ger" Those words damaged such meter as
there was to the composition, but they
made Paulus known all over the world, and
caused him to be honored by request from
the Government to stop his song. The
Boulanger march and Others of his songs
are spoken of as the actual compositions of
Paulus, but it is probable that somewhere
in the background there is a tame composer
who does the work for him.
Boulanger's failure and death hurt
Paulus, although he has long since ceased
to sing the Bouianger March. While the
ambitious General was someone with fut-

was destined to overthrow republic with
a song. That was fiattering and it drew.

Artist Doe. Not Mind a stapbinr,

Here's short tale which shows tina.
some artists really are different from ordin-
airy men, even in these days: Mr.. r. O.
Anthony, who has good picture called
''The Spanish Desert" in the Academy, wa.
walking along Thirteenth street, near Third
avenue, late one night of this week, when a
beggar asked him for money. With a view
to taking the edge off his refusal Mr..
Anthony remarked. in friendly tones: ''I'm
working this side of the street myself"
The beggar made an irrelevant remark to
the effect that some men would not give
cents to their own mothers, stabbed Mr..
Anthony three times in the chest, then
turned and ran. Realizing that it was more
important to have his chest fixed up than to
get revenge, the wounded man aimed an in
accurate kick at the beggar and went to his
rooms. He called in DR.. Higgins, of East
Seventeenth street, who sewed up cut
three inches wide, just over his heart,
which mi ght have demanded funeral, and
took care of two smaller cuts also we'll
aimed for the heart. Next day found Mr.
Anthony gay and festive at his work with
never a thought of bothering the police,
and rather proud than otherwise of having
a stitched up chest to show to callers.

American Artists Are Unhappy,

The exhibition of pictures has stirred ND
art and art talk. Artists in America, espe-
ciaily the struggling ones, have very much
One young artist who some day will be rich
and who then will think art is on very
fine footing, related this week with much
bitterness the sad tale of Emile FranZen
Mr. Franzen, called by his humorous fellow
students Sweeney The Sweed, when he
lived in the little Hotel de la Tourelle in
the Latin Quarter worked hard for three
years and turned out many pictures. They
were sufficiently modern, realistic and dit
terent from old masters to please almost
ANYBODY. Mr.. Franzen had an offer of
So, GOO for the lot of several hundred but he
said no, he would auction off those pictures
in their fine frames and get $40, 900 or Si2,-
OOO He auctioned them off and got 81, 600
for all. That left him about S4OO to the
bad, as the frames cost him that amount
more than was realized by the auction. The
rising artist who told this narrowing tale of
unappreciated art declared that he would
strive in his next great work to strike the
morbid fancy of some prosperous saloon
keeper.
American artists believe that Americana
would not be SO very anxious to get French
names OH their walls if they knew how
many French painters look upon American
BUYERS.
itOh, don't look at those things" says the
Paris artist when you enter his studio.
sMy picture is in the other room; I'm doing
those to sell to Americans. The Paris
artist of certain stamp, like the intelli-
gent Japanese, turns out such trash as he
thinks will appeal to barbarous America

Delmonico's Has n Place In Politics.

1t is curious, and wise men with time to
spare have commented on the part which
Delmonico seems to play in politics. The
rule seems to be that men who went to Del
monico's before they entered politics stop
going there as soon as they become states
men with vague idea that such course
will appeal to their constituents, while
those who did not go to the one fashionable
eating place before, take up the habit when
political success has proved their greatness.
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, for instance, with
his bushy head SO closely initiating the
American bison, may be seen there at any
time. Another face which goes in and out
of Delmonico's constantly just now is that
of Senator Brice, of Ohio. This week, and
for weeks past, his curly hair has been a
feature of both rooms. Those who recognize
seem interested in him and wonder whv he
is so much alone

