uay morning was solemn moment destined to be historical in this town where the actor is more important person than anywhere in the world At that instant M. le Bargy trod the boards of the Comedie 'Francaise fol the last time. The curtain fell on the farewell benefit performance, tc which every member of the House oi Moliere is entitled by right on leav- ing, and M. le Bargy finally ceased to belong to the Comedie. He had been there thirty-one years, and had been threatening on and off to resign, and now he has done the deed.
 Half Paris is much buster with M. le .Bargys future plans than with the European political crisis. M. le Bargy's situation is peculiar. He does not intend in the least to retire and he is engaged at an enormous salary to appear at the Porte Saint Martin next season. But the bylaws of the House of Moliere, which the great Napoleon himself was at pains to supervise, and which he pictur- esquely signed at Moscow just before the retreat, forbid a retired member to act in any other Paris theater. Hence, the Comedie Franchise will be compelled by it's own constitution to prosecute M le Bargy, as it has pros ecuted other rebels, such as Madame Sarah Bernhardt and Coquelin. M. le Bargy, according to precedent, will be ordered to pay enormous damages. But the peculiarity of these actions brought by the House of Moliere against it's eX-inmates is that the yer diets of the courts invariably remain platonic. The rebels are sentenced magnanimous Comedie does not press the point.
 President Liberal.
 The president of the Republic, who it is useless to diguise the fact-is made the butt of Jokers and carica- lures to an extent unthinkable i'll other countries, even the United States, has just done an exceedingly humorous and "Parisian' thing. An association of humorous artists has started fund to Support home for decayed comic cartoonists. The plight of funny artist who falls upon evil days after having mEde or tried to make the public laua all his life. is peculiarly pathetic. It touched M. Fall Heres, and he has ,ent a handsome donation to the fund.
 This seems mere ordinary act of generosity, but the point is that these very same humcrists have been per sistently offensive towards the presi- dent They never get up show but what he is ridiculed fifty times over in style that has long since forgot ten what good taste is. M. Fallieres' donation, which they have accepted gratefully, ought to make many car icaturist's conscience smart.
 Boz Is Kidnapped.
 Lillie is exercised over a mysterious affair which occurred at midnight in their town. A pale little boy of ten, in rags, had been waking people up by singing ill the street, and good many were at their windows invoking l>, ,,t h1occi1,n hic when suddenly large motor car dashed around the corner and halted. Two men who were ill the vehicle called to the lad, who hesitated a moment, and then, apparently think ing that he was to have a present, approached the vehicle. He was promptly seized by two strong men and thrown into the automobile, which went off at full speed, while the boy cried for help.
 A passer-by ran after the car, but was soon distanced He was, how ever, able to take it's number, which he communicated to the police. The investigation has thrown no light on this extraordinary adventure, as no child is reported as having disappear ed, nor have visits to the different garages led to the discovery of the black motor car. The number of the car is not on the list at the Perfec- ture, but the theory is that the small boy may have left his home to roam about, and that his relatives, having at last succeeded i'll tracing him, were carrying him back. This, however does not appear probable as when he was seized he called out for hedp.
