APACHE SLANG PARIS FAD

Make Underworld Language

Apaches is the latest fad taken up in
society circles here. Not only French
people. but also foreigners of the fash
ionable get here, are now vying with
each other in picking up the largest
stock of words and phrases of argot
spolsea on fortificaions and in the
outer slums.
Slang dictionaries are sold to tour
lists at the boulevard kiosks, and so
ciety women are taking lessons in ar
got. for which. of course. high fees are
charged by the instructors.
Several American women are among
those taking lessons, and it is be-
lieved to be one of them who originat-
ed the idea. The fad is thought. to
have arisen in consequence of the in
tense interest taken in the Paris un-
derworld through the exploits Of the
motor bandits.

6ourse or Board of Trade.

Paris.-At last It is settled that the
old Palais Royal is to disappear. The
bourse. or Paris board OF trade, or
Wall street. or Fourth avenue, of
Paris. is about to take the place of
the old palace. which was the adorn-
ment of the Paris OF our great grand
fathers. This center of frivolous and
corrupted Paris OF the distant past is
doomed to disappear beyond redemp-
ton. The Society of the Friends of
Old Paris are powerless to save 1t.
Indeed. 1t has been dead this many
a day. 1t has become a cemetery
without mourning, a metropolis with
out poetry. There is hardly a dream
OF Its past that has not been de-
stroyed.
The great square Is given over to

ties of the past now promenade the

long since moved away.
In the beginning of the eighteenth
century the Palais Royal was sort
of open-air club where people dis

OF Paris from world politics to pri-

the Versailles and the opera; the side
lights of history and the history of

the garden to the bourgeoisie, and
the latter opened access for the Or

Louis Philippe fell for having trusted
the bourgeoisie too much.

OLD PILOT is DEAD

Jones about 1856. when Samuel Glenn
ems became his pupil. Clemens then
gathered material later used for his
Life on the Mississippi" Years
later, afte- he won literary fame, he
made trip from St. Louis to New
Orleans with Captain Bixby, and only
few years ago was his guest in st.
Louis.
Captain Bixby was of small physi-
que, nervous and wiry. He had a
tremendous energy. Throughout his
river service he kept diary, record
ing daily the events and the shifting
of the river current. This record the
United States government is anxious
to get and It probably will be en-
bodied in book which will further
perpetuate Captain Bixby's fame.
Mark Twain in his writing made
Captain Bixby out profane man.
This was incorrect, his other friends
say. He was. by reputation, gentle
in speech and courteous to all men
he met.

MODERN ARMS IN THE SUDAN
Somebody Supplying TrIbesmen With
UP-to-Date Weapons-Formerly
Used Spears.

London.-News has been received
FROM Abyssinia suggesting the pres
ence in the Sudan of some adventur-
ers who are arming and drilling tribes
hitherto savage and unprovided with
any weapons but the bow and spear
Large quantities of rifles and am
munition have reached these tribes
The region chiefly affected is that be-
tween northern Uganda. the western
border of Abyssinia and the south
eastern corner of Anglo-Egyptian su-
dan.
The rifles are OF French manu-
facture and stamped with the date
1879, but it is declared that many of
them are in reality quite new.
During the recent British opera

the Anuaks in the Sudan. wild and
practically naked tribes were all
found to be armed with similar rifles.
which had replaced their traditional
spears and shields.
The 'sayages had evidently been
trained. They we're clothed only in
beads plus new bandeliers of cart
ridges. and it was remarkable that
words of command were heard to be
given by Gallas and Arabs to sayages
,who had never before shown any
signs Of dicipline or training.

lppe Egalite after having voted
for the death of Louis XVI. had to
stand for an hour before his own
head was cut off. 1t is much remem-
bered for its orgies during the Re-
gency.
But to mans credit. be 1t noted, that
this old palace is most vividly re-
membered because here Camille Des-
moulins harangued the people and dis
tributed green leaves and rallied
them to take the bastile the next day.
Napoleon l. used the old palace as a
resting place for his heroes after each
campaign.
Almost all the characters of his "Hu-
man Comedy" passed through 1t. 1t
was the home of the worlds vices,
where men came and went, grumbled,
shouted. jostled. blasphemed; 1t was
the haunt of gamblers and Iibertines.

Hero of "life on the Mississippi"
on Duty to End.
Famous Character Resented Notorl-
ety-DisIiked Use of His Name
by Mark Twain, Who Was
Under His Tutelage.

st. Louis, Mo.--Horace E. Bixby,
the best known of the Mississippi
river pilots, who taught the art to
Mark Twain, is dead. Captain Bixby
died suddenly at his home.
DR.. Rolla Bracy, coroner of St.
Louis county. who held an inquest
said death was caused by apoplexy.
Captain Bixby was eighty-six years
old, and was still in the river service
at the time of his death. He daily ex-
pected call to take out the govern
ment towboat Nokomis. He arose
early and dressed. A little later his
wife went to his room and found him
lying dead on his bed. He died as he
often had said he wished to die, "in
the harness"
Captain Bixby's fame rests upon
the writing of a cub pilot, one of the
many youths he taught-Samuel
Clemens mark Twain. He made an
epic of the days he spent with Bixby
and the pilots name was known
throughout the world. Captain Bixby
received hundreds OF letters from
strangers who knew him solely
