R Restoration e Possible,

PARIS. Sept. %.

fARlS, sept. ZE'
Widespread rejoicing was caused in
Paris today by reports indicating that
the famous Cathedral at Rheims had
escaped irreparable destruction under
the German bombardment of the town
and can be restored, though seriously
damaged.
The magnificent windows are all
smashed. according to officers who ar
rived from the front. and ruin has been
spread in the interior by bursting shells,
but the walls stand unbroken. though
Scared in many places.
Among the superstitious hope of ulti-
mate French victory in the war is in
creased by the fact that the statue of
Joan of Arc, which stands before the
facade, escaped serious damage.
LONDON, Sept %.
That there is an intention on the part
Of the German military experts to en-
dcavor to raze the entire city of Rheims
is believed here. 1t Is claimed the Cen
eral Staff now realizes the great strategic
mistake made when the Germans with
drew from that city. and that they are
willing to go to any length to retake it.
In describing the conditions in Rheims,
the Daily Telegraph correspondent says
that there is hardly house in the neigh
borhood of the cathedral that escaped
damage. Continuing, he says:
The masonry of the cathedral Is
Clipped and many of the carved fig
ures and garEoyles have been broken
Off. In the doorway still stands the
crippled beggar-crippIed in lS7O-who
has remained at his post through a
rain of flying splinters and dust,
pebbles and glass. Fifty shells found
lodgment in the interior but the stone
work withstood the concussion of their
explosion.
The building can probably be restored
according to this correspondent, as the
shell fire seems no longer to be directed
toward 1t, but, of course, its priceless
decorations are ruined for all time.

When informed of the destruction OF
the Cathedral OF Eheims, Pope Benedict

The Pontin requested that Cardinal
Ferrata ask Cardinal Annette, Archbishop .
OF Paris, for full particulars. as tele-
grams for Rheims are not accepted.

The Kicker.

The kicker shows an energy that peo-
pie must admire.
Although his purpose is to thwart some
fellow-man's desire,
Each kick he makes, though it may hurt,
il it be straight and strong,
Will simply give an impetus to push
some one along.
Don't blame his trick.
Let him kick.
A man is kicked from paths obscure
and put upon display.
The kicker all unconsciously has helped
him on his way.
So don't be apprehensive when his ire
is tiercely loosed
The chances are each kick he lands will
prove to be boost.
Through thin and thick
Let him KICK.
If you should undertake to be a cruel
kicksome elf,
Do not wear spurs, because you might
sit down on them yourself.
Don't lose your temper and attempt a
deadly blow or thrust.
Remember. even kicking has it's limita-
tons just.
Don't heave a brick.
Simply kick.

The Carmau Trial.

The outcome of the Carman case in
Mineola. n. Y, is not surprising in
view OF the fact that the principal wit
ness for the prosecution. the servant
IN the Carman household, gave testi-
mony at the trial radically different
from her statements Immediately fol-
lowing the shooting. notwithstanding
this discrepancy. which, of course, ex-
posed her TO the sharpest fire of the
defense in cross-examination,s she main
tanned on the stand during the trial
an unwavering line of assertion which
directly implicated the defendant in
the killing of her husbands patient
Evidently ten of the twelve iury-
men had no confidence in her testimony
in view of the radical difference be-
tween her original and final stories
Upon her testimony the whole case
turned. and the issue was whether the
fncriminatins testimony of a domestic
servant who had been exposed to pos
sibly repressive influence at the out
set was believable in a wholly differ
ent version at the final stage. No con-
sideration of motive for such violent
change of testimony could affect her
repute with the jurors. In the circum-
stances the majority of them gave the
benefit of the doubt to the defendant,
as the law requires. 1t would seem to
be unlikely that another trial will be
had, unless new evidence is found. Mrs.
Carman stands virtually acquitted, not
withstanding the unwillingness Of two
jurors SO to declare her, and the crime
remains a mystery. perhaps never to be
solved.

Mr.. Gardner's Proposition.

In his latest statement on the sub
ject Of the present condition of our
military establishment Mr.. Gardner
goes into details which empha size the
Importance of his first statement. He
withholds nothing, he exaggerates
nothing. What he presents he has
gathered from official reports and from
conversations with those qualified by
training and experience and observa-
ton to speak. The story is at once
most surprising and most interesting
\ feature of the revelation is that
it conveys no news to the outside
official world. 1t is the business of
the great powers-most diligently at
tended toto keep informed about the
preparedness or unpreparedness of one
another for war; and We may be very
sure that our present unpreparedness
is known from China to Peru. and
has been digested by the military au-
thorities everywhere.

sideration in Congressman it is Mr..

A Long Man-Chase Ended.

\ man-chase lasting eleven years has
just been apparently ended by the ar
rest in Toronto of a famous stock
selling swindler. whose operations at
one time caused countrywide sensa-
ton. In May, 1903. this man. who had
been a minister and quack healer, and
had turned to selling fake mining stock
as a speedier means of getting rich,
fed from New York, where he had
amassed a fortune and left behind him
sorrowing investors who had paid, it
was estimated, at least 100000 into
his various treasures. From that
time he has been pursued. Once
he was actually caught in Philadelphia.
but he obtained bail and then jumped
his bond and vanished. He was later
overtaken in Richmond and managed
to slip through the fingers of his cap
tors. He was trailed all over the
England and other foreign countries.
Evidently he has been one Of the most
widely travelled Americans during these
past eleven years.
Now he has been caught in Canada
and extradition proceedings are to be
instituted for his return for trial. OF
course he viii resist, for IL ne is ever
brought to trial and convicted he will
probably get a sentence lasting to the
end of his days, for he is now sixty-six
years of age. The most interesting
fact about this fugitive fs that he has
been trailed during these eleven years
of unremitting pursuit by means of his
practices. He has never reformed, but
wherever he paused in his fight he
started in on the old swindling game.

but in practically every case he con-
trived to get out of town before his
pursuers could reach him.
The arm of the law is long and its
grip is unremitting. 1t is an axiom
that when a man is once wanted by
the police he is doomed to lead a mis-
cradle life. lodging. hiding, Disgusting
and never at ease. OF course there are
cases of permanent disappearance and
escape, and doubtless some of the most
wanted fugitives on the books of the
New York police department are living
within the shadow of the East river
bridges, but with the perfection of
processes of Identification and the de-
velopment of intercity and interna-
tional police exchanges escape becomes
constantly more difficult.
