+ PARIS, March 2.-Crime has recently
become so prevalent and so varied in
its features that it has extended into
the idealistic stage and into the very
life of Parisians. Thus the case of the
little Erbeling girl, victim of MUIR
derer, Solleiliand, has appeared in
stanzas of verse deeply sentimental,
sold In the streets by hawkers.
The particular result of this crime has
been revival of sentiment in favor of
capital punishment, the argument being
that the state, and consequently the
taxpayers, should not be Obliged to sup
port the existence of such a criminal.
In reality there is some prospect of a
place being again found on which to
erect the guillotine, which now re-
mains stored in a government shed
pending decision whether head chop
ping shall be resumed in all its revolu-
tionary picturesqueness or the system
now In force continue of sentencing the
criminal to death and depending upon
the president to commute the sentence
to life imprisonment.

special SaDle To I1eEdlu.
COVENTRY, England, March 2.-La
Milo, the famous living statue, whose
appearance at the London pavilion
caused a sensation, came here with her
company, and it occurred to her, or her
press agent. to repeat Lady GodiVa'S
ride She was photographed on start
ing out, and after her return her pic
ture was sent to a London illustrated
paper with this account:
LAS the bell of the clock high up in
the tall spire of st. Michael's sounded
out sharply upon the frosty air two
hours past midnight a beautiful woman
might have been observed emerging
from building in the City of the Three
Spires seated upon a spirited and well
proportioned white palfrey, which quiv-
cred as the cold northeast wind cut 1t
like whip. But who was this fair
lady who had ventured upon the streets
like a second Lady Godiva, under such
conditions? Urging her horse forward
the equestrienne rode rapidly along the
streets of the ancient city. Old build
ings, some of which had probably been
erected not many years after Godivas s
ride, frowned upon her fair form, but
the moon looked down benignantly and
the stars twinkled encouragement to the
handsome horsewoman. Avoiding the
stone sets of the tramways, the mys-
terious one kept her graceful charger
upon the macadam portion of the mar
row and winding roads. Except the
occasional barking of dog and the
noise of the horses hoofs, not sound
was heard, and the twentieth century
Godiva passed through the slumbering
and peaceful city unmolested and un-
seen"

HUMANITARIAN STAMPS"
ARE URGED UPON FRANCE
speciai Gable to The Herald.

PARIS, March 2.-"It will be prac-
tical and easy way of almsgiving, and
z the government will not lose anything
by it," is the argument an important
body of philanthropists is using 10 con-
vince the French deputies of the wis
dom of their latest charitable project
that a new postage stamp be issued and
sold for twice the price marked on 1t,
half going to the state and the other
half to support INDECENT consumptives.
A person wishing to send letter to d
foreign country would buy "humani-
tartan stamp" as it is called, for 10
cents instead of the usual cents.
This scheme originated with DR.. Van
Wayenburg, and has already been
adopted in Holland, where it has met
with considerable success. The Dutch
stamps, twice the size of the ordinary
ones, were specially designed by artist
Der Kinderen of the Holland Fine Arts
academy. The symbols on them repre-
sent various means of vanquishing
tuberculosis, such as a head of wheat
and the stalk, standing for wholesome
food, and a dove, which calls to mind
fresh air.

LONDON ACTORS MOVE
TO GET HIGHER SALARIES

LONDON, March 2.-The successful
revolt OF music hall performers against
starvation pay has been followed by a
similar uprising among the actors.
The new movement manifested itself
at the annual election OF the council
of the Actors association, at which
the reform party-led by Granville Bar
ker who runs Shaw's plays at the
Court theater, and Henry Ainsley, the
husband of Susanne Sheldon-got con-
troll of the council, making a clean
sweep of the old members, including
Lawrence Irving.
The chief item In the program OF the
new council Is TO establish as the mini
mum salary $40 week, with several
other amellorations of their hard lot.
The leaders of the revolt look i'm the
last resort to strike OF the stage hands
against managers who refuse the con-
cessions demanded.

IS A Volunteer INSIDE
A B0MBARDED FORT
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
BRUSSELS, March at is curious
fact in connection with The complete
revolution which during the past twen-
ty years has taken place in artillery,
especially in the high explosives used,
that the world possesses absolutely no
knowledge of a practical kind of the eff
feet that would be produced upon, say,
the garrison of a casemated fort by the
effects of a bombardment under the
new conditions.
The casemates themselves have been
tested against the most powerful explo-
sives that can be used for shell, and
have emerged we'll from the ordeal, but
our sole experience of the effect upon
living beings within the casemate has
had to be drawn from shutting up ami
mails in them. A couple of years ago,
for instance, number of sheep were
shut up in an old ships 'barbette tower
and bombarded by the new French
warship, the Suffren.
During some recent experiments,
however, at the Belgian fort of Bras
schalte, a military expert was found
willing to make himself the much
needed vehicle Of certain knowledge.
The resisting power of shell proof
cupolas was being tested with dyna-
mite and other bombs, and Lieut.. Col.
Vandamme of the engineers volunteered
to remain in the cupola during the bonn
bardment.
He did so, and whilst he was inside
several dynamite shells of terrific power
exploded on the very center Of the GU
pola. When all was over, the brave col.
onel was found to/be no worse and he
stated that he had merely felt couple
of slight shocks at each discharge, anC

