which grew out of Marshal MacMahon's very similar attempt to bring back the Bourbons. in the person of the chiyal- rous and impractieable Compte de Cham- bord.
 Perhaps the strongest claim of Clem- enceau to the gratitude of his country and the admiration of the world is the splendid stand he made for justice and the honor of France in the famous Drey- fus ease. when, for month after month. he wrote ringing articles in defence of Dreyfus, calling for justice against con- spracy and organized betrayal It Is in the last degree interesting to read the passages of warm enthusiasm in which he lauds the manly part played by Col one1 Pfcquart In the Dreyfus investiga tion. and 1t warns our blood to sec him choose the same Pcquart. now a general, as his minister of war. Chiefly to these two was due the rehabilitation of Frances honor in a legal struggle that [ shook the world.
 In the tremendous scandals which grew out of the Panama canal. Clemenceau was himself fiereely assailed, and forgery and conspiracy were freely used against him in the chamber, in the press and in the courts. There are few finer scenes in modern history than that of the chamber of deputies when Paul Deroulede stood up in the tribune to denounce Glenn enceau, and in denouncing. in spite of his his passion of hatred and torrent of in vective, little by little revealed the weak ness of his case, and finally. shamed and put to confusion. almost fled from the tribune and the chamber, while Clemen- ceau, who had sat still as a statue from the beginning, burst out into Homerle laughter.
 From 1893 to 1903 Clemenceau was out of politics. He wrote many brilliant ar tices--a work on the philosophy of na- ture, Great Pan," and novel of social life "rhe Strongest q play laid at the court of China and some admirable crit icisms. Then. in 1903. he was returned to the Senate; this spring he took portfolio in the Sarrien ministry, and now we see him at last prime minister of France.

The Correct Thing In Birmingham.

In discussing the latest correct thing n engraved work a society leader of an- other city said today: You people, here in Birmingham don't know how much you should appreciate having an engrav ing and embossing plant right in the city, which is something few southern cities possess. With us even. we give our orders to the stationer or jeweler and ne sends them off to be executed. I notice that most of the handsome at homes and wedding invitations which l have seen are being made by Roberts & Son, whom 1 understand operate their own plant.
 "Yes, 1t is n great convenience getting the work here, for the other day we found after our invitations were all ready to mail out that We needed sixty more at once and of course if we had sent off for them they could not have been got ten In time, but we just phoned to Rob erts 6.

 A appeared in tho theatrical firma- 1 \ ment and it has daZzeled all who have beheld it. Mme Ala Nazimova is the star new to us because she comes from Russia, a country of which we know little when it's stage is to be dis cussed. Mime. Nazimova has scored a complete triumph in "Hedda Gabler' which difficult role she plays in English with the most piquante and interesting accent.
 She is thoroughly at ease as Hedda for her interpretation is familiar to her countrymen Russia knew and recog- nised her talents but we do not always choose to accept the favorites of foreign countries When Mime. Nazimova ap- peared for the first time in America at a little theatre on the East Side it was in the powerful Russian play, 'tThe Chosen People''a which caused so much politi- cal discussion in her own land that the company decided to take it to other countries thinking that it's appeal might benefit that class in Russia which has been so greatly oppressed. "The Chosen People" played by Russians was a bill of alluring charm to those New Workers in search of novelty. Managers ever alert for a possible find in theatrical tall ent took the trouble to look over the Russians. They left the cheap little theatre filled with admiration for the unusual ability which had entertained them. The entire company seemed gifted and the two chief players, NaZimova and Paul Orleneff possessed positive genius. The pity of it all was that no one spoke a word of English. Mime. Naximova her self tells the rest of the story which should inspire those with difficulties be- fore them
 It was in the dressing room of the beautiful Russian at the Princess theatre that I had my first opportunity of view ing her at close range. had been in this very room a few days before and tis atmosphere was strictly American; now it appeared quite strange, for unfamiliar photographs were on the walls and doZ- ems of telegrams and cablegrams in Rus sian greeting the curious eye. Bits Of color here and there lent picturesque ness of tone to the ensemble. while there before the dressing table in the fore ground of the picture sat the one figure, La Belle Russo herself Somehow she always makes me think of an orchid with it's exquisite shading from pale lav- ender to deepest purple. Just fancy an orchid from Russia, where all is snow and ice and bitter cold. That is the strange incongruity In the impression given by Mime. Nazinova. She Is Rus sian and yet of the tropics. Her acting possesses all of the keenness of the northerner, with the grace and languor of one who has idled away life some where .n the immediate vicinity of the equator.
 Mime. Nazimova sat there before her mirror as beautiful without her makeup as with it. It is perfectly true that her eve lashes are, as Blanche Bates de- scribed them to me.

