The Romance That We Lived.

Lieutenant Mattasich, former equerry of the Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg, daughter of King Leopold, has brought out at Dresden the story of their love affair under the title of 'The Romance That We Lived" It was a romance that cost him the loss of his military grade, his place in the household of the Prince of Coburg. three years Imprisonment on a wrongful charge, and the Princess five years representation in Dr. Coswig's pri- vate asylum near Dresden. The lieutenant had to face the pistol and sword of Prince Philip in a duel which came off six years ago in a riding school at Vienna on the birthday of the Princess. then at Nice As the injured party Philip fired the first shot which missed, and his rival then discharged his pistol in the air. This done, the Prince resorted to the sword. and the other parreh At the Tenth one of the seconds of the latter. who noticed the ex- treme deafness of the Prince. whispered to him: Just prod him in the arm and be done with it." Mattasich inflicted flesh wound. and honour was declared satisfied. The victor telegraphed to the Princess "I have just fought duel with the Prince Consort, have wounded him; but fear not, the wound is triling." On re- ceiving the message she answered: "This is the happiest birthday I have ever knOwnr'

It is hoped that the destruction by fire of the valuable manuscripts of the Royal Library at Turin will have the effect Of opening the eyes of the government to the danger threatening the Louvre collections. The Louvre library was lost long ago in the terrible days of the Commune. When France, twenty years ago began to ac- quire large possessions beyond the seas, a colonial office was founded, and as some difficulty was experienced in finding suit able premises, it found temporary ac- comodations at the Pavilion de Fibre, at one end of the Louvre. This temporary arrangement has lasted ever since. Owing to the centralized system, the most insig- nificant business has to be transacted in Paris. Bundles of documents tied with red tape keep accommodating in the Pavil- Ion de Fibre, which is separated from the National Gallery by a few wooden blanks. A few sparks thrown out by these log fires that keep burning the whole winter in government offices, and the whole Louvre would be on fire, which 1t would be most difficult to localise. The Academy of Inscriptions had it's attention called the other day to the question how to preserve masterpieces against fire. Its reply is that notable works of art should be photographed in fac simile.

CHANCE AFFORDED
 FOR COMP PAR|SON "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
 Stale in Paris PLAY WAS NEW IN LONDON Demi-Mondaine Has Ceased to Interest Parisians-Story of Lieutenant
 Mattasich and Princess
 Louise in Print.
PLAY WAS NEW IN LONDON
BY PIERRE RosIER.

Paris. March 5.-(Special.) )-"The Sec ond Mrs. Tanqueray," at the odeon af- lords an opportunity for comparing the French and British theatres. When the play first came out in London the sup- feet was new there. It is stale in Paris. Emile Augier, an author of the Second Empire, found in 1t materials for drama with a tragical ending, 'Le Marriage d d'Olymphe." He sought to show that 1t is chimerical to hope to rehabilitate pro- fessional beauty of wide and long experi- ence by marriage and that the situation of a married woman in an aristocratic set that despises her must crush her. But the pistol ball that delivers Olympic from her mistery is fired by the Marquis de Puygiron an old-fashioned nobleman. Paula is not a bad sort of person, but 1t is obiected that she is a stupid creature. and very provoking. The French speak of her as insupportable. and do not see that the fatality of her situation is needed to bring about the disastrous wind-up of the fourth act A heroine struggling against the overwhelming fatalities of her situation is infinitely more interesting than one who wrecks herself from hys- terical nervousness and an Unbalanced mind. Tanqueray is counted an 'imbe- cile." Nobody can here understand why, when once she found the lovely coun- try house unendurably dull, Paula should not run to some Continental watering place, or make a yachting tour on the coast of Norway, or visit Japan or Cey
 lon, or otherwise escape from the de- pressing surroundings of her new home. Tanaueray is sufficiently devoted to her to go with her on long journeys.

The Demi-Mondaine.

The demi-mondaine has. ceased to inter est in France. People have long since discovered how conventional she is in most of those plays by great authors who had interest centered round her. We could not now endure Marion de Lorme. Sarah Bernhardt manages still to attract large audiences as the Dame au Camelias. The Travaiata is yiex jeu. Musette, the Prin- cesse de Bagdad, Madame de Sanlis are as much out of date as fashions launch- ed by the Empress Eugenie. The heroine of Resurrection interests deeply, be- cause she is the sport of terrible fatali- ties and beheld through the Illuminating vision of that strange genius Tolstoy who serves her nature, and yet without gross ness, or even coarseness. Her wall comes up de profundis-from the depth of pain, shame and the misery of blighted life, through no fault of hers. The tragedy is poignant, and does not depend on stage trick, but arises from the situation.

