BATHS IN PARIS.
A Novelty Experienced But Twice During
Tho Year.

A Novelty Experienced But Twice During
| Tho Year.
The question Of baths-or the qucs-
| tion Of no baths, rather-is one which
| every writer in Paris is constantly ex-
ploring, yet 1t is no wonder that such
a theme is exhaustless since the so
| journing foreigner who writes has the
material for copy" on this subject
constantly before him.
An English girl was telling me Of
her bath experience in Paris. Having
just arrived and smacking Of her
soil as only an English girl can, She
hailed a bath man who was passing
the street. When he had carried his
tub ponderously up to her apartments
she tried to explain to him that she
wanted to buy it. At first her efforts
of explanation failed utterly, and the
man calmly proceeded to arrange the
bath for immediate occupancy. Final
ly the girl succeeded in conveying to
his mind an impression of what was
in her own. / was about to say that
she made him understand that she ac-
tually wanted to buy the tub for every
day use: hut no Frenchman could be
made to understand so stupendous d
fact.
The man was dumbfounded. He ex-
planned that the tub was his only steel;
in trade, and that with it he furnished
two bath a year to each Of his Paris.
ian customers. One. I believe. vas
scheduled for about Christmas time,
and the other ought. according even to
French ideals of cleanliness, happen
about the great July holidays. lTe
furthermore explained that the madam
Of the Pension, where the English girl
lived, had taken a bath a few days be-
fore, and then had gone to bed for two
days from sheer exhaustion, as she
frankly explained.
This all sounds awfully exaggerated,
but 1t isn't. An American mother
whom I know, put her small daughter
in a convent and requested Of the nuns
that she should be bathed at least
twice week. this being in her eyes the
smallest possible favor she could ask
for her child, who had, up to this time,
been bathed every day Of her life. The
sister of whom the request was made
looked embarrassed and explained that
the children were not bathed in the
conrent. but that when the parents
thaHgEt 1t necessary to ablute their
sroall bodies. they were taken to a bath
hose near by
These remarks by foreigners on the
lack Of bathing facilities in France
enrage French people; but If they
would become enraged sufficiently to
add such comforts to their houses and
institutions, they would certainly raise
themselves in the eyes of those who
come from foreign shores.

A FLUSH OF ANGER.

"A disrobing scene upon the stage
is not necessarily offensive to the cor
rect TASTE nor unpleasant!y sugges-
tive" remarked an nld-time theatre
goer, who was discussing "The Tur-
tle." Everything depends upon the
surroundirgs, and the language and
situations of the play that lead up to
it.
"I have heard silly girls and boys
giggle as the heroine in Fra Diavolo
commenced disrobing, but 1t was
quickly suppressed, and l have never
heard sound in an opera house in my
life, or noted look other than Of sol
emn reverence as she knee]ed at her
bedside, and the glorious tones of the
'Maiden's Prayer, fell with touching
influence upon every ear.
"Never save once, and ia that ex-
ception lies proof that it is but a step
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
"It was in Voting Mems hall, and
more than 80 years ago. The Camp,
bell e. Castle opera troupe was sing
ing there, with Billy Castle as Fra Di-
avolo Sher Coan (CampbelD, as Gia-
camo, and Fannie Riddel in the So
prano role.
Fannie had a fine soft rug spread
in front of her couch for her toes to
nestle in, and upon which to kneel.
The two robbers were watching her
from the wings as the lights were low
cred for the prayer scene. The grand
notes Of worshipful alteration caused
deathless silence in the crowded hall;
every ear was drinking in the SUBJ
dued harmony of the singer and Or
chestra; every eye was rivited upon
the maiden at her prisons.
Upon this scene stole hungry
Biddle house rat from a break in the
stage at the footights. He advanced
towards the motionless form of the
kneeling girl. elevated his nose, and
twisted his whiskers about in ludi-
crous manner.
"Eie was in full view of every per-
son in the auditorium, subdued nur-
mur reached the ears of the singer,
and a litter or two followed it. 1t was
her best scene, and a flush of anger
showed through the rouge and powder
as she became aware that somebody or
something was 'queering it for her.
"Quick in his artist senslbilities to
realize the modification of the gifted
soprano under such circumstances,
Giacomo made a little sortie from the
wings and lunged with his big knife
for the purpose of soaring the animal
back to his hole.
ut was an act conceived in kindness,
and executed with diIcertion and tact,
but the result was startling. Campbell's
robber makeup frightened the rat out
of it's wits, and the rush it made was
not back towards the footlights. He
sought shelter and safety in the fuzzy
rug.
"By this time Miss Riddles veXa-
uon had overcome her stage training,
and she glanced around to see what
the people were gigSling at. She saw
the rat dashing toward her disrobed
feet. With a yell that curdled the
blood, she bounded upon the bed and
swooned."

IN MEMORIAM.
w. B. X. Pays a Tribute to the
Memory of His Deceased
Friend.

