Paris Statistics Show 20 Per Cent of
Students Are Foreigners.
Frances claim to be the pioneer of
higher education is well exemplified
by the annual statistics of the Univer-
sity Of Paris just published. OF a to-
tal number OF 1862 students admit
ted to the Ave faculties of law, medi-
cine. science, arts and pharmacy, O.
s34. OF nearly 20 per cent, were for
eigners. OF these LII were women
students and in this respect it is inter-
ssting to note that the foreign women
students, far outnumber the French.
Russians form the great majority.
They specially favor the faculties of
science and medicine, other nationals
ties being almost entirely confined to
that OF arts. Although there is a very
large number OF American students in
Paris they are almost entirely confined
to art or music and do not therefore
appear on these tables.

strike BREAKERs RorrEp.
Fierccly Assailed by Mob at Pensacola,
florida.

The bringing of a carload Of strike
breakers to Pensacola, Fla, from st.
Lauis Friday afternoon for the Pensa-
cola Electric company was the signal
for rioting and disorder which resulted
In the injuhy Of fifteen of the imported
men.
No sooner had the strikebreakers
arrived and started for the a sheds
than q fight occurred between them
n the sympathizers of the union
men. Bricks, bottles and SHELLS were
hurled at the strikebreakers, and in
turn the latter fired shots, used heavy
sticks and bricks. Fol over an hour
the riot continued, the strike breakers
gradually getting nearer to the car
barns. but before they cached there
fifteen had beer wounded.
When near the car barns 10 fierce
was the onslaught on the imported
men that they separated and fled, thir-
ty running into a house, while
the remainder reached the car barn
and barricaded the doors.
The thirty men who gained the me-
gro house barricaded the doors, and it
took the police over an hour to dis
perse the mob and remove the men to
places OF safety.
The mayor has issued a proclama-
ton closing all saloons, and the board
OF public safety has ordered the mar
shall to swear in a sufficient umbe Of
deputies to Quell the disturbances.
Seventy OF the strikebreakers were
marched to the city jail. where they
will be kept In safety.

While the present thrush Of settlers

steps w been taken by United

these fake locaters, who are finding

ature advising prospective settlers to
either consult a United States commits
sioner on the lay of the land or to in
form themselves first and make their
locations. In numerous in
stances old settlers We're asked for aid
in making locations, and while they
knew the land their unfamiliarity with
the surveys caused trouble. This is
now causing the land offices a great
amount of additional and troublesome
work. SO far as known no attempt
has been made by government agents

AI.ID" FOR WATERFOWL.
Expected Mayor Martin Will Screw 1t
ON Tight.

The campaign which has just closed
in Waterfowl, resulting ia the election
of John w. Martin TO the office OF
mayor, was the hottest in the recent
history of the town. There was virtu-
ally a house to hous campaign, every
newspaper in the town taking an ac-
tive art. Two Of the weeklies and the
daily were strenuous supporters of re-
firing Mayor d. C. Thomas, the other
two weeklies having the
cause OF Mr. Martin.
During all of the Thompson dmi
tstration there is alleged to have been
open gambling. So rank had become
these conditions that men who rarely
trouble themselves with such matters
manifested deep interest in the mu-
nicipal contest and determined that
the time had arrived for a general
cleaning up, and the result is that Wa
4ertown is supposed to have closed the
..lidp and to have nailed it down for
the coming year.
Judged by the record which John
w. Martin has repeatedly made as the
city's chief magistrate, this being his
fourth election, although not for con-
~secutive terms, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that Watertown will have a
higher moral tone.

The annual recurrence Of the CEN
fury old child labor market at Fried
richshafen. Germany, on March 81
which many local journals describe rs
only a slightly disguised selling into
temporary slavery, has again aroused
q storm OF indignation in the frontier
provices OF Austria, Switzerland and
Germany.
In the market place of Friedrich.
shafen between 300 and 400 boys and
girls of from IL to IA years of age
who's homes are in the outlying dis
tricts Of the Tyrol and Vorarlborg are
contracted out yearly for seven
months, from Aupril / to the end OF
October. to farmers from southern
Bavaria. Wurtemburg and Baden.
Very little consideration is given to
the wishes of the children themselves,
most of them being sent into service
against their will and in order to sat
isfy the avarice Of their parents.
h children generally, in the
charge of their parents. reach Fried
~richshafen on labor market day. Here
they are drawn up on the market
place and then brought forward for
inspection by a crowd Of farmers,
who look them over, feel and poke
their limbs, meanwhile discussing their
physical merits and dement's. The
whole day is thus passed in the pro-
cess of selection.
Gradually all are disposed of and
those In charge of the children then
sign with the farmers agreements for
the seven months bondage and the
sums agreed upon are handed over.
This usually amounts for the entire
period of seven months to $3.50, but
sometimes 1t attains $50.
