CHARLOTTE. BRoNTE.
Her Courtship Recalled by Death OF
- Her Husband

From the Ionden Chronicle
Now1that Charlotte Bronte's kind and de-
voted husband has. passed from the world,
it is no longer intrusive to make one COM
ment on the demure old story of the mar
rage of a genius. The strangest thing In
that rather dull incident was the convention
requiring woman to treat her lover with
so much inhumanity as then prevailed
When heroine Of Sir Walter Scott's is ad-
dressed by an admirer who is, at any rate,
doing his best Qike the pianist in the Amer
lean story. she generally says to him This
this is ungenerous," referring not to her
conduct but to his. When Mr.. Nichols. an
excellent man Charlotte somewhere calls
him, in all prim good faith, consistent and
punotuaD made her an offer OF marriage,
she says. II think half led. half put him
Charlotte Bronte was thirty-seven; she
had had imaginative experiences; she had
not written lane Eyre" without excursions
and alarums Of the blood. Yet that is how
she reports herself face to face with good
clergyman of her own age, making her
human. proposal. When the engagement
was established year or so later, the lover
paid a visit, To- hers fathers parsonage: and
then She complains in the dreary tone of
letter-wrItipg. that preciudes the idea of
joke, that her needle-work in preparation.
for hers marriage was interrupted He
hindero1 me for full week" Lowell, in
one of his essays, tells us that he watched
two sparrows nest building, and noted how
the. joyous billings of the little cock were
cut short by the prosaic Industry of the lit
tie hen.' And this man and woman must
have been very like them.
How different was Shakespeare's idea Of
what Is dignity in lady. for when we
dislike something "old-fashioned," we can
genesallY,zl eoka fesss the ,antidote in some
thing still older-fashioned. Thus 1t Is not
to present ways sof making love that we
turn for refreshment after Charlotte
Bronts' ssstory, but to the ways of "A VIM
ters Tale" when, as Leontes says:
Three Grabbed months had soured themselves to
death,
And clap myself my love-; then didst thou utter,
II am yours forevet.''
How thoughtful, how deliberate, and what
a resplendent frankness!

RosrAND's FAIRY PALACE.
Home Of Author Of "Cyrano de Der
gerac" at Foot Of Pyrenees.

From the New York Sun.
Paris has Just awakened up to the beau
ties of the retreat which Edmond Rostand.
| the author of "Cyrano de Bergerac' and
"f,,Aielon" has constructed for himself at
the foot of the Pyrenees 1t Is talked about,
written about and pictured as fairy pal
! ace. standing amid scenes Of Incompatible
natural loneliness.
The place is at Cambo. between Bayonne
and Saint Jean Pied-de-Port. and the poet
has been living there for the past five years
| What he bought originally was a little old
BASQUE house.
JIpholsterers and decorators were set at
work on It at once to modernize its tnte-
rior and there he and his wife took up their
residence with their children. The new
house was begun two years ago. Rostand
sIjperintended the driving Of every nail and
every stroke Of the decorators brush.
The house Is situated beyond Cambo on q
picturesque hill which forms a sort of pro-
montory overlooking two valleys, those Of
the Nive and of It's tiny afhuent. the brook
of Arnaga, after which the estate is called.
! While modelled on the old Basque chalets
the house has touch OF the Byzantine

auaintness and distinction. The surround
ing ground is laid out in terraces rich In
flowers from March to November each year.
On the ground floor of the house three
rooms open on a great entrance hall. They
are the dining room. the library and the
salon. These were all decorated by artists
of national repute. Caro-Delvaille, Mile.
Dttfau and Henri Martin.
On the floor above are the dramatists
work room and the boudoir Of Mme Ros-
tand. This latter Is the gem of the house.
The walls are covered with freseoes painted
by Jean Weber, representing scenes from
fairy lore. They tell the story Of Cfnder-
+, ella. Puss in Boots, the ASS Skin and the
Sleeping Beauty In the Wood.
E~sWith the Rostands two friends are domi-
ciled, Pascaud, painter. and Louis Labat

and artistic friends visit the house. but 1t IL

not talk about Paris. its furries or its vani-
ties The poet considers 1t essential to his
genius to isolate himself from the turmoil

Ambiguous Epistle from Iowa
Senator Causes Commotion in
Political Circles. <.,>
Special to The journal.

Des Moines, Iowa, March "a COM
motion has been caused in Iowa politi-
cal circles by the circulation in this
state of a. letter written by Senator
Dolliver, in which he declares for the
primary election system and the anti
pass law, and gives an Endorsement of
George D. Perkins qualification for the
office Of governor.
Instead of modifying the Oummins
supporters, this letter has only intensi-
fed their opposition to Mr.. Perkins.
Discussing the letter, the Register and
Leader says that if the Iowa de1ega-
ton in congress thinks it can say who
shall be state officers in Iowa, there
will be shake-up in the delegation.
: The friends Of the governor say that
Dolliver indorses Cummins' platform
and that Mr.. Perkins cannot say he
stands on this, platform. Again, they
an Endorsement of his character, which
all will d., but he does not say he is
for Perkins as against Cummlns. The
Perkins supporters, however, claim that
the letter is highly significant, as it
comes from the man who made the figh1
for the president s rate bill against the
railroads, and that it disproves thu
charge that Perkins is the railroads
candidate for governor of Iowa.
Mr.. Perkins, it is understood, is hav
ing 10000 copies of the Dolliver lette'
printed for distribution. e l'.>

the fact that he was born in Virginia
