By Paul VlUIers. ' ' ' ; , Paris, Oct,. 18.-rMany serious nnded men, public- officials, clerics and men whtf .Interest ' themselves In all public affairs are1 seriously considering wheth er or" not It would be a good thing to revlv the custom of lashing dangerous criminals, commonly called apaches. There Is a very general.. opinion that magistrates are too- lenient and do not punish them to 'the full-extent of the law. Men Interested say ths reestablish meat of corporal punishment Is neees ary. Nothing is so humiliating to a man s to be whipped. The practice of using the cat-o'-nlne-talls may be re vived. The flgaro says about corporal punishment! "There are no longer ny apaches In England since the revival of corporal punishment An - old English policeman : said that ' this Is the , only punishment that .has any .effect, and this is the wy to get rljj of the apaches. Yet between he' apache and'hls victims there Is a parliament wh'lch thinks, that with 49 years of the "republic no man should be lashed In the name of the law. :The English people have no such scruple,', and ; yet .there is .no: country where self-respect Is, greater or the dignity of Independence. is felt more. But the English make distinction be tween the person who accepts the laws ct society and the creature who does not The protection of the former, In his eyes, is sacred, and those who abide by the law .and those Who break It ehould not be treated In the same .way. This Is the only equitable way of view ing things. , and we know that at one time London was full of bandits, and that now they are so afraid of the cat-o'-nlne-talls they hv almost disap peared." - v 7 -: r'-jy; Hotels Thieves Prosper. f Hotel ' thieves continue thelf work. They,, have Just carried away a large tidbit from a hotel in the Due de Rl voll, viz.,, i960 .In bank notes.. The thieves seem to belong to a rather bet ter organized class than those who are usually called "rats," and who as, a rule purloin purses and Jewels from hotel bedrooms. It was , the cashier's till they raided, and the old telephone trick was brought into, use successfully. Three strangers were loitering In the halj of the hotel and manager on vari ous pretexts to get all the "attendants out of the cashier's room except the cashier.- A confederate then rang up th hotel on the telephone and the cash ier went to 'answer .the call.. Why he went when there was no other clerk In the room is rtot explained. The tele phone hot is few steps from the cash ier's room In the hotel In, question. The cashier, on leaving ; his room, double locked the door of the latter, but very; unwisely-omitted ,to locjc his. safe. The telephone" rail proved to be, as he thought, a misfakP, but this was po surpri.se to one used to our local tele phones, and he went back to his office, when a real surprise did await him. The contents of his till had disappeared. How the thieves got into hid room is not known, as there were no marks of the door having been broken open. They made away successfully with their plun der and have not been traced. The booty might have been larger a few minutes later, as a clerk arrived with some 2000 more In ready monery. A number of American tourists have been robbed by the thieves. ' t Coffin Slakers on Strike. The coffin makers, following the ex ample lately set by the grave diggers and monument workers, have gone on strike. They are only 90 In number, but turn out annually some 48.000 cof fins, the sale of which, like' all other funeral arrangements here,: is a mo nopoly of , the municipality of Paris, which, the makers complain, shAmeful ly exploits them, making a profit out of the coffins alone of 300 per cent They are therefore agitating for short er hours and better pajv ': -:j7 :r Ons of Ufs'a Bomanoes. ' ' ' ' A remarkable story' is told concern ing a popular dancer in one of the halls of 'Montmartre. She wished to sfettle down quietly and give-up her life on the boards, ' so' she married a young man, " Ho, however, found that his pretty i wife was earning enough for both, and refrained from distressing himself by seeking employment of any kind. His 'wife, thinking that a taxi motor might tempt ...Mm to try and earn something at least purchased an. auto mobile, .for him with the profits of her dances. ' The man, however, at onca ; de cided to apply the car to another' use.' He selected another young woman, with whom he was going to elope to Brus sels in the motor car. ' His wife heard Of It and .came upon the couple as they were' removing trunks from i her own flat Driven but of her, mind at last, she whipped oiit a revolver and ( fired right and left at the woman and at her husband, who was taken to a hospital for the extraction of two bullets In his leg anj thigh. - - To, Promote Matrimony. ' Pascal Favale, a - benevolent gentle man who has Just died, has devoted his little fortune to promoting matrimony. The repopulatlng of France waa his end In view. He left three sums to three maidens on condition ( that they shall marry.. The list of applicants will close by November 18. They must be-over It and under -25. Otherwise no conditions whatever are imposed,, save the one es sential one that they give up celibacy. They may be plain or lovely, but must marry. Three names will be drawn by lots - from among those on the list These three" spinsters will than bind themselves to marry before the expira tion of three years. This gives them time to lopk around. On their weddlftg day, provided that r It comes to pass within three years, . the money, will be handed to each, of the three brides. If any or all of tht three spinsters are still spinsters after the lapse of three years the dowry will be forfeited, and fresh candidates chosen by lots. 7 ' ' Wise Harvest Is Slight.' The prospects for Burgundy wine this year seem even worse than was antici pated. The department of .the Cote d'Or, that of , DIJon, usually yields 17.000,000 gallons annually. This year the high est estimate places ,the probable figure at 1,300.000 gallons, and some put it as low as 220,000. Worse cases seem to be those of the famous district of Gevrey, Chambertln, which expects to press 1100 gallons at most instead of 660,000, and of the Meuravot vintners, who gen erally produce from 800 to 1000 casks, but who this year will not have a single one. The lowest yield hitherto In the Cote 'Or'ffeparto James K. Hackett, who la playing an engagement at Heillg theatre. 6,600,000 gallons, In 1892, whereas that of this .; year may : be as low as one thirtieth. The pecuniary loss, of course, will be enormous.

