THE PRESIDENT
OF FRANCE
IS 66

Paris. Nov. 6.-Kings, emperor
and presidents of many natipnn
Joined in the general felicitations to
President Clement Armand Falliere1
who today celebrated his 66th birth
day. Mr.. Fallieres was born ON
November 6. 1S41, at Mezin. An =
young man he studied law and en-
tered upon Its practice at Merac, OF
which town he was elected mayor.
He first became prominent In natiou-
al politics In 1876. when he was
elected to the chamber of deputies.
In 1880 he was elected senator and
since that time his career has been
continual triumph. eliminating
with the highest office in the gift
OF the French people. His enemies
OF whom he has many. declare that
ne was born under a lucky star. and
this belief was borne out at the Last
celebration of the French national
holiday. July IA, when an unsuccess-
ful attempt was made upon his life.
Mr.. Fallieres is credited with holdiua
socialistlc ideas for the French ma
tion, and played a prominent part In
the movement for the complete separ-
ton OF church and state In France. He
represents the radical. anti-clerical
atheistic school of philosophy and
statesmanship, now dominant in
France, but IN his Official actions
has always displayed a spirit of strict

INTERNATIONAL

SOON

New York, Nov. 6. 6.-According to
,r,snds of the family, 1t is now de-
sn,tely decided that Miss Theodore
sbonts, younger daughter OF Theo-
dore p. Shonts, railroad magnate
nd former chairman of the Panama
canal commits ion, it to wed Emman-
uel Theodore Bernard Marie d'Albert

mes OF de Pioquigny. a French no.
beman. A dozen times previously
similar announcement has been
made. and as many times 1t has been
denied. with considerable heat and
much torrid language. by Papa
shouts. Now 1t Is understood that
he has finally given his reluctant
consent to the marriage, which has
been tentatively set for Christmas
week.
That the report is true ia borne
out, in a way. by Papa Shonts him
self Time was when he declared
bravely and SO that all the world
might hear, that no daughter of his
would ever wed a worthless and dis
sipated noble, and least of all a
French one. "Other parts of the
world has monkeys, Europe has
Frenchmen," said Schopenhauser, and
In this statement the stern and re-
lentless Papa Shonts solemnly con-
cured. But the way of maid with
q man-especially when that man is
her fond father-is past understand
ing. and Papa Shonts no longer
waxes ferocious when the subject of
the marriage. OF his daughter is
mentioned. Instead, he assumes a
sullen air, as one who has been
beaten.
Therefore, 1t appears that within
less than month after Miss Gladdys
Vanderbilt has become the Countess
Szechenyi. America will have another
International wedding. II is stated
on good authority that the ceremony
which will make Miss Theodore
duchess Of the French republic will
be performed in Washington, where
the young woman Is q leader in
society.

II hospital surgeons took cognizance of
the reasons for or circumstances attending
the attempt OF a person to end life there
would be infinite trouble and scandal. They
are not judges. They cannot discriminate
between patients. The London surgeons
who attended Rayner were not supposed
t. know the man or the cause OF his con-
dition. Their humane endeavors have
therefore no relation whatever to the sub
sequent proceeding in court, and It is
stretch of sentiment to cite their success
now as a reason why the law should not
take Its course. The petitioners are, OF
course, entirely within their rights to ask
for clemency on the ground of the mans
supposed mental alienation. 1t would be
dangerous. however. in this or any similar
case anywhere to permit the issues to be
confused by a reference to the escape Of
the convicted man from his own attempt at
self-execution. The most brutal murderer,
by the infection of harmless wound upon
himself. might simulate desire to die
after taking another mans life and escape
the full penalty for his crime by thus ap-
pealing TO the sentimentality of the public.

True Meaning of the City Drift.

The estimates lust announced by the cen
sus bureau point Enthusiastically to a greater
| increase In the city population than In that
| OF the rural regions. Thus the fact is dem
enstrated that the city drift, which has
given the soctologists serious concern Is
not only unchecked. but Is stronger than
ever The country districts are growing, or
course, but not rapidly as the great CEN
ters and at the present rate of growth sew
eral of our cities will in few decades be
of London-lke proportions. Already New
York Is closely crowding the British me-
tropolis. In 1901 London held approx
mately 100000 people and New York
3. 43I, 900. According TO the estimates just
issued New York now has about 4.1l3.OOO
a rate of gain which is likely to cause our
biggest town to overtake the pride of John
Bull by another decade or in fifteen years
at most London is OF course, growing it
self, but it lacks the sources Of human sup
ply which are New York's. There is practi-
cally no immigration from foreign parts.
compared with that which annually pours
through Ellis Island and in very large part
remains within New York city. Further
more there Is back of London no such vast
area and heavy population to drift town.
wards.
Unless our municipal methods improve
soon our city problems will be very serious
indeed. We have succeeded in establishing
a wonderfully strong national organization,
but at the same time We have failed Ia
mentally as q people In the matter OF or
gambling our cities. A glance around today
reveals a sad state Of affairs. We have
municipal corruption In New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia San Francisco, In fact. In
practically every large city in the United
States We are periodically presented with
positive proof that in these large centers
the municipal organizations are in league
with the forces of vice and crime and dissl-
patton. Corruption Of the elections machin-
cry is charged against SO many cities that
faith in the purity OF the municipal pro-
cesses OF self-government is at low ebb.
And still, the cities are growing at great
rate while we are doing little or nothing
permanently to cure the municipal evils.
Once in while a community revolts when
especially shocking crimes and frauds are
brought TO light. But the spasm of virtue
once passed it Iapses back into its old
ways There Is New York, for an instance,
which one day woke up to the fact that 1t
was being robbed and cheated and cor
rupted and polluted. 1t determined to re-
form, and reform it dd-for a season. It
Is now as bad as ever. II reliable reports
ara to be accepted. Philadelphia has also
had its period Of penitence. San Francisco
is passing through the stages. But perma-
nent betterment Is nowhere evidenced.
while the populations continue to increase
and to render easier the work OF the cor
ruptionists and the moral poisoner and the
lawbreaker.
That is the real meaning of these census
figures, which show that the city drift is
on the increase.

Umbrella Pokers,

Practically every man who carries an um-
brella fnstinctively- uses 1t as a poker while
standing at rest. The umbrella carrier, in
deed. can no more forego the pleasure OF
exploring cracks in the walk or holes in
loafs on the corner. than he can stop
breathing. 1t Is second nature to him. This
habit has just cost the New York Central
Railroad Company the neat sum Of $25, 600.
Throughout the length Of the electrified"
portion Of that company's line there are, OF
course, open spaces where passengers gain
access to or leave the cars. At these places
the third-rail guard has heretofore been
partially exposed to penetration by the thin
ferules of umbrellas, and several people
have been more or less severely shocked.
visable, in the interest of economy, If not
humanity, to prevent further trouble. and
so 1t has Just completed an expensive In
stallation of shields at these open places
which no umbrella poker can puncture.
It would seem as though the average per-
son would be cautious about poking steel
rod around into the parts OF highly
charged electric machine. Yet hundreds
have been doing it daily for some time
past along the Central's lines. They would
hardly venture to stick their ferules into
a dynamo or ram their walking sticks Into
the wheel of a passing street car. but they
cannot resist the temptation to explore the
mysteries Of the unseen. It Is fortunate
that the railroad company has taken warn
ing In time to prevent tragedies.
