By CHARLES HENRY MELTZER.
PARIS, May 3.—Tho art critic.*'
have admitted to a private view of
the new Salon of the Societe dea Ar
tistes Francais. So far at least as
the pictures are concerned the ex
hibition is in many ways inferior to
the rival show of the Societe Na
tional, next door. It is inferior not
only in its general character, but also
as to technical achievement. The
sculpture, on the other hand, as usual,
n* of genuine interest, for French
sculptors of the day are still imagi
native.
All told more than 4,000 works are
shown. They fill the corridors and
garden besides more than forty rooms.
Unlike their rivals, the painters rep
resented have endeavored to perpet
uate the fast-dying taste of French
men lor the historic and the alle
goric styles. Their efforts* are. how
ever, not triumphant nor are the dec
orative works on view of special
merit:
Sp'endid Portraits.
In the fields of genre landscape and
portrait painting the exhibits are more
happy.
The largest anel most pretentious
picture Is by Rochegrosse. an ex
tremely bold and flamboyant attempt'
to suggest the destruction of ‘'Per-
f^epolis."
The most .attractive is perhaps our
own Richard Miller’s "Wonfcin wit
the Red Hair." seated before a mLi-
Kor which is as delightful in a very
similar way as .the "Beforeflip Per
form fnce” of Frieseke in the adjoin
ing salon.
The most important work displayed
is, in my judgment, the “Dregs of
London." of the late Robert Mac-
Camepon. showing four sad old men
and a tired woman with a Madonna
face pitting on a somber night on the
Thames Embankment.
Ampng the portraits is one of "Mrs.
Kahn," by Francois Flameng. It is
not flattering, and the model seems
too obviously posed.
The poiUr.tibs of tw o g^ntl* men by
Baschet; of‘Vardtnrv’ Merry Del Uul.”
by Laparra: of ‘'Princess Marie C!o-
tilde," bj Brouillet: of “Prince of
Wales," by Cope, with another of a
lady .unnami 1 and her bull pup, by
Leon Comerre, will find admirers
By'far the finest portrait in the
salon is that of a rather faded but
still charming lady by Roybet.
Land on Parker contributes a dar
ing and effective nude study of a
womaji with brone hair, reclining on
a couch, which he calls “Idleness.” * It
would shock Chicago Miss Copeland
is represented bv an agreeable com
position .entitled "Gold Fis'h;” Mar
tin Borgord sends a “Dutch Land
scape;” Louis Aston Knight does
rather well with a picture,. "XJ ld Mill,"
while pleasing works of various styles
are shown by Yves Muller, by Char-
pen tier and Bewley.
Some Other Features.
The Egyptian souvenirs of Clairim
like the •Wrecker.'*. ’ by Boutignv. are
survivals of romanticism. Vast!
more impressive, and Quito different,
is the bright “Beach at Biarritz," of
Dupuy, with its crowds of happy chil
dren bathed in snnlrght.
The purely decorative pictures in
clude a restful triptych, ‘Plains of
Gascony:” by Calve: the "Fructidor"
and TMessidor,” of Gervais. One of
the moh beautiful genre exhibits is
an exquisitely painted “Lady Admir
ing Herself in a Hand Mirror," of
Leon Glaize.
Of many admirable sculpture ex
hibits I may mention the heroic “Vic
tor Hugo," of Jean Boucher, hewn out
of*grfcnitc; a bronze “Dancing Faun,"
by Moulin; a charming "Peasant Girl
Caressing a Calf." by Gregofre; the
"Franklin," of Bartlett; the "Dead
Lion of Dresca,” a “Hero,” of La
Monaca; the’too chaste "Bacchante,"
of Antoine; a‘ lovely “Woman and
Butterfly,” by Battaille; a monumen
tal “Murat Rilau," showing Xapo-
lean's marshal charging at the head
of his hussars, and the allegorical
“Aviation." of Michel.
Many of the works Caown by gcuip-
tots Would distress our Puritans, lnr
they are very nude and very una

LONDON. May 3.—Many curious
stories oil being told regarding the
attempti'd assassination of the King
of Spain. When the nows of the
fnurder of the King of Greece was
conveyed to King Alfonso, the latter
quietly remarked that he was not in
the least surprised, and that in all
probability he would be the next mon
arch to meet his death in similar
fashion. He wa* then counselled to
ride abroad only when attended by
a strong escort. His reply was thor
oughly characteristic. “If I am not
to be allowed to go about as I choose "
he said, “then I don’t mind how soon
my end comes." Those who stayed
at Eaton Hall when the King of
Spain was there sumo little time
back recall that he then declared that
he had r»o intention of dying in his
bed, and that whenever the end came.
It would come very suddenly. King
Alfonso ib a fatalist and makes no
secret Qf the fact.

