NJ. Marquet is TO Ostend what N. Blanc

and their thousands to the Belgian resort
Marquet announced that he would give
two prizes, one OF $1,000 and another OF
5000. TO the aviators who fulfilled GER
tain conditions attached to the contests.
When he offered the prizes he expected
that there would be a good deal OF com
petition for them. and that while the
flying men were valnly trying 60 gain
the 5000 Ostend would be crowded with
visitors, and the Casino would do good
business. But Marquet reckoned without
the aerOplanists.
One morning Sommeri who happened
to be at Journal. not far of, went 10
Ostend, started his machine. and fulfilled
the conditions OF the two prizes Then,
having collected the S6.0O0 he packed up
his machine and took the next train back
to France. His flights. which had not
been advertised. were made in the early
morning before Ostend was awake. and

CHEAPER DIVORCES PLANNED
England Wishes to Make Separation
Easier for Poor.
An Law Now stands Only Rich Can

Divorces.

London. Oct. s.-A movement is under
way in England for a system OF easier
and cheaper divorces for the poor. As
the English law stands, only wealthy
persons can afford the luxury OF d.
vorce. Solicitors agree that the only
change necessary would involve no altera-
ton in the Law, but would DO purely adj
ministrative.
Last April committee appointed by
the lord chancellor and presided over by
Lord Gorell. lately president OF the d.

The Hague, Oct 9.-Queen Wilhelmina's
message 10 the Dutch states general,
which reassembled last week, mentions
the establishment Of q fund for the COM

fications and naval works. Public opinion
in Holland is just now g good deal ex-

ten by the German Emperor TO Queen
Wilhelmina about six years ago, in which
the Kaiser said that In the case OF a
European war he would be obliged 10
order a military occupation Of the Meth
erlands unless the coast defenses were
put in a proper state Of security.
Since then the Kaiser is said to have
endeavored 70 minimize the effects OF

calling the fact that when the North Sea
agreement was drawn up Germany re-
fused to insert clause guaranteeing the
neutrality OF Holland and Denmark The
authenticity OF the Kaisers letter IS
frankly admitted in Germany, and In

They Arc Hard to Detect.
Paris. oct. 9.-The art OF making artI-
fetal pearls has reached such perfection
that no woman need fear detection in
wearing the products OF the factory, It IS
announced in Paris. In the last year
sumptuously appointed shops have been
opened where artificial pearls alone are
sold. But the merchants are finding that
they have made a mistake. They have
learned that women do not care TO enter
a glorious shop in a fashionable quarter
merely to buy imitation jewelry. They
prefer 20 do this kind of shopping in a
secondhand shop in a quiet street, where
a pretense OF hunting for antiques may
be made TO excuse their presence.
Ono OF the finest shops for the sale OF
initiation Jewery ID the Rue de Ia Paix
has recognized its mistake. and opened a
small side door for its clients who wish

will be made soon. No word has been
