IN EXCITING INCIDENT.
Humb-rt Case Causes Trouble Among
French Deputies.

Pris, Feb. 13.-An exciting incident
occurred in the chamber of deputies to-
day when Maurice Binder, Nationalist,
sought to interpellate Minister of Jus
tice Vale on the Humbert affair. The
deputy declared that suspicion had long
ben directed against the cabinet over
which presided that weather cock
Cambes.''
A scene of great disorder followed
this statement the members of the left
protesting and demanding the removal
of M. Binder. Premier Combes sought
to gain recognition but as NJ Binder
continued to shout at the top of his
voice NM. Combes and Vale and the
other ministers retired from hte house,
the left party applauding and the right
party kissing. The president, M. Bour-
geoise, then consulted with the cham
Der, which censured NJ. Binder When
he attempted to resume his speech the
president suspended the sitting. The
deputy continued his defiant speech af-
ter the session but he was finally ST.
fenced by the presidents threat to
cause his removal from the chamber
M. Vale made a brief rejoinder to
the effect that his accusers were de-
tenders of the Humberts, and an inter-
probation on the subject was then post
poned until after the budget had been
passed.

Very Enjoyabie a ffair In Warner Hail
sRsi Night

One of the social successes Of the sea-
son was the informal dance given by
the Retail Clerks association, local No.
AL. r. G. I. p. A, in Warner hall last
night. There was a very large attend
ance Of congenial young people who
spent the several hours In gaily tripping
the light fantastic. The dance was the
first of a proposed series. and If the one
last night may be taken as a criterion
the dates Of the future ones will be
gladly reserved. There were sixteen
dances on the programme and Atwater's
orchestra furnished excellent music.
The Retail Clerks association is now
in very prosperous condition number
ing about 175.
BY the infusion of energy it has taken
an impetus. and the membership is in
creasing daily. In the last week for
ty-tWo new members have been secured
and it is the intention to continue the
work of organization until the member

MABTLLEAU LECTURE.
Eminent French Savant Speaks Before
Yale French Club.

M. Leopold Mabilleau Of Paris spoke
on the subject La Condition de Ia
Femme in France" at the Art school
yesterday afternoon. The lecture was
attended by large and appreciatiVe
audience. The speaker was introduced
by Professor Sanderson. M. Mabilleau
alluded to the family laws Of France
as similar to those of ancient Rome. The
father has absolute sway, the wife and
children having no voice whatever in
domestic affairs. The French revolution
did not serve to alter the condition of
French women. A French wife cannot
spend q centime of money she herself
earns without the consent Of her hus-
band. A father may deprive daugh-'
ter of her dowery-may marry her off,
place her In a convent, and the mother
may not offer the least objection. Dow
cry plays an important part in a girls
life inasmuch as the size Of 1t often
guages the rank of the man she mar
ries. This dowery must never be spent.
1t is saved and passed down to the sue
ceeding daughters. It is rather an empty
custom as ii cannot be utilized even
were the woman starving. a patty in
terest being the only source of benefit
derived from it.
The women of France are classed diff
ferently from those Of the United States.
First come the women of the aristocra-
cy; next the wives of the leisure men Of
wealth and rank. A few live worldly
lives, but the majority are described as
the best possession of France. They
manage the chateau while the husband
Is in Paris, or while he is hunting. She
cares for the children, manages ac-
counts and estates, and Is intelligent,
industrious and pure. This class Of
women are vastly superior to their 11us-
bands.
The wives of the great middle class
live on small income. They take en-
tire care oe the household and are Of
the greatest help to their husbands. The
woman of the lower class is also indis-
pensable to the husband. though he
may be sot and a loafer.
Higher education Is taking firm hold
on France. Formerly the women re-
ceived their education in converts. Now
they compete with their lords through
the many female colleges and schools
that are scattered through France.
Culture is preading rapidly in France
and it is in the greatest extent due to
the Masterpieces"

ASKED TO PROVE CERTAIN
STATEMENT TO SENATE.
tton or Proof of Assertion That a
Recent Chief Executive OF Colon bia
Abdicated FOR n MILTON Dollars.
Coiombia's Honor Impugned.