Fine Silk Kimono
Bought By Loubet
Ex-President Of France Bids In
Embroidered Gown at
Auction.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 3.—M. Loubet, the
former President of the Republic, Is
now the owner of a Japanese kimono.
What he intends to do with’it is still
a aecret. A few days ago there was
an auction at the Hotel Drouot of va-
tious odds aud ends of Oriental curios.
Among the things held up by the
auctioneer was a handsome Japanese
kimono covered with beautiful em
broideries, representing strange ani
mals, in a variety of colors.
The kimono was* at once hotly dis
puted. From $10.00 the bids rose
up to $00.00 and more. “One hundred
and fifty,” said a quiet voice in the
corner. The auctioneer looked round
to see who made the bid. It was the
former President, M. Loubet, who had
edged his way in behind the crowd
and seemed a little confused at the
excitement he caused.
There were no further bids, and
slowly, after the auctioneer had re
peated three times the sacred formula.
the hammer went down. M. Loubet
whs awarded the kimono. He smil
ingly thanked the other would-be
purchasers for having left the kimono
to him without further competition.
When he saw the garment at his
leisure he admired its beauty, and
went away quite delighted.
Married 3 Times:

Englishman Thinking of Another

Special Cabie to The American.
LONDON, May 3.—A man who
has been married three times, has had
34 children and still hopes to mar
ry again, has.just been discovered in
York.
This wonderful husband and fa
ther is William Bonnett, aged 65, who
has worked as a ganger in various
parts of England for over 40 years.
His marital adventures are as fol
lows :
First Marriage Hcpsy Suderby
who died in 1372; four children, two
living.
Second* Marriage 1873; Caroline
Tuck; died about 1800; -6 children,
including triplets and twine (the lat

children living.
Third Marriage -J.899; Liza Page,
who died in 1908; four children, two
living.
This, in brief, Is the record of Bon
nett’b family.
I can not think of the names of my
children that died." said Bonnett
Within a year my wife Caroline had
five children- triplets and twins. We
got the Queen’s bounty of $13. All
these five children died, however.
“Pve seen many funerals in my
time—just 27, to be exact—in my own

LONDON, May 3.-—Princess Mary,
the King's only daughter, wiio has
just turned sixteen, is exciting more
than th;* usual amount of court gos
sip because of her decided announce
ment that she wishes to learn type
writing end shorthand. She has iong
nur.-cd the ambition and has been Hu
mored in it by her father, the King,
who on occasions dictates his private
letters to her.
Princess Mary is rapidly becoming
a popular idol. She is one of the most
unaffected girls in the land. She is
pretty and charming, not quite so old
as her year*?. The whole tendency of
her education, which is controlled by
the Queen, has been to preserve her
youth. The Queen believes firmly in
homo training for her daughter, so
the Princess has never been at school.
She can mend her brothers’ socks,
bake dainties for their tea. and, wftb
equal enthusiasm, she swims, tides,
drives, dances, cycles, golfs and plays
hookey.
Princess Mary is a born horse
woman, and has been familiar with
the saddle from ncr very early years
She frequently rides with the King in
Rotten Rpw in the early morning.
Her great ambition during King
Edward's lifetime was to drive a
motor car. She begged her grand
father ro allow her to drive one of bin
in Windsor Forest.
“Certainly,” was his smiling reply;
“only you must wait a bit until w«
have time to clear the trees away.”
Princess Mary is said to be the
most determined Indy in the royal
household. Her Royal Highness, is
forming her own circle of friends
and her own manner of life.
. The one point of dispute between
her and tue Queen is her hair. Prin
cess Mary dislikes to have to falling
about. Th* Queen will not allow it
up. Now a compromise has been
made. Princqss Mary usually ties it
back in a small thick plait doubled
,up at the neck tvtyh a ribbon.
| The King is mm.-ed at his daugh
ter's strong will, which seems likely
! to overrule even that of the Queen’s.

