CHARLOTTE BRONTE.

Charlotte Bronte, famous as the au-
thor of "Jane Eyre" died sixty-two
years ago to-day, March 81, 1855, in
her thirty-ninth year. She was then
bride of less than year, having
been married in the previous June to
Rev. Mr. Nichols, her fathers curate.
It was in 1852 that Miss Bronte was
surprised by a declaration of love from
the ,curate. She was then to all SEEM
ing a confirmed spinster, a literary
celebrity to whom fame and fortune
and love all come too late, since she
had wrecked her health in her years
of toilsome service as teacher and gov
erness and in looking after her father,
Rev. Patrick Bronte, and her sisters.
The curate's affection, the slow and
silent growth of years, deep, ardent
and tender, was returned by Miss
Bronte, but the selfish old clergyman
objected to the match, and his daugh-
curate's offer. The latter resigned
his post and went away broken heart
ed but after time the father relent-
ed, Mr.. Nichols resumed the curacy,
and the marriage was performed in
June, 1854. The newly married pair
lived at the parsonage, and the bride
continued to comfort and care for her
father The few months that follow
ed were - happiest of her life, but
the cup of joy was soon snatched from
her lips by death.

AMERICAN VERSUS

Gen. Frederick Stanley Maude, the
leader of the British Mesopotamlan
expedition and the hero Of Bagdad, is
the son Of a soldier, his father having
been Gen. Sir Frederick Maude, a
Victoria Cross man. He is in his fifty
third year, and has been in the SER
vice for thirty three years. After
leaving Elton he received a military
education at Sanhurst, and entered
the army when he was twenty years
old. Within year he was the recip-
lent of a medal for valor displayed
in the Soudan campaign, in which he
took part in the battle Of Hasheen
and the destruction of Tamai.N He
held the rank Of major when the war
broke out in South Africa. In that
conflict heN won the D. S. O. and
other lhonors, taking part in the ad-
vance on Kimberly ana various oper-
atoms in the Transvaal, the Orange
Free State and Cape Colony. After
the South African war he spent sew
eral years in Ottawa as military Sec

hope Of gaining, a seat in the House
Of Lords seemed futile until the war

he had a princely income, and he con-
tributed lavishly ana unstintedly to
various war charities and organiza-

"POISSONs d'AVRL."


This Sunday marks the annual fes-
tival devoted to the poisson d'Avril, =
which is the polite French term for
the Scotch term a gowk In view
not strange that this festival has long
enjoyed general popularity. In
France the poisson d'AvriP' has been
the victim of the practical joker for
many centuries. but in England anu
Scotland the custom of thus observing
the first Of April seems to have been
introduced in the seventeenth cen
fury. It is perhaps only a coinci-
dence that the Hindoos, in their an
cient Hull, terminating on the last
day Of March, have festival very
similar in its observance. For many
centuries the Hindoos have made the
Hull period for the playing of prac-
teal jokes, their favorite practice be-
ing to send persons with messages to
purely imaginary individuals.
The old hat with the brick in it is
the classic Of the April festival on this
side of the Atlantic. Another old
favorite, still in vogue in country
towns, is to attach with bolts or
nails a fat purse to the wooden side
walk, while in the cities the pocket
book with a string attached, to be
pulled away by concealed small boys
at the critical moment, is still popu-
lar
An April fool joke of long ago re-
lates to Francis, Duke of Lorraine
and his better half, who were held
captives in Nantes, but effected their
escape by taking advantage of the in
credulity prevalent on the first day OF
April. Disguised as peasants, the one
bearing hod on his shoulder, the
other carrying basket Of rubbish al
her back, they both at an early hour
Of the day passed through the gates
of the city. A woman, having a
knowledge Of their persons, ran to the
guard to give notice to the sentry
a priI fool!' cried the soldier; and all
the guard, to a man. shouted out
April fool!' beginning with the SER
geant in charge of the post. The
governor, to whom the story was told
as a jest, conceived some suspicion
and ordered the fact to be proved; but
it was too late. for in the meantime
the duke and his wife were well on
their way. The first Of April saved
them" f
The fact that All Fools Day falls
this year on Sunday is reminiscent
of the old observance of the Feast OF
the Ass, an ancient prototype. Of the
modern observance. This feast be-
gan with a procession led by beau
tiful girl holding baby in her arms
and mounted on an ass. After pro-
ceeding through the principal streets
the ass with it's burden was taken
into church, and placed near the altar
During the religious services, which
commemorated the fight Of the holy
family into Egypt, the choir and the
audience frequently broke out into
loud braying, and the priest prayed
three times in benediction. After the
church services the people INDUCED
in all sorts of ridiculous pranks anc
practical jokes. Some authorities
believe that the Feast Of All Fools
had its origin in this medieval Festiva
Of the Ass.

ADMIRAL FISkE
Navy Official Not Allowed
to Deliver Scheduled
Address.

Rear Admiral Bradley A .Fiske.
U. S. NJ, retired, who spoke before
the members of the Contemporary
club at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles G. Waldo; Brooklawn park
last week on 1.-THE Navy" was unable
to deliver similar address before the
meeting of the New York Electrical
society on Thursday night. because
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels with
held his permission, it was announced
by George H. Guy, secretary Of the
society.
Representatives of the press were
not allowed at Admiral F'iske's ad-
dress in this city.
Major General Leonard Wood, who
was to have spoken of 1.-THE Army Of
the United States" also sent his re-
grets. It was explained he was busy
preparing for his transfer to his new
post as commander of the Southeast
ern Department, with headquarters at
Charleston, S. G.
Secretary Daniels, it was said, had
sent a note to Admiral Fiske, direct
ing him not to make public speeches
without special permission, and Mr..
Guy explained at some length the un-
successful effort which had been
made to arrange for his appearance
at the meeting last night.
Mry Guy said he made a personal
appeal to Secretary Daniels, who ex-
pressed sympathy at the predicament
Of the society, but said he did not feel
he could change his ruling in respect
to Admiral Fiske. Mr.. Guy left with
Daniels a copy of the speech the Ad-
miral intended to deliver, with the re-
Acf 10 I,4 hxyc
In the navy department. Mr.. Daniels
retained the speech, and said he
would look it over, Mr.. Guy said.
Daniels returned the speech, yes
terday morning, according to Mr.. Guy,
with a note saying the rule relating
to Admiral F'ske still held. Mr.. Guy
then called Washington by telephone
and told the navy department he had
read in the newspapers that Admiral
Fiske had delivered speech in this
city, Tuesday night. He was inform
ed, he declared that the address Of
Admiral Fiske, which was at meet
ing arranged by the Navy League of
the United States, had been without
the knowledge Oh permission of the
navy department, although it had
been announced that the speech had
been approved by Secretary Daniels.
Mr.. Guy said he made personal
les in this city, and found that Ad-
miral Ffske was said to have spoken
through a misunderstanding on the
part Of someone as to the meaning of
a communication from Washington,
denying him permission to speak"
In his address at the Navy League
meeting, Admiral Fiske declared
there was at least an even chance that
Germany would be victorious in the
war, and that she might be able to
dictate terms of peace which would
permit her to send her fleet to this
side Of the Atlantic.
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary last
night addressed the Electrical Society
on the Importance Of an adequate
! aerial fleet. He urged the establish
ment of separate department OF
aeronautics, Independent OF the army
and navy, in charge Of man with a
seat In the presidents cabinet. For
this post he proposed either Theodore
Roosevelt or Major General George
w. Goethals.
