PET PIG IN HER AUTO.
London. FfPunch" Satirizes q Boston
Girl Now on a Tour in Europe.

London Punch has published set of
verses about Miss Rosamond Dixey of Bos-
ton, entitled Wake Up, England, because
the young woman is said TO have her pet
white pig sitting up beside her when she
goes out in her motor car. Miss Dixey is
the daughter of r. c. Dixey of Beacon
street, Boston, and last fall she made stir
at LenoX by winning honors in the Gym
khana races with the pig. She is now
travelling abroad and the little pig is seeing
Europe also.
When the Dixeys went abroad nothing
was heard of piggy Dixey going, too, but
the appearance of piggy beside Miss Rosa
mond in her motor car leaves the inference
that he is making the tour and attracting
due attention. =
Motorman Illustrated. an English automo-
bile magazine, noted the fact that Miss
DlXey invariably has her pet fat, white
pig, sitting up beside her in the front of her
motor car, so the Punch poet seized the OPP
portunity and in three semi-satirical verses
he calls on the ladies of England to wake
up lest they lose their regulations for
being up to date.

Value Of Character.
ON the Voice of the Negro

FROM the voice OF the Negro
In a commercial age, such as We have
fallen upon, he who dares to call attention
to character-building as superior to money
getting, runs the risk of being counted out
of joint with the times. At the risk of run
ming against this mad and merciless saw,
the editor declares that the greatest need of
the hour Is not money, but character. 1t
was said once that mans life consists not
in the things he possesses. That statement
has not been outgrown in the restless march
of time. The race has been misled into the
notion that its chiefJbusiness was to make
itself acceptable to The owhite race or to
overtake that race. ACTING under this false
notion O. Its existence. many have been
swept downward into ttH1 maelstrom in a
vain struggle after adr Interchangeable COM
modify to the neglect efahe weightier mat
tiers of the law They have been the per-
petual prey Of Wild and Mnsound notions as
their life purpose. To Mold up before any
race the idea of overtakfIg another race or
OF trying to make Itself acceptable to an
other one. is a false idea of life and leads
to perversion of the truth of it's existence
and to mistaken policy in life.

RAILROADS IN ABYSsINIA.
terests of France and Great Britain.
Movement to Reconcile Commercial In.

From the New York Sun.
There took place recently In Paris gem
eral meeting of the International Ethiopian
Railway Trust and Construction Company,
at which were present the directors of the
French Jibutil and Harrar Railway Com
pany The object of the gathering was to
consider the best means of reconciling the
commercial interests of France and Great
Britain in Abyssina. and In that part of
Africa generally. The full details of the
not made public and probably will not be
published for some time yet, az they are
complicated and in respects conflicting
The French company was originally
formed to construct line from Jibutil to
Harrar, with prolongation to Adds Abeba
the capital of Abyssinia, conditional on the
consent of Menelik The French govern
ment voted a subsidy of 800 600 francs an
nually: but the French investor was still
under the influence of the Panama catas-
trophe, and refused to come forward with
the capital required. Much against its will,
the French company had recourse to Lon
don, and with the assistance obtained there
the road to Harrar was completed. The
question of the continuation to Adds Abeba
then came up. but the French asked too
much. They not only wanted to assume
their position as first in the field. but also
desired to exclude all outsiders from Abyss
sinia. When Menelik. after the publication
of the convention, game fully to realize its
import, he obstinately refused to recognize
French monopoly of railway construction
and exploitation in his country. and de-
ferred to an undetermined date the extern
sion of the railway from Harrar to his cap
ital. The object of the French being pa
cific penetration" other methods of over
coming the difficulty had to be found.
The one that presented the best chance OF
success was the formation of an interna-
tional enterprise under the auspices of GER
tain capitalists in London. and the aban-
donment by the French government of the
hope of turning Abyssinia into an exclusive
French preserve. What the difference to
Menelik may be, If at some time he finds
himself at odds with several foreign cow
ernments instead of one only. over railway
or other questions. say of gold fields. must
be reserved for time to show. For the rco-
ment he seems to be under the belief tnta
he can best exercise his sovereign rights
over his own country by keeping out In
dividual foreign interests. at all events
those of countries which have become his
neighbors by the occupation of adjoining
territories. 1t was this consideration that
caused him to give ready and favorable
consideration to the treaty with our gov
eminent, and which has inclined him to re-
ceive the German mission under Herr Rosen

DEATH OF MAURICE BARRYMORE.
Breakdown Occurred While Playing
Four Years Ago.

Maurice Barrymore, the actor, whose
death was reported in The Star yesterday,
was married in 1876 to George Drew, a
daughter of Mrs. John Drew and sister OF
John Drew. the well-known actor. Ethel
Barrymore, the actress, was his daughter
and John and Lionel Barrymore his sons.
His breakdown took place about four
years ago while playing at a theater in this
city, when he suddenly lost his lines and
began to talk incoherently. Later he was
removed to a sanitarium. Although he had
been in poor health ever since his break
down, his death was unexpected.
One of his successes was as Wilding in

An Alleged Den Scene of Big Haul

One of the largest raids which the po-

the house no sound could be heard nor
were any lights visible from the win

door of the place, which was found to be
locked A policeman was put on guard
while the others went to the front door.
They approached very quietly and as the
squad quickly turned the corner of the
house they accosted a man who was evil

seized in a moment, before he had time to
make any outcry, and was hurried to the
rear of the house. where the policeman on
guard at the rear door took him into Gus
tody while the others went into the mouse
through the front door.
When they arrived at the foot of the
stairs, which were extremely dark. the
squad halted for a moment and then step
ped lightly up the steps toward room
from where they could hear sounds which
seemed to show that the game was in

slightly ajar, and as they peered In the

Two Men Escaped.

When the officers stepped into the room
there was a grand rush for the windows,
and two of the occupants succeeded In
leaping through the apertures.
The men in the room at the time of the
appearance of the police were Charles Fred

Holmes, James Gray, Charles Lee, George

George Washington was one of the men
who leaped through the window, and the
police later found that he was wanted upon
a charge of serious assault, they having
been on the lookout for him for some time.
When he landed upon the pavement under
the window the policeman on guard below
quickly placed him under arrest and ordered
him to lie still.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
made two trips to the house, being crowded
each time.
This raid is the first of a number the DO

ton, the material has been segregated SO

prehensive glance at all that has ever been
collected in his line. Each piece OF metal
and mineral has story attached to it, but
IL is too long to be told to the man who
has but two hours to spend in the museum.
Moving north again from this big hail
one finds two other geological sections. one
of applied geology and the other of min
erals and meteorites. Here one finds many
real gems as well as copies of the most
noted and costly crown jewels of the wof,d.
This is the section where the women seem
to love to linger. and one wonders in seeing
them porting over the cases of crown jewel
replicas whether they know half the dark
romance and bloody intrigue that has fol-
lowed each of these great gems in its pass
age from hand to hand and crown to crown.
