who has charge of the reference room at
the Public library, kept a note of every
book referred to and every question aaked
bar In connection with her work. Noth
ing saanui to have been forgotten by the
seekers after knowledge and the task
proved no easy one.
Queatlone referring to Ruaala and Japan
were the most sought after and these cov
ered everything frum the diet of the Jap
soldier to the life of the czar and his an
cestors. Then came a . large demand for
rovU ws and crtlclsma of "Mary of Mug
dula" and Mrs. Plske. Hut apart frum
the subjects that occupy the public mind
for the moment It is Interesting to note the
curious and varied subjects on which
Omaha people desire Information, The fol
lowing Is a list of subjects that were asked
for on Monday afternoon: Recent history
of China, Christian Science, arranging
inuslo for an orchestra, llermus Trlsme
gistus, ancestry of Whlttler, story of Da
Rhelngold, basket ball and Chinese medi
cine. The life of George NVashlngton is a
subject that is in much demand all through
the year, but especially so around the '.'2nd
of February.
Hut the greater portion of those that
visit the reference room do not go for the
study of some speclul subject. Heme go
to settle an argument, others to get a
theme for a toast or essay. Some have
tun across a peculiar sentence or couplet
and would like to know the author's name.
A woman living In the country writes to

the Daughters of the American Revolution,

During the wetk a young man took the

Other questions eual'y as Interesting and
difficult are asked every day. A boy who
had htird of Poole's magazine indes said

to know a contemorary of Shakespeare
(he was at work on an esiay) and It took
about twenty minutes to convince her that
a contemporary of an author was not one
of his works. She was aked if an eauay
ou Raleigh would not be suitable.
"Oh." came the surprising answer, "I
learned all about htm at school."
"What aliout Marlowe?" was a.ked.

A young man, a very young one, desired
a subject for a toast. He was told a good
many, but none seemed to suit him; at last
he blurted out, "I would like one where I
would not have to use my own thoughts."
He was given a book of toasts on every
conceivable subject and advised to learn
one off by heart and afterward surprise his
friends with his brilliant Intellect.
A woman whose daughter was going to a
fancy dress ball wanted to see a picture of
a gipsy queen to get the fine points of the
dress. She saw the picture and then wanted
to know If the skirt should be gored or
full and whether an old satin waist would
do for the occasion. Many people seem to
think that the reference room is run sfter
the short order restaurant style and that
the woman In charge depends on tips for a
living. A dime or a nickel Is solemnly laid
on the desk and the donor Is often sur
prised when the money is returned, which
is Invariably done, of course. Others show
their gratitude by bringing flowers.

To emphasize the story he began taking up
and handling quite recklessly and then
banging on the table a priceless box of
Battersea enamel, which at the climax of
his narrative he smashed Into smithereens.
The hostess nearly fainted and the At

firmly from the room.

