Paris, Nov. 27.-There was a very
narrow escape Of a repetition of the
terrible disaster of the charity bazaar

many girls from the schools were in
attendance, the cinematograph lamps
were suddenly extinguished and a

and thirtieth anniversary. A compari-
son of it's latest exhibit, selected from
over fourteen thousand statues and
paintings, with that of the Society Of
Arts of 1857, emphasizes beyond words
the growth of public taste. Three
items from the earlier catalogue are:
Two birds in shell work, on rock
decorated with sea-coral; landscape
in human hair; frame Of various de-
vices, cut in velvet with scissors, con-
tanning the Lords Prayer in the COM

predict that, except as curiosities of

know them no more.

For many years the idea has been
cherished at Paris and St. Petersburg
that England, by reason of her vast
industrial and commercial. interests in
the maintenance of peace, would COM
promise anything-that she would not
fight on any ground. The idea was en-
couraged by the long series of British
Weddings at Constantinople, in Al
ghanistan, in south Africa, in Siam, in
China and West Africa The habit OF
making concessions paralyzed British
diplomacy. Now it is intended, it ap-
pears, to let the world see that the lion
has teeth and claws as we'll as re-
sonant roar, even if the beast will have
to go down in defeat.

1t is something unusual for French
and other European writer's to study
American finance. Monsieur R. G. Le
Wy, a well-known financial authority,
has written for the Revue des Deux
Mondes an article upon debt and tax
alton in the United States, in which he
expresses the opinion that the new
taxes resulting from the Spanish war
will make 1t necessary to conduct our
financial affairs with more care and
scrutiny than has been our custom. He
also remarks-what is SO obvious that
it should be commonplace with US
that if we adopt an imperial" policy
our people must be prepared to bear
burdens of taxation similar to those
under which the European nations are
grooming. His goodwill toward us is
shown in his expression Of hope that
the great republic will remain faithful
to the traditions of moderation, wis
dom and reason bequeathed to it by its
illustrious founders.
In each of the last seven decades the
average yield of wheat per acre in

DESERTED BY HER FATHER.
Demented Young Woman Found
Wandering the Streets.

A ease which excited considerable sym
pathy of the police of the Webster avenue
station. the iremen of Engine Company
No. 4. next door, and residents of the
vicinity was that of Amelia Stein, a de-
mented young German woman, W HI was
found wandering ainnlessly about on Cen
trail avenue yesterday afternoon. She was
bare headed and her dress, though
of good material, Indicated that she had
left her home without preparing for even
an ordinary journey. She wore a white
apron with shoulder straps, which crossed
her back, after the German fashion. Her
iaxen hair was loosely coiled about her
head.
At the Webster avenue station house
she spent the afternoon and evening,
walking in and out, expressing a fear that
she was going to be cut UP. Now and
then she sucked at the inner edge of her
hands, after the manner OF an infant
sucking It's thumbs. 1t was noticed that
there was a sort of abrasion of the skin
on that portion of each hand which she
caused by her teeth. Others suggested
hat they had been caused by a morphine
syringe. At one time she asked for a
'drahm of chloroform.' The police were
bending their energies to locate the par
ents of the girl. They finally succeeded.
Her father is connected with Mierdierck's
brewery in West New York. He came
down to see her but refused to take her
home. When he was finally told that he
