though he had been heard of frequently, he had never been seen by the police.
 Evidently inspired by a desire to join the ballet, lion broke out of it's cage at the Electrical exposition at Marseilles and made its way to the stage, where bal let was being rehearsed
 The panic among the short skirted terpsichoreans when the lion suddenly ap- peared in their midst was intense.
 Three of the ladies were possessed of more courage than the rest and snatch ing off their shoes, they beat the greatly astonished beast into submission.
 When the lion tanner arrived the lion welcomed him with evident joy and a1- lowed itself to be led back to its cage in the most docile fashion. It seemed, in- deed. glad to get away from the ballet girls as they were to get rid of it.
 The extraordinary scene of a wedding where the bridegroom was married in handcuffs was witnessed at St. Martin a few days ago.
 Theophile Fray, aged 34, had recently been caught in daring burglary and sentenced to ten years hard labor. His fancee, Alexandrine Sadelman. a girl of 19, was heartbroken at the news and de- clared that nothing would induce her to give up her sweetheart.
 She accordingly petitioned the author ities to allow the marriage to take place at once. Her request was granted, and the other day the prisoner was conducted by four detectives to the marie, where his bride and her friends were awaiting him
 After the ceremony he bade her fare well and was taken back to his cell. while the bride returned to her parents home.

pression 1t Is there that the shoe pinches.
 Those most uncomfortable persons who have habit of keeping tab on actualities say there are actually more men out of employment at the present time than at any period since the October panic. If this statement be true, then there must be a screw loose in the sunshine claims of buoyant and bounding progress toward boom times. The artifciality of the recent bulge in the stock market also finds accentuation.
 The street is asked to believe a report that MT. Morgan, before taking his de- parture from these shores the last time, predicted that Steel common would sell up 100 this year. This report received widest circulation, and many credulous people bought stock freely on the strength of it. It is also remembered that some time ago J. J. Hill went on record as saying that the acquisitno of his ore lands by the Steel corporation ought to make its common stock worth 100. This Morgan story travelled up and down New Eng land seaside resorts and from that source there has come a flood of buying orders.
 The falling off in the summer tonnage of bituminous and anthracite coal is a marked feature of the railroad business at this juncture. This is accounted for in large part by the depression in manufac- turing lines which are using far less, coal than usual for steam making purposes. In the anthracite coal trade it is noted that there is big falling off in summer purchases of coal for winter supply. Few CT people than usual are taking advantage of the low prices that prevail in June and July.
 The juggle in Amalgamated and Smelt- CTS is transparent There is nothing In the trade situation to justify the stock market strength of either of these spe- cialties. Particularly Is this true of Amalgamated It is well known that sev- eral of the leading competitors of Amal- gamated-notably Clark's United Verde. Utah Copper company and other young producers in Utah, Nevada and Alaska can put copper on the market at a cost of cents per pound less than the big Standard Oil company.
 There is a shrewd surmise that the in siders of ArDalgamated are engaged in e-spreading campaign of stock disfri- bution and that they hope to succeed by fragrant stock exchange manipulation aided by the free use of their selling ma chinery at home and abroad. It seems to be the general belief that at the pres ent time the Standard oil group is carry ing this burden of stock holdings, not having succeeded in enlisting public sup liable to be overwhelmed at any time with hundreds of millions of pounds of concealed supplies at home and abroad.

 kaiser's Speech.
THE FAVORITE OF LOUIS XV
BY PAUL VILIIERS

Paris July 11.-An effort is being made by M. Charles Vatel, the guardian of the castle of Versailles, to rehabiitate the famous Mime. Du Barry, the favorite of Louis XV This most celebrated of French beauties is best known for two sayings which M. Vatel declares she never said.
 The first was one day at luncheon with the king. A servants foot caught in the table cloth and Mime. Du Barry cried Lookout, France, your coffee will be in your lap in minute" The second saying Barry was on the scaffod. History has it that she said to the executioner: M le Bourreau, please do not hurt me-"
 Both stories are apocryphal, M. Vatel declares, and the second story seems un- likely, for we know that an Irish ad- mirer offered to get Mime. Du Barry out of the Conciergerie and that she let d friend be rescued in her place because he could not rescue both of them. A wo- man who could be as brave as this ls hardly to have asked for mercy, and so quaptly, at the last.
 A professional American pckpocket. whose identity is known and who comes over from the other side every year like any other regular business man, stole Il pin from M. Lazare Cohen at the Grand Prix races.

ria railroad and for the building of other lines in connection herewith. This deal Is said to have been practically arranged by President Corey of the Steel corpora tion, who has been in communication with Russian representatives for several weeks, the theatre of negotiation being MT. Co., reys fairy palaces near Paris.
 It will then be in order for the Bryan stump speakers to set their megaphones at work to clamorously inquire how much cheaper Russia Is getting rails and struc- tural iron than American customers From hints which find their way into Wall street It Is evidently the intention of the democratic campaign managers to make the Steel corporation their spe- cial target in advocacy of harsh reduc- tion of duties.
 It is now generally believed that the Standard oil interests are in actual con- trol of the Shelters, and that the Gug- genheims have only a moderate minority of the stock This condition has been affirmed and denied often during the last two or three months, but those who are in the secrets of 26 Broadway have for some time past openly asserted that Messrs. Rogers, Archbold, Rockefeller and their associates are in the saddle. This is hO longer uenleu by the GuBBennelmS whose paramount interests now seem to be in the development of mining proper ties in Alaska. Utah, Nevada and Old Mexico. Their interests in these fields are colossal They have already expended more than $100,O00,000 in development work and will, within the next year or two be the dominating powers in copper pro- duction and important also in gold. silver and lead.
 The long distance bulls are preaching that whereas they do not look for a com plete restoration of good times this year. they have no hestancy in predicting the greatest boom the country has ever seen in 1910 and 1911. In ye olden days a chron- ic bull on wheat was pouring his views into Norman D. Ream on the Chicago board of trade. He wound up each pro- nouncement with the statement that "ul- timately" wheat would sell much higher. T agree with you in the main" replied MT. Ream '1, too, believe wheat ulti- mately will sell higher. It seems to me, however, that the situation is too full of ultimateness. l think I will have to sell few million bushels in order to get mon- ey to buy some when the market ulti- mately takes a start toward the upper price regions"
 One complaint about this stock market in the minds of the impatient ones is this element of ultimateness in the real up- ward action. ThN say that the movement which has taken place so far savers too much of false starts

number of prominent men of many nationalites have expressed their opiu- ions in a symposon started by a daily pa- per owing to the uneasiness created by the Kaisers warlike speech at Doeberitz some weeks ago.
 In reply to the question asked by the paper; 'Is peace endangered" M. Octave Mirbeau observes that it is ridiculous to be alarmed every time the Kaisers mus tache bristles, as his speeches are mere bluff.
 General Gallifet is of the opinion that the Kaiser's speeches are dangerous only to Germany. Count Witte takes a hope full view and Lord Curzon and Lord Rob- ert Cecil are also optimistic.
 There was an exciting scene in the express from Boulogne to Paris last night
 One of the passengers, M. Chamon, felt hand in his pocket as he walked along the corridor from the restaurant car to his compartment, and turning around quickly caught the thief. a good looking man, well dressed and wearing the cross of the Legion of Honor with his pocket book in his hand
 M. Chamon knocked the man down and called for help, and the thief was locked into compartment until the train reached this city Here he was recognized by the police as well known Austrian pckpocket who was sentenced to ten years for burglary some years ago. He escaped from prison, however, and al-
