PARIS, May I. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) An event
which this week gathered all Parisian ele
gance was tho opening of tho real salon,
tho two previous ones being considered but
cotupetltlvo upstarts, socially speaking.
Everybody was there, even too many.
Tho general verdict, especially ntnoug tho
rich Americans present, was that the
Vernlssagc exhibition Is yearly losing tho
exclusivncs which madu It famous tho
world over. Still many prominent people
enmo from London, Uerlln, St. Petersburg
mid Mndrld to attend the function.
Tho duke of Cambridge left his beloved
Hlvlcra to be present. He never has missed
tho VcrnlBsago In twenty-two years. Tho
king of Uelglum, tho king of Orceec and tho
Russian grand duke also cam- Americans
wintering In Itnly also returned purely
for It.
From now till tho great racing week, end
ing with tho Ornnd Prix, the llrst Sunday
111 Juue, tho season will be a whirl of bril
liancy. Americans, as usunl, sharo largely
in PnrlB gay life.
Only those events marked by something
picturesque can be mentioned. Lmmn
Knltics, for Instance1, beforo storting for

Mme. Karnes and her husband, Julian
Story, attended a great soiree In their

club house.
Arthur Salols, a wealthy Paris-New York
attorney, who has returned with his wife
to their npartmcnts, Immediately resumed
his famously original entertainments with
two coaching parties, each comprising
moro than twenty American guests. Tho
first time thoro was a luncheon In St
Germain forest, tho second a luncheon near
Castle Fontnlncbleau.
Mr. and Mrs. John Drexel, Instead of the
usual fashionable luncheon under the trees
on tho Champs Elynees, on varnishing
day took n'party to Robinson, where, tho
weather bolng favorable, theru was a Joy-
out repast in tho same treo tops whero Mr.
Do Young gavo a dinner last summer to all
tho American notables present nt tho ex

simultaneously with coaching. Young
Hnulloy Martin Is by far the best Amorl

James Hyde, on his Invitations, Issued
dally for various trips, has the engraved
line, "rain or Bhlnc."
Other American parties go dally to Ver

Sho sold to tho World correspondent: "My

marrying au American. This ball will show
that I am rather favorablo to Franco-

She probably was referring more pnrtlcu

Pontnlls' banns when his engagement to
his present wife was announced.

Tho Economist warns brokers "of tho
necessity for arranging very wido margins
i advancing upon American securities,
or the most part thu Yankees havo lost

which they may over havo possessed."
The Financial News says- "It can not bo

of American railroad shares have as a

Vhoso which seem to have dono so havo

Mr. Agnew to offer $20,000 for It. Mean
time Sir John Mtllals examined tho picture
exhaustively, giving tho opinion that If
it wus a Gainsborough at all It was n rough
skctrh worked up by some other hand and
not worth 10,000 pence. At the auction Mr.
Agnew went $2,fi00 beyond Dudley's coin
mission, so ho repudiated thu purchase and
Immediately afterward tho picture was

Laurence Housman is the author of "An
English Woman's Lovo Letters." Ho stren
uously denied the authorship before, as the
mystery enhanced tho sule of the book, but
ho now Is offering another book to his
publishers, describing himself as tho author
of tho "Lovo Letters."
Housman, who Is 'M years old, has been
prollllc wrltor of short stories and
poems. His brother and sister also write
and paint. Thoy aro nephews and niece of
Danto Gabriel Rotsettl, tho pioneer pout

Housman, who hitherto has had a strug

on "An English Woman's Lovo Letters."

