Paris on Rations, 1904.

Paris is on ration, like a besieged
city. Each person receives from his
section q bakers card and is thereby
untitled to receive from the baker at
she maximum price as much bread as
The municipals consider sufficient for
him and his family. This ration varies
weekly. The baker is bound to calcu-
late from the number of mouths he
feeds the quantity of corn he will need
to buy from the municipals, who dis
tribute it weekly. We, who are not
obliged 20 faire queue at the bakers
doors-thanks to my employ, am ex-
empt from this, and bare suffciency
of bread is delivered, together with
meat and vegetables, at my lodging
daily-have very little conception of
the sufferings of those who are. The
queues are somewhat differently reg
ulated in different sections. but my
hosts daughters, who take 1t in turn
to go, are often waiting from o'clock
until or 9 in the morning.-"JournaI

Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican

American Consul Resigns.
Washington, Aug. %. - G. Jarvis
Bowens resigned as American consul
at Guadeloupe, French West Indies.
He left the service shortly after the
rioting in Guadeloupe, which caused
him to send alarming reports to the
state department about the dangers
which threatened American interests
in Guadeloupe Mr.. Bowens reported
that the situation was serious and
beyond local control. In consequence
of this report an American gunboat
was sent to the island to the displeas
ure of France, which had warships
near Guadeloupe, and was prepared to
check election riots. An investigation
Of conditions in Guadeloupe is said to
have shown that the American consul
was not warranted in making such
alarming reports, and this is believed
to have been the cause of his with
drawal from the service.

known as Mrs Moore was found muir
dered in a furnished room in Second
street. She had been horribly ripped
and slashed. James Moore, who had
passed as the woman's husband, was
held by the police on suspicion. II
was he who notified the police OF the
murder. He told them he had just
gone to his home and thought his sis
ter-in-law was dead. Moore told the
police he and the woman had been
living together for seven years. The
woman, he said, was the widow OF his
brother, who died 10 years ago. No
one in the house could be found who
heard any sounds as if struggle was
taking place.
Three life insurance policies were
found in the room. They were issued
by the Prudential company on May 1.
1906. One of them, for S275, was on
the life of the woman and made pay
able to1the prisoner. The others were
on the life of Moore, made payable TO
the woman.
James Moore was held without bail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Moore's son, Edward, testified that
his father was accused by the dead
woman of having brutality beaten her
last Sunday. Moore admitted strik-
ing the woman.

Exercise In itself is no doubt excef
lent, but Is it well for sane man to
make 1t a fetish? Does 1t do q bust
ness man any good to swell the m.s-
cles Of his back by wrestling with a
rowing machine or to make his legs as
hard as railroad ties by galloping about
q canvas track? Is there any advan-
tage, after ALL in developing the sinews
abnormally? Does a man who works
with his brain gain anything by try
ing to initiate hodcarrier? The no.
ton that the average business man
will be benefited by developing the
muscles of a stevedore is based on
nothing more tangible than wild theor-
izing. In favor Of it is the allegation
that physical or brute strength spells
health. Against it is the obvious and
undoubted fact that millions of men
who take no more exercise than their
ordinary avocations require live to hale
and hearty old age, and the further
fact that the average athlete, for all
his sinew and vigor, is seldom more
healthy than the average desk slave or
soft muscled man.-Baltimore Herald.

Shadeless Forests.

Large tracts of dense forests in Aus
tralia are practically shadeless. Many
kinds of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead Of the fat sur.
face Of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under tree of enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests
is said to be exceedingly arduous work,
as the trees, while they do not cut off
the sun, prevent the breeze from
reaching the ground, and thus the trav-
eler experiences a sitting heat.

ference with President sPalma, to the
effect that practically all the insur-

Pine Guerra, had signitsed their will

for their insurrectionary acts, was an
exaggeration, but an impression is
very general that the insurgents, with

Secretary of the Treasury Font
Sterling stated that during the last
few days numerous inquiries had been
received from many of the insurgent
chiefs in Havana. Iatanzas and San
ia Clara province as to whether they
would be prosecuted if they laid down
their arms. The government decided,
therefore, as general answer to such
inquiries and in order to encourage
other insurgents to submit to the gov
eminent, to issue an order to the COM
manders of the troops to grant am
nesty to those who surrendered. The
secretary denied the announcements
made here that the further enlist
ments of recruits had been stopped.
On the contrary, he said, the govern
ment intended to strengthen in every
possible way the army and the power
of the government.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Montalvo had long conference with
General Rodriguez, commander of the
rural guards, and directed him to con-
tinue the enlistment of recruits and
to push the pursuit of the insurgents
in all directions.
Colonel Vale, in dispatch to the

that the engagement fought in Santa
Clara will prove to have been of
great Importance towards ending the

surgents were scattered by rural

THE RAILROAD RATE LAW.

TIE railroad rate law has gone into
a--ect says the Chicago Tribune, and
continuing its discussion, that paper
says that the Interstate commerce
commission is at liberty to exercise
the most important right granted by
the law, that of reducing rate which
it considers unfairly high and pre-
scribing lower and just rate. That
is the feature of the law which was
most holly debated in congress, and
it tbs the one which attracted the

commission attempts to fix a rate, al
though it may soon be importuned by
individual shippers or by localities
to do something for their relief There
is a vast amount of work to be done
before the serious question of chang
ing rates is reached.
When it is reached the tug of war
will come. AS regards most fea-

sumed compliant attitude. Here
and there, railroad man, like Mr..
Baer of the Reading, talks defiantly
and says the law is unconstitutional,
out and out, and can not be enforced.
Most of the roads profess a desire to
find what construction the interstate
commerce commission puts upon the
different provisions of the act, so that
they may conform to it's interpreta-
ton. But it may be assumed that
whenever the commission CONSTITUTES a
clause in a way which does not suit
the roads they will fight its construc-
ton in the courts unless the clause is
too plain for argument.
When the commission endeavors to
lower a rate the railroad affected will
at once apply to court for relief, al
leging that the rate is unreasonably
low, and that if it be enforced its
property will be taken without just
compensation. II will ask that the
rate be not put in operation until the
courts shall have heard and determin-
ed the case. If suspensory order
shall be granted there will be an op-
portunity to learn how long it will
take the courts to dispose of such
cases and how much relief the rate
fixing provision will be likely to give

there will be uncertainty as to the
practical value Of some of its provis-

the odd man on the bench to say how
much or how little rigor and value

the imperial double headed eagle is to
be seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire - stamped,

that period the education of grand

grand duke went fout shooting in Ger

large bird. He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
the bird was. AN eagle, your high