LONDON, March Mrs. Potter
Palmer left for Paris Thursday on her
way to Biarritz. Her last entertain
ment at Hampden house was a big din
ner party for Lloyd G. Griscom of
Philadelphia, the new American am
bassador to Rome. Mr.. Griscom Is
stopping at 3S Charges street and has
gone about a great deal with George
Won Langeske Meyer, lately ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, who goes home
to take a portfolio in President Roose-
velt's cabinet.
Among Mrs. Palmer's guests at the
dinner were Mrs. Adair, Mrs, John Les
lie, Capt. and Mrs. Gibbons, Ridgely
Carter, Winston Churchill and Lord
Kilmorey. There were more men than
women at the dinner.
Mrs. Palmer never does things con-
ventionally. No order was arranged
for going in to dinner.
Mrs. Palmer led the way into the
dining room. Her guests followed hap
hazard. The hostess wore a white satin
gown with gold embroideries that came
from India. Her ornaments were
magnificent diamond and sapphire star
in her hair and a single row of large
sapphires around her throat.
Mrs. Palmer is getting credit 1or
great coup in having secured the only
other suite on the same floor as King
Edwards in the hotel at Biarritz. Mrs
Palmer reserved the rooms three
months ago for dates which, as 1t
proved by chance, coincide with the
kings visit. Many applicants for rooms
have besieged the hotel proprietors
some having offered them eight times
the sum which Mrs. Palmer agreed tc
pay for the suite, but naturally she
holds them to their contract.
Princess Cantacuzene (who was Julia
Dent Grant,, Honore Palmer and his
wife and Nine. Waddington Will be
Mrs. Palmer's guests at Biarritz.
The duchess of RoXburghe is conva-
lescent and has been amusing herself by
overhauling her jewels. She has posi-
tive talent in designing settings for hel
gems. She called a London jeweler tC
Floors castle and they worked out some
wonderful patterns for resetting some
of the jewels she got as bridal gifts.
The duchess still hopes to go in the
kings party at Biarritz. She will be
very welcome If only for her invariable
readiness to play bridge whist for any
stake.

PARIS, March mime. Duffaut
and Mile. Charnier, woman pioneers of
the cab driving business, began their
quest for fares on Wednesday when
they sailed from headquarters upon
their new career, after having run a
gantlet of numerous interVieWers
and still more numerous kodak fiends.
They were told to drive first of all
to the headquarters of the society
known as the Assistance aux Ami
maux, in Rue Vaneau, to receive final
exhortations from their professors in
the art and mystery of cabmanship.
Unfortunately all the professors
were down with the grip, but veter-
mary surgeon took their place and de-
livered a short and eXtempore address
on the various principles to be OBJ
served such as driving at moderate
pace, ignoring rude remarks from the
public, keeping out of heated argu-
ments with the fares" and not try
ing to wear down the corners of the
curbStoneS.

GENTLY imp essed on the minds of the
two neophytes they were allowed to
face the inquisitive world, and less

of professional jealousy. A mere man
driver whom she encountered ad-
dressed her Familiarity as La Petite
Mere" and remarked that she was
holding her whip like a wax candle.
Nine. Duffaut disdained to reply.
Farther on, near the Central mar
kets, a woman, inquired pointedly
whether Nine. Duffaut's husband
mended the family hose, and a milk
man asked tenderly after her health
A market porter, saluting her with
tremendous sweep of his broad
brimmed hat, advised her never to
drive on the left. because that was the
side where the heart was.
A group of men drinking in a wine
shop cheered her and Justify invited
her to join them, and two small boys
ran after her with shouts of "Vive la
republique." All things considered,
she felt she had attained popularity.
Mile. Chartnier had a similar ex-
perience.
Both women had been making daily
promenades of the streets to acquaint
themselves with the task of driving
and becoming accustomed to the
mazes of the crowded thoroughfares.
One Rival Is Arrested
The majority of the hardened old
cabmen look upon the new competi-
ton with amusement, but there are
exceptions even to the gallantry of a
Paris cocher. The other day an i'm
polite camban drove zigzag and
grapevine fashion before Nine. Duff
faults cab, repeatedly stopping in
front and cutting her off and seeking
in every way to annoy. His idea of
humor was interspersed with epithets
of the vilest character and a threat to
break her jaw.
This continued a couple of hours
until somebody was seized with the
idea of calling the police. with the re-
suit that the cabman was arrested
and taken before a magistrate. The
severity of the magistrates judgment
on the cabman was confined to a rep
rimand, to which may yet be added
athe awful sentence Of being deprived
of the right to drive cab for at least
three or four days.

LONDON, March 2.-Lady Arthur
Pagets (nee Stevens) party for the
king was marked by an unfortunate
accident.
The hostess had been doing marvels
lately in the way of exercise, but on
this occasion had overtaxed her
strength, and when she rose at the con-
cluslon of Jeanne Granier's recitation
to conduct her to the king she some-
how twisted her ankle and would have
fallen had not Count Mensdorff, the
Austrian ambassador, rushed forward
and caught her.
Her pain was so great that she nearly
tainted, and the concern OF the king
and all present quite put all thought
of Nine Granier out of their heads
for time.
With the king on one side and Count
Mensdorff on the other she was half
carried to an invalid sofa in her boudoir.
There tea was served to all the guests
and they left before O'clock. The king
was the last TO take his departure.

gown of softest white mousseline
worked with white silk flowers, with a
