NOTES FROM TIE PARIS Elk.
POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit, To-
Gated in Group XIII, Class 70, at the
Paris international Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by Wis.,
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
International Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, AID this
distinction of absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received 81 distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine, we would re-
spectfully advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"

ANSWER TO FRENCH NOTE.
Il Has Been Pretty Well Defined
But Awaits the Return Of
the President.
SOME POINTS WE CANNOT CONCUR IN.
There are Some, Tee, on which the
Executive Might LsOk Favorabfy,
But which Constitutional Rea-
sens would Suggest that They be
Submitted to Congress.


Washington, Oct. 6.-The American
answer to the French note, which is
the pending phase of the Chinese no.
gotiations to be disposed of, has been
pretty well defined, although it will
remain for the return of the presi-
dent and meeting of the cabinet to
give the answer formal defniteness.
Already, however, limitations have
been conveyed to some of the foreign
representatives that this government
may not be able to concur in the in
terdiction OF the import of arms into
China, and also at least two of tho
French proposals to be submitted to
the American congress before they
can be acted upon affirmatively.
For Congregational Action.
These two latter propositions re-
late to the Establishment of a permn-
nent legation guard at Pekin, and to
the permanent maintenance of line
of communication from Pekin to the
sea. The permanency of these plans
appears to involve possibility of ter
ritorial occupation, though of a linn
tied character, both at Pekin and
along the road from Pekin to the sea,
and it is understood that even il
these moves were regarded with
favor by the executive branch, there
would be constitutional reasons max.
ing it desirable to submit them To
congress.
Only In - Tentative Way.
This idea has been put forward only
in tentative way, as indicating to
foreign Representatives some of the
questions which will have to be taken
into account in giving an answer to
the French note. The document is
not regarded, however, as one which
must be accepted or rejected as a
whole. The efforts of NJ. Delcasse to
secure basis of settlement are fully
appreciated here by the officials here.
and this view doubtless will find ex.
preston in the American answer.
The Imperial Court.
The news which the United State,
government has received of the pur-
pose of the Chinese imperial court to
take up its abode at Tsingan Flu, in
the province of Shensi, comes from
Japan official sources, but so far
there has been nothing from the Chi
nese officials to show that the move.

La Crosse, Wis.,, Oct. Ga severe
rain storm, accompanied by terrific
electrical display, swept over the up
per Mississippi valley Friday night.
The principal damage done is to the
farmers, and their loss will be heavy.
The recent rains have caused tre-

the Mississippi in a few days. How
ever, it comes too late to help logging

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6.-The strik-
Ing miners remain very quiet, await

of the opinion that President Mitchell
will accept the ten per cent. increase

CHARGES FRAUD.
Alleged Plan to swindIe Life

Charges of an attempted insurance
swindle that cost the life of one of
the alleged swindlers are made by j,
II. Hurd. Of the Laboringmen's Co
operative Life association, who has
returned to Sioux City from an in
vestigation of the case.
George A. Barber, of Webster City,
who held a policy of 81 500 in the COM
pany, is dead at Pagosa, Col, and Mrs.
Mary Wright, of Chicago, and w. R.
Neff are held at Pagosa to appear at

Barber met Mrs. Wright in Chicago
last summer and took her to Denver
where Neff appeared. The policy was
made payable to Mrs. Wright, who
was alleged to be Barber's affianced
Mr.. Hurd charges that the policy
was taken out with an intention to
defraud, although in the original plan
he says BARRIERS ueath was not to be
reality. Later, he says, the scheme
was changed, and he makes the asser-
ton that Barber, who died of convul-
sions in a hotel Office, was poisoned.

EXoNERATEs SHEPPARD.
vestigate soldiers' Home mt Bath
-Cnnteen Profits Misnpplied.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. l7.-The state
board of charities has transmitted to
Gov. Roosevelt the report of the in
vestigation by the boards committee
of the management of the New York
state soldiers and sailors home at
Bath. The investigation, which has
attracted considerable attention, was
commenced over a year ago. Com
mandant Sheppard was charged with
drunkenness and also with having in
dividual bills paid out of the state
fund. The finding of the committee
is that the charges against the COM
mandant were not proved, the final
conclusion being that the interests of
the home would have been promoted
by the retention of Mr.. Sheppard, who
resigned from his duties.
The committee finds, however, that
the post exchange funds made up
from the sales at the canteen had
been misapplied. The law with rela-
ton to this fund provides that the
proceeds shall be used for the support
of library and reading room of the
home and for the comfort of it's men,
bers. 1t was shown that the proceeds
of this fund had frequently been used
for the purchase of liquors, including
champagne.
The committee, in its report, refers
to the fact that on the principal thor
oughfares of the home are located IA
saloons. These saloons are within a
short distance of the gates. are far
from being of high type and are
supported mainly by the pension mon
eys of the members of the home.

the inheritance tax should have gone

levied heavy inheritance taxes. But
if it was to remain he was opposed to
reducing the exemption to $1,000. The
amendment was lost, As to SO.
