SAMOANs HONOR MEMORY
 OFR.L. STEVENSON TODAY

Although his remains lie buried on mountain peak in distant isle of the South Pacific, Robert Louis Stew enson, the well beloved Scottish nov elist, does not sleep in a neglected grave. To-day, as on every third of ecember since 1895. the year follow ing Stevenson's death, the natives of Samoa will hold memorial services for one whom they called chief and gave the name of Tusitula, and will place fragrant flowers on his final resting place.
 The great novelist removed to Sa-, rnoa in 1887, and, captivated by the climate and scenery and the kindly and affectionate natives, he. determin- ed to spend the remainder of his life there. He bought an estate near Apta. on the island of ppolo. He gave to his home the name of Vaflima' and it was upon the mountain side there that he died on Dec. g. 1894. He. had asked that he be buried on the summit of the forest-c1ad vaila, and this request was carried out. In or der to reach the spot selected small army of natives had to slash a way through the tangled jungle. Half a, hundred natives took turns in car rying the coffin over this pathway to the mountain peak. The grave is marked by a monument which bears the inscription, '"The Tomb of Tus1tu- la." the name given to the novelist by the natives. Another tablet Of bronze is inscribed with the epitapn written by Stevenson, which begins:
 ssUnder the wide and starry sky
 Dig the grave and let me 1ie.''

JULES CLARETIE,
 RETIRING HEAD OF THE
 COMEDIE, IS 73 TO-DAY

M Jules Claretie, who recently re- tired as director of the Comedie Fran cais, the great national theatre of Paris, after a devoted service of twen- ty-eight years, will celebrate his sev enty-third birthday to-day. The great novelist, dramatic critic and feuilletonist undertook the difficult task of managing the Theatre Fran cais in 1885, and in the opinion of those best able to judge he has been the ablest director the house of Mo- Here has known since it's establish ment in 1880.
 M. Claretie's real name is Arsene Arnaud, and he was born on Dec. 3, 1s4O, at Limoges, famed for it's chi ma He was educated at the Lycee Bonaparte ta Paris, and entering jour nalism, acting as war correspondent years later When the second em- pire crumbIed and the republic was established on it's ruins, M. Claretie returned to Paris and entered upod his career as a critic and feuilleton- ist His first success as a novelist was scored with 'EAssassin,' pub lished when the author was only twenty-five Of his fiction works, that best Known on this side of the Atlantic is 'L'Americaine,' published twenty years ago.
 Many honors have been showered upon M. CIaretie. He has been one of the ''immortals'' of France for nearly a quarter of a century, having been elected to the Academy in 1889. He is also a member of PAcademie du Canada, and a commander of the Le- ss1on of Honor
 In the domain of history M. Clare tie has written a number of interest ing volumes, nearly all strongly and bitterly anti-German in tone, inc1ud- ing a hve-volume history of the rev. oIution of 1S70-1s71, Paris As siege,' and 'Le Champ de Bataille de Sedan.''
 AS executive head of the renowned Comedie, the great government-en- dowed playhouse for the perpetuation of the best traditions of the classic stage, M. CIaretie has faced a thou sand difficulties, and solved them. A large majority of the members of the troupe are ''pensionaires,'' and as such share in the profits instead of re- ceiving salary. M. CIaretie has un- dertaken many suits in the courts against ''pensionaires'' who have left the Comedie to accept more remun- erative engagements elsewhere, among the number having been Co., quelin and Bernhardt-
 The Comedie is the oldest and greatest of the four French theatres which are supported by the state. It was founded in 1880 by Louis XIV, the actors being chosen from the company of Moliere, who had died a few years before During the revo- lutfon the theatre ceased to exist, but 1t was soon restored by Napoleon, and sver since it has served it's purpose 3f keeping alive the classic traditions of the French drama
