matter Of increasing difficulty for a
living English artist to find a market
for his wares. says the Academy. The
middle classes appear to have con,
cluded that original pictures are en-.

with moderate income, and content
themselves with photographers. The
wealthy. on the other hand, appear to
consider picture-buying merely in the

of Disaster.
A young man. inheriting a vast for
tune, got the mistaken notion that q
great inheritance makes a great man.
In three years he ran his course, and
is now serving as a point to many a
moral tale. Those who were fawning
and hattering few months ago are
now tittering and pointing as he
passes by. And, If the young man has
any brains left, he is probably in the
mSJt pitiable state of humiliation.
1t is an everyday occurrence. The
office boy who does not know how to
take raise of so cents a week is just
as good an illustration as this very
conspicuous young man. And the
moral of his disgrace will be missed
entirely il every man, however OBJ
scure, does not take it home to him

FRANCE DEMANDS RELEASE OF
CITIZEN AND FULL REDRESS
FOR HIS ARREST.
DISCIPLINARY MEASURES PROPOSED
MINISTER WILL BE RECALLED
AND TROOPS WILL OCCUPY
MOROCCAN TOWN.

| Paris, Aug. 25.-The ministers. un-
der the presidency of Premier Roll-
vier, held a lengthy special session
during the day. 1t was principally
devoted to a consideration of the dis
ciplinary measures to be taken against
Morocco should the sultan not yield
to the demands of the French govern
ment for redress for the recent arrest
of a Franco-Algerian citizen.
An official communication says that
unanimous approval was given to the
instructions to be sent to the French
minister at Fee and to the subsequent
action to be taken to compel the sui
tan to give complete satisfaction.
The nature of this action is not dis
plated the military occupation of a
Moroccan town near the Algerian
frontier, probably Oujda, owing to it's
proximity to a large French garrison
IN Algeria and to it's strategic impor-
lance, as it commands the route to
the interior of Morocco and the cap
ital Fee. The latest official advices
from Fee show that the sultan contin-
ues to hold the Algerian a prisoner.
Following the meeting Premier Rou-
vier sent instructions to the French
minister to demand the immediate re-
lease of the prisoner, informing him
that a military demonstration would
be made in case of a negative re-
Spouse.
Later it was announced that the
ministers had decided that in case
Morocco refused the French demands
the entire personnel of the French
legation would leave Morocco stimuli
taneous with the military demonstra-
ton.
The foreign Office expresses conf
dence that the sultan will yield before
the military operations begin. His
response is not expected before next
week, when the final decision will be
taken concerning the military expedi-
ton.
All the leading powers have ap-
proved the determination and firm
action of the French government.
