MARCEL LAURENT ENLISTS.
sixteen-Year-old Boy Who Caused
Lawsuit, Goes in Navy.

Marcel Laurent descendant of one of
the pioneers of North Topeka, for whom
Laurent street is named. enlisted today
at the United States naval recruiting
office here. and will on Saturday start
for Newport. r. l.. to begin five years
service in the navy He is 16 years Of
age.
Born in Paris. France, and a fluent
speaker of French, German and English.
Marcel Laurent has in his short life had
a number of decidedly romantic expert
ences. He is the nephew of Mrs. H. z.
Billiard, of North Topeka, who signed
the consent for him to Join the navy
When a small child. Marcel and his sis
ter were placed in Mrs. Billiards. charge
by their father. Their mother had died,
and the father, it is claimed. practical
~ relinquished his claims to the chill
dren. A few years ago. the father ap-
peared, and announced that he had
married again. and wanted his children.
The Billiards attempted to retain pos
session of them. and the result was
habeas corpus suit in the probate court
The father of the children won the case
and took Marcel and his little sister
back east with him
Marcel was not happy in his new
home, and came back to To9eka some
time ago
His latest adventure was with foot
pads in the state house grounds. He
claimed that he had been attacked while
going through the grounds at night,
knocked in the head and robbed He
was taken to Christ hospital, and was
for some time in quite serious condi-
ton It was claimed that the attack
on young Laurent was the result of d
feud between him and some young col
ored n-en.
The United States officers here speak
very highly of their new recruit.

one of the officers today. He has been

it was digging its way into the Kansas

tiOnary says that the thing is an axolotl,
found in the elevated lakes of northern
Mexico, and is a salamander in the lar
val state. Mr. Webster makes change
for the freak in the following words:
'AX-o-lOtI (aks-o-lOtI, the native name)
(Zool.) An amphibian of the salamander
tribe, found in the elevated lakes Of
Mexico; the siredon When it breeds In
captivity the young develop into true
salananders Of the genus AblystOma.
This also occurs naturally under favor
able conditions in its native localities;
although 1t commonly lives and breeds
in a larval state. with persistent ex-
ternal aills. See Siredon."
Mr. Webster may have known what
he was talking about, but he would
have a hard time explaining how the
brute came to take 10 his residence in
a Kansas cistern.
A relative of Mr.. Axo1otl was recent

BRISTOW MUST GO.
Position Said to Be rendered to
Mercer, of Nebraska.

Washington Feb. 4.-Presideat
Roosevelt has made an indirect tender
of the office of fourth assistant post
master general to Representative David
H. Mercer Of Nebraska to succeed
Joseph l. Bristow of Kansas. Mr.
Mercer is said to be in doubt whether
he viii accept the position He VIII
consent to do so only upon the urgent
representation of his friends that he
ought to put aside personal cOnsidera-
tons The president wants Mr.. Mercer
and so does Postmaster General Payne.
not alone because of his executive abli-
ity, but because of his wide political
acquaintance. The administration Isl
sorely in need of the services of a can
able, acute politician who can pass
upon problems to the advantage of the
president and his ambition.
The most significant feature Of the
tender Of the fourth assistant post
master generaiship to Mercer is the fact
that the administrati ton has decided to
get rid of Bristow. He has been the
target Of the shar3shOoters of the Re
publican party for nearly three years.
When he implicated Perry s. Heath lis
the Cuban postal scandals in the sum-
mer of 1900 he drew upon himself the
wrath of every man who was connected
directly or indirectly with Mr.. Hanna S
campaign organization. BristOW de-
Tended himself by asserting that he
simply performed his duty as the chosen
invest igator OF the Cuban postofficr
scandals. Mr.. Heath's friends on the
other hand. claimed that Bristow went
out Of his way to work off an old grudge
against the then first assistant post
master general.
Repeated demands for Bristows removal
were made upon the late President Nc
kinley and renewed frequently after Pres
ident Roosevelt was inaugurated. A few
months ago Senator Scott of West Virgin
ia. backed by the influence Of at least q
dozen prominent Republican senators
urged President Roosevelt to let Bristow
go The president finally came to the con
clusiOn that it would be better for every
body concerned if BristOw retired. anC
now he has offered the place to Mercer.
