FRENCH GUILLoTINE AT WORK
Crowds of Morbid People See De-
capitation of Criminals.

CAPPENTRAS, France, JANUARY 81
The second execution in France under the
revival of the law of capital punishment
took place here yesterday and, although
the scenes accompanying it were less re-
grettable than those attending the quad
ripple execution at Bethune, January IL,
nevertheless they were distinctly unpleas-
ant and they undoubtedly will hasten par
liamentary action toward making future
executions private.
The guillotine was erected on a public
square alongside the prison. The locality
was cordoned with soldiers. who effectu-
ally blocked all the streets but an i'm
patient crowd which had assembled during
the night demanded that it be given a
chance 10 witness the decapitation. Some
OF the people climbed up ladders from
which they kept the others informed of
the details of the proceedings, while the
windows of the houses overlooking the
square were damned with people
The condemned, man named Remy
Danvers, who had cruelty shot an aged
farmer and his wife, was first made
aware of his fate by the yells of the
crowd that surrounded the prison. lie
came out of the prison yard with Iivid
face and staring eyes and it was Ieces-
sary to make use of force to get him in
the guillotine and his head in position
for the fall of the blade.

From the Boston Transcript
That the more wife keeps her hus-
band in hot water the less tender he he
comes.
That the young woman with teeth like
pearls is rarely as dumb as an oyster.
That no man is really as clever as his
fiancee thinks he is.
That while a woman of thirty will claim
she is not over twenty-siX. a woman of
sixty will say she is seventy-five
That the way some wives break their
husbands iron will is by rusting it out
with eye water.
That while matrimony was once looked
upon as life journey, it now proves too
often only an excursion trip.
That while Love may laughS at lock
smiths. the milliner and the dressmaker
make him feel mighty serious.

Bureau May Be Eliminated.

LAS soon as the bureau of yards and
docks has completed the erection of the
power houses. as authorized by law. they
viii be turned over to the manufacturing
departments of the various yards for OPP
Grafton. The other duties of the bureau
of yards and docks will be absorbed at
the yards and stations by the comman-
dants thereof and the civil engineers at
tached to the commandant's office, under
his authority, and by the chief of the bu-
reau. and the necessary clerks attached to
the SecretaryS office.
This can be put into practical effect
by the orders of the Secretary giving the
necessary directions to the commandments
but the eventual elimination of this bu-
reau, while desirable, must necessarily De
deferred until the various public works
authorized by Congress under the super
vision Of the bureau of yards and docks
by name. of which the consolidation of
power plants is the most important, are
completed.
The members of the general board will
be detailed, when practicable. for period
of four years, one-fourth to retire annu-
ally, and not be reappointed except in
very exceptional cases. There will be
assigned to the general board such Junior
ofhcers on duty herewith as may seem
desirable.
After this entire plan has been tried
long enough to make patent its advan-
tages or defects the latter can be cor
rected and the organization made perma-
nent by statute law.
The recent detail Of the chief con-
structor as acting chief of the bureau of
steam engineering is a phrely tentative
step, preparatory to the transfer of the
construction duties of the bureau of steam
engineering to the bureau of construc-
ton, and made necessary by the absence

recommended for chief o. = ti~G chief of
