Effort of the Peace Congress- President to
Quiet Quarrcling Americans.
From the Berliner Boersen-Courisr.
The peace congress, which was closed in
Rome on Monday, could not end its proceed
ings without a quarrel. On Saturday the con-
gress considered the proposal Of Mr.. Hodgson
Pratt that professors in universities should
incuicate in the minds of students under their
instruction the principles approved by the
congress. The Englishman, Shape, pronounced
such action on the part of instr tors to be i'm
possible. The American, Samuel Beiler, an
swered:
"1n America the professors are ready to
serve as apostles Of the universal peace. Even
the most distinguished of our learned men
would not shirk such duty
The American, Holmes. said that Mr. Boiler
had made a mistake and did not understand
what he was talking about
what! Don't know what / am talking
about! shouted Mr.. Boiler. angrily. ''P Why,
l myself am professor"
"At what university asked Mr. Holmes
I'm Philadelphia"
"ln Philadelphia? Well. know graduates of
this university who can neither read nor write ~
The president Of the congress had listened
to this war of words, which was carried on in
English, with touching helplessness. for he un-
derstood no word OF English. But at Mr.
Holmes last outbreak he made this effort to
reconcile the contestants:
BE quiet, be quiet, please. gentlemen. That
sort OF thing happens in all countries
The proposal of Mr.. Hodgson Pratt was in
dorsed, and In most universities of the world
the universal peace may soon be taught: surely

young men are fast following the American
ideas in whiskers. Our judges in England are
for the most part clean shaver. The barristers
for the most part wear the mutton chops. 1t il
seldom one sees a long-whiskered man in any

who went for the Prince of Wales in the late
scandal over there, wears a long beard. He is
the only one of any note that recall who docs.

Aliister pointed out to me. His style of

to wear a mustache is to comb it over the
mouth, then twist the ends or wax them. A
mustache then is an ornament The American

A very popular but blind count lives in
Champs Elysees. Being witty and musical his
society is much sought after. He LET, Paris

a fashionable marchioness, who was preparing
to 60 to fancy ball She begged to be excused,
but as he had an important message to deliver
he was shown in, and being, of course, blind he
was asked to take seat in her boudoir. Gossip
ensued and during all the time the marchion-
ess, assisted by her maid, executed the mys-
teries of her toilet
Being ready to descend to her carriage the
count stated that he had been absent in Lon
don and had undergone successful operation
for cataract and could now as well as the

into her carriage without even an au revoir to
her unwelcome visitor.
