Only Three Cases.

On. readers will be glad to learn
that diphtheria, which caused some
anxiety few weeks ago, is gradually
dying out. There are said to be only
three houses in town that are placard-
ed at present The situation was at no
time alarming, it is true, but diphth-
eria is disease that it is never safe
to trifle with. The school board as
we'll as heads of families were happily
on the alert and the disease was check
ed before it gained much headway.

 M. LIE COLONEL sRYAN.A
An Amusing Account Published in
 French Newspaper. l

hh AcCOuht HuOhAbMCu HI
 M French Newspaper. <. s,sa
 Some time ago there appeared in a paper published in the south of France an amusing account of the life and ex. ploits of Colonel Bryan that no doubt this gentleman fully enjoyed,
 The story was written by the Paris correspondent of county paper. It is based, so the writer says, on informa. tion he got from friends of MT. Bryan who are prominent in Paris.
 A Western wag filled the Frenchman with startling information, and how he must have smiled when there ap- peared the following in cold print
 "M. le Colonel Bryan first came into fame as one of the strange, half-savage band of cowboys who roamed over the far West. fighting the Indians and wild beasts. Initiating, perhaps, the custom of the Indian chiefs. each of the cow boys bore nickname based on some of his exploits as q hunter and fighter Thus M. le Colonel Bryan's title among his rough,' but brave and sturdy, com. rades was Silver Bill and Dead Shot. After the treaty of peace was signed with the Indians at Chicago in 1S06, Colonel Bryan went out of the cattle business and became. one of the bonan ga farmers of the West. He can now sit on his back stoop, as the rear yer anda is called in America. and look over his fields of corn stretching fur. ther than the eye can reach in every direction. AS result of his early training on the plans. where he spent months at time without an opportu. nifty of talking to another human be. ing, the former candidate for President is exceedingly taciturn. He is the au. thor of book of adventures called "The First Battle" in which some of his encounters with the Indians of the Tammany and other tribes are de. scribed at length"

..Respon.ible for senator..

There are bad Senators, of course. Some of them are merely weak, or cas- lily led. Possibly one or two are &C., tually corrupt, and certainly several, who look at everything from only the "business" point of view, stand for spe cial interests rather than for the in- terests of the people. But; in every such instance, 1t will be found that the bad Senator is fairly representative of q majority of the people of his State, says the World To-Day. It Is not the fault of the Senate that he falls below It's standard. -
 Kansas knew what Burton was, yet sent him to the Senate. Rhode Island knows what Aldrich is, yet complacent- ly permits his reelection as frequently as he and the corporate interests he serves desire 1t. New York has long known what Platt and Depew are, yet they have represented that State in the Senate for many years. f
 Opposed to this is the attitude of the Senate itself toward such men, Since Burton has been under indictment he has been barred from the Senate cham Der by the sentiment of majority of his former colleagues. The same was true of Mitchell. In other way, it is true of platt and Depew, who, since the Senate has come to know them for what they really are, have been strip ped of the last vestige of legislative in- fuence. They come from the greatest State in :he Union, and they represent some of its greatest corporate interests, but their ability to accomplish their purpose begins and ends with their in- dividual votes. Even Aldrich is not the puissant figure he once was.

GENIUS OF WESTINGHOUSE.
He Has Contributed Eagerly t'
 Methods of Reconsideration.

|
 George Westinghouse has creative mind, writes Arthur Warren in Suc- cess. There is no country in the world where train runs, or an engine, works, or dynamo turns, in which his name is not honored and familiar. He has brought new mechanisms and new industries into being; he has contrib uted largely to the progress in modern methods of transportation and commu- nication which have shaped to such an extent the relations between individuals and communities, between nation and nation. The postoffice the telegraph, the railway and the steamship unite the most distant regions. Upon them mod ern life is wholly dependent in its so- cial, industrial and commercial phases. Stephenson gave.us the railway West inghouse made the modern complex rail- way system q possibility by his inven- tions whicE control the movements of trains. Had he done no more than this his name would still stand among the great achievers. r.l
 George Westinghouse will be co years of age next October; he is built on massive scale, tall and as strong as blacksmith. He is alert, farsighted, quiet, sanguine and untiring with q constitution strong as nickel-steel He Is q most agreeable man to meet, ana has rare faculty for inspiring others with his own enthusiasm.
 A remarkable fact in his career is the early age at which he became promi- nent. At the age of % George Westing- house made his first great invention, the air brake. This was the source of his fame and fortune, and since that time his life has been so intimately as- sociated with the history of engineer ing and of manufacture that 1t is inn possible 10 think of many of the great advances of the past forty years with out thinking of him.

Nnpoleon,s Birthplace.

Historically, Ajaccio, Corsica, is of the utmost importance, for here it was that, on the fifteenth of August, 11G9, Napoleon Bonaparte was born, and here it was that the future emperor spent his youth. enlightened by an intelligent and lovely mother The Casa Ma poleOn" is one of the-or I should say the principal building in Ajaccio. It is q solid three-story building. with gray stucco walls and q number of large windows. Situated i'll the old part of the town, one would scarcely find lc were it not for the boys who tender their services to guide the stranger to the place.
 Although plundered in 1793 by the partisans of Paoli, the heroic Corsican fighter for liberty, the house still con tains few "reminiscences of the great warrior. Besides a number of ordinary rooms, each containing some furniture. one finds the bedroom where Napoleon was born, as well as Napoleon's sleep ing and study room, with his bed and table; his fathers study, still beauti. fully furnished. and the drawing-room in which are his mothers piano and her sedan chair-Four-Trac News.
