y PARIS, Oct. 14.-The Spanish brig.
I and Morera, of whom many tales OF
/ ferocity and daring are told in linely
mountain districts of northern Por.
! tugal and in the Gallician province
of Spain, has been captured by Por-
tuguese troops Morera was the old
fashioned bandit of romance living
in caves high in the mountains. He
had been a bull fighter of renown in
Madrid who escaped to the hills
after a crime of violence. To there
he was followed by the actress Lola.
This was years ago, and since then
Morera has led life of desperate
adventure, marauding in three coun-
tries, for sometimes he would pene-
trate into southern France and sack
a village or plumber and burn a
chateau. Usually he operated in
Spain and Portugal until his excuses
in one country became intoierable.
Then he would go into the other.
For some mosths he has been de-
vastating the district of Valengo, near
Oporto. Last Friday a detachment
of Portuguese troops surprised Mo-
rera and his band of sixteen men
and pursued them to their cave in
the mountains. Two brigands were
killed and six wounded is the first
heavy volley of the troops. Lola fired
her revolver with utmost GOODNESS,
wounding two soldiers She, Morera
and the survivors were overpOWered.
In the cave a quantity of loot was
found which will be divided among
the captors if owners are not found.

found the garden an excellent place
to work in, and prevailed upon Elk
Premier Clemenceau to pose to him
for his bust. The artist became so
interested in his sitter that he made
not one but three busts, one of which
will figure either at the autumn
Salon or at the next springs Societe
Rationale exhibition.
Among the other tenants of the
Hotel Biron are de Max, the Rou'

Matisse, probably the greatest living
post-impressionist painter.
The Dickens passion in Paris
reached a climax with the perform
anca of monsieur Pickwick" at the
Athenee. This little theater was
packed with notabilities at the in
vitation first night, and judging from
the applause which followed the fall
of the curtain, the new piece should
have a long and prosperous run.
The adaptation Of Nine. Duval and
Charvay will be less likely, in the
opinion of critics, to appeal to gen.
uine Dickens lovers, armed with page
long quotations, than to the fashion
able French Anglophile who is ready
to accept whatever is offered by the
hand of Shakespeare. But. while Of
necessity many liberties have been
taken with the original scheme, it
would be idle to deny the ingenuity
with which the various incidents have
been chosen and CROPPED together. In
