A FAMOUS RESORT OF PARIS STUDENTS.

Bernard, who directed the first French
theater from 1924 to 1927, was one of the
few directors who had discovered the art
of managing this unmansgeable audience,
The pit was fond of calling him before the
foothghts when dissatisfied with this or
that detail of the performance, and Ber-
nard would explain with an air of parental
bonhomie which put everybody in humor.
These qualities did not fail him even on
occasions when most men would have lost
their temper. In the winter of 1925 a
certain melodrama was produced from the
pen of Thomas Salvage, well-kuown
literary hack of the time, under the title
of Preciosa. The reception awarded to this
unfortunate piece was go terrible that the
curtain was lowered before the end. But
even go the audience were not satisfied.
They clamored incessantly for Bernard, till
the Director at last appeared and asked
them what they wanted. "The end, NJ.
Bernard. How does it end ," 'tPreciosa
is recognized by her parents, and l Der
nard had been playing the villain) am
huDg-tha.'s the end" was the. reply.
The authors were treated quite as uncere-
monIously as the actors, and even the
possession OF great name was no security
against the capfices OF the parterre
story Is told OF one unfortunate who
was so exasperated by the reception given
to his piece that In the middle of the fourth
act he rushed on to the stage, seized his
manuscript out OF the hands Of the prompt
er, and made off again, shaking his fist at
the audience, only too delighted to have
the opportunity to avenge It's insulted
dignity by making a more than usually
bideous row. But evtn Balzac was not to
be exempt from these little courtesies,
though being Balzac, he received them in
very different manner. Les Resources
dc Quinols, performed for the first time
at the Odeon in 1912, was the second I'M
successful piece of the great novelist. 1t
was considered to he poor imitation Of
the Spanish drama, unworthy of Balzac,
and was received from the second act on
ward with a storm Of disapprobation.
Balzac looked on from bis box while his
piece was being massacred. Never, even
at the Odeon, were the Kisses, catcalls and
interruptions so continuous ard ferocious.
Everybody expected that al the tefmina.
tion of the evening Balzsc would be found
overwhelmed and in despair. When the

er, Leon Gozlan, informs us, "as asleep

difficulty that they could awaken him.

TIE CATHEDRAL OF cggnosa.

Cremona, one Of the Lombard cities, has
a history, like many others, dating back to
Roman days. full of battle, siege and war.
For time IL Was in some sort indcpeud.
ent, ruled by its own podesta. In.l796 it
was taken by the French. 1t is now
prosperous city of $1,000 inhabitants, the
manufacture OF musical instruments being
sun one OF its great industries, and the
Amati are still there. After the Cremonese
threw Oft the yoke of Brescia in llO7, they
began to erect a cathedral worthy of their
city. They were not in hurry, and the
edl1ce rose solid and grand, not being
consecrated for divine worship till 1880,
and even then only the nave and aisIss
were completed. Tne work was then de-
layed, but after the city was embraced in
the duchy of Milan, the work on the
cathedral was resumed TRANSCRIPTS were
begun in 1912, but the choir was
net completed till late in the following
century. While Columbus was crossing
the Atlantic his countrymen in Italy were
building the facade of the Cremona Cathe-
dral, and did not complete it till near the
time when the English and Dutch were ex-
plorlng Chesapeake and New York bays.
A church In which the construction of va
rlons parts was commenced at such long
intervals shows various styles of archi-
lecture, and different conceptions of build
ers. 1t is, however, Lombard. The front

vine-ieaf molding, carved by Hyacinth
Porata. The side walls are of nodded
brick, worked with great beauty. The
front OF the north transept has porch In
the pointed style, supported by lions, and
three hne rose windows. The interior is

Ihe baptistery, octagonalin form, dates back

but has projecting porch, supported by
hons, Besides the cathedral, connected with
Il by loggie, is the great tower, the pride
OF Cremona, begun in the year 1888, to
commemorate the peace between the cities
OF Cremoaa, Milan, Piacenza and Brescia.
1t was erected with remarkable rapidity,
the square portion having been completed
IN two years. The Cremona tower is the
highest in Italy, being 800 feet from the
ground, and when you have assembled the
49S steps leading to the summit, a brilliant
panorama unfolds before you-the Milenese
plain, intersected by the Pc, with the Alps
and the Apennines in full view. The Gre
monese are very proud OF their Campanile,
for it has bells which were cast in 1918.

