Py SUD R GNP on TP AL H S A 4 PREMIER BRIAND CAUSES ARRESTS French Strike Leaders Be- hiad the Bars. CALLS IT INSURRECTION Head of Ministry Asserts That Agita- tors Precipitated the When Indications Pointed to an Amicable Adjustment—Conditions on the Railroads Afiected Show No Change for the Better. Movement Paris, Oct. 14—The French govern ment is meeting the situation result- ing from the general strike of railroad employes with a firmness that chal lenges the admiration even of those who sympathize with the men in their demands for a minimum wage of $1 a day. Five of the most influential strike leaders have been placed under arrest. This action was in fulfillment of Premier Briand’s promise to punish the agitators who, he has declared, precipitated an insurrectionary move- ment at the very hour that the pre- mier and M. Millerand, the minister of public works, posts and telegraphs, were conducting negotiations looking to the peaceful adjustment of the dif- ferences between the railroad man- agers and their employes. The National Railroad union has succeeded in thoroughly demoralizing the service on the Northern and the Western systems, but it had less suc- cess in the Eastern and Southern lines. The situation shows little change. The men of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean road are nominally on strike and the Eastern system is seri- ously hampered, but many trains are being operated as usual on the former system. The employes of the Paris- Orleans road and the Paris subway voted to go out, but the subway lines are being operated as usual. The hope of the strikers rests large- ly in the prospect of sympathetic strikes. Bricklayers Vote to Strike. The bricklayers and pavers have voted a general strike. The unions of other trade are meeting and are ex- pressing similar intentions. The five strike leaders arrested at- tempted a dramatic scene by as- sembling in the office of the Humanite, a socialist newspaper, where they passed the night in the company of virtually the complete socialist dele- gation of the chamber of deputies, awaiting the arrival of the police. However, when the officers arrived and the deputies began to make in- flammatory speeches the prefect of police cut the proceedings short and hurried the leaders off in cabs. The mobilization of railroad reserv- ists decreed by the government is pro- ceeding. . The men have responded in large numbers, but as yet they have not been ordered to take up the work of the strikers. A canvass of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean road and the Paris-Or- leans line showed that in most cases the men remained at their posts. A number of s3cts of violence against rolling stock is reported from the provinces. The strikers disclaim responsibility for these, saying that the damage has been done by persons not connected with the railroads. The strike is effective on the West- ern road leading to Lemans and Brest, Cherbourg, Havre and Dieppe and on the Northern road extending to Amiens, Boulogne and Calais. It had failed on the Southern division, over which Dijon, Chalons, Lyons and Mar- seilles on the Mediterranean are reached. The Eastern road to Bel gium and Germany points was badly hampered, but not wholly tied up. Traffic With Germany Suspended. Berlin, Oct. 14.—Passenger and freight traffic by railway with France has been practically suspended. Sleep- Ing car tickets are no longer sold to French interior points. The banks complain of serious inconvenience in the matter of financial transactions between here and France. Coal Mines Forced to Close. Courridres, France, Oct. 14.—The coal mines have dismissed 4,500 em- ployes because of the inability to ship coal during the railway strike. CORSET DEFLECTS BULLET Fond du Lac Woman Struck by Ball From Mysterious Source. Fond du Lac, Wis., Oct. 14—A cor- set steel saved the life of Mrs. Fred J. Linden of this city when a bullet fired at her struck the steel and glanced off. Mrs. Linden had stepped into the yard back of her house when she heard the report of a rifle. She felt a pain in her side and fell to the ground. It is not known who fired the shot. Indian Weds Mill City Girl. Milbank, 8. D., Oct. 14—John La- batte, graduate of the Carlisle Indian school and student at the state univer- sity, has marrled Eve Chalmers of Minneapolis, who first met the Indian when he was manager of the baseball team which played at Ortonville four years ago, when Miss Chalmers was there visiting. e e e . An Anecdote of Bach. The Duke of Saxe-Weimar once in- vited John Sebastian Bach, the Nestor of German music, to attend a dinner at the palace. Before the guests sat down to the feast Buch was asked to give an improvisation. The composer seated himself at the harpsichord and straightway forgot all about dinner and ever, ng else. He played so long that at last the duke touched his shoul- d nd said. *We are very much obliged. master, but we must not let the soup get cold.” Buch sprang to his feet and followed the duke