THE "sYNDICALIsT" MOVE
MENT.

Premier Olenencesu has apparently
taken the Bit in his teeth aud has de-
cidei to test the power Of the French
government to pu! down the present
"syudicalist" move, so far as 1t affects
state employees, even II this involves the
precipitation of the threatened genersl
strike. Dangerous signs are manifest
throughout the country, and foreign IS
we'll as French observers are OF The
opinion that the belated determination
OF the government TO viDdicate It's au'
thority comes none too soon.
The recent gigantic strides OF "syndi-
calism" and its arrogant attitude unoer
the leadership Of the general federation
of labor, with which the ysrious classes
Of states employees now insists upon
affiliatipg, meuaciDg general strike
"ior the emancipation of the prolets-
rist," have created something mp
proschings public panic. Judging by
the tone of the press and resolutions
recently voted by provincial couucils,
the property interests of the country will
unitedly support any measures the gov
eminent may take, no matter how
rigorous, which Sould end the intolerable
agitation.
The attitude Of the CombeS aud other
previous radical governments, which en-
coursged state servants to form unions,
even in the navy yards, and the records
of NM. Bsrthou and Viviani, respective
ly ministers Of public works and labor,
have heretofore embarrassed NJ. Clemen'
cesu, but since the visit Of King Ed
ward, who, it is understood, let The
premier see the anxiety existing abroad
that France was drifting into condition
approaching anarchy, M. Clemencesu
resolved to act.

In the seventeenth century ladies
wore masks in public, and great was
the variety of face screens that were
seen. Ladies who had ''coralne' lips
preferred short masks. as was natural
For others who wished to hide the
lower part Of the face the mask was
completed by a chin piece Of linen,
which afteTward passed under the
chin and over the ears. In 1852 new
mask called the mimi, from the Ital-
ian mimics, was all the rage and
threatened to usurp the place Of the
black one. IL was even the cause Of
violent quarrels between the ladies
who held TO the latter and those who
preferred the latest novelty. Some
years later ii became the fashion to
trim the upper part Of the mask with
a ruche Of lace. 10 lengthen it with a
beard Of the same material and even
TO cover 1t more or less with lace to
the borders Of the eyeholes. Young
ladies Of this period. however, fire.
quently conteDted themselves with Gov
erlng the face simply with a piece Of
black Grape for coquetry's sake and 10
appear the fairer.

A young fellow In Havana who oc'
cupied the position Of reporter fell
I'm love with a girl, the daughter of a
wealthy planter. He applied to her
father In the orthodox way for bis
consent 10 the marriage.
"PresumptuOus"' said the father,
with eyes flashing. You. a poverty
stricken journalist, and my daughter
Sir. get out Of my presence"
The journalist was very angry. IL
brought forth heated declaration of
pride:
your daughter is too good for me,
you say? ! will marry a princess be
fore | die" And. with head erect, be
left the irate father.
The journalist went 10 Spain. He
wrote poems. The poems were read
by the Princess Josephine. There was
a meeting. The two fell in love with
each other 1t Is said the journalist
was so sincere in his affection that
probably be forgot his declaration TO
the Havana planter. They were both
royalty happy, elOped, married In Val

by Queen Isabella. the one time jour

BODY OF SUICIDE RECOVERED YES
TERDAY.

The towboat Sam Brown, part of
the coal feet which passed here
Thursday, was delayed for several
hours on account of tragedy enact
ed here. Just as the boat passed
under the Ohio river bridge John
Gaybeak, a boatman, leaped over
board and drifted under one of the
barges and drowned.
Graybeak's body was found near
-Glenwood yesterday.
When the man leaped from the
deck of the boat a stop was made
and several hours were spent in try
ing 10 recover the body of the drown
ed man. All efforts were fruitless,
however, and the boat proceeded in
the wake of the remainder of the
feet.
Other members of the crew stated
that Graybeak had been drinking
heavily. He had made two otherat-
tempts to drown himself on the trip,
it is said, but had been recovered by
the bOatmen. This time he passed
under one of the barges almost i'm
mediately after striking the water
and rescue was impossible.
The unfortunate mans home was
at Pittsburg, and the body will prob
ably be sent there.

MUST SERVE OUT
PRISON TERM
GOVERNOR REFUSES TO EXTEND EX-
ECUTIVE CtEMENCY IN CASE OF
MASON COUNTY BOY.

Governor Glasscock, onthe recon-
mendation of Pardon Attorney
Waugh refuses to interfere with the
sentence of the Circuit Court of Ma
son county which gave Grover Gre
means, a mere boy, FIVE years-in- the
penitentiary upon his conviction of
voluntary manslaughter.
On the Goth of March, 1905, Gro
yer Cremeans, a boy of sixteen years
was tried for the murder of John
Smith, in Harmon district, Mason
county, and was convicted of,second
degree murder. He was sentenced
to sixteen years in prison and the
case was appealed to Supreme Court
of Appeals, where error was found in
the lower court and the case remand
ed.
At the September term of court in
1907, cremeans was again placed on
trial and this time found guilty of
voluntary manslaughter. Creameans
then fled his petition asking that the
forty months he served in the Mason
county Jail be deducted from his SEN
tence.
The case had the full and earnest
consideration of the pardon attorney.
The relatives of the boy made pa
thetic appeals for clemency and the
trial Judge and the Prosecuting At
torney advised against the extension
of the clemency. The crime of which
he was convicted was very serious
and it wasSbelieved that the youth of
the defendant was taken into consid-
Grafton by the jury which found him
guilty.

APPEALS TO ALL CLASSES.

Searching the realm of fiction for
material for great play, Mrs. South
worth's The Hidden Hand, . ap-
pears to many to offer more fine OPP
portunities than any other story. It
appealed so strongly to one of the
leading modern actors, Eugene
Moore, that he made new drama
tization. This new drama of ''The
Hidden Hand was Immediately pro-
duced by Fred G. Conrad, owner of
numerous successful attractions, and
will be seen at Hoofrs Opera House,
Nov. 9th.
With the madcap capitola and the
arch=villian of stage villains, Black
Donald, as the leading strong dram
atic characters Mr.. Moore evident
ly has constructed a drama chock
full of American life. Comedy,
pathos and romance are constant
rivals for the interestof the audience.
