Paris, February 29-Every one knows, in France at least, that for many years the present head of the French government, Monsieur Clemerceau, has been devoted friend and admirer of the Count and the Countess Depelletier-de Aunay; and since Madame La Countess comes from your good city of New York, it is measureably exact to say that France Is governed by America. t
 M. Clemenceau has always liked Amer ican women. For. of course, you have not forgotten that the wife from whom he is separated is a Miss Hummer of con necticut Now. when MT. Clemeneeau be- came prime minister his first act was to reward his friends, Monsieur and Madame q 'Aunay. for their warm friendship. He appointed the Count to the embassy at Berne.
 But life at Berne is horribly dull. There is absolutely nothing to do but to reed nuts and sugar to the tame bears in the pit out there In q meiancholy park and really that is not very exciting. So these friends of M. Clemenceau rain letters ana telegrams upon him demanding a change of residence They have even decided that the city they want to live in Is Rome.
 But we have an ambassador in Rome the good M. Barrere. In earlier days ne was a Commtnist and, like all such tolk, he dearly loves prince. Now the Itahan aristocracy is very kind to Monsieur Bar rere They invite him to their dinners; they let him go fox hunting with them on the Roman Campagna and therefore Monsieur Barrere refuses to leave Rome
 In the meantime our American ambas- sadress in Berne feeds sugar to the pears and writes cross and reproachful notes to the prime minister
 Some anecdotes are precious:
 Madame Leubet the wife of our former president told me last night this incident of the late Carlos I. of Portugal.
 One day the King of Portugal visited the Elysee palace and Madame Loubet said: T know, Sire, that you are paint CT of great distinction, but l am also in formed that your majesty is an accom- plished pianist
 ''Yes, drum the piano. said the king, and without waiting to be asked he sat down at the piano. Then for an hour he played waltzes, marches and popular tunes ending the performance with a

and, being of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take.
 This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, Is said to overcome almost any case of Rheu- matism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose un- til permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent med icines, etc, some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time.

FOUR THAW WITNESSES
ARRIVE FROM EUROPE,

New York, Jan. 25.--Four witnesses
who are expected to testify for the de-
Tense In the trial OF Harry *. Thaw
for the killing of Stanford White. ar
rived here today on the steamer Adria-
tic from Europe. The big steamship
had considerable difficulty in getting
past Sandy Hook because of the heavy
seas and II was on account of this and
the storm OF snow that the witnesses
did not land yesterday. The delay in
their arrival caused an adjournment
of the court early yesterday until
Monday. Three of the witnesses who
came on the vessel are physicians and
the fourth is nurse. who, 1t is assert
ed. attended Thaw while he was Ill in
Europe.
The identity of the Thaw witnesses
had been closely guarded secret and
with one exception the names had not
become known when the steamer ar
rived. The known witness is DR.. eau
1abauja OF Switzerland. who treated
Thaw in that country four years ago.
