Coarse Epithets, Fights Fish Horns and Arrests Follow an Attempt to

Paris, Feb 24.-sRiotous scene, were enacted at the Comedie Fran calse tonight during the production o Henry Bernsteins "Apres Moi" rival ling those which in 1891 forced tho withdrawal after two presentations c Victorien Sardou's "Thermidor."
 M. Lepine, the prefect of police, hat hundreds of police and Republican guards scattered about inside the thea ter. In the first act where Le Bargy is asked the question, What is the most. irreparable thing in life?" man in the balcony rose and shouted a coarse epithet as a response. Instant ly the theater was in an uproar. Cries of Put him out!" and No, no,y were everywhere yelled as detectives dragged the offending man from his seat. This demonstration was follow ed by cries of "Deserter" and Down with the Jews and it was several minutes before the manifestants ceased and permitted the actors to proceed.
 A moment later, however, pigeons which had been hurled from the gal lery, caused women in the audience to shriek as they fiuttered in the orches- tra
 During intermission after the first act the Camelots Du Roi started a riot in the gallery, and as they were dragged out several Of them were struck by adherents of Bernstein After this scores of spectators, men and women, with threatening ges- lures, engaged in loud arguments for and against the play The climax of the disorder was reached in the sec ond act when six men barricaded themselves in a loge and caused suspension of the play for five minutes by blowing fish horns. Finally. the DO lice battered in the doors of the ioge and arrested the disturbers.
 There is a sensational controversy going on in the newspapers concern ing Bernstein, who has written let ter to the Matoin admitting that he deserted from the army four months before his time was up, but claimed that this act was due to his infatua- ton for a woman.
 Tonight Bernstein wrote a letter to M Briand, the premier, asking him to give the loyaist Lacours his liberty temporarily, so that the author may fight a duel with him. Lacour, who is vice president of the Camelots Du Roi, is in jail for assaulting Premier Briand last November. He sent his seconds to Bernsten yesterday.

A Great Trade Secret.

As every one knows. the process Of
manufacturing the paper Of which
Bank of England notes are made Is
one Of the greatest of all trade secrets.
II is known only to the governor Of
the Bank Of England and to three 9th
er persons intimately connected with
the industry, which is carried on at
Overton, quiet little village In Hants-
All that the outside world is allowed
to know concerning this precious pa
per is that 1t Is made, among other In
gradients. out Of charred husks and
Rhenish vines.
Quite as profound secret Is the
manufacture Of both the paper and
the ink used for American banknotes.
The former has the double advantage
of not being a secret preparation. but
one that only takes one particular
kind of ink, which is quite unique. the
American government paying the man
ufacturer, who alone possesses the Sc
cret, the sum of 10000 year for
making it-Pearson's Weekly.
