ILL-LucK OF NAuNDoRFFs

Sued BY a Widow Of Eighty
Two,

Paris.-Although the French senate
declined recently to recognize the
Naundorffs as the descendants Of the
Little Dauphin, the son of Louis XVII.
nevertheless the Ill luck of the Royal
Bourbons seems to pursue the head of
the pretenders who, while calling him

keeps a dressmaking establishment un-
der the name of M. Chaigneau. He
has just been sued by an ancient
widow named Nine. Postel, aged
eighty-two, for the recovery of money
collected.
A few years ago Nine. Postel gave
a considerable sum to an orphanage
In the neighborhood Of Metz. Finding
that she had donated than she
could afford. even at her advanced
age, she instructed M. Chaigneau to
recover a portion. This he did to the
amount OF $12, 900 in the form of four
promissory notes for $4,000 each.
Some of the notes, 1t is understood.
have been paid, but so far the widow
alleges she has seen nought Of the
money.
M. Chaigneaux explained to the
court as follows: He had collected
one note. Half he kept for expenses:
half he turned owe to Nine. Postel, to-
gether with the three remaining notes.
He was astonished, but more grieved
than astonished, that Nine. Postel
should believe him capable of wrong
doing. AS for the business part Of the
transaction, $1,000 was not too great
a commission. and 1t was. moreover,
customary for the agent to take his
commission from the first payment
made. The court agreed with him
and the case was dismissed. with the
costs. on the aged plaintiff.

That western ideas of civilization

anese Municipal Governments" to the
members Of the Philadelphia City
club. Mr.. Shepard also declared that
the Japanese people were far ahead
Of Americans in solving municipal at.
fairs.
"In no other countries on the face
Of the EARTH" he said, "are the mu-
nicipal governments closer to the will
Of the people than they are in the
Flowery Kingdom, and graft and ex.
travagances such as often charged
against the officials of cities and
towns In our own country are prac.
tically unknown. While the munich.
palities Of Japan are of a more recent
development than u own they are
founded on q f1rmer basis to further
the prosperity Of the people. Patterned
after the cities of France and Prussia
their administration corresponds
greatly to that of the municipalities of
those two European countries. All
over Japan there is a marked progress
in municipal affairs. Public works are
being forwarded and they are con.
structing good roads and developing
their harbors."
Mr.. Shepard spent many years in
Japan and studied closely the phases
Of life in that empire. "As skilled
workmen," he said, tho Japanese are
rapidly becoming proficient and are
equal to the skilled workmen of our
own country. There is no child labor
in the factories, and because of this
wages have increased perceptibly.
While modern and ancient civiliza'
lions are c%ontrasted sharply with each
other in some parts of the japanese
islands, they are rather a modern
country with telegraphs, railroads and
other conveniences such as we in
America enjoy"
