ROMANCE.
Love the Theme of

Interesting Lecture Under

About sixty lovers of the French IAN
guage listened with great interest ana

distinguished novelist ana critic. n
Edouard Rod, as he explained why tn,
love story is the fayorite theme of ru-
mancers and especially of French writ
ers
The lecture was given under the aus

enumeration was delightfully."- clear and

may be termed transparent
In personal appearance. he is profess
serial, and scholarly, and is an ex-
cellent likeness Of his portraits
In his discussion Of the sentimental
novel, or as it is commonly called, the
love story" NJ. Rod first asked the
question, why does the novelist write
and continue TO write more love stories
than anything else?" In answer he
said: Love forms and has always
formed the most important element in

jealousy, and the other passions may
at time dominate, but love is likely to
be the fundamental passion

for the novelist. The intent Of the

A payment of $l1, 799 S57 to the treas
ury on account of the Central Pacific
railroad settlement has not only wiped
out the deficit for March but created a
surplus of somewhat less than $500, 900.
Treasury officials say this will enable
the government to cover any deficit
that may hereafter occur in the ordin-
airy receipts till the end of the fiscal
year, without reducing the cash bal
ance below $3.50, 900 ,OO0 and at the same
time provide for the $4,000, 900 Philip
pine payment. Hut that is not the whole
story. The ordinary receipts thus far
! this month have amounted to s1s,l2&,sS5,
which is far above the requisite million
dollars u day, and indicates a tosal of
about $43OOO,OoO for the entire month.
At this rate, the ordinary receipts, after
paying all war charges, would reduce
the March deficit to 1880. 900.

as for Romeo and Juliet, where would

Love said the lecturer, dominates
French literature more than the litera-
ture of any other nation because the
French novelist and dramatist seeks to
portray life not in its entirely but in
brief and decisive episodes. English and
Russian nOyeists, on the other hand,
give great, inclusive pOrtray8ls of life.
Compare Shakspere and George Eliot
with Racine and Cornelle, and you will
perceive how the latter writer's limited
themselves to certain crucial passages
Of life, drawing from these a true pic
ture Of the whole.
Representative rather than exhaus-
tive is the mark of the French novels.
In the search for representative human
experience, the French novelist has in
variably chosen love, while in the more
diffuse and exhaustive portrayals of the
English and Russian schools. that pas
sion has been less emphasized.
IT said NJ. Rod, in conclusion,
there are, as some contend, two kinds
Of love-that which occurs in real life
and the one that is handled in fiction

lovel is harmful and degrading. But

Two days before Tobacco reached its
highest point in the market, Mr. Aborn
said to Rn acquaintance, In speaking
of operations IL that stock: "Those fell
lows behind the TopaCGo deal are not
to be trusted. They are as liable to
send it away up as not They have
got the whole game in their hands and
some people ara liable to be bitten and
bitten badly. I don't like the way
things look" At the time, the re-
mark attracted no particular attention.
But in the light Of subsequent events,
it bears q very significant meaning.
It is rather an unusual thing for any
broker, more particularly one Of Mr.
AbUrn's shrewdness, to express so much
worriment over the outcome of mark
ket movement in any speciality. There
was 10 reason for 1t, had he not been
dealing in it himself. Sympathy is no
part Of the business, and no one knew
that better than James S. Aborn.
In any event, the crash came with
the announcement of the famous jump
in the stock during the last week in
February, and within an hour after he
had decided to suspend. Then came
the proposition to those customers he
