Paselpos Death Was
Accident, Say Police

Believing States Paselpos. 70 years
old. was accidentally killed when the
revolver which he always carried In
his inside coat pocket slipped out and
was discharged when it struck the
floor. the police are not contemplate
ing making any arrests at 20 Drouve
street. #f
The medical examiner and the po-
lice are inclined to believe the death
of Paselpos to have been due to ac-
cident, after an investigation. He
entered his home last night with Geo.
Lazopulos, machintst and friend
from Chicopee Falls, Mass. The
latter states that Paselpos walked in
to his room, 10 feet ahead of Lazopu-
los, who followed him.
Suddenly shot was heard and La
zopulos states he found Paselpos on
the floor Of the room, the gun lying
near him His story has been ac-
cepted as true.

THE DUO DE LUXEMBOURG

Among the great generals of
Farnce, not many hold higher rank
than Francois Henri de Montmoren-
cy-Boutteville. marshal Of France and
Duke Of Luxembourg. 1t was 222
years ago to-day that the great mar
eschal died at Versailles, at the age Of
81, leaving him as a memorial the
emblazoned record of his many VIC
tories in the Church of Notrie Dame
The Duke Of Luxembourg was large
" responsible for all the .glor1es OF
the reign of Louis XIV, and with his
death the prosperity of that monarch
began to decline.
Practically everyone of the many
campaigns in which this able general
engaged was marked by some brill
liant victory. His father was iexecut-
ed, six months before the future
marshaps BIRTH, for killing another
nobleman in a duel. He was reared
by his aunt, the Princess de Conte,
and became the comrade, and even
tually the successor, Of the great
Condo.
In81672 Luxembourg was dispatch
ed against the Dutch, and defeated
the Prince of Orange, whom he was
destined to beat again and again. He
then ravaged Holland, and made his
retreat from Utrecht with only 2O,-'
600 men in the face of 10000 re-
treat that is still celebrated in mill
tary annals, and to which the sue
cessful retreat of the French and
British in the early days Sof the pres
ent war has been compared. In 1878,
having been made a marshal. Luxem-
bourg again defeated the Prince of
Orange, and two years later he over
whelmed the army Of the Prince Of
Waldeck, taking $4,000 men and 40
cannon. William III. of England was
his next Victim, and he twice routed
the army of that monarch. Then he
met his old adversary, the Prince of
Orange and took rs cannon and so
flags Few generals in history have
been so uniformly successful over so
long a period as the Duke of Luxem-
bourg, and his name will be honor
ed as long as men esteem military
ability of a high order.

TRAMPLING THE CORPSE

AS nation, Poland is. dead; and
now those responsible for the taking
off Of the once proud kingdom are
trampling the corpse. A people cloth
ed in rags, facing starvation, despoil-
ed of their homes, reduced not to beg
gary, but to a position where even
the degradation of begging is impos-
sib1e because there is no one from
whom to beg, such are the unhappy
Poles, according to Americans who
have visited the country. At least
half Of Poland's: population, according
to the most reliable estimates, are alb
solutely destitute. and the remainder
cling to a semblance of independence
only by the most desperate exped-
tents. The Jews of Poland are said
to be even worse off than their neigh
bors, since practically all OF the in
dustries in which the Hebrew popula-
ton was engaged have been shut
down since the German occupation
The sole diet OF these unfortunates
is a soup made Of barley and water
which is doled out to them in small
quantities at the soup Kitchens estab-
lished by various Polish relief agen-
cies. Absolutely nothing nutritious
enters into the composition OF this
sup save pdIley. 1n0r6 Is not even
the faintest suggestion Of meat or of
vegetables. Any person DESTROYS of
realizing the condition Of the Poles
might make, the experiment of SUBJ
sisting upon barley soup for a few
days.
The promises, of a restoration of
the Polish kingdom, independents
th-a-string-to-it, has aroused alb
SOlutely nOtkinP reSanhIif,er opfb,1
siasrn among the Poles. Even in
their present unhappy and miserable
Fcondition the hope of real independ-
ence would doubtless fire them with
wild zeal. AS for such lures as have
been held forth to win their al
legiance they have not even scorn-
nothing but a dull apathy and indif-
ference, the product of starvation and

Il Couldn't Sleep
Says Mamie Lucha
Could Only Rest BY Lying Face
Down and Then Only For
Little While
TANLAo HELPED HER QUICKLY

II don't know what you call the
trouble l had" says Mamie Lucha,
of Steelton, Pa, but do know that
was miserable and that of all the
medicines I tried, Tanlac was the
only one that did me any lasting
good.
Il couldn't sleep at all, no matter
how tired 1 was at the end of the
day, and to get any rest at all l had
to lie on my face. For if I tried
to go to sleep on my back or side
l would all choke up until 1 couldn't
seem to get my breath. 1 was con-
stipated, too, and that made me feel
worse.
But I began to rest better after
the first few doses of Tanlac, for it
seemed to tone up and invigorate
my whole system and now 1 can go
to bed at night and sleep soundly
until morning, waking up feeling
fresh as a daisy"
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
