French Government
TfiM There Must lie "o Enforced Alili-
tary Service For Xaiuiv.ljzed
Americans.

iiCCctancas.
Washington-, May 9. Coneenilnp the
enforced military duly required by Franco
of naturalized American litiz -us, Secretary
Bayard has instructed Mnib or ilcLano to
inform M. Flourens that the Government
of the United States holds that the decree
of naturalization granted by it to a French
citizen is not open to Impeachment by the
French Government either in its executive
or judicial branch, and that if it i alleged
to have been improperly issued the remedy
is by application to the Department of
Stale.
,lTou will further say," writes the
Secretary, "that if the subjection to forced
military service of the citizens whoso cases
you have i carted is basid upon an
assumption that they are not citizens of the
United States this Department asks for
their immediate release and for a proper
compensation for the lo.scs which they
have received by such detention. It can
not be admitted that American citizens not
charged with any crime should be detained
under arrest for even a single day after
their proofs of citizenship have been bto
seated. In cases like this tbeUnitciStates
csx never admit tbo propriety ofAibmit
ting to the ordinary delays of-judicial
action."

THE ARLINGTON TRAGEDY.
General ltolief That Lonis Gratelaschen
Murdered lite llrotlicr Fred, Ills Sister-ID-Law
and the Other Five Fersuns and
Then Suicided.
Arlington. Neb., May 9. The awfu!
affair at the Frccse farm is still an absorb
ing topic, the general belief existing that
the death of the eight persons found in the
ruins of the burned barn was the result of
a fearful crime. A more careful examina
'tionof the charred corpse ofMrs.Grate
Iuschen showed that her throat had been
cut Tbe left temple of her husband, Fred
Grateluschen, was found to have been
crushed in. A motive for the
murder exists. Louis Grateluschen
was employed by his brother Fred on tbo
farm and was displeased because he
thought he was not paid enough and deter
mined to be revenged on Fred and bis wife.
The theory is that he killed Mrs. Gratelus
chen with a butcher knife as she entered
the barn to milk the cows and then brained
his brother. The hired man was then
killed, together with Mrs. Freese aad the
two children as they were attracted to the
barn by the outcries. The murdeier proba
bly followed up his direrul work by firing
tbe building and committing suicide.

Hard on Slave Children.
Chicago, May 9. Judge Tuley, in a con
tested will case, has decided that a child
born in slavery is illegitimate and can havo
no heirs but those of her own body. The
ground for the decision is that slaves being
chattels no legal marriage between them
or with them is possible any more than
with or between real estate. The case will
be appealed. The opponents of the decision
hold that the proclamation1 of emancipa
tion and the constitutional amendments
gave the freed i.Iavca all tho rights and
privileges of freedom retroactively and
made their children legitimate.

A darkness close behind her drew,
A voice slRhe J Inward tirougU tho gloom:

With Joy must Sadness cater ia
Always, her shadow and her twin.
"Dear Joy," I said, "6it down with rael

And prove how perfect life caa be
Apart Iron pain, rcct and doubt.

T&y soul toward lofty destinies;
Her tears havo nada my vision clear;
Her reaming heart ha led cie here."
