the subject than the senate, promptly determined
to make it far more sweeping in its incusiveness.

So far as a blind who still can think, can

FRENCH BILL WOULD
SIMPLIFY MARRIAGE

PARIS. June 7.-Young men and
women of France will be able to
marry with as much freedom and
absence of red tape as those OF
America, IL bill just introduced
in the chamber of deputies becomes
law.
The measure removes the necessity
of parental consent after the age Of
81. Such a departure strikes at the
very vitals of French custom, which
makes the parents the arbiters OF
the daughters matrimonial fate. At
present a French woman cannot
marry until after she is 30 years old
without the consent of her parents.
There is no Gretna Green or Lit
tie Church Around the Corner" in
all France.
One of the most surprising fea-
lures in connection with the new bill
is the fact that it is sponsored by a
priest. a deputy from the Nord de-
partment. His action in sponsoring
the bill astonished the conserva-
tives.
Introduction of the bill is step
in the campaign to simplify and
encourage marriages, and to dis
pense with the dowry custom which
now prevails throughout France.

Monticello Fee System.
! Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Much has been written lately about
the management of Mount Vernon
why q fee should be charged, and
why the place should be open to the
4 merican public, free of charge.
II is not the purpose of the writer
to GO into this subject at all. other
than to say that he believes Mount
Vernon as a shrine of public worship
should be free of all charges to the
public that worship there.
On Memorial day the writer and
a party of friends visited "Monti-
cello" the home of Thomas Jeffer-
son. This estate is situated on the
very top of a mountain, 20 miles
ride out of Charlottesville, Abe

The very ungracious caretaker OF
this wonderful place acted as IL he
begrudged every minute spent ir

where he condescended to say abou,
two dozen words of explanation,
This is Thomas Jefferson's violin
stand, this is his bookcase, these

After saying these few words he
retired through an inner door, for.
bidding us any other part Of the
house. We saw nothing but that re-
ception hall at the front door; heard
nothing in explanatory remarks ex.
cept the words quoted above.
when we again saw the caretaker
or whatever he is, one of the ladies
remarked that II was a shame the
way the place was conducted and
the way visitors were robbed. add
ing the government ought to take
control of and run the place be.

NEW YORK, June Down nea!,
Long Beach on the Merrirk road the
Pavilion Royal has opened-per-
haps the finest restaurant New
York has ever seen. 1t is located
on the fine old estate of NJ. de Lus-
sac, refugee of the French cha
teau. Les Grotteaux of the 18th Gen.
tury.
Back of this restaurant is a news
paperman's idea. Five or six years
ago Gil Boag was a reporter on a
New York newspaper and a miGbcy
good one, too. He is just past 81
and today he is half owner in the
Palais Royal. the Little Club, the
MontemaTtre, Moulin Rouge and
the new Pavilion Royal
The records show that very few
newspapermen have ventured into
the restaurant business. Most OF
them become fiction writer's, mag
azine editors, scenario writers and
playwrights. Most of Bosg,s res
taurant ventures have been since
prohibition, when New York de.
clared that the high class cafe was
dead. Boag is proving that people
still go out to eat IL you make the
safe attractive enough.
The opening night of the Pavil.
lon was like Caruso night at the

designed like a great tent and il
open to breezes on all four sides
1t has seating capacity for 1,ooo
The canopy or ceiling Is of gray

On Monday Mayor Thompson, whose rule has
long dsgraced Chicago, met his first defeat. His
machine, claimed to be invincible, smashed.
The occasion the election of district judges.
He had control of everything except the courts.
He wanted that. Not one of his candidates was
elected
His ticket opposed by every newspaper
in the city. But that has been true before. What
really defeated him was aroused citizenship,
that ceased to be too fazy, too complacent to go
to the polls. No great evil can persist in any
city where all the people vote. Evil depends for
its license to exist on those who condemn it,
but who do not vote 1t is this, alone than has
left Chicago in the grip of its discreditcd forces.
On Monday Mayor Thompson lost his own
ward by majority of 1900; he lost 80 of the 35
wards 1t is proved that he be defeated.
Unless there is another slump in the opposition,
or he is able to divide it by injecting personal
ambitions, his rule is doomed. But one swallow