 What do you think of Bernhardt and Duse?"
 What can I say about the two great est actors on earth" answered Nazmova. "They are so entirely different that they can in no way be mixed up. I must tell you of my first impressions of Bernhardt, which were gained from a graphophone. which shouted her great scene from La Sorciere, In which she arraigns the church. It was everything except any thing which in my mind could be related to the wonderful Bernhardt, but when l saw the Divine Sarah herself, oh what difference She is truly divine and adore her I love Duse. too. Each is so perfect in her way that it would be inn possible to choose between them. My school of acting is not that of Bernhardt nor is it that of Duse.'
 May ask what it is?' I inquired.
 Madame gave an amused glance out of the corner of her long eyes. She had fin ished her make up and her eyes were still more wonderful than before, for like Mime. Bernhardt, she has originality in applying the colors to her face. She closed here eyelids almost to the lower fringe of lashes and said

 The canned-meat trade has been very seriously injured, with the result that the class of cattle known as can ners are now bringing a lower figure than we had known for many years.

Thompson & Dundy have succumbed to the roller-skating craze, and opened to the public in Luna Park what they declare is the coolest, most commodious and inviting rink in Greater New York. The floor space embraces nearly fifty thousand square feet, and experts worked for days to make it's surface a perfect area for the sport. The rink became instantly popular feature among the myriad attractions of Luna Park "The Great Train Robbery" con- tinues a great public favorite. New action provides added realism each week. 'The Mountain Torrent" an aquatic ride of picturesque novelty and beauty, supplies diversion to thousands by day and by night and crowds throng in ceaseless procession to the "Ohutes, "The Dragons Gorge" the Scenic Railway" "The Old Mill" "The Laughing Show" and the other big and little entertainments.

Princess Charlie-or Princess Maud, to give her the name by which she was officially known-was brought up very strictly. She was not permitted, it appears, to read a book or to see a play unless the book had been read or the play seen. She was never allowed to make visits unaccompanied by one or both of her parents, except to the home of her French governess, and never received gifts except from her own family.
 Curiously, too, the number of her toys was limited. Nearly all her dolls which were few in number-came from the Marquis of Lorne, with whom she was a great favorite. She was ten years old before she was al- lowed to own a watch.
 Yet this little princess had a pretty happy time. She cared for music and became an excellent pianist, learned both German and French from her two governesses and received a very care 1 lful religious training. In connection with this 1t may be recalled that she was christened, not in the chapel roy- al, as was then customary, but at Marlborough House, and that Dean Stanley offioiated on this important occasion.
 Princess Maud was child of varied tastes, a devotee of hobbies. She liked riding and cycling -and likes them still
 got very fond of photography Gin which art her mother is so skilled), took up book binding, learned to spin and studied many handcrafts with more than passing interest
 No doubt too, her influence in stim- ulating other girls usefully to occupy their leisure time was very great. Ant when she was married the dressmak- ing class at the Peoples Palace made for her q tea jacket, of which the bride was and is now extremely proud.
 She os still great reader and is sait to retain her early affection for tht works of Owen Meredith. She ha! travelled extensively, knows Russian likes yachting, plays chess and take abundant joy in living
