TRADESMEN
 ARE AROUSED King Disp1eases People
 of Windsor. IS NOT ENOUGH BUYING American Tourists Are Disap-
 bearing.
 EaElisA Magistrate D7smisses . Psup- CT and Provides Him witA Break fast-The Gossip of London.
BY RoBERT nRopERIck.

London, Dec. 1.-The royal borough of Windsor complains that King Ed- ward Is running it's trade by the mod ern methods he has introduced at the Castle.
 Under Queen Victoria, the trade of the town boomed because of the huge royal household maintained at the Castle, the Queens long sojourns there and the custom of buying in the town large part of the supplies for the Castle.
 All that has now been changed. The Court rarely comes to Windsor, ana when 1t does. usually for the purpose of entertaining foreign monarch, all the supplies are ordered from the big caterers and department stores in Lon- don. A bitter wall went up from the Windsor tradespeople during the Kais- CTS recent visit when they saw wagon loads of food and flowers going to the Castle. every pennyworth of which was bought in London. In Queen victoria's . time the royal borough would have made . handsome profit out of the fes- tfvities.
 Windsor lays the blame for the loss of it's trade on Lord Farquhar, Master of the Household. whom King Edward entrusted with the reorganization of his domestic affairs. Lord Farquhar is a keen business man, but his methods are too modern for the Windsor trades men.
 American tourists are another disap- pointment to Windsor. They come to Windsor simply to see the Castle, and hustle out again without having spent moro than will buy them lunch and q few postcards. Windsor regards the average American tourist as monu- ment of meanness.
 Eton College, too. has withdrawn most of its trade from the local stores. The supplies come from London, and even the boys tuck -shops'' have been are being ruined by the establishment or of a private store at the College.

Man Chained to Hou.e.

When the concierge of a house in the Avenue Malakoff came out the other morning he was astonished to find man chained up to the outside of the house. The chain was wound round the railings and round his neck and waist, and fastened with pad- lock.
 A crowd gathered and a locksmfth was sent for who cut the chain. and released the prisoner.i He turned out to be a Persian named Meryssouf Ibra- him. and 1t appeared he had chained himself to the railings and thrown away the key of the paddock in order to draw attention to his grievances. since the offices of the Persian legation are in the house to the railing of which he made himself a prisoner.
 Meryssouf came to Paris from Con stantinople to receive medical treat ment for a disease of the chest He applied to the Persian legation for as- sistance and was placed in a Paris hos pitaL For the last three months he has been discharged from one place after another and told he must live in a hot climate in order to he cured.

 Trouble Ove Portugal. a
 M. de Several. the Portugese Minis ter and the Kings friend and Court Jester has lost both his spirits and his appetite in consequence of the serious troubles in Portugal, but his friends state that the Marquis is much oppos- ed to the reign of Absolutism which has brought about the crisis and that ne has several times warned the Mon- oANH d60ihSL GttTeTne measures Tn dealing with Anarchists. M. de Sow eral has in fact become so AnglieizeJl that he has almost forgotten as he re- marked the other day how to swear properiyNn his native tongue and he has an intense admiration for the freedom of the British Constitution. Many city merchants are in a state of panic in regard to the state of affairs in Portugal and the Marquis has been inundated with letters seeking his ad- vice. About 250 million dollars of British Capital are invested in Portu- guese industries notably in the wine trade.e Queen Amelia of Portugal who was here for the Orleans wedding poured out her fears and sorrows to Queen Alexandra before she left for Paris and like the Marquis de Several, expressed her envy of the happiness and freedom enjoyed by British Royal ties.

ROSTAND HAS ! AN MODERATION French Poet Suffered From Appendicitis. HE REWARDS A vnLAGER Gets Rid of Nuisance of Barking
 Dog.
New Parisian Play satirises An Ameri- ca. Woman story of
 Josn of Arc is De.ied.
BY HENRI DUBOIS.

Paris. Dec, 14--Edmond Rostand, the poet, has quite recovered from his operation for appendicitis. although he is still obliged to keep to his bed or to lie on a couch for some little time He is however in excellent spirits and makes little poems on operations and incidents surrounding it.
 Rostand has just had an amusing ex- perience at the villa which he built for himself at Arnaga, In tho Pyrenees, whither he removed from Cambo- Some time back the poets household was greatly disturbed at nights by the loud barking of dog quite close to the villa. It continued for half the night, set all the other dogs in the neighborhood bowling and made sleep impossible.
 Casting about for remedy the naturally irate author was told of a neighbor. Basque viilager, who had great power over animals. and would be able to < rid him of the pest. Although sceptical. Rostand sent for this man, Failletout, and the Basque He did so. the poet and his family were able to sleep. again. and Faflle- tout was suitably rewarded.
 The matter was almost forgotten when suddenly the barking recom- menced as before each night. setting the hounds and CUTS of half the coun- tryside bowling and yelping and com pletely banishing sleep. Rostand was in despair.
 At last, very unwillingly, he sent again for Failletout. He began to ask the countrymap questions with regard to his alleged power over animals You must be able" said the poet 'to Initiate them pretty well?" Failletout, delighted at thus attracting the atten- ton of his distinguished neighbor showed him how he initiated to the life the noises made by various creat- ures--the lowing of COW, the bleat- ing of a sheep. the call of fox. the piping of blackbird.

