An Alpine Heroine.

One of the bravest deeds In Alpine
annals was performed a short time
ago on the mountain Paray de Tarde-
want in Haute Savoie, by Mile Mari
anne Delachenal, a French peasant girl
is years of age. At great risk she
saved her lover, Joseph Robin, who
Is of the same age as Marianne, from
certain death.
According to the Paris correspond
ants of the London Daily Chronicle.
the young couple were returning
home at sunset. driving their goats
before them alongside a strong cou-
loir when Robin noticed that some
goats still remained near the summit.
In spite of the entreaties of Marianne
Robin took short cut up the couloir,
instead of going around il. He had
reached a point halfway up the cou-
loir when an avalanche of stones rush.
ed down, sweeping him off his legs
and hurrying him toward the preci-
pice, Mile, Delachenal for moment
stood rooted to the spot with horror.
the next instant she ran into the mid
lie OF the cOuloir right in the way of
the avalanche of stones, and caught
ler lover in her arms. Both were car.
ried downward. but the brave girl
managed to stop at the brink of the
abyss, over which the avalanche
thundered. The young girl half-drag-
ged, half-carried her unconscious bur.
den out of danger and. hurrying to the
village, obtained help. Besides a
severe wound in the hand, Robin had
two ribs broken, and sustained other
internal injuries. 1t was only discov.
cred later that Marianne had also
been injured, having received some
nasty cuts on the arms. but they were
not serious.

BLOOD WILL TELL
ATHEoRY SUPPORTED BIZ FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
Woman's Happiness Is Largely De-
pendent on the State of Her Blood.

When the blood is disordered every
organ Of the body is affected unfavor-
ably and fails to discharge it's func-
tions properly In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for a periodical publication OF
the blood, and so long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as a cold or nervous shock
may produce suppression of this
vital function, and until it is restored
she is doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte
Griggs, of No. S07 Indiana street, Law
renee, Kansas. concerning which she
speaks as follows;

College Dress Suits.

Along about commencement time
there is great demand for dress suits
IN college town" said an alumnus of a
we'll known institution of learning. AS
a rule tailors and clothiers keep a supply
of dress suits on hand to be rented out
to students during the year, but at COM
mencement nearly every boy wants a
suit for the commencement hop, and con-
sequently there are not enough to go
round. AS a great many college boys.
and especially freshmen do not possess
a dress suit, dress suit famine would
result were 1t not for the fact that At
lanta, Montgomery, Birmingham and 9TH
er cities are called upon for assistance.
"a large number of dress suits are I'M
ported from these towns, and when the
night for commencement hop arrives
aspiring freshmen blossom out in all their
splendor their palpitating forms adorned
with dress suits that have done service
on many such occasions before. OF
course the suits fit tolerably well and
are nice enough for rented garments,
while in such a crowd few people would
notice any little Irregularities
Il have found by experience that 1t is
just as easy to have q good time In a
rented dress suit as it is in a suit made
to measure and costing the average book
keepers monthly salary"

Convention Time.

In less than four weeks both of the
great political parties will have held
their conventions, and the nature of
the campaign will be well defined.
The republican convention will meet
at Chicago on June 81. Every national
convention of that party in the last
thirty years has been held in June.
The democratic national conventions
have been held, sometimes in June, but
oftener in July. The meeting at st.
Louis on July 6 Is timely. Four years
ago the democratic convention met in
Kansas City on July 5, and eight years
ago at Chicago on July 10. When Mr..
Cleveland was first nominated the con-
vention met in Chicago on July IL.
Early conventions are not desirable.

things stand now we stretch the I'M

selection over the better part of a year,
when it could as we'll be confined 10

wastes SO much time in the task of
selecting an official head, and time will
perhaps bring reform in this respect
to this country.

NEW SCHEM E
BY Which "Dry" Towns In the West
Are Furnished Beer.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Newark, N. Frank Hughes OF this
city. who has just returned from a west
ern trip, is telling of novel scheme they
have for beating the prohibition law IN
Kansas, Iowa and other places where the
dry sentiment fourishes. He says:
zone of the methods employed to get
beer in circulation among those who want
it is for the breweries and bottlers out
side of the state to consign shipment OF
beer in kegs orr cases to some ffctitious
person in the dry town.
s.The local freight agent is compelled to
receive the prohibited liquor, and, OF
course. all his efforts to discover the non
existing person to whom 1t is consigned
are fruitless. The beer is allowed to re-
main in the freight house a certain length
Of time. AS the beer comes under the
head Of perishable goods the agent is
compelled to sell it, and there is always a
demand for it by those who want beer
and are not ashamed to let the fact be
known. This game is practiced quite ex-
tensiveiy, and while the prohibitionists
protest they cannot prevent its opera

France and Morocco.

