Paris, Feb. .3.---In Nueilly, just out
side of the Paris gate. Of the Termes,
was inaugurated on Sunday a monu-
ment to the aeronauts of Paris during
the siege The monument, surmounted
by balloon in bronze, is the last
work of Bartholdi.
This occasion was made distinctly
patriotic. 1t was attended by many
veterans, including the survivors of
the balloon trips made from Paris at
the same epoch as Gambetta, when
the city was surrounded by Prussians
The master of ceremonies was M
Etienne, minister of war. Several deco
rations were conferred upon the vet
eran aeronauts. One feature Of the
program was the sending off Of 5000
carrier pigeons at the beginning OF
the ceremonies and the same number
at the conclusion.
Referring to the occasion the
Figaro said editorially:
"The departure by balloon of. sucl
men as Gambetta, who left the be
sieged capital to organize resistance il
the provinces, is one of the mos
striking episodes Of the great struggle
which saved the honor of our country
and compelledFSthe admiration of thu
worlds people. 2: ~ ysfE IL Il ~ i.
""It is agreeable to note in the con
nection that balloons are Of French
invention Our race, which is de
scribed ""r3 purely frivolous by unjus
opponcn.s, happens to, be the on
which has proved most inventive il
the domains of science and art.'

to ruin the man who had been ungal-

No true Frenchman could resist such

cruel, murderous, for him to let this
woman die of unrequited affection. He
would call on her purely as brother,
as friend, as sympathetic coun-
sellor. Yes, he would risk such call

Easier to Forgive.
And 50, when the count fought his
duels, conducted his secret firtations
and was tossed out of the chamber Of
deputies, it was not the hardest thing
in the world for the countess to for
give and forget, once her immaculate
husband, who, by the way: is 'shrewd
and sharp and especially knowing in
women's whims, rendered full explana-
tion and incidentally denied everything
that was unpleasant and. modestly al
mitted all that was heroic. ..- ,...
Of late, however, the count seems to
have been less cautious. 1t is under
stood that there have been frequent
clashes between the titled pair and
that gradually the. American spirit in
the woman asserted itself and drove
the embarrassed spouse into a corner.
A few weeks ago she delivered her
ultimatum. In substance it was this:

worshipping or quit my house, y
The Count Repentent.
Count de -Castellane, quick to grasp
the gravity of the situation, bowed his
head. He became repentant, said. it
was merely a passing friendship, and
that he would have no qualms about
turning the cold shoulder to the adored
| one. This was very well, and matters
seemed to have been patched up.
But there was still one woman in the
case who remained unsatisfed-thc fail
| matron whom the count was neglectine
at his wife s. behest. Womanlike, tho
she loved not the count, she refused tt

tractive looking woman Of about 50
years of age, is Suffering as result Of
an alleged attack by an unknown, as
sailant, who, she says, tried to smother
her with a towel saturated with car

did not attempt any violence beyond
disfguring the woman's face. She says
she could not lock her door, as there
was something wrong with the lock.
The woman says she was awakened
by suffocating odor and burning
sensation about her face and eyes. Dash
ing aside the towel she found over her
face, she saw man retreating thru
the door. Her cries, she said, were
too late to prevent his escape.
The police believe the. assault to be

this season, owing to the universally of

dress being very short bodice which
raises the waist line from the usual

400 Foreign-Born Admitted to Full Cit

HUDSON. WIS.--At the September term Of

200 persons have been granted their second
papers as citizens of the United States and
in the pas, three months no less than 400
persons in this county have been received into
full citizenship by Uncle Sam. This unprece-
denied rush Is due to the new naturaltza ton
law, which will make 1t difficult for i'm
migrants to become citizens, more red tape
being necessary.
Senator James A. Frear of Hudson, who was
nominated for secretary of state by the re-
publlcans Of Wisconsin, has rendered his resig-
nation as senator from the tenth senatorial
district Of Wisconsin, The governor will call
a special election to choose Senator FrFear s
successor and that election will be held on the
day of the general election. According to the
primary law, the sena tortal committees Of the
various political parties have the power to
nominate candidates to fill the senatorial va
cancy.
The tenth district embraces Pierce and St.
Croix counties, and the senatorial committee
of the republican party is composed of s. J
Bradford of Hudson, Editor J. F. Shaw Of Ellis
worth and Editor Charles Lowater of Spring
Valley. 1t is generally understood that the can.
didate selected by the republicans will be q

according to Editor George D. Cline Of Hudson
