Paris, June 6.--The close of Sybil San
dersons life reminds one of "the lost
glory of the trailing wind" of one of
Matthew Arnold's poems. She was one
of the most charming persons l ever met.
l did not think her plastic beauty of the
highest order. 1t wanted the suggestion
of vitality and vlgor and struck one as
being too much that Of the woman of
luxury and wealth But If Judged ac-
cording to the standard of graceful and
harmonious outline and skin texture, 1t
might be held faultless. The Incidence
that went with it l thought a charm in
the too busy and agtated world in which
we live Far be 1t from me to say or
even think anything ill-natured about the
beautiful and highly endowed Sybil San
derson when / describe exactly my first
impression Of her. 1t was received at
musicale and reception, not while she
sang. but as she sat on sofa taking an
ice the United States minister had just
handed to her. She struck me as being
above everything else bonnie file, but
rather in the Turkish or Turco- Egyptian
than Partisan sense. l said so in the
hearing of Saint-Saens. He struck his
forehead, and exclaimed: II have an
idea. She would make an ideal Phryne."
And so she did when she came out in
that character In a comic opera he COM
posed for her But still greater tri-
umph awaited her in Massenet's opera of
"Thais" adapted from work
of Anatole France. She deserved in that
opera to have been enshrined in that
enhancing Greco-E Egyptian temple at
Philae. l do not believe that her lowell
ness, touched with Egypto-Greek Orien-
talism, could be felt in the same degree
away from Paris II she fully entered
into the two roles, she instinctiyely
avoided falling to the lower level of the
cocotte. The Aspasias, Phrynes and
Thases of antiquity were carefully ed
ucated to shine as artists and free-think-
ers and held a high place In the intellec-
tual cenacles of Greece and Alexandria.
Sybil sanderson received at Sacramento
the head-hardening education to which
every American girl is entitled, and an
artistic training In Paris. She belonged
to a highly respectable and meritorlous
family, and came here to study under
her mothers care and with a lot OF sis
tiers. all of pleasing appearances and
manners. Her extremely high and erys-
talline voice was first heard In public at
The Hague. Massenet heard her there
by chance and thought there was for
tune for him in her throat and beauty,
IL she could be advantageously brought
out by him in Paris. To this end he COM
posed the comic opera Of "Esclarmond.

BIG TROUT OF sAuLT ST. MARIE.
Giants That May Be Caught Only in
the Early Spring.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In the early spring suckers in immense
schools run up from ST. Mary's river be-
tween Lakes Superior and Huron. into
the small streams that come in on both
sides Of the river, and there deposit their
spawn. They are followed by brook trout
In droves, and among them are specimens
larger than can be found anywhere else
In the northwest
These trout are after the sucker spawn,
and leave the upper waters of the streams
when the spawning of those fish is over.
While following the suckers they furnish
rare sport to the angler. and catches with
five and six Founders among them have
been made
BY the end of May the trout have re-
turned to the deep pools and to the ST.
Marys river, and the large ones will not
rise to the fly again during the season.
Now and then big one Will be tempted
by an attractive minnow on the hook. and
small white troll, without feathers on
it, often proves good killer of them.
The smaller trout. however. continue to
give excellent sport to the angler all
through the season.

THE NEWS FROM LONDON
BY HENRY oEvEREAux.
Chamberlain in Politics What Morgan is in Finance
England Will Not Interfere With Russia in Manchura

London, June 6.-There are two topics
uppermost in the minds of all English
men, Joe Chamberlain and Manchuria.
The first question is whether the Cham
berlain national and imperial policy" is
one that is conducive to the well-being
of the British community. Having now
had little experience of it, most persons
have already arrived at the conviction
that 1t is not. 1t is a very costly one,
and it has not proved remarkable one
in regard to the increase of our COM
merce. Apart from all direct outlay on
the South African war, which, according
to the official estimate, has amounted to
zig millions, 1t has increased our normal
annual expenditures on ornaments by
about thirty millions, which can only be
met by taxing the necessities or the poor,
and rendering 1t Impossible TO spend
what is needed to brighten and better the
condition of the toilers and molers at
home. A year or two ago Mr. Chamber
lain was never tired of comparing the
imperial spirit OF our colonies with the
parochial spirit that animated those at
home. He now sadly admits that our
colonies are not so lost IN admiration OF
us as ne would have had us DelleVe, ana
that they decline to be dragged into what
they irreverently term a vortex of mill
itarisrn." and to contribute to the cost
of the vortex At home, too, he has been
disappointed. He would have us tax corn
as a step towards British zollverein. /
am not surprised that Mr.. Chamberlain
darlxly hints at withdrawal from public
affairs, though whether he means abso-
lutte withdrawal or only withdrawal from
a cabinet that has lost the confidence of
the country, is not quite clear. Be this
as it may, he may rest assured that he
will obtain no sort of assurance that his
policy will remain that Of the nation,
even though he leaves 1t to others to give
effect to it, Mr. Chamberlain is to poll
cies what Mr. Pierpont Morgan is to
finance. His ideas are grandiose. He
thinks in trusts. EIe would convert this
practical nation into a huge trust doing
business with an inflated capital against
the entire world. The shareholders are
to have no voice in the direction Of the
trust. That is to be left TO its promoter,
and all who suggest that there has been
decentralization, or that the trust VIII
socn cease to pay, are to be treated as
though they were wreckers.

pounds on her Siberian railroad.

Thomas Jefferson, Farmer.

From "Our Farmer Presidents" in Les

possible for her to renounce the master
ship of Manchuria. 1t is the last thing
that We should dream of doing were we
in her place. We have pretty clearly
proved this by our establishing ourselves
permanently in Egypt, although, when
we went there by way of interfering to
put down a rebellion against the then
khedive, we soemnly pledged ourselves
to the world to withdraw so soon as this
object was accomplished. Our plea was
that we have certain possessions in Asia,
and that we, therefore, must In our own
interests hold the key of the shortest sea
road to the east. On somewhat the same
grounds we have announced that we can
allow no European power 10 interfere
with our supremacy in the Persian Gulf.
Certainly Russia may with greater force
urge the same plea in regard to Manchu-
ria.
