NJ Lepine, the energetic and fam ous prefect of Paris police, has taken a decision which will be greatly ap- pTeciatedby the thousands of Ameri- cans and other tourists who yearly visit Paris.
 Seeing what a difficulty the police had in trying to direct the numerous foreigners who asks them for direc-
 tiOn. but who cannot speak French,
 the prefect has decided that a number of the members of the police force chosen for their intelligence shall be taught English, German and Italian, so as to be able to help the foreigner Each of these picked policemen will be taught one or the other Of the Ian guages in a special school, arranged for them and prizes and increased pay will be offered them as inducements.
 The young King of Spain is well
 known to be an ardent automobilist, and guides his cars with a skill and
 nerve which might be envied by many a professional But moreover, Al fonso XIII is also an accomplished
 mechanician, and is so devoted to the latest sport that he has studied the
 mechanism of motors in all parts, and the mounting and unmounting of the various appurtenances have no secrets for him.
 The king has just given a public
 proof of his ability in this respect. He had for some days been waiting at San Sebastian a new automobile or l dered from Paris. On being informed that in consequence of delay the car
 had only arrived at the static of Irun, the king went there immediately, pen etrated into the freight depot, took
 over the auto, and aided by his chaf- feur, put it together.
 This done, his maesty mounted the | car, and rode back to San Sebastian. Napoleon, the Great, was a great admirer of the art of dancing, and | used to encourage his men to dance
 when he knew battle was shortly going to take place, in order to give them agility, ,suppleness. and heart. " The practice of having ball room for each regiment which was formerly an institution in France, has for many years been abandoned. but the repub- | lican government has reverted to the
 opinion that more attention ought to
 be paid to the art of dancing in the
 army The Minister of War. has or
 dered that a course of dancing shall
 form part of the training of the school
 of sub-officers at Joinville-le-Pont. These sub-officers are to be made
 into accomplished dancers. SC that
 when dispersed in various regiments
 they will be able to teach their men
 this art which it is hoped will not only
 keep them from too great frequenta- l tioG of the cafe, but will teach them
 suppleness, grace and address that
 cannot help but be of great service
 to them.

FRANCE STUDIES OU R FOOD
 STATUTE
Gross AduIteration of Food in Republic Leads to Effort to Correct Abuses - Wine Growers Gave Cue.
Special Cable to Reviewl By Henri Dubois.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-The United States Pure Food Law Is being thoroughly studied by experts engaged by the French government and may be made the foundation for government bill submitted during the next session of the Chamber.
 The recent agitation of the wine growers in the south of France has resulted in more public attention be- ing drawn to the existence of food adulteTations and the need of an ef- fective checking of this kind of fraud.
 The authorities promise to increase their vigilance in the matter and the judges express their intention of pun ishing fraud in foods to the utmost of their power under the existing law.
 How prevalent it is, is shown by the fact that the central laboratory of the Financial Ministry which has only been in existence about a month, has already certified forty-nine specimens of wine out of a total of a hundred and sixty-five analysed, to have been adulterated.
 Two scientific men, NJ. Chevalier and Baudement have published a guide" to food deliberations. and most remarkable examples of ingenu- ity in humbugging the consumer form the contents. Butter is mentioned which consists of mixture of beef fat and chaI coffee which is nothing but breadcrumbs, old beans, chicory, acOrns, brickdust, tale powder, and powdered cinders; while the cheap brands of champagne are said to be made of cider and cherries.

GREENVILLE, Ohio, February "A
man who is a complete mystery to the city
officials here has just been sentenced to a
life term Of Imprisonment practically at his
own request. He openly robbed dozen
houses in Greenvile. stealing nothing but
food, however, and allowed himself to be
captured and then pleaded guilty to the
charge against him. saying:

To Sheriff John A. Hober the prisoner
mas 1ntimated that he has committed seri-
Gus crime in some other part of the country
and fears he is pursued by avengers who
intend to torture him.
The prisoner gives his name as William
Welsh. The only admission he would make
concerning his family was that he has
brother-in-law living in Newport. who
works for man named Taylor. the pro-
prietor Of a large stock farm. He said that
his brother-in-law had met with an acct

part of his nose. Welsh said his sister,
who married the Newport man. died seven
years ago.
This part OF welsh's strange story has
directed the investigation to Newport and

that the Welsh family has had several vio-

OF foul play in nearly every one.

