Delcasse Leads Dramatic Debate
That Caused Overthrow of Man
Called the Nation's Ab
solute Master.
Parli, July 21. Kmnce Is In n fer
ment todny over the sudden fall of the
CleineiicciMi cabinet under such dra
matic circumstances.
The resignation of the ministers came
nt the conclusion of a violent debate
over the canal scandals, extending
over several days. M. Delcnsso, chair
man of the Investigating commission,
led the attack upon the naval adminis
tration, especially during the Incum
bency of M. I'elletan and M. Thomson,
former ministers of marine. But M.
Picaid, who succeeded M. Thomson,
had promised In the name of the gov
ernment to complete a series of re
forms, both In the administration of
the department and the methods of
construction, and the chnmber was
ready to vote confidence In the gov
ernment when nn incident occurred
which changed n complacent majority
Into a bathed and raging minority.
Trcmler Clemoneoau, who always
has been an adversary of M. Delcasse,
smarting under the criticisms and
doubtless overconfident of a majority
which on July 15 upon the general pol
icies of the government was 182,
taunted the ex-minister of foreign af
fairs, who was thrown overboard by
the Rourler ministry at the dictation
of Germany during the crisis of 1005,
with having led Franco to humilia
tion at Algeciras.
The specter of that chapter of
France's foreign history, In which Del
casse was sacrificed, was a fatal error.
Instantly there was an uproar of dis
sent from both sides of the chamber.
Delcasse flung back the taunt In Clc
menceau's face with bitter words, de
claring amid cheers that France had
gone to Algeciras In the interest of
peace,
name of Leon Bourgeois, former proim
lor and former minister of foreign af
fairs, Is most frequently mentioned,
but his age and health are against him,
M. Brland, minister of justice; M. Poln
care, former minister of finance; M.
Mlllerand, former minister of com
merce; M. I'ichon, minister of foreign
affairs; M. Barthou, minister of public
works, and M. Delcasse are also men
tioned In the order named. The So
cialists naturally are overjoyed at Cle
menceau's downfall. M. Jaures, the
Socialist leader in the chamber, said.
"With Clemenceau dlsapwars the most
dangerous man In the imblle." The
chamber of deputies adjourned until
tomorrow.

Hot words were bandied back nnd I Marriage of Miss Wanamaker to No-
bleman Bet For Early Date.
Philadelphia, July 21 It is reported
that the marriage of Miss Fernanda
Wanamaker, eldest daughter of Hod
man Wanamaker and granddaughter
of John Wanamaker, to Arturo Hee
ren, son of Count Ileeren of Paris and
Biarritz, will take place In the near
future.
Miss Wanamaker has spent the
greater part of her life abroad. She
was educated In Paris and spends six
months of each year there. She Is
now in Europe.
lEodman Wonnmnker maintains a
handsome town house here nnd a coun
try seat on the main line, as well as a
cottage at Chelsea. Miss Wanamaker
made her debut in this city Dec. 14,
lOUd.
Mr. Ileeren Is a member of nn old
aristocratic French family.
forth. It was n veritable duel be
tween two enemies. M. Delcasse in
tlmnted that Clemenceau had inspired
articles In the foreign press during
the crisis, but the latter emphatically
denied the imputation. The premier
seemed for the first time in his par
liamentary career to lose his head.
Finally M. Delcasse, as he was entering
upon an explanation of the situation
of 1005, drew himself up proudly and
said:
"I shnll say nothing further on that
subject. I have nothing to fear. Noth
ing in the past, nothing In our com
mon memories of twenty-five years
embarrasses me. If I look back I see
I have left something besides ruins."
Then turning directly to Clemenconu
he said: "You were president of the
naval Investigating commission of
1004. Your unsparing attacks upon
every government during twenty-five
years seemed sufficient guarantee that
you would find the root of the evil.
What were the results, I ask?"
M. Clemenceau, now evidently in a
rage, tried to parry the thrust by re
turning to the charge.
"Your policy as foreign minister,"
he shouted, "led ns to the greatest
humiliation France has experienced in
twenty years."
Another storm of hostile cries arose,
several deputies crying, "It is an out
rage to say that." But the premier
tried to assume his old cynical air.
"Oh, no false indignation, I pray you,"
he exclaimed. "You brought us to the
verge of a war without military prep
aration." Again the tumult was redoubled.
