rural method of maintaining good roads, in con-
sequence of Mr.. Morgan's recent adventure with
the city. After vainly trying for months TO
have the pavement on his block repaired by duly
authorized and unduly slothful officials. MI
Morgan finally sent a check TO the Controller

some of the residents In our municipal Castle
of Indolence are delighted with the precedent
which the 1nancier sets. For If every property
owner will take his cue from Mr.. Morgan and
have his own sidewalks and pavements kept in
repair off1ceholding will be more truly a rest
cure than ever before.

oUTCRY AGAINST FORMER EMPRESS
Government, in Response to Popular Clamor
Appeals Suit of Eugene.

Paris June 2.-The hostility of the French
masses toward former Empress Eugene, widow
Of Napoleon III. has been strikingly illustrated.
The ex-Empress. who since her return from
exile has divided her time between the Hotel
Continental. in Paris and the Riviera, some
months ago brought suit TO recover a large num-
Der of articles IN the French national mu-
seums on the ground that they had been the
personal property Of her husband, and OF
no historic and little intrinsic value" The case
attracted no attention at the time, and prac
ticaly went by default, but recently, when the
court decided in the .eX- Empress's favor, a tre-
mendous outcry was raised. The popular news
papers took the matter up, the ex-Empress WAS
called an "adyenturer," and old stories prejudi-
cial to her We're revived The "Matin," under
the caption "Au Voleur!" r'Stop Thief,'O inves-
tigated the claim and found that the articles
given 10 her by the court included gifts to Ma
poleon III from sovereigns and foreign states
tapestries paintings and other objects of art
and some relics of the great Napoleon. The
experts employed by the paper appraised the
value of the ''pundeT' at close TO million dol
lars. The result has been that the government
in Difference TO the Clamor has formally entered
appeal against the decision.