1t Is always sad and painful duty to
pay the last tribute to the memory OF
one who has departed from our midst
to enter upon nobler and more glori-
,ous life in the great unknown beyond,
and, as we realize that the vacancy left
by his demise, can only with the great
est difficulty be filed, added response
bility attaches itself to the undertake
ing. From time immemorial it has
been the task of great poets and ora
tors to commemorate, by their elo-
quence the words and deeds of some
man, rich in this worlds goods or of
great fame. But true worth has too
seldom been the subject OF their able
efforts, and yet what has been more
meritorious or more deserving of that
great honor? For unpretentious vir-
tue and obedient performance of duty
shall hold the first places in the king
dom OF Heaven.
n Seldom 1t Is that our city has
thel unspeakable misfortune Of
losing a young man of such
sterling worth, OF such integrity of
character, combining so many good
qualities with such a dearth of faults
as Mr.. Frank Troutman. Upright, in
dustriOus, always seeking an opportun-
ity to serve others, OF unwavering hon
esty, unfllnching in the performance of
his duty, studious beyond his physical
capabilities, following with unceasing
care the precepts OF his Master, truly
he was one of Natures noblemen. And
seldom 1t Is, alas too seldom, that the
praise of one deceased is 80 universal
and unstinted, and the criticism notice
able only by it's absence, 1t Is not far
to find the cause. With a pleasant
word for all and greeting In hearty
friendship, he numbered among his ad-
mirers all whom he met, none could be
Indifferent to his manifold talents.
How we'll | remember the last CONVEX
sation had with him.

OF the electric light wires and the
branches OF the trees swaye6 back and
forth over the stonesidewalk with fan

moaned through the leafy tree-tops,

little group. And, urged by the
pleadings OF the other two, he was

Massillon glass blowers, who have

that ex-Constable Frank Ertle, who
mysteriously disappeared from Massil-

He is conducting a restaurant there
and seems to be doing fair business.
%ohn Malloy, who Is the guest of the
Heyman family, in Second street, is
one of those who saw Ertie in Muncie.
Everybody there thinks that Ertle Is
good fellow. The Massillonians, none
OF whom were acquainted with Mrs.
Ertle, thought that Ertle was accom-
panied by his wife. They say that he
came to Muncie about six weeks ago.
Mrs. Ertle called at the mayors Office

ON FALSE PRETENSES.
President Mckinley Is waging His War in
The Philippines.
NEW York World

New York World.l
The chief argument of the supporters
OF Mr.. McKinley's war in the Philip.
pines Is that 1t is the duty of our gov.
Vernment to "restore and maintain or.
der" in the islands. Our international
obligations and considerations of hu.
maLity, it Is urged, alike forbade our
leaving the Filipinos to anarchy and
throat-cutting."
Unfortunately for those who make
this plea, they are not able to cite any
facts to support it. There has been no
disorder in any Of the islands save
where our troops have gone to demand
in Mr.. McKinley's name, the uncondi-
tlonal submission Of the natives to the
sovereignty to the United States over
the entire archipelago"
President Schurman, late of the Peace
Commission, who has just returned
from visit in the southern islands of
the group, found no anarchy anywhere.
He reported the natives of q peaceful
disposition. The only fighting has
been with those whom they regard as
invaders. They are not at war with
themselves. They have their own civil
government, which, while not up to the
American standard, satisfies those who
ordained it and meets their needs.
The same thing was true of Luzon.
Mr.. Barrett, formerly our Minister to
Siam, who was with Dewey's fleet up
to the surrender of Manila, and after
ward spent several months there study
ing the situation, in his article in the
Review of Reviews speaks in high
terms OF the civil government and the
army organized by Agulnaldo, He
says:
'By the middle OF October, 1898, he
had assembled at Malolos Congress-
OF 100 men who would compare in be-
havior, manner, dress and education
with the average men of the better
classes OF other Asiatic nations, possi-
bly, including the Japanese. These
men, whose sessions l repeatedly at
tended, conducted themselves with
great decorum, and showed a knowl.
edge OF debate and of parliamentary
law that would not compare uufavora-
bly, with the Japanese Parliament.
This Is In harmony with the opinion
OF Admiral Dewey, given officially to
the Navy Department, that the Fill
pinos are better capable of self-govern-
ment than are the Cubans.
Through all the nine months of wait
Ing, from the investment and final cap
ture OF Manila, with the army OF the
Filipinos acting as our allies, up to the
collision with our forces in February,
there was no anarchy" or ''disorder''
In the island of LuzOn. There was
none during the centuries of Spanish
occupation, except such as Spain made
or provoked.
The purpose OF the administration
In the Philippines, so far as has been
is that of subjugation and
conquest. Spain could not deliver the
islands for which we paid $4,000 900,
and we are trying to secure possession
by force. ANY other plea Is false and
hypocritjcsl.
