SICK MOTHER FOUND
STANDING WITH BABES

Duluth, MINI, December 2i.-Amid the
calls of a pack Of hungry wolves which
were answered by the cries of her A.
year-old daughter. Mrs. Walter Darrah,
who alleges she was deserted by her hus-
band, gave birth six days ago to a baby
in partially roofless shack near Pelican
Lake, this county. Today she and her
two infants were found surrounded by
the most appalling conditions.
For q week previous to the birth of the
child Mrs. Darrah had been critically ILL,
and only the services of the 4-year-old
child were extended to her during that
and the ensuing periods up to today
when hunters seeking wolf pelts came to
the shack containing the woman and her
children. s
The weather had been extremely cold.
There had been no food and no hre IN
the cabin for the past week and mother
and children were on the point OF star
walton when found.
The little girl had started, barefooted'

TERRY NJ GOVERN
IN POLICE COURT

New York, December -(Special.)--
Terry McGovern, the once famous fight
er, stood in line with the morning
watch" at the Gates Avenue police
court, Brooklyn, this morning, charged
With intoxication. Beside the little man
stood Policeman Andrew ]. Maroney,
towering head and shoulders above
him, one of his eyes displaying most
of the colors generally seen when the
aurora borealis flashes. Who inter-
Tered with his optic Maroney doesn't
know He couldn't swear Terry did
it, but Terry was somewhere in the
near vicinity when he got it.
Maroney was on patrol on Fulton
street this morning when the screams
ner where there was a gang of young
men, numbering some eight or ten,
which hangs about the neighborhood
and known as the white hand gang"
When the gang saw the blue and
lrass and the loosely swinging club
they scattered in all directions. But
one man landed on the blue coats near
est eye and he went down. He was UP
again in jiffy and picked his helmet
out of the gutter and then made for
the nearest person. 1t happened to be
Terry.
Terry said he was done with fight
ing and did not intend to raise any
more ructions. Magistrate Geismer,
who recalled that tomorrow is Christ
mas dag, said he would suspend SEN
tence this time.

Paris, December A.-fSrecial)--A the

is an important one. the president of the
chamber taking next rank to the president
of the senate, who comes Immediately
after the president of the republic.
II anything happened to the chief Of the
state the selection of his successor would
be from the heads OF the two chambers.

will seek reelection, although II was an
nounced some time ago that he would not
do SO.
1t appears. however. that an unexpected
candidate may turn up In the person of
NJ. Delcasse- This eminent statesman Is
a radical, and therefore a member of the
ministerial majority. Since he left tho
Quai d'Orsay he has only taken part in
important debates on two occasions and
on each occasion he overthrow a minister
The fact is, there Is no nonsense about
NJ. Delcasse. When he speaks 1t Is be-
cause he has something to say. The
for he carries authority with him. The
scandalous scenes in the chamber few
weeks ago would have been impossible If
NJ. Delcasse had filled the chair.
There is strong feeling among mem
bers that a change Is desirable and M
Delcasse would, they think, be an ideal
president.

and Wants to Build Finest Theatre

Objects
TO BUILD OPERA HOUSE
BY MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, December 24-(Special THE
En1peror's views on the liquor question.
which he changes once a week, may get
him into trouble. Teetotallers have been
rejoicing and schnapps- have
been much alarmed owing to the Kalser's
repeated warning to army and navy stu
dents against drink. People have been
asking anxiously whether the Kaiser is
turning blue ribbon In his old age.
Now, however, the semi-official press
has been instructed to state in reply to
these inquiries that the Kaiser demands
teetotalism as little as he approves of
alcoholism.
His majesty they say, far from
overlooking the good effects on a ship's
crew of stiff hot grog in cold and
stormy weather, does not suppose for one
moment that it is possible to secure total
abstinence in the army or the navy. He
objects to excessive drinking. particular
ly to compulsory drinking. but he has
no intention of combating excessive ill.,
diligence by excessive abstinence"
Once more the Kaiser steps to the fore
His love of opera has taken a practical
form. He is endeavoring to purchase a
site on which he intends to have erected
the finest opera house In the world. At
present, there is slight hitch, the city
council having refused to supply the
necessary cash for the scheme But tina
Kaiser is now negotiating for the money
from another source. The monster play-
house is TO be n most luxurious building
Eight leading architects are at work de-
vising the plans. Three thousand people
will be accommodated In the, building,
whilst the stage will be 100 feet in width
and 30 feet deep.
The Kaiser has well provided for HIM
self. He is to have erected a royal box
which will seat so people Behind this
there Is TO be retiring rooms for the use
Of the royal party The cost will be
enormous-so great, in fact. that the ac-
tual price has been withheld from the
public.

