Revived an Ancient Custom

From the New York Times.
 Iondon-A strange custom. dating back to Norman times, was revived recently in Alderney.
 Daniel Sebire Juart. iustice-eleet Of Attorney. whose election the royal court at Guernsey had annulled because he had been sentenced to 8 term of Imprisonment some years ago. raised a clameuf de Haro, or ''ery for justice" against the fresh election by kneeling. barcheaded, at the entrance of the courthouse and exclaim- ing: Haro, FIaro, Haro, a fafde, non prince, On me fait tort' tielp, my princel 1 am wrongedD
 The clameur de Haro. an ancient GUS tom of crying for justice still survives Tn the Channel islands The ap, elhent must on his knees and before witnesses raise the cry, which acts as an injunction until the alleged tort or trespass has been adludfeated upon by the court. If the trespasser continues. he Is liable tc ar rest and punishment.
 Though the clameur Is still legal in the Channel islands. recourse to 1t is very rare, and there has been no instance of 1t In Alderney for two centuries. It Is. however, very effective procedure. The derivation popularly ascribed to the plea is curious. "Haro' is said to be an ab- breviation of "Ha! Rollot' direct ap- peal to Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy and is thus traced back to the days when there was no courts and justice was per- sonally meted out by princes. It is how ever, more probable that "Harol" is simply an exclamation to attract atten- tion.

  story of the rescue of a Balzac manu- script which just escaped the fire.
 Countess Miniszech, who died a few years ago, had many valuable documents and manuscripts among her collection of books. The collection was scattered at her death, being divided among her rela- lives. a division that received no public ity whatsoever, but Vicomte Lovenjoul heard of 1t. Knowing that she had some treasures fin the way of manuscripts, and realizing the careessness of servants at such a time and the confusion of people in charge, he feared for the safety of these precious documents
 On making inquiry he found that lot of rubbish had been thrown out-"just old papers," Counting on his Knowledge of French thrift among the little shopkeep- ers-the Paris shopkeepers have pet economy and that is to press into service any kind of paper as long as it Is clean, thus saving an expenditure in wrapping paper-vicomte Lovenjoul did not lose Q moment in securing all the shops in the neighborhood of the home of Countess Miniszech.
 After microscopic search. miraculous as it may seem. the persistent hunter saw in a green grocers some twisted paper in the form of cornucopia ready for use and there he recognized in the faded ink the we'll known handwriting of Balzac. This manuscript is now in the collection.

London, May 3o.-(Special) = Sometime ago Harry Higgins had it intimated to him that he could have a baronetcy if he wished in connection with his work at the opera. But he did not wish 1t, as he is determined, and that before long, to be a full-blown peer. His chance has now come and I am told the comforting of the honor is but matter of a very little time. He was more to the fore at the gala performance for the Danish royal ties than the Marquis of Ripon, Lord Esher or any of the rest of them, which once more proves the power of money and personality. for when the great Har- " is present, though he does not say much he manages to put everyone else in a corner. He has a way of pretending to be humble, which. Is very. quaint, and when the King of the Danes said some thing to him about his profession, which 1t seems his majesty fancied had some thing to do with music. he answered he was merely solicitor which is the

vividly colored musical comedy, "The Redheads' is the weeks headliner al the Lyric. The Red Heads" Is the lar gest musical comedy in vaudeville It is Laskys pet attraction. In it he has placed his cleverest star, James B. Carson. The best lyrics and songs were written for this act; the prettiest chorus engaged; the handsomest costumes furnished; the newest scenic effects secured; the fresh- est comedy was prepared. In other words this is. the acme of his many offerings, and an act that will prove the jolllest hour of fun and laughter that the Lyric has had. The Redheads is by William LeBaron, and the music by Robert Hood Bowers, who has composed many of the most popular of the popular melodies. The cast is a large one. and Mir. Carson is known for his clever deilect work with the vaudeville skit, Could I Be More Polite" '"The Motor Girf' and Up and Down Broadway" "The Red Petticoat,' ' two of Mary Cahilrs comedies. "The Boys and Betty" and Judy Forgot" and with Gaby Deslys at the New York Winter Garden.

 with Eddie Foy in Across the River and Leona Stephens, most versatile and accomplished comedienne who has since entered vaudeville. and she will be one of the attractions at the Lyric this week in a novelty songalogue.
 Horton and LaTreska in a clown and doll patomime act will be one of the seasons novelties. and an act that will prove highly diverting to the patrons of the Lyric. It is different in every way from the ordinary act and will prove a distinct pleasure.
 The songs that are of the Hitting. dreamy the Italian Minstrels. will present a nov city that will prove enjoyable. Mingled with the songs is some snappy, sparkling comedy that is delight.
 The other act of the bill will be the Daleys, two expert skaters in new and beautiful skating speciality. Both are as graceful as skaters could we'll be, and their act Is one of the most enjoyable opening numbers that has been seen at the Lyric.

Most persons who are In jaili are there by mistake. They'll tell you so. The trouble is that they can't get the judge it's d story. This is it. says a Denver special to the New York World
 March g, Miss Bertha Race. s5. was ar rested with Arthur Meyers and Edward Pilot. who were accused by the police of having stolen lead pipe. Later on the men were arranged in the West Side court and were found guilty. Each was senten- ced to a term of 60 days in the county jail
 Assistant District Attorney Williams directed that Miss Race also be returned to jail-for what reason doesn't appear Then, apparently, she was forgotten by the authorities.
 The other day 1t dawned on.some bright official that there really was no more necessity of Miss Race being held as the two men he'd been convicted. He brought the matter of the attention of Judge But Ter In the West Side court. Judge Butler directed that she be released.
 He also ordered that for the 2s days she spent in jail she should be paid the usual witness fees.
 Miss Race left the county tail. With the S4s she received from the court she has decided to visit her home i'm St. Jos eph, Mo-. and bought new Easter hat

Princess Alexandra Always Smiles


 She is very pretty and very charming is little Princess Alexander of Teek. the prospective Vicereine of Canada, and she beats the best of the postcard actresses in the art of smiling. And this is all due to her mother, the motherly and sensible Duchess off Albany, who am told by former lady-in- waiting, used to say to the then Princess Alice, Always smile. never look cross or even surprised" And tho princess took the advice to heart No small child ever loathed a bath as did the fair Alice, who howled regularly every time her nurse performed the ceremony Oh. you cruel Nannie, she shouted all the time The Duchess of Albany, far from wealthy, spends much of her time saving money for her daughter. It seems the duchess boasted sometime ago that she was able to live on s10,00o a year. For one thing she does not lay out $500 a year on her dress. A bonnet (of the early Vic torian persuasion) will last her a year and she has it re-trimmed to do for another The future Queen of Canada dresses rather we'll in quiet way and has spe- cial penchant for feathers.
