expositions, general elections, etc,
this appropriation meets the approval
of the entire state. The Senate will
act favorably on the bill.

The Paris restaurant reflects the con-
sentative views of the Frenchman. The
Partisan loves to sit on cushioned
benches along the wall and as like as
not enter into talk with his neighbor.
Again, the Partisan is true democrat
Whatever his rank. he is willing to join
in the fun going forward. l remember
one night in the Cafe de Paris seeing a
Hungarian prince with a rent roll of
scores of thousands stalk up to band
of his countrymen and take the first
violin from the hands Of the leader
The next minute score Of well known
people were gathered before him. A
count sang love song; ballet dancer
from the opera obliged us with re-
markable faAdango; sugar refiner
gave us a comic patter. Nobody cared
who his neighbor CHANGED to be. 1t was
good fun. That was sufficient.

New stars.

1t is suggested by Louis Rabourdin. a
French writer, that in each of the new
stars that blaze forth in the heavens
from time to time we see the destruc-
ton Of a celestial body by volcanic
cataclysm. At any rate, he says, II
part of the earth's crust underlying the
ocean should give way our earth would
doubtless present in succession to a
distant observer the same series of ap-
pearances that we witness In the case
Of 'nov9." or new stars. First there
would be an outburst of blazing hydro
gen from the sea water decOmpOsed
by the earth's internal heat, then fu-
sion Of the whole crust, reducing the
globe again to a molten state. and then
the gradual extinction of its light Ow-
ing to cooling. AS cooling would first
take place locally, we should have a
variable star. the darkened portions
being periodically brought into view
by the rotation Of the globe.-Success.

Free-For-AlI Melee on State Street
This Afternoon,
BOTTLES USED AS WEAPONS
started Win War Of words and
Ended win Ugly Cuts aud
Had Bruises,

There was sort Of free-for-all fight
In the National restaurant on state
street this afternoon. in which one man
received broken and badly cut hand
from trying to stop half dozen or 20
bottles that were dying In his direc.
ton. The cook received a slight blow
on the head IRON bottle and a walter
named Parker was knocked out for the
full count
Just how the trouble arose could not
be ascertained, owing to the fact that
the persons concerned refused 10 talk
much about the affair But from all
that could be learned II appears that
Parker got the idea into his head that
some Of the other help had been saying
mean things about him. He proceeded
to unburden his mind to Charley Lee,
one Of the employees OF the place, and
the two engaged in war OF words
that soon developed into something
more strenuous. Lee lntimated that
Parker was a close relation 10 the ami
NAL that Balaam rode. Parker
resented the insinuatlon and,
armIng himself with half dozen cat
sup bottles began hurting them at
Lees head The latter was pucky and
fun OF fight and made rush at the
"hasher" Parker aimed blow at
his head and Lee threw up his hand to
protect himself The result was he
received an ugly cut on the right hand
and small hone was fractured. He
managed to land on Parker, however,
and knocked him to the floor Just then
the cook took a hand In the mixup and
tried to stralghten matters out, but
Parker was in belllcose condition and
SHE'D n bottle at the cook. The latter
cleyery ducked and smashed Parker
hard right squarely on the point Of
the chn--and somebody turned off the
daylight for Parker, When he revived
he hurriedly left the restaurant. Lee
went 10 the Theater drug store, where
he found Or j. S. Wltcher, who dressed
his wounds and made him as oomforta-
bic as possible.
The police did not learn Of the af-
fair although the place Is just across
the street from the station, and con-
sequently no arrests were made.
