Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Worlk. | Copyright, 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, Sept. 8.—‘*This isn't St. Louis or New York,’’ writes a fiery member of the Chamber of Deputies to a Paris newspaper in discussing the Sunday- Closing law. ‘“‘The whole truth of the fact is that our labor leaders have been misled by those of the new world, where conditions are entinely different from those of Paris. Now that our la- bor leaders have got what they have howled for so many years, they plainly see that the closing rule can’t be put into practice without hurting, instead of helping, the very class that they meant to protect. “As a matter of fact, all this one holiday in seven, Sunday closing of places of business, and day of rest for labor, can be traced back two years to the time that certain American labor leaders came to town and indulged ina lot of incoherent talk at the Labor Ex- change, which the excitable French temperament took as. really having some meaning. The result is, we find ourselves suddenly saddled with a law which nobody wants.’’ Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1905, by the Press Pub. Co. (New York World:) 2 LONDON, Sept. 8—The almost pre- posterous Druce claim to the title of Duke of Portland and tv the vast property left by the fifth Duke has taken a new turn. ‘The litigations are now giving considerable alarm to the _ two persons threatened—the sixth Duke and Lord Howard de Walden, grand- nephew and principal heir of the fifth Duke. There is half a billion of dol- lars at stake besides one of the most enviable ducal titles. The claimant, George Hollamby Druce, a young man born in Australia, is a grandson, duly proved, of Thomas Charles Druce, the mysterious proprie- tor of a Baker street bazar. Thomas Druce, according to the contentions of the claimart, was no other than Wil- liam John Cavendish Scott Bentinck, fifth Duke of Portland, whose notorious eccentricities. led him to maintain two identities, one as a bachelor peer to thef day of his death, the other as a shop- keeper, married and the father of the claimant's father.

He also asks the court to order an accounting of all rente received since the death of the Duke, to be paid to him in case he/ woe his legitimate descent. Of course, f Druce should prove this, he will be Duke of Portland, too. -Lard Howard de Walden owns most of the late Duke's london property, f which is still called the ‘‘Portland es- tate.”’ and is believed by most folk to helong to the present Duke—the late Duke's cousin.

The president of the Paris Chamber of Commerce says more moderately: “Labor put up a bluff to capital. Capital called that bluff. Now labor sees that it has got into hot water. It will lose far more than one-seventh of its weekly receipts. I think that hereafter we shall listen less to the siren voice of the supposed happy American laborers.” When John Mitchell, the American labor leader was here two years ago he strongly advised this campaign for Sunday closing, though he said little about it in his public speeches. Being bound to blame somebody or something for the fuss that Paris is in over Sunday closing, the French labor leader, was here two years ago to predict that the end of the agita- tion will be that each trade or pro- fession will tear the law to pieces in such a way that it will leave the situation practically the same as it was before. This week brought immense relief to the great body of Parisians through giving them a certainty that their favorite Sunday afternoon di- version of dining will not be taken away. After a number oo. stormy meetings the Syndicate, which in- cludes nearly all the principal restau- rant and cafe owners, decided that no matter what the Government says, will disregard the Sunday closing aw. The main argument has been a piece of casulstry turning on the real meaning of the word ‘‘thedbomadatre.”’ literally this would mean once a week, they say no particular day, but just one day weekly. On one day a week the law compels them to give each man they employ a holiday, but the law does not say which day this must be, nor does it say that all em- ployes must have the same day in a certain company or syndicate. The cafe syndicate seer a deg. here to giving all employes a day off each week without forcing the restaurants to close. FINES FOR WOMEN WHO WEAR TRAINS. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. BRESIAU, Prussia, Sept. 8.—One Ger- man watering place after another is posting ordinances imposing fines on women whose skirts drag. The phy- sicians in the employ of these ‘“‘cures’’ continue to publish analyses of the dust found on ladies’ trains, and the germs, becllli and poison growths discovered make a lst of portentous length. The heaviest fine imposed is $3 at SGalz- brunn, but the ordinary fine is $2.50. A certain Countess Von Malzzahn. lately made a speech in court when a fine of $12.50 was imposed on her, One of her points was that the “oure’ doctors should prosecute the wind, which sets more bacilli in motion in a minute than all the skirts of all the women In Salgbrunn.

son. It is his son who now claims to be Duke of Portland. It is alleged that the Duke had an unde und passage half a mile long from his town residence on Cavendish Square to the Baker street bazaar, by means of which he transferred himself from his shopkeeping life to his ducal existence. When this town residence, called Har- court House, was pulled down recently workmen found, so it is reported, a passage the cellar which had been closed by a brick wali. This discovery caused a great sensation. Immediately the strictest measures were taken by Howard de Walden, the owner, to exclude onlookers who desired to probe this mystery. A statement was given out that there was no “mysterious paas- .” but only an ordinary coal cellar.

