WORLD-FAMOUS BON MARCHE.
Great Emporium the Llfe-Work Of Mime.
 Boucicault.

Great Emporium the Llfe-Work Of Mime.
 Boucicault-
 As many people are aware, the Bon Marche, one of the greatest emporiums of Paris, was the life work of a wom an, the justly famous Mime. Boucicauit, and it was literally the first emporium of the kind ever seen Mne. Bouei cault was a woman possessed of a great heart as we'll as of a great brain, and her business owed not a little of it's monetary success to the fact that it was conducted by her on really CO., operative principles. It is said that each of her shopmen and shopwomen, as well, of course, as all those con- cerned with the purely clerical side of the business, was admitted by her to share in the profits. Not content with doing this, she further estab- lished in connection with her employees homes of rest, holiday homes, hos pital and an annuity fund; and at her death it was found that she had di- vided her vast fortune among her workers, the sum left in each case be- ing carefully graduated according to the time the legatee had been in the service of the Bon Marche. All these advanced methods and ideas were new to Paris, and more than at variance with the lines of thought then popu- lar concerning the relations of the en- ployer and employed. But Mme. Bou- cicault pursued the plan she had map ped out for herself, and found her re- ward, not only in the financial success whereby her critics were compe led to own that her peculiar ideas had not brought her failure, but also in the knowledge that she had partly solved the problem of her responsibility to- ward her dependents.

BALTIMORE CROOKS,
They Beat Jeweler and Carry Off His
 stock.


 Robbers and house thieves have been operating extensively in Balti- more for several weeks past, but the boldest deed on the list was commit ted yesterday when a pair of them in broad daylight beat North street jew eler into insensibility, bound him, and carried off nearly the whole of his stock, says the Baltimore American. This was in the very heart of the city, with hundreds of people constantly passing but the bold burglars were willing to take all the risks for the sake of the valuable booty they saw before their eyes. Several jewelry store robberies have occurred of late. and housebreaking and thieving have become far to common. Reports of similar occurrences in the suburbs and in the counties are daily coming in. Altogether, it looks as if the city and state had more than it's fair share of these crooks. Catching criminals of this class is not an easy task. as most of them do not undertake these robberies without making careful plans for escape. The police and de- tectives should redouble their efforts. and make it so hot for these gentry that they will clear out of the neigh borhood. Householders should be on their guard, and see that their doors are locked, windows fastened down, and gates bolted every night. Sunday night, when people are at church. is a favorite time for the thieves. so care should be taken that one member of the family or trustworthy servant remains in the house during the church service.

GERMANY BEATS UNCLE SAM,
Buys Caroline Islands, Which Wanted to
 Be Annexed to Us.

Germany's purchase of the Caroline islands from Spain had already drawn public attention to this little-known Pacific group, when a suggestion was made to America which is certainly en- tertaining, though hardly to be enter talned. The king and head man of kusaie, one of the easternmost of the Carolines, sent a petition to congress representing that as they had been in intercourse with the American people for forty-seven years-that is, with American missionaries, traders and Whalers-and had, both in this manner and otherwise, acquired knowledge of our institutions. they wished to be annexed to the United States It is assumed that the people who expressed this amiable preference did not know that they were about to be acquired by Germany. The Caroline group in- cludes, besides coral islands, five noun tainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs, says Harper's Weekly. To the north are the Ladrone islands, and to the west are the Philippines. Among the many queer legends of these chil
 dren of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and their inhabitants. They think they them
 selves were very strong in the water in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that woman and her children were floating around on the reef, when man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoulders He had started out to make an island with mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him: Give us a little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot swim" He took out a handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island. As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made hole in the
 basket; so, as he proceeded on his way, lie became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the island was formed.

She Wanted More Brothers and Set
 About Getting Them.
 Little Donna is four and a half years old She is the apple of the eye of Dr. Couch of Nyaek, N ", who Is blessed . With a family of bright children-a boy and quartet of younger sisters. The boy is, as a matter of course. very popular with the little ones, and is an especial favorite of self-reliant Donna. This marked deficiency of brothers in the family displeased her She had sent frequent letters to the allpower- 1ul santa Claus to remedy the defect, and even shouted up the dining room chimney to him to "send us some brothers" but tongue and pen proved alike ineffective, and Donna had be- come disgusted. She had seen chick ems emerge from egg shells in New York city department stores The gro cer brought a dozen eggs and placed them on the kitchen table Donna spied them, and acted instantly The eggs were soon disappearing and Don- ma was "Wery busy" Had the grocer cheated in the count?

