CHAPTER ii.
At the Golden Lion

IT was the evening of the Kings name-day.
There banquet at the Palace, and the
lights in its windows twinkled in sympathetic
response to the Examinations which blazed on the
public buildings and principal residences of Slavna.
Everywhere feasting and revelry filled the night.
The restaurant of the Hotel de Paris was crowd
ed every seat on its terrace occupied; the old
inn of the Golden Lion opposite the barracks in
the Square of Saint Michael, a favorite resort
of the officers of the garrison, did
trade no less good; humber hostelries
full of private soldiers, and the

CROWS AND SHOTGUNS.
Missouri Farmers Go Prepared FOL
Feathered Vandals.
From the 81. Louis Globe emoo

From the 81. Louis Giobe-Demoerdt.
ST. Louis county pioneers used to carry their
musk cts or rifles to the fields when they went
out to plant or till the soil. Farmers in the
county still carry guns or protection. not
from tho Indians or wild beasts but from the
crows.
Otto Kempe. whose farm adioins the famous
Grant farm, is one of the "embattled farmers"
OF st. Louis county. He finished his second
planting Of a twenty acre cornfleld yesterday
with a gun strapped to his back and breathing
defiance to the feathered vandals.
Kempe neglected to take his gun along on
the occasion Of the first planting. The crows
watched his movements with interest. No
sooner had the farmer withdrawn than an
attack was concentrated on the corn which
Kempe had planted so hopefully. The farmer
was amazed to discover that the crows had
torn UP his cornfeld and carried of the seed.
Kempe became desperate. and yesterday
made UP his miad to plant his corn again. He
brushed up his shotgun, oiled the trigger and
loaded it brimful with anticrow pills. The
crows have learned by experience what this
means. Not one showed up during the cere-
monies.

RUMANrAN LAB0RER's HARD LOT.
Poor Homes and Long Hours ef Work IN
the Fields. -.
From Ms Southern Workman

Probably no workman In the world to-day
Is more to be pitied than he Of Rnmania, the
little Danubian principally In which agrarian
conditions are so acute that a revolution
parallel to that Of France. though on q smaller
scale. may be anticipated at any time.
The Rumanian laborer Is Q simple hearted,
kindly, fellow. He Is rather tall. with, the
sallow complexion Of the French and with
an unmistakable sadness Of countenanoe
born of long centuries OF misery. The homes
OF these laborers. are grouped In villages and
these villages are like those OF the Dahomey
people at the world s fair-mere novels Of
earth, for the most part. consisting Of q single
room, With a protruding roof to form a portico,
In which the laborer spends his few hours Of
ease.
Inside these homes show varying degrees
OF culture. Some OF them have their walls
covered with white cloth much huted and
adorned with rows OF lace In lieu of wall paper.
Still others. however. and these are In the
majority. are forced to content themselves
with a coating Of whitewash tinsed with the
blue that Is so popular In Rumania. The
humblest simply have the wattlings oiled In
with earth to keep out the winter winds.
Here the laborer sleeps and spends the winter.
In other seasons at sunrise the men OF the
family and all the women except the one
whose duty 1t Is to attend to the home take
the ungainly Cape buffalo and make their
way TO the fields. there to plough and SOW and
reap in most primitive fashion. To keep the
plough down firmly In the furrow the little
ones sit upon the frame while the father
guides the team.

theatre, had to come to the foremost play
house OF the city and appear In Mile. de Ia
Seigliere." She had a great triumph.
The glory Of the Theatre d'Orleans as the
home Of opera departed forever when the
present French Opera House was built.
An accident to the old house made II plain
that the city needed'a theatre worthy Of it's
size and importance. The present theatre
was finished in November, 1859, and opened
with a performance Of IL Trovatore" on
December 2; There was a dramatic oom-

subsequently, applauded In New York sang
first at the amous French Opera House..
Anna Belocca, Castelmary, Louisa La
Blaohe. Marie Litta and Petrovitoh were
some Of the artists who came to know this
country first In New Orleans.
Adelina Patti sang with the company from
time TO time, and Amalia appeared at the
opera house In concert. In 1868 there wal
an Italian troupe for a few performances,
but the language Of opera here had TO be
French. In 1887 Pappenheim brought
Adelaide Phillips, Charles Adams and Tag
gapietra, and Gerster came In 1881 with
Strakoseh. Throughout all these years the
French opera continued the performances.
Old timers to this day recall, however,
tho season Of 1881 as the most brilliant the
opera house ever knew.
