Bernhardt at Her Beat.
Bernhardt Is said to have been

drama. "The Legend of the Heart
which she produced recently In the theater
of Orange, In the south of FTance. with
great success. The play Is built upon one
of the stories In Boccaccio's "De Cameron."
In the original story the Jealous husband
tears out the heart of hla wife's lover,
has It delicately sploed and cooked and
serves It to her. She eats It and finds It
to her taste. Then he tells her what she
has eaten, whereupon she throws herself
from the window, saying that after the
heart of her lover no other dl.h shall pass
her Hps.
Alcard ha elaborated this story, but
has avoided the horrible scene of the
woman eating her lover's heart He makes
the servant who. at his master's command,
sets mastiffs on the lover, become mad at
the sight, fancy himself a great black
dog of the plain, come raging on the
scene and recount to the Lady Alice the
death of her lover. Then she kills herself.
Bernhard plays the role of the lover.

heard an Unknown woman say that while
she was a passenger on a transatlantic
steamer with Masse and Mauranne she
heard one of them admit that they really
were nowhere near Passy when the auto
mobile accident occurred In which the Fairs
were killed. This would seem to be the
limit of such testimony. Even the Paris
papers, appreciating the absurdity of this
continual cropping up of new witnesses.

Craay Over Balloons.
A well-dressed, under-slsed, bronsed
stranger appeared at the government pawn'
shop on Rue Servant one day thla week and
i fciased the clerks there by saying:
' ' "I am momentarily short of money and
would like a loan on one of my balloons.
"On your balloon?" echoed a clerk.
"Certainly. I am Santoa-Dumont and my
No. I Is at the door. Please go out and est!
mate the best loan possible."
A putsled employe was going to seek the
manager, when the stranger added con
fldentlally:
"You will find a man In the basket of th
balloon. Be careful how you address him
He Is the king of England and wants a loan
on his crown."
This was too much, and a policeman was
called, who took the lunatic to the station.
Little has been done In ballooning here
this week. Santoa-Dumont has overworked

(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co )
PARIS, Aug. 8-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram) Mme. Farma-
glannl, alias Marsy, sent for the World
correspondent yesterday to make this state
ment:
"I have already told of my persecution
by the police, but I want to make clear
why those in high authority dealre to ruin
me commercially out of revenge.
'I am an exoellent art expert myself.
hut the so-called Parmaglannl Is a wonder.
We always carefully studied all of tha
cqulsltlons of the Louvre, and often
laughed at the high prices given out
s paid for the objects secured, end won
ered who rocketed the difference between
the announced price and the actual value.
Three years ago we saw and pronounced
the famous tiara of Saltophernes merely
clever imitation, and worth at most not
more than Sn.ooo franc ($6,000). Naturally
some one got the difference between some
such sum and the KW.000 francs (110,000)
said to have been paid.
It Is a remurkable fact that In thla
Instance the money was paid Immediately,
whereas usually objects offered are kept
on approbation and the money Is paid
long afterwards. We said this openly
nd even communicated our suspicions to
the press.
When Adolph Rothschild left some S.O00,-
000 francs ($1,000,000) worth of art treas
ures to the Louvre, he provided more than
200,000 francs ($10,000) for fitting up a room
for thorn. We experts saw at a glance that
the actual fitting up cost less than one-
quarter of that sum and did not hesitate
to ask openly who got the rest of the
money. Naturally this made us oetestea
by the Louvre authorities, who have seized
Parmaglannl to encompass our ruin.
"The so-called Parmaglannl Is shamefully
treated In prison. The electric light Is so
arranged that its glare In his eyes pre
vents sleep, and the keepers go to his cell
every quarter of an hour. When the case
Is settled we will make a bitter fight
against our persecutors and will make the
authorities suffer. Already they wish they
were out of the case.
"Once everything Is settled, we will leave
a country where there Is no justice either
for Christians or civilians, where men have
no respect for women, and expect them to
work for their support. In fact, we think
we shall decide to take all of our belong
Inge and go to America."
SPEED LIMIT ON THE MOTORS
Proposal to Abolish It Raises

Commons.

