A C0MICAL LAWSUIT,
Odd Revenge Of the Whimsical Count
Dc lauraquais.

Odd Revenge Of the Whlmsieal Count
Dc laurasuais.
The Count de Lauraguais was one of
the most singular characters Of a
whimsical time. He was full Of oddi-
ties and had reckless spirit of daring.
The holiness of his language and &C.
ton once drew upon him the displeas-
ure Of Louis XVI, who banished him
from Paris, but he came back on a
festal day and was seen In the very
face Of the court walking about race
course. The king winked at the esca-
pade. Such culpr1t was incorrig1ble.
But one Of the most absurd Of his
antics had to do with the Prince D., a
vefF dull eourtier, against whom he
had a grudge. One day the count ap-
piled very gravely to physician, ask
ing II It were possible for q person to
die Of ennui.
"such a thing" said the doctor,
'wou}d be very singular and very
rare"
"But what want to know" said the
count lis whether it would be posi-
ble."
"Well," answered the doctor, "a long
continued state Of ennui might induce
some disease, such as consumption,
and in that sense it might cause the
patients DEATH"
On this the consultation was written
down and signed at the counts request
and the fee paid.
Next he went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make a legal
complaint against man who by any
means whatsoever had formed a de-
sign against his life. The advocate as
eured him that there was not the least
doubt Of it and In his turn signed a
declaration. Armed with these docu-
ments, the Count de Lauraguais insti-
tuted/ criminal proceedings against
Prince D., who, he declared, had form.
ed the design Of firing him to death!
OF course the suit ended in laughter
but he had had the satisfaction Of tell
Ing the world how his enemy Impress
ed him.

The history of immigration in the
United States shows that all immi-

more or less suspicion, dislike and

industry, frugality and enterprise are
seen to come from them, the prejudice
dies away, and only persists among
ignoramuses or the narrow minded.

FIGHTING AT cAsABLANcAls NOT
AT AN END-TWo ATTACKS
BY NATIVES.

Tangier. Aug. II. M The fighting at
Casablanca is not at an end. Two con-
certed movements have been made on
the French and Spanish forces, but in
spite of this the local situation would
appear to be improving. The presence
of large detachment of French troops
encamped in the outskirts of the town
is serving to restore confidence, and
number of European residents who
sought refuge on the ships in the har-
Dor and at the consulates are return
ing to their homes. Fears of a general
uprising, however, have by no means
subsidized.
Attacked by Tribesmen.
Gen. Drudes camp outside Casablan-
ca was attacked twice Thursday after
noon by tribesmen, who were success
fully repulsed, the warships aiding
with their artillery. Thursday night
the Arabs made another attempt to get
into Casablanca, but were driven
back. All the consulates are now
heavily guarded. French and Spanish
trooys are in complete possession of
the town. i.
The Kmass tribesmen have secured
possession of Caid Sir Harry Mac
Lean from Raisuli, his bandit captor.
and are negotiating with Mahammed
Ell Torres, a representative of the sui
tan, for his release.
More Men and Ships.
Both Spain and France are prepar-
ing to send more men and ships to Mo-
rocco Germany is showing deep in
terest in the proceedings, but there
are no signs Of European complica-
tions. France and Spain are acting
in complete harmony, and the powers
are leaving them free hand
The Moorish losses in the first forty
eight hours Of fighting are placed at
1000 men. The French and Spanish
forces had twelve or fifteen men killed
or wounded.
Eight hundred bodies of MoorsI and
Jews, more or less decomposed, al
ready have been removed from the ma
tive dwellings.
Bodies Dragged Through Town.
After the sacking of the Jewish quar-
tiers the bodies of the dead Jews were
dragged around the town by natives
with shouts of derision. The French
| commander. has had many wealthy
Moors arrested and placed in prison
because stores of arms and ammuni-
ton were discovered in their houses.

CHICAGO.

Chicago, Aug. 10. ~ Following the
lead of the telegraph operators en-
ployed by the Western Union Tele-
graph company in Chicago, who went
on strike Thursday night because they
were asked to work with non-union
men in Los Angeles telegraphers in
eight other cities quit work yester-
day. Five hundred men employed by
the Postal Telegraph company in Chi
cago who belong to the same local of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
as the Western Union men, and who
declare that their working conditions
with the company have become intol-
cradle, took advantage of the situation
and quit work in body at 6 o'clock.
Other Cities Tied Up.
With the w9lkout of the Postal enl-
ployes Chicago is left with about thir-
ty-fve telegraphers endeavoring to
transmit the business of both tele-
graph companies, where under normal
conditions fully $500 men are used
The other Western Union offices
which became involved in the trouble
yesterday together with the EHmber
of men who quit at each, are:
Salt Lake City, SO; Helena, 40; Kan
sas City, $50; Dallas, 1O5; Fort Worth,
Tex, 40; Colorado Springs, 10; Den
yer, SO.
In New Orleans the men employed
by the Postal Telegraph company last
night left their keys to enforce de-
mands made on the company several
weeks ago.
.,s.y. Will Spread No Further.
Late last night the general situation
had cleared somewhat, and where
earlier in the day it appeared as if the
strike of the commercial men would
be universal throughout the United
States, the indications now are that no
further strikes will occur, for the pres
ent at least. Under orders from Ma
tional President Small of the telegra-
piers organization, National Secretary
| Russell telegraphed the secretaries OF
the various locals throughout the coun-
try to keep their men at work until
| they received further orders.
Western Union Will Fight.
New York, Aug. 1O.-The Western
Union Telegraph company will fight
the strike of their operators in the
Western cities, in the East or wher-
ever the men may go out. A strike
among the 5000 operators of Greater
New York city is imminent, though
sentiment among the employees is said
to be divided.
The Postal people will also fight, it

MAKES THE LAW EFFECTIVE.
Federal court Modifies Injunction
AGAINST State of Alabama,


Montgomery, Ala, Aug 1.-THE re-
straining order issued some time ago
against the state to prevent the opera
ton of laws affecting railroads, was
yesterday modified in the federal
court to allow the Southern railway
and allied lines to put in the IL cent
passenger fares and the state freight
schedule fixing the rates on commodi-
ties in the state. This is to carry out
the agreement made between the state
and the Southern railway as a result
of which the recently Cancelled license
of the railway was restored.
The effect Of this order will be to
reduce the passenger and freight rates
on more than 1000 miles of railroad
in the state.
Gov. Conner intends to force the
other railroads to follow the Southern
and put in the lowered freight AMI
passenger rates.
