raven m the>gardens of the Elysee
Palace has thrown the superstitious
people of Paris into a fever Of anxious
apprehension. And it has aroused much
speculation and discussion among the
Interpretations as well.
For the big grey raven is the historic
'unlucky bird of France" During the
last two centuries it has appeared
number of times either in the gardens of
the Elysee, or of the Tuileries, or of the
Trianon, and always some disaster has
speedily followed either for France or for
its ruling head.
And now the superstitious are morbidly
arrival of the raven, as they believe,
portends; while even the most enlightened
are wondering whether the curious CO.
incidences of fatality will hold good this
time as in the past.
The French superstition or belief about
tradition to support it. 1t is taken
indeed so seriously that a considerable
mass of literature treating of the ap-
pearances of the weird bird has ac-
cumulated in the National Library Of
France, the so-called Bibliothique Ma
tional, and for more than century a
careful record has been kept there of
each of its visits and the subsequent hap
penings to the nation.
The first record goes as far back as
1885, when the raven suddenly showed it
self to the Inflated Queen Marie Antoin-
cite in the gardens of the Petit Trianon
while she was drinking cup of milk. But
even before that the legend of the bird
must have existed, because it is recorded
that at sight of it the Queen was so file
with terror that she tainted.
Il was not long after this that the
FrencS mobS were tramping through the
Royal Palace at Versailles and threatening
Marie Antoinette and her children. I
Curiously enough the writer's of the
time did not 60 into the previo1s history
of tie raven. They seemed to take il for
granted that everyone knew the legend.
The appearance of the bird before Mari"
Antoinette is told by one of the con-
temroraneous chronicleTs as follows:
"The Queen went to her beloved farm
of Petit Trianon to endeavor to forget for
time the anxieties and terrors that beset
her. As Marie Antoinette slipped .er
mix she hear a croaking, oddly
nialignant and fsturbing T. e Queen
ai3ed her eyes and saw on The. limb
~ a tree, regarding her with evil eyes
gs1tl open, menacins beak, a great grey
r1""n. Then the Queen cried out and
pgiu cd and all those with her were
sg ast, knowing the evil reputation o. This
It.-omened bird, but none dared to cast
stone; at the raven or iniure it, and after
q TINE it few away. But it was seen
many times about the gardens until after
noth King and Queen were executed.
n ei FOR a time 1t was seen no more.'
TIC next appearance Of the raven is re-
CO.. e a as occurring in 1910. At THAT time

cfl lcsa Josephine ana had taken as his

On, the day before the shocking death
Of President Felix Faure in the house of
the notorious Nine. Steinheil and the SUBJ
sequens scandal that shook the very
foundations Of official France, the grey
raven was seen in the gardens Of the
Eiysee. .a- - u Il ;.t .s.@
And It or similar bird had visited the
Elysee Palace on the day before the
assassination of President Sadi-C -Carnot at
Lyons. So firmly by row had the super
stition been fixed that Mime. Sadi-C Carnot,
usually one of the most sensible of
women, was fully prepared for the news
Of the tragedy when at last il came.
1T Is no SURPRISE" she said, simply.
"The raven had warned me r. II. +. , -
1t can be readily understood, therefore,
what superstitious alarm was created In,
Paris, when the grey raven appeared again
at the Elysee. It perched upon syca-
more tree, where II was first observed by
an aged gardener who, by another curious
circumstance, happened to be one of those
who had seen II, or the similar raven,
which had appeared In those gardens Just
before the sudden death Of Faure.
There enters into Il the question Of the
age Of the grey raven. IL Il be one and
the same bird whose appearances has so
oddly coincided with national tragedies, It
must be more than 150 years old. The

To the Editor-We observe an
article in the Journal ON the paw
ing OF 17th street which needs ex-
plantation as 1t Ii misleading Mr.
S. the author says the people are
equally divided between those for
and against with those not sign
ing either holding the balance Of
power. There are two nonsigners-
The one an elderly German lady
who is opposed to signing any
thing but is extremely anxious
for the paving. The other a non
resident lady with whereabouts
unknown.
Now let US see. Over half OF
the frontage represented on the
remonstrance was signed by par
ties who never owned foot of
land on 18th street until after
the petition had been circulated
and set in motion before the coun-
Gil when they make their appear
ance. We know who Is at the
bottom of this. They have lost
their grip and changed their tao
tics. Yes they got few Of our
petitioners by hocus pocus schemes
one Of which was to grade and
gravel which they know cannot
| be done on twelve foot width
with posts occupying 5 feet of this
space and the S. P. refuses to
move their posts and to put in a
curb and gravel would cost as
much as paving and be useless.
This is but one of the schemes
Anyway they failed to get a ma
jority an dnow they try to create
sentiment with the council and
get them to go back on their rec
ord. Blow in $25 of the peoples
money for advertising and estab-
lish a precedent so that in the
future if anything Is wanted by
the corporations or not wanted
in a certain locality they can bring
in a few remonstrants and carry
their point regardless of a ma
jority but we have a very judi
cial council and the best laid
plans of mice and men gang.
