THE KING OF FRANCE AFTER THE FAIR WILL
CHARLES VII AND THE MAID - F
ORLEANS.
How Domremys Taxes Were RENTED
For Three Hundred and sixty
Years.

The most romantic coronation which
history records (says a writer in the
English Illustrated Magazine'O took
place in the year 1929, within the an
cient Cathedral of Rheims, when Char
les VII, of France received the crown
won for him by the noble exertions of
that wonderful maid, Joan of Arc,
whose memory so many poets ha re
commemorated, and the plain unvar-
nished story of whose life is perhaps
the most ineXplicable, as it is the most
fascinating, the world has ever known.
The simple country girl, leaving ner
humble duties in her native village, in
obedience to heavenly voices which
bade her save France cut of the hands
of the enemy had, after many glorious
victories to which she led on her men
with dauntless courage, at last reach
ed the height of her ambition, in seeing
the crown placed on the brow of ,ne
lawful King of France.
The cathedral presented a brilliant
spectacle on this occasion; the King,
young, tall, and handsome, bare-head-
ed, and rObed in crimson velvet and
ermine, decorated with gold and pearls,
entered with an imposing retinue. The
building was crowded, it is said to it's
utmost capacity by "a multitude of
both sexes, the noblest and fairest OF
the province" Yet it was one figure
alone which gave to this coronation the
enduring fame that no mere brillianCy
could have secured for it. AS Martin,
in his Historic de France" says: There
was one present who more than all in
| that assembly fixed the attention of
every eye and engaged the interest of
every HEARTH was Jeanne the Maid,
who, holding her standard erect, stood
near the altar-a celestial creature, on
whom streamed those mysterious rays
of light through the rich cOloring of the
windows above her head, which made
her look like the angel of France pre-
siding over the resuscitation of the
kingdom she had saved.
when Charles was at length, with
| great ceremony, crowned and anOinted
King of France, and the Archbishop
| had pronounced the Benediction, a very
| touching and, in the history of Coru-
| nations, an unprecedented scene, took
| place. Joan of Arc, suddenly putting
| her standard aside, flung herself at the
Kings feet, and with tears of joy
| streaming down her cheeks congratu-
| lated him, and at the same time en-
! treated him, now that her mission was
| ended, to allow her to return to obscuri-
| ty and lead again a quiet life in her ma
| tive village. 1t would nave been well
for Joan of Arc had she followed the
| promptings of her heart.
When asked by King Charles at his
| Coronation to name any grace or favor,
| however great, which she might desire
| for herself as a reward for her great
services, Joan replied with a rare and
marvellous unselfshness, that all she
! desired was that her native village
! Domremy, poor and hard pressed by
reason of the war, might have its taxes
! remiuted. The promise was given, and
for 800 years the tax-gatherer never
! visited DOmremy.

NEW STEAMERS
FOR PACIFIC

The great steamships being built by
the Eastern Shipbuilding Company on
the Thames river, across from New
London, Conn, are expected to COM
pletely revoutiOnize the carrying trade
of the Pacific. The two steamships un-
der construction there are for James
j. Hill of the Great Northern Steam
ship Company of St Paul, and their
special disposition is to serve as a line
running between San Francisco, Seat
tie and Hongkong, Yokohama, Manila
and other ports. 1t is expected that
there will be twenty or even more Of
these great transpacifc carriers, which,
it is thought, will have a wonderful re-
suit in developing the commerce of the
western part of the United States with
the Orient. These vessels will sail from
the Pacific Coast tri weekly, taking
5000 carloads, or 10000 tons, of freight,
which must be collected and handled
each week in this territory. When it is
considered that the capacity of each of
these new vessels will equal that of
half dozen steamers of ordinary size,
an idea of the possibilities of the new
line will be realized. Each of these
vessels, of 10000 tons capacity, will be
able to carry 4S$ head of cattle, 5000
tons of coal and 5000 tons of water. An
up and ready to run on some Oriental
railroad; 1900 passengers can be accom-
modated-l5O first class, $50 second
class, 200 third class and 1000 steerage
besides a crew of 300. According to
information given out, these ships will
be 30 per cent stronger than any YES
sells now ailoat, for they are incased in
hull of solid steel three inches in
thickness They are built for stability,
and comfort rather than speed, yet the
1900 horsepower engines will drive
them through the water at the rate Of
fourteen knots. The finest ventilating
and cold-stOrage plants will be pos
sessed by these vessels. Heretofore It
has been reported that they are to ply
between Puget Sound and the Orient,
but later adyices are to the effect that
they will make San Francisco a regu-
lar port of call. Before many months
the first Of these 10000 ton steamships
will be on the way here from the East.