"Yes," he shouted above the roar, "the
whole world knew that the ministers
of war and Uie navy, when the ques
tion was put to them, replied that
France was not ready. I have not hu
miliated France. Delcasse has done
that!"
The scene when the premier took his
seat was indescribable. Amid the wild
est excitement the vote was taken,
and when It was announced that the
government had been beaten 212 to 170
Clemenceau clapped his hat on his
head, pulling it far down over his
eyes, and stalked out of the chamber,
followed by the other ministers, in
token that he intended to resign.
M. Clemenceau went Immediately to
the Elysee palaco and told the story to
President Fallleres, who seemed stupe
fied at the Incident which caused the
fall of the cabinet, but he accepted the
resignation of the premier and his
ministers.
There Is but one opinion In Paris to
day, and that Is astonishment that an
old parliamentary warhorse like Cle
monceau should havo committed po
litical suicide by his awkwardness in
recalling the Algeciras specter upon
the eve of adjournment, when the gov
ernment was assured of a majority
on the naval question. The premier's
action drove about fifty members of
the Republican "bloc" Into a combina
tion with Right and Extreme Left,
unhorsing the man whoso ministry
has been the longest In the history of
the Third Republic and who for three
years has been absolute master In
France.
President Fallleres will consult with
the presidents of the chambers today
a to Clemenceau's successor in a.
ccrdance with the usual custom. Th
ANTS 8ENDJM.SE ALARMS
Kept Closing the Circuit with Their
Bodies and Routing Out
the Firemen.
Summit, N. J. There Is a red ant
colony in this city that has been send
ing In false alarms over the fire alarm
telegraph system and sotting the fire
men out of bed two and threo times
at night right along. City Electrician
Walter F. Shapter stood watching
their researches the other night whllo
tho firemen wore Jumping In and out
of bed as tho whistle blew, and stop
ped for nearly an hour.
Shapter had been searching for tho
cause of tho pranks of the fire alarm
and had no success. But finally ho
opened up box 38, at Waldron avenue
and Whittrldgo plnce. which Is in tho
locality where the trouble seemed to
exist, and there the whole secret was
revealed to him.
"Thero must have been about a
thousand ants In that little box," said
Shapter. "They almost filled It. Most
of them wcro scurrying around seem
ingly with no object, hut when I look
ed closer I found they wore carrying
the dead away. Forming long linos,
they would run up to tho bottom of
tho box where there was a heap of
dead ants, each one would pick up one
of them and struggle out of a crovice
down tho pole to the ground. At first
I could not imagine what had killed
them, but as I watched 1 saw the
whole thing.
"Whllo one detachment of the army
was carrying awa tho dead another
detachment was lining up for another
sacrifice. First a group would form
on tho metal plato at tho bottom of
tho box. Others would tako positions
ahead of them, and as tho lino
stretched out I saw thoy were heading
for an exposed part of the circuit Just
above. As soon as the lino was com
pleted and the last little red ant took
his position, tail In the grip of his fol
lower and foro feet at tho exposed
part, the circuit would be shorted and
the whole of it would he going through
their little bodies. There was a flash
and a sort of a click. The whistle
blew In the distance and there was
a heap of dead ants at the bottom of
the box on which the carriers at once
began to busy themselves.
"Fascinated, I watched It for near
ly an hour and I couldn't tell you how
many ants I saw go to their death. I
marvelled at it and tried to guess
what their object was. I'm sorry the
men were bothered by tho whistle, but
I am glad I saw that wonderful sight."

Snake Killed by Two Rodents Intend
ed for His Breakfast.
Dalton, Ga. Two big gray rats
fought a battle with a rattlesnake
here and the rats won. The snake
was purchased by a grocery firm for
a window display. Early In the morn
ing two big rats were obtained as food
for the snake.
When the rats were placed In the
cage with the snake It mado no ef
fort to molest them. A crowd gather
ed to witness the snake and the rats,
but it was over an hour before the
rattler moved to attack.
The rats showed flight from the
start. Whllo the snake was after one
the other would be plunging its teeth
into the snake's body. After an hour
the snake succumbed. One rat was
nearly dead, while the other appar
ently was unharmed.
As a tribute to Its valor, tho un
hurt rat was released. The rattler
measured seven feet In length.
Pallid Faces Made Red by Applying
Iced Pads After Washing Flesh in
Hot Wntcr Lotions of Water nnd
Zinc for Noses.
