French Presidents Expert
ences in Meeting Kings
of Europe.

downright 1905 by the Brentwood Company
President Fallieres is the most genial ana
sunny tempered of the statesmen who have held
the office of Chief Magistrate Of France since the
establishment Of the Third Republic, thirty
eight years ago on September next AS a gen
eral rule he maintains his equaninity even when
confronted by the most annoying contretemps,
ana ne is Justly celebrated in the political life OF
his country for permitting nothing ever TO dis
turb his inperturbabe good humor. But the
pictu1 published OF him In the Paris 'llustra-
tion' of August 1 shows US the elected ruler of
France in an altogether new light, for on his
kindly features is depicted an expression In
which annoyance, embarrassment and a desire
20 maintain the most complete courtesy under
Sryfng circumstances are strangely blended
On one side Of NJ. Fauieres stands Princess
wsIdernar Of Denmark, daughter of that
HOUSE of Orleans the chief Of which. Duke
Philip of Orleans. is the Royalist Pretender to
the throne of France and the sworn foe of the
republic which he is endeayoring to overthrow.
On the other side of the President is seen the
wife Of Prince George OF Greece-that is to say,
princess of the House of Bonaparte, which, as
that Of Orleans is bent upon the destruction of
the existing form OF government in France and
upon q restoration in its stead of the Napoleonic
empire Prince Victor Napoleon, the acknowI-
edged head of the Bonapartists. Is like the Duke
OF Orleans. banished from French soil, and an
outlaw In the eyes OF the French Republic.

Large numbers of the people live in one-roou

conditions One suggestion was TO establish model
schools in the country where home industries and
handicrafts as well the elements OF learning
should be taught. 1t was proposed TO establish
farm communes about the schools and in other
Uays bring the children and adults in contact with
a forrl OF social life. a number OF secondary
schools are about to be opened throughout the

Some weeks after this meeting the ex-Queen

were desirous of encountering. They were hav-

SOME AWKWARD ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN RULERS

the feelings of the invited guests toward one an

there were assembled in the great ballroom

Francis from whom she was separated; Don
Carlos. the Spanish Pretender, and the late Duke
of Aosta who Gather of the Duke OF the

Carlos and King Francis each hastily Withdrew

u+p,ost embarrassment to the many eyes that
were watching them. But ex-king Amadeus
who was the most chivalrous hammered OF men,
crossed the room to where Queen 1saoella was
sitting bowling low, begged leave TO present MS
homage to her, kissed the hand which she ex-
tended to him, and then in response to her invi-
tatton seated himself by her side and engaged In

Vienna which during the latter half or the
nineteenth century was the home of SO many

meetings of this kind. In 1878, while walking
through the great rotunda in the Prater with the
late Prince Jerome Napoleon, father of the pres

ourselves face to face with the Conte de Cham-
bord then chief of the Royalist party, and who

safe to assume that the $4,000 manu-
factories which, according to the cen
sus of 1900, employed an average each
of 100 men or over will add at least
so per cent to their present force, max
ing a total in round figures of $4,000
men. In other words, with the contin-
uance of business confidence, the I'M
portant manufacturing interests of the
country, it is held, will be enabled to
increase their present force by more
than half a million workingmen to
meet the market demands for their
products.