Forged Bills in Circulation.

The lieutenant and the Princess had learned some time previously that bills said to be forged by one or the other Tn the name of the Archduchess Stephanie were in circulation. The Princess teit dreadfuly frightened, as it all seemed to her the work of conspirators acting on instructions for a sinister object She insisted on the lieutenant going with her to London to avow their love to queen Victoria and implore her to lend them the sum the bills were said to represent.
 When they arrived there they found the Queen had gone to Nice. whither the Prin- cess followed her. unaccompanied. But we are not told whether the late Queen had compassion on the lovers. The au- thor of "The Romance We Lived has no literary pretensions. He has just recov- cred a bundle of love letters of the Prin- cess. which he confided to his advocate, who has been appointed her guardian, and who used them against her and showed them to the lawyer of Prince Philip. The object of Lieutenant Mattasich in pub fishing this book is to arouse sympathy for the Princess and obtain for her the

The approaching conference for educa- tion in the south. to be held in Birming- ham, April 26, 27, 2s, will be the most inn portant conference yet held and it's signi- ficance cannot be overestimated. The conference will open on Tie evening of April 26, and the sessions will be. held in the Jefferson theatre. MT. Robert c. Ogden of New York. president of the con ference. will preside, and the speakers will include many of the most distin- gulshed educators in the country. On the recent visit to Birmingham of Dr. Wal lace Buttrick of the general education board, he expressed himself as greatly pleased at the selection of the Jefferson. With it's splendid seating capacity, am pie accommodation will be provided for the hundreds of visitors to the confer ence.
 The next consideration is that of provid- ing homes and hotel accommodations. MT. Ogden will bring party of 100 guests in his private car, who will be his per sonal guests during the conference. In addition to MT Ogden's party there will be hundreds of visitors from different sections of the country and while no ob- ligations of hospitality are imposed upon the city entertaining the conference, those cities where the Conferences have met in the past have entertained the visitors with a generous hospitality. At the last conference held in Richmond, the people of that city not only raised S2500 for the entertainment funo, but the most repre- sentative people opened their homes to the visitors The preceding year the con- ference meeting in Athens, Ga, was en- tertained with a lavish hospitality. With limited hotel accommoda tions, the neces- sity of private entertainment was re- sponded to with a genuine hospitality by

Animals in Art.
From Outing.

From Outing.
 The Egyptian Pantheon was most rich in animal symbolism, not deity but had some bird or beast consecrated to its ser vice and in some way participant of the formers divine attributes. There was the hawk sacred to Ra, the all-seeing Sun; there was the bull, scared to the benefi- cent Osiris, and the COW. consecrated to his sisters and consort. Isis the mysteri- ous all-mother The crocodile was the symbol of .-le terrible Typhon, god of death The gentle goddess of night had her sacred cats; Thoth, the wise, had his ibises and cynocephalous apes. Tne ram was devoted to the worship of Chnuphis, and also to Rem, the goat-headed god of genera tion; and lastly we find the jackal. belonging to the weird mummy god An nubis. All these creatures except the crocodile were recipients of divine honors Tn the temples of their patron dieties dur Ing life. and at death they were buried with their images made in countless sta tues. amulets. carvings. papyri and mural frescoes,

 The executive committee of twelve ap- pointed to arrange for the educational conference includes a number of Birmng- hams most representative men, those not only well identified with the educational interests of this immediate section, but fully awake to the problems to be dis cussed at the conference.
 MT. A. O. Lane, president of the gen. eral executive committee, is president of the board of education He realizes that the deliberations of these conferences are important to degree that cannot be overestimated. He realizes, too, that Birmingham has a great opportunity to emphasize her position as an educational center.

THREE CENTURIES OLD.
San Angel Monastery of Carmelites of
 Mexico in Ruins.

