 The play, which deals with the story connected with the ring given to the Earl of Essex by Queen Elizabeth, is slow and without the slightest light CT relief it apparently being writ. ten for the sake of the death scene, which reproduces Delaroehes picture in the Louvre.

AMERICAN WOMAN ' IS NOW RECEIVING
 SERIES 0F HONORS
Presided at International Council and Made
 Fine Speech
FRENCH WOMEN WAKE

PARIS. April 20-Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indianapolis. formerly presi- dent or the international council of women, is receiving a series of honors from the women of France, by whom she is greatly esteemed. She pre- sided at a Paris meeting of the French section of the international council and delivered in French a rather remarkable speech in which she pointed out to her French fellow workers ways to carry on what she termed American propaganda for a larger service of women on questions of public moment Mrs. Sewall later went to many other cities in central and southern France, where she de livered a series of addresses. and then to Brussels.
 The nature Of her reception in Paris is another indication that the women of France. without going so far as to be suflragetes. are gradually assum ing a wider sphere of influence in the discussion of public and national prob lens.
 Madame Curie. who underwent an operation for appendicitis few weeks ago, is now greatly improved and il is expected that she will be able to take part in the forthcoming deli berations of the international com mission for fixing a radium standard. At the request of the commission she has prepared @ glass tube of three milhmeters," (1l7 of an inch in dia- meter and three centimeters l.lS2 inchesD in length. It has been decided that the exact amount Of radium con- tained in this tube will be recognized as the standard weight, which in or dinary terms of measurement would be about two centigrammes (.30S6 grains ayoirdupois). The tube will be sealed at both ends. but small platinum wire will allow the constant passage Of an electric current which will prevent the radium rays from brelN1ing the glass.
 Madame Currie's name Is often heard in public discussion in France today. The vast laboratory. which is now building for her use as part of the Sorbonne, will be one Of the most in France. It is located on the site Of the former convent of Carmelites It will be fronted by a large garden, on the other side of which is the house in which the Carnegie International Peace Population has comfortable and artistic quarters.

 The prince has been given a card by the police, made out in the name of the Earl of Chester. of the kind that is given to ambassadors, min isters and journalists in Paris. It en- ables his carriage to pass through the police lines when traffic is suspended. and also serves as an identification paper in case of need. He will be taken by his host or by his tutor over the same historic ground as that -tra versed in 1908 by King George and Queen Mary, who for the occasion were Lord and, Lady Killarney. This will include sight seeing of the most instructive kind. which will have an important part in the education of the boy in France, including the museums of Paris. the glories of FontainebIeau, NOUOleRle ' dISdllltS anu AldlAtil4- and the famous Malmaison with it's Napoleonic relics.
 The Marquis and Marchioness de Breteuil have a finely aDlFinted resi- dence on the famous Avenue de Bois de Boulogne. The Marchioness was Miss Edith Garner Of New York. They have two children. both boys, who are somewhat older than the prince. The Marquis, who is a descendant of an ancient and distinguished family, is 64 years of age and is fine type of the old French aristocrat. He is a keen sportsman and 8 magnificent shot. King Carlos of Portugal. who. with the Crown Prince, was assas' sinsted at Lisbon few years ago, was a frequent visitor to the coyerts at the Breteuil chateau near CheV- reuse in the department of Seine an Disc.

 of Accident

PARIS. April 20-Lieut M H. A. Boncour, Of the Twenty-seyenth in- fantry regiment was killed this morn ing in an aeropiane accident He was making a flight in the vicinity of Bar-leDuc. when he fell from a great height
 An examination of the body showed that Lieut.. Boncour's eyeglass6S were covered with frost and it is supposed that this prevented him. while attemp- ting to make a landing, from seeing that he was flying directly into a thick forest The motor was not responsib- le for the accident.
 SCHWETZINGEN, Germany, April 20-The fourteen passengers carried by the Schuetts-Lanz dirigible balloon on it's first flight this year, had @ narrow escape from death this morn ing. When the dirigible. with the in- ventor, Prof. Schuette, acting as pilot, had reached an altitude of several hundred feet the yeritable steering gear jammed, and the airship plunged at full speed to the earth, where it buried its bows and the foremost gon- dola in the ground.
 The six inmates of this sOndola, to- gether with Prof. Schuette, and me ChaniC, were thrown out with great violence but nobody except the me chanic who had his breast crushed in, suffered any serious injury.
 The dirisible, with the remaining passengers. then arose again rapidly. The water ballast containers had been smashed and the airship was blown helplessly 10 the other side of the Rhine, when a descent was eventually effected without further mishap.

THE GOLDFINCH.
Changes In Plumage That Are Puz-
King to the Novice.

Changes In Plumage That Are Puz-
King to the Novice.
Most every one in America Is ac-
quainted with the goldfinch, but many
people know the bird by the name Of
lettuce bird on account of its bright
yellow color. Goldfinch is very ap-
propriate name, as the bright yellow
of the male when he Is in breeding
plumage is like FURNISHED gold. The
female goldfnch is more modestly
dressed than her mate. The changes
in plumage Of the male are very inter
esting and TO the novice somewhat puz-
zling.
Until the student becomes acquainted
with the bird he may wonder why he
sees no males during the winter. The
truth is at this season the fiOcks of sup
posed female goldfnches are really Of
both sexes, the male bird having as
sumed in the previous fall, usually
by the end OF October, a plumage close
ly resembling that of the female and
young bird of the year. The male re-
tains this inconspicuous dress until
late in February, when one can notice
a gradual change taking place in some
of the birds.
This renewal OF feathers Is actively
continued through March and April
and by May l our respondent bird is
with us again. The song period with
the male goldfnch continues as long as
he wears his gold and black livery. for
1t commences as early as the middle OF
March and ends late in August.

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First Steamer That Piled For Hire
In Great Britain.

Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adver-
tisement of the first steamer that piled
for hire in Great Britain-namely.
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the ad-
yertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1912:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail 10y the power of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the BroOmielaw
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Green
ock on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fri
days in the morning TO suit the tide.
The elegance, comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the appreciation of
the HuDliN, anu lhS pippiiCtVl 10 NC
termined to do everything in his power
to merit public encouragement. The
terms are far the present shlllings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second, but beyond these rates
nothing is to be allowed to servants or
any other person employed about the
vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, of whose ele
gance, comfort and speed he was so
proud, alongside a modern ocean
racer or one of the latest palatial river
steamers of the Clyde or Thames, all
so well advertised ?-Chambers Jour
