CRIME IN TRANCE.

Opposition to the proposed abolition of capital punishment in France seems to be growing. At the close of the assizes at Bordeaux the other day the jury of the Chaude department handed resolution to the presiding judge in support of the appeal previ- ously made by the jurymen of the Bonchez du Rhone department in favor of the maintenance of capital punish ment and the strict execution of sen- tences. They unanimously requested him to transmit to the President of the republic and the minister of justice their respectful petition that capital punishment should still be endorsed as the supreme penalty. M. Pierre Bau- din, ex-minister of Public Works, in published report, directs attention to the steady decline in the number of convictions for crimes of violence, the acquittals having risen from 27 per cent, twenty years ago to 33 per cent. in 1904. What is still more significant, he says, is the increase in the number of murders and homicides which have not come before "a jury. These num- 7bered ir I9O4 in the department of the Seine alone SIS out of a total of 1,O28. The total of crimes and misdemeanors that escaped punishment in the same year is given at 1O3,OOO.
 M. Baudin asks what meaning can those figures have except to show that the repression of crime has almost ceased to exist in France. And he might also have asked if capital pun ishment really represses crime.

Then when the Cannon boom plays out in the convention the delegation can be thrown solidly to Fairbanks or some other reactiopary candidate. That is the reason of the Cannon boom, just as it was the reason for the Cullom boom in 1896. MT Roosevelt's friends in Illi- nois are not at all deceived by what is ging on on the surface, and during the conference to-moorow the President unundoubetdly will receive full in formation concerning the situation in Illinois.
 The President is known to have been good deal disturbed by the recent polls that have been made of different Western Legislatures, every one of which has disclosed strong feeling in favor of his renomination. He is de- sirous of finding some way to head off any more such legislative declarations, and to convince those who are express ing themselves in favor of third term for him that he cannot be induced to run again.
 What he wants is to transfer his strength to Secretary Taft, whom he all ready has indicated as his choice for the nomination next year, and that is one of the matters he will talk over with Gov. Dineen-New York Times.

NATIONAL roo.

The automobile is making it's way in law as well as in fact. The bill intro duced in congress to put the automobile under national control Is interesting and significant. Its purpose is to pre- vent the necessity. of the automobile travellers getting new State license every time he crosses a State line. He must still get a State license in his home State, as prerequisite for a na- tional license, and then both numbers must be displayed on his machine. In support of this bill it is pointed out that nearly half of the States now have State registration laws, and the others are in the way of adopting them. The possession of a State license is pre- sumptive evidence of having complied with tho laws of the State from which the traveller cones, That being so, there is no good reason why he should | be made to stop and submit to exam nations or delays from the State in which he is merely visitor The Fed eral license is designed to obviate such examinations and to serve the same general purpose for travellers by auto mobile that a government passport did for European travellers in the early days
 This seems to be good reasoning. There is no need of hindering automo- piles needlessly. And if their owners will hinder them a little in the right way and the right places they will be polite and wise.

AMBITIOUS ORANGE.


 The ambition of the town of Orange, or of some people in the town of Or ange, to have the town become city, is an interesting development, It had been hoped, yea, believed, that Orange did and would like New Haven we'll enough to want to be annexed" in time. But that, it now appears, was loves young and foolish dream, Orange wants to continue Orange with big o, and have a city charter as big and diff ficult of interpretation as any of them. Well, we don't know what can be done about 1t except to await events. All We can fairly ask, perhaps, is that Or ange, instead of planning to be annex ed to New Haven, wont swell clear up and want to annex New Haven.

HOW WOMAN HAS TO SHOP.

You look, said the woman in the car to her neighbor, "as if you had been on a regular shopping spree. never saw so many bundles carried by one person before except just at Christmas time. What Is the occa- sion? Trousseau?"
 Not at all," replied the other, in- dignantly.

 T considered before this invitation came that was pretty we'll prepared so far as clothes are concerned, for all emergencies. It was not until began to pack that it occurred to me that I should have to have some more collars. The laundry would not have come home before I left, and it would be necessary to eke out my supply with others. From collars it was a natural transition to ties, so I bought I some ties.
 "Then I discovered that my fur coat was ripped and must be sent to the furriers My best evening dress had to be cleaned, I needed fresh veils and gloves, I made out my list and began to dress to go out. In pulling on a pair of stockings I tore great hole in the back of one. I picked out half a dozen pairs after this, one after the other, and each pair needed alarming thus it was necessary to buy stockings.
 That's the reason I am going home now laden with knobby packages, tired out and as mad as a natter Hereafter I think I am going to keep things in such condition that I will be able to start for a trip to Europe, as my brothers can, without making a l purchase.