George of England Will Not

Other Courts.
ROYAL MARRIAGES PLANNED
Princess Mary Not Allowed to
Take Much Outdoor Exercise
by the Queen.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 3.—I have very re
liable information that King George
has formally notified the various
courts of Europe that he intends to
give up the old international custom
that requires a king to make a series
of State visits to the various courts
of Europe as soon as possible after
his coronation and the excuse given
is that this custom is nothing but
an empty formality, which does not
repay the enormous expenses it im
poses- upon visitors as well as hosts.
Of course, everybody who knows
how England, far more than any con
tinental country, absolutely regard
less of expense upholds solemnly all
kinds of mediaeval ceremonies, will
hardly understand this explanation.
It will surprise no one if King
George gives very little thought to
matrimonial plans for his nearest
relatives. The question ol' finding
suitable mates for his own children
he leaves entirely to Queen Mary
while Queen Alexandra will look af
ter the folmv of those who an- near
er related by blood to her than to
the present Queen. A.s I cabled last
week Queen Alexandra has entirely
given in to Queen Mary's favorite
plan of a marriage between the
Prince of Wales ar.d the oldest daugh
ter of the Czar, to which she object
ed so strongly it first.
Two Granddaughter*.
At.present her activities are Cen
tered about her two granddaughters
the Duchess of Fife and Princess
Maude. U is practically settled by her
that the- termer is to be Crown Prin
cess of Greece, but as this young
lady is a very obstinate young lady
full of romantic ideas of marrying
cnly for love, sha may yet upset royal
grRhdnmther’s pl/irs unless she hap
pens 40 fail in love with the young
Crown Prince of the Hellenes, who
is a very handsome and charming
young fellow.
Whom Queen Alexandra has in
view as the prospective husband of
Princess Maud" is still a mystery,
though it is whispered that she thinks
that either Prince Axel or Print*-.
A age, sons of her youngest brother
Prince Voldemar or Denmark, and the
late Princess Marie of Orleans, would
make an ideal husband for the young
English Princess.
J$s soon as ue- daughters have
twn provided for matrimonially the
Princess Royal will retire absolutely
from social life and stay with Queen
Alexandra residing most of the Cm*
"n the Queen’s charming "Villa Hvl-
dre” on ilie (Danish Sound.
Princess Rides r-iorge.
Print-' ^ Mary may now m sf* n
almost every mjrning in Rotten Row
with her father King George, and titl
ing a rather spirited horse besides
which the peaceful nag of her father
looks like the 1’aVorite mount of an
elderly qountry, physician. While the
King’s, face always wears a rathei
strained expression Princess Mary
handles Tier capricious mount with
perfect calm and promises to become
an excellent equestrienne Her only
sorrows are first that her father will
not allow her to canter at full speed
and second that her mother sternly
refused to let her ride astride al
though Princess Mary asserted tha.
this was the only natural and safe
way. Although horror stricken with
her daughter's idea the Queen had t*>
admit that riding astride naturally
must be safer she cdtUd not possibly
consent 10 give the lookers on on thV
chairs along Rotten Row ocular proof
that her daughter was an ordinary
kiped.
Riding is. however, the only out
door exercise Princes* Mary indulges
in. She rides a wheel occasionally,
and would ride it with considerable
more enthusiasm, if she were allow
ed to use It like other English girls
but to pedal continually inside the
private Royal Parka and garden walks
she considers entirely too tame. Golf
she cons idem silly, and she nut
quick enough on her feet to play ten
nis, but occasionally she plays a
gam* or two of. croquet.

LONDON, May 3.—When Egertan

and his wife were accused of the.ft at
the London Sessions. Mr. Allen Law-
rie said the woman must be acquit -
l <•(!.
"When a married woman commit
ted a felony in the presence of her
husband,” he remarked, “she is as
sumed to be under his coercion, an},
not being responsible, is entitled to
acquittal. Little is heard nowadays
of this provision in English law in fa
vor of women. It does not form thv
subject of conversation at certain
meetings which have become preva
lent of late."
“Philbrick’s wife is worse than he
is, for she has six convictions to his
three," said Detective Sergeant Red-
cliffe.
"That may be,” said Mr. Law-rie,
"but she is not worse in the eyes of
the law. It may be altered in the
days of equal rights."
Philbrick was given 21 months’ hard

