GENERAL CLUSERET DEAD.
Achieved Fame In the Revolution of
Pnris In 1S4S md Cnme to America.


Toulin, Aug. 24.-M. Gustave Paul
Cluseret, famous member of the COM
mune and latterly one of the deputies
from Toulon, has died here of pneu-
monia.
Cluseret had remarkable career of
adventure. AS lieutenant in the army
during the rising in Paris in 1913, he
made himself famous by his zeal in the
repression of the Socialists and Radicals
Afterward he embarked in an unsuc-
cessful financial venture in New York
where later he raised an American
legion to aid Garibaldi in the conquest
of the Sicilies and became colonel. He
subsequently returned to America and
fought on the side of the north in the
civil war, during which he won the rank
of general.
He returned to Europe in 1867, took
part in the Fenian agitation of that
year and was accused by the newspapers
of leading, under an assumed name, the
attack on Chester castle He next went
to France and joined the revolutionary
movement. He became minister of war
under the commune and for time was
at the head of all its military operations.
He was sentenced to death for his par
ticipation in the uprising and fled the
country. He devoted himself to Journal
ism abroad and returned to Paris after
the declaration of amnesty, but was
again obliged to leave France on ac-
count of his anarchist writings. Once
more he returned to this country and
supported the late General Boulanger.
Nj. Cluseret was elected deputy from
Toulon in 1888 and had since been con-
stantly reelected.

some and gallant young cock robin,
was most attentive, and | frequently
observed signs of jealousy Oh the part
of Mr.. Oriole.
This spring, shortly before their re-
turn to town, violent windstorm
damaged the aged willow, breaking the
limb on which was the nest. Two or
three mornings later l was awakened
by the greatest twittering and chirping
you ever heard. The Oriole family
had returned and We're perched on the
limp and swaying limb, evidently dis
cussing what they had better do. Pres
emily Mr.. Oriole, accompanied by his
wife, went off. After few hours they
returned and began moving house. So
l judged they had found suitable and
safer location where they intended to
build another nest. They set to work
to pull their nest to pieces and carry
away the twigs and leaves and feath-
ers of which it was composed. Some
of those thieving sparrows noticed
what they were doing, and, slyly wait
ing till the Orioles had flown off with
their bills full of twigs and feathers,
they would pounce down upon the nest
and steal all they could. Mrs. Oriole
caught them at it after awhile. and
then she and her husband discussed
the matter. Presently they came to
satisfactory conclusion, for after that
they took turns guarding the nest
while the other would carry off parti-
cles Of 1t for their new home.
They are gone now and l miss them
sadly. They were such cheerful birds.
Mr.. Oriole was much the better dresser.
He wore costume Of orange, vermil-
ion and black. Some people used to
call them the Baltimore birds because
Lord Baltimore, who located in Mary
land in the time of Charles l, had his
servants dressed in liveries of the same
colOrs as worn by Mr.. Oriole.-Brook-

"LOPES TOO BLOoMlN 'IGH."

When the BronchO Threw Him.

When the BrOnchO Threw Him.
"Most Englishmen are considered
pretty fair horsemen, but when 1t
comes to riding bucking broncho some
of them are not in or on 1t for long"
said the owner of large cattle ranch
IN Wyoming to the writer the other
day. For instance, rich young Eng
lishman recently came out to my part
of the country in quest of some good
investment. He was at my ranch as a
guest for few days, and one after
noon as the cowboys We're about to
round UP bunch of COW ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy
good ride in the saddle. He said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,
and he didn't think we had horse
good enough for him. The boys con-
vinced him that they had one of the
finest horses on the plains, and If he
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently in
suited when questioned about his abil-
ity to ride and answered that he could
ride any kind of a horse. A sleepy
looking bropcho was accordingly
brought out from the corral and sad
died. Though the beast appeared half
dead, he was the worst bucker in the
herd.
"'E's lifeless,' said the foreigner
when the pony was brought to him.
The boys said the nag would wake up
after the first mile, and MILFORD got into
the saddle. The first buck jump placed
him on the horses neck, and after the
second he was In the atmosphere. He
turned n double somersault and land
ed on the sharp end Of cactus plant.
When he picked himself up, one of the
boys asked what he thought of the
thoroughbred now. The question made
the Englishman turn pale.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
THE ORIOLES.

Pair Has a Home In BROOKLYN

Iair hns AOme In brooklyn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole had been winter
Ing in the south, having found the rig
ors of a northern winter too trying for
their delicate constitutions. Being
birds of good social position they had
sojourned at one Of the most fashion
able hotels at Palm Beach, where they
occupied an elegant suit of apart
ments under the caves. When 1t
rained, neighborlng waterspout occa-
sionally spluttered over them, making
their nest rather damp; but bathing
is one of the fashionable sports at Palm
Beach, SO of course they did not mind
1t.
Their town house was situated on
the limb of an old willow tree in Brook
lyn. 1t was really a charming home,
and Mr.. Oriole had been his own archi-
tect. Moreover, it was so sheltered
from view as not to attract cats or
climbing boys.
From my bedroom window 1 could
plainly see the nest, and every spring
l would watch for the return to town
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oriole. Promptly on
the 1st of May they would put in an
appearance and such twittering and
chattering as there would be for few
days! And such a lot of callers as Mrs.
Oriole did have! One Of these, a hand

THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
A Case In Which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.

Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
| dreamed that l was standing beside
road when there came marching
along 1t a strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the flanks
[ asked one of these guards who the
prisoners were and where they had
been captured. He informed me that
they had been taken in an enlargement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there were 1000 of them. / then
asked some bystander what day of the
month 1t was and was told it was such
day of a certain month, some six
weeks later than the date of the dream
The whole dream was extremely dis
tinct, and 1t made strong impression
on me. l related 1t to a number of my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought of it no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the col
umn of prisoners had passed before
me, was on picket two miles distant
from the point where l had seemed
to be when | saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast, and / was standing
by the side of the road at the fire talk
ing to the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been a
schoolfellow of our officers at West
Point, and he reined up when he rccog-
nized his friend. He told us that he
had good news; that there had been n
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1000 prisoners, who had just
passed the headquarters that morning
on their way to the rear.-St. Louis

sands of Republicans in all sections of

refuse to vote the Republican ticket,
their attitude and speech are calculat-
ed to encourage and strengthen the
growing sentiment against imperial

last feeling It is calculated to produce.

LYING WAS BEGUN.

The Republican national committee
keeps the Republican newspaper
throughout the country supplied with
burning thoughts. This is a boom to
the Republican newspapers. for their
thoughts use to cost them % cents per
column from the "boller-plate" fac
tories, and now they get them for
nothing.
In a list of converts to Bryan pub
lished sometime ago by an eastern
newspaper, the article mentioned half
a dozen names of residents of Bath
N Y, as citizens of Bath, Me. The
mistake was purely accidental. OBJ
viously their votes would be much
more useful to Mr.. Bryan where they
properly belong than they would be
in Maine. The Hanna organs, how.
ever, discovered the mistake, pounced
upon 1t with great outcry, and even
yet have not finished crying fake"
Last year Mr.. Creelman, the cele-
brated newspaper correspondent, wrote
from Nebraska that statement that Mr.
Bryan by his lectures and writings
had accumulated property worth about

fifty thousand dollars. The mistake
was not discovered until the paper was
on the street Here was another thing
for the Republican press to make an
out-cry about Remarks about Mr..
Bryan as ''plutocrat" began to cir
culate through the Republican press,
but they eventually stopped when the
explanation of the slip made them too
ridiculous to be persisted in. The
Hanna literary bureau, has. however,
recently revived them. and has even
improved on the original typographical
error by raising the amount of Mr..
Bryans fortune to three hundred thou
sand dollars.
Another instance OF the methods en-
ployed by the Republican literary bu-
reau may be cited. Some years ago

the New York Journal. wrote signed
article giving his estimate OF Mr..
Bryan as n man and MS n leader. This
estimate has been revived by the Re-

Ex-senator Henderson, recently un-
dertook to prove for the benefit of the
Republican party, that notwithstand-
ing the cry Of "militarism" the mill
tary powers Of Europe spent more on
their armies than we did" The New
York Journal printed an article show
ing that the military budget in Europe
includes the entire cost of pensions,
and that If we took this into account
our military expenses were nearly
twice as great as those of any other
military country in the world. There
upon the Republican literary bureau
started out paragraphs like this and
they are still running in the columns
of the Republican press of the coun-
try:
w. r. Hearst, editor of the New
York Journal, an earnest "Bryanite,
says that the paying of pensions to
soldiers is "militarism." "Militarism"
according to Bryan is one of the great
issues in this campaign. Veterans will
please take notice.
Such attempts as the ones indicated
are very fair example of what may
be termed .'the Shiny hands in poll
tics" and yet such are the methods OF
the Republican press bureau.

Garry Death to Their Homes.

It Is not often that time Is devoted
to the discussion of women's fashions
by an assembly of learned men, but al
a recent medical congress in Berlin
no subject excited more interest than
an address on the trailing outdoor
skirts of women, by n doctor who had
made experiments, sending number
Of women into the streets wearing
long skirts, with instructions to walk
about for an hour. When they return
ed their trains were subjected to mi
croscopic observation, and whole colo
nies of bacteria were found on them.
other physicians who spoke on the
subject declared that the germs of in.
fiuenza, consumption and typhoid
fever and even more loathsome dis
eases were often carried by women
to their homes and to the cradles oi
their children. The Hartford Times
commenting on this, expresses the
opinion that the majority of women
in the land can never be induced to
abandon their long skirts on the stree,
by telling them that they are carrying
disease and death to their children
but tell them that there are indica'
tions that short street skirts will be
the fashion next season and they will
at once prepare to shorten theii
dresses. Speaking seriously, this is 0
matter for the consideration of wo.
mems societies.