 Rome

Rome.
 Rome. Dec. 14.-Since the separation of 1870 the Vatican has received no greater blow, to it's prestige than this years election of the Mayor of Rome. The new Mayor. Signor Erhesto Ma than. is Past Grandmastcr of Free Masons-who in Italy are violently anti-clerical, and. as his name im- plies. he also belongs to the Hebrew faith.
 Signor Nathan is an intellectual and energetic man, who is likely to give much trouble to the Vatican during his mayoralty. His election was due to the largo anti-clerical majority reccnt- ly returned to, the Roman Municipal Council. There is now likely to be open war between the Papal party and the civil authorities. who are natural enemies.

The London hotels are bent upon eel ebrating Christmas with a mightter splash than ever known lin the annals of these great caravansaries. For a long time there has been a movement to keep Christmas travellers from spending the season of Yuie in the great hotels of the South Coast of Eng land and Northern France.
 They have realized that empty hotels, especially at Christmas. go long way of spelling bankruptcy so they are do- ing all kinds of stunts to keep the anti-home birds in London.

Anelent sarcopAagus.


 The Metropolitan Museum. New York, will shortly have m interesting ad- dition to its Egyptian department. It Is an ancient sarcophagus or stone conn. which has been found by Mir. Lithgow. who is doing excavation work for the. Museum. at Sakarrah, near Memphis. the ancient capital of Egypt.
 The sarcophagus is massive block of black granite hoilowed out to re- ceive the body of some important per sonage. and provided with lid It's total length is eight feet, two inches. greatest breadth four feet, two inches, and depth two feet six inches, while the sides are about one foot thick. The lid Is beautifully carved with the head of @ man at one end. and the rest of the space is covered with hierogly- phics. There is also band of hiero glyphios running around the body of the coffin. The sarochagus was aug up from depth of more than sixty feet.

 One more French poet is being driv- en out of his favorfte haunts by the proEress of commercialism. Pierre Lo- ii is deserting the Basque country. where he had his beautiful solitary house. The forest of Biddarray, in the neighborhood Is being cut down to feed a tanning factory. EE
 The cascade of the Pas de Roland. a classical sight, is being imprisoned to feed factory. and the little watering place of Hendaye has been bought up by,.a society which is going to make 1t a tgo-ahead's resort.
 M. Pierre Loti was very fond of this region and of the game of pelote Basque which he. played there. But he is driven away and must seek poet ical inspiration elsewhere.
 Here's An Iconoclast.
 The history book story of Joan O. Arc is impeached by D'Arois wriggles- worth, an English artist, who declares that he can prove that the Maid of Orleans was meyer burned at the stake at Rouen, but that the Duchess of Worcester" suffered in her stead.
 MT. Wigglesworth claims to be a de- scendant of the Sieur d'Arcie, Mayor of Rouen, during the English oscupa- tion early in the fifteenth century-the period of Joan's meteoric gcareer He further declares that treasure belong ing to his family are buried under the ancient S"Joan of Arc" tower in Rouen, a fact which has just discovered in some old family papers. He is now seeking permission from the French government to dig for the treasure
 The remarkable statement that La Pucelle was not executed by the Eng fish as described in history seems with the other theory that the Dauphin Cor Louis xvII) did not die in prison but escaped and was re- placed by deaf mute, and rather more improbable. The story of Joan,s trial and execution is so complete and well authenticated that its disproof will demand 8 weisht of testimony which is very unlikely tp be unearthed. . after nearly five centuries.
 The incredible story of the "Duch ess of Worcester" being substituted for the Maid is vitiated by the fact that no Duchess of Worcester is known to have existed at that period.

satire on American..


 La Belle Miiliardaire." new five act play by M. Gugenheim and La Faure. which has just been produced at the Paris Ambigu. contains as its principal character an impossibly loud and vulgar American woman, who is possessed of great wealth.
 She Is married to the Due de Pre- meptal. and she is 'called Mary. The Due and Duchesse hate each other cor dially, and Mary for curious reason. wants to ruin her husbands reputa- ton. Tn order to affect this she bribes Freville. a parsonage half lover and half villain.
 The scheme succeeds: Freville is stricken with remorse, confesses to the Due. and the latter after upbraiding his wife. and embracing somebody who isn't his wife, blows out his brains There is another villain and another pretty girl in the piece. but they do not seem to have much to do with Mary. and altogether the piece is a rather confused rigmarole which is not likely to have very remarkable suc- cess.

An Acute Crisis.

The perennial conflict between the Hish peasant and the landlord class flared up into an acute crisis in lg's County, where the violence of to United Irish Leaguers has led to tle breakup of the famous Ormond Hunt. It has become impossible to continue hunting in the district be- cause of the determined opposition of the members of the local branch of the United Irish League, who went so far as to beat with sticks lady follow CTS of the hunt, and to knock them from their horses. The pack of hounds will therefore be sold. and the hunt abandoned. This means that $I00.00O year formerly spent Tn the district will be withdrawn and two, hundred men will lose their jobs.
