The headliner this week is the Var

CONFUSION
Results From Remaining
Of MassilIon Streets
That is Worse
Than Ever
TO AMEND ORDINANCE
Special to Morning News.

Special TO Morning News.
Massillon, o., March 3O.-An In
crease rather than a decrease in the
confusion caused by the similarity of
street names in Massillon is resulting
from the remaining ordinance passed
by the city council last Tuesday night.
At least two OF the changed names of
streets conflict with names OF other
streets and It is mainly on this ac-
count that the confusion has been
Increased. BY the changing OF East
street to Lincoln street the number
OF Lincoln streets has been increased
TO two. Such a condition Is begin
ming to cause great difficulty at the
postoffice. mo. "a Lincoln street." is
greeted with (which Lincoln street do
you mean" One of the streets inter-
sects the eastern portion OF the city
and the other runs for short dis
tance in the extreme southwestern
part OF Massillon. In that district call
ed Columbia Heights. Unless the
name OF the person TO whom the mail
30 ahhlNbnNu - W lut pDhl-
Office employees serious difficulty is en-
cOuntered in properly delivering the
mail. Another conflict caused by the
changing OF the street names lies in
the fact that there are now two Wall
streets. The original Wall street lies
In the northeastern corner OF the city
and the other which was formerly
Guide street. is located in the south
east. Both OF these streets are small
side streets and the confusion result
ing on their account Ia slight.
Some OF the new names are almost
entirely unknown TO most OF the Mas
sillon citizens who have not yet grown
accustomed TO the use OF the change. |
Trouble Is experienced by even the
wise policemen in directing strangers
20 the newly named streets.
At the next meeting OF the city
council II is probable that an amend
ment will be made TO the street re-
naming ordinance to provide against
the conflicts which are occurring. A !
meeting of the street and alley COM
mittee OF the council was held this ey-
ening 10 decide upon new names for |
the streets whose present names con- /
flct. Lincoln and Wall streets will /
probably be the only ones affected by
the change.

our purchases abroad of whatever we could pay for in cash. and that was followed by demanding cash for our sales abroad. Then our balance was ranging in excess of $100, 900, 900 monthly. It was magnificent demon stratlon of reserve power but was ob- jectionable for It's complications of all international finance Our imports are still showing decreases. but at a sdakening rate, and our exports which show decrease on a nine months com- parlson of over $100,000.0OO for Septem- Der alone show an increase the first for year. and a pleasing novelty. Our monthly balance abroad is now only $4l.295.000. and large enough. This has a bearing on the treasury's defiict. the customs receipts at New York showing gain for the first time this year.
 Closely corresponding to these signs of an attenuation in our foreign trade Is corresponding sign in our domes- tic trade. The Wall Street Journal puts the decrease of railway gross earnings at 1O.S5 per cent for the year. $40 per cent for September. and 2.13 per cent for the first week of October. It Is clear enough where a part of this tariff comes from. Tn fifty-nine cities there is an increase of building over last year. the increase. which is only partially known heinz over per cent, and the outlay $54.354344.

,henn Tour of World.

"Eor S7 1-2 cents a day you can get a tour around the world" announced an enterprlslng man at Lyons. In a pamphlet which was widely distrib- uted.
 Everything was included, fare, hotel and travelling expences. There were at Lyons and elsewhere any number of persons apparently willing to travel around the world at this cheap rate. when asked how such an advantage c0uId be offered at so low a price it was explained that some families which had experienced reverses had consti- tuted a fund 100 years ago. the interest on which now amounted to more than s2O 900. 900.
 Hurry up." added the pamphlet. eff you want to get the advantage of this wonderful opportunity"
 Hundreds of people did hurry up. and the dollars for this wonderfully cheap worlds tour came pouring in so rapid Iy that the promoter of the scheme actually had to open up an office to re- ceive all his customers. He was taking in money all day, and the departure of the first number of eXcursionfsts. which was fixed for November 1, was posted up in a conspicuous place In the ofice. For some reason or other. however, the police got meddllng with this glorious business. and found that no steamer had ever. been chartered. and no funds ever left by anybody for any such pur- pose. The only funds that existed were the contributions of the gulllble sub- scrihers, which went to swell the bank account of the promoter.

