Louis Philippe and Wife.

Louis Philippe Q773-1S5O) was the
eldest son of Duke Louis of Or
leans. He supported the French rev.
olution, but was suspected of aiming
at the crown and was compelled to
leave France in 1893. He did not re-
turn until after the fall of Napoleon
in 1915, having spent the intervening
time in Austria, America and Great
Britain. After the revolution Of 1881
and the abdication of Charles x, he
was elected liking Of the French by
the grace of God and the will Of the
people," He held this office until 104S,
when another revolution occurred, and
he retired to England, where he and
his wife-arriving as 'Mr. and Mrs.
Smith"-settled in Claremont, placed
at their disposal by Queen Victoria,
under the incognito Of Count and
Countess of Neuilly. Louis Philippe
died at Claremont August 26, 1850.

B0ARS MUST GO
French Government DEGREES
Their determination.
Lovers of the Chase Will Regret the
Passing of Animal that Furnished
Good Sport

British soldiers may regret the fact,
remarks an editorial writer in the
Manchester Guardian, that the French
government has declared war to the
death against the wild boar q.
out the determination will be a lively
process.
The British soldiers piquant sense
OF the foreignness of France was re-
newed when he marched through
Amiens about Christmas time and saw
newly killed wild boar hanging by
the haels outside butchers shop, with
all his dark bristles still on him." says
the Guardian.
Half the French country houses in
which our stats lived had on their
walls one or more heads of wild bears
Killed by the men of the family i'm the
splendid forests of Crecy or Hesdin,
where British officers out riding in leis-
ure hours would often see a mighty
SOW cross glade or scamper along
outside the fringe of the forest, at
tended by her litter of fast-trotting
stockings.
The noble savage is now to be
hunted, shot, trapped and assailed with
every form of frightfulness till he goes
the way of the bear, and draws back his
western OutpoSts into the Black forest
anu some of the other great forests of
Germany, Austria and Russia, where he
is still much valued as a beast Of ven
cry. AT any rate, he has held his
ground in western central Europe
longer than the bear, who dares not
show his nose out of the western edge
of the thick forests of pine and scrub
in the lower Engadine, near Zernetz
The bear, too, had bad time during
his last efforts to subsist further west.
One of the last certified appearances of
the bear in the canton of Berne-ex-
cept in the celebrated bear-pit of its
principal town-was in 1892, when q
redoubtable specimen settled at the
Little Scheidegg. now beloved of
tourists, near GrindelwaId, and aban-
oning the seemly vegetarian habits of
his race, ate any sheep he could catch
on either slope of the pass.
HE seems to have set UP a reign of
terror comparable to that of the ia.
nous Great Dog of Ennerdals in our
lake district, but he was at last slain
in single combat by a Grindelwald
youth, whom he endeavOred to embrace
and who broke his skull with the butt
end of a musket, after partly filling
him with lead. The victor i'm this gentle
and joyous passage of arms was given
20 francs by grateful canton. Money
used TO go further then.
"Our last English wild boar was
probably dead before the Eighteenth
century was born, though the family
may have hung on rather longer in
out-Of-the-way parts of the Highlands,
now happy in possessing likewise the
only British specimens of the wildcat
Evidently the wild boar, while he
lasted, was very much In peoples
minds. Witness the names of the
taverns, Falstaff's and others. and also
his place of honor as one of the four
heraldic beasts of the class and as the
crest of Richard III. He seems to have
preceded the turkey as the staple thing
to eat on Christmas day. and trace
of this greatness survives in the Gus
tom of serving up q bOar's head at
dinner on Christmas day in the hall
of Queens college, Oxford

An Eskimo Opera.

Copenhagen opera goers recently
have witnessed the production of an
Eskimo opera, "Kaddars." Hakon
Boerresen, the composer, has based
his score on the few vestiges of an
cient song which the Greenlanders
posses. A group of Eskimo travelled
to Denmark to assist in preparing the
stage pictures. and to appear in mi
nor roles. They carried with them
a large collection Of native costumes.
Mention Of an opera with Greenland's
icy mountains as background natural
ly cOnnotes India as a scene for stage
entertainment One would not be
greatly surprised to learn that the
next Drury Lane melOdrama is to have
Tibet for scene, now that the Mount
Everest expedition is so much in the
public eye.

CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE HITS
ANTl.SAlOON METHODS
Reformers Condemn Choice Of Dry
Aoents From Criminal Glasses

Baltimore. April 14.-(By A. P.)-
Activities of the National Civil Service
Reform League in combating appoint =
ment of ''lo0se and Inefficient proht.
bition enforcement agents are reviewed
in the report of the council OF the
league read at the annual meeting here
today.
Riterating charges that the enforce
ment personnel included many dishon .
est men and women, some with criminal
records, the report urges support of a
hill before Congress requiring that all
dry agents be placed under civil serv-
ice regulation and subjected to the GUS
tomary examinations. 1t also takes
sharp issue with provisions in the meas
ure insisted upon by the Anti Saloon
League which would permit appoint
ment OF persons without previous OK
perience in criminal investigation.
The anti saloon organization, the
report alleges, prefers to let these
places continue as political spolls rather
than agree to the normal method of
providing for their competitive classi q.
flcation under the civil service law.
Until the latter method Is undertaken,
il continues. the enforcement OF the
prohibition law will not be freed from
the odum in which it Is now held.
The leagues long opposition to the
system Of appointing postmasters
(which retains in Office permanently
or until removed on Charges purely
political appointees, IL set forth in
the report. which proposes an open
competitive examination for such in
cumbents in order TO continue in office.
These views, the report asserts, have
been concurred in by the President and
the attorney general.
Commenting on the federal civil serv-
ice provision giving absolute prefer
-nce to soldiers and sailors and wild
ows OF former service men, the re-
port asserts:
"As time goes on the manifest un
fairness OF veteran preference is be
coming more and more apparent TO the
members Of Congress. The effects in the
efficiency OF the service will be care.

dcncc secured will be placed before

annual meeting Of the New Jersey and
Pennsylvania Gas Association.
Mr.. Carraway was unable to attend
the meeting on account Of illness, but
his paper was read by II. II. Ganscr,

ness is what counts in publicity" wrote
Mr.. Carraway. 1T Is far better 10

George Wilder Cartwright, former

Richard Srillane, Of the Public

subject of publicity. He predicted a
great change for the better in the public
utility companies. which had not 'given
the public the best that was in them. -
He urged the utility companies to take
