Oread Duke Michael, eoueln of the eier.
who lost h!a p!tton at the Russian court
early twelve yeara ago, when be mergan
atieally teamed Coua?ee Torby. has
tsurped power snd nuthority in the cos
raopolltsa colony here for many years.
Tola he bae been enabled to do chiefly
through hie Intimacy with King Edward.
rnmlstakable eigne cf the rebellion
agatnet the pretensions of the grand duke
and hia wife had been plainly visible lor
him time and the finishing stroke ram a
abort time ago. when the grand duke waa
denied re-election as president of the
fashionable Cerele Nautique (nautical
club). Thia la the most exclusive yachting
club In the world. The other member.
American. French and Brltiah. thought It
time to put a atop to Countese Torby taking
social precedence over their women folk.
Therefore they elected as president Count
Castes Chandon of Briallea.
The grand duke Is going to start a rival
club next door to the Nautique and tor
that purpose he has rented a new villa In
the garden of the Grand hotel. Through
hia followers he announces that It will be
an extremely select affair, for "Michael
did not like meeting tradesmen at the
Nautlqne." Those desiring to Join this
exclusive set hare to get an Invitation
before they can become members of the
new club.
King Edward, who Is one of the share
holders of the Nautique. Is exceedingly
annoyed at the grand duke's action la
starting a rival club. The king's omitting
to visit the grand duke ia October, as had
been his Intention, Is accepted as proof
of displeasure. Unless the greed duke gives
tip his project he may forfeit tha king's
friendship. Witt kaa happened at the
Nautlqua Is almost certain to be repeated
In the Oolf club one of these day, for, al
though th graad duke has let sold an
extraordinary somber of shares, ho reigns
supreme, behave Ilk an autocrat 0d la.
Diets the etiquette cf hi priest house oa
the embert who frequently ar kept
waiting' tor luncheon because .. countess
Torby has not turned up on. time. -Kam-bers
most aot rise np from the table, even
thoagh the meal Is finished.- until the grand
duke give .the signal. The golfer are
getting tired of this tomfoolery,
' Cannes cannot support the Nautique an 4
Michael's new club. . .
Th scandal caused by Michael's latest
action has caused a most unpleasant feel

Boucher, on of Paris' distinguished sculp
tors, began his career at the very bottom
round of the ladder. He waa a peasant
ant his first statuettes were fashioned of
the mud of the fields he roamed as a shep
herd. With the memory of his own hard
ships la the early days of his career, he
has decided to build a house tn a good
location, with plenty of sunshine and a
view of trees, suitable for poor young
artists and sculptors' who Bow have to toll
at artistic work In the most wretched
lodgings, almost without light, because
hey cannot pay for a studio.
This house will provide' studios at the
rate of M to 10 a year a third - or a
fourth of the amount ordinarily paid. Mr.
Boucher aays it would be a misnomer to
call k a charity.' tor the artist will pay
for their studio. He had noticed that
phllaathropists were Utereetlng them
selves la better lodgings tor workmen and
he had asked himself why there should
not be more comfortable quarters tor work
men with the brush and chisel.
"First," he replied, "our gold standard
law of 1&00 should be strengthened by
mschinery tor maintaining parity between
gold and ailver. The public mind Is pre
pared for aa perfect a gold standard as
can be established. A law providing for

A IJ-year-old breaker boy said be was
working ia the Markle mine to pay off a
debt incurred by his father, who was killed
In tbe mines eighteen months ago.
He received no pay, but waa given due
bille, showing how much his mother owed
the company. These bills showed thst the
debt his mother was incurring for house
rent was growing taster than be could re
dace It, as be was only getting 4 cents an
hour.
He drew a pathetic picture of family fi
nancial struggles and the poverty-stricken
state in which he lived. His mother was
aiding as beat she could the apparently fu
tile task of paying off tbe company. To
further thia end she even crowded nine
persons Into her four-room house.

at the company store, the only place where
the miners could get credit and where
prices were from 10 to 20 per cent higher
than elsewhere.
Sometimes he had done well and wiped
out his debt, but the company then gave
him such bad work that he immediately
got Into debt again.
He waa evicted from hia bouse and re

afternoon, and arrived at 1:30.
Mr. Reed's mind wss in such a state dur
ing the day that he did not realixe the seri
ousness of his condition. He was cheerful
snd conversed with those about him. When
it became apparent that he would not sur
vive, the wife and daughter were notified
and they remained constantly at the bed
side until tbe distinguished patient breathed
his last.
With only a faint hop of aeriaa: his ilf
oxygen waa administered throughout' th
day.
It was stated tonight that Mr. Reed had
been suffering from Brlght'a disease for
some time, which resched ths acute stage
today, and thia furnished aa additional
cause for alarm. Mr. Reed passed awar

though his condition was not considered
alarming. A trained nurse remained with
him throughout Tuesday nlgM and th
patient ahowed signs of improvement
Mrs. Reed and daughter, Mis Kittle, ar
rived on Wednesday and have remained
with him ever alnce.
On Thursday the physicians announced
that tha appendicitis symptoms wer abat
ing, but that, kidney trouble had developed,
giving a more serious aspect to the case.
Dr. W. C. Goodnow was summoned from
Philadelphia for rousultation. An attack
of nausea Friday night distressed the pa

members of the cabinet, many prominent
and representative citizens and officers ef
the army and navy was about t close whea