 New York Times.
 In the anniversary week of the greatest panic we have ever experi- enced 1t Is already possible to see signs that the tide Is rising again, and that the political apathy Is not sympatsiz- ed with in the currents of business. This is mark edly so In the currents of business off the exchanges, in what may be called the unorgahized forms of trade which come clost to the peo- pie. who trouble themselves little with theories of events but go about their daily concerns mindful only of actuali- ties within their own experience. This new turn of events naturally iS-reflect- ed least in the bank exchanges. These still show a decrease of some 13 per cent and that is far from negligible. But they register sdackness In cities. and are affected by more speculative considerations than the signs of im- provement to which reference Is made.
 One of these indubltable signs of improving conditions is the return of our foreign trade to a more normal balance. One of the earliest signs of impending trouble was the check to

Week-End NeuUs OfParis
ny Al. VI. LAMOUREUx.

Paris, Oct 24--Major Dreyfus has written a letter to the faction Fran caise," a Nationalist organ. in refuta- tion of the accusation which Is once again being brought against the Court of Cessation, that 1t distorted the law when 1t declared him to be innocent by it's own authority. instead of send ing him for trial by third court-mar- tial.
 Various texts have bc n .doted in support of the theory advanced. among others by Major Guignet. and advocat- ed by The Action Francaise. but Major Dreyfus shows conclusively that the Court of Cessation neither distorted the law nor exceeded its powers. In one passage of his letter. Major Drey- fus writes:
 "The Action Franchise must be aware that the question as to whether the judgment should be quashed with or without another trial, was discussed at length. and in public. before the Court of Cessation.
 "The most eminent lawyers all take the same view of the 445th clause. They all say: The sending before another court Is only required by the law when the innocence of the condemned per- son is not demonstrated clearly by the discussion before the Court of Cassa- tion. When, n the contrary. no por- LlOn OI the CUaTHe CAn Uc fAAlhb6lHS1s there Is no reason for such step. as nothing remains to be tried.' More over, if the law insisted on the nom existence of crime or offence. in the abstract sense of these terms. there was all the same no reason for an- other trial. Nothing remained of the charge which could be submitted to dis cussion by court as, on the one hand. was recognized as innocent of any crime, and, on the other, Esterhazy was declared to be the author of the Bor- dereau, but had been acquitted by a judgment of a court-martial, which could not be modified. This double, in- tangible fact rendered any new trial legally impossible. Besides, the Court of Cessation. in rehabtlitating me with out sending me for a fresh trial, only adhered to jurisprudence of more than ten years date. On January 22, 1898. 1t proclaimed the innocence of 8 poor man who had been condemned for de- sertion by a court-martial when this crime had been committed by another. This decree was read out, explained, and commented on during the discus sion at the Court of Cassation.
 "To sum up. have been pronounced innocent by the full assembly of the highest magistrates in my country as- ter a minute investigation and public discussion, which has reduced to noth- ing the miserable machinations direct ed against ma"

Theology in Court.

AMeOtD&y Au C0uEt.
 Cross examination of a wife on be- half of her husband. Daniel Howard, a Woodford baker. has given the Strat- ford bench a lesson in American theol- ngies that was very new to them.
 The wife summoned the man for per- sistent cruelty. and in the witness box narrated long series of violent as- saultE. which a nelghbor corroborated by evidence of hearing the woman's cries. The allegations amounted to a course of cruelty which. she alleged, had extended over years. The mans defense was that he merely endeav- ored to wean his wife of remarkable religious notions. He stated that ne had been a "Christian Israeiite." but did not belong to them now. He lived quite happily with his wife until she received a number of books and pam phiets from Benton Harbor. Michigan. and told him she would have to make Abrams sacrifice"--that she would have to Ego and leave all."
 She wished to live with him as a sister. He dubbed her resolve "a silly trick, and din't see any sacrifice init" Things went on. and his wife was turned out of the Christian Israelites because of the teachings she had im- bibed. He admitted that he had struck her. but it was only in self defense at all times except once, when she drove him to desperation.
 Howard said that the books had been circulated in a number of Brit ish towns and their teachings had ruined many homes. Finally the case was adjourned.

New York Letter to Pail Mall Gazette.
 London.
 Before the great arc lights have be- gun to flzz and glow, processions. Of work girls of shop girls of profes' sional girls. have passed up and down this great avenue of the city. which l variety of interest and in claims to ones attention forms a strong rival to the Paris boulevard.
 These young women are typical of New York and indeed of the whole American continent. In Independence. in fearlessness, in ability to act and think for tn emselves. they are clearly daughters of the New World. but Tn the taste and elegance of their cloths there Is something of the Parisian spirit. of that peculiar faculty for conn bining colors and blending effects which Is certainly the heritage of the "ouViere." and yet seems by some mysterious means to have become waited across the broad bosom of the Atlantic. You feel an atmosphere of well being. of solid contentment, pros perity, and selfesteem about the com mon people in the States. This is typifed by these wellgowned, bright and pleasing young women who car ry out so large a part of the daily routine of Uncle Sam.
