Charron, the Supreme.
In Paris it requires lessons to the tune
of 100 francs to learn how to manage with
perfect art an automobile, and the per-
fected art of it is to steer correctly, to
make an extremely high rate of speed ana
not wear an automobile face. Charron
is the man whose name is synonymous
with automobilism of the most graceful
and finished type. At one time he was a
chauffeur of the utmost daring, and held
a high record, but he wins a more solid
fame and earns more money these days
selling and teaching the automobile. All
the great ladies of the theater and the
drawing room are taught by him or one
of his many assistants, and there are
times when his esta blishment on the ave-
nue. of La GraRde Armee looks like a con-
gress of art and beauty, canine as well
as feminine.
His method of instruction has done
away with the foolish system of teach
ing the tyros to first maneuver a mach ne
in a field full of pasteboard dummies The
woman who goes to Charron pays her
hundred francs and chooses the type of
machine she wishes to learn to steer, is
mounted right into it, an instructor gets
in beside her, and out into the bouevards
they go.
After her first lesson she comes in. eth

strain entailed by momentary risk of roll

thin as writing paper under her heavy
trap wheels or she has got the hang of

is plain sailing. Just the very moment a
French woman learns the art of tho
chauffeur, just at that instant rises in
her breast the desire. to make a maximum
of speed at minimum cost to life and

There has been much talk from
Frankfort this week about suits
by both lawyers and doctors
against the estate of the late Gov.
Goebel. Judge w. S. Pryor, who
is acting as mediator and attorney
in the cases of the claims against
the Goebel estate, said Wednesday
that he thought the whole matter
would be adjusted out of the court
and that the physicians who at
tended Gov. Goebel, as well as the
lawyers who managed his contest
case, would be paid for their SER
vices. Judge Pryor stated, how
ever, that in case they are not set
tied suits will certainly be brought
by some of them.

The course OF Gov. Mount, of
Indiana, in protecting criminals
from other states, is bearing its
legitimate fruits in its growing con-
tempt for law and a disposition to
take the law into their own hands,
among the people of his own State.
At Rockport this week an ordinary
murder was followed by tide speedy
lynching of three negroes for the
crime. In at least one of the cases,
the evidence was very insufficient
and it is not improbable that an
innocent man was put to death. In
this connection it is said that there
has not been legal execution in
Indiana since 1898, although there
have been hundreds of homlcides.