(Copyright, 1904. by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, March 6.-(New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) In view of
the lock of news of active operations of
the war the French are colmtng down and
the reservists have received do further
notification.
Dlmltrl Nelldoff, first secretary of the
Russian legation at Constantinople, was
dined yesterday at the Hotel Rlts by the
attaches of the Russian embassy at Paris.
It Is claimed that Nelldoff Is the bearer of
an autograph letter from the csar to Lou
bet demunding the resignation of Foreign
Minister Delcaase on the ground that he
started the report of the rupture of the
Russian alliance. This Is denied by both
the French and Russian officials.
La Petite Republlque protests against
France's warlike preparations, the mobili
sation of regiments and the arming of
cruisers as generally disquieting to the
country and unworthy a serious nation.
The press Is amused by the religious fer
vor which the Russians show. The Rus
sian angel Is depicted as appealing for aid
and promising special services. The Finnish
angel la bathed in tears at Us own suffer
ing and prays heaven to annihilate ths
Russians; the French angel prays that
the Russians be given victory, "or we be
come bankrupts;" the Lord aid the Japa
nese or we must aid them," prays the Eng
lish angel; "Destroy both" cries ths
Chinese angel from the bottom of Its heart.
"Where's the Japanese angel?" asks ths
irreverent French newspaper. "Gone to
war and bombarding Port Arthur" la sup
posed to be the reply by Angel Gabriel.
The press thereupon reluctantly praises
the Japanese, "who work while others
pray."
It Is pointed out that T92.0r.on0 francs are
Invested In Russia by France.
It la claimed that the Russian army In
cludes 112 races. Including Poles, Finns,
Jews, Lithuanians, Tartars, Ourallans,
Russians, Siberians, Oeroglans. Armenians,
Kalmucks, Kurds, Chinese and many sub
divisions. Each race has Its diversity of
costume, making the army the most plc
tureque In the world.
It Is sdmltted that ths Japanese army
owes whatever efficiency It possesses to
French mllltsry Instruction. A returned
Instructor tells the Matin there Is little to
choose between the coursge of the Rus
sians and the Japanese. Each meets death
stoically. The Japanese, however, are
foolhardy, for even when firing In trenches
they scorn protection, mounting on the out
side of the earthworks, xpoMing them
selvts needlessly to deadly fire. It Is
claimed they lack sang fruld.
Ths subscription under ths auspices of
the French press for ths benefit of the
Russtun wounded now amounts to nearly
ISO, 000.
This week Klnnlsh sympathizers met at
Cafe Voltaire to see what steps It was pos
sible to take against Russia in view of the
.war In the far east. Among those present
were Dr. Frederlksen, George Brandes
Stielschimlts and Sellnoff BerlndBen. The
meeting was secret and a committee was
appointed to see what position Finland can
take In the future In case Russia becomes
more Involved than at present.

PARIS, March B (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Charles M.
Schwab, the American Ironmaster and
prime factor In the disastrous Shipbuilding
trust, has written the World's Paris bureau
denying that on the occasion of His recent
visit here he meant to slight American
newspaper correspondents. He said he
had no resontmont against them because
of his treatment at the hands of the New
York newspapers during the Investigation
of the Shipbuilding trust. He added that
he would always be glad to receive ths
correspondents.
Schwab has Just left Monte Carlo for
three days' tour across to Genoa In com
pany wtlh several friends. They went In
his fine new e.lght-cyllnder motor racing
car, one of the finest touring machines In
the world. Schwab has a professional
chauffeur with him on tha trip, but under
stands the big machine thoroughly him
self and told a friend he only took a
professional along for precaution.
Just before leaving Monte Carlo Schwab
took a final "flyer" at the gaming tables,
but only In a modest way as compared
with several other efforts In ths direction
of breaking the bank. As usual, he tried

of Shaw and when 22 married Mr. Owen,
who also only lasted about three years.
Ever since her first marriage she has
been on the stage and off. Hope made
her acquaintance while she was playing in
London with May Yohe, whose .particular
friend Bhe was. She la handsome and
stylish, above the medium height and has a
beautiful figure and reddish brown hair.
Her parts on the stage were minor walk
ing parts. She was acting In a provincial
company when, Hope began paying his
addreases.
Her mother, who was a very beautiful
Irish woman from Cork, named CHara,
Is married to her third husband. Her Brat
was Captain Bennett, a man of very good
family. Her second was an Australian
named Thompson, Lady Francis Hope's
father. Her present one Is a .Mr. Paddy,
a propserous wine merchant of Hastings.
Lady Francis Is a Catholio and her daugh
ter is a boarder In a Catholic convent In
London.
The Newcastle family Is furious at Hope's
second misalliance. Even his mother, the
dowager duchess of Newcastle, who took
up May Yohe and is a woman of .saintly
life, has refused to accept the second Lady
Francis.

He
played far less recklessly than on former
occasions and never risked a fortune on a
' single turn as he has been known to do. In
the end he got up from the table a winner

Schwab seemed to take far more Inter

who sat next to him. The nobleman at
first won a large sum, about $100,000, but
In about half an hour's play this sum
was swept away and the player left the

In the theater hat has come as a result
of newH(aprr agitation. Close fitting bon
