Kings By Their Own Decree
French Predecessors Of lbudy Who Won and Lost Empires Abroad
Bouon Struck for Mexico Mayrena Held AMMAN Border and Bonaus
Founded the Oeeanian Realm-An Proved Dismal Failures

TT appears from the researches of Paris
reporters that the remarkable adven-
ture upon which n. Jacques Lebaudy is
nov engaged. in trying to found Sa-
haran empire on the west coast Of Africa,
is by no means so unique as has been
supposed. He has had three or four
predecessors in the hard task Of empire
founding, all Of them French, and each
OF them destined to gloomy. unsuccess-
full and fatal end.
Comte Raousset Boulbon, the most "a
NOUS Of these, was born in the late '20s
of last century. He was an adventurous
spirit from the start. Having lost his
fortune recklessly about the time he
ought to have been in school, he spent q
few wild years in Algiers and then set out
for California, not to discover gold, but
to gather together as many unsuccessful
French gold hunters as he could find,
make descent on Mexico and form an
Independent kingdom for himself before
the United States should sweep down
upon that country and put an end to its
political existence.
That was about 1s47. The big
province Of Sonora tempted him (there
has been nothing small about the ideas

raphy, for his choice for his empire fell
on the very spot of earth where at that
time he had the best chances to succeed.
With~a small force of less than 400 men
he went to the border between Siam and
AMMAN and tried to persuade the natives
to join him in large numbers. He man
aged to get tribe about him which
elected him chief and later proclaimed
him king under the name Of marie l."
The Paris newspapers Of that time
were gorged with accounts Of the IN
dertaking, much as they are at present
with the Lebaudy enterprise; and the
population at home found enormous
amusement in the idea itself. In 1855
Marie was crowned and formed his
court; then he remained unheard Of for
several years until the news of his death
came from Singapore. where he had
taken refuge after being dethroned be-
cause he could not work the miracles he
promised. He left his fortune behind
him.
Then there was Antoine-O relie l., EN-.
peror of Patagonia; or, in private life,
M. Thoumens, modest lawyer of Peri
gueux, France. He seems to have had
nothing of sovereignty but gold crown
(some people swore it was brass) and the
name, but he lived down there in his
Kingdom" until fever killed him in q
Buenos Ayres hospital. There are few
or no details to be found about him.
The worst of them all was Charles Bon
aventure of Breil, who said his real
name was the Viscount de Roys and
MARQUIS Of Caulain, neither Of which
titles, however, exists in the Almanach
de Gotha. Bonaventure suddenly dis
appeared from his favorite Paris clubs
one day and as suddenly reappeared four
years after. He said he had been made
ruler of the province of Port-Breton in
Oceania, and that he had come back to
place on the Paris bourse valuable
amounts of stock and shares he had
gained in the prosperity out there.
What he was really specializing in was
human credulity Of the peculiar French
variety. Nevertheless, he persuaded q
lot of people to invest large sums OF
money in farm lands, in mining shares
distilleries and sugar fields. At a certain
day he was to meet 500 emigrants from
Holland and France at Havre, whence
the party would sail on specially char
tered steamer for the paradise at Port
Breton. The emigrants came, the boat.
were there, but the ruler Of the distant
land was behind time and the boat sailed
without him.
When the emigrants arrived II
Oceania to take possession Of their varf
Gus properties they discovered that they
had been duped. There were but barren
lands, destitute of the first necessities O.
life Many of the wretches died there o
starvation; there was no use in their 60
ing back to France to ridicule and pow
erty. Those who did return finally ef
fected the arrest of Bonaventure II
Spain, where he had led a luxurious life
giving dinners to royalty and gambling
on a tremendous scale. He was give1
five years of solitary imprisonment.

date for the Presidency.

Judge George Gray, Of Maryland: has
several times of late been mentioned az
a presidential possibility on the demo-
cratic side Of the house, and the adoption
of a resolution favoring his nomination
in one of the coal counties Of Pennsyl-
vania is the latest phase of concerted
movement in that state to push his can
didacy.
Judge Gray himself has given no
encouragement whatever to these pro-
posals, but has declared all along, as he
does now, that he does not wish to be con-
sidered as a candidate, and that there is
nothing In the so-called boom started
by his friends. Judge Gray has had an
eminent career and an unimpeachable
record as a jurist. He was United States
senator .(1ss5-99) and in 1898 was ap<

lyrics to music. ...ss~
That there are plenty Of good music
composers in London, but poor librettists,
has been made apparent the last few
seasons, in ''Florodora." 1.-THE Toreador"
and other English musical productions.
Therefore it seems quite possible that
with the appearance again Of Mr.. Gil
bert in the field. we may expect. In tho
next few years, revival OF the charming
comic operas which for so many years
held the boards undisputed. ... -.
It IL As years since Mr.. Gilbert's name
first became familiar to playgoers. His
first libretto to Sir Arthur Sullivan's
music was produced In 1876. H. NJ. s.
Pinafore." This was followed, In rapid
succession and In the order named. BY
"The Pirates of Penzance." Patience"
and 1.-THE Mikado." But since the pro-
duction of 1.-THE Grand Duke" his last
collaboration with Mr.. Sullivan, eight or
nine years ago, Mr.. Gilbert has given tho
stage nothing whatever.
Mr.. Gilbert, who resides at present at
Harrow Weald, near London. is prac-
tically the last remaining member OF An
interesting trio Of theatrical men. Sir
Arthur Sullivan, his collaboration, died
last year. and D'Oyly Carte. who built
the Savoy theater in London, expressly
to produce the works Of Gilbert and Sui
Ivan, has been dead several years.
Mr.. Gilbert's librettos were suggested
In all sorts Of ways. The Mikado," ono
of his most popular, for example, came
into his mind one day % he examined
q japanese sword that hung on the wall
in his study. He wrote most Of his plays.
laid them away for fortnight, and then
rewrote them without referring to his
original copy. He then compared the
two, taking the best of each. Sometimes
this process was repeated q number Of
times. His work has left him an tnde-
pendent fortune.

were the librettos written by Mr.. Gill