The new French-English treaty rec
ognizes the possible overlordship of
France in Morocco and the action of
the United States in requesting France
to use her influence with the sultan of
Morocco to induce him to act in secur-
ing the liberation of Ion Perdicaris, is
of like import. We, too have recog-
nized the possible inclusion of Morocco
in French sphere of influence.
France is practically recognized as
the suzerain, and for that reason, If for
no other, she is FESTIVE under the pres
ence of SO many threatening ships at
Tangier She viii. be glad to see some
of them depart, but this is just what
they will not do. They are at Tangier
to secure the release from the hands
of Bandit Rasiuli of Ion Perdicarls, an
American citizen. If France by hook
or crook secures his release, well and
good. The incident would then be
ended, but If France cannot accomplish
the task then this country will have to
take step that means war. Cavalry
and a force of marines would have to
be landed and the bandit hunted down
This would not be an easy task, but
now that we have entered upon the
business it must be carried to an end
ing.
1t is practically settled that this
country will pay no ransom. The ran.
som paid in the case of Miss Stone
probably led up to the capture of Per.
dicaris kidnapping cannot be stopped
through the payment of ransoms 1t
can be promoted in that way, and this
government will not enter upon promo
ton Of that sort. Bandit Rasuli must
either give up Perdicaris, or else the
government must hunt him down, no
matter what the sultan may do, Or
France may say. The chances are
good that France and the sultan of
Morocco will between them find way
out Of the difficulty.

Ants and the WeevlI.

Botanist Cooks letter on the red ant
of Guatemala is published as Report
No. rs" of the agricultural department.
The full report does not contain much
additional information. The Indians of
Guatemala are not good cotton farm
ers, and the cultivation Of the plant is
confined to narrow limits, and the
product per acre is small In these
limited fields the red ant was found
by Mr.. Cook In some places there
were not enough ants ito go around"
and the boil weevils became numerous
The Indians of Guatemala do not ex-
pect, however, to maze any crop unless
the ants assist them.
Mr.. Cook aims to show that because
the red ants multiply and operate best
on the interior plateau region, they
would thrive in this country. If the
insect does we'll on the high tabelands
of Guatemala, it may be able to hiber-
nate in Texas, as does the boil weevil.
1t should not be forgotten that the
boil weevil is a tropical insect that ad-
vanced step by step from Central
America to Texas. Says Mr.. Cook in
conclusion: =.
although the cotton seems to be es-
pecially adapted to attract the ant by
means of its numerous hectares, the in
sect is not like some of the members of
its class, confined to a single plant or to
single kind of prey 1t was observed rum
ming about on plants of many different
families, and it attacks and destroys in
sects of every order, including the hemip-
terra, and even centipedes. On the other
land, it does not do the least injury to
the cotton or to any other plant, SO far
as has been ascertained, and 1t can be
handled with impnnity, having none of
the waspish i'll temper of so many of the
singing and biting ants of the tropics.
Since where once established it exists in
large numbers and seeks its prey ac-
lively, it is much more efficient destroy
er of noxious insects than the spider or
the toad. It seems, in short, not unlikely
to become a valued assistant in the ag-
riculture of tropical and sub-tropical
countries, Il not in temperate regions. The
farmer has. a new and practical reason to
consider the ant
The government should at any rate
import enough of the ants to occupy
a cotton field in district of Texas
infested by the weevils, and let us see
by actual test and practical experience
what they can accomplish. Acclima.
ton may, however, have to be gradual
but the summer months in Texas are
hot, and it is more than probable that
imported red ants could survive the
climate in that state.

Eioht Millions of Subjects,

BY one of the famous five-hy-four
decisions the United States supreme
court has decided that the little brown
Americans in the Philippines are not
entitled to trial by jury. Two editors
of a Manila newspaper were indicted
for libel, and they asked for a trial by
jury. The .oca- court governed by
rules made by congress denied the
sright of trial by jury, and Judges Day,
Holmes, White, Brown and McKenna
affirmed the decision, and Justice
White is democrat who was appoint
ed by Grover Cleveland. Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Peckham, Harlan
and Brewer dissented. Two demo-
Gratis, we are glad to say, dissented.
Justice Harlan talked in his opinion
very plainly He said that the consti-
tuition guaranteed to- all Americans the
right Of trial by jury. The Filipinos
are Americans, and congress had nc
right to deny them trial by jury. The
law OF congress is G. dangerous amend
ment of the constitution, as Justice
\ Harlan plainly declared. If one Ameri
Nan may ne deprived of the right OF
trial by jury, why may not another?
Congress and the President and the
five-by-four supreme court are working
together to establish an empire with
colonies and subjects thrown in, They
have practically determined that they
have no common law rights, no share
in our constitutional guarantees--nc
rights at all except what congress
chooses to bestow upon them from
time to time. All men are not created
free and equal in our colonies. They
have no rights at all except what we
grant them, and we actually refuse to
grant them the right of trial by jury
The machine-made judges are supreme
over life and property among cur sub
jects in the Philippines.
Justice Harlans opinion should be
widely distributed during the cam
paign. Let the people decide. If they
say eight millions of Americans should
be deprived of the right of trial by
jury. that would settle it, but unit
