the eagerness of the French to possess
it is not surprising. 1t is one of the
largest islands in the world, having an
area greater than that Of all France,

of about the same area AZ Oregon, Idaho

mirably located for the building upon

surprising II some day 1t is not the seat

about 100000. Twenty years ago it
was an unknown land, like the heart of
the adjacent continent Of Africa. These
twenty years have, however, made a
great change. Civilization has been in
troduoed, while Christianity has done
much towards freeing and enlightening
the minds Of the heretofore heather
population. Another twenty years of
like progress will make Madagascar one
of the foremost of the nations inhabited
by the dark skinned races.

they had breakfasted together in Lang

Gebhardt's being on the floor above
near the head of the stairs. At p. m.

the Continental Hotel, Mrs. Langtry
was recognized by passers-by, and q
hundred men and women were strug-
giing to get a good look at her face. Mr..
Gebhardt, seeing il WAS hopeless to con-
tinue walking in peace, halted passing
car. and the party took seats therein, re-
turning to the hotel. Mrs. Langtry and
her escort lunched in the public dining
room, and afterwards went out for a
drive. Langtry and Gebhardt peremp-
torily refused to receive represent alive

acquaintance, Gebhardt said there was
not a word of truth in the statement
that had been published relative to his
expulsion from any portion of the the
ster in Boston. He had never seen
Stetson in his life, and added he did not
know him. At Haverly's tonight Lang
