LONDON. June liking Edwards $ royal" memory was strikingly exem- plified when he received the news of the birth of the Spanish Grown Price.
 The telegram was handed to him on the race track at Kempton Park, and after sending off a message of con graduation to Madrid, his Majesty said to his entourage: Do any of you remember the last time received news of a family event on a race course?"
 The courtiers were obliged to con fess that their memory failed in that particular, and the King, pausing a moment, said rather gravely: Tt was twenty-three years 20, at Aintree."
 He referred 10 the death of his brother. the Duke of Albany, who died while the then Prince of Wales was at Aintree for the classic Grand Ma tional Steeplechase.

Several Others Who Cham pioned the Army Captain Find Great Honors at Hands of the French People,
Especial Cable to Reiyew0. Ry Henri Dubois.


 PARIS, June The reaction from the injustice of the Dreyfus trial has set in with such intensity that France is going to the opposite extreme in bnoring all who were connected with the famous affairs" Zola, who made Dreyfus's case his own, is to be placed at the Pantheon, although his talent as literary man was nit of the highest order; Piquart has been made Minister of War, and now monu- ment is to be erected to the late Ly- dovic Tarrieux, senator of the Gi- ronde and ex-minister of Justice, who took such a prominent part in the Dreyfus agitation some years ago.
 The monument takes the form of bust placed on a pedestal, on which are inscribed the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. On either side of the statue are two beautiful female fig ures representing Work and Justice.
 In front another superb female fig ure and 2 beautiful child are strewing flowers on the steps. The work, which shows great artistic conception. is by NJ. Jean Boucher. the well known French sculptor.
 America is Tevolutionizfng Paris. The French are adopting, one after the other, the American systems and practical way of doing things. The latest is the adoption of the Auto eall'' ticket, and everybody who is anybody is signing it.
 So great has been the enthusiasm for this new innovation that everyone is talking about 1t, and it bids fair to become the one outstanding social feature of the 1907 spring season. The horse, which was doomed to disappear from the streets as a means of loco motion. will be all the more speedily removed than would otherwise have been the case.
 The system of the "Auto-call,s as worked in Paris is as follows: The Association has set up st each auto mobile station or stand small kiosk similar to the newspaper kiosks with two or three Hyeried servants of the Auto-cali Association in attend ance. If one has a telephone and is in addition subscriber to the system. ali one has to do is to telephone to the kiosk nearest to you and make your request for an automobile to be sent round at once.
 If there is a car vacant the attend ant sends it round at once, but should there be none at liberty at that par ticular station you simply have to telephone to the next nearest and so on. Taxi-Auto subscription tickets are being sent round to all the houses and the Parisians are succumbing to | the great advantages offered, and all Sare full of admiration for America which always goes one better" than

Suicide with Paris
Green.
Miss Annie Busse taxes
her own life!

The town was thrown INTO con
siderable excitement last Wed-l
nesdsy evening by the \reportl
that young girl living with the
family of H. H. StriebecR had
committed suicide by taking
Paris green. The young girl
was at home by herself when she
took the poison, but when it be-
gan to act she ran to neighbours
house, saying she had taken poi
son and to call a doctor, as she
was going to die. A doctor was
called at once, but the girl was
! beyond medical aid and death en-
sued in a short time. There is
no visible reason for the act and
she had been in the best of spir-
it's when Mrs. Striebeck left her
to go visiting. Her parents, who
live near Breslau, were advised by
telephone and arrived next morn
ing. They are also perfectly in
in the dark as to why their
daughter should destroy herself
The poison was in liquid form
and had been used for killing
potato bugs and other insects.
Justice Habermacher was call.
ed to the scene to view the body
and rendered verdict as above.
The girl was only about II
years old; the remains were ship
ped to Halletsyille by rail and
taken thence to BreSlau by,an un
Gle of the girl, Mr.. Ferdinand
