liable work on the Comparative Budgets

On the retirement of VI. Cassimir-P erier,
who resigned the presidency Jan. 16, 1895,
he was chosen President by 400 votes;T as
against 361 given 10 Henri Brisson, the
election taking place Jan. II, 1895. ,t-
All who came into contact with him
have described him as extremely winning
in character. as well as in appearance.
His presence was finer than that of any
of his predecessors in the presidency OF
the third republic. Black eyebrows and
mustache, contrasted with snowy, close
cut hair, his features were finely shaped,
the figure tall and well knit, the eyes
well set and serious.
In 1897 NJ. Faure went to st. Petersburg
to return the visit of Emperor Nicholas,
and while there the definite announcement
of the treaty of alliance between France
and Russia was made. He filled many inn
portant public offices, but, in the midst
Of almost general corruption, he passed
unscathed.

damage done by the cold Of Feb. 10.
Reports received tonight by the Times
Union and Citizen from all sections of the
orange belt indicate that the cold wave
did not do much permanent damage, and

Outside of the tender spring growth on
the orange trees, the trees remain unln-
jured. and in the lower belt it is predicted
the next orange crop will be larger than
1T was this season.
Reports received from the vegetable dis
tricts say that truckers have gone to work
with great energy to repiant, and the
spring output OF market vegetables viii

RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.
The Attitude of Germans at This
Time Is Regretted.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Inquiry touching
the negotiations between the United States
and Germany relative to a reciprocity ar
rangement under the terms of the Dingiey
tariff act, develops the fact that while
these have not progressed very rapidly of
late, principally owing to the deep absorp-
ton of the officials charged with tariff
questions in the Canadian negotiations, yet
on the whole there has been some ad-
vancement and certainly nothing has oc
CURED that from the United States point
of view would indicate failure of the ne
gotiations.
Therefore it is regretted that the temper
of Germany not only of the unofficial news
papers, but also of the official class, as re-
vealed in the public declarations of cab'-
net officers has taken a turn that promises
to retard instead of assisting these nego-

A MINE HERO.
He Eisked His Life to lave That of ?
Fellow Work man.

He Eiskef His Life to Save That of ?
Fellow Work man.
Salt Lake Herald: Heber Franklin,
a young man employed at the Clear
Creek mine, is as much a hero as any
man who ever braved death on the
battlefield. Franklin sought not glory,
but to save a human life. There was
a fire in the mine. The men were
called out. Then they were about to
shut off the air in order to stop the
flames, when it was learned that a lone
miner was working deep in the mine
beyond the point where the fire started
and was then raging with growing
strength. Here is the story Of the sub
sequent events: Foreman Thomas i'm
mediately, called for volunteers to go
with hinf into the mine to rescue the
man. Several attempts were made by
different ones, but they were driven
back by the flames, and the cry of
"Powder!" caused a hasty retreat.
Finally Heber Franklin, e young man
whose work keeps him on the outside,
said: II will co." And, accompany
ing Foreman Thomas, he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tamping a hole, entirely
unconscious of the danger threatening
him. They succeeded in getting out Of
the mine safely, when the fan was
shut off and the dip closed up. The
rescue was an act of great bravery on
the part of Franklin, as his work kept
him on the outside and he was un-
acquainted with the exact lay Of the
land inside, and the danger Of sufo-
cation from black damp was great. He
was the only ma of the many stand
ing by whose nerve did not desert him.
It is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more of lost time would
have resulted in the death Of the miner
who was at work and possibly a great
loss to the company, as the supply Of
air could not be cut off while there
was any hope of rescue, and this would
have tended to feed the flames.
