CORONATION GOSSIP.

There is still no lack of interest In next
wears coronation festivities. One would
think people would never get tired of talk
ing about 1t.
What i. creating most concern in official
circles, and most interests the public Is
the objections raised by the Roman Cath
Ole peers against the proposed form OF the
coronation oath. 1t looks as If there would
be a nice bit of a storm over it.
These peers object to the use of the word
.'adoration' in the oath. as applied to their
sentiment toward the. Virgin Mary. LORD
Salisbury has expressed the opinion that
no doubt the word worship" could De
substituted for alteration when the bill
comes on for discussion. but 1t seems
doubtful whether worship will prove any
more acceptable to Lord LANDAU and his
friends.
generation of the Virgin" win probably
be the term proposed by a Roman Catholic
Peer. Then the question will arise whether
generation Of the Virgin Is contrary to
Professionalism.
Evidently there is some pretty Vernai
sword play in preparation.

New York Herald Company 1.-The events
which have troubled France for some
years-the Boulanger crisis, the Dreyfus
crisis. the Deroulede crisis-have always
had their influence on the attitude OF the
Parisians on the days OF the national fete.
Paris in its ADJUSTMENTS always gives an
echo Of It's anger caprice and errors
This year everything was perfectly quiet.
The day was so calm that it recalled to
older people the fete Of the 18th OF Au-
gust at the time when the Empire was
popular and seemed indestructible.
THE GOVERNMENT.
If people were just. they would congrat-
ulate the present Government on this re-
suit, for there could be no more convin-
cling proof that 1t has fulfilled its role and
accomplished its mission. But the merits
Of Ministers are nearly always negative.
People only occupy themselves with them
in order to blame them, for when they do
their duty nobody moves and nobody seems
to notice that nobody moves.
II there had been riots they would have
been attributed to the Cabinet
Order has been perfect. Ministers ought
to get credit for 1t.
THE ARMY.
The opponents of the Cabinet continue to
repeat that the army on this day Is the
idol and consolation OF patriots.
They forget that for more than year
they have accused General Andre Of hav-
ing disorganized it. This is hardly in keep
ing with their cries OF enthusiasm when
this very General, the disorganizer, presents
the army to the members of the Govern
ment and people Of Paris.
THE CHURCH.
In addition. this week has brought an
other matter which It is difficult for the op.
position to swallow. letter bag from Rome
containing letters to the religious orders and
to the Bishops.
It is already known that the Pope recon-
mends patience and resignation to the re.
liSious orders, =
These counsels show the more wisdom ir
that the majority of the religious orders are
authorized TO submit demands for authori-
cations from the Government. and these are
pouring into the Minister Of the Interior,
and before the end OF the year every con-
gregation that has not been founded In
France with the single aim of opposing tht
Government will have been authorized.
1t Is therefore in the interests Of the con-
gregations that they should not begin ths
struggle.

EARL RussELL.s CASE.

1t is strange that while all week. that Is
10 say. right up till Thursday, you could
hear nothing talked about but the trial OF
Earl Russell for bigamy now you hear
nothing about 1t at all.
Did he get what he deserved?
Few people care TO express an opinion.
there being sort OF feeling of regret,
shared even by the man in the street, that
an Earl bearing so distinguished name
should have placed himself In such po-
sition.
Nor did the demeanor of the Earl. at his
trial. create much sympathy. 1t was voted
vulgar beyond measure that he should
have appeared. while everybody else was
in mourning. in a bright red necktie.
BY some the opinion was expressed that
had he been a cormoneI he would have
got off, while others think that. having
pleaded guilty. he got off rather hghtiy.

