MOTOR OMNIBUS
FAILURE IN LONDON

LONDON, Aug. 10-London's motor
omnibus boom is collapsing. It's partial
failure, which many nervous Londoners
welcome, has resulted In 1O4 motor omnl-
buses, representing a value OF 81. 500, GOO,
being taken of the streets. The COM
pany which first ran motor ornnibuscs
IN London has been forced by financial
difficulties to withdraw the whole OF its
service. and not one Of the numerous
concerns In the business is IN a sound
condition.
Among the causes Of the failure are
low fares and rigid police regulations
Scotland Yard, in it's determination 10
suppress the din made by motor omni-
buses, insists on certain structural fea-
lures in every machine before II is IL
Censed.
The lowness Of the fares. due TO the
competition Of underground tubes and
municipal street cars, makes a profit
impossible on a motor omnibus service.
One company declares that 70 spends IS
cents per car mile TO earn only %
cents An arrangement 70 raise fares
all around is now under discussion
among the companies.
The Londoners' objection to the pe-
trol-driven motor omnibuses is it's
noise. smell. and oscillation. which are
not only Objectionable in themselves, but
have caused serious deterioration in
property along the motor omnibus

HISTORY OF FRANCE
IS TOLD BY MIRRORS

PARIS, Aug. 10.-The history OF Paris
In mirrors has been discovered by the
secretary OF the commission of Ancient
Paris. NJ. Lucien Lambeau. POSing
about in old shops and old corners he
discovered a huge collection of mirrors
which were taken from the Petit Csbi-
net" at the time OF the Regency, regard
ing which 50 many piquant II not al
ways very dcmurC rOmances have been
written.
In accordance with a royal decree dat
ing from very many years back, and
which was always carefully carried out,
the city, each time that IT demolished
building which il had acquired, pre-
served the mirrors. These were taken
To the store house on the Boulevard
Norland, and It is these mirrors, which
had for years been forgotten. that NJ.
Lambeau has rediscOvered, and proved
them all 20 be authentic.
They comprise a splendid collection Of
mirrors Of all styles from the period
OF Louis NV. passing by the empire
cnd Louis Philippe, and ending with
the third republic. The most interest
ing and curious are those dating from
the Regency, many OF which are
scratched in various places by means of
diamonds with the most illustriOus
names Of the Grand Seigneur" of the
time. the marshals Of FRANCE. high Of
fcials, and diEnitaries and fine ladies.

HIS WIFE IN POLITICS;
MAN COMMITS SUICIDE

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. IO.-The first
result OF rev law admitting women
in Finland as members Of Parliament
has just been made known. A man
committed suicide. and before diving
he wrote a letter TO the police stating
that he could not stand life any longer.
His wife neglected him and his home.
and he no longer had enough to eat
His wife is one of the new members OF
Parliament, who have been so much
talked Of in Finland of late. She utterly
neglected her wifely duties to give her
self up to politics. and sine allowed her
unfortunate husband out of her salary
as legislator only a beggarly 2 cents a
day to live upon.
Tne husband Of the legislatures
thought he could not imperil his wife's 4
dignity by going begging. and so he
committed suicide as the only way out
Of the difficulty.

The unfortunate postman was cross

At the post-mortem examination her

May Stop Hunting.
By The MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

For a few sous the finest and most beau
ttful young women allow themselves TO
be robbed Of the most delightful orna-
meut heaven has given them, and this
barDarous custom continues in spite Of
our progress in civilization. and in spite
especially of the female emancipation
OF our days, which is carried on by
SO many leagues here as well as IN
America and England
Will Stop Hunting in France.
The last days OF hunting are an
nounced to be near at hand. for the mod
ern democrats demand that It be legally
suppressed.
The reason, it appears, is that IL is a
purely aristocraue sport and a vestige OF
former times, and in consequence un-
popular But is this so? To disprove
the statement one only needs to take
part in the arrival at any village OF a
pack Of hounds with horses and hunts
men.
The utmost enthusiasm prevails, and
when the neighborhood is beaten, with
what JOY and delight the good villagers
follow all the incidents of the chase?
II IS a stirring pleasure for all who
take part, while also It prepares a very
army OF bold and active hOrsemen and
gives the country a large number Of
vigorous and splendid horses
From the economical point of view
deer hunting is a fruitful commercial
transaction and means a great increase
Of revenue to the treasury. The 900
packs OF hounds which we can count I'm
France. with their 1000 horsemen, u, 900
mounts, and 1900 dogs, cause yearly
an exchange in money OF something like
S14.gOO.O00.
Surely 10 deprive a country OF such a
source OF revenue Is very foolish, es-
p5Cially when nobody is the loser.
Nevertheless, the days OF the chase in
France are numbered, and we are as
sured that in less than three years Il
will be a defunct institution.

PARIS, Aug. 10.-The French nation

monarchy which also arose out Of the
ashes OF violence and revolution. Crate
ful for services rendered, she shows her
gratitude toward the man who in 1870
expressed his wish TO come 10 her aid.
But now suddenly the skeleton in the
cupboSrd makes its appearance. The
French government, in its exaltation of
revolution, did not take heed OF the
fact, or else voluntarily ignored it, that
the nations which were despoiIed for
the sake OF Italy naturally show a
great repugnance toward the name Of

ernment. IN order to give a special eclat
TO the military review on the nation fete
day, invited the famous -ed-shirts to
take part and march with the French
troops, the famous Garibaldian veterans
having come 70 Paris at the express
invitation OF the municipal council to
take part IN the fetes given in honor
Of the great Italian agitatOr.
At once the AustrO-HungaTian am
bassador, Count Kevenhuller, protested
to NJ. PichOn. minister Of foreign af-
fairs. and threatened that he would not
appear In uniform in the presidential
stand If the parade OF the Garibaldians
took place. NJ. Pichon had 20 yield, and
the Garibaldians had to be satisfied with
a special stand from which to see the
