PICKPoCKET is PATRIOTIC
French Woman Says She Confined
Her Operations EntireIy to Ma
tivea of Germany.

PARIS. Oct 15-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)-In Paris the police have dis
covered a woman whose peculiar sort Of
patriotism has been compared to Boule de
Suif in Guy de Maupassants story. She
was arrested recently for having robbed
German merchant of $3.50. To the magis-
trate she made strange declaration. She
said that her main object In life was to
decoy Germans and rob them. She went
about with them to cafes and music halls
and while affecting to be very interested
in them she picked their pockets. In this
way she had annexed for several years
past over $500. She had picked the pockets
of exactly sixty-seven Germans and she
was proud of it. As her reason for thus
acting the woman said that in 1870 her
family in Normandy had been completely
ruined by the German invaders, who stole
her fathers cattle, pigs, fowls and even
plate. She was then Obliged to go out as
a dairymaid. but not being accustomed 10
servitude she came to PaHis and began
waylaying and robbing Germans. . The
magistrate listened to thi tale calmly. 1t
evidently made no inpre zion on him for
ne sent the new Boule ge sbdf TO the depot,
there to await trial.

RIGHTS OF AMERICAN FISHERS
Gloucester Vesselowners VIII Ask
Secretary Root for Interpretation
of Treaty of 1918.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. oct. 15.-As a re-
suit Of the policy recently adopted by
the Newfoundland government TO restrict
American fishing rights on the coast Of
Newfoundland, Congressman Augustus p.
Gardner and Benjamin A. Smith, one of
the largest vessel owners of this city, left
for Washington to discuss the situation
with Secretary Root.
Originally It was decided that the coll
leetor of port, William III. Jordan, and a
committee from the Board OF Trade should
accompany Congressman Gardner and Mr..
Smith, but this plan was abandoned, mas
much as It was felt that Messrs. Gardner
and Smith weer fully qualified to deal with
the situation. The object of the trip to
Washington is to obtain from the head
Of the State department an Interpretation
OF the treaty of 1918, by which American
fishermen were guaranteed fishing rights
on the Newfoundland coast A similar trip
to Washington was made last spring, but
thus far no Interpretation of the treaty
has been made by the Department Of
State.
At the conference which will be held
tomorrow Congressman Gardner and Mr..
Smith will ask Secretary Root for an inn
mediate Interpretation.
The vessel owners of this port say they
are prepared to make a test case of the
matter IL any Gloucester vessels are in
terfered with by the cruiser Fiona The
Newfoundland government claims New
foundland fishermen are shipped at Glou-
cester and in order that this cause of
complaint may be eliminated the schooner
Dauntless. Captain Charles T. Young, will
sail from this port tomorrow with crew
of twenty-four men, all of whom were
shipped here and none of whom belong
to Newfoundland. Captain Young believes
that he cannot be interfered with by the
Newfoundland authorities and he is plan
ming to sell his catch of herring to Other
Gloucester fishermen, who will bring it tc
this port.

TESTIMONIAL FOR AN EXILE
O'DOnOvHp Rosss VIII he Given Cash
by Admirers ON Return


DUBLIN, Oct. 15.--Csbecial Cablegram to
The Bee.)-At a meetik of the Old Guard
Union testimonial funt Just held in this
city the subject of the future OF ODonovan
Rosa came UP for disclission. CoIhmunca-
tions from Borris-in- -ossory. skibbereen,
etc, were read. The honorable secretaries
of the skibbereen O'Donoyan Rosa testi-
monial wrote that in Difference to the
wishes OF some OF Rossa's friends their
committee had decided upon keeping the
fund open for some time longer. The ex
pected return of Mr.. O'Donovan and his
wife at an early date to Ireland had ma
terially strengthened the decision come to.
The Skibbereen committee, like the Old
Guard Union committee. had to complain
OF the tardiness of certain gentlemen and
associations In remitting the money col
lected by them for the testimonial The
Chairman said he was very proud of Cork
for having unanimously elected Rosa to
the position on the staf of the county
council. The salary would not be very
much, but supplemental by a little an
nuity purchased from the proceeds Of the
testimonial fund it would be sufficient to
render the old patriot comfortable sub
sistence for the rest OF his days.
With the view Of augmenting the funds
already in the hands OF the Old Guard
union, Mr.. o'Brien suggested that a concert
Of Irish music should be held in the ro-
tunda or some other suitable building. Mr.
O'Brien said that he he'd already received
numerous offers of assistance from gifted
artistes. At the next meeting Of the Old
Guard union committee a program would
be submitted and the members would then
set to work to make the concert thorough
success. The suggestions made were unani-
mously agreed to and when Mr. Rosa re-
turns to Ireland he will be given rousing

Demand That Body Of Famous Actor FiHd
Resting Place In Historic Pile.
coNDOLtNcE FOR HsTRIoWC FAMILY
King Edward sends General Roblyn
with "a Personal Message from
Himself and Queen Alex
andra.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-That the body of Sir
Henry Irving should find resting place in
Westminster Abbey appears to be very
general desire. An editorial in this morn
ing's Daily Telegraph says:
The nation will, we are persuaded. ask
TINS honor for him with no uncertain voice,
and we know we interpret the wish and
feeling of the country when we plead for
public interment in the Abbey.
The flood Of tribute of admiration and af-
fection is increasing. From King Edward
downward men Of all classes, including the
great church men, are giving public ex-
preston to their feelings on the sad &C.
casion, nearly all dwelling as much on Sir
Henry Irvlngs personal character as on his
histrionic talents.
Death Due TO Hard Work.
1t seems to be beyond doubt that Irving
sacrificed himself by hard work. He had
been advised a long time ago TO give up
arduous roles like that of Matthias in THE
Bells" owing TO the strain thrown on his
weak heart, and only last week he had been
persuaded to omit THE Bells in future.
1t appears for several years past the
weakness of the lungs had thrown an undue
strain on the heart. Sir Charles Wyndham
says that in. February last he begged Sir
Henry to take warning and not to burn the
candle at both ends with receptions In the
morning and exacting performances in the
evening
Tribute from All Classes.
Many interesting touches are revealed in
the tributes of Sir Henry's friends For in
stance, Forbes Robertson says that Sir
Henry told him it was his financial sue
cesses in the United States that enabled
him to create his success at the Lyceum
theater in London. General Booth of the
Salvation Army, Toole, the actor, and Sir
Theodore Martin were among the veterans
who FASTENED to express the sense of loss
the world has sustained in the death of the
distinguished actor.
Nothing has yet been decided as to the
funeral arrangements, pending the meeting
of theatrical managers which Sir Charles
Wyndham has called for today. and which
probably will decide to ask the dean of
Westminster Abbey 10 permit interment in
the Abbey.
