A CONFLICT IN FRANCE.

As a result Of the ant.church war in
France, the Roman pontlff Is said to
have declared in favor Of the restora-
ton of the monarchy under the Bour-
bons. In proof Of this startling state
ment II Is alleged that several members
OF the orleans family have been re-

The minister Of marine has done all In

and monks have enforced attendance
at religious services on board the battle
ships, Thso conditions seemed inloler-

Recently another measure was taken,

as a nation that we are becoming more
sober than our ancestors were, aud
that lntoxicants are not consumed as
recklessly az IN former years. But when
statistics are studied, there Is en awak-
enlng from pleasant dreams to less
pleasing realities. The American Gro
Ger for this month claims that In this
country the yearly consumption Of al
cohoic drinks has re Iched the enor-
nous cost Of sl,2l2, 9i3llS To this is
added the cost Of coffee, $3.50 $3.50, 26l,

thus Coffee. l,j66,9O26li; beer. i,ii9,
S9,952 tea, i5OOoO,OCO, and spirits and
wines, lj7, l3OG2s gallons. This would
Indicate that we are becoming beer
consumers at an almost alarming rate.
The fact Is that there has been Il steady
increase In the quantity Ct stimulating
beverages used notably OF alcoholic
liquors. which has risen In twenty-three
years from 1850 gallons to 1928 gallons
per capita. The Increase, It is true Is
most notable in the milder stimulants,
but the fact remains that the efforts OF
temperance refOrmers seem to be
crowned with but Indifferent success.
There Is phase of the drink ques-

Modern life is so rapid, so unnatural,
so depressing upon the vital functions,

A CONTRACTOR SPEAKS.
Says All Carpenters Needed Are at
 Work at Present Time.

One of the local contractors takes ex- ception to the comments of a union man in yesterdays issue Of the Demo crat and explains the bosses position in this fashion: We have all the help We want and can get as many more if we needed them inside of twenty-four hours. Tnlngs are coming back to the old way when every contractor will conduct his own business and workmen will dispose of their labor at price to suit themselves. Some time ago a number Of the factories pooled their stocks and tried to run all the concerns from one center. 1 think the results have not been entirely satisfactory and most of them who got their heads into the halter are now looking for way to get them out and manage their own affairs. Combina tions of capital are necessary in some lines of busi- ness, but manufacturing is not one of them, and if you make some inquiries In the right places you will find that out, provided certain people care to speak tnen minds. It is the same way in our line. We got along better when we were to ourselves, and I think this is also true of the average working man. think I can state with the as- surance that nobody will correct me that from now on employers of labor in Waterbury will do business with each individual man instead Of signing con- tracts with committees who don't know themselves whether the .condi- tions they agree to would be observed on the part of those whom they repre- sent if something better turned up. Contract or no contract, men will leave If they can better themselves, and there is nothing in their agreements that says they shay not; but the con tractor is bound not to do anything of that sort, no matter how tempting the opportunity"
 1 Whatever the final outcome of the carpenters strike may be, it is certain that many of the old hands who left here will not return They have picked up better jobs and will locate permanently where they can make the most of their opportunities. Writing to his family, Waterbury carpenter says:
 l 'I have 80 cents day more than I could get in Waterbury, and the cost of living is not any higher here than at home. See if you can rent the place to advantage and we will take up a residence here for time at least. The worst thing about making a change is on account of the children. but if we move at an now, is the time to do 1t. The children will soon be out Of school for the summer vacation and 1t would be better to have them enter here at the opening of the term than any other l time."
 This shows what the men who left are thinking about Several of them own homes here but others have no such encumbrances and will not be put to any inconvenience in getting out.

MUCH PARALYSIS.
Four Persons Were Stricken in Forty-
 Eight Hours.

Eastport, N. Y, June 16,-The fourth victim of paralysis within AS hours iD this pla,e. three of whom were m9mbc.s ot the same family, has been stricken.
 Mrs William Gordon received a stroke Monday afternoon and died an hour later. MT Gordon was standing by the body of his wife Monday. oven- ing. when he, too, was stricken with paralysis.
 Tuesday morning Mrs Edgar T.. Howell was preparing the body of Mrs Gordon prior, to its being placed in casket when she fell unconscious by the side of the dead woman.
 Isaac Gordon, whose home is in Patchogue, went to Eastport yesterday morning to view the body of his moth CT and to look after his father, who is still unconscious. Immediately after his return home he suffered a stroke of paralysis and there is little prospect of his recovery. His father, it is feared, cannot live.
 Mrs Howell is the only one of the three whose recovery is looked for.
 The residents of Eastport and near by villages were so shocked by the strange fatality that many of them were afraid to attend the funeral of Mrs Gordon.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Supreme Court Decides Case Against
 an Insurance Company.

The case Of James Mulligan, admin istrator on the estate of his wife, against the Prudential Life Insurance Go was one of the very important ones decided at this term of the supreme court The validity of policy was the issue. Mrs Mulligan was insured sin the company and the weekly pre- mium she paid was fifty cents. There was a stipulation in the policy that if 1t lapsed, for any reason, no matter what, it could be revived with In year, provided the applicant was in sound health.
 Mrs Mull1gan's policy lapsed and, within the specified time. one year, 1t was revived, with the understanding that she was not to consider the pol icy accepted until so notified, notwith- standing that meanwhile she should pay up the arrearages and resume the weekly payments.
 When the policy became payable, the company refused to pay on the grounds that she was not in sound health when it was revived, and in fact for some time previously had been very i'll with an incurable com platnt.
 Counsel for the defendant asked the court to charge the jury substantially as just stated, but the court did not so charge, using words and expressions of his own. The jury gave verdict for the plaintiff, and the counsel for the defense, Attorney Cole, claimed there was error in the court not charging as requested. He thereupon took an appeal to the supreme court, which has just decided that there was no error. O'Neiu for plaintiff
