FALLIERES'
ELECTION
MEANSPEACE

Raris. Jan. is.-The election Of NJ Fal-
Heres means much in french and Euro
pean politics at this critical moment. IL
means that NJ. Clemenceau. for the third
time. has named the president OF the
French republic II means as much as
any selection could mean peace in France
and peace I'm Europe. IT means the re-
establishment Of the Republican bloc
which II was supposed was finally dis
solved
The election Of NJ. Doumer. who is the
stormy petrol OF French politics, would
have brought apprehension throughout
Europe His abilities are greater than
NJ. Falleres but his strong radicaism
would have been regarded as menace 10
peace in the pending crisis with Germany
which may prove severe test OF French
patience
The need OF France at the present mo-
ment is not a strong man so much as one
OF infinite tact and restraint. These quail
tiles NJ Fallieres possesses, az well as
abundant patriotism.
/ Foreign intrigues against France Will
be powerless so long as the chief OF the
state has the benefit Of the supreme abili-
ties Of M Clemenceau, the lion OF French
politics. who for the past II years has
been almost without power but who Is
now again I'm a position 10 dominate I'm
certain respects the destinies of his
country.
Clemenceau made an. unmade minister's
and presidents. Now his regained influ-
ence will be used for constructive, not
destructive purposes. as formerly.
He alone among French publcists dur
ing the past year fully understood the
German intrgues against France. and he
may ne depended upon 10 suggest effective
moves I'm reply 10 anti-French manoeu-
vres.
INAUGURATION TN A MONTH
Mr.. Doumers candidacy was also con-
strued i'm certain quarters to threaten a
possible revival OF form OF Boulanger-
ism. Hence the conservative forces Of
France concentrated upon NJ Fallieres,
whose success assures the stability OF the
present regime
Yesterdays election lacked much OF the
ceremonlalism OF all it's predecessors, be
cause the new president does not imme-
diately assume office Hence the military
procession TO Paris and the popular ac-
clamaton were omitted.
NJ Fallieres went TO Prais by train and
made a private visit 10 NJ Loubet at the
Palace OF the Elysee before returning
quietly 10 his official residence at the
Luxembourg palace. He Will take office
a month hence.

marriage with the Vanderbilts, was engaged in the manicuring business in an office in the same building. Gott- Heb used to take her to and from her office in his elevator, and struck up an acquaintance. Through the medium of his dazzling uniform as a sergeant in Company F in the Eighth regiment, which he wore at a regimental dance, to which he escorted Miss Fair, their friendship grew into love. Several months ago they were wed, the girl affirming afterward that she was en- tirely ignorant of the existence of Mrs. Gottlieb No. 1 and the little Gottliebs who still are alive.
 Soon after the wedding with Miss Fair Gottlieb began dividing his time equally between the two wives, and the elder spouse became suspicious. She finally discovered his duplicity and broke the news to the pretty mani curist, who had him arrested for big amy. Gottlieb was rather relieved than otherwise when his double deal

Pearls of the Pacific,

One of the most curious industries on the coast of California is the clam fishery, as it is called" says Technical
 World Magazine for July. '"The clans, however, are very different from the ordinary bivalves of that name and are known as abalones. While some of them are secured for food, most of them are dug up and exposed in racks on the beach until they die and decom- pose, when they are examined for pearls. Some of the pearls which are found adhering to the interior shell are of such a fine quality that they readily bring from $100 to $200 in San Francisco and other cities. Pearl hunt ing is the vocation of large number
