Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 3.-The existence of a
new and curious business in Paris has
just transpired. This is the hiring
out of wedding presents to brides. so
that they may impress their friends
and their acquaintances with the num-
ber and value of their gifts. Jewelry,
lace, furs, ETC., are lent out for a con-
sideration, and after they have served
their purpose and been duly chronicled
in the newspapers they are returned

GUILLOTINE'S NEW HOME
Prefect of Police Said to Have Chosen
Site for installation

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 3.-The question as to
a suitable place to locate the public
guillotine has not yet been settled. M.
Lepine, the prefect Of police, says that
he has place selected, but he will not
say where it is. 1t is thought to be
near the Porte d'Ivry, or to be located
In the Morgue.
Significant in this connection is the
fact that President Loubet recently
pardoned two men condemned to death
for murder.
The five stones marking the place
where the guillotine was operated so
long on the square of the Roquette were
taken up during some repairing there,
but have been replaced, in order to
commemorate the spot.

EUROPEAN PRESS PUBLISHES
WEIRD STORIES
BID FOR PAPAL TREASURES
One Paper Declares the American
FlnancIer Offered Ton Million
Dollars for Pope's Documents
Concerning Columbus

Special Cable to The Herald.
AK LES BAINS, June 81. Pier
pont Morgan did not stay long in Paris.
A few visits, a. few receptions and
simple fetes and then he left and came
here for rest treatment. His peregri-
nations through Europe have attracted
great interest in the French press and
the widest of stories follow him. Ono
paper gravely tells that when strolling
with the pope through the Vatican
collection Plus x expatiated partic-
ularly on the immense treasure Of
documents concerning Columbus.
"These should be in the United
States" cried Mr.. Morgan, walking on
in moody silence. Then suddenly: IT
will give you $1o,OoO,O 900 for the lot"
The pope, according to the story,
pretended to take the suggestion as a
and, turning the Cardinal Merry del
Val, cried: "Ah, these American
princes. They deny themselves moth
ing; they are not in the way of SAL
vation."
Say Order Was Purchased
Another merry invention is that the
king of Italy gave him the grand
cross of the Order of st. Maurice for
handsome sum paid in cash into the
kings own hands, so that no record of
the transaction could be suggested.
| Then again the Paris Journal says
Mr.. Morgan purposes to write a book
entitled "Kings Who Have Shaken My
Hand" The Journal offers as better
title "The Passage of the Golden Calf,
and Things That Fell Down Before
It." These include already the chiefs
of state of France, England, Germany,
Austria and Belgium. Very soon Tur-
key is to be added, for Mr.. Morgan IS
to be received by the Shadow" at
Vildiz before his return to America.
The trust magnate and his party ar
rived last Saturday and will remain
two weeks, when Mr.. Morgan will go
to Lake Como to see his English part
ner, Sir Clinton Hawkins, who Is very
i'll there.
Lives Very Quietly
Mr.. Morgan has not yet visited the
Casino which is thronged nightly. He
lives very quietly. After light break
fast he goes to the thermal establish
ment for baths and treatment. I'm
like most people he disdains a sedan
chair and walks back to the hotel or
goes for a stroll; then until lunch he
is engaged with his secretary, Mr..
Douglas. The evenings are always
spent at the hotel, when two bridge
parties are made up. Mr.. Morgan
cannot be induced to use a motor, and
only on one occasion has he been per-
suaded to trust himself in one. This
was hast year, when he went for a
short ride with Ralph Hickcox.
There has been the usual pilgrimage
of curiosity dealers, for wherever Mr.
Morgan is there is their mecca. Mr..
Stern of the famous Frankfort firm of
Goldsehmidt, Mr.. Seligman of Paris
and Mr. Duveen have been here this
week, and from each of them Mr.. Nor
gan made valuable purchases.
