Pnrl«. June 24.—-By n majority of
104 the chamber of deputies this af
ternoon voted confidence in the rov
ernment arid save the ministers a
free hand to employ the measures
lhey think beat to re-establish the
sovereignty of the law In the dis
turbeddepartmonts of the south.
ThiR result came after a day of
Intense excitement over ihe mutinous
movement of troops tn the south fol
lowing the widespread disorders of
the wine growers.
1702 and 1007.
Through tho hot July of 1792 a
band of men marched the dusty
French <roads from Marseile to Paris
dragging a cannon. Tho men sang
i he wonderful song which, because
they were first to sing It, was called
the “Marseillaise" the most por
tehttons song in the history of the
world. These men came from the
south because they were weAricfl of
injustice, because the moribund
monarchy could do nothing for them,
and the Paris mob, which ruled thp
monarch, had brought about a reign
of anarchy in the capitol. Through
out France spread the news of the
march of'lhe men of the Midi. In
Paris they were greeted as heroes
and deliverers. And on Aug. 10
their cannon tore the breach in the
walls of the Tuilleries which let In
red republicanism and let out the
life blood of French absolutism.
Today the descendants of these
men of the Midi are demanding sltn
-lUe. jwtlfia fxtigu. jjygjtyv eminent only
less ffft^potlc than that of the "an
clen regime.” Today, as in 1792.
the troops are fraternizing with the
rebels. Today, as In 1792, men are
moved lo deeds of lawlessness and
violence, but the cans for which they
contend Is scarcely less just, than
that upheld by their sturdy ances
tors.

When the first co-operative kosher
meat shop In the history of (’low

Hot place than one for purchase or
commodities. Men, women and chil

of the entrance to the shop. 21 1 ,r>
Ornnge-ave., for an opportunity to
buy the first piece of meat that they
have possessed in fen days. Cries of
the excited people, many with babies
in arms, added to the general din,
and raised the great crowd to a high
pitch of excitement.
1 h«* Detroit steamer brought 4,000
pounds of (Ii’oss(m| beef, together
with a considerable quantity of veal,
ror the opening of the kosher shop.
After 7 o'clock the four cutters be
gan work on the meat, while hcn
tireds calmored about the door in
fear that they might lie too late to
secure a hit. As fast as possible tlie
meat was cut up under the direction
of .Jacob nernstein. the leader of
the boycott. *
In a little less than three hours
the entire stock of meat had been
exhausted and still many people ha l
not been supplied. They wen* great

shed tears. One woman with a
siiinll child in her aims was so pulled
about and jostled in the crowd that
she hurst Into tears, fearing she and
her family u'ould have to go hungry
again. Bernstein, saw that she was
supplied.
A total of $355.6fi III cash was re

th display window. Speaking of the
furlh<y supply of meat Bernstein
said:
"This first day has been so suc