No Contest over the Estate Is Expect
ed-Pubic Administrator Anxious To
Handle the Rich Estate.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Justice
Gige Rich, in the supreme court today
on the application of attorneys for Mrs.
Theresa Alice Oelrichs, issued an order
directing the New York Stock EX-
change Company to permit either Mrs
Oelrichs in person or her counsel to eN-
anime a private safe belonging to the
late Charles Fair. The examination is
for the purpose of ascertaining wheth-
er any will executed by Mr.. Fair is in
his private safe. Justice Gige Rich's
order further directs that should a will
be found it shall be deposited in the Of
flee of the clerk of the surrogate's
court. Mrs. Oelrichs is not to have the
right to examine any other papers in
the box except so far as to ascertain
whether there is will there.
Mrs. OelriChs, accompanied by her
lawyer, went to the Stock Exchange
vaults this afternoon and efforts were
made to open the vault in search Of
the will. Mr.. Wight, who has charge
of the vaults, made several efforts to
unlock the combination, trying several
combinations suggested by Mrs. Oel-
richs, without success. a safe expert
was then sent for.
After about an hours work two ex-
perts opened the vaults and the con-
Mrs. Oelrichs. The entire party then
left the place through a rear door.
When Col. Jay, the lawyer, was ask
ed concerning the contents of the box
he refused to talk Mr.. Wright was
also reticent. The experts, after re-
moving the combination, took one from
another box and put it on the safe.

ARTISTIC TARLECONER.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema tells an
amusing story of the fate of one of his
larger pictures in his early student
days. When completed it was so far
from satisfactory to himself that he
called in some youthful students, and
invited them to jump through the can
vas, the painter himself leading the
way. On another occasion he cut a
picture from it's frame and gave 1t to
an old woman to use as table-cover:
the recipient declared that 1T was
much better than the common oilclOth
and having plenty of paint it did not

has come an intellectual development
which broadly separates this era from
all past time. We do not need to pre-
sent the evidence "a the marvellous
transforma ton as it is marshalled by
Mr.. Fiske, for every man of intelligence
knows Of it. The whole current of hui
man thought has been changed. That
doctrine has not only revolutonized
thought, but it's very terms have
entered into the common speech. The
human mind has been lifted
into Il new light and a new
method has been introduced into
its study We have learned that
the same kind of forces We're at work
II hundred million years ago that are at
work today. and that the lessons gained
from our familiar experiences may
safely be applied to the explanation of
phenomena the most remote in time as
we'll as in space"
This modern method we must apply
also to the study of contemporary
events and movements and experiments
if we would gain the full profit of the
new illumination, but. as Mr. Fiske
points out, it is there that we fail most
TO be guided by its true light. We still
cling to the old childishness which eX-

account of the element, which. after all,
is the most important-the element OF
human nature. They pin their faith to

get the sovereign remedy, though. as
Mr.. Fiske, observes, they are confront

One year after the opening of the

entity located in the new territory. The

the lowest possible estimate is $3.50,

country, has population of more than
1000 The value of its town lots and

are worth fully as much more.

sonal property embraced in the town of
Lawton and FL Reno district would be

$lJ,O00,OOO added to oklahoma in one
year. There is nothing speculative
about this wealth. If old oklahoma
conditions prevail in the new country,
five years will see three times the
wealth that is now visible.
There are claims of 100 acres in the
new country which have been sold for

MEXICO'S BIG TREE.

There stands Il tree in the tropics OF

City To the little Indian village OF Tule,

This giant OF prehistoric forest is
known as the Tule tree, the name being
pronounced in two syllables and as
though 1t were spelled Tu-lee. In past
years many trees have come To the
front as claimants TO the distinction
Of being the largest tree in the world,
and not mfrequently one of these inn
posters secures that honor.
Only a short time ago a new tree was
discovered in California of the Mariposa
variety, and ii Was hearalded as the
biggest tree in the world. its circum-
ference being l09 feet. The big Tule
tree is forty-five feet two inches to the
good of this new western wonder and
the fact that its position has not hither-
