MOROCCAN AFFAIR AS II NOW STANDS Question Hangs Upon Two
 Main Facts SIZE OF WOMEN'S HATS One Would Almost Think That the Fair Sex Delighted In Defying
 Men-Headgear Is Now
 Growing Larger.
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

Paris, November 3O.--When one enters upon a consideration of the Moroccan affair one finds the question hangs upon two facts.
 The first is that whatever happens, and however she may be pushed, France will never start a campaign for conquest. The second is that this country has received from Europe the mission to organize the police of Morocco. or, in other words to deliver this great empire from bandits and robbers.
 Now, France cannot fulfill this import ant mission except by holding strong positions in the country, which gives the air of making conquests.--H Hence the convention of Algeciras, which made us the deputy of Europe in Morocco, is henceforward of no avail, and this is what our diplomats are shortly going to inform the concert of Europe.
 Either she will say, You must recog- nize our right to penetrate into the Shereefian empire, or we shall have to give up the task with which you have entrusted us,'' And as it is a certainty that no power will recognize our right to conquer, the convention of Algeciras will have to be swept away and a fresh congress will have to sit to settle the Moroccan question.
 Then France who will nave recovered from the silly enterprises born of the vagrant imagination of M. Delcasse, will withdraw again into her shell while Flu rope looks on with astonishment. We shall simply return home again, after hay

MINERS ENTOMBED IN FIERY DEPTHS
ELEVEN MEN ARE LEFT TO THEIR FATE IN A BURNING MINE WITH
 NO HOPE HELD OUT OF ULTI-
 MATE RESCUE.

Dryton, Cal, November a.-(Special.) )- With a wall of fire between them and freedom Il miners are entombed in the shaft of the Fremont mine at this place and all hope of rescue has been aban- doned. Of a party of 1S men who were lowered into the Fremont mine shortly after the noon hour today, two miners, both Italians fought their way through the binding smoke and blistering flames to safety. Their companions have not been heard from. One hundred miners have toied heroically all through the day in an effort to save their entombed comrades. In the shaft where the fire rages they have been driven back by the scorching flames. In the side difts they have been met by the binding suf- locating smoke, and now they must wait until the fire subsidies, in the faint hope that they may find the Il workmen safe from the smoke and the fire in some shelt- ering drift. The entombed party includes five Italians, two slavs and four Ameri- cans.
 It was shortly before 1 o'clock today when 13 men, the first shift, were low eISu uuSuSptCLllBlJ lIilO d hfiilB iui mace that ragged below them. The en- gineer in charge of the skip was equal ly oblivious of the fire that waited for its victims in the darkness below. A short, sharp signal to hoist was the first intimation of danger. The engineer re- versed his engine. It is presumed that t candle dropped through the eandlestick of some miner when coming on top and it fell on a greasy sill caused by the cable, and ignted.

London, November 30.--(Special Cable.) Two days ago there sat at my table a man who but a short time ago had been fight ing against my own nation, tall, power- full. with eyes that looked as if they had seen something beyond mans mortality. He had the bearing of a soldier, and re- minded me, not in physique, but in mind and manner, of General Gordon. General Joubert Pienaar was one of the most doughty officers of the Boers who fougnt during the late war; but when peace was established he was among the first to rec ognize that the consolidation of the South African states was for the best interests of the great continent. After the war commercial expedition took him into For tuguese territory, on the west coast. He had worked-and, indeed, fought-for Por- tugal. but suddenly he was confronted with the great problem which has been fought and settled in other lands the problem of slavery. The traffic in na- tives is carried on there with shameless openness, ignored by the Portuguese gov ernment, because many of their officials are involved in the trade.
 |. Tn EnBldUu we nave Itttlltly Dccii dWdh- ened to the horrors of the Congo, but nothing is more vile or destestable under Belgian rule that which is now being perpetrated under the Portuguese. Qui- etly and calmly the general sat and de- tailed to me the reign of terror which is existing in Angola, but he had a look in his face such as Lloyd Garrison might have worn, or Clarkson, when they deter mined by the help of God, to put down slavery century ago.
 The general had territory in Angola, he had practically invested his fortune in 1t, but when he took the aggressive attitude with regard to this traffic in human life, the Portuguese government confiscated his estates and left him practically penniless. My interests in the country" said the general, .amounted to about f50,O00, and I have been forcibly ldsposcsessed of this. '' The English government has assured the general that it is prepared to enforce a speedy restoration of the property. but" said he, with a quiver on his face and a flash in his eyes, "I will have neither money nor land. I will forego my claim altogether. in order that may give my self to suppress the slave trade and that none may suspect me of interested motives.
 ."At Principe. he said, T first heard of the terrible conditions which obtained on the west coast, for in that sea lie the islands which are the most unhealthy

sure to be a reaction very soon, and al- ions tell us that common sense will soon abolish these absurd fancies of the women of 1907
 One of the wealthiest and most fash ionable of our country house hostesses, the other day, not knowing what fresh thing to do to give occupation to her guests, deposited in the halls of her coun- try home large book having at the head of each page these worlds "Complaints of guests.'
 One day, two days, three days. passed and the pages remained blank. At last, on the fourth day. one morning when she was feeling particularly annoyed. in her bedroom she had the book brought up. hoping to find in it something to amuse her.
 Her husband leaned over, and this is what they read together: "If you are looking for motives for divorce I know some very good ones and am ready to in form you of them" Your husband is much too garrulous. If he goes on talk ing so much all your guests will go away
 Baron, your wife deceives you, so they say-luckily not with me- My wife has been i'll all night; the cooking is much too highly seasoned for her" And so on.
 The fashionable hostess closed her book of complaints with a snap and determined she would never again question her guests.
 One of the subjects which is most occu- pying high Parisian aristocracy at this moment is the coming of new duke the Due de Chabot. This is how the new duke has suddenly come into the world.
 Comte Guy de Chabot the bearer of one of the greatest names in France was not satisfied. lie wanted the title of duke and so he went to Rome and bought one of the papal chancellor for huge sum of money. But, as the Pope no longer holds temporal power. the titles he confers can only become official after they nave been registered by the chancellor.
 Comte de Chabot went through this for mality and thus became an Italian duke, but this did not suffice for his ambition he wanted to be Duke of France. To obtain this there was but one lmethod-to obtain a title of Grandee from Spain be- sides his duchy, Spanish grsndees from the time of Philip V being accepted by the French law as giving tight to bear the titles attached to them. But this ex- pedient is extremely costly. and if we are not yet saying that the DuQ de Chabot is ruined. we soon shall be.

A Few Scattering Remarks By Ali Yusu
Cleanliness"

We pride ourselves up on this point. Look any where you choose in the Jacobs store = at the floors, in the corners, in the show cases, in the Pre- scription Department.
 See how balances are all ways polished, how mortar and pestle are always im- maculate, how bottles and shelves are always free from dust.
 Then look into some stores that carp about cleanliness-that claim to be first-class.
 Stores dirty and sloppy and slovenly kept.
