The Ne7r San Francisco Holds POr-
tOla Celebration.

San Francisco, oct 23.-FolIowing closely
upon the Hudson Fulton celebration in New
York and akin to it in ways, is the Por
tola festival of this city. which began Tuesday
and is to continue throughout the remainder of
the week The basic idea is the cOmmemOratiOn
of the discovery. hundred and forty years
ago of San Francisco Bay by Don Gaspar de
Portola captain of Spanish Dragons and the
first Caucasian to enter the Golden Gate.
The real carnival spirit of the week, however
is caused largely by civic pride and rejoicing
over the rehabilitation of this city after her
almost complete destruction by earthquake and
fire in April 1906. After few months of
physical and financial prostration, the emer-
gence from ruins and ashes was begun. and to
the scene of its predecessors prOstration.
This fact gives to the POrtola celebration

From The London Times.

From The London Times
But if we wish to know what manner of man
was the Due de MOrny equally popular equally
feared. in camp and court, we must turn to
Daudet 1t was not in lie Nabab" but in the
preface which he wrote to. the second edition
of his famous novel, that Daudet found for the
Due de MOrny the cruel nickname "Richelieu-
Brummell," which perhaps best describes him.
To the grave young PrOvencal poet there must
have been something hateful in the skeptical,-
mocking, middle aged statesman with Don
JuaneSque lining" before whom all the world
bowed so very low. De Morny, among the
many other things it pleased him to be. was a
patron of letters. and this is why AlphOnse Dau-
det one fine day found himself carelessly caught
up into the vast almost royal, ducal household.
When lie Nabab' first published thou
sand pairs of lips opened to say that the au-
thor had never been. in any real sense intimate
with the who. far more than the Nabob
himself, was the hero of the book. But Daudet,
in his apologia made it clear that this very
fact absOlved him from any special gratitude to
de Morny; more. he was fond of telling the
story of how the Due once sent for him and
asked if he would care to be one of his personal
secretaries. I am a Legtimist. your excel
lency," replied the twenty year-old poet. proud
ly. BAH So is the Empress! was lie Mornys
laughing answer.
But it does not much matter what Daudet's
relations to his sitter really were; the fact
mains that everything we now know about the
real Due de Morny makes more true the portrait
of the Duo de Mora" Unfortunately art and
especially the art of fiction. has its well de
fined limits. Daudet in his novel scarcely
touched the Dues public and political life,
and only in the famous death-bed chapter does
he illumine one moving side of de Morny-
Richelieu- -BrummelTs intense, selfesS devotion
to Louis Napoleon. In this chapter-one of the
most striking in the whole range of fiction
Daudet had no need to invent; he had been
there present at the last scene in that sinister
comedie rosse, and he told what he had seen.
OF Taleyrand, a wit who had survived from the
eighteenth century observed, II est mort en-
homme qui salt vvre" Daudet provides a say
ing no less true concerning the tragic and pre-
mature demise of TaIleyrand's most famous de-
scendant, 'J-ne vraie sorte dhomme du monde,
imprevue, rapide ct discrete."