A squad of fishers of diamonds will be
organized by order of the Emperor and
will work in the German possessions of
East Africa. 1t seems that diamonds of
rare size have been discovered along the
coast and biologists declare that there
must be mines of precious stones in the
stratum in the bottom of the ocean. Now.
perhaps there will be many lives lost be-
fore the diving will come to anything.
for IT is said that fishing for diamonds
will be much more difficult than for
pearls.

The government is considering the ques-
ton of universal exhibition for 1920. An
inquiry of a detailed character is being
made in business circles in Paris to know
the general opinion. As far as I can
learn that opinion is adverse. 1t is held
that considerable confusion results from
these great agglomerations and that very
little permanent good is obtained There
Is feverish moment when trade feels
that benefit, but afterwards comes the
calm, and reaction undoes any good ef
feet The last great exhibition has left
dlsagreeable legacies in the shape of un-
level streets switch-backed by the heavy
traffic and in an undesirable foreign pop
uation attracted by the presence of vast
crowds. Nor, financially speaking. could
the monster fair of ten years ago be con-
sidered a success, though the Vile de
Paris did not absolutely lose money upon

full gain to any city and the confusion re-
sulting is a positive detrtment.

A meeting of the greatest Importance
culture has just been held in Paris.
Four thousand representatives of the
economic interests Of the country met TO
form themselves into an employers con-
federtion, with a programme clear and
precise: % The respect Of private prop
erty and the liberty of labor. 2) Opposi-
ton to every extension Of statism, to ev-
cry new monopoly, to every ''socializa-
ton" ca The rejection of any proposed
tax of ain inquisitorial or conhscatory
character. Twenty-seven great organiza-
tons throughout France have adhered
to this new confederation. They repre-
sent 100000 employers and 100000 rural
propretors giving work to about 1000 900
men.
From this it can be seen it is fomida-
Bile one and is only just beginning. II
will be futile for the deputies to resist the
pressure that will be put upon them. The
situation is too desperate to allow CT
half measures: as one speaker pointed
out. the revolutionaries no longer con-
fine their action to workmen. but are
penetrating the country districts preach
ing the war of classes, organizing strikes,
and melting to acts of intimidation and
violence
The two camps are arranging them
selves in order of battle. 1t is confedera-
ton against confederation. The collision
win mean national upheaval. and the
result of that no one can foresee.

A circular has been sent by the min
lister Of justice to the assize court Judges
in which he exhorts thep to make more
moderate use of their right to question
rhe prisoner. 1t may be remembered that
at some celebrated recent trials, among
others that of Madame Steinheil, surprise
was expressed at the manner IN which,
without In the least rejecting on the i'm
partially of the judge, the interrogatory
of the prisoner. as 1t is called, was turned
into a kind of torture of the accused
The minister of Justice says that there
is no doubt whatever of the honesty Of
purpose of the presidents of the assize
courts Nevertheless, as too ample de-
velopment of the charges contained in the
indictment may result in prejudging a
case before the witnesses have been
heard he advises the judges to be very
reserved in the use Of their privileges. and
to simplify the questioning as much as
possible. If the minister's prescription Is
followed, 1t may considerably change the
conduct of trial In France.

Captain Meynier, the murderer or the
Baroness olivier, would. we are told. be
still at large but for his uncomfortable
folly in going to the ministry of marine.
A senator in fact, was about to inter-
pellate government on the subject. He
could not understand the Indifference
and the 'incompetency' OF the police.
The truth is, the Paris police conducted
the affair splendidly. They cut off all
communications, prevented the criminal
from reaching the ports and reduced him
to famine. His capture became inevitable
Compared with the brilliant figure of a
year or two ago, a more abject and de-
plorable picture there never was.
The captain. not being on the active
list, the affair will not be tried by court
martial but at the asszes before a jury.
A certain amount of interest is aroused
at the thought that in a short while q
French officer will be solemnly degraded,
exactly with the same formalities as the
unfortunate Capt. Alfred Dreyfus. Mey-
nier belongs to the artillery and the crime
having taken place In Paris. the degra-
dation ceremony should also take place in

the knowledge that n is quite in the

ing fur with chiffon and lace is O very
pretty one, and for evening or early
winter wear it Is much used. The chif-
fon figures chiefly in scarfs or under
sleeves and vests in short coats. In the
latter the fur part resembles a close
fitting stole, and the chiffon softly
frilled or plated transforms 1t into a
coat. Seal, sable, mink, lynx, fox and
black marten are the favorite furs,
while for smart occasions broadtail and
ermine are essential. Chfnchilla has
dropped in favor for the time being, Its
place having been usurped by the eff
fective Australian opossun. Sable has
always been considered a very extrava-
CANT fur and beyond the reach of the
average pocketbook. With the present
