watches fitted on ring are the latest
novelty in ornaments and are super
ceding the bracelet watch in the
equipment of smart women.
Although the ring watch is necessa-
rily pretty bulky ornament for the
finger, 1t is so delicately made that il
looks neither ostentatious nor cumber-
som. For outdoor use it is worn out
side the glove.
Ring watches may be had in any
number of styles. such as plain gold.
filigree or expanding chain for the
ring itself, while the watch it carries
may be plain gold, engraved or gem
studded, or again, enameled. The
cost of one of these dainty watches,
which are of Swiss manufacture, and
perfect time keepers, is from 500 and
upward, according to the mounting.
Australia has a coal trust which IS
arousing public resentment by its eff
forts to confine the trade to particular
channels. The ''Vend," as it is called,
has, made an agreement withe Union
oloaAASAip coApdAJ VI NC" LedidAo ~
restrict the coal carrying trade be-
tween the two colonies IN the compa,
ny's ships. Great injury is done to
Independent merchants and shipping
companies by this monopoly.
The "Vend' has force the price of
coal up in the customary style of
trusts. but hitherto has escaped seri-
GUS censure by it's astuteness in max
ing bargains with the LABOR unions
whereby labor shares in each increase
of its prosperity. But the deal with
the steamship company has called
forth bitter protests from rival trade
interests.

SERVTCETIEO UP
Louisville Streetears Are Running Few
and Far Between.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 16.-For the
second time in seven months, Louis
vile is suffering from a streetcar
strike, the $50 union employees Of the
Louisville Railroad company having
walked out yesterday morning. The
not marked by anything approaching
the disorder that attended the strike
last April, and when the partial serv-
ice furnished during the day was dis
continued at nightfall only twenty ar
rests had been made, virtually all Of
them for "disorderly conduct" which
charge covered mainly the throwing
of an occasional brick or jeering at the
non-union men.
The company operates, on a normal
basis, between 500 and 700 cars. 1t
was announced by the officials that
when service was suspended last even
ing they had forty cars running. Only
about dozen cars were run during
the morning and only few passen.
gers were carried during the day. The
service was suspended at nightfall in
order to give the police a rest, the en-
tire force having been on duty for over
twenty-four hours.
Five hundred strike-breakers arriv-
ed during the day from Chicago and
Indianapolis, and 200 more are expect
ed today. Adding to these 200 non
union employees who did not go out,
the company officials claim they will
tomorrow have about full force and
will give practically normal service,
The strikers claim to have won over
a number of non union men during the
day. All talk of mediation or concilia-
ton has been abandoned and the at
fair is regarded as finish fight by the
public as well as by the strikers and
company Off cials.

TRtACHERY CAUSE
OF MOST PAINFUL
FRENCH SENSATION
Continued From Page Three.)

ton, the influx of lepers into France
is continually increasing.
There are in Paris at the present
moment between 100 and 200 lepers
There are always about a dozen cases
at the st. Louis hospital and in less
than ten years l have been able to
study nearly eighty cases which have
come from countries that are motor
iously leprous."
In France leprosy is not among the
illnesses which have to be compuisor-
lily declared. Thus the doctor is tied
by the professional secret and can on
ly give the patient more or less futile
advice to avoid communicating his
neighbors.
There is therefore nothing to pre-
vent the leper, who is free, to go about
spreading contagion all around him
at home, in the restaurant, in trains,
carriages, in the hotels. Two young
lepers were known recently to be
studying in school near Paris. The
only way, of course to avoid leprosy in
Paris is to stamp it out in the colonies
and this is a matter surrounded with
immense difficulties.
M. Louis Madeleine, a former pupil
Of the School of Charts, and of the
French school at Rome, now a doctor
of the latter, is sailing for America
shortly to give series of lectures I'M
nj Of hn
Franchise
M. Madeleine is we'll known in
France for his historical works, and
especially for his book on the "Rela-
tions of Church and State" and
"Fouche." the famous project of police
under Napoleon, whom he has in a
measure whitewashed.
The subject of M. Medicines lee
lures in New York will be "Napoleo on
and the Empress Josephine; at Chi
cago he will treat of Napoleon as Man
of Action and Professor of Energy;
at Washington the administration of
Napoleon; at San Francisco Mar
shals and Generals Of Napoleon; at
Los Angeles "The Soldiers of Napo-
leon"
M. Madeleine will also lecture at
New Orleans, Boston and Philadelphia,
his subjects being Murat, Nine. Ro-
land and the Girondins, the women of
the revolutions, the French School at
Rome, etc.
One Of the most interesting produc-
tons at the Paris theatres in the new
ly opened season is the poetical drama
of M. Jean Aicard, lie Manteau du
Roi,'' at the Porte st. Martin Theatre,
in which M. Jean Coquelin appears as
a buffoon and M. de Max as king of
heroic romance. 1t is a poetical-phil-
osophical play full of beautiful verse.
NJ. Aicard, who Is one of the younger
rank of poets, is a kind of disciple of
SullyPrudhomme, and in his child
hood knew and was much Influenced
by Lamartine. He is now candi-
date for one of the vacant seats at the
French Academy and will very likely
| be elected.
