NO FUNERAL NOTICESWASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug. 6.
?Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife ofthe President of the Pnited States,died at the White House at 5o'clock this afternoon. Death cameafter a brave struggle ofmonths against Bright's diseaseand other complications.

LICENSES ARE READY!HUNTERS MAY NOW SECURE THEIS
PRIVILEGES FROM THE COUN-
TY TREASURER.
County Treasurer J. Willis Wilsonis now ready to disburse the hunters'
licenses for this coming season andalready quite a number have paid the
required fee and were given the little >
piece of oilcloth that gives them per- \u25a0mission to hunt the elusive rabbitand that animal's companions of the
wild.
The attempt to have the hunting li-
censes for this year issued from the
offices of the justices of the peace has
failed. It appears that last year much
time was lost by the manner in which
the licenses were issued, and it wasplanned to have books of "tags" sentto the various offices of the magis-
trates in the different towns. This
was done in a number of counties last
season with great success.
Licenses will therefore be issued in
much the same manner as they were
last year. The hunter will go before
the squire and make application. This
year the squire will immediately col-
lect the fee. The hunter must hand
the magistrate a stamped self-ad-
dressed envelope to be sent to the
county treasurer with the application
and then the license will be mailed
directly to the hunter making the ap-
plication.

PARIS, Aug. (>. ?Official an-nouncement is made that the bat-tle continues to rage around Liege,Belgium. The German shell lirehas reduced two of the Liege fortsbut the Belgians continue to re-sist with untiring energy.
The Germans were able to usetheir light siege guns against theforts of Liege, which are 1 yearsold. Two of them were silencedand the German columns brokethrough. The other forts are hold-ing out. The Belgians are makinga determined resistance before thecity. The situation at Liege, ac-cording to the latest dispatches,was as follows:
If the German army succeeds incarrying Liege it will find itselfconfronted by an entrenched campat Xamur, at which the Belgiansare preparing to make a stand asfierce as that at Liege.
The Belgian army was brilliant-ly fulfilling its task of delayingthe German advance, and it ap-peared certain the German staff'splan ot campaign in Belgiumwould be hindered by the obsti-nate stand of the Belgians.

New York, Aug. 7. ?The stock exchange has derided to remove the
prohibition against trading, inaugurat-ed after the exchange suspended op
erations last Thursday. Buying andselling of a nonspeculative character
will be permitted and this, it is be-lieved, will be effective in clearing
up many contracts hanging over from
las*t week.Stock exchange officers have warned
members that they are not to adver-
tise anyjLlist of quotations and thatsuch bumness as may be consummat
ed in this unofficial manner must in
no way conflict with the best inter-
ests of the exchange.
Reduction of the British bank dis-count rate and reports of similar ac-tion by the Bank of France are ex-pected to react favorably in this quar-
ter.

FRANCE IN SOUTH AMERICA. IIts Influence In the Melting Pot of the
Latin Races.
South America is the melting pot of
the Latin races, ami the French influ-ence now seems to predominate overthat of Spain Italy is well represent-ed, especially in strong Argentina .
Brazil seems tc be the most polyglot ofthem all, for here the native Pormguese is mingled not only with theSpanish and French and English, but agreat deal of German. In the south ofBrazil 90 pel cent of the people sneakGerman, and Portuguese is not alwaysenforced as the language even of thepublic schools.
The large German colonies here do
not affiliate with these people as tbe>do with the Anglo-Saxon brothers orthe north They live to themselves,they retain their own language andcustoms in chile, where there aremany English too, the Germans directthe education of the country BuenosAires is close to this Germanic group
In southern Brazil and feels its influ 'ence, though Argentina seems the most !
unitied and progressive of the republies in point of literary expression andculture.
French influence also is felt in Bra ;zil. Rio de Janeiro itself was founded ias a refuge for French Huguenots,
though they were afterward drivenback. In Paris today one hears that ayouth is to emigrate to America, butprobably it is to Rio that he is going.
There are many French immigrants,and French is required in most of tbeschools and is next to the native tongue
in importance in northern Brazil. For-merly in Brazil Spanish or German al-
ways came next to French, but it is
said that some of the states now re-quire English as the third languageand that Brazilians are proud of theirEnglish.?Christian Science Monitor
Suspicious.Ernest Vizetelly, who has publish
ed a record of his experiences during the Franco-Prussian war, tells astory to illustrate the popular mania
for discovering "treason" that prevailed in Paris.
He says that one day a soldier re
marked to a comrade:"I am sure that the captain is a trai
tor.""How's that?" was the rejoinder.
"Well." said the suspicious soldier"have you not noticed that every tinehe orders us to march forward we in
variably encounter the enemy?"
Executions In Europe.
Methods of putting criminals to deathvary. In Europe the guillotine is tiemode of execution most generally eui
ployed. Austria, Holland and Portug i
are the only other countries beside-Great Britain where criminals arebanged. In Oldenburg they are shot, itBrunswick they are beheaded, and itSpain they are garroted London Telegraph.
