Of the crowned heads of the continent,
turning editor will be interesting to
contemplate. Orleans can well afford to
essay the task of financing newspa-
per. His private fortune is ample. Re-
Gently it was reinforced by decision
of the French court which condemned
the French government to turn over to
the Duke and his family property and
funds worth many millions of dollars
The property consists largely of canal
shares which were the property of the
house of Orleans at the time of the
great revolution in the latter part of
the eighteenth century. After the
downfall Of the dynasty this property
was confiscated. In 1914 laws were
passed providing for its restoration to
the original owners. This was impos-
sible in majority Of cases, as the gov
eminent had disposed of the property.
Subsequently the law provided that the
restoration should be made in cases
where the new owners died without
heirs, which would place the govern
ment in actual possession of it. Resti-
tuition has been made under the deci-
sion rendered lately by the courts.

Journalistic Errors.

An English writer discussing jour-
nalistic plumbers remarks: 81 do not
allude to what are obviously mere mis-
prints, such as the Morning Post an
nounced at the head of it's fashionable
intelligence that Lord Palmerston had
gone down into Hampshire with a
party of fiends to shoot peasants, but
refer to plumbers due to gross ignor-
ance of pretentious order. Perhaps
the best instance was when one of the
young lions of the Daily Telegraph
in leading article enumerated the
great masters of Greek sculpture as
Phidias, Praxiteles, and Milo, ignorant
of the fact that Milo is not sculptor,
but an island. The Times was even
worse when, mistaking Prussia for
Austria, it devoted whole leader to
discussing why Prussia had Joined the
zollverein. The Saturday Review once
explained at great length that the pop
ulation might be nourished gratuiti-
ously on young lambs, if killed UNI
weaned before they had begun to crop
grass, having therefore cost nothing to
feed 81

NO TIME FOR CHARITY.
Mrs. Russell Sage Says Fashionable
Women Are Too Busy.

AIRS. Russell Sage Says FashIonab Bile
Women Are Too Busy.
Mrs. Russell Sage, wife of the New
York capitalist, says that fashionable
women have no time to devote to char
liable work, and, provided they give
OF their means to worthy objects. they
should be excused from the active du-
ties of distributing benefactions. She
resents the assertion, however, that So
ciety women are lacking in sympathy
for the distress of others and says that
as rule they are not extravaganza She
asserts that there are not twenty fam
lilies in New York who spend more
than 100000 year and not fifty fam
lilies in the United States whose yearly
expenditure equals that amount There
are few VINO may exceed that amount.
DO you think, Mrs. Sage, that a
New York society woman has much
time for anything but her social du-
ties?" was asked, lis it your opinion
that she can give part of her time to
charity?"
II think her social duties take up
every minute of her time. She would
be the last woman l would approach
for assistance in active charitable
work. l have lived in New York thir-
ty-eight years and in that time l have
never received assistance from tho
source you mention. l do not mean to
say that they do not give generously
to many worthy causes. They simply
have not the time to do charitable
work and keep up their social obliga-
tons"
She spoke most beautifully of Helen
Gould and mentioned their joint in
terest in several charitable institutions.
She also spoke of prominent leader
of society who is known to all New
Workers who inherited an income Of
100000. Out of that she kept up her
position as one of the first leaders of
society and established very worthy
mission school.
