in Paris some fifty merabers Of the po-

Some sixty Of them joined two months

they had no aptitude for languages.
Those remaining are divided, Cor Eng

on. and those who have already made
goor progress. They come every day in
their uniforms and cause no small ex-
citement among their neighbors. who
on their first appearance thought some
terrible crime must have been com
mitted in the school.
The advance class. led by a young
lady, has now reached the stage where
they can hold little conversations with
each other, and this is how # is done.

NEW SCANDAL
IN KAISERS COURT
NObleman Suddenly Dis
missed From Position
at Berlin.

BERLIN, Nov. 9.-Berlin has had
another court scandal. which has been
summary disposed of and is not likely
10 result IN a lengthy trial such as fol-
lowed the Eulenburg "camarilla" dis
closures. The person involved, a meEl-
Der Of q noble family. held a high posi-
ton in the household OF the crown
prince.
one day he had a row with a coach
man, who revenged himself by giving
the court marshal information about int
nobleman's character. This resulted in
the latter having an enforced interview
with ;he court marshal who there and
then dismissed him from the princeiy
household.
So summary was the official action
that the accused man, who was about
to drive out in a four-in-hand when he
was summoned TO the court marshals
Office. was obliged 10 descend from the
box and go with two officials to appear
before the marshal forthwith.

LONDON, Nov. al have been read
ing an article in one Of our leading Lon
don daiIles as to the curse of mag
nation" At first could scarcely be-
lieve that the writer was writing in
sober earnest He compared the ad-
vantage of the Roman over the Greek,
saving that the Greeks remained
children ever. because they wove Won
derful stories of beings that haunted
lonely fountains and whispering woods.
and consequently they found themselves
no match for the prosaic Roman who
preferred stories which have some edu-
cationaJ value"
we are too enlightened" continues
the writer, Ito believe the assertion Of
Wordsworth that Heaven lies about
US in our infancy We have TO learn.
thanks TO a practical. positive spirit
that If we foster the natural illusions
of childhood we shall reap the inevita-
bic harvest of a fatal injury to the
supreme Importance Of truth, and in
the quaint turn given to TINS quotation
by an American humorist. we shall
realize the temptation to Lie about
ourselves in our old age"
OF course all this sounds plausible;
it really Is the most futile nonsense.
All the really important things of the
world are unseen-the ether that binds
the spheres. the electricity which is the
great force Of the universe, the cur
rents OF wind which can carry mes
sages on their wings-al these things
are intangible. Are they not real2 And
so about US lie unseen influences and
presences which are Just as real and
Just as potent as the material beings
that thrOng round US.
Judged, therefore, from this stand
point the Irish peasant has really
grasped the great values Of the world
far more surely than the pushful Eng
Hshman or American
No one understood this better than
the great novelist Charles Dickens, and
No one had a more practical side tc
his nature. In a unitarian age, o.
all other times" said this author, 1t Is
a matter OF grave Importance that fairy
tales should be respected. Our English
red tape is too magnihcently red ever
to be employed in the tying up of such
tribes but every one who has eonsid-
cred the subject knows full we'll that

DRESS COAT RULE
UPHELD BY DINERS
At LONDON HOTEL

LONDON, Nov 9.-Sumptuary laws.
as rigid as those at King Edwards court,
are enforced at the fashionable restau-
rants Of London At the Savoy the
other night an earl and countess were
refused admission to the principal din
ing room because they were not in
evening dress
This incident raised some discussion
as to whether diners should be allowed
TO dress as they please, and the Savoy
management held a ballot among their
fashionable patrons. who were asked
for their opinion on this important
question.
Among ninety replies only one was
against the evening dress rule. and the
management have therefore decided to
enforce the rule as rigidly as ever. Even
princes will now be debaTTed from din
ing at the Savoy unless they wear the
regulation evening dress.
The one voter against compulsory eve
ming dress wrote: 1T is certainly a
stupid rule which would prevent q man
in this democratic century from dress
ing as he pleases. People are more i'm
portant than rules Of fashion. 1t is
just such conventional ideas which keep
up England's reputation of being a
country enslaved to FORM
But convention in matters OF dress IS
one OF the bedrock principles Of British
society, and viii probably last as long
as society itself.

