PARIS, September I'M. DelbreI the
Frenchman who acts as chief Of the staff
tender, is now on the boulevards enjoying
the tropical sunshine of Paris, which is
becoming positively baleful to ordinary res
idents. The adventurous M. Debrel will
remain here on business for few weeks
and will then return to Morocco. He has
been received by several influential politi-
clans here, and has given them an account
of the state of affairs in that country The
sultan's rival is, according to NJ Delbrel,
in very good odor with the Spanish gov
eminent. On the occasion Of the marriage
of King Alfonso with the English princess
the pretender's horsemen gave a splendid
fantasia at Mellila, and in the evening all
the representatives of Muley Mohammed
were accommodated with the best seats
in the theater, the sultan's people being
relegated to back benches. What is more
important than this, according to Muley
Mohammed's chief of staff, is that the
Spaniards are establishing at Mellila a
receipts are to be paid. The bank WILL
when necessary, make advances to Muley
Mohammed, and the Spaniards are also
undertaking other enterprises, such as the
construction of market and of narrow
gauge railway line, and the establishment
of coasting service with Mar-Chica, by
all of which the pretender will profit. The
King of tie Belgians is said to be interested
in the establishment of the Mauro-Spanish
Bank. and to have subscribed $4,000 toward

during the past few weeks of no end of
artistic gossip. Among the players was
Mile. Tordek who played the part of a
roguish page. Even during the Mozart
festival much was made Of scandalous
and malicious fabrication concerning this
gifted lady, by which it has been stated
that Duke Ludwig of Bavaria is petition
ing for a divorce in order to marry her
AS a matter of fact Mile, Tordek is a
friend of the dukes wife-he is, like all his
predecessors, a good friend to all artists
and the whole tale is an entire fabrica-
ton
The Bavarian royal family have ever
been more attached to art in one phase or
another than to the glories Of either a
military or political career. On the OPEN
Residenz Theater-it is attached to the
royal palace or rather the old winter gar
den by corridor and is under the same
roof as the opera houSe-was Prince Lud-
wig Ferdinand, nephew of the prince re-
gent who reigns in place of King Otto.
This young man is highly gifted amateur
V1olinist and often plays with the orches-
ira of the opera. He was in the hidden
orchestra one of the violins when the
special Wagner performances began in the

that the Englishwoman, who is fashion
ably dressed, middle-aged lady, called upon
them and arranged to place her two girls
at the schools for two years, offering to
pay the fees in advance. She wished to
see her girls settled, she said, because she
was leaving for Calcutta to join her hus-

LITTLEFIELD'S LESSON,
Walla Walla Statesman.

Walla Walla Statesman.
Congressman Littlefield's own opin
ion that Samuel Gompers helped rather
than hurt him is confirmed by the
opinions of press correspondents who
declare their belief that if it had not
been for the appearance of giving a
victory to the labor leader Littlefield
would have been defeated.
Congressman Littlefield's trouble
has been a domineering disposition.
He has not only run over his district
roughshod, but he has tried to ride
the state in the same way. The peo-
pie have resented it. Mr.. Littletield
appears to be of that type of public
men who, with great abilities and
genuinely good impulses, are found
deficient in the matter of sympathy
with their fellow men. They cannot
touch elbows nor keep step. Such men
are generally admirable, but it is not
possible to use them in a democracy.
The tight squeeze he has had may
be useful lesson to Mr.. Littlefield>
He may have learned that serving the
public is often a matter of tact as
we'll as of push. He has been valu-
able member of congress, but there is
no reason to believe that his value
would be reduced by his acceptance of
the attitude of other public men, that
they are servants and not masters of
the people.

ATHENA, ORE, OCTOBER. q, 19ot

The Elgin Recorder discourses on a
subject that aptly fits all communs
ities. The Recorder says: "As has
been the case for the past several
years, after the beginning of school,
the postoffice is crowded at mail time
with school children, many of them
having no business there. This prac-
tice is not only aggravating to the
postoffice officials but to the public as
we'll. When school is out they pack
into the building thicker than sar-
dines, creating complete jam. 1t
hinders the employees OF the office in
their work and makes it very disagree
able for those who have business
there. If the parents want their
children to get their mail il is all
right and no one can say word, but
usually the one sent after the mail
takes from one to half dozen friends
as they are on their way home from
school and it is this practice that has
occasioned SO much dissatisfaction.
Parents should see to it that their
children are kept away from the post
Office unless they have business there. "
