A Queer Centenarian.

There died in New York the other
day a most remarkable woman, Nine.
de Vermond. This lady was born in
Germany on Oct. s., 1900. At the age
of 80 she married a French soldier who
during the Napoleonic wars had been
quartered in her native town and who
had seen her as a little girl and loved
her. Quite romantic. Few men take
the trouble to 60 back after the lapse
of fifteen or twenty years. But the
strange and remarkable features of
Nine. de Vermond'S case were not
concerned with her love story. The
fact is that she, being 1O2 years old,
didn't die ina poor house. Nor does
it appear that she had all her life been
addicted to the use of whisky and to-
bacco. 1t may be difficult for the
reader to believe this. but the good old
lady seems to have had exemplary
habits, Notwithstanding her great age;
moreover, her declining years were
passed with members of hex W fam
ilv instead of upon public charity.

CONSOLIDATED GETS A LOAN
Big Company Said to Have Secured About
100000 to Tide Over Its
Difficulties.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16.-The regular
monthly meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the Consolidated Lake Su-
perior company vas held yesterday,
and was protracted until late last
night 1t was announced that the cleo
ton of a successor to President F. H.
Lewis. who resigned last week. was
not regarded as an urgent necessity,
and that the office would remain va
cant for the present. Theodore C..
Search. vice president of the company.
is now acting head of the concern.
The most important feature which
developed was the statement that a
satisfactory loan has been negotiated
to tide the corporation over its pres
ent financial difficulties. The total
amount of the loan was not announced.
but it is said to be about $4,000, 900.

Too Much Responsibility.

The St. Louis GlObe-D Democrat
thinks that the Monroe doctrine
should be broadened to an extent that
the United States should assume some
sort of responsibility for the South and
Central American republics. That
would do if these governments would
take our advice and avoid revolutions
and breaking international laws.
While there is little doubt that a pro-
tectorate would be the best thing for
them, there a be no room for doubt
that it would be a most unfortunate
responsibility for this government to
assume. Thus far all our efforts to
assist them by pan-American con-
crosses have resulted in fresh jeal-
ousies and indignities. -1ndianapolis

VICIOUS MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT
Made on q Woman with q Weapon That II
Talked About as Out of

Indianapolis. Dec. 15.-Mrs. Thomas
Glase, living five miles from this city,
vas called to the door late in the even
ing by a stranger, who asked if any
of the folks were around. She
thoughtlessly answered in the mega
Tive, when the stranger suddenly drew
a swordfrom under his coat and struck
her over the head. His aim was not
well taken and the sword hit her only
a glancing blow. She caught hold of
the weapon and a desperate struggle
ensued for its possessior, during which
the nan forced himself into the house
and made several attempts to strike
the woman with his disengaged hand.
Mrs. Glasses little son, who was sick
in bed, jumped up and ran from the
house in his bare feet calling for help.
In the meantime the struggle for pos
session of the weapon continued, but
the stranger, evidently alarmed at the
screams Of the child, finally released
1t and fed, Mrs. Glase retaining pos
session Of the sword. Three hundred
men were soon on the mans trail, but
he got away completely.

Outrage in Venezuela.

There can be no satisfactory defense
of the acts of the British and German
commanders i'm Venezuela. Knowing
that the government cannot pay the
claims which English and German
subjects have made against Venezuela,
even if that government desired to do
so. the policy of sending warships
thither is absurd. If the government
or the country had any resources that
could be turned into money or made a
security it would be different. but
Venezuela has nothing with which to
pay. Such being the case, Venezuela's
bad re putation does not help the mat
ter, since whatever punishment is ad-
minlstered to a party that cannot pay.
The British and Germans might seize
the custom houses and in time collect
something, but instead of doing that
their officers proceeded to sink the
gunboats of Venezuela when they h;d
made no resistance and would have
surrendered. The bombardment of
the forts on saturday is quite as indie
feasible as the sinking of the gunboats.
A mob had seized a British merchant
ship, which was recaptured. Very
properly, the British commander de-
manded satisfaction for the insult to
the British flag, stating the hour when
such satisfaction must be given. With
out attempting to ascertair if Presi-
dent Castro was disposed to accord it.
he opened fire. 1t o turns out that
at The time the bombardment began
the order to make apology and repara-
tiOn had been issued, but the jealous
commander could not wait. He must
show the power of his guns and the
accuracy of their aim in destroying
buildings and killing and wOunding a
few people. Such an act was a brutal
display of power toward a weak and
helpless people-so brutal and inde-
fenSible that the civilized world will
forget the shortcomings and vicious
ness of the VenezuelanS.
In sharp contrast was the unexpect-
ed action of President Castro the same
day. He called upon the wife of the
German minister, who is i'll, and offer
ed her the hospitality OF his official
residence. He made a speech to the
populace in which he expressed senti-
ments of humanity which were not eX-
pected of him under the circumstances.
Influenced by his speech, a hot blood
ed people do not retaliate upon Eng
liSh and German subjects. 1t now
looks as if the much berated Venezue-
lanS were showing hat they hold bet
ter ideas of civilization than the repre-
sentatives of Great Britain and Ger
many.-Indianapolis Journal.