Mexico City, Feb 13.-The Mexican
Herald publishes the following tele-
grams sent to Senator Morgan at
Washington by General Rafael Reyes,
minister from Colombia at this capt.
tai:
Mexico, Feb. 13, 1908.
Senator Morgan, Washington, D. c.
Il read in to-day's paper that in
session Of the senate on the 18th in
stant you declared that a recent chief
executive Of the Colombian government
had sold out ana abdicated for a mil
lion dollars. According to the Colom-
bian constitution the chief executives
are the president and vice president.
The last president was Senior Don Man
ual Antonio San Clemente, a venerable
old man of over eighty years, whose
reputation for integrity is widespread
in all Spanish nations, and who died
few months ago, and the vice presi
dent in charge of the executive office
at the present time is Senior Don, Jose
Manual Marraquin, whose uprightness
is as we'll known as that of the for
mer. Neither of the two abdieated. I
must suppose, having regard to the
respect to which is due the senate of
the United States and to all nations Of
the globe, to your own age and integ-
rity and to justice and truth. that in
making the assertion in question you
have given credence to false and mali
cious reports, the origin of which I in
vite you to publish. And must expect
that acting with the courage and stur-
dy honesty of the men Of the school of
George Washington, among whom tow
ers the present executive chief of your
nation, that you will in fairness fulfill
your duty of rectifying a charge as
injurious as false against any country,

The Past Year.
The work of the schools for the past
year has followed the general plans of
the past few years with few Important
changes. Worthy Of mention are the
completion of the new Cedar street
school building last September, the un-
usual increase in the number Of pu-
pills attending the public schools during
the year, and changes in the course Of
study in arithmetic and in language.
/. Increase tn school Attendance.
The total attendance in our schools
during September, 1909, was 1852, an
increase Of 897 over that Of September,
1901, or more than double the increase
of 1901 over 1900, which was 446 for the
same months. This increase Of last
September, although it came to the at
tention of the board with more empha-
sis, was not much greater than 1t had
been month by month for neraly year
previous. It was more noticeable at
that time as our cshools are always
largest in September and October and
the unusual increase caused embarrass-
ment in calling for more school rooms
than were then available for school use.
The increase of June, 1902, over the
previous June was 773; that of May
over the previous May, 1882; that Of
April, 602; of March, 1855; of February,
644; of January, 693; of December 1901,
637; of November, 554; of October, 52s;
and of September, 446, as stated above.
1t is to be understood that these figures
represent the increase of attendance Of
each month over that of the same
month year earlier, and that they are
not the increase of any month over the
next preceding month. These increases,
although fairly even, are much greater
than the increase in attendance Of the

G. NERAL STRIKE PROBABLE
CONNECTICUT R. & L. EMPLOFES
TO ASK TYAGE INCREASE.
Refusal May Result In the Tying Up of
All the Company's Lines in the state
An Extensive Syssem-The Announce.

Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb 13.-According
to a statement issued this afternoon by
the striking conductors and motormen
of the Connecticut Railway and Light
ing company, arrangements have been
made by which employees on all the lines
of the company outside of Waterbury
will shortly present demands for an in
crease in wages.
The Connecticut Railway and Light
ing company has trolley lines in Bridge
port, New Britain, Norwalk, Derby,
Shelton and other points in this state.
The announcement that a general strike
on these lines is a possibility Of the
near future was unexpected here, and
the members of the Waterbury union
have denied all along that they desired
to have men in other cities called out
in sympathy with them. The arrival
in the city yesterday of Daniel Dill
worth, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Amalgamated Association
of Street Railway Employees, to act as
an advisor of the local union is thought
to have something to do with the an
nouncement made this afternoon.
The strike situation remains quiet.
The strikers held their usual meeting
tonight, but announced that there was
nothing to make public Early this
evening John Riley was arrested while
in the act, so the police say, of placing
45-calibre cartridge on the track on
South Main street. This was the only
incident of the evening.

for Miners,

Philadelphia, Feb. 1S.-The anthracite
coal strike commission, after being in
public session for more than three
months, closed it's open hearings to-day
with an all-day argument by Clarence
S. Darrow in behalf of the miners. The
commission will meet in secret in
Washington next Thursday and begin
the consideration of its award. 1t is
expected that by the end of this month
the arbitrators will be ready to make
their announcement. If an increase in
wages is determined upon the increase
is to date from the first of last Novem-
Der, the commission having decided up
on that date on October 81. After the
session to-day the commission held
short conference with the lawyers for
the several sides and asked them to
hold themselves in readiness in case
they are called upon by the commits
sion.
The crowd that heard Mr.. Darrow
speak to-day was fully as great as that
which listened to Mr.. Baer and to Mr..
Darrow yesterday. He took up the en-
tire time of both sessions-five and one
half hours He touched upon almost
every phase Of the strike, and when he
closed he was greeted with long ap-
plause, which Chairman Gray did not
suppress. President Mitchell was in
court all day, but did not have any,
thing to say to the commission in part

How many can tell the origin Of the
habit of closing the eyes in prayer?
Far back in the past the sun was the
universal object of worship. AS it
rose above the horizon the deyotee
thanked it for its return to bless the
world. AS it set in the west he in
plored its early return. His face was
always toward the sun in prayer, and
his eyes were closed to prevent blind
ness. The habit has passed down from
father to son for thousands of years.
Though the object Of worship has been
changed. the custom survives
