Paris, Sept. ia police commissary

he finds this a very handy position. In
the evening, having written his corre-
spondence, he drops il in a bundle down

police station. who posts 1t next door.
Last night the police cCmmissary whistled
as usual. No answer came from the con-
stable on duty. The latter was a new
man, who had not been informed of the
customary arrangement. His chief whis-
tied again. and still got no answer.
AS the police Commissary was sitting
in pajamas he had no mind to go down
stars. He took a hunting horn and blew
a strong blast. This time the constable
did look up. The bundle OF letters was
dropped down and the police official went
to bed. The next day, on going over the
reports OF the night before, he found one

wrecked during a violent storm and only
one of the crew was saved.
Repeated attempts have been made to
find the precious metal, notably in 1S00-01

little over $4,000 worth has already
been recovered.
Early this year the steam dredger
Lyons was chartered for a further
search. She is fitted with powerful sue

1000 tons of sand an hour, and carries

to secure what has baffied SO many

out in the Chamber of Deputies that no

was to lessen the danger in that respect
that H. HomoIle, the director. and other
high officials received government orders

Meanwhile, the heating OF the Louvre

Berlin, Sept. 16-One of the most re-

increasing interest which clergymen Of

fewer than forty-four pastors and priests

Hitherto, the representation OF the ac-

There has been considerable discussion
recently as to the propriety OF active
Clergymen participating in parliamentary
work II has been argued that by doing
so they must neglect their spiritual
labors, that political partisanship may
influence them against certain members
of their focks, and. further, that plat

These arguments have called forth the
reply that members of other hard-work-
ing professions find time for politics,
that partisanship does not affect private
character or the functions of public Of
flee. and that the Clergymans influence
in electioneering work can only tend to
its Improvement.
The clergy also make the points that.
in view of the agitation for separation
of church and state. they have a right
to be represented in parliament, and they
also suggest that their close knowledge
of the peoples life may be Of consider

Some time ago experiments were

showed that they were not quite so
hard when they had grown among
their natural surroundings.
The wild" micrObe is not always
easy to obtain, but DR.. Houston was
able for the purpose of his experiment
to take his supply from person who
had suffered from typhoid fever, and
infected no fewer than forty persons.
The bacilli perished very rapidly
when placed in samples of raw Thames
water. but DR.. Houston regarded the
result, although satisfactory, as a neg
ative one, and decided upon a more
positive test.
Accordingly he drank half a pint of
the infected water. This had no i'll

Paris, Sept. 16-Edna Goodrich, fourth
ex-wife OF Nat Goodwin, has purchased
a piece of property in Paris and will un-
dertake the social conquest of that fash
ionable part of the city as soon as her
town house is in order.
The acquired property is on famous
Avenue Raphael, in the fashionable Six
teenth atondissement or ward. 1t is a
district favored by the more wealthy
Americans here. Frank l. Gardner g
mansion stands in a five-acre lawn at
No. 16, and George Kessler's royal pal
ace, with its golden initials on the outer
gate, is higher up. Miss Goodrich's man.
sion will be close to that of Baron
Raymond de Forest.
1t is said she will not attempt the
conquest of Paris as divOrcee, although
she is well chaperoned by her mother,
but that she is to marry a wealthy
English nobleman named Baron Keane,
who is the shooting companion Of the
ex-King of Portugal, and who like Miss
Goodrich, is divorced. Her friends look
upon this move as an adieu to the foot
lights. Miss Goodrich is now at Biar-
ritz, but her mother, who is stopping at
the Hotel de Crillen, has said that Miss
Goodrich has no intention of returning
to America or to get out an injunction
against Nat Goodwin to prevent him
from writing about her as he wrote about
