into account the knowledge he had ac-
quired of the state Of the kings health
The result of that condition was that
his provision must In all likelihood be
for months only and not for years The
task FOR the months was TO avoid dis.
turbing the kings mind so long as this
course was consistent with the mainte
nance Of his own favorable position. II
must be remembered that no man In
the kingdom built more on this latter
object than the king himself. No man
was less a partisan of Countess Ellen
burg and of young Alexis than the hus-
band of the one and the father of the
other. The royal line the line which
boasted Bourbon blood was for the
king the only line Of Stefanovitch.

Mollere's MIsanthrope.

A literary problem periodically de-
bated by lovers of Moliere has been
the identity of that famous type OF
Alceste in the great dramatist's lie
Misanthrope. The plausible sus-
picion that the character was sug-
gested by the Marquis de Montausier.
Marechal de Camp and Governor OF
Colmar under Louis Kill, and later
the preceptor OF Louis XIV, would
seem to be henceforth beyond all
doubt In consequence of a curious dis
covery made by NJ. Leon Lefebvre
during his recent examination OF the
Colmar archives. He has found a
vOluminous correspondence exchang-
ed between the Marquis and the town
officials, and he noted In the COVER
nors letters several passages virtual
" identical with the we'll known
verses OF lie Misanthrope" He con-
cludes that Montausier was Moliere's
model. The demonstration of his dis
covery Is to be found In study pub
lIshed In the Correspondent. under
the title lie Drame de Tame Alsa'
cienne au Dix-Septieme Steele. -

1.-THE starspangIed Banner"

A correspondent suggests that the
song The Star-Spangled Banner"
should be replaced by one akin to
Tennyson's MAY Queen" and that
for they flag itself, with its radr,
crude, glaring red, white and blue,"
there be fabricated a delicate ban
ner OF shrimp pink, Nile green and
moonlight on the lake. OF course IL
Is INDUCING in irony, but there have
been plenty of things to stir him
to warmth. The national emblem Is
good enough. Among al the flags
that fly 1t Is fairest to see.
Americans are proud of the flag
not alone for that which it repre-
sents, but for that which II is. They
will continue TO feel this way. and
they will sing their sentiments in
such songs as have been provided.
Any time a genius shall supply bet
ter song. they will be grateful, and
sing that, too. But THE Star
Spangled Banner" has stood the test
so long. and expresses so much 50
well, that there is unlikely to be
new set of words and music to sup
plant II. It has been found inspiring
in war and in peace, and with all its
faults the people love IL still.-Phila-

Larger Population Than sixteen DIFF

Some one who Is apt az figures has
shown that New York city today is

ferent States and Territories. and
further thai within a radius OF TWEEN.
" miles are living over 100000
people
The improved methods OF trans
portation, which are fast widening
the limits OF New York's business
energy, will soon embrace a radius OF
fifty miles. within which are located
1884 different towns and cities whose
total population. with that OF Greater
New York. Is equal to fully one-fifth
OF the population OF the United
States.
When II Is realized that the perma'
nent increase in population OF New
York last year was about 100000, a
city the size OF Cleveland, Ohio,
some idea of the tremendous growth
of the city can be appreciated. One
OF the assurances OF a continued and
permanent growth is to be found in
the $4,000 marriages that take place
every year.
Besides this permanent increase
New York Is entertaining an average
OF over 10000 transient visitors ev.
cry day, and at some seasons, when
the hotel accommodations are taxed
to their utmost, fully 100000 people
are chronicled in their home papers
as spending a few days in New
York on pleasure ana business

foreign ports where they were well

Almost on the same day this report
came an Investigator in the New York

THE FALL OF THE IDOL.

Just how the presidents messages
are regarded in congress was shown on
Tuesday. when the d.atribe against Jo-
seph Pulitzer OF the New York World
was read in both houses. When the
personal and bitter reference to the
publisher was reached the members
just laughed.
To the average American citizen with
pride in his nation and respect for the
Office of chief executive. there is some
thing peculiarly humiliating in the cpl
sode. the more painful because 1t is an
extraordinary spectacle in the annals
OF the country. Presidents have been

rided by either of those bodies.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Henry Clews. the New York banker
and broker. is of the opinion that now
is the time for prudence and modera-
! ton in financial and commercial opera
tons There has been considerable OF
reaction from the high water mark
reached a few days after the election,
when prices were boosted higher than
loose, and the public invited to come in
and partake of the good things offered
for investment. Those who took the
advice are still in up to their necks. The
weekly market letter of Henry Clews &
Co. has this TO say regarding present
conditions:
The artificial character of the stock
market is no longer TO be concealed
Manipulation has now controlled the
movement of prices for many weeks.
and at no time has it been so apparent
as during the week just closed. In the
effort TO stimulate buying first one and
then another of the second and third
rate stocks were jerked up. but without
any satisfactory results. These spas
modic movements seemed to accomplish
little except to excite further opposi-
ton against the attempt to carry prices
still higher at this time Apparently
the market has been bulled almost to
standstill."
They might have gone further and
said that the stock market is always
under control when the financial powers
care TO manipulate il. With the fabu-
lous amount of money behind two or
three groups In New York, it is impos-
sible TO break the combination. They
can force the prices of stocks up 10
high level. unload. force the price down
again and buy the stocks back, and
continue the operation at will. Real
estate in any live community is a bet
ter way to get returns ON an investment
than tackling the Wall street game.