everyone believes that she will strike the
back Of her head with full force and receive
serious injury. The actor who plays the
part of armand, however, is trained to catch
her outstretched hand at the critical mo-
ment and save her head. The thing as
Bernhardt has arranged it is as much of q
circus act as the fall of woman in tights
from one trapezs to another, and it pro-
duced much the same effect on the specta-
tors. Should the actor fail to catch her
hand the great 3ernhardt would probably
have to 60 to bed for some time. Also, as
anyone will believe who knows the great
woman's temper, it is safe to say that the
actor making the mistake would not feel
exactly up to his work for some time either.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIaPATCH.1
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Bernhardt, the
great, who pays more attention to details
than an average person with reputation
yet to be made, has honored this town by
inventing new fall to amuse it. Falls are
very important things to tragic actresses
One woman here won some smiles by rolling
all the way down flight of steps. but no
actress has equaled Barnhardt's marvellous
methods of keeling over. This new fall, of
which the cut gives but faint idea, eclipses
all of her previous efforts. Hitherto the
great actress, like others, has been obliged
to fall in such a wav as to make it possible
for her to 60 on living and acting immedi-
ately afterward, and that was found to take
out some of the reality.
In Camille" she avoids that necessity,
and when in the last act she falls over dead

midst. His name is Iturbide, pronounced
'Itterbiddy," for reasons doubtless salts
factory to the pronouncers. AS seen in
Delmonico's cafe, this young man, who has
languished in Mexican dungeons for polit-
ical reasons, looks rather more Francois L.
sort of a person than the modern prince
idea.
He is remarkably big, which is not ex-
pected of princes. has a yellow beard, broad
shoulders, and, in fact, might, if occasion
arose, even make good Broadway police
man. Like all princes and great men gen.
orally, he wears frock coats and double
breasted Iaistcoats.

offered to thrash so many of England's tall
men, will now feel bigger than ever. The
picture of his mother is the wonderful crea-
tion the marvelously fiat picture, with some
things out Of drawing to make 1t fatter,
which has been more talked about and done
more to advertise the artist than anything
except his famous peacock room. The story
as it comes from London says that the paint
ing has been bought for the Louvre, but
that is mistake, as artists do not see their
pictures in the Louvre. They are put there
only when the artists are dead. The dumpy
little yellow-haired woman who manages
the cafe in the Rue Gragnon and who has
picture of herself by Sargent, hangs on to
the painting in the face of liberal offers
because she hopes to see herself hanging up
in the Louvre when Sargent is dead. Mr..
Whistler's mother will probably hang IN
the Luxembourg for the present.

Monsieur Paulus In Town.

This N. Paulus, who has come from Paris,
will interest New York for some time. He
himself is an interesting creature, and if he
succeeds in making genuine American
success, it will prove that we have grown to
be more cosmopolitan than we were when
Judic came over here. The resemblance be-
tween the methods of Judic and Paulus is
genuine, for both depend for their success,
not on what they say or sing, but on their
way of saving it. Judic has fine horror
of America, which she considers bad place
for talent to go to.
The Boulanger march, by which Paulus is
chiefly known to Americans and which he
called ''Coming back from the Revue" was
only one of number of his half pathetic,
half comic songs, until Boulanger's popu-
larity gave him the idea of inserting in one
place the words ''Le brave General Boulan-

poleon of finance. Like his namesake, Mr.
Ives apparently has no idea of remaining in
banishment. He is seen again in hansoms,
in the Murray Hill Cafe and elsewhere. He
has been written about lately &c one much
infatuated with certain opera singer,
although that is very old ssoEY indeed,
and soon his quick young eyes behind the
old-fashioned gold spectacles will be as
familiar sight as in oldcn times. Mr. Ives
proves the theory that the American public
is too busy to remember little details.

Football the National Game.

The football talk which has filled up the
time since the great game, and the tremen-
dous interest taken in the contest outside of
college circles, makes it plain that football
has been definitely adopted by the public at
large. Those directly interested in the
game are especially impressed and gratifed
by the change in tone on the part of news
papers. Conscientious and accurate report
ers still describe all rough play. but denun-
citation of the game has been almost entirely
confined this year to police weeklies,
grieved that football should be so much
more leniently treated than prize fighting.

