ness a performance at the opera has
induced William Robinson, of Paris
and New York, and II. w. Urenna.
of Northampton, England, also TO
take a hand in giving the gallant
sailor lads good time.
Mr. Robinson, who is as well-known
in the Rue de la Paix as in Fifth
ave, decided that the Cafe de Paris
was the only fitting place 10 enter
tain the boys behind the guns, and as
there were four ships al Cherbourg
and four at Brest, with delicate tact
Mr.. Robinson invited the men from
each fleet.
They dined az this smartest Pari-
sian restaurant at 9 o'clock, the hour
the beauty and fashion assemblies
there. When the lads saw Mr.. Rob
nson hand SO to the head waiter as
a preliminary tip, and when they saw
the gorgeous Lane de Pougy,- Ghika
and Helene BaXone il struck them
that they were having pretty good
sort of time.
Nothing can be too good for the
defenders of our country" said Mr..
Robinson, as he filed and refilled the
glasses with champagne, When
speech-making began there were
toasts of friendship between France
and the United States.

PASSENGER AIRsuIPs.

1t looks Csays an English exchange)
as if the time it's not very far distant
when the ordinary omnibus and even
the motor car will be out Of date, and
when the rush of passenger traffic
will be to the airship. A passenger
service by airship was started the
other day in Dusseldorf, and we read
that on June "a the airship Zeppelin
VII made two successful flights from
that city over the Rhenish industrial
district, carrying passengers each time.
On her first trip she conveyed thir-
ty-twO passengers, ten of whom were
ladies, to BOchum. When returning
she encountered head wind and a
rainstorm. But the ladies were de-
lighed with the experience, and in
sisted that they had not had a mo-
ment of discomfort.
So great is the confidence of the
progress in aeronautics has inspired.
that the Rev. Mr.. Aked of the Rookie
feller's church who is coming to Eu-
rope after a severe illness, secured a
ticket for an airship trip from Munich
to Aberammergan before sailing from
New York by the Carmania.
A flight through the air in such a
mountainous and ramontic region
should have eXhilarating effects, and
it is not difficult to imagine the in
terest and curiosity with which the
good villagers watch the approach of
visitors descending upon them from
the Skies

AN HONEST MAN.

We agree with the correspondent
who has sent US the following para
graph, clipped some time ago from
one of the London dailies, that in
these days of general graft such an
item merits the widest possible circu-
lation:
"On behalf of a man who twenty
years ago stole a quantity of books
and umbrellas from a Manchester in
stitution, a priest in the west of Ire
land has sent f5' 5s to the officials.
The priest stated that after the man
had removed from Manchester to Ire
land he began to save all his spare
pence; and when he had expressed his
penitence and shown a practical desire
to make restitution, the writer supple
mented his savings to the value of the
stolen property. The letter added that
the penitent stated that the purloined
articles were invariably pawned for
food"
Could honesty go further?- ?-Ave
Maria.
