Mir. Bryan should D,sapproye.

Baltimore Sun.
 The American peopie-Democrats Republicans. Populists and all tre rest of them--are bountifully endowed with the sense of humor. Mir. Bryan himself recognizes the comic element in a po- litical situation as quickly as any oth CT man in public life. We have no doubt that the reported plan of the Colorado Democrats to present his namo to the national convention through Mrs. Ruth B. Leavitt has tick led nightly the Nebraska statesman's s Bryan indulged in some other emotion than laughter after he considered the impropriety of the plan proposed by his Colorado friends. MT. Bryan must crat with niece sense of propriety would feel. To assume that he would permit his daughter to plead for his Nomination in a Democratic convention would do an injustice to public man whose honesty and sincerity have never been successfully challenged
 We believe the delegates to the Dem ocratic convention at Denver will not be invited by, Mir. Bryan's daughter to nominate Mir. Bryan for the third time the Presidency. There are many sur prises in politics, but we do not think the statesman has yet been born who is willing to go before the country as champion of the principle that public office is a family affair. instead of a public trust: that a nomination for the Presidency ought to be made because a candidates daughter appeals on sem timental grounds to the emotions of the members of a convention. We are convinced that the mere suggestion of such a departure from sanity and pre- cedent Is as revolting to Mir. Bryan as if will be to Democrats in every part of the country.

FINE PICTURE STOLEN.
vandyek's Masterpiece is Cut from Its
 Frame.

Fr@me.
 Brussels, Dec. 28.-The most sensa- tional picture theft since the "Gains- borough Duchess" was stolen has been carried. out at the ancient church of Courtrait where Vandyck's masterpiece. '"The Elevation of the Cross" which has hung tfiere nearly 300 years. was out from its frame one night.
 The theft was made easy by the re- construction of the church. which on one side was only protected by a fence hiding demolished wall The thieves could easily have climbed the Nence and got across to the picture, which wasfthe only one of the church's art treasures that had not been removed
 This Vandyck masterpiece will noS be easy to dispose of. because it Is so famous, and every art dealer in Flu rope knows that its proper home is Courtrait church. 1t was painted to the order of Canon Roger Braye, who paid Vandyck $500. It's value, of course, has enormously increased since then, and when it was femporarily removed from the church to be exhibited at the Vandyck tercentennary exposition at Antwerp It was insured for s1O0.ooo.

SALE or LoUIsE's DRESSES.
Pawnbrokers DispoSes of Articles Left h by Eccentric Woman.

Vienna. Dec. 2s.-7once more the af- fairs of Princess Louise of Belgium divorced wife of Prince Philip of Co., hurg. have been brought into the light of publicity.
 This time it is the auction sale of her wardrobe and tewelry taken from her when she was putt away in a sanator- ium nine years ago.
 Six years later she escaped with the aid of Count Mattachioh. her sanity was proved and her goods restored to her. The PrinceAs pawned the goods for $t2.500 with the Vienna. State Pawn shop, which has now realized upon them because the interest payments were not kept by the Princess.
 The Princess having been one of the best addressed women in Europe. these frocks and frills of hers. although nec- essafify old-fashioned. were extremely rich and luxurious. There were dog ems of dresses, including some which the Princess wore at Court on State occasions, articles of lingerie by the hundred. made of silk and lace. and with the royal owners mono gram, and the Belgian crown nearly a hundred fans. large numbers of dainty shoes, and several splendid seal skin jackets.
 The original cost of the whole ,lQt was more than s100.000, but naturally the sum- realized by the sale did not approach that figure.

 The Naples garrison has been in- creased by ten thousand troops from neighboring cities. who will be on duty to keep with 4.S00 families living in tenements owned by the Societadel Ris- anamento.

yeaIousy b . Dl.ease.

A Paris physician. Dr. Mairet. has formulated the startling theory that jealousy Is simply a disease lie says 1t ought to be treated like other ai1- ments, medically, and that if so dealt with it can be cured.
 Dr. Mairet considers there are three forms of jealousy--irst, jealous hyper esthenia or excessive morbid excite- ment of the sentiments with deep feel? ing of uneasiness. Secondly, jealous monomania, which is closely akin to a mental malady, since 1t frequently en- genders a feeling in the afflicted person that he or she Is being persecuted i. Thirdly, jealous madness, or the last and acute stage of jealous hyperesths- nia, and should be treated as a form of madness.
 The doctors optuton is that suffer- CTS from acute jealousy should be treated by daily and frequent cold douches. He has proved it to be val- uabie treatment, frequently bringing 8 complete cure, and nearly always a great alleviation.

French Journalist Airs
 His Views.
WOMEN CAUSE THE CRIMES
Begs Juries Not to Sympathize with
 Ffmalss.
T. Rochefort Draws Attention to the Case q Goeids Who BrutaIiy
 Murdered Woman at
 Monte Carlo.
nY HrNnI nunoIs.

Paris, Dec. 2s.--The still impending Thaw trial ut New York gives inter- est for Americans to a curious theory which has just been propounded by Henri Rochefort, the famous journal ist and polemist.
 < ". Rochefort's remarks are called forth primarily by the verdict in the trial of the two murderers We're Goold the Englishman. and his wife, for kill ing Mime. Levin at Monte Carlo, and chopping up the body and taking the pieces away in trunk, but it is clear the Journalist has had his eye on other cases as well.
 M Rochefort asks: "when a crime has been committed together by q man and a woman. which is the guiltier?
 The woman. on account; of her sup posed weakness. is nearly always con- sidered to be under the influence of th 6 man, but this is quite conventional notion, and 1t is, on the contrary, more often the man who has obeyed the promptings and suggestions of the wo- man.' e
 He points out how Goold was re- dueed to a state of abject slavery by his odfous wife who did everything she could to put his neck into Jeopardy and save her own. which the male pris- oner furthered by defending her all through, against the evidence and com
 
 M. Rochefort adds: Are we to con- clude that men are worth more than women? The question is a thorny one, and will probably always be settled in favor of the woman Even when they empty bowls of vitriol on the heads of their seducers, whom more often than not they themselves have se- duced, the men receive all the insults of the public prosecutor and the wo- men are acquitted by sympathetic jury"
 Dilemma of Actress.
 Shortly before the death of the eA- President of the republic M. Casimir- Perier, some scandal was caused in Paris fashionable society when young M Casimir- Perier went to London with Mime. Simone le Bargy. the clever young actress.
 M. Le Bargy, who is an actor at the Comedie Francaise, brought an action For divorce at the beginning of this year. Since then he has brought an action against his ex-wife for contin- uing to use his name of Le Bargy on the stage instead of reverting to ba.. maiden name of Simone Benda, as tb. : French law requires. FH I
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-12-29

Mme. Le Bargy at first intended to light the case contending that she has ( right to use the name hy which she has obtained . reputation upon the stage. but as she knows that at the final hearing of the case her ex-hus- band will certainly gain the day. she is going to yield with . good grace.
 Mime. Sarah Bernhardt has advised her to go by tho name on the stage simply of Mme. simone, as she says Benda is too Jewish. Simone Benda is not at all ashamed of her Jewish Qri- gin--for does she not share it with Sarah herself, the greatest actress of the day? she will, however. fall in with Mime. Bernhardt's idea and call herself Sinone.
 The most interesting fact of all however, is that in private life Mme 'Simone. Benda Is very shortly to be- come Mime. Casimir Perier. and thus wifi be united the descendant of a line of French statesmen. the member of { distinguished family. to divorced ac- tress.

Doe.n't Like Her UncIe.

The Queen of Spain is at Iosgerheads with her uncle, the Emperor of Ger many, for she will never forgive him having tried to prevent her marriage with Alfonso XIII.
 The Emperor Wilhelm knows this. and King Edward VII. knows 1t, too, and so a meeting between the King of Spain and the German Emperor and their respective consorts when they were all together in England, had to be avoided as much as possible.
 The King of Spain was not invited to shoot at Windsor when the Emperor was there. Queen Victoria wanted to show her magnificence before the Ger man uncle, against whom she has con ceiyed a feeling Of spite, but under the circumstances she was not able to.
 It Is probable that if Alfonso XIII, goes to Berlin shortly, as is planned, the Queen will not accompany him.
