C0QUELlN HOME FOR
AGED ACTORS OPENED
INMATES OF RETREAT HIGHLY
PLEASED
Leading Members Of Dramatic Profess
sion Attend Formal Inauguration
of the nstitutlon-Paris Judge Is
Puzzled by Suit Against Dancer

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, June 1O.-The official inaug-
uration of a home for aged actors
founded mainly through the efforts OF
the Coquelin brothers, was attended by
leading lights of the dramatic profess
sion. The pretty new building at the
Pont aux Danes looked at its best
amid the luxuriant outburst of early
summer Verdure.
Invitations to the Inauguration re-
quested that all should wear country
dress, so Panamas and light suits
were the rule.
The natural dignity of the "artiste''
has been appeased by requiring each
inmate of the home to pay certain
sum for the privilege of living there
and ending his days in peace.
One of the inmates, charmed with
the home, was heard to say: 81 am not
sc rry now that 1 failed to make a
success"
Every actor, dramatist, critic, author
and theater manager in Paris has been
asked his opinion on the case of Mile.
Eva Sarcy, the star ballet dancer who
refused to appear in Massenet's He
rodiade' in any other costume than
the classic gauze skirts. Her mana
gers, the Isola brothers, claim dam
ages for breach of contract, and every
possible expert has been called as a
witness.
Nile. Sarcy argues that the historical
costume given her was "infra dig" for
a star, and the judges will have to
decide the point.
Mile. Sandrini, dancer at the Opera,
ic opposed to Mile. Sarcy's contention,
but all the other stars are loud in the
statement that a stars dignity is COM
promised unless she is attired In gauze
skirts.

Special to The Herald.
PARIS, June 10.-The friends of the
exiled poet, Paul Deroulede. are look
ing forward to his early return from
San Sebastian. 1t has been announced
the government has decided to with
draw its opposition to the proposed
amnesty and allow a bill to be passed
in parliament before the national fes-
tival July H.
Another measure of clemeney which
is creating comment is the rehabilita-
tion by a Paris court of Baihaut, the
erstwhile minister OF public works, the
only parliamentarian condemned and
imprisoned In connection with the
Panama scandals.
The decision reinstates Baihaut in

such appears to be the melancholy fact.
The announcement is that the injury
to the vocal cord cannot be remedied
and that the public has seen the last of
Emma Calve.
1t is said that her voice is so husky
that she is able to speak only in whis-
per. 1t is supposed that the cord gave
way through strain.
Madame Calve was engaged to open
the season of popular opera here at the
Waldorf theater, this series of perform
ances being a rival to the royal opera.
She did not appear at the opening per-
Torrance, writing a letter of apology
to the effect that she hoped to be able
to sing in the near future.
It now appears that this hope is never
to be realized, although some of her
friends still are trying to make them
selves believe that the report is exag-
gerated.

OBJECTS TO LIBERAL

Anthony Hope Scores Proofreaders

of His Works

Special to The Herald.
LONDON, June 10.-Anthony Hope
has a grudge against commas. 1t seems
that these marks of punctuation get
into his ,books-or into his proofsheets
lin much greater numbers than the
novelist thinks desirable, and that he

them out.
Hope may be said to have gone to
headquarters" to register protest re-
garding the matter, for he dealt with
his grievance at the annual dinner Of
the London Association of Correetors
of the Press last week.
The author told these correctors that
they were too liberal with commas, and
declared that If he submitted to them
as despots in many matters he stood
for freedom in that one. He also de-
clared that he did not think, unless It
were mans wife, that any one knew
more about another's weakness than a
proofreader about an authogs or as
sumed more tyrannical control over

Mikado's Envoy lmparts the Informa-

Shown Him by People Of
Great Britain
INTRODUCES IT IN ENGLAND

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 10.--A gift which may
or may not prove useful has been pre-
sented to the English nation.
Baron Suyematsu, having the desire
to express to the British people recog-
milton of the kindness which he has
received on all hands since his arrival
in England, invited guests to the Japan
ese. club, in King street. Convent
Garden, to explain what form the gift
was to take.
1t was found the Baron desired to
present, through the newspapers the
information that the common bracken
of the woods makes an excellent vege-
table if gathered in the springing stage,
when it breaks crisply as the shoot is
lightly bent by the fingers.
In Japan bracken, under the name Of
warabi, has figured in cookery books
from time immemmorial
1t was served in two forms at the
Japanese club one hot, the other cold,
and there were those who considered
seriously that 1t was well worthy a
place among the list of English vege-
tables.
In both forms it was tender, delicate
and decidedly palatable and might
compete with asparagus or spinach, to
both of which it has some affinity.
An essential preliminary to it's cooking
is the use of an alkali of some sort to
remove the bitter element.
In japan they soak 1t for a night in
wood ashes and water.
What was eaten at the club had either
laid in soda and water or been boiled
in that combination, made somewhat
stronger than that used for ordinary
green vegetables.
