Paris, December 19.-The first woman ever elected to any public office in France is Madame Clemence Jusselin. who has just been returned Parisian "Conseiller Brudhomme," or as one should say 'Brudfemme." She thus be- comes a commercial judge entitled to de- eide in trade disputes The lady Is dressmaker and was put up by the rep resentatives of her profession Four other women were candidates, but were defeated. Mime. Jusselin has been elect ed almost entirely by men. The new law which came into force a few weeks ago both renders women eligible to the "councils of honest men" and extends the franchise to women for elections to those bodies. But the latter privilege was hardly used at all by the thousands of French women employed in trade or man- aging businesses of their own, and had 1t not been for the male vote not even one of the female candidates would have passed. Mime. Jusselin looks upon her election as an almost historic event" for 1t is something to be proud of to be the first woman in France whose name has come out at the top of legally rec ognized ballot. And now let us to work" added the dressmaker and com mercial judge.
 Many Americans of means and sport ing proclivties travelling in Europe have been the victims of clever and well organized gang of swindlers who for months have been feecing wealthy for eigners at fashionable watering places including Ostend, yichy and Ak les Bans The swindlers were all fashionably dressed and as some of them had as stunned titles the managers of the hotels at which they stayed were easily de- ceived They operated on a careful plan. They rarely frequented clubs where gam bling takes place, as these establish ments are too closely watched. When they found a wealthy foreigner member of the gang would be told off to play the part of decoy. He would strike up an acquaintance with the victim, then introduce him to his friends and after wards ecarte or dice would be played.

The boy, acting upon h.s flial instinct, seeing a struggle between his father and enemy, seized a shotgun which lay in the wagon and fired its contents in- to the body of his fathers combatant. The man fell dead.
 On trial there seemed to be ne ds- nial of the facts. Both father and child were convicted of manslauEhter, one for ccmplic:ty and the other for the act itself.
 The conviction was had on May (. 1907. As the year was drawing to q close for which the boy was to be held by the authorities at East Lake, his mother. grieved and wan from the suf- ferings of penury, came to Montgom- cry a few days ago and was given an audience in her son's behalf by the Governor. She also pleaded before the State Board of Pardons.
 She stated her ease briefly. The husband was in the penitentiary for i've more years. She was feeling the pinch of poverty because she had neither son nor father to help her in
