Of Alliance Francaise "A Distinguished
 Parisian, to be Heard in This City.

The illustrated lecture of the Ali ance Franchise, to be given Monday evening, Feb. 8, in Lincoln hall, will be the most important of the course thus far. It's leading position will be due to the fact that the speaker, M. Marcel Poete is the official conferen- cier of the Alliance in America and like all the official lecturers, he has been selected for his eminent ability and representative culture.
 M. Poete has just arrived in this country from Paris, coming in re-

The Holdup Man In Mexico.


Now, as matter Of fact. life and
property are as safe in Mexico as in
Chicago. and ones life is a great deal
safer. Mexico has her pickpockets
and her sneak thieves, and burglars
are not unknown. but the holdup man
is an individual with whom the police
are not well acquainted. This cannot
be said of Chicago, Kansas City, St
Louis or New York. 1t may be be-
cause the criminal element in Mexico
lacks the bravery necessary for fol-
lowing the holdup's profession. or it
may be because the city is extraordi-
narily well guarded by police. 1t GER
tafnly is well guarded by the police;
but, it matters not what the reason is,
the fact is that the man who relieves

man who had stopped at a stand
in Fulton market to buy a fresh fish
pointed his finger at fish that pleased
his fancy. being about two feet long
and weighing about five pounds.
THAT looks like nice fish to me-"
he said. whereupon the dealer picked
the fish up to put it on the SCALE
The moment he picked it up the fish
began to wriggle. and the next mo-
ment it had slipped out of the Dealers
grasp and fallen on the sidewalk.
AS the fish went down the customer
turned to the stand and picked out
another, which the dealer picked up,
and this fish stayed quiet until it had
been put on the scale. but the instant
it touched it it began to flop vigorously
and finally Topped itself out of the
scale pan, to fall on the stand below.
Goldfish these two lively and vigor-
Gus fish were, the cod being fish that
will live out of the water three or four
hours. a good deal longer than most
fish. At Fulton market live cod can
almost always be found. The dealers
keep their stock in fish cars in the
East river. just across South street.
and for retail trade bring over maybe
fifty or a hundred pounds at a clip,
enough to last half. an hour OF an

they bring over another lot, fresh out

will live for hours in fresh water. An

Young Bessemer Was Cautious as Well
as Inventive.
The most trivial incidents have often
originated the fortunes Of our richest
men. Take. for example. the fortunes
made out of Bessemer steel. This gen.
ius, young Bessemer. had some idea of
making steel out of iron, but a poor,
newly married young man has no
means of experimenting on a large
scale. The story must tell as have
heard it from an intimate friend of
Bessemer and is true tale After
Bessemer had in his small laboratory
experimental with the metals and at
last obtained the desired result by
blowing air through melted iron he
found in the bottom Of the crucible
little lump of the famous STEEL Now
the question was how to make the
discovery public. He put the lump of
steel into his pocket and made his way
to Nasmyth Of steam hammer fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's desk.
he told him that he had made this ex-
traordinary discovery, which would
revolutionize the whole metal world.
Then came a little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. What do
you think Nasmyth said to his excited
inventor?
"Eh. mon, it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is vary dishonest"
To which the aspiring inventor re-
Piled:

lated whom was coming to see, so

VANDERBILT'S RIVER PALACE.
Luxurious Houseboat Built to Order
Surpasses All Others In EnuIand.

Luxurious Houseboat Built to Order
Surpasses All Others In England.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, the American
millionaire who leased one of the
handsomest households on the Thames
last summer, has had one built this
year to his order which is the most
luxurious craft Of the kind ever float
ed in England. This river palace, with
it's tender attached, is 1872 feet long.
The main saloon is paneled in polished
mahogany and is lighted, heated and
ventilated by electricity There are
four bedrooms, each with a bathroom.
The dining and smoking rooms are on
the top deck. The tender is equipped
with the most ingenious French cook
ing requisites and an elaborate hot
water system.
The boat will be furnished lavishly.
but the bedrooms, like the exterior,
are painted ivory white. All the main
deck rooms are provided with bay win
dows. The main deck roof is support
ed by pillars Of carved teakwood and
an iron plaster bearing the Vanderbilt
monogram.

EscoRTING THE COURT.
Official Pomp and Splendor In Old
Colonial Times,

Official Pomp and Splendor In Old
Colonial Times.
In colonial days York. Me-, was the
county seat to which the judges and
lawyers from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts often went, and the
court sessions were attended with
much official pomp and ceremony. In
"Old Colonial Houses In Maine'' EN-
ma Huntington Mason quotes from a
record left by John Adams, who as a
young barrister went to York in 1774
and who made at that time the follow
ing entry in his journal:
when l got to the tavern on the
eastern side Of the Piscataqua river
found the sheriff Of York and six Of
his deputies. all with gold laced hats,
ruft1es, swords and very gay clothes
and all likely young men who had
come out to that place to escort the
court into town."
This gives us a hint Of the pomp and
splendor affected by the court officials
of those days, when the judges wore
robes of scarlet with large cambria
bands and immense wigs and the bar
risters had gowns and also bands and
tie wigs"
AS the judges approached the shire
towns the sheriff met them with an es-
cort and flourish of trumpets. Their
arrival was announced by cannon, and
the daily summons to the court before
bells were introduced was by beating
a drum.