NEW EUSHELWOMAN.
An Ancient Practice Revived with Mod


 Improvements.
 The Turkish bath in the larger cities of the world has developed a new in dustry for woman. Thus far, says the New York Post, there is no name for it, but it comes close to what in the old days was known as the trade of a bushelwoman. The modern edition and modification, however. gives it an entirely different character. The first one appeared in New York this week and made so successful debut that others will undoubtedly come forward in the next month or two. A lady vis- it's a bath and, after disrobing and donning her bathing tunic hands over her clothing to the bushelwoman. She duSts it, repairs any worn or torn edg ing, strengthens or replaces buttons and presses the different pieces of the wardrobe which need that kind of work. Then with an atomizer she sprays it with a perfumed disinfectant and hangs the article in a heated room so as to expel all moisture. The pro- cess takes from a half hour to an hour and half, which is less than the time required for a Russian, Turkish. Ro- man or electric bath. The garments come out neat. spotless, "drassy" and void of all germs. The cost is mGder ate and the satisfaction to the wearer unsUeakable.

High Schools For Townships.

Governor Stone has signed the
bill providing for the centraliza-
tion of township schools and to
provide high schools for town
ships. The bill was introduced
by Representative Myers, Of
Cumberland county, and provides
for the Capitalization of township
schools and also high schools for
townships. 1t is intended to
make the rural high school law of
1895 practical by bringing all the
pupils within the influence of the
"high-priced teacher" employed
for the central high school; to
abandon the poorly attended dis
trict school, and convey the pu-
pills to a central graded school,
thus increasing the interest, reg
ularity Of attendance and sanitary
conditions; to diminish the ex-
pense of running the township
schools, as has been done, accord
ing to the report of nearly all the
townships in which Capitalization
is now in operation.
The bill also provides for "the
conveyance of pupils to one or
more central schools" thus avoid
ing extreme distances. Existing
laws provide for the union of two
or more townships, and for chang
ing township lines Tor school
purposes. 1t requires a petition
signed by at least a majority of
the qualified voters in the town
ship. These signers must own
or represent property amount
ing to at least fourth the as
sessed valuation of the township.
1t must then be submitted to a
vote of the people, thus giving
abundant time for discussion, in
vestigation and calculation. 1t
must be voted on at a regular
election, when township officers
are elected, thus avoiding any
extra expense. 1t repeals no
laws and therefore does not inter
fere with the plans of districts
where centralization may not be
adopted.

From Omert Peightc
DEAR EDIToR:-I want to tell
you that appreciate the weekly
visits of the Fulton County News.
1t reaches me every Saturday
evening, and keeps me in touch
with my friends at home 1t not
only brings me the news from
home, but it contains very much
appreciated help on the Sunday
school lesson and the Epworth
League topics. l want to con-
graduate you on the paper and
am proud to show it to my friends
for it compares very favorably
with the county papers they pub
lish anywhere.
l presume that many of your
readers remember the Carr fam
lily that used to live near Fort
Littleton. | had the pleasure re-
Gently to meet George and had a
nice visit with him. He is we'll
to-do farmer, having about Ia
years ago purchased a farm of
100 acres here, and now has it
paid for, and is held in high es-
TEEN by his neighbors. He has
not, however, lost interest in
"good old Fulton"
| have also met Mrs. Daniel
Jellers. She was formerly a Miss
Stouffer, and, with her parents,
lived on the Trout farm west of
McConnellsburg during the War.
While l have been here only
about year, your paper tells of
many people whom l knew, that
have died in that time.
People here are enjoying a sea-
son of prosperity, prices for stock
and grain are high, and laboring
people get good wages.
Wishing to be remembered to
my old friends, l am,
Yours, respectfully,
O. S. PEIGHTEL.