These pictures should interest everyone,
but they are printed more particularly for
the benefit of Senator Farwell, of Chicago,
and his brother. 1t was from Senator Far
well that Mrs. Kelley got, quite recently,
her first lesson in poker playing: She saw
the beauties of that noble game, for in spite
of her years she is very young and appre-
ciative. Mr.. Farwell's brother, who, like
everyone else. was much impressed with
Mrs. Keeley's wit and vivacity, confded to
her his belief that she ought to have gone
on the stage.
This was considered good in view of the
fact that Mrs. Kelley was acting in 1925 and
is as we'll known in England as Ellen Terry.

A Boom in Billiard Playing.

Local billiard players are coming to the
front again, and tomorrow a tournament
among what may be termed the local nov-
ices will be commenced at Davis rooms on
Fifth avenue. 1t is pleasing TO see such a
fine and admirable game as billiards make
progress and without hesitation L say that
nobody has done more to popularize the
game in Pittsburg than Harry Davis, and
his efforts have been of the purest and most
honorable kind. In this instance he has
placed his costly and spacious rooms at the
disposal of the local players until their
tourney is ended That the tourney will be
successful is almost a certainty, and it may
be that it will introduce to the public fu-
ture champion. At any rate the tournament
is worthy of encouragement, as its object is
not for financial gain, but simply to compare
the merits of the local players. Each con-
testant, j think, posts up a certain amount
as guarantee, which is a very good arrange
ment.
And while am speaking of billiards let
me say a word or two about the big pool
contest that is to take place in the East End
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
Two such players as Powers and Clearwater
ought to attract good audiences. It is to
be hoped that both contestants will play to
win, and if they do, there will certainly be
some remarkable pool playing.
The Trotting Track Frauds.
It is pleasing to note that the gentlemen
whose duty it is to hear and pronounce on
charges of fraud among trotting horse
owners and drivers are bent on Furnishing
the guilty. ID uring the week the Board of
Review have made an example of the owner
and driver of the famous horse Temple Bar.
II will be remembered that the horse last
summer was heavily backed by the public
TO win race at Cleveland. He lost the
first three heats in way that aroused sus-
picion and the judges took down Driver
Spears and put up another man. Then
Temple Bar went away and won the next
three heats The Cleveland track au-
thorities there and then expelled DIR.
Sayles, the owner of the horse, and Spears
his driver. The former appealed, but the
expulsion stands. The public generally
will hail with delight all efforts that are be-
ing made to purge the trotting track for dis
honesty. Trotting is making remarkable
strides in this country. but it will cease to
do SO if the public contests are to be tainted
with fraud and dishonesty.

Even the Seventh Heaven Located.

The first heaven is distant from the earth
$50 miles The second is distant from the
first 100 miles. Above that-certainly as
high as the eighteenth heaven-the distance
between each is 80 miles. The seventh
heaven which everyone knows is a
''mighty nice place." is therefore within
1000 miles of this wicked world. Robert
Dale Owen when on earth was a capable
newspaper man, so it is doubtless owing to
his investigations that the author is in
debted for the facts in the case. An inquiry
as to the temperature of the heavens above
resulted, after careful observations by the
spirit reporters, in the final statement that
it was "mild and delightful, after spirit
journey through polar regions
The spiritual reporters were positive and
emphatic in the declaration that the world
they now live in was real one, and Its In
habitants are those who have left this earth
ly sphere, with ali their instincts, affections,
passions, vices and virtues. There they
congregate in heavenly cities. or dwell
apart in the blessed country as they for

than many of them existing in this transl-
tory life, but the majority are better and
are constantly progressing to higher
heavens. In the spirit world the people
who have "pa.sed on" live real and active
lives, dwell in bona fide houses and work
with brains and skill and tools for use and
beauty. By this it will be seen that-con-
trary to orthodox teachings-the angels are
not doomed to play upon golden harps for
