Cheese, which has been the fortune
of Roquefort, has destroyed it's pic
turesqueness. 1t has brought specu-
lators there who have raised great,
ugly, square buildings of dazzling
whiteness in harsh contrast with the
character and somber tone of the old
houses. Although the place is so small
that it consists of only one street and
a few alleys, the more ancient dwell
ings are remarkable for their height.
1t is surprising to see in a village lost
among the sterile hills houses three
stories high. The fact that there is
only ledge on which to build must be
the explanation. What is most curious
in the place is the cellars.
Before the cheese became an impor-
tant article of commerce these were
natural caverns, such as are every
where to be found in this calcareous
formation, but now they are really cell
lars that have been excavated to such
q depth in the rock that they are to be
seen in as many as five stages, where
long rows of cheeses are stacked one
over the other. The virtue of thesetcel-
liars from the cheesemaking point of
view is their dryness and their scarce
ly varying temperature of about s de-
grees centigrade summer and winter

Resourcefulness Of Chtne,e Cools..

ResOurcefulness of Chinese Cooks.
If there is one sphere of European
domestic life in which more than an
other, says Il traveller, the Chinaman
finds scope for the exercise of his own
peculiar ingenuity, without doubt it is
in the regions dedicated to the pursuit
of the culinary art. Here he will allow
no obstacle to daunt him, no unfore-
seen contingency to catch him una

chops for the dinner of yourself and

"a NE thing President Roosevelt
IN w ought to do dead sure pop,
w. and that is to recall instanter
ct sans ceremOnie Joseph H.
Choate, ambassador to the court OF
st. James. That conspicuous hunky
objected to Americans celebrating the
Fourth of July in London, even in the
most quiet manner, for fear that it
would ruffie the feelings of King Ed
ward, who was miles away. If such
flunkyism as that is not q disgrace
to the American name, it would be i'm
possible to say what is. Mr.. Choate
is a great lawyer and a famous after
dinner speaker, but he is unfit to hold
his present position because he in no
way represents American principles
or reflects American sentiment. He
is almost as un-American as William
Waldorf Astor, who has declared the
United States to be an unfit place for
gentleman to live in, who has for
sworn his country and who for years
has been expending much sweat and
treasure in mad search for a title
of nobility. Whatever else he is, Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt is an Ameri-
can, and he owes it to himself, to his
countrymen and to the high position he
holds to recall Mr.. Choate under such
conditions as will constitute public
rebuke.
Mr.. Choate is the same man who
only a few years ago advised all
the Irish in America to return to the
Emerald Isle on the ground that their
room is more desirable than their COM
pany, oblivious to the fact that our cit
izens of Irish birth and extraction have
done as much as any others to build
up this puissant republic.
1t so happens that that other pre-
eminent funky, Don M. Dickinson, is
in London. 1t is a great pity that he
will not settle there permanently. At
a great banquet "betwixt the walnuts
and the wine' he nominated Theodore
Roosevelt for president in 1904 and
Joe Choate for president in 1908
There may have been something more
asinine said somewhere, at some time
tongues at Babel; if SO, it has not been
recorded. Don is evidently ''rooting"
for another big office, and if Choate is
to be president-which God forfend-
he could not find flunky more after
his own heart than Don to fill the Of
flee of minister to Dahomey." With
such things happening one is COM
PEELED to poster his head to discover
if he is awake or only suffering from
some horrid dream. Send the Irish
back to Ireland, indeed! Any honest
Irishman beating rock on turnpike
or digging ditch who came to Amer
lea because he loved liberty and our
republican institutions is worth field
full of such funkies as Joseph Fl.
Choate and Don NJ. Dickinson, to say
nothing of such illustrious Irishmen
as General James Shields, who poured
out his blood like water in defense of
his adopted country.

A FRENCH COURSE
An Addition Accepted by the Chicago
 University.

Chicago, Jan. Lone million dollars is the sum offered by Robert Lebaudy. the French nulti-milhonaire for the establishment of French industrial school in connection with the UniVer- sity of Chicago.
 The tender was made to President Harper today through NJ. Lebaudy's army. Dr. Harper promptly replied that it was the very thing the univer- sity desired. and the preliminaries were settled at once.
 The new school is to be an integral part of the University of Chicago and the necessary buildings. for which Lebaudy will furnish the money, will

The institution takes on q still greater importance, from the fact that it will be actively fostered by the French government. The students will consist of 600 graduates of French , colleges. to be selected by the gov ernment, and 200 will be sent over each year.

REBELS IN PARLIAMENT.

