French Statesman Maintains Entire

Paris, Nov. 4.-The reports that
Premier Combes intended to resign be-
came more persistent Tuesday after.

the socialist leader, in notifying the
president of the council of his inten-
ton to interpellate the government on
the subject of the strikes in the north
err spinning district; but the reports
were not traceable to any authoritative
source. On the contrary, M. Combes,
himself, maintained entire silence on
the subject, and it was learned from
his immediate encourage that M.
Jaures' Interpolation probably will
have an effect exactly opposite to that
generally expected. M. Combes' an
swer to the Interpolation will show
that the government has done every.
thing possible to secure arbitration,
and in view of this explanation the
premier's immediate associates say M.
Jaures and the socialists will continue
to vote in support of the government,
thus insuring the premier a majority
and obviating any expected reason for
his resignation.
While the retirement Of M. Combes
continued to be probable, later, the
premier has not yet announced his in.
tention to do So and there is no pres.
ent indication that his retirement "a

Shreveport, La, Nov. 4. = Joseph
Craddock, negro, was lynched BY
an Infatuated mob, composed chiefly OF
blacks at Taylortown, in Bossier par.
ish, about II miles from Shreveport,
Sunday night. Craddock went to the
home of Wesley Chambers, a negro
cotton picker, and cleft his head in two
with an ak. When Chambers fell on
the ground Craddock frightfully multi
ated the body with his weapon. Soon
after he crept up on Dana Washington,
negro, and struck him on the head
with the sharp edge of the ak. Not
satisfied with this crime Craddock
went to the Chambers cabin and called
Mercer, the brother of Wesley Cham
bers. Suspecting nothing, Chambers
came to the door and was Immediately
beaten down with the ak and frightful.

beneath it after being pronounced
dead. The men killed were inoffensive

G1NGERsNAps KILL COWS.
Herd of Maryland Bovines Make q
Midnight Raid ON the Sweets and
All Die as a Result.

Edward M Gillet, of Venora, Baltimore
county, Nd, has lost 81. $50 worth of prize
cattle because of their 1nordinate ap-
petite for aged ginger snaps, mixed and
fruit cakes. Eleven of his fine herd of
Hereford COWS died after too free in
diligence in the American delicacies mem
toned. He valued the cows at $3.50 each.
Mr.. Gillet. like many farmers of the coun-
ty, has been in the habit of buying these
cakes by the ton and feeding them to his
cattle and hogs in small quantities. Sat-
urday night the bar door was left open
and II of his cows got into the building
and ate ginger snaps and cakes till they
could eat no more. DR.. Dickinson Cor
such, Of Glencoe, was called in, but he
could do nothing to relieve them. First
one and then another would fall to the
ground and die. DIR. Gorsuch said death
was caused by the large quantity Of the
cakes eaten. They being in dry state,
caused the cows to drink freely of water.

FATAL ELECTION ROW.
Injured AS a Result at
Fairview, Va.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov A fatal cleo
ton row occurred in an election booth
at Fairview, in Scott county, Va, Tues
day. Two men were killed, one other
fatally injured, and one seriously.
The dead: John Osborne. Ezekiel
Nickels.
Wounded: ]. H. Catron, shot
through the neck, will die; Alexander
Keys, shot in the right hip.
The trouble arose over objections be-
ing made to c. P. Roller serving as
republican judge. Roller, it is claimed,
had been selected by democratic cleo
ton commissioners for service. Os-.
borne and Nickels, the two dead men.
were democratic judges and were
brought into the quarrel on account of
their official connection with the cleo
ton. 1t is believed that Catron fired
the shots that killed Osborne and
Nickels. The two men who were killed
shot Catron and Keys. More trouble is

show That Chances OF COL
leEe Women Becoming Wives Are
Rapidly Decreasing.

Over four-f1fths of the women gradu-
ates of the University of Chicago are on
the high road to spinsterhood. This is
the startling result of researches con-
Quoted by Mayo Fesler, who, as general
secretary of the Alumni and Alumnae as
sociations of the institution, has COM
piled statistics of the university and its
students In the form of general register,
covering the first decade of the univer-
sity's history. The figures do not include
the women who have taken higher de-
grees, but only those who have completed
the undergraduate courses and who,
therefore, might be expected to be win
some enough to tempt the heart of the
average man.
The register contains the names OF
598 women who have received bachelor
degrees from 1893 to 1902 inclusive. The
fate OF these goods is shown by the fol-
lowing percentage table:
Percentage women married .....,.1S
Percentage women teachers. 81
percentage women at home" ...........3 81
An examination of the table for each
class shows that the chances of the ex-
co-eds for becoming wives are steadily
growing less. The first class that gradu-
ated il 1893 contained three women and
all Of them married The next class had
nine feminine members and not one OF
them has yet entered the bonds of matri-
nony. The class of 1895 has a higher
percentage and then comes the class OF
1896 with a marriage percentage of 80
among its women memhers From that
time there has been steady decrease. OF
the 125 women graduated in 1902 but six
per cent. are married.
