Z MATIN, Paris.-The anniversary
of the martyrdom of Jeanne

r Z MATTN, Paris.-The anniversary
of the martyrdom Of Jeanne
dare, La Pucelle d'Orleans, has
- recently been observed with all
honor and gratitude, not only in
the city she saved, and In that other
city where she gave her fair young life
for France, but throughout every region
of this great nation which she endowed
with q new vitality, commencing with
the crowning Of LIE Dauphin, Henry VI
Of France, at Paris in 1881. The COM
ing year, 1881, will mark the flve hun
dredth anniversary of all these epochal
events, and 1t will be q year given over
to the gratitude and glorihcation owed
so long to the maiden-soldier, who, a
glittering helmets and corseletS Of
French knights and soldiery to tri-
umphal conquest when all the cham
pions and marshals of France had
failed. And now, canonized as a saint
divine, she continues to receive not only
the affection and duty of the people she
restored to nationality, but also their
prayers for her eternal kindness and
protection.
Daily Chronicle
Sunk Under Competition.
The Daily Mail London.-The Daily
Chronicle, for many decades great ma
tional newspaper, is dead. After several
years of vicissitudes it has sunk under
the onslaught of intense competition.
Henceforth its identity is merged in the
Daily News.
The Daily Mail considers the passing
of the Daily Chronicle one Of the major
tragedies of Fleet street It's repercls-
sions will be felt throughout the British
Isles, and particularly in all those i'm
portant provincial cities where the So
called battle OF the newspapers is being
fought with increasing intensity. The
death of a great London newspaper,
whose fame and influence extended
back into mid-Victorian days, and con-
tinued undimmed until 10 years after
the World War was over, is an event of
national importance. There have been
other regrettable casualties in recent
years, but none of this magnitude.
The Daily Chronicle enjoyed SO years
OF enviable prosperity as a national
Liberal organ. 1t was a bright, popular
! paper and its political influence was
great In the days when liberalism was a
united force in the country, and found
its full expression in the House of Com
mons. AS its rise to success over q long
period Of years was steady and per-
sistent, so its spectacular collapse is
without parallel in the history of Lon
don morning journalism. AS recently
as 1927 the India merchants Sir David
Yule and Sir Thomas Cato, and Lord
Reading purchased the paper for G3,-
100000 which shows how swift has
been its decline and fall.

Aqua SaIud DwelIers
Disturbed by HOwling Dog.
FL Nueva Diario, Caracas.--Dwellers
in the quarter of Aqua Salud GOOD
Water have complained to the con-
stabulary regarding dog, which ap-
parently belongs to no one, and which
has been wandering disconsolately about
the streets of that district both night
and day. It is a distressing sight by
day, and at night its constant impor-
| tunities OF the moon have prevented
many people from sleeping. Indeed. its
| capaciOus howls are sufficient to raise
the hair-even the few remaining upon
the head of q bald man!
Up to this time there has been no
remedy for these discomf1tures except
| the traditional anC more or less mag
nificent rebuttal with stones, which, il
they hit the unfortunate canine, mean,
of course, more howls, and If they do
not, are equally ineffective in terminal
| ing the nocturnal concert. Everybody
in this vicinity Is heartily weary of the
whole performance and are waiting to
see II the appeal made to the police will
restore the opportunity for them to
sleep at night.
