AVOID A WAR.
Monroe Saved Lafayette's Wife from
the Guillotine In Reign of Terror.

How many people know that Nine
LAFAYETTE. wife Of the great French
general who was the friend OF the
United States, was saved from the
guillotine by the wife Of the author
OF the Monroe doctrine? An old
chronicle-which spells the generals
names LA Fayette" and not Lafay-
ette"--giyes this account OF what II
calls "a Touching Incident"
When Mr.. Monroe was minister from
the United States at Paris. and when
General Lafayette was confined In the
prison at Olmutz by the emperor or
Austria. word was brought To the min
lister that Nine. Lafayette had been
thrown into prison. and that she would
he puillotined I'm a few DAYS. Her
mother and grandmother had died by
the guillotine.
Paris was In the hands OF the mob,
and Mr. Monroe alone could save her,
and could save her only by appealing
10 and arousing the sympathies OF the
people. The destruction OF life mad
been so great In every state OF society
where opulence was perceptible that, in
order 10 avoid certain death, all lux
uries and splendor had been laid aside
by the wealthy, who. instead Of riding
in their splendid carriages, either went
on foot or rode in the miserable hired
cabs OF Paris
IL therefore created a great sensa-
ton when the splendid equipage Of the
American minister appeared at the
gate OF the prison, and Mrs. Monroe
told the keeper that she had come TO
see the wife Of General Lafayette. The
news spread In all directions, and be-
fore Mrs. Monroe drove away from the
prison thousands OF people had gath
cred about her carriage, and, says the
old chronicler, "the feelings ELECTED by
the meeting Of two such females In such
a situation arrested the AK OF the exc
cutloner. and eventually set the cap
tive free"
The feelings OF Colonel Monroe during
the absence Of his wife cannot be real
lied II may be asked, Why did he not
accompany her? II would not have
been polite for him 10 DO so-mlght,
indeed, have thwerted the accomplish
ment OF the purpose In view.
When Mrs, Monroe met Nine. Lafay-
cite the poor Frenchwoman was I'm
state Of perfect frenzy, supposing that
she was about TO be led out to execu-
ton. when she found herself embraced
by the lady OF the American minister
within the walls Of that gloomy prison
from which, only few days before, her
mother and grandmother had been led
forth 10 execution II was long time
before she could realize her situation"
Mrs Monroe not only assured her
that she should be saved but said that
Mr.. Monroe had determined 10 risk all,
II necessary. TO accomplish her deliver
ance"
The plain inference Is that the execu-
ton OF Mime. Lafayette would have
provoked war between France and
the United states.

The following poem, the women Oh
Britain" by Ethel NJ. De Foublanque'
Mrs. Arthur Harter), which has mace
n great hit" in England, was most
effectively recited by Mrs. Langtry al
the Maine concert al Sherrys New
York. this week.
A word for the women OF Britain,
Who bid their beloved goodby,
The husbands. the brothers, the sons
who so forth
To fight and to conquer, or dle'
A word for the women Of Britain
Who part with the friend they love
best.
And fighting their fears, smile up
through their tears
When he, too, goes out with the rest.
It's hard for the women Of Britain,
The men who set forth are eager ana
mad
To measure their might with the foe
For the men there's the passion Oh
peril
That lightens the hardship they bear
For what can't they stand with a COM
rade al hand,
The death or the honor to share?
For them there's the strain OF the bat
tie,
And the Joy Of the charge at its
height,
The cry Of the clan, the shout OF the
man,
And the fury and throb Of the fight;
In the clamor and clash OF encounter
There is valor and glory-or death?
With the thought OF the woman who
loves them
To hallow their last dying breath.
But what for the women OF Britain
Ali they need our pity the most
In their desolate homes they are walt
ing for news
OF he dear one who dies al his post.
For theirs is the weariest trial.
Long viglls OF pain day and night;
Sick at heart and alone, they pray at
Gods throne
For the men whom they love in the
fight,
And this Is the word OF the women
Whose loved ones are far. far away.
That the work to be done for those who
remain
None else can accomplish but they;
And this is the work OF the womep-
Brave women Of generous SOUL
TO take each her share OF the sorrow
they bear,
And tighten the grief OF the whole.
The gentle are helping the simple
Love and sympathy level all pride
And hearts find relief in the union OF
grief.
when the men fight and die side by
side
All the women OF Britain are equal,
For the men share alike In the fray.
And the rich and the poor are just sis
tiers
In the hearts OF the nation today.

SEVEN WHALES in A TRAP.

rFrom the San Francisco Chronicle1
The residents of Vaughan Bay, TWEEN
ty miles from Tacoma, are having a
big hunt after seven whales which en-
tered Vaughan Bay Christmas day. Be
ing unable to find the narrow channel
leading out of the bay, the whales have
been circling around and cutting all
sorts of antics. Boatmen have been
able to approach within thirty feet of
them, and several parties with lances
have started to hunt them down.
The hunters are now trying to secure
the harpoons used by Tacoma fishermen
three years ago when they captured a
big California gray whale which yield
ed 800 barrels of oil. At that time a
cannon was mounted OH a tug and fired
at the whale several dozen times with
out effect. At last harpoonS were sunk
into him, and he towed three rowboats
around Puget Sound for over hundred
miles. By that time he was so tired
that 1ances could be used with deadly
effect. 1t is intended to repeat this pro-
cess if harpoons can be secured before
the whales escape. A number of chill
dren who cross Vaughan Bay in row.
boats to go to school are staying at
home until the whales disappear.

Water in Chicago River Detrimentally
Lowered by Drainage Canal

Chicago, Jan. 24.-On account of the
opening of the drainage canal, the
Chicago river has fallen three feet at
Bridgeport, leaving out of the water the
intake pipes of the pumping works,
which at that place pump $4,000 feet
of water a minute into the Illinois and
Michigan canal. The water IN this
canal has been so diminished that two
canal boats which started today from
1ockport for Chicago were left without
sufficient water. The pumping works
intake pipes will be heightened so as to
reach the water in the river but this
work will take a week.
President Emery of the American
Strawboard Paper company at Lock
port called on Chief Engineer Randolph
of the drainage board today to enter
complaint against the lack of power for
the mills. He protested that the mill he
owned had not been able to run for two
days and that the power received by
Norton's flour mills was barely sufh-
cient to run one wheel.
The fall in the river, however, is not
regarded as having any other serious
consequence as the lowering of it's sur
face about that much had been figured
on by engineers. The fall of the river
at LaSalle street is not more than five
inches and river navigation is not
threatened.