LESSONS IN DIPLOMACY.
DR.. Radcliffe Discusses "Young Man
in Politics"

Continuing his series of lectures on the
general subject of Lessons in Diplomacy"
Rev DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, at
the service last evening took as his topic,
"A Young Man In Politics."
Youth is not tactful." he said. Talent
is power but tact is skill. and 1t is the in
stinct of character which draws to itself
good judgment, common sense and SYM
pathy. Tact is the politicians strong arm
His aim is to do things, and things will not
be done by the multitude through whips
and scorpions. Tact recognizes the foun-
dalton of the throne on the will Of the peo-
pie and the Office Of the scepter as rule
for service-and office is trust.
youth Is apt to be irreyerent," DR.. Rad
cliffe declared Because 1t does not feel
the sacredness of tradition and 1t lacks
perspective. The modern craze for youth
in affairs has offensive elements of irrev-
erence-and the nation cannot live IL its
old men are banished.
'The young man by nature is willful, and
he needs the restraint OF wit and Judgment.
Life. individual or national, is by com
promise. We must learn to think of the
other man. and to yield that we may suc-
ceed.'

PARALYZEs COAL INDUSTRY.
Southeastern States Suffer Through
Car Famine.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, February 4,-The
coal industry of east Tennessee and south
eastern Kentucky has been parslyzed the
last week on account of the coal-car famine
which has Prevailed on both the Southera
and Louisville and Nashville railroads, the
only two lines penetrating the districts.
Only one day, Monday, were any ears given
the mine operators. and they have been UNI
able even to partially supply the large dis
trict which relies on this section for it's
coal. Local operators have been notified Of
the closing down of hundreds of small in
dustries in the southeastern states on ac-
count of lack of c9al, but they are power
less to help until the coal cars are sup
piled.
Both roads promise partial supply of
cars for Monday Not only is the supply
of steam coal exhausted In many towns
and cities, but the supply of commercial
or domestic coal is running dangerously
low and a cold wave of any duration would
bring hardships.

ATTACKS CUT RAILROADS.
Borrowing Power Impaired, Says New
York Central Man.

NEW YORK, February 4.-Asserting that
apparent hostility Of the national admins
tration to the railroads soon would make
it impossible for the roads to borrow
money. W.. c. Brown. senior vice president
of the New York Central. has written to a
prominent federal official a letter to which
wide circulation was given In Wall street
Saturday. Mr.. Brown says no one wants
to buy railroad stocks or bonds at present
because every mans hand, from President
Roosevelt down. is raised against the roads
He SAYS he never has invested dollar In
railroad stocks. but that all his money Is
in bank stocks, farms or manufacturing en-
terprises, and that the poorest OF these
pays better than the best railroad stock
He continues:
"WhiIe as vet accurate figures cannot be
submitted l think am safe in saying that
the pay rolls of the railroads of the country
in 1897 as compared with those of 1905. will
be increased at least $I5WO,OOO, and tbs
cost of materials of all kinds used in con-
structIon and operation Is steadily rising
1t seems very probable that the compensa-
ton paid railroads for transporting the
mails will be very materially reduced al
this session of Congress, and the question
Of demanding a reduction in freight rates
is being agitated in different sections of the
country. "A candle burned at both ends is
soon consumed.
railroads Of the character above referred
to are enough to seriously check the invest
ment of money in new railroads or in great
improv ements in existing roads, but wors:
than all this is the apprehension and alarm
which are spreading all over the country
based upon the fear that there is a definite
deep-seated prejudice against railroads as
such, which makes investment in them sc
hazardous as to prevent prudent men con-
sidering them. Unless this feeling can In
some way be allayed it will, l fear. result
in reducing to minimum improvements
of this character just at a time when the
commerce of the country and the develop.
ment of It's resources demand the most lib
erai possible expenditures
"In regard to your second inquiry
namely, my opinion in regard to Mr. Hills
estimate that the requirements Of the rail
road traffic in the United States would de-
mand [an average yearly expenditure OF
something more than 81 100000 for the
next five years. if the business of the coun-
try is to continue increasing in anything
like the ratio of the last three years, Mr.
Hills estimate is not an unreasonable one.
Personally l believe that the attacks on
nearly every class Of great corporate in
terests in this country are commencing to
bear their legitimate and inevitable fruit,
and that already we can begin to see the
slowing down of the wheels, and that with
in eighteen months from this time the chill
which the commerce of the country will
have received will make possible very
substantial reduction in Mr.. Hills figures"
