PARIS, September 25-Reports from
Marienbad are to the effect that there are
no more persistent watchers for King Ed
wards daily appearance at the waters of
Mar!enbad than the representatives of GER
tain French and Austrian tailoring firms.
His majesty serves as model for some of
hte best Paris and Vienna houses, both
cities claiming to set fashions in men 8
attire. One of the costumes in which the
king APPEARED on the promenade at Ma
rfenbad has created sensation. He wore
a dark blue short coat, white trousers. gray
TOP hat, brown shoes and colored shirt vii n
a double collar. Before the day was out
there was a rush to the telegraph office,
and King Edward had the sincerest hattery
paid him by orders being wired TO the
Austrian capital for exact copies. One
firm received seventeen and another ten
of these orders with frantic Instructions
to rush them OF to Marienbad as soon as
they were completed. Other orders were
received here In Paris equally large In num-
bers and demanded with equal impetuosity,
and II all who have ordered them wear
them on the daily promenade there will be
a surprising uniformity about male dress
at this watering place. The continental
handles did not wholly approve OF the cos
sume, but King Edward is their law Gen.
orally on the continent II Is considered
that brown shoes and double collars are
His majesty has now broken this prejudice
completely. He is as much the model for
male attire was the Empress Eugene
in her happy days for the opposite sex
and now sets the fashion for all fashionable
Europe.

HAMBURG, September 25.-The latest
prodigy in Germany is Paul Adametz. boy
of thirteen. the son of poor parents living
In Hamburg. He is born artist, and his
drawings and paintings have excited the
admiration of connoisseurs. Before his
tenth year he was drawing from nature
with marvellous technical skill and fidelity
He is fair boy of middle size, with dark
eyes and very intelligent expression. He
is very serious and cares little for playing
with his school fellows All his spare time
Is spent in drawing and painting his studio
being small attic In his parents house.
With few bold strokes he produces
drawing, which, while not without faults,
holds forth great promise. Sketches of the
shipping in the harbor, types of people seen
in the town and along the wharves are full
or life and observation. No one would
imagine them drawn from life by a boy OF
ten or eleven years Though the father,
who Is coal miner, is absolutely devoid OF
artistic leaning. several of the elder chill
dren in the family have manifested artistic
instincts The parents are too poor to pro-
vide proper training for the boy but a few
generous benefactors are helping them
