PARIS ABATTOIRS.

There are in Paris three principal
abattoirs, the largest OF which, La
Vuette." is in the northern quarter OF
the city: Vanguard, which was open
ed in 1898, and replaced the old slaughter
house Of Grenelle; and "Villejud," where
horses are slain for food. Any butcher
may slaughter animals at these abat-
toirs on payment of a tax of francs
40 cents a hundred kilograms (2z0
pounds) on the meat so prepared. Butch
ers of the more important class and
specially licensed are permitted 10 sell
the meat which they have thus provld-
ed directly TO the smaller dealers who
keep retail meat stores throughout the
city. Inspectors are in constant attend
ance and any meat found infected with
disease or otherwise unit for food is
saturated with petroleum and con-
demned. Prior TO the year 1910 the
butchers or Paris slaughtered animals I'm
the streets and public squares, but at
that time municipal slaughter houses
"abattoirs were established where ami
mails intended for human food are in
spected and the whole process Of slaugh-
tering and disposal OF the meat and OfIal
are Kept under official surveillance.

A PICTURESQUE CASTLE
ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Just after the war, Putnam Gray ap-
reared in the locality OF AIinnelska, on
the Iowa side of the Mississippi river.
and began building n castle of drift

century old. ana still his castle IS ineom-

there are angles. towers. porches and
windows galore. not a foot OF new
lumber has been driven The lumber
was procured by gathering the salvage
from raft and steamboat wrecks. and
such other boards and scraps as the
floods brought down the great river and
lodged along the banks. The nails that
were used were all backed out of this
drift.

LIVED AS HERMIT
FOR FORTY YEARS
Regulations Forbidding Mar
rage to Indian Sweetheart
Caused His Solitude.

YANKTON, s. d. Nov. s.-One of
the strangest characters ever known in
South Dakota has just Cied in the
squalId lIttlc hut near Rattlesnake Butte.
west of the Missouri river, in which
he lived alone and friendless for nearly
forty years In the early seventies.
James Jimson came 10 the wild Dakota
territory as a trader among the Sioux
tribes of Indians. He was always friend
" to the red men and made friends as
well as money. It is said that he fell
in love with one Of the beautiful young
Sioux girls. but as the laws of the
tribe forbid any inJermaTViage with the
whites, his love was in vain. So, choos-
ing a locality away from his old scenes
of activity, Jimson lived alone, depend
ing on a small flock OF sheep and sew
eral cows FOR a living.
This was forty years ago. The old
mans hair was as white as snow when
he was found dead in the little hut by
a cowboy. and his clothes were in tat
ters. Il is said that he possessed a
considerable amount Of money. which IL
is believed he has buried or secreted
somewhere on the rough butte,
Among some papers found in little
cabinet in the rock were letters dated
1876. which led the dtscoverer Of the
mans body TO believe he had friends
somewhere in Franklin county. Ohio.
The land he has lived on for so song is
valuable. as IL is near the present sur
vey of the Milwaukee railroads coast

Uniforms and AmuSementS.

1t is evident enough that the
amusement purveyors of Newport,
r. l.. are determined to fight the at
tempt of certain United States ma
rines and sailors to compel them to
cease discriminating against the
uniform in the matter of admission
TO theaters and dance halls. In par
tieular, the Newport Amusement
Association, which has been sued by
Chief Yeoman Frederick Buenzle,
United States Navy, backed by Pres
ident Roosevelt, for refusing admis-
sion to their dance hall to sailors
in uniform. has filed a demurrer to
the plaintiffs allegation, which will
develop the legal status of the case
at once.
The defendant corporation asserts
that the sailors have no cause of
action in law; or, in other words,
that there is no law by which the
Newport Amusement Association
can be prevented from prohibiting
sailors from dancing in their halls.
The same plea. we presume, would
be offered by proprietors of thea
tiers.
As a matter OF fact, while il is a
thing to excite Indignation that any
slur should be cast on the uniform
of a United States sailor, it is hard
ly likely that laws as they exist and
are interpreted today can prevent
the discrimination. Every recent
decision in such cases has but
strengthened the theory that a
mans theater or place of amuse-
ment is his own and that he has "A
perfect right TO debar anyone he
sees fit. In other words, the public
has no inherent rights in the prem
ises, contrary TO practice as TO
! hotels and common carriers. II
would be good to see the defeat of
/ those who debar our fighting men
simply because of the clothes they
wear, but it is probable that moth
ing short of acts of Congress and
the State Legislatures can bring it
about.

ADJOURNED SUPREME COURT
IN ORDER TO CATCH TRAIN

Wayne MacVeagh is all right when
II comes to asking for what he
wants. Harper's Weekly tells this
about him:
An eminent lawyer tells how WAYNE
MacVeagh on one occasion succeeded In
adJourning the Supreme Court of the
United States before the usual hour.
II appears that Mr.. AIacVeagh was
living in Philadelphia at the time. and
II was his custom never TO remain in

nestly desired TO catch the o'clock
express for the Quaker City.
Mr.. MacNeaEh began his argument

time ne was talking he kept a close
watch on the clock. When the hands
pointed to 3:45 he calculated that ba
would have just enough time 10 get
TO the station. So. Ceasing his are1l-
Inent, he addressed the court as FOL
lows.
May Il please your honors, move
that the court do now adjourn / want
TO eaten the o'clock train for home
The lawyer who tells the story adds
that the cool audacity OF the request
seemed to produce a paralyzing effect
upon the justices, but the Chief Justice,
made the customary order without a
protest, and Mr.. MacVeagh got his
train.

him:

Light for the Republicans.

Opportunist as the Republican
party is, it may be expected 10 note
and profit by the chief lesson
taught in yesterdays returns. Only
in Pennsylvania and Ohio did the
regulars" win significantly. Else
where in the Northern States, pre-
eminently in New York, the ticket
was elected by voters opposed to
the programs of radicals, not by
voters who sought to indorse the
platforms of the Republicans,
But fear Of radicaIism did not
prevent nearly half the men of New
York from supporting Hearst.
Beaten though he was and set be-
hind his fellows on the Democratic
ticket, he obtained an Endorsement
for extreme policies which must
make the thoughtful men of every
party stop and consider. And the
lesson of that vote is emphasized
by the defeat of Mr.. Wadsworth.
The result in the Thirty-fourth Con-
Cressional district focuses the an
tagonism of practically the whole
body of American voters to the de-
tense of trusts and the continual
tion of present corporate abusers.
The opportunism of the Republi-
can party may be expected to fur
Their the calendar of reform opened
At the last session of Congress. It
must do so resolutely or lose the

have failed to do for principle I'M

woman was the main point developed To-
day in the continued hearing of the
breach of promise suit of Marian
Draughn, the American actress, against
Henry Thyssen, son of the millionaire
iron manufacturer Of Dusseldorf.
Miss Draughn told how. when Thysseu
sent her expensive presents while she
was in the United States. she asked him
10 send her money instead so that she
would not have to pay a tariff on it.
In addition to the promise OF marriage
she claims Thyssen made her, Miss
