Royal Bridesmaids Scattered

London, August 22.-(Special)-It is just % years this week since the King and Queen were married In the famous Chapel Royal of St. James palace. The same day happened to be the birthday of the Kings sister, Princess Victoria, who was then 25 and is now 47, and who was one of the 10 royal bridesmaids who supported the Princess Mary of 1893. Today these 10 royal women are widely separated. Only two are in England at the moment in addition to Princess Victoria, these be- ing Princess Victoria of Schleswig- Hoi- stein (who doesn't use her Germanic fam fly name any more than she can help), and Princess Louis of Battenberg' g daughter, Princess Louise Alexandra. The other still unmarried bridesmaid is Prin- cess Patricia who is in Canada. Of those who have themselves taken a husband, one is in Norway. as Queen. another in Spain as Queen. and a third in Sweden as crown princess. The Duke of Edinburgh g three daughters are now the Grand Duchess Cyril Vladimirovitch of Russia the Princess of Hohenlohe-L -Langenburg, and the Princess Alfonso of Orleans.

VAST SUMS DUE ON
 THE PARIS BOURSE.
Will Require Hundred Mill lion Dollars to Liquidate
IS COMPLEX PROBLEM
Many of Transactions Held Up by Outlook of War Were With Enemies of France-Brokers
 Must Pay if They Lose

Paris, August 15-(Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)-one hundred mill lion dollars Is the sum required, accord ing to the best estimates, to pay balances due on transactions on the Paris bourse at the end of July last year, settlement of which Is still in suspense. Finan- ciers agree that the longer the settlement is postponed the more difficult the final liquidation will become. so an earnest effort is being made to reach decision.
 A law will be introduced in the Cham Der of Deputies providing that the neces- sary funds be advanced by the Bank of France on the guarantee of the govern ment to aid the agents of change"--of- ficia1 stock brokers-who are collectively and individually responsible for the ob- 1igations of traders dealing through them. This law proposes that the "cour de compensation" that-is to say, the basic price of each security on which settle ments are made. shall be fixed by a com- mission composed of the minister of finance, the presidents of the finance com mittees of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. and the "Chambre Syndicate des Agents de Change"-the directing committee of the stock brokers associa- tion.

THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE
By MRS. SAM uEL w. JOHN

Being listless and idle one day, seek ing for entertainment, I picked up The Age-Herald. Alabama's big conservative paper to read the news from all parts of the globe. In big headlines I saw:
 "The Work of the Legislature
 Scratching my poor, stupid pate to re- vive the thought, I saw further on, 'The Alabama Legislature Immediately ] said: Why. l should know the meaning of those words, that is, l did 20oo years ago.
 I consulted all of the dictionaries, but never did find anything leading up to Alabama legislature Alas, poor mel My ignorance must be appalling Wadirg up and down column after column of the paper, I read of the bills to be introduced One bill to pass the houses must be made less drastic. l spent days trying to find out what became of that bill. but never could. After years [ picked up the paper to See, The com mittees must have recess for 100 days. I exclaimed.
 Dropping to sleep from weariness of brain over puzzling about these com mittees being at work hundred years previous on the states affairs and were composed of pupils of Plato and Socrates, saying: "Get up, join us to enighten those children that compose the legisla- ture as to the proper government Of the state The whole country is worn out with those quarrelsome infants; they are 20Oo years old ana yet have not

 Hundreds of such letters expressing gratitude for the good Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has accom- plished are constantly being received, proving the reliability of this grand old remedy.

Such liquidation was impossible at the outbreak of the war. The closing of the bourss simply held all deals in suspence.
 great many of them were be- tween Frenchmen and subjects Of powers now at war with France, in which cases the deliveries of securities and the settlement of margins was and still is impossible. Besides, a great many investors and spectators for whom transactions were in course are at the front. Their interests will be protected by carrying over their deals on the basis of the settlement price until they are able to liquidate. As to subjects of countries at war with France. their deals must be closed out arbitrarily. If they are winners the affair is sim pie; if they are losers their brokers must pay for them. That is a penalty they incur in return for the monopoly they have in the negotiation of secur- tiles. That monopoly dates back from the creation of the Bourse Of Paris by decree of the state council as a measure to restrict speculation after the complete demoralizaton of French finances by the speculations of the
 hlSSiSSiDDi 6uDble. 11lIlefenI ueCTecS of the sate council prohibited negotia- tions of securities elsewhere than on a public market, and gave the monop- oly to 70 agents de change'-stock brokers-named by the King.
 Formed Permanent Committee
 These 70 official stock brokers formed permanent committee of eight, presided over by a "syndic." or manager, and this committee is called Chamber Syndicate des Agents de Change" they. with the approval of the minister of finance, and in accord ance with special laws passed by Par liament, decide the admission of secur- jties to the official quotations. All other securities are dealt in freely by curb" brokers. and their transac- tions are not controlled it Is impos- sible to even estimate approximately the total of the balance left unsettled the day of the closing of the bourse.
