HONOR DENIED HER,
BERNHARDT RESIGNS

PARIS, July 4.-Many people who
know the Great Sarah's love OF official
h0nors are asking themselves why the
famous actress has suddenly resigned
Ter professorship Of dramatic art at the
Paris Conservative to which she was
appointed in February last year.
The answer is quite apparent, for It
was practically an open secret that
Nine Sarah Bernhard accepted the
pTofessorship because she thought 1t
might be the means OF procuring for
her the covered distinction Of the cross
OF the Legion Of Honor. which hid been
refused her last January because she
was an actress, although she was rec
commended by the minister Of public

|CURzON OPPOSITION
GROA|NG BITTER.
Information as to His Stand on
Tariff Reforms and Other
Issues Demanded.

d n 3 L
LONDON. January 12.--As the date
OF the voting among the Irish peers
to MI the vacancy in the House OF
Lords caused by the death OF Lord
1<llmaine draws near speculation az
to whether Lord curzon will be suc-
cessful In re.entering public lifc
through tfis medium grows more In.
tcrcsting.
At the same time opposition to Lord
.Curzon is growing more and more pro.
nounced In ireland. where the cortro-
versy as to the propriety OF granting
him the benefit OF ono OF the Emerald
Isles rare opportunities OF returning
a representative peer has engend cred
much bitterness and great deal NJ
excitcment
Thus It happens that the very ~.
forts OF Lord Curzon's adherents in
Ireland have indirectly brought forth
the largest number of arguments
against him. which are being eagerly
seized upon for campaign purposes by
rival candidates. who include Lords
farnam and Ashtown. The opposition
to Lord CurZon has grown strong in
Dublin and other political centres, but
he has formally declared that lie doeg
not intend to withdraw. In view OF
the statement that the combined efforts
of his rivals have boen successful In
obtaining only bare majority at best,
his announced determination 10 sue
coed or fall to re.enter public lie
through what Is termed "Irclahd's
back door," Is readily understood.
Lord Curzon Is designated In Ireland
as "the Englishman who has nothing
to do with ireland, and who looks for
your votes merely as q means OF car
rytng on his own political career" al
though no efforts arc being n,ndo to
disparage his ability as statesman.
Steps are also being taken In ireland
to learn Lord CurSon's Views. on. those
political questions on which he has so
far been silent. Tho unionist party IL
still divided on tariff reform. and some
OF those invited to vote for him declare
that they want formal declaration of
his position and opinions on the mat.
ter. One Irish leader summed up his
attitude in reference to Lord Curzon
as follows:
Lord Curzon Is not Irish; he owns
no interest or stock in Ireland. and. as
Sir Charles Dixie used TO say to his
friends, never Interested himself in
Irish affairs because no credit was to
be had from them. Why should Lord
Curzon be voted into a seat In the
AoEos 1oT purpose quIlo toIS1S0 "
those for which the privilege Is pre-
| served to Irish representative peersf
In addition to this Lord Curzon VIII.
at no distant day, inherit his fathers
seat In the House OF Lords, which pos.
session will not remedy the fact that
the Irish seat he may obtain will be
denied Irishmen while he lives"
Thus the fight Will go merriiy on
until January 90. when the result will
be known. Meantime Lord curzon's
friends are predicting that he will b,
successful.
