PARIS OF THE SOS.
As II is Pictured in the Memoirs of
Emile Bergerat

Emile Bergerat. journalist, dram
attic critic brilliant talker and son-in-
law of Theophile Gautier. has pub
lished the first volume of his memoirs.
which is brought out by Fasquelle un-
der the title Souvenirs dun Enfant
de Paris; les Annees de Boheme." In
the twilight of his career the com
placent philosopher of the bouleyards
has begun to rake together the au-
tumnal leaves of his experience. and
they make crisp and amusing reading.
The souvenirs begin with the spring
of 1864, when M. Bergerat was a stu
dent at the Lycee Charlemagne. and
bring us down to May, 1872, when he
married Mile Estelle Gautier, young
est daughter of the author of 'Emaux
ct Canoes" and sister of Mile Judith
Gautier, who became the wife of the
late Catulle Mendes.
Brought up in close intimacy with
Victor Hugo. NJ Bergerat devotes the
first chapter of his book to the poet.
who is described, not as the solemn,
grandiloquent, egotistical. cathedral
like old man, but as frolicsome, hu-
morous comrade, delighting in the So
ciety of children. Victor Hugo always
had an aversion for Emile lola
Learning one day that young lola had
written a literary criticism ridicuiing
'Ernani" and the romantic school,
the author of Les Ghatiments' sent
for Hola's books, which were read to
him by the devoted Nine. Drouet.
In 1867 NJ. Bergerat went to Men

scription, and where he met short

was constantly wrapped in a Scotch
plaid. and whose name was Cecil
Rhodes. The memoirs are replete
with new and interesting anecdotes
of Theophile Gautier. There was
something of the sadness and pathos
of Don Quixote in Theophile Gautier,
who, during his lifetime, was seldom
understood. To the public he was the
impotuous spectator who donned the
famous red waisteoat on the occasion
of the first night OF "Ernana," as a
symbol of his convictions. Il never

not an aggressive one.
Gautier officiated as one of the two

was Pierre Lanfrey. author of the life
of Napoleon, in which the emperor

l say to him ?" 'Why. congratulate

heved that If the missing girl appears
on either road tonight she will leave
some trail by which she can be fol-
lowed tomorrow. Lacking this further

ARGUE ON DEMURRER
TO MANDAMUS SUIT

Argument was made today on the
demurrer of the Terre Haute, Indian
apolis and Eastern Traction company
TO the mandamus suit entered in the
Wayne circuit court by the county
commissioners to compel it to lay its
tracks outside the 46 foot improve
ment of the National road west. Fer
dinand Winters, represented the trac-
ton company and County Attorney
John F. Robbins, Henry U. Johnson,
and Thomas J. Study represented the
commissioners. The main point con-
tended was whether the commission
ers have the power to order the COM
pany to SO lay it's tracks. Ferdinand
Winters, who argued all morning and
for large part OF the afternoon, cited
the constitution of the United States
and of Indiana and numerous decis-
ions of the supreme court to support
his contention that such power was
not vested in the commissioners.
