The President Of France
{ From Harper's Weekly. !

NJ Loubet seems to be a kind Of in
genu among rulers-with all the sweet
simplicity and none of the arts lie
visited the little town of Montelimal
one day last week, and all the place
was en- fete. His old peasant mother,
trembling with emotion, waited on q
balcony specially arranged for her,
where. when the procession was over
her son was to Join her. But the Presi.
dent, as he was driving by, saw the
old, wrinkled face looking down al
him, and in spite Of the procession,
which was in danger Of being spoiled.
and in spite all the pomp and the cere
mOny he was expected to observe, hC
stopped his carriage, jumped out, and,
running up the balcony, caught the
trembling little old lady in his arms
hugging and kissing her before all the
world with boyish glee.
Somehow, the story seems better than
any fairy tale, and the President twice
over better prince.

A WATER TRUST.
Efforts Under Way to Combine Saratoga
Mineral Spring Properties.

New York, April 30 The latest in
the way of trusts is the Spring Water
Trust. A syndicate has been formed
for the purpose OF acquiring all the
principal mineral spring properties in
Saratoga and running them under one
company 80 be known as the OOnsoi
ated Mineral Springs Company Of
Saratoga Springs The banking firm
of Thomas & Post, q Broadway, un-
dertook to underwrite the bonds Of the
company. The scheme is not fully ma
tured for the reason that two of the
principal spring companies. the Vichy
and the Paterson. have thus far refused
to give options on their properties to
the proposed new company. The syndi'
cate has, however. secured options on
the properties of the Geyser. Hawthorn.
Congress, Empire. Kissiugen, Lincoln,
Victoria, Champion. Carlsbad. Exec.
sior, Red, High Rock, Magnetic, Royal
Imperial, Pavilion, United States,
Hamilton, Columbian, Washington,
and several other Saratoga Spring com
panies. These options continue until
May ii, until which time the prices on
the properties, fixed by the present
owners, may be accepted, or the syndi-
date may make other offers to the own.
ers. 1t was said today that the greatest
difficulty in carrying through the deal
is occasioned by tine abnOrmally high
valuations which the spring owners
put upon their property. The spring
owners insist that if the Saratoga Springs
are consolidated in one company the
value of each property to the new COM
pany will be fifty per cent. above its
separate value, instead of ten per cent
To this proposition the syndicate says
20 the spring owners: Come in on
reasonable terms or fight the trust "
II the scheme goes through the new
company will be incorporated immed-
lately with the idea of making Saratoga
the American Carlsbad. The erection
or big sanitarium is comtemp plated
where the waters must be taken &C.
cording to the prescription of attending
physicians or not taken at all. IL is
also contemplated to turn the valley
in which the principal springs are into
great park, of which the present Con-
gress Spring Park shall be a part If
this plan is carried out a park about
seven miles long and about mile wide
in some parts, will extend from the
Geyser Spring on the south to the Ex-
celsior Spring ON the north, passing
right through the centre Of the village.
The sale of the water in bottles and
in barrels will be pushed, and besides
a comparatively new industry will be
developed. This new industry is the
collecting in cylinders under pressure
of the natural carbonic acid gas from
the springs for commercial use. This
is now done as Saratoga to limited
extent. Carbonic acid is cheaply made,
but ii has been found a natural product
Of the Saratoga Springs can be sold
cheaper than the manufactured article.
Those who are behind the syndicate
have employed experts to look into the
possibilities of this industry at Sara
toga and the experts have expressed the
opinion that practically all the oarbOnic
acid gas used in this country can be
obtained from the waste Of the Saratoga

lie Novel of the Day.

The talk of the month in metropolitan
literary circles is The Open Question. the
novel by the we'll known American actress
Elizabeth Robins The book was publish
ed in England last autumn, and came to
America with the stamp of approval of
the best English critics. The noted artist
Whistler, has pronounced it, in his esti-
nation, the novel Of the age, and at some
time or other we may look for an edition
with appropriate illustrations from his
brush ''Dr. kelner," the great Ger
man savant, is another celebrity who was
struck at first sight with the artistic pow
er of the novel. As soon as he had read
it. he wrote to Miss Robins, asking that he
be permitted to translate it into German.
With such European record behind this
book, ii is of interest to note its reception
IN the uthor' $ native country. New ork
critics are very much divided in their
opinion, but all agree that it is a novel of
unusual power, and one that is destined
to be talked about through the length and
breadth of the land. One critic said that
it was one of the great American novels
Another was certain that it was anything
but that. and while admitting the genius
of the writer, condemned the book severe
ly. The opinion of other critics have

have all given he book the full discussion
it merited. The novel which has created
such literary sensation on both sides of
the Atlantic is called "a Tale of Two

American family that has degenerated
through long continued intermarriages
and inherited disease. This family-the
Ganos-were prominent Southern people
and We're reduced to poverty by the war,
after which they removed to small town

the greater part of the scene is laid. Ethan

al, his inst cousin, Is almost N poverty.
Matters are ut such a stage when Ethan,
after years of European life comes back
to Mrs. Gduo and Val. 1t is the first time
Nal has seen hmm. She has heard niue Ii
about him has written to him, and has
dreamed OF seeing him. She falls in love
with him at first sight, and he returns her
love. Outlined briefly, the points of the
tragedy that follow are these. They have
decided TO marry, when Ethan has long
conversation with Nal's father, who knows
nothing Of his daughter 5 love for Ethan.
Val overhears this conversation. in which
John Gano points out the curse that inter
marrying has brought upon the Gano AM
lily, the fact that consumption is heIedi-
tary on both sides Of The house, and eX-
presses the opinion that it would be Grim
nal ton Gano 10 perpetuate the race.
In spite Of all that, Val and Ethan make
THEN compact 10 marry. and determine u
have one yeal Of perfect happiness: and
they decide ii a new life announces its
coming 70 commit suicide together. They
enjoy their year of perfect happiness, and
then, As Il child is about To BE born, they
fulfil their compact, In a little sail boat
they sail away into the sunset out through
the Golden Gate, and there the story ends.
There are in reality two questions: One is,
whether it is right for physically unfit
men and women to perpetuate heir race,
and the other whether suffering men and
women are justified in opening for them
selves the gates Of death The book is
suggestive merely. 1t simply states the
question AID makes no attempt to answer
them. The tragedy is made more power
ful by the fact that Val and Ethan com
bine in themselves the very highest intel
lectual powers and are both in the best
physical health when the compact is car
ried out 1t is the fear of what may come
what is almost sure to come-that
makes it wrong for them to do otherwise.
