HUMBERTs QUESTION.

cialist. called attention 10 recent revela-
tions by the Eclair. and invited the
government TO reply 10 the accusation
that the Temps had been working for
the Dreyfus party He created vlo-
lent tumuH by declaring that the gov
ernment had been an "accomplice in
the miserable work which consists In
playing the game OF the enemies of
France"
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau interviewed. de-
claring that the government wished to
record formal indignant protest
against the allegation OF M. Humbert.
The premier went on to explain that
all agents had received formal orders
not To depart from their official func-
tions. The alleged documents referred
TO by the Eclair had been offered, he
said, 10 the managing director or the
Temps. who had laiu the matter before
the minister OF war.
NJ. Humbert, however. Insisted that
neither the premier nor the minister
OF war had shown that the Temps haI
not meddled in the affair in the inter
est OF the Dreyfusards. and he declared
that there existed at the ministry OF
war letters from the Temps the object
OF which was TO revive the Dreyfus
agitation.
This Nat contradiction provoked an
uprOar, drowning the remainder OF Nj.
Humbert's speech.
When order was restored the presi-
dent OF the chamber submitted the
resolution of M. Chapuis. with an ad-
dition by M. Camille Krantz, Republi-
can. in these words:
And no longer allow detectives to
place themselves at the service of
private interests"
The motion Of M. Chspuis without
the proposed addition was adopted by
457 votes against 7S.
The chamber then adjourned until
Monday next.

The oondola Is Doomed.


Who ever thought of Venice without
thinking of gondolas? Probably eight
out of ten people could tell you moth
ing more of the picturesque city In
Italy than that its inhabitants ride in
gondolas rather than in cable cars.
Nevertheless, like many other tnstitu-
tions beautiful to the eye and dear to
sentiment, gondolas are disappearing.
The substitute for these beautiful.
swan-like boats Is almost too shocking
to appear in print. A. "Steam Trans
portation company" has been organ
lied, and is scattering the seeds of
nervous prostrations among the Vene-
tians by establishing system OF
shrieking, putting, noisily obtrusive
little steamboats, to run even on the
smallest canals. Of course, there have
been for many years boats running on
the grand canal. Now the service is to
be so extended as to embrace the en-
tire city. For the love of tradition" !"
protest the Venetians, "for the love Of
beauty, for the love of quiet. leave us
our gondolas and spare us this smok-
ing, shrieking horror"

Relatives In Business.

Nothing Is more natural than that
father and sons. brothers and cousins,
should supplement their family ties
with close business connections, and,
without doubt. large proportion Of
partnerships will always be formed by
members of the same family. While
there. are many advantages IN this
natural custom. 1T is question whether
its disadvantages are not at least
equal. Relatives frequently have little
in common beside the tie of kindred,
which is not of their making or choos-
ing. Their kinship itself often endows
them with like dispositions, and II each
OF two partners has inherited an ag>
gressive temperament, it will be q
marvel II clashes are not frequent.
Moreover, business quarrels become
family quarrels, and family quarrels
business quarrels, which Is a bad thing
either way. Partnerships formed on
the basis of mutual liking and COM
patability and the special fitness of the
different members for divergent
branches Of the firms routine are far
more likely to be agreeable, lasting and
profitable. Failures and dissolutions
because Of dissensions between related
partners are sfar too common. It is
well enough that relatives should en-
gage In business together. hut their
partnership should be based on COM
mon sense and business principles.
and they should be friends as well as
kinsmen. Clothiers and Haberdashere'

From the Washington Star: Talk

Race horses. mean thoroughbreds.

ago-a horse. mean, of course. He
was q great one. and few of them
could show him the way In. Yet that
fellow couldn't be exercised in pre-

about it. either. for he knew just as
well whether the boy was fully dress

him.

that wouldn't associate with other
horses. and the consequence was that
we had to train him by himself.
Actually had to wait every time until
every other horse was of the track.
Then, when he had the whole track to
himself, we had all we could do to
get him off when we thought he had
been given enough. This same one we
had to send to the post by himself,
and when we got him there we had
to keep him away to one side, OF from
the bunch. Another one I had was
just the opposite, for he wouldn't go
on the track, either for exercise or for
a race, unless he was accompanied by
another horse.
Then there is the horse that runs
true as long as he is In the lead. but

moment another one gets near him

there is the horse that tries all the
