MUNICH. June 1O.-There have been sew
eral dramatic moments in the court at
Munich where witnesses in the ROYAL The

palnfuI picture Of the merciless gossip
petty intrigue and heart-breaking atmos-
phere of the life behind the scenes. Coun-

many years the chief stage manager told
of the harshness with which he had been
dismissed after more than twenty years of

gress the rigid formalities. Then in an i'm
passioned voice, with tears trlcking down
his wrinkled face, he recited how Baroness
speidel had ordered him dismissed with the
observation that the Royal Theater had TO
be rid OF his old carcass
The baron interviewed at this point to ex-

Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Csblegram to The Star.
LONDON. June 10-To those who for any
considerable time have driven automobiles
in this country nothing is more remarkable
than the rapid Increase in the number of
ladies whom one meets driving their own
cars. Indeed in the course of any after
noon run in the neghborhood of London
or near any of our great cities to pass
other cars driven by ladies is an incident
SO ordinary as not even TO excite remark.
And now that women are beginning to
enter the arena as professional chauffeurs,
with the idea of driving automobiles at a
regular weekly wage. it may be interesting
to note the names of some of these gentle
women who by their own example have
done so much In the past to pOpularze
driving among women.
1t may not be generally known that there
is an automobile club for ladies'; ii has it's
headquarters at Claridge's Hotel. where 1t
possesses most comfortable premises. There
very large number of members, and
the Duchess of Sutherland is the president,
the vice president and committee being
composed of ladies. many of whom are the
wives OF men whose names are household
words In the world of motoring.
Some time ago this club held Compet-
ton in Raneegh Park, in which the com
petitors were the Hon. Mrs. Maurice Gift
ford. Mesdames Harry Adams, Ernest

all OF whom drove their own cars Just as
we'll as, and in some cases better than, any
mere man would have done in various tests
and trials which comprised a bending race.

considered our most distinguished lady

Picture Frame Workers Plant,

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, June 1O.-For many years 1t has
been the pride and pleasure of British
gilders and picture frame makers to pay an
annual visit to the Royal Academy, where
they can inspect their own works of art"
that is the picture frames as apart from
the canvasses. This year, however their
feelings Of pleasure have been turned into
feelings of Indignation owing to the dis
covery of the fact that even this essentially
British avocation has been cut into by Ger
man picture frame makers. OF five por-
traits of Prof Won Herkomer. for Instance.
it is complained four have been framed in
these foreign holdings. and the plant Is
made that the works of other artists show
a similar discrimination against the British
workman.
IF the academy does not stop this sort
of thing, British gilders and frame workers
will soon go the way of many other trades
said one glider in discussing the matter.

GLUT OF LABOR AT DUBLIN.
Consul Moe Cables That There Is Great
Scarcity of Employment.

United States Counsel Moe, at Dublin,
has sent a dispatch to the State Depart
ment suggesting that the public be in
formed that there is a great scarcity Of
employment in that city and that Amer-
cans should be discouraged from going
there in hope of employment. as what little
work there is to do is given to natives. He
says that the consulate has been overrun
by destitute Americans who had gone TO
Dublin since the exposition opened, in the
hope of getting something to do. They had
appealed to him for assistance in getting
back to the United States, and it was dill
hcult for him to make them understand
that the government does not furnish any
money for that purpose.

Henry David Thoreau.
From St. Nicholas.

About ninety years ago there was born in
Concord. Mass, a boy who never really
grew to be a man, though he lived forty
four years. 1t is true that he got to be tall
and strong, with a deep bass voice; that
he wore a beard, and that from all external
appearances he would at once have been
taken for full-sized man. But at heart he
was always boy. He never got over the
habit of looking at things from a boys
point Of view. Instead of regarding the
world as a place for serious business. where
men must work so many hours day and
produce so many dollars worth Of goods,
and till the fields and labor hard in fac
tories. or offices. or stores, and get along
instead Of all these things. he always
seemed to consider the world as great,
fine, glorious playground-a place to be en-
joyed and appreciated. This man-boy was
Henry David Thoreau.
