ZOLAREGAINS RANK IN LEGION
Restoration of His Cross in Legion OF
Honor Is Due to Recent AM
nesty Decree.

Emile lola has been restored to his
rank of officer of the Legion OF
Honor, of which he was deprived at
the time of his sentence in connec-
ton with his championship of Capt.
Dreyfus, a sentence which, it may be
remembered, compelled him to seek
refuge in England to escape impris-
onment.
His restoration to the Legion OF
Honor is consequent upon the decree
of amnesty passed by the legislature
recently, and he has just received
from the council of the order official
notice of the restoration of his cross.
The ex-prisoner of Devils Island
had quarreled SO bitterly with Col
Picquart, who sacrificed his brilliant
military career to champion his
cause, and with Maitre Labor, who
so eloquently defended him at the
court-martial of Rennes, being shot
for his pains, that they are no longer
on speaking terms with him.

MAKES OVER SOCIETY FACES
London Masseur Doing an Enormous
Business Reducing Double
ChinS,

Society takes up strange fads now
adays. The greatest by far at pres
ent is the craze which has broken
out which is called face improve
ment. The apostle of this is GER
tain Mrs. Watson, first name Dalla,
having shrine in Conduit street, all
amid the fashionable dressmakers of
London. She has at the present time
half the smart ladies of London I'M
der her hands. Her speciality con-
sists in double chins. She guarantees
to take the double ones away and
equally will add one if you like. But
above all the manner in which she
places and displaces flesh, taking it
away from where it is not wanted
and pushing it into places where it
is, has brought her customers in al
most embarrassing quantities.
Gentle frictions may be beneficial,
but other treatments usually known
as face massage, steaming, and so
forth, do not preserve the complex
ion.
Mrs. Watson is graceful woman,
below middle height, with perfectly
charming manners. Her reception
room is small and cozy, surrounded
by photographs of famous women OF
the day.

PUBLIC GIBBETS IN ENGLAND.
They Were Frequently Seen by Tour
lists Century Ago with Bodies
Swinging.

Even if the bicycle had been invented
100 years ago touring could hardly
have become very popular, at all events
for solitary cyclists. The old guide
books were by no means cheerful read
ing. A run from London to East Grin
stead, distance of five or six and
twenty miles, would have taken the
wheelman past three gibbets, and it
was just as likely as not that from
one or the other of them body would
be swinging in the wind. Up till the
beginning of the century just closed
the gallows was almost as frequent
a landmark as finger posts or public
houses have become now, says the Lon
don News.
The traveller approaching York is
directed by the guidebooks to ''turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out to Durham
is "between the gallows and Croke-
hill" Going out of Wells you "cross
the brook and pass by the gallows.' -
Any number of such directions can be
cleaned from the old books for the
guidance of travellers 100 years ago
and as these interesting objects were
put up and the dead bodies of malefac-
tors left upon them for the special edi.
fication of footpads and highwaymen
there was suggestiveness about them
thatmust have given a special piqnancy
to cycle touring if it had been in vogue
at that time.

DIG UP OLD MASONRY.
Excavations Made for New Custom
house Lays Bare the Remains of
Old Fort Amsterdam,

The excavations made for the new
custom house at Bowling Green have
laid bare traces of masonry which COM
petent historians believe was part
of the old Fort Amsterdam, erected
soon after the Dutch bought the is
land of Manhattan from the Indians
in 1926. The laborers found masonry
Is feet below the lowest foundations
of the buildings, which had occupied
the south side of Bowling Green for
the last century. A strong wall was
discovered. It was built of rock and
bricks and the joints were of mortar
made by compromising burned clam
shells with sand. Bits of shell were
found all through the mortar. The old
fort stood, or at least parts of it stood,
until 1890, when the last traces above
ground were cleared away.

KING HOLDS PURSE STRINGS.
Queen Entirely Dependent Upon Her
Husband for Her Allow
ance.

The masterful disposition of King
Edward is illustrated by the arrange
ment under which in the new civil
list he retains absolute control of the
family purse. Formerly the queen
had a separate amount voted for her
private expenses. This time $550,000
per annum was set apart for this
purpose for the king and queen joint
ly. When the members of the select
committee suggested that the
queens allowance be separate the
chancellor of the exchequer replied
that the king desired the queens al
lowance left to him. It is believed
that he expects to keep her under
control by making her entirely de-
pendent upon him. If she persists in
evading her public duties her allow
ance will be reduced.