LONDON. Aug. a. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The fero
city aroused by motor "scorching" on the
oountry roads has manifested Itself In a
way that has startled the motoring
fraternity In the House of Commons this
week.
The ministers, aotuated by Premier Bal
four, who has been fined four times for
exceeding the speed limit. Introduced a bill
abolishing tha. speed limit. And. a set-oS
Increasing the penalties for furious driving,
providing means of Identification of ears
and requiring licenses for drivers. The
proposed abolition of the speed limit
provoked a hurricane of Indignation from
all quarters of the house, swamping the
premier and his small band of motorists
It was urged abolishing the speed limit
would render the country roads Impracttc
able for the purpose and that It was class
legislation of the worst kind.
One sedate tory asserted that if the
speed limit were sacrifled the country
people would take the law Into their own
hands, would lay obstructions In the road
for motors, would play village hose upon
them and he would solemnly vow that
he would start an anti-motor campaign
himself In his own district
Then the government climbed down and
offered a speed Umlt of twenty-five miles
In the country and eight In a town. But
tha majority would not consent to any
thing more than fifteen so a speed limit
of twenty miles was agreed to, and the
bill was saved.

PARIS, Aug. . (New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram.) "To prison or to
the madhouse with Jacques Lebaudy," the
Paris press cries almost with one voice.
The public Is enraged at the wild eccen
tricities of tha millionaire In proclaiming
himself the emperor of Sahara, after seiz
ing a portion of the desert as his empire,
landing, and then deserting Ave of the crew
of his pleasure yacht Frasqulta.
The newspapers say his brother. Max,
commonly called by his nickname of "Le
Petit Sucrler" (the little sugar bowl), who
was noted for his association with "Co
cottes, racing touts, gamblers and black
mailing reporters" and also for his Infatu
ation for Mile. Mursy of the Theater Fran
cala, was "merely a fool, whose excesses
killed him at the age of 22," whereas
Jacques, called "Le Grand Sucrler" (the big
sugar bowl), is neither a dangerous lunatic
or a criminal, who probably has sacrificed
tha lives of five French citizens to the In
sanity often accompanying the Intoxication
of wealth.
The brothers got their nicknames from
the fact that their father's millions were
made In sugar.
Jacques Lebaudy engaged twenty sailors
at Havre to report aboard his yacht at
Las Palmaa, on the Canary Islands. On ar
rival there, June 1. the men found a small
schooner of fifty tons, which needed for
crew only the eight men whom they found
already aboard. Ten more were shipped,
however, and ten others were left there to
await orders. The yacht sailed June 10
and anchored off the coast of Morocco In
27 degrees, SO minutes, nerth latitude, op
posite the Canary Islands, between Cape
Juby and Surva. Lebaudy spent the night
ashore with ten of his men and after a few
hours' tour Inland declared the empire of
Sahara founded.
He selected a location for hla capital.
which he named Troja, and returned to hla
yacht, leaving five men ashore.

menacing actions of the Arabs, and then
arranged with the Arab chief to buy a
pretty Arab girl. But sbe objected, and
her screams so excited the Arabs that
Lebaudy and his men returned hastily to
the yacht
Lebaudy wished to return directly to
Las Palmas for the other ten men, aband
oning the five ashore, but the sailors pro
tested. Insisting on returning for their
companions. Of the Ave only one was
found, the quartermaster, a man named
Picard. and he had been made captive by
a band of Arabs who demanded 1,000 francs
($200) ransom. ' As Lebaudy refused to pay
the money the sailors raised It among
themselves. But when they went to pay
the ransom Picard and the Arabs had dis
appeared. The other four captives had
already been taken Inland.
Lebaundy threatened to maroon the men
for disobeying orders, but on his arriving
at Las Palma the French consul there
forced htm to send home the fifteen who
had come from Havre and whose papers
were said to be Irregular. The minister
of the colonies at Paris says he oannot
Interfere, but the minister of marine has
opened an Inquiry on the complaint Of
the sailors.
Frasqulta flew a triangular blue flag with
three golden balls. Lebaudy's letters ad
dreaaed to the authorities at Las Palmas
and elsewhere reporting the loss of his
saiiors were dated "Troja. Empire of
Sahara." and were signed by the "Chief of
the Emperor's household."
Lebaudy had trouble last year over Il
legally landing at the Iale of Wight and
at ths office of tha minister of marine in
Paris he conducted himself so that he
was regarded as a lunatic until properly

