FRANCE EXP[LS
N. MAUB0URGUET
Controversy with Venezuela
Takes a Most Seri-
Gus Turn.
NAVAL DEMONSTRATION LIKELY
Venezuela's Treatment of the
French Charge d'Affaires
Causes Anger.
First Step in Reprisal LIS tie Expulsion
of the VenezuelaI Charge
d'Affaires from French
Territory.

Paris, Jan. 19.-M. Maubourguet.
the charge d'affaires of Venezuela
here, received the official announce
ment of his expulsion from French
territory. The notification was con-
veyed t. him by NJ. Gouvt, the chief
secretary of Premier Rouvier. and a
special commissary Of police. NJ. Hen
Mon.
The charge d'affaires showed CON
siderable emotion, but accepted the
governments decision. He will leave
Paris from the Northern railroad sta
ton at 10 O'Clock p. M, for Liege, Bel
quinn, accompanied by the special
commissary of police, who is response
bic for his security to the frontier.
Naval Demonstration Probable.
Official confirmation of Venezuela's
unceremOnious treatment of M. Taigyn,
the French charge daffaires at Car
acas, reached the foreign office, and
the government Immediately decided
to adopt the most energetic measures
to obtain satisfaction. Though the Of
ficials will not issue a direct state
ment, it is understood that a naval
demonstration is to be made, the di-
vision of the French warships recent
ly assembled in the vicinity of Vene-
Zuelan waters being used for that pur-
pose.
A diplomat confirmed this saying
that President Castro's action
amounted to an act of hostility. since
after NJ. Taigny had left the shore in
perfect good faith to obtain dispatches
from the French steamer Martinique,
the Venezuelan authorities, without
warning, offered armed opposition to
his landing again. France, the diplo-
mat added, will have the support Of
the whole world in demanding and OIL
tanning proper satisfaction, even should
armed Intervention prove necessary.
Views in Ministerial Circles.
In ministerial circles it is believed
that the incident of M. Taigny's ex-
pulsion loses some of it's chara cter of
gravity, as official notification was
given to President Castro few days
before by the American minister, Mr..
Russell, that diplomatic relations be-
tween France and Venezuela had
ceased to exist. Therefore M. Taigny
was not expelled as the representative
of France, but as simple French citi-
zen.
Meanwhile a telegram from Lorient,
the French war port in Brittany, an,
nounces that the cruisers Jean Bart
and Chasseloup-Laubat are preparing
to join the French division cruising
in the vicinity Of Venezuelan waters

For many years one of the states
was represented in the senate by a
man who possessed many fine qualities,
but who frequently injured the causes
he advocated and alienated those who
desired to be friendly by his sarcastic
manner both in speaking and in writ
ing. The senator had an intimate
friend who had written to him to urge
the appointment of another friend to a
position under the government To this
letter the senator returned very sar-
castle answer, declining at the same
time to recommend the appointment.
1t is said that he never forgot the
merited rebuke he received from the
friend who had suggested the appoint
ment
"My Dear Senator-I think it would
be well for you to reserve your sar-
casm for the rapidly increasing num-
Der of your enemies instead of Offering
it to the decreasing number of your
friends, Of whom [ ain one"
Soon after the senator received this
communication he brought about the
desired appointment.

A Prehistoric Monument.

In southern California, in the county
of San Luis Obispo, there is situated
one of the most remarkable prehistoric
monuments known to the archaeolO-
gists. From distance it looks like an
immense rock rising from the plains Of
Carissa, but upon nearer approach it
is seen to be temple of extraordinary
dimensions and of unknown antiquity.
The inner court has a level floor 225
feet long and 125 feet wide, and the
ceiling is from 60 to 100 feet high, ac-
cording to situation. The building was
evidently used by prehistoric man, but
for what purpose and how long since
no one knows. It has been suggested,
however, that it was either temple Of
worship Or the capitol Of some ancient
government. The walls and portions
of the ceiling are beautifully decorated
with paintings in colors red, white and
black, many Of them supposed to have
some symbolic meaning.

Japan's Pipe Bell.

There is bell in Tokyo, Japan,
which is rnade from tobacco pipes.
So says the legend inscribed around
the outside in four languages, English,
French, German and japanese.
The English version runs as follows:
"This bell, cast in the city of Tokyo,
Japan, Dec. 10, 1892, by Tsuda Sen, is
made from the metal Of tobacco pipes
Of more than a thousand men, once
slaves, now free men,"
The story is that in 1892 a woman
missionary from America waged war
on tobacco smoking and persuaded
over a thousand men to forswear the
habit. They therefore had no further
use for their metal pipes, which were
melted down and cast in the form Of
a bell The metal resembles bronze
and the bell has pleasant musical
ring.

