ofJeweIs I'm the White House.

OfIeWeAS In tine W mite house.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-One of the So
ciety women of Washington, whose name
is carfulIy withheld by the police, has
ported that she has been robbed of 81, 800
worth of diamonds at a recent White
House reception
The jewels were in a pendant sus-

were women. The lady was standing in
the corridor during the rush, wedged in
among the callers, when two we'll
dressed women, one in front and the
other behind her, recognized each other
and approached. They met just where
the lady was standing, and in the most
ELUSIVE manner reached over her should
er and shook hands vigorously. 1t WAS
all over in moment, and the two women
went away, but, alas, as soon as they dsap-
peared the victim noticed that her pend
ant was missing. She notified the de-

CHATEAU FRONTENAC.

primitive, hotels of the upper town.
So the railroad company added to its
string of hotels between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans this one at Quebec.
1t was almost crime to make room for
it by tearing down the old chateau
which had overlooked the St. Lawrence
from the heights for a century, but the
comfort of the tourist must take prece-
dence of everything in a city whose
bread and butter the tourist supplies.
The new hotel is one of the few attempts
at modernization i'll old Quebec. Mont
calm's headquarters still stand ON st.
Louis street. They are degraded to the
uses of a restaurant, but the original
building is intact. The old wall about
the city is still standing, altered only
by the hand of time except at the three
points where the necessities of traffic
caused the three old gates to be replaced
by structures of more modern design, of
greater width and height. Outside the
city gates are the famous Martello tow
ers, witnesses of Montcalm' IS defeat by
the British under Wolfe. The citadel on
the heights is changed. There is fine
drill hall for the militia on the ST.
Louis road. Below the citadel the Duff
ferin terrace, named in honor of the
governor who made it SO recently the
splendid promenade that it is, over
hangs the lower town and commands
the frozen river. But the tortuous streets
are unchanged. The splendid basilica
looks out still over the square where the
new Hotel de Vile is to stand; the
Laval university stands gloomy but i'm
pressive on one of the city's hills, and
the population still half rolls, half
slides, down the steep roadways be-
tween the upper and the lower town.
1t is in the lower town that the tour
ist finds most to interest him. Here was
once the seat of lively shipping trade.
Now under the frowning walls of the
fortified upper town houses are falling
to decay, tho paving of the streets is
rotting slowly, and wharves molder and
decay. Commercial Quebec ceased to be
of Importance years ago, and the spa
cious Princess Louise dock is empty al
most all of the 10 months.
But the lower town is the home Of the
primitive French Canadian population,
which has not learned and has no ambi-
ton to know the language of the con-
queror The advertising signs which
stare at you from every side are all in
French.
Even if you know French intimately,
however, you may fare but poorly for
conversation with the natives if you
come here for the carnival Canadian
French is not Partisan French or even
the French of the Ecole Berlitz. 1t is a
patois filled with strange local terms and
thoroughly Ineligible to the native
only. GRANT HAMILTON

DardaneIles Must Be opened.

ST. PETERsBURG,4J 31.-The No
vosti says on the subject of the al
legged Russo Turkish treaty: Russia
can guarantee the existence of Turkey
only if reform, such as the opening of
the Dardanelles to Russian warships,
be offered. 1t is impossible to adduce
any valid reason why Russia should
be forced to lock up her feet in the
Black sea. 1t is simply a policy of
outrageous violence to which Russia
submits because she loves peace, but
the prohibition is to disappear.
