PARIS. August 10.-There Is at least
one workgirl in Paris who is supremeiy
happy today. She is Mile Victoria Cornu.
Her happiness, which has been brought
about by gift Of 5000. is not the result
of luck. 1t is the reward of industry and
the skill she has acquired in her humble
calling Of feather dresser.
When Nine. Prudence Antoinette Bati-
jol, a wealthy widow. died in 1881 she
left to the city a sum of money. the inter-
est Of which was to be given annually to
q spinster workwoman. This year the
amount Of the interest was 5000.
There were fifty-five candidates for the
widows bounty. They included milliners.
dressmakers, feather dressers and work
ers In flowers and ribbons. Mile. Cornu.
who resides with her parents In the Rue
Vivienne, was selected. Her recort of in
dustry Is q meritorious one. Her success
began when she was at school. She
learned to draw and paint. and attained
such a degree of perfection that the
palms of merit were presented to her in
the amphitheater Of the Sorbonne. In the
workroom she became an expert In the
delicate art Of feather dressing. and won
one silver and four bronze medals.
The $1,000 which has come to her so
unexpectedly will assure for her a smiling
future.

French Couple Sternly Rebuked fo'

Special Oabiegram to The Star.
PARIS, August 1O-A great many
things are forbidden In railroad cars In
all countries. In Germany. of course
everything Is ''verboten" everywhere. II
appears that at least on a suburban line
near Paris kissing is to be added to the
rubric of things banned. A couple OF
lovers on the line between Paris and
Pantin, having secured an empty COM
partment, were making the best use OF
the short time of solitude before them.
when a sour-visaged ticket collector re-
quested them, not too courteously, to try
to behave themselves decently. The
young man defended himself warmly.
II am behaving with perfect propriety.
he protested, lin kissing my fiancee. II
Is not only my privilege and pleasure.
but my duty as well. I'll begin again to-
morrow If please. The worthy col
lector, too. had his own and less pleas
ant conception of duty, SO the exuberant
couple were soon in the presence of the
station master at Pantin.
But, SIR, sobbed the girl. I'VE did
nothing wrong at all; We were only kiss
ing each other. There's no law against
that"
There's the companys regulation
solemnly averred the station master, and
that was the end of 1t.

Special Cablesram to The Star
PARIS. August 1O.-Twelve years ago
there died at sixty five according to
some records. at fifty-seven according
to the highly improbable date OF birth
given by herself, a once famous beauty
whose career was one Of the strangest
Of the second empire days. Nina Oldoini,

was the Marchese Oldoini, but she some
times herself insinuated that her real IA

glione. At seventeen she came to Paris.
sent, apparently, by Cavour. She and
the count had parted, and her mission
in Paris was to ''get around" Napoleon
III. Hence the war in which France
helped Italy, and hence, therefore, United
Italy.
, Perhaps she exaggerated her political
influence. but 1t is at least certain that
she did fascinate Napoleon III. At the
court Of the Tuilleries the beautiful Nine.
d. Castiglione played a foremost part.
She enjoyed appearing as a rival Of the
empress. who had been mere Mile. de
Montijo when Nina di Castiglione had
first appeared in Paris.
NO Love Between women.
The two women did not love one an
other. NJ. Loliee tells q story of Nine.
di Castiglione's ballroom Vaccinations.
She and the empress had the same hair
dresser. who one night had arranged a
sensational new coiffure for his imperial
mistress. Nine. di Castiglione begged
him to do her hair In the same manner.
He compiled. but obtained her word OF
honor that she would not appear with
that couture in the presence Of the en-
press at the next ball at the Tuilleries.
AS the empress entered with the new
couture. Nine. di Castiglione, who had
cheerfully perjured herself, came in from
the other end of the room with her hair
done In the same manner. Empress and
favorite glared at one another. and each
went her way. The last years of the
beauty were a tragedy. After the fall of
the empire she turned to the Due dor
leans and tried to act the Egeria to the
Conlte de Chambord, the DUO. d Aumaie
and the Comte de Paris. But as she aged
her political influence died, and her end
was miserable. She shut herself up IN
her fiat in the Place Vendome, and then
in the Rue Cambon, and lived embittered
among memories

LONDON, August 1O.-Although the
Olympic games are over and the British
athletes have returned nome beaten, and
have skunk away into oblivion, the Eng
lish people arc still smarting under the
blow which their pride received at Stock
holm and which most of the newspapers
tried as far as possible to conceal or at
least explain away.
What the daily foreign press in Eu-
rope, as we'll as in America, wrote
about English inferiority in sports Gre
ated comparatively little sensation. as the
ma jority of people here are firmly con-
WINGED that 1t is these papers purpose
always to expose Englishmen to hatred
and ridicule, and their criticism of the
English was generally believed to be the
result of their hatred against a really
superior race.
If the English athletes brought home no
laurels and if their few victories were
practically all won by colonials, every
body on John Bulls little island re-
manned convinced that among the COM

Prop Crumbles Away.
Alas, this pretty bubble has burst. it's
scintilating colors no longer dazzle the
eyes Of the British People The foreign
daily press has ceased to write about the
Olympic games. but the monthly sports
magazines, which are not SO easily &C.
cused of bias, have begun their summing
up of the great trials at Stockholm, and
before their cool, dispassionate criticism
the last prop Of British pride crumbles
away and the naked Truth is seen by the
English. who. on general principles, hate
everything naked.
In this summing up nothing is heard
who. on the contrary, when they saw
that they were in danger Of losing, dis
played a good deal Of the original brute
in man, and who repeatedly came very
near being disqualified for their ungen-
tlemanlike tactics, especially in the water

War Office Tactics.

An interesting side light upon the way
things are conducted at the war office il
thrown by an incident that is being wide

of Rye.
When barely twenty-one. John Day, a

ward he was sent out to the Crimea He
went through all the hardships of that
war, and took his part in the trenches
before Sebastopol. He suffered SO severely
that he was invaded home at the con-
clusiOn of the campaign.
The government at that time awarded
Day a medal. together with the one shil.
ling day that the decoration carried
with it. The medal remained unissued
although Day was told that 1t was ali
right. and that it was coming along later