Ideas Become
Fast

Instances are numerous which show
how the fancies of the novelist may
become realities through men and
women reproducing in actual LIE the
imaginary scenes OF the story teller.
It is well known that Sir Walter Be-
SAINTS story of "All Sorts and Condi-
tons of Men" brought about the build
ing Of the Peoples palace in London
Jules Verne's apparently wild flights
Of Imagination in Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" Is probably
largely responsible for the wonderful
progress that has been made in sub
marine navigation, and the construc-
tors and operators of these boats have
been already able to discount some OF
the novelist's fancies. When the city
of Galveston was overwhelmed In an
instant by the destroying waters tens
of thousands of people read the de-
tailed story in the newspapers and
wondered at the reproduction in this
catastrophy of the Lafcadio Hearn's
story of "Chitu: A Memory OF Lost
Islands" The Galveston story, to the
smallest detail. had long before been
dreamed and the dream told by the
pen Of Hearn. Those who have read
King Solomon's Mines" remember
how Captain Good upon one occasion
when things were looking decidedly
dubious for the English adventures
saved the lives Of himself and his COM
panions by a skillful manipulation OF
his single eyeglass and his false teeth.
The recent outbreak in Ashanti fur
nished an incident which almost paral-
leled the one imagined by Rider Hag-
gard. Two Englishmen were in a ma
tive village far ont on the western Dor
ders OF the disturbed country. When
the war broke out all their native
servants left them and they were alone
with the hostile savages. One. a min
ing prospector. went to a neighboring
chief for protection. The chief re-
ceived him kindly. gave him a meal
and. while he was eating. beat his
brains out with a war club. The other
man, Walter Bennett by name. a sur
veyor, was starting from his house
when he heard the fate of his compan-
ion. He made his way to another
chief. who received him grimly, took
him into his house and then intimated
that he would shortly do things" to
Mr.. Bennett. The chiefs family gath
cred around to inspect their victim and
the Englishman adjusted his monocle
and sat down to think things over.

General S. G. French. The title Is

the part he and his command played
in the Mexican and the confederate

Beautiful Young Woman Seated on Q
Bronze Chair.
At Bosco Reale. near Naples, an in
teresting group Of Pompeian houses
has just been uncovered and the stu
dent Of painting is astonished to find
hgure-work there reminding him more
Of fourteenth-century than Of first
century endeavors. In one of the
most striking Of these figures a youn &
woman Is seated on a bronze chair, a
chair Of singularly beautiful form.
She is playing the Tyre Her features
and expression are pleasing and viva
cious. Her hair Is curled and she
wears a white robe. She curiously
holds her instrument with the right
hand and plays with the left. Behind
the chair a young girl is standing,
probably a maid. From her express
sion and from her position. we sup
pose that she is listening with inter-
est to the music of her mistress. This
composition Is one of much simplicity
and naturalress. and II seems to have
been done, not by many. but by few
strokes-by the frankness and sure
ness Of the hand of a master. Signor
Baldassare Odescalchi. Senator of the
Kingdom Of Italy. has recently writ
ten an interesting article on these dis
coveries for the "Nuova Antologia, "
and voices the surprise Of all that such
harmonious composition. such correct
design. and such remarkable colourine
could have existed and yet not have
been better known. Until the other
day II was supposed that the frescoe.
at Pompeii itself represented the high
est form Of art OF the period.

A CRIME TO STAGGER
PROVISION AGAINST NTEMPERANCE IN A
SOUTH CAROLINA TOWN

The strangest law which has ever
sprung from South Cardinals dispen-
sary system has been adopted by the
town council of Yorkville, a thriving
country seat near the mountain line.
When the dispensary system was first
operated Yorkville fought it bitterly.
because the citizens of that town are
strong on temperance. The law was
unpopular. 1t did not prove success
full. and finally it was decided to have
an election in which the people could
EXPRESS their views on the dispensary
or prohibition. The voters buried the
dispensary and prohibition ruled the
day.
But the closing OF the state estab-
lishments did not stop the sale Of
liquors. Men got drunk just as they
formerly had done. and in the low
quarter of the town intoxicated men
reeled out, a shocking spectacle Of
prohibition. The wise heads took
counsel together. They talked over the
defects. and agreed to punish the man
who drank. and not the man who
sold. An extra meeting Of the town
council was called. An ordinance was
introduced making II . misdemeanor
for any person to be seen staggering on
the streets Of the town That was
where the wise reads thought the root
Of the evil could be crushed. There

Here's an instance In which n man
utilized his mouth for something even
better than talking. Beriram Hines.
an Engiishr.an, became psinser in
spite OF the fact that he lost both his
arms in an accident when he was q
child. He had developed at that time
q taste for drawing. and the loss Of
his arms did not swerve him from
his determination to become an artist.
He therefore set to work holding his
pencil or brush with his mouth. At
the age Of sixteen he exhibited water
color study at the Bristol Fine Art
Academy. and a little later won an
art scholarship valued at 100 guineas.
