TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION.
Plans Of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Society,"

Arrangements have been completed by
the Catholic Total Abstinence Society to
celebrate Easter this evening at Good Sa-
marian Hall, 1923 L street, and an invi-
tation has been extended to all temperance
workers to attend The principal address
will be delivered about $50 O. clock by Mr.
James Dunn, who has devoted forty years
to temperance work and who is said to be
recognized as one of the most interesting
and entertaining lecturers in the country.
REGULATIONS and vocal and instrumental Sc
lections are part of the program. The
meeting will be called to order and presided
over by Mr.. William F. Downey, the presi-
dent Of the society
while the proposed celebration will be
under the auspices of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Society of Washington Mr..
Downey said last evening, I'VE wish to an
nounce that we welcome all friends of the
cause of temperance, regardless of class or
creed. The evidences Of poverty, destitu-
intemperance are too manifest to require
any accumulation on my part Of the neces-
sity for flourishing organizations to promote
the cause of temperance. Our movement Is
not a spasmodic or fanatical one; it is the
result Of years of painful observation of
the ruin and degradation brought about
the age. A celebrated philosopher once said
Give me lever long enough and a fulcrum
strong enough and I will lift the world.
Give US a spirit Of public opinion great
enough and Of organized self-sacrifice
strong enough and our accomplishments
will border on the miraculous. We invite
the cooperation of clergymen and laymen
Of all denominations and are satisfied the
union of forces will create such feeling of
public sentiment on the temperance question
that victims Of the drink habit will realize
that We are unselfshly promoting their in
terests and welfare and that their success
in life is practically assured the moment
they make the sacrifice and enroll them
selves under the standard Of sobriety and
temperance. However, it is idle and 1t Is
pharasaical to preach temperance or criti-
else intemperance unless we ourselves be-
gin by giving edifcation and good example
and make some sacrifice to convince the
world of our earnestness."

GLEN ENCEAU ANGRY
DENIES CHARGES
IN MoNTAGNINI's PAPERS.

PARIS, March 31.-The publication in the
Figaro yesterday of a synopsis of the docu-
ments that came into the possession of the
French government al. the time Monsignor
Montagnini, the secretary of the papal
nunciature here was expelled from France,
has ELECTED an indignant letter of denial
and protest from Premier Clemenceau.
The writer of the article in the Figaro
said incidentally that NJ. Clemenceau had
an interview at Carlsbad with a well-known
missionary bishop whom he commissioned
to go to Rome and negotiate with the pope.
and this alleged incident was not referred
to in the sequestered documents. Taking
up this reference, Premier Clemenceau says
he once received a note from Father Char
gettant asking for an interview This was
granted. and the two men chatted together
for some ten minutes on the Armenian
question, in which both were interested
1T may be-" writes NJ. Clemenceau, that
referred casually to the church question In
he course of this conversation, but he
denied categorically that he intrusted
Father Chargettant with any mission to
Rome.
Taking up the matter of the mysterious
Madame X" the premier states explicitly
that he never sent any secret emssary
male or female, to Rome.
His Innocent Thought.
The premier writes sarcastically of Mgr
Montagnini's innocent thought that he
could draw him toward Rome by means OF
large sum Of money which would be es-
pecially acceptable to the premier In view
of the dire extremities to which he was re.
duced by Ibis well-known love of lux
uries.''
The premier's letter winds up vigorously
as follows:
Under the present circumstances 1 have
no right personally to make use of the
Montagnini documents, while the other
side can. with impunity, make them public
after carefully expurgating their indis-
erection with the object of minimizing the
| inevitable shock of their publication.
will merely confine myself to observing
the Jesuitical filth quoted by you. This
| cannot, it appears to me, be laid to the ac-
count of Mgr. Montagnini. 1t was brought
to him quite fresh, as he says, by a person
whose name L think must be perfectly
familiar to yon You may be sure l viii
lose no time in explaining myself publicly
as soon as my duty permits me-

NOTED FRENCHMAN DEAD.
Last of Male Dancers Of Famous Pa
risian Can-Can.

