SUCCESS OF "CHANTECLER"
Two Hundredth Performance of
Rostand's Play in Paris.
TBy Cable to The Tribune.

By Cable to The Tribune.l
Paris, July 23-The 2OOth performance
of Rostand's "Chantecler" was cele-
brated last night at the Porte st. Martin
Theatre, the public interest having been
kept up by the novelty Of the subject
and by the excellen- acting of NJ. Joube
as the cock and by Mile. Reraisy as the
hen pheasant, who have been acting
those parts for the last month.
The verdict of the public is that
"Chantecler," without being by any
means as good as "Cyrano," is a highly
amusing barnyard drama, with now and
then delicious verses and brilliant spec
tacular qualities. The general opinion is
that it would be greatly improved If it
were boiled down into three short acts.
The long run of the play, with fairly
good houses, justif1es the prediction
made by Alfred Capus the day after rs
first performance, who said. Chan
tecler' is one of those extraordinary
plays, and not until after it's 2OOth per-
Torrance can people discover whether it
is triumph or a failure

FRANCE MUST BUY WHEAT
Crop Estimated at 100000
Hectolitres Below Last Years.
(By Cable to The Tribune.

Paris, July 23.-The French wheat
crop, owing to the persistent rain and
wind which have levelled many Of the
best grain fields, causes considerable
anxiety Experts estimate that the
forthcoming crop cannot exceed no.
100000 hectolitres, which is 1OOOO.OOO
hectolitres below the ordinary crop OF
125.0OO,OOO. This deficit cannot be re-
placed by the reserve stocks OF last
years wheat, and France Will De
obliged to import large quantities TOT
home consumption.
Dealers look for this supply to Russia
where the crop is announced as un-
usually good and abundant. Tne price
of wheat in Paris has already gone up
1 franc for a hundred kilograms. ana
-four has increased francs for the sack
of 159 Kilograms.

REAL ROYAL ROMANCE
Secret Clauses in Marriage Con-
tract of Pretender.

Paris. July 15.-Prince Victor Napoleon's 8
approaching marriage with Princess Glenn
entine of Belgium arouses great interest
here It is understood that the marriage
contract contains a secret clause whereby
the prince (recognized as pretender in the
act Of exclusion passed by the French
Chamber of Deputies undertakes to do
nothing to compromise the land of his
adoption with the land of his supposed as
pirations.
In other words, he promises not to ad-
dress his party in France in official corre-
spondence dated from Belgium, or to re-
ceive deputations on Belgian soil This act
of Remuneration is rendered the more easy
because the prince intends in future to take
up his residence in Italy.
No doubt the little difficulty that he has
made in giving these solemn promises to
King Albert has created not a little panied
surprise in the breasts Of his supporters in
France. But Victor has never been war
like SOUL and any hope he ever had of oc-
cupying the throne Of the illustrious En-
peror must now be definitely abandoned
Nor does he seem to be of the stuff of
which military adventurers are made
Prince Victor's marriage with the Belgian
princess is a real romance. The courtship
has lasted ten years or more It is real
marriage d'inclination.' Though 1t is
supposed here that Prince Victor re-
ceives the bulk of the Empress Eugenie's
fortune, he is not. according to common
accounts, a rich man. nor has he any par
ticular personal glory.
King Leopold opposed the union, on the
pretext of a fear of European complica-
tions, but King Albert seems TO have placed
the happiness Of his aunt before the remote
risk of embroiling his tight little kingdom
with the present governors Of France. The
marriage unites the bearers of two proud
names-Napoleon and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-
and sheds, momentariiy, a romantic light
over prosaic period.

London. July 16.-Lindon William King,
a young cloth locker of Colne, Lancashire.
has received f2,50O in cash and lucrative
engagement with the Great Central Rail

the effect of obviating accidents on rail-
ways caused by insecure doors.

been employed "a the Great Hume Mills

PISA'S TOWER LEANS FURTHER
Indications That Obliquity Was Due to
Accident, Not Design.

Florence, July 1.-THE famous leaning
tower of Pisa is now attracting the atteh-
ton of the authorities It has long been
subject of controversy as to how the OBJ
liquity of the tower arose. whether by de-
sign or by accident. Opinion has hitherto
favored the suggestion that the tower was
designed to stand obliquely, but 1t seems
now to be admitted that it was built YER
tically and has since moved from that po-
stion.
This is further confirmed by the fact thai
an increasing settlement seems to be feared.
and in order that the tower may not share
the fate of st. Marks Campanile the ring
ing of the two largest bells. weighing nearly
four tons each. has been stopped by order
of the Archbishop. and it has been suggest
ed that removal of earth from the neighbor-
hood OF the tower should be prohibited.

more serious than the Rochette affair IS

A new federal law, which went into ef-
feet Jan. l, absolutely prohibits all
schemes involving any element of chance,
such as piano or other contests, by pub
fishers of newspapers and by others, or
of guessing contests by merchants or
others, and provides penalty consisting
of ine of not more than 81, 900, or i'm.
prisonment for not more than two years.
This bars the newspapers from circu-
lating through the mails if any such en-
terprise or guessing contest is adver-
tised, and bars merchants or others from
sending through the mails any 'letter,
package, postal card or circular contain
ing any lottery. gift, enterprise or siml-
lar scheme offering prizes dependent in
whole or in part upon lot or chance"
The law is drastic and absolutely bars in
the future all guessing or prize contests

Robert c. Chester Frozen to Death
Robert G. Chester, whose parents, Mr.
and Mrs. James Chester, are old resi-.
dents of Drayton, was frozen to death
while returning from Stoughton, Sask.
to his farm near there. He and his
brother had hauled wheat to town the
day before New Years and returned by
different routes. Robert was going by
way of the treasurer's 20 pay taxes. He
was advised at the latter place not to
start as the storm was so bad, but as he
only had five miles to go, he went on
Six days afterwards his body was found
frozen in the snow. 1t is supposed that
he passed his own place in the storm and
wandered on, after unhitching mis- team,
until exhausted.
His brother also had difficulty in get.
ting home, but with the mutual assist.
ance of a neighbor who was also on the
road, managed to get to a place of safety.
Robert was about 81 years old and his
remains were brought to Drayton and
the funeral occurred there a week age
Sunday. Seven of the residents of the
Stoughton neighborhood lost their way
and their lives in the same storm.
