Two instructive libel cases have just
been decided here. In the first the plain
tin was a mother-in-law. Her son-in-law
sent her a picture postcard representing
snail with the head of woman. Sew

through the post the libel would have
been patent. The son-in-law. therefore.
put II in an envelope before posting IL:
but the envelope was transparent and
1t was on that ground his mother-in-law
sued him. She has won her action. The
court carefully considered the transpar-
ency of the envelope, and solemnly de-
cided that

ed. but also suct written words as 'miser,
'conceited' and buffer 1t therefore
followed that the sender's intention OBJ
viously was that as many persons as
possible should discern what figured on
the postcard. and the libel was proved.
The son-in-law. accordingly. has had 70

On the other hand, the defendant was
cautious. and sent no postcard. but tele-
graphed a string of unpleasant remar s
The addressee brought an action, but has

WANT COURT TO MEDIATE.
Princess Stephanie Would Avoid
Scandal Over Leopold's Estate.
oreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BRUSSELS. June Z, 1911.
In the lawsuit for the late King Leo
pold's millions, now in progress here, M.
Delacroix, on behalf of Princess Steph-
anie, asked the court 10 play the part of
mediator. rather than judge between the
Belgian state and King Leopold's daugh-
tiers, In order to avoid a scandalous dis
pute over the succession OF a great king.
He urged a peaceful compromise. Of
which King Albert has given an example
by renouncing his own rights to a por-
ton of King Leopolds estate.
Another barrister. M. Leclercq, on be-
half of Princess Clementine and Prince
Victor Napoleon, said that Princess Glenn
entine refuses to plead or to fight for
what Belgium claims as national prop
erty. She will abide by the decision Of
the court
NJ. Hanssens, for the Belgian state,
denied that the latter had destroyed King
Leopold's accounts. He destroyed them
himself. but everything shows that all
the millions in dispute were produced by
the Kongo traffic, and therefore belong to
the Belgian state. it was said.

Origin Of the Piano.
from the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detr0It Free IreSs.
The pianoforte was directly evolved
from the clavichord and the harpsichord.
In I'LL Scipione Mattel gave a detailed
account of the first four instruments,
which were constructed by Bartolommeo
Chrustofori. 1t was named by him the
pianoforte and was first exhibited in 1909
Marius in France, exhibited harpsi-
chords. with hammer action. in 1716 and
Schroter in Germany. claimed to have
invented the pianoforte between 17l1 and
ITO. Marius was at first generally
credited with the invention. Pianos of
that period were shaped very much like
the modern grand variety. The first
square piano was constructed by Fred
erica. an organ manufacturer OF Saxony.
In 1853. The first genuine upright piano
was invented in England and the United
States by John Isaac Hawkins. an Eng
lishman, in 1900

PARIS, June Z, 1911.
The famous labor leader. Emil Pataud,
who distinguished himself few years
ago by organizing a sudden strike of
electricians which plunged Paris into
darkness. has written, in cola boraton. a
curious play called .'Demain,' which has
been produced at the Theater Moliere.
The tomorrow of the title is twenty
years hence There has been a fusion
of all the electric lighting companies in
Paris and the provinces. The order has
gone forth to ''saboter' the current
Langlade, the secretary of the strike
committee, is deputed to carry Ii out,
but at the critical moment is slain by
his son. who has bourgeois sympathies
Nevertheless, the high tension cables are
cut by another. who died also. electro
cuted.
The public appeared TO find the play to
their taste, and to accept, perhaps with
gratitude, the tip of the labor leader
as to the proletariats revenge on So
ciety.
