RULE Only Possibility in Louis Nopoleen, Wk U gatlafled with Preseat Position In tho R alnn Army. PARIS, April 25. (New York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) "President Roosevelt le regarded In France ai a most Interesting man, like a modern knight errant, and, withal, frank, manly and sym pathetic," said Charles Laurent to the World correspondent. Mr. Laurent, who wears the crosa of the Legion of Honor, was formerly .a municipal councillor and a deputy, and now Is an aggressive editor lal writer for the Matin and the Francala. "At first, after President McKlnleys death, he waa feared," continued Mr. Laurent, "but now he is universally ad mired for not permitting his soldierly in stincts to develop into Chauvinism (hatred of foreigners"). The World correspondent referred to the press comparison of the travels of Presi dents Roosevelt and Loubet, whereupon Mr. Laurent observed: "Injustice is done to President Loubet. He hss the simplest tastes' and is very democratic. I often meet him at Place du Chalet standing on the curb. I, after. saluting, remark: 'What are you doing here, M. le President.' He, replying, un affectedly, ssys: 'I am just waiting for my omnibus,' and when It comes along he hops on, standing on the platform and moklng a cigar. "Rut the voyage and displays In Algiers had to be made costly, or I perceive France would hare been belittled In the eyes of the Arabs." Mr. Laurent expresssd his Ideas on other 'subjects now agitating the press as fol lows: Republic is Permanent. "A change In government In France could only become possible as the result of a most disastrous wsr, or one ending In extraordinary victory. In the first Instance, , maddened vth chagrin, the people might do anything; in the eecoad, a successful general might become such a popular idol that he could achieve anything. "One royalist, the pretended Prince Victor Napoleon, who, forbidden to enter France, Uvea In Brussels, is out of the race for private reasons, while bis younger brother, Louis, now a general In the Ruealan army, though able and popular, seem content In hie present position. The other pretender, the duke Of Orleans, who Is also barred from France, had a brief-popularity through Insisting on coming Into the country to do military service, but being arrested aa a result he has now subsided." B peaking on the question of the budget. Mr. Laurent said: "It Is Impossible for.lt to be worse, but I think the government credit le not men aced, although the difficulties can only be overcome by more taxation and rigid econ omy. The French 'woolen stockings' are till aa full of money aa they were In 1870, but It would lake some grsat national peril to bring It ut." Believes la Freo Press. I Touching upon the tuple of the freedom of the press, he observed: "I believe In absolute freedom In utter knee, even of the anarchistic organs. But I believe the press is equally amenable to punishment ae others if they transgress the common law." Recently in a series of articles entitled "I'ne Bastille a Prendre" (A Bastille to Seize) Mr. Laurent accused the government of opening the private mall of prominent . persons, particularly during the Dreyfus I use, the worst offense being committed at jena brsncn postomce in tne Avenue de "L'Opera. "I made the accusations unqualifiedly, he aald, "and have vainly challenged gov ernmental prosecution. I do not accuse Premier Combes of being responsible, but anally such espionage became so bad that Forichon', the first president of the court of appeals, was obliged to have all of hla mall addressed to his country residence, The outrageous situation has been some what relieved now."

PARIS, April 25. (New Tork World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) One of the central figures of thj opera quarter In the "City of Light" is Mme. Duperron, 75 yesrs old, who has kept for thirty-six years a newspaper kiosk Just to the right aa one comes out of the Orsnd hotel on the Boule vsrd des Cspuclnes Through the winter fogs and cold and the summer heat and dust of a lull genera tion this eccentric but highly Intelligent woman hss been at ber station dally with unfailing cheerfulness to wait upon custo mers who come from all quarters of the globe and spesk all langusges. During the lege of I'ari5 she sold evening txti.it with unruffled calm while shells were scattering death along the boulevards. Throughout the commune ehe continued her dally tasks, wisely expressing no opin ion on any question except that the public could not read too many newspapers, and hue escaping interference. She once caused a great commotion In the Place de L'Opera at a military review by Napoleon lit. Somebody of not enough social importance to Insure an audience with the emperor was keenly anxious to bring to his notice a letter, the story goes, nd Mme. Duperron never denied it, that the letter wan written by a woman In Napoleon's household whose husband bad deserted ber In a manner particularly shameful, even for those times. Mme. Duperron volunteered to place the letter In the emperor's bands. While the emperor was reviewing the troops, sur rounded by splendidly mounted chasseurs, she suddenly darted from the crowd and. rushing to Napoleon's side, forced a letter nto his hands. A score ot arms were outstretched to thrust her back, but the emperor took the letter, directing the mounted men to see hat the woman was not trampled by their horses. Furthermore, it Is said that the writer of the letter achieved her end and that through the medium of the emperor her husband wae restored to her, The Intrepid young woman who pushed aside an emperor's chasseurs three decades ago Is a bent yet active old woman today, with Intelligent memory, rich In striking experiences and Instances. These Ameri cans and English who live In Paris or often come here call her affectionately Auntie," while their children know her ae the good fairy of the "Klack," though some irreverently call her old "Madam Bend over" because of her stoop from age. She Is as kindly as ever and no one follows the march of events more closely than does she. Half English and half French her parents having been born on different side of the channel Mme. Duperron is not only an object of Interest, affection and respect to foreigners, but she has a great clientele among the Parisians. For years one of the most fashionable clubs in the city baa sent a stylish carriage every night to take her borne. One will occasionally find Mme. Duperron apparently dosing, but If he thinks she le sleep let him try to pick up a paper and ass on without psylog for It. Those-who hare seen, her, decade arte decade,' taking In money, and never spend Ing any, say she Is rich and connected with noble British family. To this Mme. Du perron responds: 'Nonsense, I have no money. I am only an old woman who, from an advantageous point on a busy thoroughfare of the most remarkable city In the world, hae had chance to observe much. I have bad my experlencea and am content to go on earn ing my living so until the end, glad to bear ths people call me 'Auntie.

