COMPLIMENT THAT WAS REAL
Tribute Paid BY Old Nurse Of John
Sharp Williams Should Have
Pleased Bride.

Senator Kern of Indiana and John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi are not
only fellow Democrats, but very good
friends and frequently pelt each other
good naturally.
Upon one occasion, when Mrs. Kern
was on a visit to the capitol, Senator
Williams was introduced to her. After
the usual exchange of greetings the
gentleman from Mississippi looked
gravely at Mrs. Kern and, with the ex-
preston of a judge who had a sym
pathetic comprehension of all things
pertaining to prisoners at bar, in
CURED in a judicial voice to match,
Madam, did you marry this man of
your W free will?"
Upon proper assurance that this was
the case, he remarked, gallantly: Il
think John has done what an old
darky on the home place said ! done
when / brought my wife back home a
bride.
The old nurse met us at the gate,
and when told her, This is your Miss
Betty, now-my Wife the old darby
looked Miss Betty over very admiring-
ly. Then she turned her shining black
face to me and exclaimed -'Massa John
Sha'p, Use been heah TO three genera
tons o. brides, but yoh, sub, yoh has

War and Eonthall-

Yale's bowl, the fell cirque" or
stadium in which the great football
battle with Harvard will be played
this fall, will be the objective of %
trainloads from New York alone ON
the day of the game. The whole
structure will seat $1,000 people, and
1t is announced that every seat in
the bowl is a good seat"-that is, it
has an unobstructed view of the play
ing field. Despite Cleveland H. Dodge's
protest against holding these annual
mimic battles" during wartime, the
Yale Alumni Weekly says they should
go on. If the contest in Europe has
any direct reaction on American col
lege football it would seem to lie in
the direction of eliminating the brutal
factors of the game.

Muscovites Are Elnhters.

Scratch a Russian and you find a
tartar has proved a fatal truism to
almost every enemy Of the Muscovite,
The Russian soldier is the scion Of
the Scythian. He is, therefore, a
fighter Of deadly surprises and uncer-
tainties. His next move may not be
predicted on any known or limited
method of warfare. He is apt to de-
velop a fighting science of his own
in a five minute emergency. Depend
upon the Russian battler to behave
well. His manner and method Of
proving his mettle are not practicable.

London. June 1i.--Premier Asquith
announced i'm the House Of Commons
to-day his intention Of introducing the
promised bill TO amend the Irish Home
Rule bill before any further progress
is made by the House of Lords with the
second reading Of the main measure.
Tho Cnionists have thus won the day
with their insistent demand that he
should take this action.
The Lords will he entirely free to
change the amending bill as they think
proper. and IL is generally assumed that
they will insert provisions for the un-
conditional exclusion of Ulster from the
operation Of the Irish Home Rule bill
and also for the protection of the
Protestant minority in the rest Of Ire
land.
The Unionists in this way viii be
enabled to test how far the government
and Irish Nationalists are prepared to
20 in the direction of a compromise.
The new bill is not Ill ely TO ne
brought into the House Of Lords before
the week beginning June 81.

FRENCH FINANCIAL
CRISIS NEAR HEAD
TO-day's Vote Awaited with the
Greatest Anxiety-NeW Minis
try's Fate in Balance.

Paris, June 1.-THE political crisis in
France, which. in the opinion OF ex-
Premier Clemenceau is the gravest since
the Revolution. will depend in a measure
on the vote to be taken in the Chamber
Of Deputies tomorrow on the ministerial
declaration. The debate accordingly Is
awaited with the greatest anxiety by all
sections Of the country.
The new ministry formed by Senator
Alexandra Felix Ribot theoretically is de-
feated in advance by one vote. as the
Radicals and Socialist combined command
Jo1 votes But il was remarked that many
Radicals were absent from the meeting
OF the party which declared war against
Premier Ribot, and 1t is thought that
certain number may abstain from voting
and thus enable the Cabinet to survive
at least the first battle.
Nevertheless the greatest uneasiness
and uncertainty are felt, especially In ousi-
ness circles, over the possible outcome
The defeat OF NJ. Ribot wound have far
reaching consequences in financial centres.
A large loan is urgent, indeed indispen-
sable, and in the event OF the new Min
istry being beaten it would have to be
postponed. aggravating the financial
crisis.
IL is predicted by eminent authorities
that any loan issued under the auspices
OF a Cabinet composed of Radicals ana
Socialists would be doomed to certain
failure. Any such failure would sound
the death knel Of the financial power oil
France.
The Cabinet at a meeting this evening
discussed the terms OF to-morrow's dec
laration Of policy. 1t will clearly affrm
the determination to govern only with
Republican majority. and If this is not
accorded, the Ministry will Immediately
resign.
A bill for the issue Of loan or
800 900. 900 francs $3.50 Co., 600 will be in
troduced directly the debate on the
declaration is concluded. To assure re-
sources to pay the interest on this loan,
the Ministry will ask the Senate to In

something. so convincing about 1t that
company officials did prepare an ad-
vertisement and take it to one Of the
papers. 1t was so worded, however
that the publication would not accept
it, and the matter was thereupon
dropped
A week later another letter came. 1t
was written in the same hand and re-
ferred to the company's ignoring the
previous demand. This second letter in
structed the company to send one Of its
agents on a certain night to Wee
hawken, there to take the Buffalonian
express. The agent was to stand on
the rear platform. holding in his hand
a package containing $4,000. When
he saw a purple light appear beside the
track he was to throw the money back
between the rails and at once enter the
car.
This letter likewise was ignored.
Company sleuths worked on the case.
but no serious attention was paid to
the matter until six days ago, when
the third letter came. The writer an
nounced that this would be the last
warning he would give, and that the
destruction of a steamship, perhaps
with great loss Of life, would imn1 e-
diately follow unless the $4,000 we're
paid.
More explicit commands were given.
They directed that at $50 yesterday,
afternoon an agent of the Cunard CONF
pany should go to City Hall Park, take
a position beside the Nathan Hale
statue and place one hand on the
pedestal After the hand had remained
in that position for three minutes the
agent was to raise his hat replace 1t
and return to the Cunard offices.
Detective Rastis, of the Cunard COM
pany, PLAYED the part OF the agent. He
went to City Hall Park yesterday. per-
formed the required acts and walked
away. This was the signal that the
other instructions regarding the Wee
hawken train would be carried out that
