AMERICANS GIVE SHOW ID THE
 PARISIAKS
Real Old Fashioned Ministrelsy Seen in the ''Quartier Latin" Recently Given By Colony From United States.
Special Cable to Review.9 By Henri Dubois.

PARIS. June f5.-one of the mosi successful affairs ever seen in the American colony here was the Guar tier Latin evening held by the Amer ican Art association at which nearly every American artist here and great number of French artists were present.
 The program opened with a real oId-fashioned A merican Minstrel show. which set the French guests who had never seen anything like il wild with enthusiasm There is lit tie doubt that minstrels shows by am ateurs will become as much of rage now as was the now forgotten cake walk.
 The show was follower by mon otyper party, which also was great success and which enriches the treas. ury of the association with good many hundred francs.
 One artist after the other came up with a crayon or a pencil or some kind of a brush and made light ming eketch--Landscape caricature, or anything else: and the sketches were put up for auction immediately afterwards. The auctioneer was Mr- L. c. Horrsby, who also sold al very good prices, 8 number Of other sketches made beforehand. The gar dens were used for refreshments and other amusements, and were beauti- fully illuminated with Japanese lan- terms.
 Members of the Art association have just held another of their amusing and informal shirt waist dances" at which unrestrained amuse- ,F nersl was the order of the day, and evening dress was strictly forbidden. One gentleman came by mistake in evening dress, and was not allowed adrnittance. but got over the difficulty bv exchanging clothes temporarily with the concierge
 4 gambling palace trust is the latest development in the line of fi- nanciai combinations in France. the Monte Carlo Casino having just got control of the Grand Casino of Beau soleii. situated on Frech soil about 516 yards from the Monaco establish ment
 The Beausoleil Casino was formed for the purpose of promoting Bacca- rat which has become quite fashion able among Americans travelling in Europe. but which has never flourish ed at Monte Carlo It is far more . luxuriousin its appointments than the Monaca establishment and by the Ho- eral use of money in bribing news papers and the distribution of free ad- mission tickets it soon began to draw customers away from Monte Carlo
 The manager and lessee of the Monte Carlo Casino. who is also may or of Beausoleil. tried at first to make Prime Minister Ciemeneeau close the rival ablishment, but failing in thls there was nothing for him to do but to buy out his competitors, and tnls he has now done with the result that shares in the Monte Carlo Casino, which had gone down rapidly, have risen twenty-five points.
 In the future Baccarat only will be played al Beausoleil and Trente-et- Quarante and Rouge-et-Noir at Monte Carlo.
 According to the "Correspondencia de Espana," King Edward has de cided to build a villa near Villagarcia. on the western coast, half way be- tween Cape Finisterre and Vigo.
 The villa is to be complete by next spring, and 1t is believed that his Majesty viii stay at Villagarcia here after, instead of Biarritz-
 King Aiphonso will erect a sum nler residence and with Queen Vic toria Eugenie, will spend several weeks there every spring during King Edwards visit.
 There is an excellent harbor at Vil- lagarcia and instead of long jour ney by train his Majesty will be able to travel the entire distance by sea.
 American automobilists touring in France had better stay away from the vicinity of Namur, where the peas ants have formed a league for the purpose Of decapitating foolhardy mo- torists who come within their reach.
 They have already made their first attempt and that they did not sue succeed was not through any fault of the men who are now being tried at Namur for attempted murder.
 About two weeks ago an auto speeding from Profondevilie towards Nanur ran against a fine piano-wire strung across the road in such man ner that it must decapitate the oc- cupants Of any open car passing
 Only the fact that the first auto that happened to pass was a Hmou- sine, made the diabolical scheme nlis- cary As it was. the wire cut several inches into the supeTstructure of the car and threw the occupants in a heap.
 The accused do not deny that they had hoped to kill somebody. but said that they considered themselves justi- fled as long as the authorities would not help them to keep the devil wagons out of their county.
 Leopold. King of the Belgians, has moro useful scheme for spending the millions he draws from the horri- b1e Congo rubber trade than building yachts and palaces for his faxorltes- He has decided to make his capital seaport in the same manner as Manchester has been made one-by cutting a slip canal
 Brussels Is sixty miles from thH coast, but it is to he made accessible for vessels of the Iargest tonnage by a canal connecting the rivers Rapei and Scheldt There was already a small canal which ran through the gardens Of the Kings chateau at Laeken. bat this has been filled up, and a deeDer and wider canal is being corstructed parslIe1 to it.
 The couDieted scheme will be in ausurated iu 1910 when great inter national Exposition will be held in Brussels.