TITLED WOMEN DOG LOVERS

LONDON, Aug. . (New York World

If even the moat ardent members of the
Ladles' Kennel association would now
think of doing such a thing. Still, at the
present moment, man and woman's best
friend has no reason to complain.
The list of ardent dog lovers Is headed
by Queen Alexandra, who as princess of
Wales, was painted with a pet skye In her
lap. Many of her most familiar photo
graphs show her with Allx, a noble Russian
wolf-hound, often exhibited at dog shows
snd whose death was a great grief to the
royal household. As in duty bound, most
of the women, who belong to the court
circle follow the queen's example.
Miss Minnie Cochrane is a devoted dog
lover. So Is Lady Knollya. The young
duchess of Westminster Is very learned In
dog lore, but probably the most "doggy"
feminine wearer of the strawberry leaves
Is the ducheas of Newcastle, who shares
with the duke the presidency of the Borhol
club.
The countess of Aberdeen and her
daughter. Lady Marjorle Gordon, make a
specialty of the Scotch terriers known as
"Aberdeens." Another dog lover Is Mrs.
Sydney Waterlow, who belongs to a great
literary and legal family and Is noted for
her Intelligent affection for animals.
In sharp contrast to the pampered pups
of patricians now all the rage In aristocratic
circles Is the pugnacious bull dog which
has become extremely popular of lata with
the London public because of the strenuous
part he takes In "Glittering Gloria," a new
faroe now running at Wyndham's theater.
To judge from the comments of some of the
newspapers the dog Is regarded as "Ths
whole play."

BAR HARBOR, Me., Aug. 8. The hostile
fleet in the mimio war has been oap'ared,
and la now In the harbor.
The enemy was sighted for the second
time during the night at 8 a. m. by Olym
pla, which signaled the flagship Kear
Barge. Kearsarge, with Illinois and Ala
bama, put after the enemy, who surren
dered after shots hud Veen fired by Kear
sarge.
An Instant after receding the hews the
operator in the wireless telegraph room
was signalling for Kearsarge to announce
the discovery to Rear Admiral Barker.
The flagshlD. twenty-five miles away, of!
Mount Desert rock, caught the round
waves and answered. In a few moments
word came that Kearsarge was on Its way
to aid Olympla.
Olympla is Captured.
Meanwhile the latter vessel had found
Itself In a predicament. The fog, which
ts.d been of advantage to the enemy,
proved of disadvantage to Olympla, for
when It lifted, and Admiral Bands' teasels
were seen, they were too close to the de
fending vessel for It to escape. Under the
rule of the maneuvers It was overpowered
by the superior force, and could do noth

A number of torpedo boat destroyers and
tugs fell in behind the battleships as they
rushed on to meet the hostile vessels.
In an hour Kearaarge and Its consorts
were In sight of the enemy.
As soon as It was within range, Kear

Admiral Sands Surrenders.
Admiral Sands' flagship, Texas, made no

change of signals, and the Invading and
defending squadrons headed for Bar Har
bor. Admiral Sands sailed from Bar Harbor
on Monday. He ran 309 miles south ot
Nova Scotia and on Wednesday turned
back toward the coast For two days the
fleet steamed at half speed, so that It would
not reach Maine too soon. Admiral Sands
kept his squadron together all the time
and In about the same order. A quarter
of a mile In advance was one of the tor
pedo boat destroyers acting as an advanoe
guard. Early on Friday night a thick fog
rolled in from the sea and Admiral Bands
ordered the fleet to race at full speed for
Winter Harbor, the easterly entrance to
Frenchman's bay.
It was his Intention to enter Winter Har
bor, and. If discovered, to run Into Bar
Harbor, or possibly keep along the coast
and effect an entrance aomewhere else, but
Olympla prevented this.
Under this search problem the value of
the wireless telegraph In the navy has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
naval officers. Under ordinary conditions
it would have been several hours before
Olympla could have oommunlcated Its dis
covery to any other ships ot the squadron
even If It could have made a run for It,
which the rules prohibited. But by aid cf
wireless service not only was It able to
Inform the admiral of the approach of the
enemy, but Admiral Barker's flagship,
Kearsarge, tranamltted the message from
ship to ship along the whole length of the
coast from Mount Desert rock to Cape
Ann, so that In a short time all the de
fending squadron was informed ot the
enemy's presence and reinforcements to Ad
miral Barker ware coming from miles along
the coast.
All these ships are to gather here for
two days preparatory to sailing for Oyster
Bay, where the entire fleet Is to be re
viewed by the president on Saturday.

