81 in the Beals kidnapping at Kansas
ity nine Years ago, and who served a

s wanted by the police as the dark

Imitation OF the Grand Trianon.
No house in Paris is better fitted for the
temporary reception of a royal or imperial
parsonage than this palace of Count Boni
de Castellane. At first glance it does not
always please. This fact must be admit
ted. But two stories high and much spread
out. the grounds around it are not of the
spaciousness necessary to its proper set
ting. From one side it resembles a public
market. From the front it looks like a town
library or police station. The pink marble
needs the sunlight CT Italy to light it up.

No Palaces Available.
The republic has no palaces In which to
house It's royal guests. The Louvre, the
ancient palace of the kings of France, is
museum. SO Is the old royal residence at
Saint Germain. Saint Cloud is destroyed.
The Palais Royal is used for the Cour des
Complies. The Luxembourg Is occupied by
the senate. The Elysee Is large enough
only for the president Outside of Paris,
Versailles Is another museum. Compiegne,
SO much used by Napoleon III, and the
Chateau de Pierrefonds, over which the
Empress Eugenie retained certain rights
until bought out by the republic, are show
places. difficult to fit up and almost too far
away from Paris. Fontainebleau is in the
same position. Certainly the only one Of
the once royal chateaux or palaces that has
been seriously thought of as a place of en-
tertainment for the visitors is that of
Rambouillet, charming country place, re-
paired and furnished in comfortable way
by Felix Faure.

the duchesse, one of the first to be In
Quired about, ought not to be confounded
with her own palatial residence at the
avenue of the Champs Elysees and the
Rue de Chaillot, which would be fitting
residence for cZar or emperor. Indeed,
the government has been denied this lat

is said to have put his brand-new palace
and a real one-at the disposition of the
