Automobilism

Automobilism, or horseless carriage driy-
ing, has become so popular in Vienna and
Paris that it is reported that the cab horse
as well as the thoroughbred will soon be
things of the past. A few months ago ac-
cidents become SO common in Paris that
the authorities obliged the motorman, or
chauffeur as he is incorrectly dubbed
be permitted to drive his motor carriage
through the streets. The Duchess d'Uzes,
who was formerly Mile. de Rochechouart
Morlemart, lives in a hotel, rs Avene des
Champs -Eysees. She belongs to the Au-
tomobile club and owns and operates a
horseless carriage. The other day she was
examined as to her ability to perform the
duty of motorman. The judges were ap-
pointed by the prefecture of police-two
experts and an engineer of the Points ct
Chaussees. All the Paris papers give hui
morous accounts as to the way this par
tcular examination was conducted. They
tell how Nine. la Chauffeuse, as they called
her, turned on steam and went sailing up
the street with the judges running behind
and how she demanded her diploma in
automotor carism, as she threatened to
run them down If they refused. But
whether these tales are true or not, the
duchess came out of the ordeal successful
ly, and now has written permit to drive
her horseless carriage about Paris at her
pleasure.

IN FOREIGN LANDS
The Cost of the Dreibund

Two events have recently occurred In
Europe which have an important bearing
upon the continuance of the triple league
Italy. The German Kaiser who in his
speeches has usually euogized the univer-
sal peace-preservin qualities of the league,
avoided all reference to 1t the other day by
an official address delivered in Berlin.
Moreover, the Hungarian parliamentary
delegation which is at work patching up
the bond of union with Austria, has abso-
lutely refused to commit itself to the Drei-
hund program. 1t is reported in Berlin
that the ministry has received positive and
authoritative assertions from Rome that
Italy at an early date will withdraw from
the alliance. AS to the Hungarians, it is
said in Vienna that they no longer regard
the Dreibund as a peace-preserving in
stitution, as they see all government help
to domestic industries wiped out by the
enormous expenditures that are necessary
to keep the empire on its agreed war foot
ing. The apprehension that arose from
the Turko-Greek war required budget of
over 30,000,C00 fiorins for munitions and
Notifications; at present there Is in addi-
tion to the budget of 5000 900 forms. The
Austran-Germans are silent concerning
the benefits of the Dreibund, while the
Hungarian press of all parties-Slavs.
Clerical, Agrarians and Germans-unani-
mously agree that the empire in fulfilling
its pledge to the league is crushing out
every branch of domestic industry.

quarter to half an hour. The spectacle
does not seem to become in any way mon
otonous to the Spaniard, who sits out the
killing of six, or, on great occasions, ten
bulls, without being satiated.
Every American you meet in Spain seems
to have seen at least part ia bullfight
and he generally tells you that he has no
wish whatever to see any more. The ma
tional sport" of Spain does not strike him as
being sport at all. He declares he is too
fond of horses to allow himself to watch
them being slaughtered in so brutal a man
ner. And sport to the American mind also
implies something in the nature of a fair
contest. In the bullfight the contest is even
more one-sided than it would appear to be
from any description, however graphic.
Last Sunday the spectacle continued for
fully two hours without any hurt to the
human performers, save perhaps bruises to
the pcadors, who were seven in number, ac-
cording to the program, and each of whom
seemed to take his turn regularly until the
end There were a dozen banderilos and
chulos, all employed in the ring at once
OF espadas there were three, each of whom
consequently had two bulls to kill In ap-
pearance these highly paid and much ad
mired swordsmen suggested the trick rider
of a circus much more than an athlete.
There can be no question but that the
spectacle of the slaughter of the horses is
as disgracing as it is disgusting. Yet Span
ish ladies of the highest birth and education
watch the scene unmoved, if not with visi-
BILE satisfaction. Originally an amateur
sport, for the last $50 years bullfighting has

The Last Direct Descendant

The fetes just closed In Florence in honor
of Amerigo Vespucci and Paolo Toscanelli
have brought into prominence little old
woman who lives in a small cottage not far
out from the City of Flowers on the Via
Toscana. She is the Countess America Ia
Ion, the last direct descendant of the great
explorer, whose name she bears. She is
just below medium height, with mass of
iron-gray hair, large deep-set black eyes
and features that in her youth must have
been very beautiful to look upon. She

self with great dignity. She is a pensioner
of Spain. Her husband was Viscount Ia
Ion, Frenchman, well known in Paris and
Versailles at the time of the second empire
They were both very wealthy then, and
kept grand establishment with a stable
of over forty horses. The viscount fought
IN the Crimea, in the italian campaign Of
Napoleon Ill, and finally met his death
at Solferino. His demise, followed by the
fall of the second empire, completely ru-
ined her financially, and for a time she
lived in London as a pensioner of ex-Em-
press Eugene. She was still there in 1876,
when her brother died childless in Florence;
so many valuable documents and heirlooms
were lost for the time to the world; after
her death they will undoubtedly appear for
sale in the curios dealers shops at Flor
ence. Among her possessions, however, are

The bull himself dies a far more noble
death than he would seem to deserve after
his brutality to the unorfending horses
His torture is divided into three acts, the
pricking by the mounted picadors coming
first. Next, while the horse lies prone in
the arena, he is set upon by the bander-
illos. Last of all comes the espada, to the
weird sound of shrill trumpet. His OBJ
ject is to kill the bull forthwith. There
are various methods of doing this, but the
fashionable one at present. which was
used in every instance last Sunday, is to
reach over the bulls head as it lowers its

Baron Dimsdale,s Title

Baron Dimsdale, who died in London the
other day, seems to have given his news
paper biographers much veXation because
his name could not be found in the infallible
Burke's Peerage. Nevertheless Baron
Dimsdale had most peculiar right to bear
his title, for it was conferred upon an an
cestor by the Czarina Catherine of Russia.
About the middle of the last century small
pox ragged in Russia, and Empress Gather
Inc the Great, hearing that the system of

Russia. The ambassador, however, might

that such practitioner was "even better

dale was selected to go. He made the jour-
