SATISFACTION.

To occupy a place in the commun- ity, such as Nothnagles home fur nishing store does, is significant of the service it renders this commun ity. A pred dorninating percentage of home furnishing hereabouts comes from this store. The reason is simple. Nothnagles has always been a popu- lar priced house and yet has never allowed goodness to be omitted in order to save a few cents in price. A policy that brings customers back time and again as their needs require. MT Nothnagle- caters to particular people and thoroughly believes that ultimate success depends upon the customer being 1astingly satisfied. When one furnishes a, home, the de- sire should be to get as near perma- nency in furnishings possible. While the locality of a home might change from time to time. it's main associations should never. for they are the real elements of a home, and what a. large part of associations the furnishings of a home are, anyone can judge. Remember these points when price alone screams for atten- ton. Next time you are. lover town" visit Nothnagle's. It will repay you. Adv.

THE HoRART HousEL

The house in Fairfield in which Mr. Edward Hobart now lives is 100 years old today. In honor of the anniver- .sary MT. Hobart had a splendid din- uer prepared, and a number of the oldest inhabitants of the town dined with him this afternoon. Among the guests was the Rev. MT. Simpson, who gave a historical sketch of the early settlement of the town and the Hobart family, who were among it's first in- bftants. and several of whom were cIergymen. The settlement of Fair field was commenced in 1899, and it was burnt by the British, under Gen. erai 1,yron, in July 1779, because It's inhabitants had rebeIIed and seeded from the mother country

M. BOURGEOIS.

Leon Victor Auguste Bourgeois, the former prime minister of France who entered the coalition cabinet of Aris- tide Briand last October las a minister without portfolio, has had a long and distinguished career in the politics of the third republic. M. Bourgeois was born in Paris 65 years ago today, May 29. 1851, shortly before the second re- public gave way to the second enn- Hire. His public career began in 1871, when he became secretary general of the department of the Marne. Five years later he was appointed prefect of the Tarn, and in succeeding years he was secretary, general of the pre- lecture of the Seine, prefect of Haut- Garonne, and head of a department in the ministry of the interior. He be- came prefect of police in 1887, and the following year entered the Chamber of Deputies. He assumed his first cabinet portfolio in 1892, as minister of public instruction. later becoming
 minister of justice under M. Alexan- dre Ribot, since the outbreak of the war Frances able minister of finance. When the Ribot ministry fell in Oc- tober, 1895, President Faure commis- stoned M. Bourgeois to form a new ministry, and under his leadership France, had for the first time min istry composed entirely of radicals. His career prime minister was a stormy one, for he was subjected to constant and bitter journalistic at tacks. The Panama canal scandal was revived, and the newspaper La, France created sensation by pub fishing the names of more than a hun dred deputies who were alleged to have been inproperly influencedt by the canal company. The Algerian phosphate lands concessions were the basis of another scandal. In 1896 M. Bourgeois, after five months as premier, was succeeded by M. Moline, who gave to M. Bourgeois the port folio of minister of foreign affairs 'tninistre des affaires etrangeres,'' as the French call it. He was again min- ister of public instruction in 1898 and minister of foreign affairs in 1906. and president of the Chamber of Dep uties in 1902. A number of socioIlo- gicaI and economic works have issued from the pen of the French states men, including "The Philosophy of Solidarity s-The Society of Nations, g and "Democratic Education"

"A Silly F'alSehood."

Providence, R. l., March 22.-John R. Rathom, editor of The Providence Journal, said last night: "Mr. Loewys statement with regard to pr. Kienzers arrest is a willful and silly falsehood from beginning to end. Neither the editor of the Journal nor anybody in it's employ had any knowledge or inti- nation of the charge on which Dr. Kienzel was indicted until the facts were made pubic by arrest. pr. Kien- gle is an agent of the German pro- paganda who activities in this direc- ton were exposed by the Journal a year ago, but it has never employed detectives to shadow him or anybody else.''

cOntradicted the statements of Fay while the depositions taken in Eng land for Bronkhorst had been held count of the nonpayment of ftets, amounting to $89.
 Blames Providence Editor
 Mr. Loewy also ascribed the arrest of kienzle to the fact that he had a quarrel with John F.. Rathom, editor of the Providence Journal. This took place when Kienzle visited the works of the Brown & Sharpe Manufactur- ing Company at Providence, and since then, MT Loewy said, Kienzle had been trailed by detectives. As for MT. Rathom, he expressed the view that he was the most dangerous man in this country, although not of American birth"
 Mr. Knox declined to file affidavts to combat the motion because he h d no desire to reveal the strength of the governments evidence.
 In his affidavit Breltung told how he met Lieutenant Fay and how he bought a quantity of potassium chIorate. The affidavit denied posi- lively that Fay had ever suggested that he was connected with the Ger man Government, or that he was a spy. It did not occur to him, said Breitung, that Fay was enga ged in anything but a purely commercial business and was trying to ship goods to Germany by neutral vessels, through neutral countries.
