THE LATE W. E. HENLEY.

A Note on His Daughter and Himself.
 One remembers hot summer day at Addiscombe when girl child answered when one rang. She was dressed in a thing frock of white silk Chow one re- members!) and, though she had the delicate grace and the beauty of fairy she had an almost co1nical likeness to her father. She looked on the visitor with "the serenest eyes," and evidently tiivined that he was another one of the uncles. So she led him to, the library, and in little while her father came in, and the two were soon deep in talk. She sat on a low stool in front of them, and moment by moment she went from one pretty attitude to another. For the man had come to suggest that certain things might be done for the paper, and some of them were stories. They were not of the sort that she could by any chance understand, but she realized that they were stories, and she listened and listened.
 There were sorrow in many hearts when it was told early in the week that she was i'll. Two days later it was told us that the sickness was unto death, but she lived for many days, so that when the news of her passing came we had even a sorry kind of gladness.
 Long afterward, when he was editing ''The New Review" he was offered a set of stories about a child, and, al- though he was unable to accept them, the letter with which he rejected them was a reward for all ones labor. '"The cycle brings me back the best years and the best memories in life. I know not if you had her in your mind when you did these stories. But there is much in them that is strangely and beautifully like, and for that reason alone I should be pleased with thern.''

LAMSDORFF IN PARIS
RUSSIAN MINISTER RECEIVED
 WITH HONORS.
He Will Hold Conference With M. DeIcasse and Much Significance is Attached to tFe
 Conference.

Paris, Oct 2S.-Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign Minister, arrived here today, accompanied by a numerous suite. M. Delcasse, the French Minister of For eign Affairs, was at the railroad station 70 extend a personal greeting to the Rus sian minister.
 The official character of the visit was shown by the presence at the station of M. Willard, chief of the protocol. Prince Auroussoff. the Russian ambassador, Prince OrlofI and other members of the Russian embassy were also present. Af- ter greetings had been exchanged the count was escorted to the Continental Ho- tel. During the day many calls of cour- tesy were extended. the important confer ences between M. Delcasse and the count
 being deferred until later.
 The program of the visit has been changed so as to include grand dinner at the Elysee tomorrow night in honor nf Count Lamsdorff. M. Delcasse will give a dinner to the count on the follow
 ing Friday.
 The visit of Count Lamsdorff attracts the attention of the public and the press
 who attribute to 1t even more important significance than the visits of King Ed
 ward and King Victor Emmanuel to | Paris. The newspapers agree that the
 foreigner will discuss the Eastern and | Far Eastern questions, put IL IS sald that
 the Southern and Far Eastern question Is
 not likely to occupy so much attention as expected since Admiral Alexieff, the Rus
 sian viceroy of the Far East, has been given supreme authority over the Rus | sian situation.
 The Macedonian situation certainly will
 be gone over and some important details of the Russian-Austria note to Turkey
 will be considered. M. Deicasse is desir-
 ous of having France represented on the commission of control, which Is to carry out the reforms in Macedonia. but the
 note presented to the Porte does not con- template representatives of any powers except Russia and Austria.
 Among the leading officials n strong feeling prevails that the main result of the Russian minister's visit wih be the Strengthening of the bonds of the Franco Russian alliance This Is considered to he most desirable because small groups here and in Russia are opposed to the al- IIance. Governmental influences here and fin Russia are strongly favorable to the Continuance and extension of the alliance and if is expected public and private ex- nressions during the present visit will emphasize the permanence of the alli- ance.

MRS. LeMOYNE'S PLAY
"LADY BERINTHIA'S SECRET" IS A SUCCESS.
It is Captivating Comedy of } Cleverness and Was Produced
 at the Theatre by an
 Excellent Company.

The circle of the Montgomery admirers or Mrs. Le Moyne was notably widened by the presentation of Lady Berinthia' s Secret at the Montgomery Theatre last night
 It might be said that there is a local LeMoyne cult who believe that last nights star is the greatest feminine de- iineator Of high class comedy on the stage and the cult received some additions by
 reason of the production of Lady Berin- thia's Secret
 Mrs. Le Moyne Is unquestionably a great actress. She is undeniably the possessor or the two requisites, magnetism and d distinct Individuality. To these gifts she brings, comprehensive knowledge of her art. keen perception, and the polish and confidence of experience.
 It 1t is her personality, distinct and
 marked which so sets her apart for ad-
 miration and praise. She has an indi
 vidual mannerisn, a trick of speech, and
 no great actor is without such a dstinc- ton. There was the funny little stutter < of Stuart Robson, there is the drawl of 7 Nat Goodwin. the choppy but impressive
 utterances of Sir Henry Irving. and the
 limpid and almost poppish speech of Rich

 lines in low voice, but always with dis
 tinctiveness and with an odd little catch

 Over and above this her spirit gets be-
 yond the footlights. She challenges the
 interest and admiration of her audience
 with her splendid eyes and the play of
 her mobile features.
 But the notable success attained by last
 nights performance was not won single
 handed by Mrs. Le Moyne. She had first

<SAgtO eAAC k6GIVI0GIs
 Since the inauguration of street im- provement in Mobile. new ordinances have been passed for protection of the asphalt ed pavemcnts, among these being one looking to the prevention of damage to the asphalt by the leaving of horses in one spot beyond period of thirty min utes. This ordinance carries with it a penalty Of not less than s for every vio- lation. The asphalted pavements are To- cated in the business district and therein, in one sense, lies the hardship, 1t is al- legged. to business men and shoppers.
 It Is the duty of the policemen to take in charge every horse and vehicle known to have been allowed to stand fin one spot on the asphalted pavement more than thirty minues, and to arrest the owner or driver of the vehicle. While the law Is generally known to residents, persons from the country who come to the city to make purchases. being ignorant of the ordinance, sometimes have been made to pay the minimum fine of s5. This morning Recorder McAleer had two cases of vio- lation of this ordinance before him, and the evidence in each being conclusive, he was compelled to assess a fine. he apply ing the minimum. One of these cases was that of a negress who came to the city in a spring wagon. As had been her GUS :. tom in olden times, she left her horse and vehicle at convenient place and went about making her purchases. As a conse- quence. she was arrested and made to pay into the city treasury the sum of $5. The recorder stated after court that he knew it was hardship on the woman, but he was powerless in the matter.
 The other case was more of hard ship in one respect than the first named. business man who has his store on Dauphin Street, just west of Royal, and as at the present time Dauphin Street in front of his place of business Is torn up and the concrete foundation being laid. was forced to leave his delivery wagon on Royal Street, on the asphalt pvement. The vehicle remained in one place beyond the prescribed limit and he. too. was placed on the docket and fined 6. With no power to discriminate, the recorder was compelled to assess a fine.

It is an open secret in Washington that some of the most influential members of the administration would be only too glad to see a revolution in Colombia involv- ing the department of Panama, which would justify the United States in land ing troops for the maintenance of order. which might be the short cut to the United States obtaining the much-desir- ed canal concession. In fact, so strong Is the conviction of some prominent men that the only way to bring Colombia to her senses Is a revolution. that these