JACKSONVILLE, Fin., May 1. Jaekaon
lllo's great flw which began yesterday
has burned Itself out. Ono hundred and
forty-elglH blocks of n beautiful city havo
been laid waste. The loss will pot bo known
oven approximately for a week, but It Is be
lieved It will amount to $l0,0iiil,000. Thero
re uin rumors alloal of loss of life, but
s evory Undertaker lu the city was burned
out It Is Impossible to obtain au olllclal re
port. Ono story which Is persistently reiterated
Is to the effect that a party of men and
women wero driven to tho docks by the flro
and were compelled to Jump Into the water
and that several of them were drowned,
Mrs. llognn, a negro woman, wns burned In
her houso mid her charred remains wero
burled by friends this afternoon.
Tho burned district Is thirteen blocko
wide and two miles long and extends frond
the St. Johns river, where It burned ten
docks, to Catherine street on tho east,
Orange on the north and Dnvls to tho west.
This Immense nrea was swept as clenn as
lloor. Tho city Is under martial law and,
all of the available statu militia is on duly'
In tho strcetH of Jacksonville. Some order
is being brought out of the contusion. Jack
sonville Is facing the emergency calmly and
has organized fdr relief work.
Ten thousand people arc homclcs uml
many of them left on tno nitcrnoon nnu
night trains for St. Augustine nnd other
near cities and nearby towns, whllo numer
ous river craft took many to llttlo places on
tho St. Johns river. Supply Htntluns have
been (stabllshcd lu various parts of tho
city and nil day they have been thronged
by tho hungry. Tho prompt action of Sec
retary of War Root In tendering the use
of tho barracks nt Fort llurmncns, near St.
Auguztlne, was received with gratitude on
every side. The east coast, trains leaving
hero at 5 o'clock this afternoon. .carrltfc
to St. Ttji&tfstlno over 2,000 peoplo WJh ho'fi '
to receive temporary shelter from (ho gov
ernment. ,
AtCOmmltteo' w-do "appointed at n meeting-
of citizens this afternoon to telegraph the -governorn
of various states to send all tho
tents they cau spare to Jacksonville. It
will bo weeks before anything llko perma
nent shelter ccn be provided for tho home
less thousands, nnd Jacksonvllo for some
tlmo to come will bo a city of tentu.
Tho relief fund raised by citizens of Jack
sonville nt a meeting this afternoon amounts
to $15,000. This was augmented tonight by
telpgram from tho Armour company of
Chicago instructing; Mayor Ilowden to draw
for J 1,000. Other subscriptions nro being re
ceived from mauy places. Jacksonville has
not yet mado any ol'lclul application for
aid. There seems to bo some objection to
this, but It is mainly based upon the as
sertion by many leading citizens that Jack
sonville and Forlda can meet tho emergency
and care for their own.
Tho following telegram was recolved from
the governor:
fALLAIIASSE. Flu.. May l.-MnoWll-
Hams. Adjutant General. Your call for
Gainesville, Orlo.mdo and Stark companies

At 7 o'clock this morning Governor Jen
nings declared tho city under martini law.
Colonel l.ovell of the First icglmcut Is in
command of tho troops.
Tho following troops lu addition to local.
companies arrived during tho day and are
on duty. Governor's Guards, Tnllahasso;
Columbia Rifles, Lako City; Suwaneo Rifles,
Llvo Oak, and Gem City Guards, Palatka.
Major Dradshaw, under Colonel iovell, is lu
Immediate command of tho troops. Tho
city Is patrolled and tho entrances to tho
burned districts guarded by sentinels, Mil
itary headquartets have bsen established
on tho vacant lot behind thn federal pott
ofllco building. PnsscB oro necessary to en
ter tho lines In nny part of thu city
Tho suburbs of Jacksonville stood out to
day llko oases In tho deport of desolation.
From llrldge Htreet to Laura a thin frlngo
three blocks deep stands uninjured along
tho river front, but to tho eastward, north
ward and westward of Hemming pnrk nn un
broken bed of ashes meets the eye In which
gniint chimneys rear themselves like monu
ments In a fo-gotten city.
I'liniilles ( it in ! on Vnennt Loin,
On every vacant lot In tho territory sur
rounding thu burned district families ure
camped. Some hud plied furniture about
them, tpi ending over them n blanket, mak
ing a tent. In tnnry cases this covering was
only enough foi tho baby. Somo bad brought
a fryfngpnn, somo n coffeepot, koiiih hail
money to get bread all wero shared In
turn. Over tho gathering occasionally
shrilled tho mourning of a ncgress whote
child wus missing, to ho followed by nobs
In every key that told of tho habit of re
pression lu tho Caucasian and tho savago
frankness of the African.
During tho progress of tha flro hundreds
of people moved their goods Into tho str.-ets,
but It Is Impossible to get drays to cairy
the goods uway and furniture, buoks and
brlc-n-br!ic worn bound up. Dr. Stout saved
his library by digging a hole in his yard, lu
which ho burled his books wniiped up In a
blanket. This plan was followed by several
persons. Somo burled their trunks In tho
same manner. Drays loaded with furnlturo
nnd trunks filled tho streets nil day. Home
less people slept on Improvised luds notr
