Man on the Kaiserin Hinted That HIs Poker
was Too Good.

Over the results of a poker game a nose
was pulled aboard the steamship kaiserin
Auguste Wet oria, which locked here yester-
day.
The puller was George II. Forester "of
London. That's enough, old chap; II doesn't
matter a damn what my business is" The
pullee had pull enough 20 keep his name to
himself.
At first Mr.. Forester didn't seem in
clined TO tell what he knew. Later he gave
tins narrative. Things got pretty lonely,
~ a small number of us in the smoke room
had a few drinks and then Sotne one pro-
posed hat we have a little game of Ameri-
can draw poker. | didn't know any of the
chaps at least not many Of them, because
they didn't seem generally to be my sort,
you know. But the ones that proposed the
game did seem a good lot of Johnnie and

about poker, but | lost and so did another
chap and made no noise. II was all IN the
game wit n me and l thought the others
were sports, o know.
But il seems that this other fellow, who
lost, wasn't. He was bally well put out
abou il, but he said nothing until lawst
night. Why. ! had forgotten there had
been a poker game and that ! had lost,
when lawst night in the cabin up comes
this Johnnie and awsks me for $40.
Now, you know, | simply looked at him
in surprise. | did remember his face az
one of the players-but that was all-and |

What for? | awsked him and he had
the assurance-nerve you say in America, |

I told him that he was dreaming he got
nawsty. Positively nawsty, you know, and

THINKS JAPAN MEANS WAR.
That Is, II We Don't Back DOWn-French
Paper Pessimlstic.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sun.
PARIS, Dec. e.-Ld Libsrt6, referring to
the optimistic declarations OF the Japanese
Embassy here, says that these may be re-
corded without any surprise for on the
eve of the Port Arthur surprise the Japan
ese Ambassadors at Paris, London and
Berlin expressed just as cheerful senti-
ments. There had reached the Foreign
Office alsrmist reports from Toxic, which
appeared extremely excessive in the
presence OF Japanese diplomacy's smiles.
This optimism was then expressed in the
identical terms which are used to-day:
There cannot he war because we shall
obtain the satisfaction due US Practically"
This adroit method allowed the Japanese
representatives afterward to declare that
Russian intentions had deceived them,
they being convinced that Russia would
yield. These recollections are not useless
to-day. Hence the elements of the solu-
ton must be sought in America, not Japan.

Law Proposed In France Fixing POst-Mor-

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE sun.
PARIS. Dec. "a serious movement has
been undertaken in France to insure TO
artists their rights In their works not only
during their lives, but for the benefit OF
their heirs. The project has been acadelnl-
cally discussed for a long time, but the
movement is now taking definite form and
NJ. BRAND, Minister of Fine Arts, has prom
ised TO support it in Parliament.
Among the leaders of the artists who
secured NJ. Brands promise Of aid are
Besnard. J~ourdsin. Lecomte, Desvallieres
and Delpeuoh. The latter il president OF
the Amis du Luxembourg. The timeworn
instance of Mflet's sale for $500 OF The
Angelus," which was resold in Paris for
$3.50, 900, his heirs not getting a penny, If
brought up again.
A newer instance is that of the widow OF
Lepine, who is obliged to go out and do
days workyas a house servant, while Leplnes
paintings are selling for 1000 apiece. IL
is pointed out that Sisley, whom blindness
compelled To live in "A hut, died not sus-
pecting that his masterworks would soon
sell at fabulous prices.
IL is argued that the litterati and dramatic
composers are no more entitled to oon-
tinued rights in their works han painters
and sculptors. The organizers Of the
movement do not. of course. seek TO i'm
pair rights obtained at a private sale but
aim to have the Government, which now
collects 10 per cent. additional on prices bid
at the Hotel Drouot sales, levy 2 per cent.
more on works Of art sold at auction there
and pay this TO the artist or his direct heirs
until fifty years after his death.
Figures show that 1 per cent. on the pub
lie sale prices of the works Of many painters
only recently lead represents from
$500 to $500 annually, enough to have pre-
vented the widow Of Lepine doing daily
drudgery.
In short, a specific law has been drafted.
which NJ. BRAND promises to Introduce in
the Chamber of Deputies to effect the de-
sired end.

What Will Cure
A Bad catarrh
A Noted Doctor-Preacher OF Atlanta
Seems Able to Permanently Cure
This Disease by an Entirely
New Home Method That
Is Attracting At
tentfOn.
SENDS 1T FREE TO ANYONE
WITHOUT EXPECTING PAYMENT

Those who have all along doubted
whether there really was permanent
cure for eatarrh will be glad to learn
that an eminent Southern doctor
divine. ]. w. Blosser by name, has
discovered n home method whereby
catarrh can be cured to the very last
spec without regard to climate or con-
ditions. and so that there shall be no
misgiving about 1t he will send II free
to any man or woman without expect
ing payment, for while others are
spending fortunes in advertising DIR.
Blosser uses his money to build up his
discovery. and therefore he can afford
to send a trial package free and let
the results speak for themself.
The doctors discovery Is radically
different from the schemes that the
country has recently been flooded with,
and the results he has achieved seem
to mark a new era in the scientific cure
of chronic catarrh, foul breath, hawks
ing and splitting. stOpped-up feeling in
the nose and throat, coughing spells.
difficulty of breathing. catarrhal deaf
ness. scratching in the throat. asthma,
bronchitis and the many other symp-
toms of bad case of catarrh. The
first days use will clear the nasal pas
sages and the lungs. and then the ca
tarrh germs are dispelled and you are
forever freed from this annoying dis
ease.
The doctor Is willing to rest his case
on the free package he sends you. and
the fact that his company now occu-
pies four large floors would seem to
prove that his discovery Is genuine;
so send your name and address with
out delay to the DR.. B1osser Co., $40
walton St, Atlanta, Ga, and you will
receive the free package, illustrated
book, etc. The least you can do Is to
find out wha. the doctor has got. as
you can't be anything out, one way or
another, and you surely should be
