stit,!ted a number of lawsuits i'll which
lie gained much notoriety and popularity,
although seldom technically successful.
The life of Beaumarhais was SO adj
venturous from beginning to end as to
present story of extraordinary interest
wholly apart from his services TO the
cause of American independence, but the
chief purpose Of Miss Kites memoir IS to
explain what he did that entities him to
the gratitude of the people of this conn-
try. Briefly stated, he furnished the
united Colonies with essential military
supplies costing from four TO five mill
ions of francs. Owing TO the secrecy
imposed upon him by the French Gov
crnment there was no public record of
his transactions, and when his claim for
reimbursement was presented to Con-
gress it included million francs which
the United States insisted that the
French Government had paid TO Beau
marclais in their behalf. This figures in
history as the lost million The
French ministers denied that they had
paid it, and this was recognized by Con-
eress as the fart in the final adjust
ment with the heirs Of beaumarrhais
tllirty-fve years after his death.
I'VE have been surprised" wrote NJ.
Eugene Lentilhoe in 1887, that 10 de-
scendant of Beaumarchais was invited to
represent France al the unwilling of the
Statue OF Liberty, upon the pedestal OF
which his name would not be out of place
by the side Of that of Lafayette There
can be no doubt that the memory OF
Reaumarehais deserves more honor than
has been accorded him by Americans; for
the more his life is studied the clearer it
becomes that his unwearied exertions in
behalf of the American Colonies we're M
spired by pure and noble sympathy
with their aspirations for independence.

ltugust Caron, the son of reputable
and honorable clockmaker and watch
maker who maintained shop on the rue
ST. Denis in Paris, in which the young
man after a season of youthful pranks
served all apprenticeship in his fathers
trade and distinguished himself not only
as a skilful workman but as the inventor
of an escapement for watches which the
Royal Academy of Sciences pronounced
the most perfect that had ever been pro-
duced up to that time. His achieve
ments as a matchmaker attracted the
favorable attention of Louis XIV, who
made him clerk controller Of the pantry
Of the royal household. He thus became
one of sixteen officers who served the
kings table, four at a time, changing
quarterly. His duty was to walk in
grand livery, his sword by his side, in the

which was then much in vogue, and which
he had improved by some notable mechan-

title of lieutenant general des GLASSES

the nobility. About this time he was re-

Of prevention.
The curb is located at the upper end

grade off the street, so that when the
water rushes down the gutter and