lean people and especially by those in

Mr.. Harriman's talk was given hur-
riedly to a collection Of reporters just
before he left for Europe. It was re-
Gently stated by representative Of
the Hartman system that this man
controls $4,000 miles Of railway, or six
times across the continent; that these
lines employ $4,000 men: that, in addi-
ton, Hartman directs $4,000 miles of
steamship lines, making $4,000 miles
Of transportation in all; that one could
60 from New York to Hongkong with
out ever leaving the Hartman lines
and that he could return by another
route on Hartman lines nearly all the
way. So in the glad conversation that
follows please consider that it is these
1900 miles Of transportation that are
doing the talking and not Hartman
himself. Here is what this combina-
ton of trains, steamships and dollars
says with him for mouthpiece:
think we are on very substantial
basis, and all that it needs to keep us on
top OF the wave is Tor the farmer to con-
tinue his liberal development and produc-
ton. The liberal expenditures on the part
of the farmers and their agricultural de-
velopment is to my mind the important
factor in the national situation. It means
the worldwide distribution Of wealth in
the employment of labor and the pur-
chase of materials in all lines Of life.
If we have favorable weather and large
crops we shall have correspondingly hap
py times. You might say that we shall
have probably great burst Of specula-
ton and rise in prices Of everything,
and it will graduate down from that to
any point, just in proportion as the crops
are successful.
There should not be anything today to
interfere with individual industry and ca
pacity, and money does not have any
thing to do with it. It is only the evil
dence of capacity and Of industry.
The next time probably that we have a
serious shrinkage in business will be be-
cause OF change in business The last
shrinkage was on account Of a scare
something that did not happen. The next
change will only come about by more
real condition, such as a shrinkage of
our crops. We need not have had that
panic before. and If we are careful we
need not have another one.

Toothpick Effect In Bathing Suits.

The toothpick figure has made its
appearance at the seashore, and this
seems like the last straw The new
bathing suits for women are distinctly
on the directoire effect. These suits
have been worn by women who have
braved the surf in the cool tempera-
ture Of the early summer, so it seems
there is nothing beyond fashion. It
might be expected that in a bathing
suit nature would have it's way, but
not bit of it. Figures that a year
ago were in and out up and down,
in and around, this way and that way,
at present offer a passable imitation
Of bean pole, which means that the
elongated corset is necessary addi-
ton this summer to the bathing suit.
To battle in a corset is about as CON-
Portable as to eat ice cream through
a veil, but women are fashions ready
slaves!

1t is small wonder that the eyes Of
the United States are turning toward
the city of Cleveland, O., as rapidly
assuming the position Of Americas
model city in its public spirit and in
the laws which are the result Of that
spirit. Listen to this ordinance, as
admirable as it is, comprehensive in
its scope, which stands today to the
credit Of the city's council, relating to
Fourth Of July celebrations:
No person shall fire any cannon, gun.
rifle, pistol, toy pistol or firearms of any
kind or fire or explode. any squib, rocket.
cracker or roman candle or other combus-
tible fireworks or make use Of any sling
within the city.
No. person, firm or corporation shall
within the city sell, offer for sale or have
In his possession or custody any toy pis-
tol, squib, rocket, cracker or roman can
die or fire balloon or other combustible
fireworks or any article for the making
of pyrotechnic display, provided that
nothing in this section contained shall be
SO construed as to prohibit the board of
public service from giving pyrotechnical
displays Of fireworks in the public parks
whenever said board is thereunto directed
by resolution Of council.
Any person violating any of the provi-
sions = shall on conviction thereof be
lined In any sum not exceeding $1OO or
imprisoned in the Workhouse not exceed
Ing thirty days, or both, at the discretion
of the court.
There you have a model ordinance
for any city which has regard for
the lives of it's children, for the nerves
and health Of it's people and for prop
erty generally. The council of Cleve
land has pointed the way for the
councilmen and aldermen of other
cities, and now, before we get too close
to another day of death and accident,
Is the time to act. The citizens Of any
city can do for themselves what Cleve-
land has done by insisting upon such

the pioneer woman in England to hold
some of the Offices as to which wo-

this remarkable woman. while mas

MARK TWAIN's TIP TO GIRLS.
Don't Smoke, Drink or Marry to Ex-

Mark Twain went to Baltimore the
other day to attend the commence
ment exercises Of st. Timothy's School
For Young Women. Following Edward
F. Martin Of New York, Mr.. Clemens
said that as Mr.. Martin had advised
the girls as to what they should do he
could only tell them what they should
not do.
"There are three things, young
ladies, I advise you not to do,' he said.
"Don't smoke-that is, don't smoke to
excess. I am seventy three and half
years old, and I have smoked for sew
enty-three years Of that time. Don't
drink-that is, don't drink to excess.
Don't marry-I mean to excess.
"Now, If you young ladies refrain
from all these things you will have all
the virtues that any one will honor
and respect
