FRENCH DISTILLERS AGITATED.
Bill Before Senate to Prohibit Manu-
facture of Absinthe.
Special Cablegram to The Star.


PARIS. May 9.-The French distillers
are in state of agitation similar to that
from which the British brewers are suf-
fering over the draft of a law that has
been laid before the senate by Senators
Beranger and de Lamarzelle for the pro-
hibition of all manufacture of absinthe.
A similar motion has already been re-
jected by the chamber of deputies. but
the action of the two senators is already
dislocating business.
Probably no drink has a worse reputa-
ton than absinthe. but the distillers point
OUT that absinthe is practically unknown
in Brittany and Normandy, which head
the statistics of nebriety in France. The
producers of the raw materials. such as
the harborists growers of French hyssop,
the makers of bottles and corks. i'm short
the legion employed in the trade are
making common cause with the distillers
while ii is pointed out that the national
treasury would lose $la,J00OOO by the
prohibition of absnthe.

AGREEMENT
IS REACHED
Relative to the BOND for the
City Treasurer.
FUNDS DISTRIBUTED
School Boards Money Dlvi-
ded Among Banks.
From Now on Two Percent Interest
on Daily Balance will be Paid by
the Banks.

Following a conference of the
dnnance cdmmittees of council and
board of education last night the
matter of bond for the city treasurer
was arranged in satisfactory man
iner.
The city treasurer receives sal
airy of 500 per year from the school
board. If required to give separ-
ate bond for handling the school
money It would cost him $125 annu-
ally. The treasurer threatened so
resign IL an arrangement other than
,,the one proposed could not be made.
At the present time the treasurer's
bond is paid by the banks in which
the school money Is deposited. Each
of the banks in the city have agreed
ito 90 on the bond of the treasurer
and today about $4,000 of the school
money was distributed among the
various banks of the city.
The treasurer states that unless
the schol board named depositary
he would be unable to furnish a bond
so that this arrangement was made
necessary. In the future all of the
lDnks will share alike in the matter
of school funds and each bank will
pay the city two per cent interest
on deposits for both school and city
funds.

SLAVERY

Washington, March PA vivid
description of atrocities allegedly per-
petrated upon slave laborers on cocoa
plantations on the islands of Principe
and st. Tome, Portuguese, West Az

|"Children's Lives in Africa" by Cen
Ieral Joubert Pienaer of South Africa,
at last nights session of the Inter-
national Congress on the Welfare Of
the Children under the auspices of
the National Mothers Congress.
The speaker said that he had form
ed an association with the intent Of
,,petitioning the Portuguese Govern
ment and on behalf of the slaves TO
establish missionary settlements to
lcivilize and christiani2e them, and
to act as a guard over the slave trad
er, and to report the atrocities to the
association. This seems tonne he
said, "the only effective way of put
lting a stop to this insanity He
asked for the support Of the Moth
ers' Congress in his mission of hui
'mauity.
| After stating that "the cruelties
meted out to these degraded human
ibeings on the mainland were beyond
description" General Pienaer con-
itinued:
children are torn away from the
breasts of their mothers and sold
| as slaves. Slaves in the employ OF
their taslimasters are beaten to death
men, women and. children are multi
ated. Often after native has been
done to death he is quartered, and
the different portions of his body
are hung on trees to tcworize the

High Grade Pianos at the
Price of limitations.

It's surprise even to ourselves
that so many people at this early
season are taking advantage of our
window sale in purchasing fine
piano, Yet, when you come to think
you can buy real high grade piano
now at this sale for the price of
poorer one ordinarily. Yesterday a
fine S400 Clarendon was snapped up
at $2i0 Think of 1t. Today an
other one, fine $475 Hadderff, a
beauty, at $3.50. Tomorrow another
and SO on. You have probably want
ed piano but never dreamed of be-
ing able to own real high grade
piano. Now you can own one at the
price of an imitation, Such an OPP
portunity will not occur again. SO
don't let it pass without grasping the
rare opportunity.