Logan sport, In&, Oct. 18.-o-"Do you feel like a doughnut tonight?" said Mrs. Charles Miller to her husband, as she passed him a plate of "sinkers'1 at the dinner table. Charles Miller was eating a peach at the dinner table. The Idea that he could feel like a doughnut struck his funny bone Just In time to interfere with eating and laughing at the same time. The peach stone slid into hta epiglottis and he strangled until a physician was called. The physician tooit Miller, who Is a , butcher.yto the physician's office In an automobile and made him cough up the peach alone by administering red pepper to force In voluntary coughing.

By William Philip Slmms. Paris, Oct ' 18.What America gives to Europe and what Europe gives to America are two different things. It's a case of all going out and nothing coming In for America. ' . Careful computation ahows that tour ists spend annually In. Europe and northern AfrlcA no less than a billion dollars. And of this sum the people of the United States contribute "no less than a fifth!' r ' " -v Lloyd's announces, for example that during June," 65 steamers left the port of New York f carrying : to -Europa 17, 000 passengers.1 This represented, in passage alone something like 83,000,000, Whe during the year, it Is estimated thaf.-WO.000 'voyagers, first and second classes, have crossed the Atlantic, from the'Unlted States.: 1 ' " . . ., , v ; What do these travelers leave in Europe in the way of moneyT : Consul General Frank Mason" says' h places the amount at about $29,000,000 for ' Parts alone, s He says the amount will not. fall below that figure anyhow. As for England this will surprise most people she gets , about 125,000,000 a year out of this same bunch of Ameri cans. ' The' general Idea Is that Ameri cans spend more money In France than In any other country on this side of the water. But here It Is seen that Eng land boosts France's share by $5,000,000 Germany doesn't stand far behind England ! either, Germany and France being about even. . Italy gets almost, as much money from the tourists as France, though not quite as much, while little Switzerland is the wonder of them alt From 1080 hotels which she had a few .years ago she now numbers fully 2000, each hotel getting Its full share of American dollars. 4 Some of the French statisticians place the Amount at $50, 000,000 annually, but I repeat the flg tlres under a small amount of reserve. Certainly, however, the sum Is enor mous. .. .'. - - As In Switzerland, hotels get consid erable of the money spent In Germany,1 It Is the thermal bathing resort Ger many being filled with that sort of thing, which attracts Americans. And of course that sort of attraction holds visitors longest. It takes more than a few days to complete a "cure." France has a few such places Vichy, Evlan, etc. but she cannot compete at all with Germany In this Una. . Of the money Americans spend In Paris, according to Consul OenerAl Mason, $7,000,000 are spent with Paquln Worth and other elegant dress making establishments, the department stores and so on; $1,200,000 go to lingerie houses; $2,000,000 to dealers in antiqui ties and brio-a-brae- merchants. . In England Jewelers get most of fthe money, ' tney ana - ine antiquity oeaiers Of course all those things which look! rxA . 1 l . ,. .! .. ouu aic UUUfjlll iur UIU, irs 11UI really oid. But they count in this list as antiquities Just the same. The bunco game is antique enough to warrant It being counted so. Europe Sends, Emigrants, Now, turning things about, what do the countries of JSurtfpe turn loose In the United States? ' ' It la estimated that ' on ordinary years about 8,000,000 emigrants, many of whom . become--dependants upon the state, flock to America,, Soma of these people have $50 when they land all of them a little. But on the whole they get more than they bring in. Some of them, who become money-makers, send what they make back to their homes in Europe. About one fourth of them re turn themselves to their native lands showing they have made more or less money In America and have taken It away, with them. MONEY FOR SERVANT IN .. -r REPEATED ATTENTIONS Paris, Oct. 18.-r-Amuslng Is the story which is related of the adventure of a Russian nobleman, who has been spending: a few weeks In Paris. On the evening of his arrival ha went to a theatrer and, thinking that it would be only polite to present a bouquet to the heroine of the "play, he despatched his servant with a very pretty one, and then forgot all about it, Great was. his 'astonishment' when, on the eve of his departure, a call from the actress was announced. Beaming with, smiles, she said to the nobleman, "I have come to' thank "you for your incessant and delicate ; attentions..'!..." 2ZZ'pZ-A-- A-- -. , "You are extremely . kind," he replied modestly,- "as "I only ' sent you one bouquet and that a month, ago, If I remember rightly:"' - ; . iWhy," the falr arttst answered, "your servant has brought me one every even ing." V :., -,-'. P A pull at the bell, land the man ap peared. J He waa promptly question? , and, this according to the story, was his frank answer. "When I took the first bouquet the lady gave me - five francs, and as it only cost me three, I went on."' What followed on this can did confession is left to the Imagination.