CAPTURING A KINGDOM

The drowning of john a B. Latrobe, of
this city, recently, recalls an incident in
national history in which Mr.. L1trobe was
prominently concerned, that nearly in
volved this country in a serious difficulty
with England. In 1873 young Lstrobe,
then about 25 years of age and rising and
wealthy lawyer, was appointed to accom-
pany a. b. Steinberger, of California, on
the expedition which was sent by the Uni
ted States Government to the Samoan or
Navigator's Islands, in the South Pacific
Mr.. Latrobe's ample private means enabled
him to make the trip highly enjoyable, and
when he and Steinberger arrived at the
islands they soon commenced to "cut a
figure" Steinberger, it is believed, acting
on the advice of his adventurous com.
panion, conceived the idea of annex
ing the islands to the United States.
With this object in view they can
cured their consent to the scheme, and
proceeded to select ruler for the king
dom they proposed to establish. Their
choice for the position was one of the rulers
having the largest following. who was Gully
crowned Hawaii the First, King Of the Sa-
moan Islands. Steinberger then had him
self appointed Prime Minister and Latrobe
Secretary of War. The latter proceeded
to organize the army and navy, and also
drew up the Constitution which is at
present in force in the Samoan Islands.
Under Latrobe the small army was uni
formed in blue coats and white pants and
armed with rifles. The ascendancy of the
two whites over the natives was unques.
tionable, and there is no doubt that they
would have annexed the islands to this
country had Uncle Sam desired to accept
the present No law or official order from
the King was legal until countersigned
by the Prime Minister, Steinber-
ger, nor could any funds be drawn
from the treasury without the con.
sent of Mr.. Latrobe. While all this was
transpiring Sir Edward Thornton, the
British Minister to the United States, was
in correspondence with the home Govern.
ment, the result of which was that a Brit.
ish man.of,war anchored off the Samoan
group. The Captain landed in small
boat and endeavored to assume control of
affairs, but was placed in irons by order of
the Secretary of War. Within few hours
a second man.of-war approached, and the
Prime Minister, knowing he had exceeded
his authority and Instructions, surrendered.
Messrs. Steinberger aud Latrobe were
taken prisoners. Mr.. Steinberger was left
on one of the numerous islands Astounding
in the South Pacific, against his will and
protestations, and Mr.. Latrobe was sent
home. On returning to Baltimore he re.
sumed the practice of his Profession

TIE THOUGHT OF DEATH.

All, foolish hope !! How many flowers have faded
Long ere the petals of their prime we're spr ad.
How many on dry earth their bloom have shed
By blight deformed, BY canker warns invaded
To arch these aiSles, these labyrinths CO onaded
That so light and Iustrous overhead,
To build these domes tina. echo to eur tread
How many million men have died unaided
Each stone OF this huge house Of human thought
Was hewn with sweat and sigh, with blood and
tears
Cemented, by dumb children Of blind years,
Toiling instetiyely and terror-frausht,
Mid anguish and intolerable fears,
Nor knowing what their bleeding hands had
wrought.
Shall these arise winged by immortal mind
Who toiled on earth obscure aud vegetive?
If life be president thoughts prerogative,
They can but die whose germs of thought was
blind.
Sightless and mute, leaving no trace behind
See them whiri past like mists the breezes weave,
Blurred forms, and faces undemonstrative,
Blown by the blank and elemental wind
First founders of our race, the name whereby
God knows yeu in the place of death and hell
Is legion Ndmberless they hurry by,
Growing more vaporous, till who shall tell
II those last shapes be mer-those clouds that fiy
'TSixt lurid lights and glooms inscrutabie9
Nor those alone perplex me but see
The multitude of babes unslain:
The phalanx OF bleared IDIOTS in whose brain
Echo is dumb the blank-eyed company
Of self-Imbruted slaves, whose atrophy
Sinks the blunt spirit beneath sense of psin:
The serfs OF crime and labor who remain
Lost mid our daylight in duh misery;
All who through fault OF self or circumstance
Through sins of parents primal flaw,
Live stuntsd, dwarfed, foredoomei to Ignorance
Perverse, ahortive, swerring from the law,
Iwy-fsrmed, twy-natursd, crude, corrupted raw
How can these claim Gods inheritance?

A MIDSUMMER BALL IN LONDON.

The great Almack's ball is over, and
many OF the forecasts concerning it's in.
tended arrangements proved less reliable
No royal duke aud duchess honored the
ball; no veteran leader of cotiIlons once
more achieved triumph, for there was no
cotillon to lead. Though 10 o'clock was
the time en- the cards OF invitation, there
were not half dozen arrivals when the
clock struck IL. The entrance was by the
corridor that opens close to the east door
of the Albert Hall, and. like all the pas.
sages, it was carpeted with red cloth, and
decorated with foliage plants. The cleo
trio light had been chosen as the means of
Illuminating the scene, but from the first
moment it was not success. There was
a weird look on everything, and even the
Youngest and prettiest were severely tried
by its ordeal, while upon those whose
adjoining is not of nature only the effect
was CHASTITY. A most perfect floor was
laid in the center of the conservatory,
fianked at either end by inviting couches
and chairs; plenty OF seats were on all
sides in the galleries. A buffet with light
refreshments stood at the end +; but the
great feature OF the entertainment was
the illuminated gardens. Thousands of
colored lamps traced the outlines of the
terraces, etc, while every bough upon
the trees near the conservatory was
bright with the same /; and, standing on
the terrace, it was a fairy-like scsne

the dancers stood still, and consternatlon
was on ali. Faint screams were heard at
first, and then the whole multitude burst
into simultaneous peal Of laughter. A few
feeble attempts were made to revive the
electric light without success; and then.
to the delight of everyone, the long line
of gas Jets, which run round the con.
