A MODERN
PRODIGAL SON.

Many fathers of prodigal Sons have
extended a helping hand to returned
wanderers when the latter got tired
of The husks. This is the story OF a
father who wouldn't get out of bed to
welcome his son who, after years OF
wandcrings, returned home with a
bank roll, which he had honestly
earned.
The story CAME out at dinner in
q Flatbush club few nights ago
The man who told the story had
played the part OF the son.

DIDN'T HEED THE WARNING
Captain Of the Jenette Laughed
at Danger.

A Detroit dispatch states that
James Kinney, who was sailor on
the Olive Jenette, which went down
in the Lake Superior gale, arrived
in Detroit Tuesday.
Kinney was not on the Jenette
when she went down, as when the
schooner sailed he was left at Erie,
having missed the boat. He says
that the reason the Jenette founder
ed is that she was greatly overload
ed with iron ore. He says the crew
complained to the captain at Erie,
and that the official laughed and re-
marked: well the water is warm !;
you fellows can swim ashore" :"
Kinney says that the Jenette was
provided with life preservers which
were stuffed with corn husks ,and her
yawls were no good. He says that
j. M.Quinn, engineer of the Jenette,
who was reported drowned. was
alive, as he also missed the boat at
Erie.
"We didn't care about catching
the boat, because her pumps were
not in working order" said Kinney.

GEORGE TRUDEAU DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home in
L'Anse Wednesday
Evening.

George Trudeau, which occurred at
his late home in this village, We'd
nesday evening at $50 o'clock,
caused deep regret. Mr. Trudeau
had been in very poor health for a
number of months, and for the past
two weeks had been confined to his
bed most of the time. While it was
generally known that his recovery
was practically hopeless, still the
announcement that the end bad
come, was a surprise to many.
Deceased was born in Montreal.
Canada, in 1S48, and at>.the age of
II years went to Marquette, where
he worked at the carpenter trade,
which he followed for a period Of
seventeen years, a portion of which
time he was foreman of construc-
tion crew on the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic Railroad. Upon
resigning that position he moved to
L'Anse, and engaged in business, in
partnership with Charles Rambaud.
In the course of about two years
they dissolved partnership, Mr..
Trudeau continuing the business
alone for three years. At the ex.
piration OF that time the partner
ship was renewed aud conducted
under the firm name of Trudeau &
Rambaud until the present. In 1888
Mr. Trudeau was united in marriage,
in L'Anse, to Miss Exilda Gauthier,
of Montreal, who, with eight
children, are left to mourn his loss.
He was a devoted husband and
father, man respected by all who
knew him, and his death is deeply
regretted.
During the many years Of his
residence in this village he held sew
eral responsible positions of trust,
among them the Office Of township
treasurer for two years. Later
he was elected m m b er
of the board OF education,
and at the time of his death was
trustee OF the village. He was
member of the order of ST. Jean
Baptiste, Of Marquette.
Mr.. Trudeau was the victim of
complication of diseases, and was
great, but patient sufferer.
Among the friends aud relatives
from out of town who were present
at the funeral were Joseph Trudeau.
Mrs. George Hewelett, Mrs. Fred
DeRusha, and Mrs. George Trudeau
all OF Marquette; Joseph Gauthier,
Jr., and Mrs. Joseph Gauthier, Of
Dollar Bay; Mrs. John McGrath, Of
Hancock.
Many beautiful floral offerings
were received from the different
official bodies with whom he had
been connected during his life, and
also many individual pieces, which
stand as evidence OF the high esteem
in which the deceased was held by
his many friends.
The funeral was held this morning
from Sacred Heart church, at 1890
o'clock, and was attended by large
number of friends and relatives.
The remains were laid at rest In the
Catholic cemetery in this village.
The paul bearers were P. Brennan
John Campbell, Charles Rambaud,
Samuel Boivin, p. Bulger. A. Menge.
Ushers: Thomas Boivin and
Delore Menard.

MOMENTOUS QUESTION
DEBATE BEGUN AT PARIS TO SEP.
ARATE CHURCH AND STATE.

PARIS, March 21.-The chamber of depu-
ties today began the debate on the gov
ernment's bill providing for the separation
of church and state. A large crowd was
present and intense interest was shown in
the proceedings. The discussion is consid-
cred of momentous Importance, as both
the ministry and parliament are now fav-
orable to a separation, so the question
which has been pending for years will
probably be settled as. a result of the de-
bate, which is expected to last three weeks
Sixty-three orators, including NJ. Deschan-
ell former president of the chamber, and
NM. Jaures, Ribot Millerand and other
conspicuous leaders, have announced their
intention of addressing the chamber on
the subject. The supporters of the bill are
confident of success. The debate began
servative) deferring the subject until after
the general elections of 1906 and the motion
of the Able Gayraud (Catholic-republican
to refer the question to a parliamentary
be defeated and the opposition later will
move to take a referendum of the munich
pal councils of France.
These motions will present the main tests
of strength. Canvasses show that about 65
per cent of the vote of the chamber is
favorable to the general principles of the
bill and opposed to the various proposed
measures for a referendum.
M. Berry's motion putting off the ques-
ton until after the elections was defeated
by 343 to 40 votes.
Before the vote was taken M. Berry de-
clared it to be the most unpopular vote
ever taken. Therefore the separation of
church and state would lead to serious re-
violence, which would be met with yio-
lence, thus bringing on a civil war.
