FRENCH DEFEND ARMY.
Declared by Speakers to be One Of the
Strongest Arms of Republic.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The discussion of
the army budget In the chamber Of
deputies brought out considerable gen.
eral debate relative to the strength
OF the army and the necessity Of main
tanning 1t IN a strong fighting basis.
Leaders of the military element took
an active part in defending the army
from criticism. M. Messimy (radical
socialist) made speech on the heavy
financial burden the maintenance OF
the army imposed upon the country.
He declared that this limited indus
trial and agricultural progress, and
took the best years Of the youth OF
France for military service. M.
Jaures (socialist) repudiated the state
ment that socialists are opposed TO
the army. He said he considered the
army to be one of the strongest arms
of the republic. Amid a patriotic
demonstration the first chapter OF the
army budget was finally adopted.

against Commissioner of Pensions Ware
and was committed when he directed the
removal Of a member Of a board Of PEN
sion examining surgeons for political ree-
sons
It has just been discovered that last
December Commissioner, Ware addressed
a letter to DIR. T. j. Mclaughlin of Jer-
sey City, N. j., In which he called his
attention to the fact that the board OF ex-
aiming surgeons, of which DR.. McLough-
lin was a member, was composed OF two
democrats and one republican.

practicable, the examining board shall he
made up Of two republicans and one demo-
crat,,' the letter continues. In ,conpli-
sance with this order I must regretfully ask
for your resignation as a member of the
Jersey City beard
Commissioner Ware stated when his at
tention was called to the letter that 1t
was genuine, and that Dr. Mclaughlin was
dismissed. The pension bureau waited
upon him several months to tender his
resignation and finally dropped him from
the rolls.
Commissioner Ware claims there has
been no violation of civil service law or
regulations, but this view is not shared by
the civil service commission. Commits
sioner Proctor, who Is the highest au-
thority in such matters, holds that DR..
Mclaughlin was protected by the civil SER
vice act, and that Commissioner Ware
has rendered himself liable to penalty,
which may even amount to dismissal.
President Roosevelt may be expected to
| give attention to the matter.

Adam Bede, on the automobile ride given

forensic opportunities along the road.

two new features which will be Of deep
to the parents Of Minneapolis.
Some doubtless know that the school sys-
tenn of this city has been mercilessly at
tackled from certain quarter as being
inadequate and impractical to such an ex-
tent that many pupils became so dis
satisfied or so overw orked that they were
obliged to leave school, It has also been
charged that the high schools were favored
institutions and were attended largely by
the children Of the rich.
These charges are completely refuted by
an investigation conducted by DR.. Jor-
dan with. the assistance of the principals
who were instructed to ascertain and re-
port the reason for leaving school in the
case Of every pupil who left before the
spring semester closed. They were further
directed to report on the occupation of the
father of every pupil in the high schools.
The results of the Investigations, which
are summarized in tables appearing below,
are highly complimentary to the schools
of Minneapolis as opponents Of public and
popular education.
Only one school was built in the past
year, the Mckinley school, for which land
was donated by E. G. Walton. Mr.. Wal
toms public spirit is commended by DR..
Jordan. Large additions have been or
dered for the Whittier, Bryant, Monroe,
Hawthorne and Franklin schools In order
/
more school room, and these will probably
be completed next September.
The Overflow MakeshIfts.
There have been in use as schoolrooms
in the past year sixty four basement
rooms. nineteen annexes and eight reel
tation rooms Notwithstanding the addi-
tions which will be made to school build
ings this year the number Of basement
rooms, annexes and recitation rooms can
not be materially decreased.
Figures on Attendance.
The total enrolment for the school

ceding year Of 1902 pupils. The largest
ienrollment was at the Central high schoo

with half spoonful of chicken gela-;
tine. His urine continues scarce, amount

Looks Like Dead Man.
When asleep the pontif appears to be
dead. His cheeks are sunken, his eyes
hollow and jaws are exceptionally prom
inent, the skin being tightly drawn over
the bones. When awake the pope usually
appears to retain life only in his brilliant
black eyes, tho he recovered tho lucidity
of his mind this morning and gave fresh
proof of his wonderful memory, SAYING:

Feeds Pet pigeon.

Berlin. July 1.-THE Rome correspond
ent OF the Lokal Anzeiger says that the
pope has been in the habit for long
time of feeding pigeon which came to
his bed room window every morning. The
bird Is very tame and evidently attached
to the pontiff. A few days ago the pigeon
alighted and finding the window closed
tapped upon it with its beak. The pope
heard the sound and ordered that the
window be opened, whereupon the bird
entered the room and perched on the bed.
The pope sent his valet for crumbs and
fed the pigeon from his hand meanwhile
.caressing it's feathers. He instructed the
valet to see that the bird was fed after
his death
