postmaster, came sauntering up the
street In his hand he carried a let

LOOK TO RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS
Are Certain to Play an Important Part
In Furnishing Power for
Battleships

In discussing the fact that the use
OF oil instead OF coal as fuel In the
English navy is under consideration
1t Is time Russia should pay serious
attention 10 this question II England
Is replacing It's own cheap coal b. the
more expensive foreign product there
must be important advantages on the
side OF naphtha. and In the future
Russian feet the part to be played by
this fuel will be a most important one
the Novoe vremya says Many mills
and factories have gone over 10
naphtha as fuel and the consumption
Is Increasing every year
Russia owns immense oil fields and
II could be the chief supplier Of the
world. The need OF organization in
the business Is recognized by the
government and n number OF special
meetings have been held for discuss
Ing the subject. Kew conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation oi
government territories. and the regu
lations for investigations have been
changed. Some territories known as
being rich In oil have been closed TO
private enterprise. such as the Ap
sheron peninsula. near Baku. and vari'
Gus Islands OF the Caspian sea. as well
as some territories in the Transcas'
plan Ural and Gerghana districts. and
others In the north OF Russia and 81
IBERIA. amounting TO millions OF acres.
The reason for this action is the Wish
10 preserve these districts from e1'
haustion.
Another question concerns the mat
ter OF Investigation. IL is quite neces-
sary that the right OF investigation be
granted on large scale. and not only
TOT comparatively rmall lots OF ground.
where the investigation might not pay.
The government Is aware OF this fact
and, according to the new regulations
the plots OF ground allotted for inves'
ugation are to be Increased tenfold
The most advisable system Is 10
grant concessions that would induce
capitalists to place their money In
sucn undertakings. Under the new
regulations regarding the investigation
OF naphtha districts. the government
proposes to publish geological dc
scriptions OF the various districts.

she used to give fine dinners One day she had been hearing from a crab who

feature Of the convention Mrs. Kelley

The members were instructed to call
for the bureau when answering the
circular letters sent out by the depart

KISSED THE PRINCESS BIZARRE.
operotta by Notorious Louise of Sax

Operetta by Notorious Louise Of Sax
ony a Dismal Failure in Rome.
Boston Transcript: A short time
ago there was performed in Rome an
international scandal in the shape Of
an Operetta written with professional
assistance) by Princess Louise Of Sax
ony, concerning the escapades which
have made her notorious in the courts
Of Europe and popular in foreign CAPT
tails among the frequenters Of book
shops exploiting the magic phrase,
"Verboten in Deutschland"
Forbidden in Germany the Princess
Louise certainly is. When her father,
the present king of Saxony. and his
councillors warmly objected to her run
ming away with a music teacher, she
retaliated by writing memoirs about
the whole incident and published them
wherever the Saxon influence could
not maintain an effective censorship.
Beloved of the scandal-fed public, she
yielded to the temptation Of an Italian
theatre manager to write a comic
opera about herself. And this opera,
Or more accurately, satirical operetta,
was dis1nally performed in Rome, after
immense advertising, with music by
her husband, the music teacher, To-
SELF.
1t is called The Princess Bizarre"
and follows in a would be localized
form the e~scapades with which she
scandalized Europe. In the first act
the king and court Of a certain un-
named country are out hunting. The
princess, who has just been married,
%rcvolts against the prospect of re-
naming respectable and belittlihg her
self to the customs Ind etiquette Of
h court. She has escapes from the
wedding ceremony and has come in
peasants costume among the people,
whom h loves. She meets four Bo-
hemianS, including the painter Fer
nand, and at the cad of the act runs
away with them to live their free life.
In the second act, which takes place
in the artists Bohemia, she is obliged
to fight for her lover against an usurp-
ing mistress. Close pom the heels Of
her success comes the announcement
that the reigning king of her native
land is dead, that her husband has
assembled the throne, and that she is
forgiven and invited to return. JOY
fully she goes back.
But in the third act, in the pomp Of
the court, she changes her mind nee
more, and decides for Bohemian life.
Farewell" she says. Farewell, my
native land! Thy free daughter, the
Princess Bizarre, salutes thee" She
leaves with her Bohemian friends new
er to return.
All the characters were offered as
satires on living ~persOnages, easily
recognizable to those who had read
the published memoirs. But all these
elements Of interest did not succeed in
saving the play. The Italian audience,
according to report, Kissed it to a.
~standstill in the third act, and the
operetta, with its spleen and trivial
ties. was pronounced a "clamorous
failure" and doomed to eternal obliv-
ion.
