JOIN LABOR FEDERATION

Paris, February IA new and import
ant phase of the question of the right
of the public employees to organize after
the fashion of trades unions has arisen
in France. 1t will be remembered that
about a year ago the parcel postmen
formed an association and struck for
higher wages. The government refused
at that time to admit the principle that
the public servants could strike against
the state. All the strikers were dis
charged and their duties were performed
by soldiers until the serice could be re-
organized. Now the government has had
to meet far more serious attempt
The schoolmasters of several districts,
notably Paris and the big industrial CEN
ters, have formed associations (syndi-
cates) upon the instigation of the radical
socialists and moreover have Joined the
general labor federation Confederation
generate du travaiD. There was prac-
tically no attempt to conceal the fact
that the purpose of the organization
of teachers was the propagation of the
doctrines of anu-militarism as expounded
by Herve and his followers, internetion-
alsm as preached by Jaures and the
general idea of solidarity of the interests
of the capitalistic classes.
After considering the subject, the gov

Ject of the promoters of the organiza-
ton was 10 concentrate public education

nationalism' promptly forbade teachers
syndicates, but as the French trade
union laws are very broad some addl-
tional legislation on the subject will
probably be necessary
NJ BRAND, in announcing the decision
to deputation, said:
Because of the very nature of your
service the state can never permit Won
TO act as other employees do. You are
not working for an ordinary EMPLOYER
but for the state and revolt against
the state is revolt against the country
whose representatives vote your salary"
But besides the question of right of
public servants to organize In their own
interests the government recognizes that
the question of educating the youth of
The land touches one of the most sacred
duties of the state 1t was upon the
very theory that education should be free
from every possible bias that the Catholic
teaching orders were driven out of

ing the youth Of the country should be
consigned to the allies and advocates NJ

attempt to control the education of the
French masses is noteworthy evidence
of the militant character in France

sANTo DOMINGO TREATY.
Democratic Senate Leaders Put 1t On
Republicans.

Washington, February 7.-Democratic
Senate leaders reached the decision to-
day that the republican Senators must
take the entire responsibility if a
treaty with Santo Domingo continuing
the present financial relations is rati
fled. This means that as long as the
minority is strong enough to prevent
ratification it will stand together,
which would necessitate the calling of
a special session of the Senate after
March 4, when the republicans will
have the necessary two-thirds of the
body. The democratic opposition, ac-
cording to the decision reached, will
not attempt to prolong the special ses
sion, If one is called. but would per-
NIT an immediate vote.

Born In Strange Places.

FROM Pearson weekly.
The sase of the twins born in the Kill
DOMAIN Castle a few weeks back, although
unusual, is by no means unique. For only
so recently as July last twins were born
to second class passenger on the Gros-
ser Knrfuerst, triplets being born on the
same voyage in the thlrd-class, and sin
gle child in the hrst-class.
It is recorded, too of the wreck of the
Samphire that twins we're born upon one
of the RATS. both Of the children, more
over, surviving the most terrible hard
shps-har dships that prove fatal to most
of the adults castaways.
The erratic genius, William Bendigo,
who became by turns prize fighter, pub
lican and preacher, and whom the early
Australian colonst so honored that they
gave his name to one Of the richest of
their goldfields, was one of triplets born
in a stable.
Ii is not so very long ago, again, since
twins were born I'm a London omnibus;
and one OF the earliest incidents connected
with the opening of the old Stockton and
Darlington Railway was the birth in ono
of the carriages, not of one set Of twins
only, but of two, and this at one and the
same time.
Some twenty years ago, at Madrid the
wife of a Snowman named Carlo Lambro
was confined Of twins while giving a per
Torrance in q den full of savage lions.
Neither mother nor children We're attack
ed by the beasts. or suffered any injury
OF any kind whatever
Even more marvellous was the escape
of the Collette twins born on the bat
tlehield of Sedan at the moment when
the German guns, over two hundred in
number were searching with their terri
BILE shrapnel every square yard of the
French position
Madame Collette was the wife of a
provision contractor, and although her
eanteen. in which she lay, was blown
down about her ears, and her husband
was shot dead by her side, she herself
and her two little baby girls escaped
without so much as a single scratch.

The Case of Mrs. Bradley.

The facts brought out in the trial
of Mrs. Bradley in Washington for
the murder of former Senator Brown
of Utah, are, summed up in a few
cold sentences, without the sobs and
Mysteries and protestations of love.
The testimony in brief shows that
Mrs Bradley, who was 'short-haired
female politician unsexed herself by
asserting equality with the men of
her tribe, divorcing her own husband
and took Brown away from his wife
or, at least, followed willingly if Brown
led OF this love. two or three chill
dren were born. Mrs. Brown and the
people in IL ~ in which the Browns
lived knew 'he affair became scan
dial. and was talked from mouth to
mouth, but Mrs. Brown was forced
to bear it. Finally. she died (most
likely of a broken heart) and the
woman, who came between her and
her husband and broke up a home
reigned supreme. She demanded oil
Brown that he marry her, but Brown
all the time swearing he loved her
did not comply. Then she killed him
Now she is acquitted of murder.
She is only a woman, in misery
now seeking sympathy, facing death
and there is pity for her-wheth-
or it is deserved or not.

New Wrinkles in Embroidery.

Embroidery continues to be en-
ployed on all high-class garments It's
newest development is the use of de-
signs cut from French cretonne and
appliqued into position with long-and-
short stitch done in carefully matched
silks. The French cretonne is thin
ner and glossier than the domestic
brand, and its designs are smaller and
more artistic. This cretonne embroi.
derry is very effective and comes up
beautifully. 1t is, however, easily over
done; a little of it deftly handled is
artistic and extremely smart, while too
much tends toward the crude and taw-
dry Garlands and festoons are ap-
pliqued on house and theater gowns.
