Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, March For three generations
the Moreau-Neiatons have been wealthy
and enlightened amateurs of painting. The
present head Of the family, NJ. Etienne Mo-
reau-Nelaton. himself an artist OF much
talent, has just given to the Louvre the
cream of the collection begun by his grand
father. Adolphe Moreau, stock broker
and the rooms in which it has been placed
have just been opened and visited officially
by the president of the republic. The col
lection consists entirely of nineteenth-cen-
fury French works, and chiefly OF repre-
sentative examples of Delacroix and Des-
camps. In paintings by the latter the
Louvre had hitherto been not only less rich
than the Wallace collection, for instance,
but remarkably poor, and the present DO
nation is therefore particularly welcome
Descamps as an orientalist will now be rep
resented there by "Sortie de L Ecoie
Turaue" Passage dh Cue" Jesus sur lie
Lac de Genesareth," ETC.. The collection
is also remarkable for trirty-seven CorotS
of all periods, beginning at lS24, some mn
ished pictures. others sketches which give
in epitome history of the painter work.
Troyon. Daubigny. Diaz, Millet. Fromentin
are also we'll represented in the collection,
which further includes some fine specimens
of the 'impressionist' school, Manets De-
| 1eOnef sur f1eTDt. lOr anu .IAN
''Pont d Argenteuil' and 'Etretat, by
Claude Monet, and several important Sis
leys. -'
A mild sensation has been caused in ar
tstic circles by the decision of M QUAR-
din-Beaumetz, under secretary OF state
for fine arts for the transfer of a paint
ing by Edouard Manet. the impressionist
artist from the Luxembourg, to the mu-
scum of the Louvre 1t is the first time that
a picture of the impressionist school has
been given admission to the Louvre. The
principles of the impressionists. by the
way, it may be said have never been al
lowed by the stickiers for classic art. Some
years ago if it had been proposed to place
a painting by an impressionst in the
Louvre there would have been violent
protest by the majority of French painters
who are still faithful to the old traditions
of art Manet, at the Louvre, would have
raised a storm in all the studios Today
scarcely word is said about 1t. The pic
ture is known as the Olympia, and repre-
sents a nude woman reclining on a couch
with a negress at her feet. 1t was for
many years in the Saile Caiilebotte at the
Luxembourg museum, and was carried
over to the Louvre to be hung in the GAL
lery of modern French painters. Its trans
fer undoubtedly marks the official triumph
of the mpressionist methodr%as an &C
knowledged school of art.

Turk, who lived in handsome fiat in the
Avenue des Champs Elysees. and was well
known in Partisan society, has just been
arrested on the charge Of robbing an actress
of two rings worth Sl.c0O. Mile. Madeline

money and the Turk lent her 5000 for a
fortnight. charging $40 for the loan. and
taking as security a pearl necklace worth
S. 900 and two emerald rings The loan
was repaid In month and the Turk re-
tanned the rings as penalty for delay in
repayment The actress protested. and the
Turk eventually offered to return the rings
IL she would pay him an additional $780,

month. or 800 per cent per annum. was q
good deal to pay for a months lean Of

A Victim of Spiritism.

The corpse of a woman whose death is
attributed to the practice of spiritism
was found in a street in Paris the other
evening. She was living on a moderate
pension granted her by the German gov
eminent. and was known to be greatly adj
dicted to spiritistic. practices. A we'll
known medium visited her often and her
constant desire was to be put In COM
muncation with the spirit of her dead sis
ter. Latterly she grew very morose and
was attacked by frequent fits of suicidal
melanchoiia. The other night some pedes-
TRANS found her dead in the street.
A doctor happened to be passing by, and
first took ii for granted that she had died
of cold. But when taken to the police de-
pot it was found that she had an arm
broken, and there were other circumstances
which made her death appear very mys-
FERROUS. 1t was not until the concierge of
a house in a street where her body was
found came to inform the police that one
of her tenants had disappeared that her
identity was discovered. A search in her
room disclosed some paper which lead to
the belief that she had committed suicide.
One of the papers was a note for lawyer
which was concealed under the carpet and
which read as follows: May God grant
me to die at one blow. I shall be unable
to pass such a night"

A Curious Police Document.

A curious police document has been issued
and is being posted on the walls in Paris
concerning rights of festivities. the like
of which has not been seen for twenty
five years. The project OF police therein
prescribes how Parisians are to amuse
themselves on the public road during those
merry days. The last time that such
manifesto was published was in 1882. The
present notice is practically repetition Of
the one of 1915.
Among the prohibitions it contains are
the following: No masked persons are to
carry canes or arms: bad language, gross
invectives and insulting provocations are
forbidden: no DISCUSSES or masks offensive
TO special class category Of citizens
are to be allowed; the footing of horns imi-
Eating those of tramways Is forbidden; no
advertising carts must mix up with the
cavalcades and the burning of efigies Is
also prohibited no substances must be
thrown into houses or on persons which
may cause damage or soil clothing ana
finally any persons violating the above pro-
scriptons render themselves liable to ar
rest and police prosecution. Outside these
restrictions Parisians may do as they
please, throw serpentines. organize and fol-
low cayalcades, wear masks and walk knee
deep in confetti on the boulevards.

most difficult Of all-namely how to conceal
the absence of the fugitive from his cell.
seeing that little window in the door of
the latter always allowed a warder to look
In at any moment, day or night, and to
see whether all was right inside 1t was,
of course, most imperative to keep the au-
thorities in ignorance of the escape as long
as possible, SC as to give the fugitive time
enough to reach his friends and hide him
self in security.
Fortunately Gershuni was not kept in
solitary confinement but In the company
of other c0nvicts in the same cell. One of
these. evidently born artist-sculptor. got
hold Of cheese sufficient to make human
bust. and this he managed to shape well
enough into a resemblance Of the head and

Thus Gershuni's bust. now made up as q