to the dining room without uttering a word. But he was scarcely seated when he sprang up, rushed back to the instrument like one demented. struck a few chords and returned to the dining room. evidently feeling much better. *I beg your pardon, your hirhness.” he said. “but you interrupt- ed me in a series of chords and arpeg-- gios on the dominant seventh, and 1 2ould not feel at ease until they were solved into the tonie. It is as if you had snatched a glass of water from the lips of a man dying of thirst. Now I bave drunk the glass out and am content.” His Turn Came. Ben Davis defeated President Madi- son for election to the Virginia house of delegates after Madison had left the White House. Old Davis, who seldom wore a coat. was sitting on a rail fence on the roadside in Greene county one morning when a young man dressed in dapper fasbion and evidently from the city passed by. . "“Good morning.” said David, with the proverbinl Virginia politeness. To this the stranger paid no atten- tion. In a few minutes, however, he came to a fork in the roads and was evidently in doubt which way he should go. He retraced his steps to where Davis still sat on the fence and asked him th great politeness if he could tell him which way I ] to Stan- ardsville. Davis made no reply. “Will you please tell me,” the young man repeated, “which road L take to get to Stanardsville?” *You can.” said Davis stolidly, “take any d—d road you please."—Popular Magazine. A Lawyer’s Paradise. Naples, under Spanish rule in the eighteenth century, was overrun with lawyers. Of their profusion Joseph Addison had this to say: *It is incredible how great a multi- tude of retainers to the law there are at Naples, It is commonly said that when Innocent XI. had desired the Marquis of Campio to furnish him with 80.000 head of swine the mar- quis answered him that for his swine he could not spare them. but if his holiness bad occasion for 30,000 law- yers he had them at his service.” It seems to have been a golden age for lawyers, for., as the author says. “there are very few persons of con- sideration who have not a cause de pending. for when a Neapolitan has nothing else to do he generally shuts bhimself up in his closet and falls a tumbling over his papers to see if he can start a lawsuit and plague his neighbors.”—Dietetic and Hygienic Ga- zette. Technically Gentlemen, There is only one strictly technical definition of gentleman—a man entitled to bear coat armor. In the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries it was used with this significance, and the secondhand bookstall hunter will oc- casionally find *“So-and-so, ‘*‘gentle- man,” written on dusty and stained fly leaves. But this definition has dropped out, for now any one may use arms who chooses to pay for an arms li- cense. The inland revenue takes your guinea or two guineas without inquir- ing as to your right to bear arms. And, though the heralds’ colleze has the right to grant arms to those who can afford to pay the necessary fees, it cannot prevent people from using arms to which they have no right.— London Chronicle. Made Her Pay Well. A certain queen of Hanover once upon a time when traveling stopped at an inn called the Golden Goose. She remained two days to rest herself and retinue and receive such entertain- ment as was needed and for the same was charged 300 thalers. On her de- parture the landlord besought her with obsequious deference to favor him with her patronage on her return. “If you desire that, my dear man,” replied her majesty, “you must not again take me for your sign.” Very “Respectful.” The villagers used to make love in a solid, stolid fashion. *“I'm sure, m’m;"” said a servant to her mistress, “nobody could have had a respectfuler young man nor what Thomas has been to me, We've been courting two years come Martlemass. and he’s never yet offered to kiss me!”—From “Recollections of a Yorkshire Village,” by J. S. Fletcher. A Similarity. “He's quite wealthy and prominent now,” said Mrs. Starvem, “and they say he rose from nothing.” “Well, well!” remarked Mr. Border. “That’s just what I rose from—at the breakfast table this morning.” Closing the Incident. Pulsatilla—Your latest young man, 1 hear, has written a play or two. Has he produced anything yet? Euphorbia —Y-yes: the last time he called he pro- duced a diamond ring.—Exchange. The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it.—Emerson. e —— W B —— KILLED WITH SUCCESS NEAR Inventor Had Worked Fourteen Years to Perfect Patent. Aurora, Ill, Oct. 1l4—James E. Woods, an inventor, was caught in the shafting at a factory here and whirled to death. He had just com- pleted an invention of a corn husking machine and Aurora financiers were ready to buy his patent. His invention would have netted him a fortune, those who had become interested in the machine say. For fif teen years he had worked perfecting the machine and only last week he re ceived his patent rights. He was six ty years old SKIN AND SCALP TROUBLES =YIELD TO ZEMO.
