Tiquet had engaged him in conspiracy to murder her husband in which also her porter was concern ed.
 The trial that followed found her accused not only of attempting to mur- der her husband, but also for having been concerned in a conspiracy for that purpose, which had not taken ef- feet. Finally, on June 3, 1899, the judge of the Chatelet passed sentence upon her and upon the porter by which she was adjudged to have her head cut off and he to be hanged. Cattelain was condemned to the galleys for life.
 When the husband had fully recov- cred he went to Versailles, accompan- jed by his two children, and threw himself at the feet of the King. Sire, said he; T implore your mercy for Mime.

AMERICA AND THE GENOA CONFERENCE.

By Prof. Paul N Mifiukov the we'll know Russian statesman and scholar. who was the leader of the liberal opposition in the Dunna and after the March revolution of 1917 occupied the post of minister of foreign affairs in the Russian provisional government, is at present in this country as delegate o the executive committee of the conference of the All-Russian oon- stdtuent assembly.
 Concerning American and the Genoa conference he has the following to say:
 Before the United States decides wneth- CT it should take part in the Genoa con ference. at which the American repre- sena tives would mee the delegates of bol- shevist Russia, three main points in the situation should be made perfectly clear: First what are the motives be1dn1 the decision of certain European circles to urge that such a, conference take place? The answer to this is, business consider ations Second, what are the motives that induce the bolshevist rulers to ac- cept eagerly the invitation to the con ference? The answer to this Is, the ma tertal and moral exhaustion of the bol- shevist regime
 Finally, will the result of the confer ence, if it takes place, fulfill the expecta- | tions of both parties. and how will it af- | feet the general situation7 The answer to | this is: The Genoa conference, if It re- suits in an open failure, which is quite probable, will only illustrate once more | the irnpossibility of bridging the chasn between bolshevism and civilization Ii on the other hand, it will result in some | agreement with the bolsheviki, this agree ment, just as the previously concluded British -bolshevist trade agreement, wil result very soon in disappointment for tht business interests and in the strengthening 1 of the bolsnevist power and their prop 1 eganda. thruAga1out the world.

THE BUrrERwoRrH INJUNCTION

Refusal of Judge Maltbie to dissolve the injunction that was granted re- Strsining Treasurer Butterworth of the American Legion of this state from pay ing himself a salary of $500 monthly from the fund which has been estab- lished by the state for the benefit of needy soldiers supports the stand that was taken by Comptroller Bissell against this payment.
 Under the fund which the legislature established it was provided that the in- come from the sum should be devoted To such cases as were deemed worthy and 1t declares that mo part of the in- terest accumulation shall be expended In organizing or maintaining" the or gsnization that would handle and distri- hute the Income. With all moneys usea being required 10 go for charity It is difficult to see how an interpretation of the law can be stretched to such a de- gree that any of the funds available fol soldier relief can be applied for salary purposes. Comptroller Bissell has maintained this position from the first without anything but the best of feel ings for the American Legion. He be lieved 1t his duty 10 protect state fund, and puhcid the law and the decision O Judge Maltbie upholds his position.
 IL is to be noted that Treasurer But ,erworth insists that his effort in be half of the salary was for the bench of his successor. Such may be the cas- but it Is recalled that when the matte was before the legislature Mir.

 This Country?


 This Country?
 Mir. Editor: I do not propose here to answer this momentous question, but pre- fer to leave 1t to the intelligence, of this the good old city of Norwich. I will simply ask a few pertinent questions
 First, who are the principal Nolators Gin the manufacture and sale of intoxi- eating liquors) of the Volstead act? How about their antecedents, their character. etc?
 i Second, Who are responsible for the innumeraible Ioldups and robberies all over the country? Also murders?
 Third. What is or was the primal cause for such an influx of foreigners to this country?
 This may be the land of the free an home of the brave, but I for one protest against 1t being made the dumping ground for the scum and refuse of all Europe. I do not condemn all, but the large majority which come under the head of individuals In their native land One more question and then I'm done Who constitutes the majority in your pen al, corrective and charitable institutions? i If, Mir Reader. you do not have statistics at home enable you to answer these few questions I refer you to the daily issues of this.

 It is clear that Russia's return to pro- dN1ctivity Is indispensable for the reestab- lishment of normal economic conditions in Eurdoe and throughout the world. At the same time, the minimum reforms required to make Russia's return to productivity possible is the establishment of personal security and legal order, wCrTvlI would safeguard human lives and property in Russia. However, these elementary condi- tions of civilized intercourse, which Rus siafpossessed since the time of Peter the Great, cannot be conceded by the bolshe- wiki.

DOLLAR DAY

Dollar day is nothing new; It has been presented many times for the en- dorsement of the buying public and it has been given such enthusiastic en- dorsement that 1t is only natural that the merchants should be inclined to re- peat whenever opportunity dictates.
 Dollar day means time when those who do the trading are bound to give consideration to the offerings which are made which permit of the saving of the pennies and the dollars. Those who are In need of goods of the great variety offered by the stores of Norwich, those who are inclined to anticipate their needs, those perhaps even who see a good chance to fortify themselves against requirements which are sure to be faced are bound to give considera- tion to the offerings and at the same time practice a bit of thrift.

FAMOUS TRIALS
M M E, TIQUET

M E. TtQOEI
 One of the most remarkable among French trials of women was that of Mime. Tiquet, which has been made ia miliar to the English world through a translation from the French Causes Celebres," a miscellaneous collection abouEding in strange incidents and au- thentic criminality.
 Mime. Tiquet was the daughter of a wealthy bookseller by the name Of Carlier. whose fortune at his death was estimated at $25,00O. She was born in 1857, and was left an orphan at the age of Is. She was not only beautiful but accomplished. Among her numer- ous admirers was Mons. Tiquet, a counselor of Parliament. They were married and the first months were full of smiles.
 I The happy days overs the excessive expenses of Mime. Tiquet obliged her husband to endeavor to set some bounds to them. And still worse, the Sieur de Montgeorge, captain of the | French guards, so dazzled the eyes of Madame that her husband appeared odious. The husband was jealous. He was over head and heels in debt, and his embarra ssments were increased by 1 the expenses he had incurred in his marriage.
 Tiquet was now at the mercy of his creditors, and this circumstance, add ed to his constantly watching his wife's steps to interrupt her flirta- tions, raised her hatred to such a pitch that it turned at last to fury and she resolved to have him assassi- mated.
 Mme. Tiquet had some knowledge of vile character named Augustus Cattelain, and to this man she gave considerable sum of money and promised him more in case he would
 take upon himself to be the minister of her vengeance. She gained ascen- dency over her husbands porter bs

RELIEVING NEW ENGLAND ROADS
