traction Mt the Mont
nlartrc Theatre.

PARIS, December 3o.-The Humberts
continue to absorb public attention here.
Minister of Justice Vale brought the sub
ject before the council Of ministers to-
3Iay, saying he had given 5000 to the
Spanish police for assisting in the arrest
of the principals in the.famous safe fraud
This is additional to the 5000 reward Of
fered for their capture. which has not
yet been paid, owing to the conflicting
claims
It is expected that the prosecution of
the Humberts VIII not begin for several
days. The prisoners have so far declined
to name their lawyers and the court has
designated Maitre Chenu to appear in
their behalf.
The Eumbert safe, which was alleged
to contain s-o,o 900. has been removed to
the Montmartre Theatre. where it will be
the chief attraction.

the hand. and the serious expression
which spread over his face as he read it

of more than passing interest to him.

Upon first catching sight of the pape.
he exclaimed Hello. she Is going to be
married. Then, reading on a. little tur-

Then he grasped the paper and read the
account through. When he had finished
he carefully placed the paper On the ta-

magnetic smile which enaracterizes him.

have been over 500,0Q0 cases Of yellow

proceeded to set our brain to work in

but what editor has ever dared to halt
when foreman was waiting for 'copy?"
We had not been writing long when two
ladies halted by our side with that re-

face of passenger who is mentally re-

you will arise" We arose, and through
the help OF the porter, we succeeded in
uncovering a seat covered with sundry
baggage.
We proceeded with our writing. The
train stopped al station Happening to
look up we saw two ladies entering the

tree they went to the only man in the
car that was busy and halted at his seat
with that aforc mentioned look on their

their seat. and going back TO the coal

DIR. HALE A BETTER AUTHORITY
Boston Post.


Boston Post.
Dr. Hale says the strike is bringing
nearer the inevitable solution of the
coal question. This is the public owner
ship and control OF the coal mines, first
by the State of Pennsylvania and ulti-
mately by the nation. I'm Republican
government" he says, "it is not pos
sible, as it is not right that twenty men.
or so 900 men shall control supply which
the good God has given for mankind
We may suppose that DR.. Hale's under
standing of the purposes Of the Almighty
is at least as clear as that of the presi-
dent OF the Reading railroad and coal
company President Baer holds that all
the coal in the earth belongs to 'tho
Christian men to whom God in his In
finite wisdom has given control of the
property interests Of the country" Here
is a wide divergence of views. but we
think Dr. Hale is the better authority on
The question.
The inevitable solution will probably
not be reached directly as result OF th~
present strike, but it seems to be coming
along pretty fast. President Bacr hos
helped a great many people to get rid OF
their conservative prcjudiccs by his as
sumption of Gods given right to control
the earth by the few TO the exclusion OF
the many.