PARIS, Sept. 8.—American drinks ana American women--it’s ungallant but true to place them tin that order—were the making of this Carlsbad season’s suc- cess. So say all the Americans now re- turning fromm that resort for a few days in Waris before they go home. ‘The vislts of the Longworths, Belmonts and Mr. amd Mrs. John R. Drexel had much to do with the social impetus given to Carisbad. At Marienbad, before his departure this wveek, King Edward gave a dinner in the Kyrsaal, to which he invited only two Americans—Anthony J. Drexel and Mrs. Sartoris. Mr. Drexel entertained the King of England at dinner this week. Among the recent arrivals at Marienbud are Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Harriman. Both are at the Hotel Stern. Stermship managers say that more American travelers than evér are giv- ing up their return tickets, announcing their intention to remain on this side for the winter or a part of it. “Twice as many as last year,’’ is their estimate. This has somewhat lessened the pres- sure for places on the home-coming steamships. Nevertheless it will be mid- October before the westward-bound traffic gresumes its normal proportions. ; cane at this season, there remain in Paris enough New Yorkers, Philadel- phians and others from the States to keep the tearoom of the Hotel Reitz gay of afternoons, not to mention the crowd which fills the brilliant Armenonville re- sort in the Bois de Boulogne every even- ing. The Americans insist that Paris is the only fascinating spot, although the weather has been uncomfortably hot. STOLYPIN ORDERS BILL FOR JEWISH RELIEF, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. t, 1906, by the Press Pub. Co. eaten (New York World.) LONDON, Sept. 8.—The Warsaw cor- respondent of the Jewish Chronicle writes: “On the initiative of Premier Stolypin the Jewish question has taken a step forward, inasmuch as he has given in- structions to his department, the Min- istry of the Interior, to lay before him the draft of a Jewish measure con- ceived in liberal terms. What form this draft will take it is difficult to say, as all the liberal intentions of Count Witte in this direction were a}. ways rendered mugatory by the antag- onism of court circles. ‘“Stolypin takes the only correct standpoint—that the Jewish question must be settled as quickly as possible. But he does not accept the correct go- lution, which consists in placing the Jews upon a. footing of equality with the rest of the population. “Stolypin believes the edge may be taken off the Jewish question by ex- tending the pale of settlement. That is error. By an extension of pale, as was done to a Iimited extent under Plehve'’s regime, a temporary alleviag- tion of the terrible economic sufferings of tthe Jewish proletariat would be brought about, but the Jewish question in Russia will never be solved by such a measure.” ENGLISH WATER WAGON IS ANNOYING BREWERS, Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World.

PEKING, Sept. 8.—Miss Hsu, daughter of Hsu Tshunghai of Szetshaum,, a wealthy nobleman, who died recently, announced to her relativss that she will devote a large part of the money: left by. her father to turther the cause of women’s education in general and for the progress of her province in particu- lar. For this purpose she divided her wealth into four parts, namely: For the maintenance of a model girls’ school, to be established in the province of Honan, $175,000; for a daily paper, to be published in Tshengtshow, $70,000; the paper is to.teach progressive ideas and sold at a very low price so that the poorest should be able to buy it; for the establishment of a school in her native village, $40,000; a fourth of the estate, valued at about $375,000, she re- served for her mother and herself. She also announces that she will make a trip around the world to study institu- tions of various nations and languages. In addition to the Chinese and Japanese, Miss Hsu speaks fluently German &And English. HINDU SEER SMELLING she was presented with a magnificent silver télephone receiver. It is the be- lated wedding gift of the functionaries of the telephone company. The telephone consists of three pieces, The base is in Louis XV style, and sur- mounted by the columns of Hercules, at the foot of which is sitting a small boy helding the Spanish arms. He is in tel- ephonic communication with an English girl, beside whom crouches the British lion. On the top of the columns a Renais- Sance arch supports two cupids, who hold the microphone. The apparatus, which is of solid silver, is crowned by the arms of Spain and England. 8.—In an authori- tative book on the state of Russia, published here, prominence is given to the extraordinary wealth of the Czar in landed property. There is first the Imperial appanages of 382,- 000,000 acres. Of that, vast domain forests cover 20,000,000 acres. The Czar shares ownership with the state. but no one knows how much gves to the State treasury, and how much to the Czar’s private purse. Then comes a large number of es- tates in European Russia, the Cau- c@sus and the Crimea, which are the Czar’s exclusive property. These form a source of revenue amounting to $10,000,000 a year. Finally there are Asiatic possessions of the Crown in two groups: (1) The Altai mining dis- trict, with an area nearly ten times as great as Switzerland, and (2) the Nertchink districts, with an area 14 times as great as Switzerland. These two districts are rich in minerals and forests, and since the Siberian rail- way was built, have enormously in- creased in Value. The Czar is also an extensive owner of real estate in St. Petersburg, Mos- cow, Kieff and numerous other cities. Russians who know, say Rocke- feller’s income falls far short of that of Nicholas II.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and ew York World. BERLIN, Sept. 8.—The case of Viola Buttner, aged 10 years, who seems to suffer from a nervous disease inducing her to tell lies, Is attracting much at- tention from medical experts. Her imagination is always at work at some- — or other and she gets many per-

s into trouble. She first attracted attention three years ago, when she re- ported to her school principal that a man threatened her with a knife and that he was hidden outside to assault her when school was over. Investigution proved the story a fab- rication. Physicians who examined her decided the storv was invented by her to satisfy her craving to tell lies. A few days ago when her mother, who is a widow, retired with the other two children, Viola got up and after jumping from a second-story§ indow, cried: “Mother wants to Kilt m¢ and my brothers.”’ Viola’s cries went with her into the house, where they found Frau Buttner sleeping and when they woke her she was amazed at Viola’s accusation. The other children said their mother had not even ad- dressed a harsh word to them. Among the children of the neighbor- hood Viola is notorious for the mischief she creates by inventing stories.