Fowler Bill Doomed.

Efforts to pass the Fowler currency
bill, which was introduced at the last
session and made the subject of elab-
crate discussion by the press of the
nation, will be abandoned by the re-
pubiicans Of the house. This decision
has been reached by the house COM
mittee on banking and currency,
which will offer a substitute bill for
the Fowler measure.
The Fowler bill was abandoned as
being too complex IN character. 1t
provided for the abolition of the green
backs. the establishment of branch
banks, an asset currency and a num-
Der of kindred propositions. In the
discussion of the bill in the republican
house caucus last session much oppo-
sition vas developed to some of the
features and it was decided to defer
action until the present session. The
committee on banking and currency
has had the bill up for consideration
at two meetings, and has decided that
it would be impossible to secure its
passage at the present session.
The committee has accordingly de-
cided to present a bill calculated to
meet the demands of the country for
a more flexible currency. This meas
ure will provide for an asset currency,
such as recommended by Mr.. Ridgely,
comptroller of the currency. in his ad-
dress before the American bankers
association at New Orleans.

RATE DISCRIMINATION
Railway Injunction Cases Have
Been Begun Before the
United States Court.
CHICAGO THE SCENE OF THE TRIAL
Judge G%rosscup and Railway Coun-
sci Dickinson Enliven the Pro-
ceedings Somewhat.


Chicago, Dec. 16.-Yesterday the
government injunction suits against
the railways to restrain them from
violating the interstate commerce law
were begun before the United States
court Gneral. Counsel Dickinson. of
the Illinois Central road, took up most
of the afternoon with his argument on
behalf Of the railroads. Dickinson de-
clared tina the method of procedure
adopted by the government for secur-
ing an injunction was too radical. If
an injunction can issue on such allie
Cations" he said, then a new chapter
in American Jurisprudence must be
written" The decision in the Dobs
case vas frequently referred to in the
arguments by counsel for both sides.
Dickinson declared that the ruling
made in that case was extraordinary,
and suited to an extraordinary crisis,
but he insisted that the application of
the decision should not be made COM
monplace.
Judge Grosscup Is Inquisitive.
At IL point Judge Grosscup inter-
rupted the argument by asking: If
the majority of shippers along u cer-
tain line of railway are Disseminated
against and driven out of business are
not the hundreds of farmers along the
same line injured by having to sell
their products TO only purchaser"
THAT point seems to lie outside this
BILL" said Dickinson. though I admit
that the wrong is sufficiently set forth
as to grain shippers
But who can assert the right of all
these farmers if not the government
under the interstate commerce act?'
asked Judge Grosscup.
Can Assert 1t Themselves.
They can assert ii themselves.rwas
the reply of Dickinson. They can APP
ply for an injunction against a repeti-
ton of the wrong"
rs not that the very ground on which
the government interferes? Does not
the attorney general ask injunctions
here s that all these individuals will
not be compelled to bring separate ac-
tions:" inquired Judge GrOsscup.
Dickinson old not answer this ques-
ton directly: That's the question that
will have TO be adjudicated," he said.
Bethea's Three Propositions.
District Attorney Bethea talked for
a short time before adjournment, re-
plying briefly to the points raised by
the railroad attorneys. He laid stress
on three principal propositions: That
these cases come within the antitrust
law; that the interstate commerce law
also applies. and that without any
such acts Of congress. a court of equity
has the power to listen to and grant
the prayer of the attorney general on
behalf of the people.
