Chief Feature of Paris Exposition.

The chief feature of the exposition
is the bringing Of the Seine by the
new Alexander III Bridge. II is the
most decorated bridge in Europe. Il
is not merely triumph OF the
modern Pontifex Maximus, it is an
emblem and symbol Of a great po'itl-
cal fact AS the Russo-French alli-
ance links together the East and
West, so the bridge Alexander ILL.,
links together the right and Left
banks Of the Seine The foundation
stone was laid by the present En-
peror Nicholas II. 1t is named after
his father and it is regarded by the
French as an imperishable monument
to the indestructible league which
guarantees the independence OF Eu-
rope from the domination of Germany.

MR.. BOOTHS ILLNESS.

Explained by Pipe and a Bottle Of
Whiskey.
Stories of the incorporate habits Of
the elder Junius Brutus Booth are not
uncommon, and here is Characters
tic one;
During an engagement the business
and stage managers had to keep an
eye on him night and day, ald yet he
very often succeeded in outwitting
them On one occasion, after en- un-
usually serious and prolonged out-
break, the manager locked Booth up
in his dressing-room and put the key
of the door in his own po.1et. The
rear of the theatre, like that OF al
most all theatres, opened on an IN
frequented alley, and the great actors
dressingroom was on the ground
floor Now, opening directly into
this alley was a door, but this door
was also locked and the key reposing
in the managers pocket. Booth added
to his diseased thirst, however, an
almost devilish cunning, and he soon
devised a plan by which he could OBJ
tain the liquor for which he craved.
Listening at the door which opened
nlo the alley-way, he soon heard a
passing footstep, and softly raped on
the panel. The footsteps Jagged and
then stopped.
What is it?" said a voice.
Booth knew the voice; it was, as he
had hoped, hanger-ol about the
theatre, the sort of young man we
would now call tough.
Listen" said the actor 81 will
thrust a bank-note under the door,
and | want you to so to the tavern at
the corner and buy a bottle OF whis-
key and a long-stemmed clay pipe,
When you return 1 will tell you
what | want done"
The young tough departed on his
errand and quickly returned. Then
he was Instructed to thrust the long
stem of the pipe through the key
hole of the door, and slowly to pour
the whiskey into the bowl
As a result of this easy stratagem,
the bewildered stage manager found
the famous actor in a drunken stupor
when he came to release him in the
evening. and was forced once more to
appear before the curtain and to say:
Ladies and gentlemen, | regret to
announce that sudden and serious
indisposition will prevent Mr.. Booth
from appearing on the stage tonight"

women do not crave the freedom and
publicity of life that are enjoyed in the
United States. They are very charit-
able, and are kindness itself to the
poor people OF their nlighborhood
sending portions of bread and meat
daily to those who are in destitute cir
cumstances.
1t was my fortune to witness a duel
between a native Hondurian and a
Spanish trader who had recently come
to this country. 1t was over wom-
ans love, and both men decided to
fight to the death with swords. At early
dawn they met, both noun ted, and at
once began circling round and round
each other Both were able swords
men. AS they thrust, parted and cut
they made a fascinating sight Now
one would dash at his opponent, caus-
ing him to rein his horse to his
launches to avoid the fierce assault;
then he in turn would charge. The
struggle lasted long time and both
were rapidly becoming exhausted. Sud
denly the native dug his spurs into his
charger and drove the point of his
weapon into the nose of the Spaniards
horse, causing the brute to lower his
head for a moment.
In this moment he slashed fairly at
his opponents chest. Taken by sur.
prise and thrown off his guard b. the
sudden movement of his horse, the
Spaniard barely managed to raise his
sword in defense The blade received
the full force of the blow and parted
like a reed. Before he could recover
and wheel his horse the native dashed
by, thrusting to the rear as he did so
and wounding his antagonist between
the shoulder blades. The blood squirt
ed out in streams and it was plain the
duel was at an end.
As the wounded Spaniard sank from
his horse to the ground his fortunate
antagonist walked over to where he lay
and alphabetically placed his saddle
under the Spaniard's head and strove
to stay the flow of blood with his own
shirt. The wounded man raised him
self. his face giving every evidence that
thousand confused fancies were
crowding in his brain and throbbing in
his heart. He mutterd ''IneZ-Inez-a

PRESIDENT COHEN EXPLAINS.
Fire Insurance Rates Need Not Neces-
sarfiy Go Higher.

Fire Insurance Rates Need Not Neces-
sariiy Go Higher.
Some comment was caused by the state
ment made last night at the underwriters
banquet, in the course Of the speech by
the president, Mr.. Myer Cohen. referring
to an adjustment Of rates Of insurance. In
speaking this morning to a Star reporter
on this subject Mr.. Cohen said:
Il did not wish to convey the impression
that rates must necessarily be higher. l
started out by quoting statistics from off,
cial sources to the effect that the average
rate Of fire insurance on every hundred DOL
lars worth Of property insured in the Dis
trict of Columbia during the past nineteen
years had been 81 cents, whereas the aver
age for the United States during the same
period has been S104. This fact taken In
conjunction with the enormous increase in
fire losses and the fact that the majority
of the companies In 1909, both American
and foreign, lost large sums of money on
their underwriting accounts, ought to pre-
pare us for such a reimbursement OF rates In
this District as the conditions warrant.
THE assertion Ia made that nearly all
classes of property except dwellings and
their contents are rated too low In pro-
portion to the risk assumed in this District
and our board has been urged by the COM
panfes carrying the large stocks of mer-
chandise and more hazardous risks to
make a general rerating of this class, in
order that the Durden may be more eqult-
ably distributed. 1t is also urged that the
rates on dwellings and their contents are
too high, and that q proper adjustment
of rates on all properties would bring about
reduction of those classes.
Mr.. E. C. Irwin of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the national board of fire under
writer's has called together a committee Of
twenty-five. composed of the managers of
leading companies. to agree upon some plan
that will meet the tremendous demands
made upon the companies, This committee
meets in New York today, and will con-
tinue to meet monthly until April next,
when the result of their deliberations will
be announced. AS an Indication, however,
l may say that the rates, fin New York on
mercantile hazards have been increased
from 10 to 80 per cent, and that material
increase is about being made in Philadel-
phia and Chicago" -'tIs g
