They Arc Not Always the People with

Some astounding figures as to the

told what it costs to maintain a steam
yacht, a racing stable and a garage

had presented to our mental vision the
spectacle of an American woman re-

a half million dollars worth Of Jewels

a year Is sufficient to enable it's DOS

OF social success In our great metropo"

would scale the supreme heights.
A pair Of pearl-embroidered slippers

Of clock In the world Is a clock fan
manufactured by Swiss jeweler. The
clock consists Of twelve leaves hinged
like an ordinary fan. The number
OF the hour is marked from one to

twelve hours, when 1t suddenly closes

BARRrCADEs IN HISTORY,
Cases in Which They Have Proved t,
 Be Effective.


 Baltimore Sun.
 The men and women who erected the barrtcades around which so much blood flowed during the recent riots in Lodz. Russia. were following time tried precedents. For the street barricade is the first thing which an otherwise defenseless population puts up when it means to fight authority. History has been made at the barri- cades. Nearly 500 years ago Paris, the home, apparently. of this sort of fight ing, barricaded its streets against the future Charles V; and two and a quarter centuries later resorted to similar defense when 4.000 mercenaries were marched in by Henry III to over awe the council of sixteen" The bar ricades were terribly successful then, for the soldiers would have been annt- Inflated had not the court consented to negotiation in time to save the rem- nants of the 4,000.
 During the three days revolution in Paris seventy-five years ago the popu lace showed that 1t had not forgotten. Men, women and children worked to build ramparts in the streets. tearing up the roads and pulling down build ings and trees for their materials. Louis Phillipe fell when the first bar ricade of the revoiutionaries was run up. There was a terrible fight to fol- lOns III lpdElSOn WllH WHICH IlidL at Lodz was insignificant. Sixteen thousand persons were killed and wounded and half as many taken prisoners. The damage done amount ed to $6,000.000.
 When Louis Napoleon seated him. self he remembered parricades and their power, and determined that he would have none of them. Ho made wide boulevards, which cannon could sweep with grapeshot; macadamized the roads. and did all that he could think of to make the barricading of the streets impossible. But the days of the Commune showed that the old art was by no means gone nor the pos abilities exhausted.
 London also has had It's barricades. On the occasion of the funeral of Queen Caroline, in 1891. the crowd barricaded the route by which the body was to have been smuggled out of the capital

 Paris Cable to N. Y. American
 sensation was caused by the un- expected death of the Baroness De Fon- tenilliat, who before her marriage was Minnie Smith, sister of Mrs. Oliver H P. Belmont, and a native of Mobile, Ala. She was married fifteen years ago to Baron Gaston De Fontenilliat, but this union proved a failure. the climax being her divorce four years ago in America, when the court gave her the custody of the child. The Baroness had of late lived in a magnificent villa at Maisons La Fltte, near Paris, but a shot time ago she fell i'll and was re- moved to the Bois CoIombos Hospital On being told she had only a few hours to live, she asked for a notary and wrote her last will In it she left all her money and jewels to her son, Rene, a boy of IA years. but under the strict stipulation that if ever he spoke to his father he was to be disinherited. The Baroness requested that her body be cremated and the ashes strewn over the flowers.
 Baron de Fontenilliat is at present in Russia, and Is returning at once to Paris. The rumor has been fulfilled that the boy would be taken by the Anne. ican relatives. and the friends of the Baron did their best to prevent any such action. Under the French law a will containing a clause such as the Baroness dictated is invalid and one of the greatest will contests ever seen in France Is certain to result. Young Rene, heir under the strange will of his mother, is now in New York, where he will make his future home with his aunt, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont