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS, March 30.-A prosperous little
old gentleman, NJ. Jules Renaudin, has lust
died at Sceaux. He was known as grand
pa" to his intimates. In peaceful Sceaux
he led'a methodical life He always played
the same game of cards with the same
cfonies in the same little cafe at the same
hour every day. The time and place of his
constitutionals in the avenues of Sceaux.
where nothing has ever happened since
man can remember, were invariable, and he
was always in bed by 10 in the house Of his
brother, retired notary, with whom he
lived.
Yet fifteen years before his name had
been a byword in Gay Paris" and was
never mentioned round the family circle
save with horror The dapper little gentle
man had been Valentin lie Dessosse, the last
of the male dancers of the can-can.
In him alone survived traditions of the
days of Gavarni, when wild quadrille In
public, gardens was danced by men as well
as women. The taste for masculine capers
then died out. Ladies like La Goulue,
Rayon dor, the Nome Frontage, Grille
d. Egout,. La Sauterelle and Mini Patte en-
Pair busted all of the men except Valeatin.
He held his own and kept on his legs to the
last.

Petition of Shippers Had Desired
Effect

CHICAGO, March 30.-At a special meet
ing of eastern traffic managers today it was
decided to postpone the increased rates on
grain to the east thirty days. which will

was taken in accordance with a petition Of
grain shippers of Indiana, Ohio and Michi-
gan, who appealed to the roads for an ex-
tension of time. several millions OF
bushels of grain cannot.b be moved, it is said,
on account of the car shortage. The inter-
state commerce commission was appealed
to and gave it's consent to the postpone
ment of the new rates.

SHAW THE ORATOR.
He Talks About Panics, Railroads
and Living EXPENSES.

NEW YORK, March 30-Former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw was
the principal speaker at the annual dinner
of the Oswego Society at the Hotel st
Denis this evening. He said in part:
The recent panic-the first since 1901
was not an unmixed evil. We mad a little
more freight than the roads could salts
factorly handle; a little more labor than
laborers; a little more commerce than
money, and this has continued until every
body has become independent and living ex
penses have advanced little too high. Liv-
ing expenses are never cheap, except in
periods of industrial stagnation. There is a
reasonable limit, however, to all good
things and that limit has been a little more
than reached. A slight curtailment every
where will do us good.

Curious Situation at Budapest.


VIENNA, March 3O.-A curious state Of
affairs has arisen at Budapest, where a
memorial consisting Of the statues Of the
Emperor Francis Joseph and the late En-
press Elizabeth, was to have been erected
within a few days in the new Hungarian
parliament house. The figures were de-
signed by the sculptor Karl Szechey, and
after his death the work was handed over
to an italian. The statues have now ar
rived at Budapest, but committee of
artists has come to the conclusion that the
work has been so badly carried out that
the work would be a disgrace rather than
an ornament to the building. The president
an offense against good taste to erect the
sculpture and 1t has accordingly been re-
jected.

HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Prospect Of an Amicable Agreement
All Around.

Based on concise and accurate reports
from its representatives in the European
capitals upon the progress of the negota-
tions relative to the subjects to be con-
sidered at the approaching second Hague
conference, State Department officials have
reached the conclusion that there is no rea-
son to apprehend 4 failure of the great in
ternational gathering. A program already
has been arranged with the assent of every
power of Importance that deals with topics
of the greatest value to mankind. Most of
the subjects are leSac.eS from the first con-
ference-matters which, from lack of time
because the delegates at that conference
were not empowered to treat, were, by
resolution, left to be dealt with by Il sec
ond conference. Others We're the outcome
of the sanguinary wars that have occurred
since the first conference. These subjects,
proposed by Russia last June, were ac-
copied defnitve program for consid-
Grafton by all of the nations addressed.
If nothing more were accomplished at the
second conference than action upon these
propositions the gathering would surely
result in great benefit, and it is entirely
within the power of the conference to limit
its scope to such program.
May Consider New Topics.
But to allo75 for the development Of new
conditions a paragraph in the call for the
second conference provided that new topics
might be considered if majority of the
delegates present at the second conference,
by vote, express a Willingness to do so.
Great Britain wishes to avail of this con-
dition to discuss limitation Of national
armament, and America to urge the adop-
ton, as a rule of international law, of the
Drago doctrine prohibiting the use of force
by any nations to collect international
debts. Both are controversial subjects, and,
to reduce possible friction, the Russian gov
eminent has been sounding the other gov
ernments to develop their attitude. with re-
suits that are not wholly encouraging as
to the reception that Will be accorded these
propositions Great Britain's present naval
predominance and the fact that European
nations are generally creditors have proved
to be grave obstacles.
But the opinion among officials here is
that regardless of the fate Of these condi-
tional subjects, the second conference will
certainly assemble and discuss, with benefi-
cent results. the subjects already accepted