When Cromwell ruled England he is
sued an edict against all festivities at
Christmas The festival was altogeth-
er abolished, and the displaying of hol-
ly and mistletoe and other emblems of
the happy time was held to be sedi-
tious. In 1914 the long parliament
commanded that Christmas day should
be observed as a strict fast, when all
people should think over and deplore
the great sin Of which they and their
forefathers had been guilty in making
merry at that season. This act so pro-
voked the people that on the following
natal day the law was violently re-
sisted in many places. Though these
scenes were disgraceful, they served
their purpose and put an end to an I'M
just order. When Charles II. regained
the throne the populace once more
made Christmastide time Of rejoic-

FRANCE CAN GO AHEAD
Has Adhered to the Monroe Doctrine
and 'AlI 1t Implies

Washington, Jan. 22.-COnvinced of
the sincerity of the assurances re-
ceived from France regarding her 10y
atty to the Monroe doctrine and all
that it involves the Washington gov
ernment has given the Paris govern
ment a free hand in the execution of
the programme for the solution of the
Venezuelan problem. The conferences
on this phase of the question occurred
some time ago, and Jusserand, the
French ambassador has final assur-
ance that the efforts of France to OBJ
tain diplomatic treatment for her
charge d'affaires at Caracas will not
be interpreted at Washington as in any
way violative of the Monroe doctrine.
The first move in the execution Of
the French programme may be ex-
pected at any time, but on this point
the French government is observing
the strictest secrecy, the orders to the
squadron going direct from Paris and
not through the embassy here. Taigny,
the retiring French charge, who it is
believed is now at Curacao, will come
to this country on his way home, and
consult with Ambassador Jusserand.
Paris, Jan. 22.-The Temps makes
the following suggestion relative to the
trouble with Venezuela: Owing to
the difficulties which would be aroused
with other powers by blockade the
best means to adopt would be for the
United States to assume financial con-
troll of Venezuela, thus assuring Amer
lea and other nations the reparation
and satisfaction due Them"

framed by Flor Ashbaugh for

left the naming of the ticket to
Ashbaugh he Immediately set to
work with the view in mind of
selecting candidates whom he
thought would lend strength to
his candidacy and this without re-
gard for the political faith of the
candidates. He bad one of the
Democratic otliceholders slated
for IA position on the Republican
ticket, but neither the candidate
or the Republicans would stand
for such raw work. 1t is general

stand for any Democrats and il

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
cerning DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines, rGolden Medical Discovery" and
rFavorite Prescription"
The answer is that Golden Medical
Discovery is most potent Alternative or
blood-purtier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in cura-
tive way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat:
bronchial tubes. stomach. bowels and
bladder. curing large per cent. OF catar-
rhal cases whether the disease affects the
nasal passages. the throat. larynX, bron-
CHA. stomach Gas catarrhal dyspepsia,
bowels (as mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs. Even in
the chronic or lucrative stages OF these
affections. ii is often successful in affect
ing cures.
The oFavoritc Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diSeaseS-those
peculiar weaknesses, arrangements and
Irregularities incident to women only. 1t
is a powerful yet gently acting invigorat-
ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked women-no matter what
has caused the breakdown. "Favorite
Prescription :" will be found most effective
in building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, subduing pain
and bringing about a healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.

The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount of
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are ,non-alcoholic, non

Secretary of State Cowie Mon
day decided that Flor Ashbaugh
was the nominee on the Lindsey
ticket for judge of the First ju-
dicial district, over the protest of
A. III. DeFrance. The friends of
Judge DeFrance have taken the
matter into the courts and have
asked for mandamus setting
aside the Cowie decision on the
ground that no less than a dozen
of those who signed tie Ashbaugh
petition were not bona fide voters.
Among the lob signers were some
who are not naturalized citizens
of this country. On the petition
were the names of Ashbaugh's S
parents who have lived in Mis-
souri, for years aud have no inten-
ton of coming back to Gilpin
county. But what caps the climax
Ashbaugh signed his own name to
his petition, which, while irregu-
lar if not improper, is thoroughly
in keeping with the questionable
tactics which have characterized
the Ashbaugh campaign from the
time his boom was launched.
