How He Reconstructed Ancient BuildinA
Into tho Modern Foatainebleau.
The modern Fontainebleau dates
from the gallant knight Grant Francis
/. A giant among his courtiers, a
graceful horseman, an expert wrestler,
a dexterous swordsman, Francis was
hailed as the glass of fashion and the
mirror of chivalry, says the Edinburgh
Review. Succeeding to the throne at a
moment when the young nobility Of
France was wearied of the economies
Of 'sLe Bon Roi Louis Douze,'' he en-
joyed the means as well as the oppor-
tunity Of indulging his love OF lavish
display. Deeply read in chivalric ro-
mances, he had framed to himself an
ideal of knightly king, and, in the
opinion of his fatterers, he united the
love of glory and highbred courtesy OF
Roland with the virtues Of the most
constant of lovers, Armadis de Gaule.
It was Francis and the brilliant
Pleiad of artists whom he gathered
around him who were the true creators
of the modern Fontaine bleau. Every

1t was Francis l. who reconstructed
the ancient buildings and added ten
fold to their extent and decorative
splendor. Vast sums of money were
expended on the palace which he called
s'mon Fontainebleau,'' his beloved
''Cher Moi" and which was now trans
formed from a feudal castle into ''la
vraie maison des Rois,'' to quote the
words of Napoleon L., la demeure des
siecIes."
All the forces which had revolution
lied society were reflected in the
changes effected at Fontaine bleau.
italian influences, grace and refine
ment of manners, reverence for classic
al antiquity-everything, in short. that
inspired the renaissance movement
are imprinted on the style and the form
of the architecture and the decoration.

EVENTS IN SPORT.

What Jack Dempsey Thinks Of the Coming
Fight Between Corbett and Mitchell.
Jack Dempsey, out of date as a pugil
istic operator, Knows the game thor
oughly, and in commenting on the Mitch
ell Corbett affair picks the American tc
win and gives his reasons for 1T. Said
he in recent interview: "Corbett will
win. He will not rush in and attempt tc
annihilate Mitchell, but will take his
',me about it. Corbett has everything
1. !. his favor. He is taller, younger, more
experienced, hits harder blow
"You don't think he is more expert
enced than MITCHELL"
Exactly. Mitchell has had very little
ring experience, although [ know con.
trary opinion prevails. Most Of his If
fairs were four or six round glove con-
tests"

II can't agree with john" said the
famous NonpareiI. Il know Fitzsim-
mons Eve inches probably won for him
his fight with me-"
In reply to suggestion that he had
once challenged Mitchell himself, Demp-
sey said that he had, but at that time
Mitchell was naiddlewejght.
Dempsey said that he would be glad
to fight either Mysterious Billy Smith or
Dick Burge, the English middleweight,
but just now it was impossible to get
any club to offer purse, as it seems i'm.
possible for them to bring off fight.

Speaking Of fighters hands, Dempsey

but normal stomach in healthy con-
dition can digest salt mackerel with
out discomfort, or at least unpleasant
reminders of it's presence. 1t is fish
that am very fond of, but if ] eat of
it even after drinking moderately it
causes an attack of indigestion. My
only theory of it's supposed popularity
as breakfast dish for one who has
taken q drop too much is this: IT'S salti-
ness excites thirst for great quantities
Of cold water, which is, in my opinion,
Of real benefit to a stomach fevered
with alcoholic irritation. 1t enables
Him to drink water copiously until the
stomach is cleaned and cooled, and the
alcohol in his tissues becomes so di-
luted that it is the more easily elimi-
mated from his system. AS for its ali
mentary value in such cases, can't
see that it has any. The milk toast
would be all right, but salt mackerel

is TO force them upon stomach al

CHICAGO, June 26-The unwilling of the
granite monument to the memory of the
live anarchists, August Spies, Albert Par
sons, Adolph Fischer, Louis Lngg and
George Engle, which took place ut VALID

mony. More than $500 people assembled
at the burial ground to stamp once more
with their approval the sentiment and ac-
lions OF the men whom the state of Illinois
found guilty Of treason and put to death.
The crowd was orderly and the few
policemen under whose protection the cere-
mony took place found little to do beyond
Keeping the sympathizers with anarchy in
line as they surged through the gates to
the Enclosure. 1t was a crowd of Germans,
Poles and Bohemians. Scarcely an Ameri-

carried on mainly in foreign tongues
The character of the speeches could not
be called incendiary, but rather that Of
mild protest against the existing order OF