GEORGE DUFRESNE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 3.—While the subjects
of the Kaiser are opposing their im
perial Lord and master’s enormously
expensiv? military and naval schemes
which arc apt to prove the last straw
to break the camel's back, France
has responded to the Government’s
appeal for the reintroduction of the
three years’ compulsory military ser
vice. The rush of young men eager
to devote three whole years of their
life to the service of their country
has exceeded even the most sanguine
expectations.
In particular, there has been a
great rush of volunteers In the North
and West of France. The result Is
that two army corps, the first a* Lille,
and the tenth at Rennes, cannot ac
cept any more men for the infantry
regiments.
The other arm:* corps, the second
at Amiens and the third at Rouen,
are almost in the same condition; the
majority of their regiments are com-
Piet,*. There are similar reports con
cerning the Paris regiments; the in
fantry; *-h€ cavalry, artillery, and en
gineers legiments are full up. and
no more volunteer* can be received.
Volunteer Privileges.
According to standing military reg
ulations. recruits liable to be called
to .serve In any year have, if 'hey
enlist as volunteers, a certain num
ber of privileges, among others tha
T believe, of the extra pay of volun
teers. a.s well us other advantages.
Ever :-inie the Government an
nounced its intention of re-establish
ing the three years’ service trie re
cruiting stations have been overrun
by young men liable to service this
year who offered to enlist at once
and the majority of these volunteer*
are students.
The number so enlisted seems to
run into tens of : housands and it was
pointed rc as evidence of a remark
able enthusiasm on their part. The
military authoritie now declare they
can receive no more applications in
many of the rec mUing stations. All
the regimer.lM are now complete
The military governor of Pari*?
stares that he can accept no furthe’
voluntary enlistments, either in the
infantry, cavalry, artillery, or engi
neering corps. The ranks are full,
and th<- maximum has already been
reached.
This f ate of things constitutes an
eloquent reply to the Socialists who
ore opposing the Government propos
als tooth and nai. It shows thn‘
any influence they may exert will
hav" small effect in the country as n
whole. Frenchmen In the mass, and
particularly the young men who have
to put In their military service, are
anxious that the country shall give ,i
fitting reply to I he efforts made on
the other side of the Rhine f >r in
creasing armam-n's. The reincar
nation, as Dr. von Bethmann-Holweg
called It, of the military spirit In
France is no myth, but a stern real
ity.
Moreau Invention.
Coming so shortly arter the Zep
pelin’s involuntary landing in the
very midst of French troops it is ex
ceedingly gratifying to the French
military authorities that the French!
airman M. Moreau after a number*
•f secret experiments near Melun has j
perfected an invention which makes i
the stability of aeroplanes quite au
tomatic even under the most difficult I
conditions. A patriotic millionaire j
immediately sent him a check for.
$10,000 to continue his experiments. 1
whilo he has heretofore been obliged
to work ahead without any other fi
nancial resources than his own slen
der savings as a "ompositor.
He is jealously guarding the de
tails of his invention for which he
knows the Government, after thor
oughly testing if. will pay him what
to him will be a fortune.
China May Adopt

Parliamentarians Find Difficulty in

Special Cable to The American.
HONGKONG, May 3. -It will be in
teresting to see how the new Chinese
Parliament grapples with the lan
guage difficulty. The committee ap
pointed in 1906, uhder the presidency
of Prince Thing, to report on the best
means of introducing parliamentary
institutions into China, found that
one great obstacle to the successful
working would be the difficulty "f
finding a common tongue.
The Chinese have so many dialer s
that delegates not of the mandarin
class gathered from all parts of the
country would And it impossible to
carry on debates. It was held that if
a Parliament were established t
w’ould be necessary to draw up a new
grammar and vocabulary for the use
of its members. Commenting >n
this, the Japanese review, “Keizai. ’
suggested that pidgin-English, which
the progress of railway construction
has spread over a wider area than
any other dialect in China, might per
haps serve the desired purpose.

BERLIN. May 3.—-With tic wed
ding of the Kaiser’s daughtci only
three weeks off everything is bust
ling within the imperial castle. The
young princess herself is getting he*
last lessons in the culinary an from
a famous French chef, and when her
time is not taken up with cooking,
she gets lessons in domestic economy,
bookkeeping and the management of
servants from the Kaiserin person
ally. The princess’ first establish
ment in a comparatively small garri
son town will be on a rather small
scale and her associates will prin
cipally consist of the wives of her
husband's brother officers, and her so
cial success will largely depend on
her own ability to manage her* home
as she will have very few servants.
But she is determined that the
small dinner parties unu supp< rs to
which she will have to invite her
husband’s friends and their wives
shall be able to pass the criticism
to which they will be exposed. There
is absolutely no snobbery among
German officers and no mercy will b«-
shov.n the wife of a junior officer
because she happens to be the Kais
er's daughter. So she will haw
every reason to congratulate herself
on the sensible education she ha,* re
ceived from her mother.
A certain part of each day is set
aside for the shopping, for the Prin
cess herself selects and buys every
article of her trousseau that is to be
bought In Berlin. She is very often
accompanied on her shopping expedi
tions by Crown Princess Cecile anil
the latter’s factotum and bosom
friend, Miss Geraldine Farrar.
It speaks well for the tact of th-
Berliners that although there is not
one among the hopping crowd who
does not know their favorite Prin
ress Victoria Louise, nobody for a
moment thinks of running after her
to see what she buys, as the women
of most countries would do. And she
is permitted to .;o her shopping at
Wertheim’s or any of the other large
stores as undisturbed as if she were
a mere jiobody.
The Kaiserin was very much im
pressed by an article in a Berm
paper by the author Karin Michac lix
Stangeland on the subject of the
trousseaus of princesses in which s .in
stated that it was certainly the dut>
< t royalty to support the Industry of
real hand-made lace, and not a single
Inch of the maenine article will be
used in Princess Victoria Louise'*

All the evening gowns of the prin
cess as well as her wedding gown
will come from Paris
The guests at the wedding will be
a very Imposing crowd. The Kit:*
and Queen of England have alreaxi
announced their coming. The Caau-
and Czarina have almost promised 1 •
come, and beside we shall see th
King and Queen of Italy, the heir ap
parent of Austria, the King and con
port of Denmark, and possibly tb
