an extent that newcomers usually pick them out as the real thing (another New York phrase, much used in describ- ing ones friends).
 The time when Newport had an intel- lectual air given by such men as Ban croft, the historian, and the quiet, rich Rhode Island families, is past The chief interest this season. is the large collection of titled foreigners, most of them genuine if impecunious, gathered there. Mrs. Potter Palmer, who has Prince Gantacazene ill tow, and Mrs. George $. Scott, who has captured the earl of Yarmouth as guest, are the social lions, and both these ladies are "upstarts," from the Newport point of view.
 By comparison, Prince Casimir Lu- bomirsky, Count Della Gherardesca, Count Luzetta and half dozen others are almost cast in the shade by the earl of Yarmouth and by the earl of Don oughmore, who is also coming to Mrs. Scott's house. To have two earls as guests, though only for short time, is a costly business. There must be con- stant festivities, with never lack of guests, and money must be spent like water to display the lions to the best advantage. It will cost Mrs. Scott $100,- 900 to foot the seasons entertainment bills, but she is enjoying every minute.
 The older set-the families whose names have been familiar for years are saying that they don't care much for titles anyway; which is case of sour grapes, besides being untrue.

Five hundred years have rolled by. and if is only within the last decade that ii has been cleaned, aud Florence, with more art treasures than any city in the world, has this one added. When all Italy rang with the fame of the great poet, Florence reeog- nized her mistake.

that trip was all mistake, and Ii he had lived after Luther instead of before he never would have gone. However, he enjoyed it, because it gave him chance to immortalize his Beatrice, and he got glimpses of her now and then. Dante did scale Paradise at last, the canon said, but one couldn't see that it nude him any happier, or that he ever made that giri9i1e him any better.
 Dante went for a second girb even when he could skip up and down and see the first one, with somebody who had lived there for ages to show him round. When Dante found he could see through her he bade her good-by and told her he would write of her what never was writ of woman"
 In after years he was sorry that the second one hadn't been as easy to see through, for it is said she led him an awful life, and at last they parted. Then his politics were on the wrong side, just as his girls were, and he was banished. When in exile Dante had, as he so bitterly expressed it, ito ascend the stairs of other men" but he thought the silver lining to the blackness about him was that Gemma could not come stepping after him.
 Poor Gemma! She had very hard life, with seven little children (born in seven successive years1 to look after, and a husband skipping away where other men didn't go, making acquaint- ances with people who were, to say the least, uneanny, and trying to glorl1y a girl who never would look at him and everybody knew she wouldn't; and then naming one of her babies for that shadowy girl, to whom his heart was fastened.
 At one time Dante was condemned to be buried alive. After years of exile the seigniority of Florence would per- init his return if he would walk the streets of the city in garb of hnmlll- stion and do penance in the Church of St. John. Dante's answer was tipped with scorn. He would tolerate no shame would never enter Florence except Tn honor-in any corner of the world he could gaze at the sun and stars and see visions of Paradise and Beatrice
 However high Dante's name is writ ten as a poet, as man life was fall- ure. In deiection and bitterness he died at Ravenna in 1921. The torch sci blazing so early in fife died out al 56.

901 LEARNED English canon has R{ recently Iectured in Boston on A A Dante. He ranked him above all poets. The world might have another Shakespeare, but never another Dante" It may be so, but we haven't yet. Prob ably this preference is all because Dante wrote of things divine, dear to the heart of a ehurehman. Wild Will Shakes peare, with his playwriting and play acting, would hardly commend himself to q canon.
 Ne know Dante painted with mas ter hand the agonies of hell, the purify ing punishment of sin, and if we could soar on his wings, give us visions of Heaven.
 Grant him all the canon claimed as a poet, it is as a man we would tell his story, and of the inspiration which gave Us the Divine Comedy.
 He loved very nice girl (niee girl means q beauty-English, you know). The love began when he was leaving his ninth year and she beginning hers. As they grew, his love grew-it was as if 8 divine atfiatus had been breathed up- on him and disembodied his spirit.
 The girl wouldn't have him, married another man and soon died. Dante felt so badly about it that his spirit went right down into the Inferno and there saw all those dreadful things the eanons talk about, and it was then that he came up and wrote that book, painting things down there a great deal worse than the Bible does. He wasn't satisfied and down he went again to travel through purgatory. The eanons say

He was billed on one or two occasions as ssSWipes the News boy in small ring fights, and if he had shown genius in the field, might have made fighting his trade. But he was not a success as a pugilist, and was near starvation, long, lanlly lad with the wolfsh mouth of the hungry, when he did-or didn't; the fact is in dispute jump off the Brooklyn bridge.

Esterhazy COnfesses.

Paris. June 3.-It is practically adj
mitted the decision of the court of cas-
sation will be complete acquittal of
Dreyfus without an order for n new
trial. This means that Dreyfus will be
free man on Sunday.
Paris, June 3.-Maj. Esterhazy. who
has been accused repeatedly of writing
the Dreyfus bordereau, has admitted
his guilt. In company with conf
dental friend he called at the office of
the London Chronicle Friday night and
confessed the authorship. He declared
ii was written under instructions and
that the chief of the army, who, he said,
had abandoned him, knew of the entire
affair and shared the responsibility.
This fact. Esterhazy declared, he could
prove positively. Efforts. he said, had
been made to secure his silence, but
now neither threats nor emoluments
would deter him.

GOLD GOES ABROAD.
shipment of $1,OOO,OOO to Europe by
New York Bank Surprises
Wall street.

New York. June 1.-The announce
ment made late Thursday afternoon
that the National City bank would ship
Sl,000,000 in gold to Europe on the
steamship Lucania Saturday was sur
prise to Wall street. Although sterling
exchange has ruled rather high. il has
been maintained by bankers that there
was little likelihood of any gold ex-
ports at the present time. This view,
which has been held by some of the
best authorities in the banking bust
ness, has led to the belief that the
present shipment was arranged by the
bears in the market, who have been
industriously working for lower prices.
Another view, taken by conservative
men, is that the United States is produc-
ing $60,000,000 in gold annually and now
has on hand more of the precious metal
than any other country, and can there
fore easily afford TO send several mil
lions to Europe

his supporters.