 A man, by way of a joke, dropped a golf ball into nest his ancient parrot had built in the corner of its cage. Polly sat with exemplary patience on her novel egg, and appeared pretty well heartbroken when the weeks went by and she found herself unrewarded. At last parrot flesh and blood could stand it no longer. A terrible screeching brought her owner downstairs at 3 o'clock one morning.
 Whats the matter, Polly?" he ask ed, as he noticed the birds beak was clipped trying to get at the eggs in- terior.
 'Matter?" screeched the bird. Great Scott I'm bunkered. "-Tit-Bits.

AFTER SOME WHO HAVE DODGED.
 Fort Dodge (Iowa) wont be Fort Dodge any longer for some people if justice is done, The city council, on the recommendation of the mayor, has passed an ordinance that "all able bodied men between the ages of twen- ty-f1ve and forty-five years, whose mental and physical propensities and capabilities are normal, and who are not now married" shall proceed "straightway" to get married, and that l"any person or persons failing to comply with the provisions of this ordinance shall be fined a sum not less than $1O nor more than $1OO, according to the degree of criminal negligence"
 "straightway" is perhaps little in- definite, but it may soon be interpreted so that the unmarried men of Fort Dodge can know what it means. "Ac- cording to the degree of criminal neg lgence" is still more indefinite, but that too may be managed. Life in Fort Dodge may be a good deal more interesting than it has lately been.

Says the London Chronicle: The Ja- maiea earthquake and the unfortunate incident arising from it has added q. new word to the language of the Unit ed States. This is "Swettenhamism. :" It is defined as an action "committed for the most part by people who re- main serenely unconscious of having given cause for offense." At present the use of the word is confined to ac- tions committed by English people against Americans, but in time, no doubt, it will be stripped of it's person. al illusion and have a general applica- tion in the same way as "boycott" has.

Gunrd Mount.

The night has come, and forth fare To post the sentlies of my prayer Their silent watch to keep whereer
 My waking thoughts would be. Two more shall stand beside their door Who gave me birth, and two before Her hut who lights an alien shore
 With her loves ministry; And two shall nightly vigil keep, To bring us word who nightly weep, If they do wake from their long sleep,
 Beneath the linden tree; To every door two more shall go Where trouble threats, or lurking foe Waits but the deepening dark to throw
 His dart of misery; And one in silent round I send From prayer to prayer, his aid to lend, If there be special need to fend
 Against the enemy. Forth to your posts, my sentinels, Till matin prayers reveille bells Give you relief, and daylight tells
 Where evil shadows flee.

Every machine ool-making industry In the United Kingdom, writes Consul Halstead (Birmingham), lis reported to be overhauling it's patterns and bringing them up to date; in short, the British tool makers are Americanizing their tools. One large firm, by copying American machine tools, is reported to have made half million dollars in 1905, and it's business is said to have so increased this year as to indicate a profit of half again as much Several firms have quadrupled their plants in the last four or five years. This pro- cess of Americanizing models applies not only to the Midland counties but to Lancashire, Yorkshire, to the northeast of England, and to Scotland as well. No British machine tools, so I am in- formed, are as yet so good as the American"

SEVEN Men MEET DEATH
Two Others Fatally Injured in
Kansas City Fire.

Kansas City, Nov. 29.-Seven men
are dead and two fatally injured as
the result of a fire in a two-stnry brick
rooming house at 1102 Union avenue
An explosion of gas was the cause of
the fire.
The seven victims Of the disaster
were burned beyond recognition and
it is doubtful whether their identity
will ever be established. The room.
ing house was patroaized by transient
white railroad laEorers and as the
proprietor, Edward O'Connell, kept no
register he knew neither the names Of
his guests nor the number Of persons
in the place. O'Conneu said that his
house would accommodate 200 men,
but that he did not believe there We're
more than fifty in the rooms when the
explosion occurred.
-. The explosion is believed to have
been caused by a guest who lighted a
match In a room where gas had been
escaping. The fire alarm was turned
in by postoffice clerks at the Union
railroad station, who heard the explo.
sion, although they were three blocks
from the scene. When the flremen
arrived the flames were burning 50
fercely and the heat was so intense
that they found the work of fire fight
ing very difficult.
