WHAT Is TALKED ABOUT IN PARIS

accepted the portfolio shown every in
terest in the welfare of workers, and
every Monday he has received in au-
dence representatives of labor, whom he
has given much valuable advice.
1t goes without saying that there is no
more popular man in France than the
minister of labor.
Parisians are sympathizing sincerely
! with the poor Princess Louise Of Coburg.
who deeply in debt. and prosecuted by
her numerous creditors, has sent up
sorrowing wall about her troubles.

world. have but a mere trfie to live upon

She is really living in what she con-
siders exceedingly modest style. and has

To stamp out the curse of anarchism
which is spreading rapidly in all parts of
the kingdom in spite of the personal pop
uarity of the young King, the Spanish
government has decided to form a new
tribunal before which all cases of anarch-
lists are to be tried
1t has been found that trial by jury Is
very unsatisfactory in cases of this kind.
because Jury members are inundated by
the threats of anarchist orga nizations and
invariably acquit the prisoners.
From April ] the government has or
dered that in the provinces of Geneva ard
Barcelona, where anarchists are most
plentiful. they shall be tried by bench
of three magistrates instead of by jury.
The new rule may be an Improvement,
but what is to prevent the anarchists from
| intimidating the magistrates or killing
them off until it will no longer be pos
slble to fill their places?
A great sensation has been caused by
the announcement that YVette Gulipert.
who is so well known also in America, has
given up the variety stage and has taken
up the more Serious work of the drama.
Parlsians are wondering whatever they
will do without their "chanteuse, VINO,
with her half comic. half serious little
songs so greatly amused them. fvette
Guilbert has appeared in piece called
, .sTroubled Waters which was written
specially for her by Messrs. Edmond CUR
aud and Jean de Hinx
The public gave her a great ovation,
and she was called before the curtain
many times while all the time large
bouquets buzzed through the air and fell
at the feet of the talented songstress.
A curious outcome of the applica ton
of the Separation law has just come to
light here
Able Won Holebeke is the highly popu-
lar rector OF the little village Of st. Pau,
| in the department of the Disc. but he is
more than this; he is a talented landscape
painter. Since the Separation law came
| into operation the Able is of course with

Dutch school of painters, thrice as nnmer-

about one-third their average quality. A
few leaders of the Dutch group had, in
deed, made their mark years ago-Joseph
Israes, painter of peasant folk in gloomy
little cottages, or children on the sea-
snore, Anton MauVc, at his best a real
master of landscape with figures, under
Hollands brooding gray skies; the three
brothers Mars, and one or two more.
Now. these Dutchmen form decidedly
the most compact and homogeneous body
of painters now at work. Their pictures,
mainly of wholesome peasant life reflect
the same sad skies, and have "a pleasant
melancholy that is common propertY-n

blance between them all. And this is val
liable commercially since most buyers
feel safe when they get something that