Sometimes the simplest lithe aids
will make a marked difference in a
woman's appearance. For instance,
cne whoso hair is unmanagcble will
find that by applying a mixture of
one toaspoonfu. of glycerine to
five times as m.u'l water to loose
ends of tresses these short strands
stay neatly In place. In putting on
the mixture It should bo well shaken
and then applied to the hair with
a soft brush Hist before the dressing.
When short halr3 are jbdurate tho
the best me:hds ot training is to
put them on curlers. Aftorwnrd
they should be combed out until soft
and Cutty.
Another simple aid to Deauty Is
the ico bath that makes pallid cheeKs
red. To bring co'or into faces
use two round pads n trifle larger
than a silver dollar. They should be
made from thick flannel covered
smoothly with linen.
While these are soaking In Iced
water wash the face gently with
warm, not really hot water.
Then as soon as tho skin is dried,
which should bo done immediately
after tho laving, tho pads are taken
fion thoir bath, shaken to throw off
superfluous wet and placod directly
on that part of each cheek where
color is desired. The Bccrot of suc
cess with this lies In tho washing bo
lng done with really warm water and
tho compresses being Icy cold.
As simple remedies will help to
beautify shiny noses that havo such
an annoying habit of refusing to be
modified by powders, it Is well to ap
ply one of these liquid balms that
may be mado at home. A lotion
that is said to effect a euro of the
trouble is made of one ounce of dis
tilled water, eight minims of distill
ed tincture of lavender and two
grains of sulphate of zinc.
This should bo well mixed and ap
plied about four times a day, never
allowing It to remain on over night.
Put it on with a piece of soft mus
lin. For softening rough or coarse
skin on tho hands common yellow
cornmeal is an exlellent cure. It
should bo mixed in tho proportion
of ono ounce of orris root, powdered,
C a pound of meal.
To apply It tho hands should be
washed as usual, taking caro to use
t. soap that is not drying; then the
meal Is poured into ono hand and
this is rubbed over the other with
the same motion used in washing,
using again the grains that should
have fallen on a tcwel, box. &c, un
til tho skin is p.uite dry.
Dodging the Trull in the Dance.
"Nobody ever told mo that I was a
good dancer," declared Edward M.
Greenway, leader of cotillons. "But
I'll tell you a compliment a young
woman did pay me onco. She said:
'You took me through that crowd
without a collision nnd without any
one treading on my skirt.'
"Well, I never had a dancing les
son in my life. But I used to prac
tice dancing in the days when women
wore those great long trains, and It
was not considered good form to
pick them up. They trailed along
behind several yards. Those were
the days when you had to crulde and
keeping moving with your partner
so as to keep that train following
graceiuuy."
"But how did you practice?"
"Used to tie two sheets to an ordl.
nary chair and then dance in and
out among a dozen chairs scattered
over a dance floor." San Francisco
Chronicle.
Painted Husband's Nose.
Indianapolis, Ind. In tho trial of a
divorce suit Mrs. Dora Rost, who was
the defendant, testified that for years
she had been compelled to paint her
husband's nose beforo he went to
work. Tho presiding judge was
greatly surprised, and asked the wit
ness to explain. "Mr. Rost drank so
hard that bis nose got red, and I was
afraid he would lose his position be
cause his employers would know he
was drinking," said the woman.
"Occultos" Is a Mystery.
London. Something really mysteri
ous, something to arouse the curiosity
and the interest of everybody, is being
exhibited at the Coliseum. It is a
full-sized figure ot an old gentleman,
and is called "Occultos." You can
take his hoad from his body and re
move his legs, and you see nothing
beyond a few springs, and yet this
model when put together will give
long 'verbal answers to questions, and
will more his head and bis laca.
Why Women Ride Astride.
"It Is the general opinion among
the physicians with whom I asso
ciate," writes a correspondent of the
New York Medical Journal, "that the
fashion oi womjn riding astrldo has
not had its origin in fad so much as
it ha3 In tho advice ol physicians of
wiur modern type.
"The fact that a person riding
astride can have more freedo n from
Jar and jolt than one riding on a
sldo saddle, should be a point in
favor of tno astride method, aside
from the fact of It bolng safer and
easier for tho rider.
"The fact that it might be con
sldered Immodest by thoso who are)
not familiar with the astride method
of riding Is no reason why It should1
be condemned. The mala reason
why It is becoming more popular Is
beauoo that physicians In general
see Its good points over the old
method and aro thus advising It."