TRIBUTE TO LATE P. M. ARTHUR
Cordial Words Spoken of Veteran
Chief by Member of Engineers
Brotherhood.
Recently, during the present session ot
the Union Paclilo adjustment board of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the
members had T. C. Livingston, a veteran
engineer and insurance becretary of the
Omaha lodge, write the following tribute
to the late Grand Chief Peter M. Arthur
and inscribed It on their record. It goes
to show the deep love and respect held
toward Mr. Arthur by those of the craft
which he honored:
Peter M. Arthur was born In Paisley,
Scotland, In 1S31, and came to thla country
when but 11 years old, und waa soon thrown
upon his own resources. He had the ad
vantage of a common school education, but
his needs required that he should become
a wage-earner and he hired out to a
farmer for i a week, when still a vouni
boy. Aftur a time he secured employment
as a wiper of eiiKlnes for the New York
Central railway, and having energy and
ambition, the officials recognised his
worthiness of something better. He was
promoted to the position of fireman and
nis superior anility and strict attention to
every duty soon brought further promotion
to tne position ot engineer, in which ca
pacity he served the New York Central
until he was choeen grand chief in Cleve
land, February 18T4.
In his last address In a public meeting
at Winnipeg, a few moments prior to his
sudden death, he used some characteristic
phrases. After speaking of the great moral
mrjovement of the membership, he said:
What' greater crime can - there be than
for a man to run a locomotive when his
mind Is under the Influence of liquor?" And
later, "Always concede to others the same
rights you have demanded tor yourself, it
Is not clothes nor wealth, but character,
that counts. Come, let us reason together."
He waa one of the finest types of a gen
tleman that the world has ever seen. No
man ever met with discourtesy from him,
He was gentle to the last degree, courteous
to all and his face ever wore the smile ol
a genial soul. Peace be to bis ashes.

Severe Test on Firemen.
The above facts and figures tell ths
story,- In rough outline, of two fires laat
night, one of which was the most stub
born and difficult to combat with which
the Omaha firemen have had to contend
for many a day. It was the fire which
gutted the Nash building at 1608-18 Hamey
street, occupied by the Midland Glass and
Paint company and Marks Brothers' Sad
dlery company, lasting from 6:40 until after
o'clock. The total loss at this fire Is
placed at approximately $116,000, fully cov
ered by Insurance. The other fire was on
Douglas street, between Fifteenth and Six
teenth, and did probably 812,000 worth of
damage, divided between the Lilliputian
Bazaar, owned by Benson Thome, and
the A. Hospe Art store, the heavier divi
sion falling on the former firm.
The origin of the big fire is traced to a
defective motor wire, which supplied
power for the elevator. The fWmes were
flrst seen Issuing from this wire on the
third floor of the fifth story building. The
cause of ths Douglas street Are is not
known.
The fires burned simultaneously, for a
while at least Just as the flames wera
raging worst at the Harney street lire and
Chief Baiter and his large army of men
were being taxed to their utmost, menaced
every recond bs the Increasing potency of
their deadly enemy, a second alarm sounded (
and Assistant Chief Wlndhelm took truck
No. 8 and cart No. 11 off to the Douglas
street fire, which, though serious, was soon
extinguished. The entire department was
out having responded to a general alarm.
and never did men flght. under greater
odds nor acquit themselves better.
Men Have Desperate Struggle.
Time and time again It seemed ss if tho
gallant firemen would have to give up In
despair, but, facing the most extreme
danger, they held on with bulldog tenacity,
fighting as they went, until finally they
conquered. Thousands of spectators
thronged Harney street on the south. Sev
enteenth on the west. Far nam and the
alley between Harney and Far nam on tho
north and Sixteenth on the east and cheered
or groaned as the firemen prevailed or'
were for the time overpowered. The
crowd was so great that large numbers of
women and children sought places on the
high grounds surrounding the courthouse.
Cordons of police were necessary through
out to keep back the crowds. The hose
was strung from every adjacent fire plug
and formed a network along the surround
ing streets. This made It necessary for
the street cars to cancel regular service,
which waa not resumed until 1:45. Stub
lines were run on Furnam and Hamey
streets and the cross-town cars run around
on the Fifteenth and Howard tracks, how
ever, so that service was not entirely
abandoned.
Many daring and thrilling feats were per
formed b the firemen during the progress
of this fight. Onoe, about T o'clock, when
It seemed the Are had been conquered,
seven of Chief Salter's men wers noticed
on two different fire escape landings in tho
rear of the building, at the third and
fourth storlos. They were working with
some of the seven hoses that had been
pouring volumes of water Into the build
ing. Three of the' men were above, and
tour neiow. euaueniy winaows were
opened, and like a flash of tremendous
lightning great eheeta of flames swept nut
of the lower window, that on the third
story landing into the faces of ths four
men. Instead of leaving their hazardous
station, as ths crowd expected them to do,
these four, reinforced by the other three,
who cams down in ths mouth of the fire,
held the streams on the raging flames in
side until Anally the flames were subdued.
Mono Hurt on Dung las Street.
All the firemen Injured, were at the Har
ney street Are. No casualties resulted from
the Douglas street disaster. Captain Ol
son ts thought to ba the worst hurt man.
His Injurlt-a aro pronounced serious, his
eyes'.eht being somewhat despaired of.
Yet he Is not thought to be fatally Injured.
