PRESIDENT LAVISH WITH GIFTS
Head Of French Republic Carried Rich
Presents TO Spain

President Loubet on his visit to
Spain made presents to an almost
oriental extent. Not member of
the Spanish royal family. from the
queen mother to the youngest infant
in arms, and not a person of any
standing at court was forgotten.
There was even costly present for
the municipality Of Madrid This last
and that to the queen mother were
superb. For her majesty the presi-
dent brought table service of the
choicest Sevres, including forty.eipht
figures representing the different
dances. This service resembles one
which adorns the table of the Elysee
on rare state occasions of the first
magnitude. The gift to the munich.
pality is a colossal Sevres vase of
perfect workmanship. 1t stands fifty
eight inches high and is ornamented
at the sides with highly effective
bronze work.

they were then called. is illustrated
by the following account which Hor-

writer, gives of a curious occurrence
at Whites coffee house in London.
In one of his epistles to Sir Horace
Mann, under date Of September l,
1850. he y "They have put into
the papers a good story, made at
Whites. A man dropped down dead
at the door, and was carried in. The
club Immediately made bets whether
he vas dead or not; and when they
were going to bleed him, the wager
ers for his death interposed and said
1t would affect the fairness of the bet,
