THE TERRoR's CHRISTMAS.
Turkeys Were $17 Esaeh During the
Siege Of Paris.

uTkeys were SIf Eeach During the
Siege Of Paris.
When The Christmas day OF 1870
dawned upon Paris, the city had been
In the iron grip Of the German invest
ment for about three months. The
winter was a bitterly cold one, the
thermometer registering 10 degrees, be-
low the freezing point on Christmas
morning. The Seine was frozen over.
The poor's daily rations were a few
| ounces OF horsefiesh and a piece Of re-
pulsive looking black bread,
BY Dec. rs food prices had reached
their highest point since the beginning
of the siege. On Nov. 10 a pound OF
butter fetched $14, and a rabbit S3.5O.
BY Dec. 10 rabbits had risen TO IS,
box OF sardines brought $3.50 and
eggs were rs cents apiece. For ones
Christmas dinner one could buy
goose for $40 or turkey for ST..
Pigeons were SO each. and small
fowl could be obtained for IS. Ham
was $3.50 a pound. AS for vegetables,
carrots and turnips were cents each,
and a bushel OF potatoes cost 1926.
There was hardly any milk in Paris,
and the little there was had to be
preserved for the sick and wounded.
However, there were oceans OF wine,
and the wineshops did a roaring trade.
For some time before Christmas the
starving people had been feeding on
cats, rats and dogs until by Dec. Is
dish OF cats flesh was hardly OBJ
tainable. Dog was so cents a pound,
and fine rats fetched ID cents each.
food. Poor Azor!" said a humorous
citizen as he finished a stew made from
his favorite dog How he would have
enjoyed these bones!"
With true Partisan light heartedness
the citizens tried to make the best OF
things, and the cafes and restaurants
wore almost their normal aspect. At
half past 10, however, an order Of Tro-
chu closed every shop and cafe, and by
IL o'clock Paris had gone to he'd.
The midnight mass OF Christmas eve
was celebrated as usual in the churches
which were crowded with praying,
weeping women. Newspapers appeared
as usual, some Of them containing
glowing accounts OF perfectly imagin-
airy French successes. The satiricaI
sheets were even more bitter and VEN
omous than at other times and pub
lished scathing caricatures. Some
showed the fallen emperor. Napoleon
III, as a shoeblack at King williams
boots or as a beggar with his pockets
turned inside out, or as a traitor hand
ing over France to murderers, or as a
thief making off with millions of the
nations money. Others depicted Bis
marck's gold and Trochu handing over
the keys Of Paris to a Prussian I'm ex-
change for a bag Of coin. In all the
idea Of Parisians that France had been
betrayed by those who ought to have
protected her was prevalent.
So at this season Of peace and good
will suffering Paris was nearly at her
last gasp. Owing to the tenacity of
her rulers and citizens however. her
agony was to be prolonged for some
weeks longer, as 1t was not until Feb
ruary that the negotiations for a ca
pitulaCion began.

Congress and the Sugar Trusts"

New York Commercial: II what

poets and what Wall street especially
is looking for actually comes about.
congress will promptly order an in
yestigation OF the most searching sort
into all the facts connected with the
sugar scandals" so called, that are
just now stirring up importers, federal
officials, politicians and the general
public and are bringing out criminal
tions and determinations, avowals, dis
Chalmers, details and all sorts OF
charges and countercharges on every
hand. The possible complications that
might arise from such an inquiry
cannot be measured in advance--it
can only be imagined; for the dis

so numerous and widespread and far
reaching that political and business
interests as yet undreamed Of might
easily be involved in the mess" al
