AMERICAN HUSBAND A SLAVE.
A Mere Money-Maker and Washer
Of his Wife's Clothes, Says a
French Woman.

Paris, September ia French
woman has contributed her impress
sions of America to the Paris Matin.
Among other things she says:
"I used to believe that slavery was
abolished, but I have learned in New
York that that is not the case. Helots
still exist in the persons Of American
husbands.
"From their earliest years they
are apprenticed to their hard lot by
being made the butts and drudges OF
their sisters. American boys have to
give way to every caprice of the
American girls. For woman in Amer
lea is despot to be feared; she has
taken the place Of the idol Of stone or
wood to which the redskins offered
human victims.
"a husband in the eyes Of an
American wife is a machine for max
ing money. He has no other reason
for existence, while ner part consists
in spending what he makes.
"Ask any young girl engaged to
some fine young fellow of moderate
means how she has passed some holi-
day with her lover. and she will tell
you triumphantly:
"I've made him spend so many
dollars
"a pleasure that is not expensive
is never a pleasure to an American
woman. That the poor man in sin
Gle day nas seen a months earnings
disappear is matter Of no import
ance.
"When married this unfortunate
man sets forth to business early i'll
the morning. All the day he will
hardly take the time to swallow a
glass of milk without even sitting
down at the nearest bar; his time be-
longs to the Idol; he has no right to
so waste tae least bit Of it on his
personal needs.
"In the evening he returns, worn
out and worried, always to board
ing house, for he has not even
hearth, no American wife being will
ing to endure the work Of keeping
house. And then his wife will give
him for little relaxation her silk or
wool combinations to wash in the
wash basin, these being all the under
wear she uses, while her dress vii,
cost about 5000; she, meanwhile, at
ease in a rocking chair, remains deep
in the delights Of novel.
"The worst result is that, having
reduced their husbands to slavery,
American women despise them be-
cause they are slaves-which is natur-
al. They reproach their husbands
with being fit for nothing but mater
ial work, while it is they who de-
mand this material work.
"HeireSses dream only of marry
ING men like those in French novels,
from whom they will have to learn
in turn what it is to be ill-treated.
And as the result Of their toll and
mad devotion American men see
their money and their women fly to
foreigners" "

ZIMMERMAN REFUSES TO SET
TILE.
Disclaims all Responsibility in Stol-
en- Bonds Matter Former State
Treasurer Notifies Attorney
General that he Refuses
to Settle.

Columbia, Oct. 14.-Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon this evening received let
ter from DR.. W. H. Zimmerman, for
mer State Treasurer, in reply to Mr..
Lyons letter of Saturday, in which
DIR. Timmermh AN declines to recog-
nize his liability for the theft Of
bonds by his former clerk, Daniel
Zimmerman, and consequently the At
torney General will institute suit on
the former treasurer's official bond
for the amount lost during his admin
istration, which is about $4,000, in
cluding interest.
The, letter from DR.. Zimmerman is
as follows: Batesburg, S. c., Oetob-
er 14.-Hon. J. Fraser, Lyon, Colum-
bia, S. C.-Dear Sir: Yours Of 18th
instant is received in reference to
stolen bonds claim. In answer there
to I will say that I do not consider
myself morally or legally bound for
the value of the said bonds. I there
fore will abide the decision Of the
courts upon the question Of liability.
I will be slow to believe that the
State of South Carolina will be so
unjust as to require Of me payment
for the stealage Of a self-confessed
thief with the aid and instigation of
convicted criminal, neither Of whom
has yet received any punishment for
their crime. And especially since I
was denied by statute the free exer-
else Of my judgment in the naming of
clerks in the State Treasurer's Of
flee so I refuse TO make settlement.
Very truly yours,
"W. H. Zimmerman.
DR.. Timmerman's reference to the
fact that he was not allowed to put
in the office clerks Of his own selec-
ton refers to the fact that when ne
went into office he desired to ap-
point a kinsman as bond clerk, but
under the statute forbidding nepo-
tism, he could not do so, and he then
retained Zimmerman, who had been
appointed by his predecessor, DR.. W.
T. C.. Bates. Zimmerman has confess
ed the theft of the 19 state bonds,
worth $12,500, but his case has been
appealed on a technical point, and
will not be argued until this winter.
Meanwhile he is on bond. His al
legged confederate was convicted Of
receiving stolen property, knowing
to be stolen, but Mr.. T. j. Gibson has,
not been we'll enough to appear IN
court and have the sealed sentence
read to him, so that he, too, is virtu-
allv free so far as the sentence Of the
court is concerned. DR.. Bates was IN
the city today, but he mas not yet re-
piled to the Attorney Generals let
ter in regard to his liability for the
bonds stolen during his administra-
ton. Treasurer Jennings has indi-
Gated his probable intention to settle
without suit. y. d.

Birmingham, Ala.--Between rs and
100 men are believed to have per-
ished In the mines OF the Yolande
Coal and Coke Company, near
Besoemer, and 30 miles west Of Bir.
mingham, Monday morning.
Shortly after 10 o'clock there was a
terrible explosion in the mines. the
cause of which has not yet been deter
mined. or the 100 men who had gone
down the shafts Monday morning only
eight had emerged alive at last re-
ports. and the remainder, II Is be-
Iieved. are dead or dying.
A relief train was hurried from Bes-
semer to the scene over the Louisville
g Nashville railroad. and DR.. G. d.
Craeve. president OF the company,
proceeded from this city in an auto
mobile.
The mines are located about 35
miles west OF here. Indications point
to a dust explosion. although gas Is
said to have existed in this place.
Fourteen men were working in sub
entry No. 2. and crawled out before IL
o'clock. They we're so badly burned
that their recovery Is doubtful.
The rescue work was taken up at
once, but It was about two hours be.
fore the mine could be entered, and It
Is feared that this may have caused
the death OF the men in the mine.
A tremendous crowd is around the
mine and every assistance is being
rendered.
Officers OF the mine assert that the
news of the explosion might be exag.
gerated, and that 1t Is probable the
number of dead will be considerably
