quiring the managers of the Hecker- Jones'
Jewell Milling Company to show cause on
March %. why they should not be COM
PEELED to pay the special tax as required by
the war revenue law

woRKMEN NEVER SEE CASH
Paid i'm store Orders and Never Han
die Money.

The pitiable condition of American work.
ingmen in southern New Jersey was
learned today by the Industrial Commits
sion d. A. Hayes. President of the Glass
Bottle Blowers Association of America,
was on the stand.
The law compelling payment of labor
ers in money is constantly violated in New
Jersey" he said, especially in South Jer-
sey where the non union foreign blowers
are employed. Hundreds of these men
never see a dollar of money from years
beginning 10 years ending They are paid
entirely in store orders, and of course, pay
eXorbitant prices for every thing they
buy. These men have the right to sue
the companies for this violation, but
such action would mean discharge and
blacklsting they never do.
The same condition exists in Pennsyl-
vania." Mr.. Hayes explained at length
the condition of the glass blowers trade
past and present and said that the law pro-
hibiting the Importation of contract labor
is frequently violated.
Glass blowers who were able TO work at
their trade 10 the age of sixty or over,
are now compelled to quit at forty-five on
account of the added strain caused by mod
ern methods.
