PRESIDENT OF
FRANCE MUST
POSSESS WIFE
Bars a Bachelor
From Highest Honor in
Gift of Republic.
NEW LEADER PRAISED

PARIS, April 9.-French tradition de-
crees that the chief of the republic must
have a wife.
That is why the doors of the Elysee
are resolutely shut to bachelors and
widowers.
Counting Nine. DeschaneI. there have
been ten lady presidents, as unlike one
another as each president differed from
his predecessor.
The public voice, always very lOund
and sharp in France, accords to Nine.
Theirs, the first in date, the reputa-
ton Of private economy carried to the
point Of public measures.
Nine MacmahOn, a grande dame, was
her husbands veritable counsellor.
Her charity was proverbiaL
She even installed a workroom in the
pailais, where she ana her friends made
10y clothes for the poor.
Nuring the soJourn of Nine. Grevy at
the Eylsee there were no sumptuous
fetes, no gala dinners.
She was very simple woman, minute
" observing the rules Of neutrality, and,
in a narrow way, very good and devoted.
NINE CARNST OF
OPPOSITE TYPE.
Nine. Carnot. her successor, delighted
In luxurious displays most tastefully
carried out, IN flashing contrast TO the
strictly necessary motto Of Nine.
GrevY
Her idea was that the emoluments of
the presidency ought to be given back
to France, so she kept open house, and
her gracious personality did much to
counteract the impression Of austerity
which her husband gave.
Nine. Casimir- Perier was a short and
tragic bird of passage.
She conceived gorgeous plans that
events did not permit her to realize.
France long kept the souvenir Of this
woman as elegant as she was dis
dnguished.

POWER OFF FOR HOURS;
NEWSPAPERS DELAYED
Result of Short Circuit in Subway
Due to Water in Man
holes.

Due to the accmulation of water in
conduits, the business section of Whining
ton was denied electric power Tor several
hours this morning.
Trouble, of which there was hlnt be-
tween 10 and ii o'clock last night. when
the power was off for a quarter Of an
hour developed at daylight today. An
investigation revealed the fact that water
in the conduits had caused short circuit
which had put out of commission the
companys 220 volt machine. Men start
ed a search for the trouble, but did not
locate it until about 10-30, when repairs
were made and the service was restored.
Realizing the predicament the news
papers were in, being unable to operate
their type machines without power, the
Traction Co made special effort TO pro-
vide them with power temporarily until
the original trouble could be located and
overcome. In order to do this il was neces-
sary to string cables from the Fifth street
plant To the newspaper Offices, which was
done This enabled Every Evening to start
operations about 1890. However, as the
starting time is o. clock, it was impossible
to overcome the handicap, with the result
that much advertising matter and news
intended for today had to be omitted.

sumo his work for some time, however.
Hunter is a special officer of the Baltimore

to place Yarber under arrest.
No further information has been re-
ceiyed from Ohio as to whether or not the
Negro held at that place is Yarber, al
though the local police officers Of the Balti-
more & Ohio are inclined to think thate
the man held is the man wanted for the
shooting. A more positive Identification
from several photographs is desired before
the man viii be brought to this State.
As soon as definite information is learn
ed the local police viii be notified by the
Baltimore q Ohio authorities. Hunter
says that the mustaches of the photo
graphed man and Yarber are similar and
not different as has been reported. The

SOME VALUABLES TAKEN

Another robbery took place in The Ninth
ward last night, when the home Of Alfred
A. Bradford, All West Twenty
street was entered and a valuable pearl
watch, Swiss movement, belonging to
Miss Barbara bradford, a daughter, was
stolen. a parrot Is believed To have been
responsible for the fact that more was not
taken, rs there were two other pocket
books downstairs. that evidently were
not touched, as one contained consider
able money, and it did not appear TO have
Mrs. Bradford sid that during the
night she heard the parrot, which was in
the kitchen, talking considerably, but
AS the parrot was hurt yesterday, she
paid no attention to IT, This morning
when she came downstairs the parrot
caused considerable cornotion, as If wish
ing To tell her what had happened during
the night. The bird likewise wanted 10
inform the police officers about the affair
as IL talked constantly while they we're
investigating the robbery this morning.
The Bradford family, with the excep-
ton OF Mr. Bradford, retired last night,
when the electric current failed, about
1890 o. clock. MIR Bradford did not re-
tire until after midnight. The parrot had
been out Of the cage, but was placed back
in the cage, which was then removed 70 the
kitchen.
When Mr. Bradford came downstairs
this morning about s O'Clock, he dis
covered the dinIngroom window wide open,
and the buffet drawers out and ransacked.
A rocking chair that had been on the back
porch had been placed beneath the WIN
dow in order to gain entrance. A maya
hot haI ha sill
was found IN the chair Footprints were
found about the yard, leading up IN the
window. From Indications the act was
committed by more than one person.
The daughters pocketbook was on
the diningroorn table. TIE watch Was re-
moved from 1T and the pocketbook was
left on the table. There was another pock-
etbook on the table m the reception hall
and another pocketbook on the piano IN
the livingroorn. It n believed the thieves
were moving to the front of the house
when the parrot frightened them, by its
deep cultural sounds, which resemble the
voice of human beng.
The n.Ighbors report having heard no
disturbance during thu night and no
other thefts were reported The police
are investigating the robbery. This rob
bery u another one TO be added to the

Proud of Legislatures Stand and
Women Who Opposed
Franchise.

Il am proud OF the stand taken yester-
day by the members OF the House" said
Judge George Gray this morning in com
menting on the suffrage vote at Dover
yesterday.
In my opinion, the Judge continued,
the Anthony Amendment is more i'm
portant than even the amendment that

thoughtful consideration to There should
not have been any effort to rush the ques-
tion through.

rectly from the train that brought them

the vote Judge Gray, through a state
ment during the heat Of the campaign in
which he advocated defeat of the move
ment to ratify the Anthony Amendment,
was of great strength to the women fight
ing suffrage, and he advised with them
daily during the campaign.

of the success of Mrs. Thompson and her
colleagues, and told them that they de-
served credit Tor the hight they had put up,
as did those members of the Legislature
who in the face of the strongest political
pressure that ii is possible TO bring upon
them, refused to vote against the wishes
of their constituents.
What the plans of the anti-suffragists
are in regard to the future of the suffrage
question at this Legislature could not be