.SNUB CRUSHES
FASHION ACADEMY

PARIS. Nov. 9.-The Countess dan
digne had a very brilliant idea the other
day. She often has them. Her notion
was to form new aeademy-an acad-
envy of fashions-in which letters, the
arts, elegance, beauty, and wit should
be recruited by forty men and women
Of fashionable circles. The idea took
on rapidly, and all the ladies who have
anything to do with literature sent in
their adhesion to the new academy.
The Duchess de Rohan was at the
head Of them% Several gentlemen of a
certain age also promised to be of the
academy. among them NJ de Saint

himself Richard O'Monroy Others of a
certain age, but very well preserved.
made it understood that they would not
be displeased to be received In the
beauty section" and Count Recope
himself constituted the science section.
Everything was going on very well,
and only the most important of all mem
bers was waited for. Without her. there
could be no fashionable academy.
But she did not come forward, and so
she had to be asked. This was her
reply: Il am femme de monde as rarely
as possible. In literature. never. Count,
ess Mattieu de Moailles Before this
snub the academy crumbled away and
has been heard of no more.

NAPOLEON UNKNOWN
ON ISLE OF ELBA

PARIS. Nov. 9.-An amusing story is
told by NJ Catulle Mendes, the eminent
poet and theatrical critic, who has been
visiting z ba to obtain local color" for
his new NSpoIeonic play.
On arriv al NJ. Mendes and his wife
called on the French consul They. sent
in their cards and were received bv a
somewhat ragged and unkempt italian
gentleman, who explained that the con-
sui was bedridden, but that he was the
vice consul He added that he would be
pleased to be of any assistance to the
visitors.

The vice consul paused a moment

Power of Imagination
And Taste for Unreal
Of Educational Value
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

by the view they take OF that delightful
play Of Barrie's. Peter Pan" and l
have always felt hopeless about any
body who could not enter the delightful
fun and deep philosophy Of that en-
chanting story.
Moreover, the quickness of repartee
which distinguishes the Irish people is
largely the result of this sharpening OF
the Imagination The long and weary
details of the commissioners DO TX are
often relieved by the flashes IF wit
which they record. A clerical witness
was asked, for instance, If the landlord
supplied lime for manuring purposes,
and promptly replied Il never knew the
landlord supply anything in this place
except the processes.
II IS characteristic of all nations Of
vivid imagination that they have also
the greatest powers Of rebound and the
greatest powers of hope
No better example of the necessity for
giving children wholesome ideals is to
be found than in a recent tragedy which
has occurred in Russia Some Russian
children aged between seven and eight
were playing in courtyard at Kishi-
nefr, when one of them, tired of their
game, suggested that they should play
at court-martial. The proposal was re-
ceived with JOY, and the prisoner, the
members Of the court. the police, and
the executioner were all appointed The
mock trial was conducted with stately
reality. The prisoner. represented by q
little boy OF eight, was sentenced to
death. The child was bound TO an old
crate lying in the courtyard, the execu-
toner soaked a piece Of cloth with pc
troleum, placed It on the crate, and then
set FIRE TO il. The flames flew upward
and before help could be obtained tho
child was burned to death. Il does not
require any flight OF vivid imagination
to realize the state OF the country where
chIldren's minds reflect situations OF
such unutterable horror.
A charming story IS told OF little
PriNce Olaf. who, at a reception a.
cour. saw several elderly ladies sitting
together and having. according 10 his
idea. a poor time. He ran TO his owr
rooms and fetched an album almost as
large as himself, which he offered L

ROYAL cousins of Europe. and ne men

he said: This Is little boy caiie<

at the democratic spirit which hey sai(

Site For Library.

Fun in plenty is promised at the meeting of the city council tonight, when the ordinance appropriating a large sum of money to purchase two lots on Seventh and Louisiana streets, upon which to erect the SS5.00O Car negie library. There are eleven mem- bers of. the council, out of sixteen, who are opposed to the purchase Of the lots decided on by the committee, and they will balk any efforts made to locate the building there. The alder men claim it is not the proper loca- tion for a public building. it being adjacent to a town branch, is low, and not in a desirable neighborhood. These aldermen expect to. force the library to be erected on the east side of the city, in the residence portion.