The interesting question of rebels in parliament" which is likely-to engage the attention Of the house of commons tain Arthur Lynch. recalls a famous phrase used by Sir Charles Gayan Duffy in his first speech on Australian n soil. He refused to apologize in any way for his Irish career or the part he had played in promoting the IS insur- rection. As regards Ireland, he pro- claimed himself to be still "a rebel to the backbone and spinal marrow" The speech created a tremendous commo- ton at the time, but it did not prevent his election to the first parliament of Victoria, or his attaining the premier ship, or his receiving knighthood from the queen. The question was again raised in July, 1880. when the Hon. Peter Labor, another Irishman, suc- ceeded Sir C. G. Duffy in the spea ker- ship of the Victorian parliament. 4 member of the government violently protested against the highest honor in the gift of the house being bestowed on a man who had fought against the sol diers of the queen. The conservative premier of the period, the late Hon. James Service, severely rebuked his subordinate, and said the incident re- ferred to in no way reflected discredit on MT. Labor, rather the reverse. Mir. Labor was the commander-in-chief of the rebel gold diggers of Ballarat who on Dec. 2, 1854. fought an engagement with the imperial forces.-MaiI and F,x- press.

Columbus. Ohio. Jan. I.-The chief development in the legislative contest tonight was the announcement by Con- Sressman Dick that he was on his way from Akron to Columbus to assist the Hanan forces. It had been stated that General Dick desired to keep entirely aloof from the present factional con tention on account of his gubernatorial aspira tion.
 The leaders of both the Eoraker and Hanan factions are still proclaiming their ability to organize both branches of the legislature and the indications are that neither side will admit defeaI | before the holding of the party caucus on Saturday night. Nearly all the members of the legislature will have arrived in the city by tomorrow night.

KEPT IN ALCOHOL
The Souls of Some Prisoners at Alca-
 Graz.

San Francisco, Jan. Hive of the general prisoners at the United States military prison at Alcatraz island on Sunday night drank a beverage of which wood alcohol formed the princi- pal part. On Tuesday morning the bodies of two of them were buried and the other three are still in the hospital The two who died are Edward [. Can field and William Mitchell. CanfeId's s body was found lying in the cell Of the prison he occupied on Monday morning and the ether man was unconscious when found. He died a few hours later.
 The officers in charge of the island military post made efforts to keep the facts of the death of the prisoners from becoming public. but the story leaked out today through the gossip of the soldier guards at the prison. Nothing was said by the officers as to the con- tiition of the three men who were in the hospital, though it was told by hospital attendants that one of them was so affected by the poison that his sight had left him. The other two were reported to be well on the road to re covery.
 The five men who drank the stuff were prison trUsties and were employed as cooks for the prison.
 Captain Fuller. the commandant at the post. has not yet been able to learn where the prisoners got the alcohol.

HAS SEEN THE LIGHT
Chronic Case of Blindness Cured by
 Self Culture.

Many a mas reformed yesterday. Some of them entered into obligations with themselves to do differently with regard to many things and q few no doubt were sufficiently reliant upon upon their own strength to tell their immediate friends of some of the things { they are not going to do any more. But the only man who was so thoroughly converted from his evil ways and whose sinful past rested on him so heavily as to make it positively imperative that he should rise up and testify before the world as to his wasted career: the only man who was brave enough to put | into cold, unfeeling type, where il would stare at him to the end of his days. the firm and manly resolution he subscribed to yesterday was Mir. J. NJ. Melendrez, formerly a democratic editor of this city. who sent in the fol- lowing for publications:
 i NOTICE.
 ! It being customary to make resolu- tions on New Year. therefore, I. q ! democrat for 20 years, resolve from this date to withdraw myself from the democratic file and from now on my friends will find me in the republican column and fighting for the republican party.
 Respectfully.
 J. NJ. MELENDREZ.
 Phoenix. Jan. l. 1902.
 Mr. Melendrez has indeed a great deal 1 to be sorry for. Any man that has stag gered along with democratic blind over his eyes for twenty long and wearisome years must experience .I joyful sensation when the light finally creeps in. If Jesus wobbles a little for a day or two he should not be judged harshly, for it will not be the result of too much holiday celebration: it will only be because his eyes are not used to such a glaring illumination.
 ! But getting republicanism is like go- ing to sea for ones health. He wobbles bit till he gets his sea legs on and then he begins to like it. Unlike mince pie, the more he gets of it the better it agrees with him. and, like religion. the longer he has it the better he likes it. and. again like religion, the better he practices it the more benefit he will re- ceive. II has another redeeming fea- ture. and that is that when once thor oughly vaccinated it gets into ones blood and he has no desire to backslide.
 There is no question but that Mir. Melendrez's conversion is complete or he would not announce it. and there is no question but what he will live up to his new code of principles. Any man that can maintain his democracy for twenty years without waVerinS, after all has happened that has happened. Cught-to be able to stick to republican n principles without half an effort and he certainly owes it to his country to live forever, and, as a matter of atone ment. fight democracy till the day after.