From Modern Mexico.
 The suburban town of San Angel, at the base of the fothills. three-quarters of an hour from the capital by electrical car, is every year becoming more fashionable as a summer resort and every year, as modern conveniences and peter houses are provided in the outlying districts, more people take up their permanent abode there.
 To the casual visitor to San Angel the most interesting feature is the handsome old church of Nuestra Sonora del Carmen. Its triple domes, with their tiles shining brightly in the sunlight. are the first ob- ject that arrest the atentioln of strangers approaching the town. It's Carmelite bell tower, or campanario, is distinctive and the edhce is one of the handsomest ec- clesiastical monuments in all Mexico. It was dedicated to the worship of God in 1917. or three years before the Pilgrim Fathers of New England landed on Ply mouth Rock The interior is handsomely decorated and contains some notable paintings by the famous Mexican artist. Cabrera. Pious women have adorned the chapel of Our Lady. which Is one of the features of this ancient church, and the magnificent Churrigueresque ornamental tion of the northern transept is a splendid specimen of this most distinctive Spanish mode of decoration. Beneath this tram sept rest In their eternal sleep forty-five American soldiers. who were killed or died of disease during the war of the North American invasion, when the ad- joining monastery of the Carmelte fath- CTS was converted into a military hos pitaland barracks. the good fathers nurs- ing the wounded Americans with such christian devotion and good will that when the troops evacuated San Angel monks and soldiers fell on one another's necks and wept.
 Janvier speaks of San Angles Church as follows:
 Tn the year 1913 Don Felipe de Guzman pious. 'cacique of Chimalistac, in ful- fillment of his fathers testament. gave up to the Carmelite order huerta of con- siderable size. Here the Carmelites built little hospice. Don Felipe de Guzman presently died and little later died also his widow. chldIess By her will, the entire estate of which she died possessed passed to the Carmelite fathers; and by these 1t was devoted to the building

investigations It Is fact well known to conductors that students in the colleges make a little extra money as amateur spotters on the cars. In fact, they are among the most successful. They make four or five trips a day and get from sixty to eghts cents for It. They work with beans. beads and lots of other things. We can never tell. But conductor is never afraid of a man with a pencil and note- book.
 "'rhe amateur spotters run only on short trips-from Fourteenth to. Fifty-ninth street for instance. If man is caught on a short trip the company puts an expert on him for two or three long trips. If the report of the student spotter Is confirmed he Is dismissed with no explanation except that his services are no longer required. The company seldom makes mistate, If man Is dismissed for knocking
 ten chances to one he deserves It."

PREPARES TO ENTERTAIN NEXT
 CONFERENCE FOR EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH

| upon him rests much of the responsibil- ity of preparation for the conference. Dr. Phillips has attended several of these conferences, and was invited to be pres- ent at the first conference for education in the south held at Capon Springs, West Virginia.
 No better chairman of the finance eom- mittee could have been selected than Gen. Rufus N Rhodes. because of his eminent fitness for this position and the active part that he has always taken in pro- noting educational movements. His splendid work on other finance commit- tees make his services invaluable to the general executive committee.
 MT. R. & Munger, chairman of the re- cepton committee. is one of Birming- hams most prominent and influential men. The duties burdening this commit tee make MT. Munger's appointment as chairman particularly fitting.
 One of the most important committees has as it's chairman Miss Willie NJ. .Allen-that on private entertaining. Miss Allen has not yet selected the members of her committee. The work of ascer- taining the names of persons who will en- tertain visitors to the conference and the subsequent duties of assignment is a great undertaking. This committee de- serves general cooperation and response. It's responsibilities must be appreciated and shared by the citizens of Birming- ham.
 Another important committee is that on hotels and boarding houses, of which MT. J. B. Gibson, secretary of the Commer- cial club, is president. The information which he will be prepared to furnish will facilitate much of the detail work of the committed and his services will be of great value.

conference with generous and cordial feel ings.
 Birmingham has one advantage over, possibly any other southern city that might have been selected as the place for holding the conference. Owing to the large per cent of her population being comprised of people from all sections of the country, which accounts for her cos mopolitanism, many of the visitors to the conference representing as they will the several states already represented in a large element of our population, have no doubt a wide acquaintance in this city. While no steps have yet been made look ing to the organization of Virginia Mary land Georgia, North Carolina and other colonies from both southern and north ern states, the population of Birmingham is made up of the most representative people from other sections, those which will be represented at the educational conference
 The social side of these annual cor' ~- ences is always brilliant. During tn ,n- ference in Birmingham there will be as many entertainments as will not conflict with the business sessions. The Hillman hotel will be the headquarters of the con ference and reception will probably be given there. the large palm garden and
 the private ball rooms opening into 1t making it ideal for a large reception. No definite arrangements have yet been made but it has been suggested that the South ern club keep open house one ofternoon and evening during the conference and also that the Country club governors will open their club house in compliment to MT.
