French Bakers.

Bakers in France are subject to re-

DIN England. In the fortified towns
atRS the frontier they are bound by

The bakery not only has to be kept
clean. but the baker has to deposit
with the local authorities certain
sum of money as a surety for the prop
er conduct of his business.
The law also looks after his weights
and measures, which circumstance
places him in the same position as the
British baker. but in addition the law
regulates the price at which bread can
be sold.

America's areategt Railroad.

America is the poSsesSor Of the best
railroads in all this world. and when it
is said that the greatest Of them all is
the New York Central and Hudson
River system. a sweeping statement is
made. but one that is absolutely true
nevertheless. For a railroad. or any con-
Germ for that matter. not TO have a peer
in America is a most laudable position
Such rank can be gained in only one
way and that IS by establishing a sys-
tenn that stands for perfection, and
when that is attained the popular YER
dict Of being the greatest" is sure to
follow. That is the verdict universally
accorded TO the New York Central
While the Central has obtained the
most coveted position in the railroad
world. there seems to be no satisfying

improvements. but the expenditure OF

The leasing Of a railroad by the New
York Central means a betterment in

doubtedly prevail in the case of the
Boston and Albany. The announcement
that the mileage books of the Central
with its two-cent-per-rnile rate of fare

be very gratifying to all holders of that
form Of rransp ortation. This concession
is in line with the very liberal policy or

OBSERVE THE CURFEW.
Col Rogeland Urges Enforcement of
the Topeka Ordinance.

Col. Alexander HogeIand of Louisville,
Ky. the friend of the American news
boy and bootblack, spoke Sunday even
ing at the First Christian church. Just
now Col. Hogeland is particularly inter-
ested in the enactment Of curfew ordi-
nances over the country, but his address
was descriptive of the work which he
has done in the last % years toward bet
tering the condition of the most hum
bic of little tradesmen-"
He began his work in Louisville by
establishing a night school for the neg
1ected youth of that city, and since then
the school has been taken charge of by
the citizens and the scholarship since
has nun bered as high as $500. For IS
years he has been travelling over tho
country, during which time he has ad-
dressed more than 600 meetings held in
great manufacturing institutions durinS
the noon hour, and has visited 5000 pub
lie schools and 5000 churches in the in
terests of the cause which he represents
His address last evening abounded III

cuing the boys, and he referred espec-
tally to the fact that great majority OF
crimes are Matched out between the
hours of and D. n- and that the d.
rect cause of 50 Der cent of crime is
drink.
Col. HogeIand is very earnest in his
advocacy of the temperance cause, and
believes that Carrie Nation is doing q
great service to mankind. You pick
up a woman" said he. 'and rush her off
to Jail for smashing a saloon and pro-
tecting your home The Lord himself
and his angels are guardians over that

Col Hogeland believes his work is a
Providential one. His faith in the eff

and he labors with the motto. The

Sunday afternoon at the First Meth

Sensational Death of DR. Maltbie
Davenport Babcock
New York, May 2o-A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Rome
says: There is no doubt that the Rev.
Maltbie Davenport Babeock of New
York. who was taken to the interna-
tional hospital at Naples a few weeks
ago. suffering from neurasthenia and
gastric fever. died by his own act
Al 20 minutes before in the morning

nurses. entered Dr. Babcock's room
and found him apparently peacefully
sleeping Repassing the door at s
o'clock Miss Jensen heard deep groans
proceeding from the room Finding
the door fastened the nurse hastily
summoned Signor Scott, the manager
of the inflruary He threw himself
against the door. forcing il open, and
rushed in. when a fearful spectacle
presented itself.
DR.. Babcock was found gasping on
the bed with two severed veins. He
was still living. but in a condition of
extreme exhaustion and sinking rap

In response to Sigror Scotti's frantic
question Of how his wounds had been
inflicted, Dr. Babcock feebly raised his
eyes and murmured: '-All is in vain

Mrs. Babcock reached the hospital
soon afterward and on the awful news
being broken to her was almost dement,
ed with grief She threw herself on the
body in a DarOxysm of weeping and IL
was only by the use Of force that she
was finally compelled TO leave it
DR. BabcOck left no letter or any hint
of any reason for the awful occurrence
no doubt that the act was committed
while the patient was temporarily de-

GAVE Up HER FARM.
That Is How Aged, Blind Rachael
Hall Kept Out of Prison

Rachel E Hall. blind, aged and bed
ridden, has been obliged to surrender TO
the government her 70 acre farm in La
bette county. because she bought that
farm with pension money illegally re
ceived- 1t was a case of give I'D the
farm. or 60 to prison
The case Of Rachel Hall IS a peculiar
one Ever since October 3. 1874. she has
been receiving a pension on the life Of
George William Hail. a soldier in the
civil war Just how she happened to
get this pension in the first place the
government officials here do not know.
But in April. 1900, some eager pension
inspector discovered that the George
William Hall who had been killed in the
war was not Rachel Halls husband /;
that he was no relation whatever OF
Rachel Hall Pension money TO the
amount Of S2.610.53 had been paid to
Mrs Hall. She had invested the money
in the farm. and lived there alone She
has no near relatives The farm was
her only means Of support. She is now
40 years old is totally blind. and hardly
able to walk
So. with magnificent charity. the gov
eminent decided that it would be unkind
to send such a decrepit woman to pris-
on 1t did nothing 10 her except to take
all her property It did not trouble it
self to investigate wnaC would become
of Mrs. Hall under such circumstances.
Possibly il would have been more cssar-
table 10 send her to prison where she
would at least be sure of a living.
The deed to Mrs Halls 20 acre farm
was received by the government officers
here today The land win be sold and
the money applied to paying ur1 what
Mrs Hall obtained from the govern
ment through pension money which did
not belong to her.

TOLSTOI,S FAITH.
Replies to Writ Of Excommunicaticn
of Holy Synod.

Paris. May ao.-Count Leo Tolstoi has
replied to the writ Of accommodation
launched at him BY the holy synod Of

out by quoting Colerfdge. He who be-

Topeka No Longer Delayed
The laying Of pavement win likely
commence this week. Jefferson street
and College avenue are the first to be
attended to.
Today and tomorrow the city engl-
neer's force viii set the stakes for the
pavement on these two streets Tuesday
evening the council viii let the contracts
for the first 16 blocks Of the summers
work. The brick plant has enough brick
on hand to complete the paving Of these
&c blocks.
No bids for constructing the pavement
have yet been fled with the city clerk
There probably Will be none till late
Tuesday afternoon. The contractors
who are figuring OF the work are laying
very low The time for filing bids is
limited TO 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
and there will probably be no bids II
much before that time
City Engineer P L Wise says that he
thinks the bids viii be about the same
as last year. They viii not be as low
as the lowest bids last year, and proba-
bly, none as high as the highest said
Mr.. Wise. Il think that the brick work
will be about SL26 or Si.27. I understand
that the brick plants are going 70
charge a little more for brick this year.
owing TO the increase in the price OF
coal and labor This will probably re
suit in a slight increase in the cost of
the paving, but I anticipate that the
competition viii be close among the
bidders