Ins; Conditions Necessary to Seen re the Deatsch Frtae. (Copyright. 1908. by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS. April 25. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Santos-Du-mont has been paying close attention lately to hla great balloon tent, which covers al most an acre of ground. So many accidents happen In experimenting with new balloons and now apparatua while starting to make an ascent and even before getting fairly out of the shed that be Is taking every pre caution to make hie great tent secure with steel guy ropes, Although the shed la ready to receive four balloons he will give his Immediate atten tion to the Inflating of only two and their fitting out will take at least a week. One of these. No. 6, of the same type aa the last one in which Santos-Dumont made an asoent In 1901, has 22,000 cublo feet ca pacity. The other, No. 7. le of 9.000 cubic feet capacity. It la forty-eight feet long and eighty-two feet in diameter. The front end is larger than the rear. It baa a com pensatlng "balloonet," which le Inflated with air by meana of a fan controlled from the three horse-power petroleum motor, Motor and car are eupported by a fine framework 235 feet long, suspended seven feet under the balloon. The propeller, ten feet In diameter, makes 20O, revolutions a minute. Season Proves Handicap. The season's backwardness has retarded not only Santos-Duraont's experiments at Neullly, but also those of Engineer Julllot, who hss charge of the Lebaudy brothers' big balloon at Molsson. Anybody except plucky "little Santos" would be discouraged at the adverse weather conditions of the laat few weeks, making ballooning practically Impossible. The re cent storm of mixed snow and rain with heavy wind did considerable damage to his aerodrome, but with Indomitable energy Bantos works away and expects to have re' paire made in a few days. The Lebaudy brothers' big airship, which la kept at Molsson, 100 miles from Paris, has had better luck. Juchmes and Julllot, the pilot and Inventor respectively, have made several short trips-from ths aero drome and have-returned without accident. Thess gentlemen are confident that they will be able to fulfill the conditions of the Deutsch prise, which means sailing from St. Cloud around the Eiffel tower and back, But more experiments and better weather must be awaited before the trip to Paris ana back can be undertaken. Expects Many Rear rets. As eoon as the experlmente get to the stage of actual air trials the greatest In terest will center about the degree of con trol Santos-Dumont will have over his new airship built to carry fourteen passengers, about which the World has already pub lished Interviews. The aeronaut Is much less concerned about possible failure of this, his most ambitious undertaking, than he le at the dubloue prospect of finding fourteen persons willing to go up with blm. This Is the balloon with which ha proposes to mako pleasure excursions, hoping to make the balloon pay for itself by charging each pas- " r"l a pound, ao- cording to bis weight. fiantos-Dumont Is a great favorite both at the club and In society. Everyone Is glad to meet him socially, to dine with him, to plsy billiards with him, and all that, but the crucial test will come when he aenda hla friends an Invitation reading: "Santos Dumont presents his compliments, and would be pleased If you can Join blm In a uiue Daitoontng party tomorrow." Will he be snowed under with rrv He expecte to be. He says the fear of a-olns- up in a balloon Is the greatest menace to tne development ot the science.

In aa interesting article in the Deutsche Rundschau ea the American character, eaye of the American man: '.'Hla knighthood shows Itself most dis tinctly In his attitude toward women. The American does not go Into rapturss about women or walk on stilts like the old Minnesingers or the degenerste literary youths of France.

(Nsw York World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) The French press points out that English customs are getting more and mora hold in France. In England It Is common for a husband. deceived by his wits, to sue the despoller of his home for dsmsges, which be gets without difficulty. In France such cases are rare, but one was decided yesterday In a Parle court.

The court fined the husband $10 and the woman $5 and ordered them Jointly to pay $200 dam agea.

EDWARD R0SEWATER GIVES SOME FACTS Throws the Searchlight Over Records of Moores' Critics ai rays His Respects to Boomer J Benson. Voters whose facee are etrange In the or dinary political gatherings were loudly demonstrative for the republican ticket from Frank E. Mooree down at a central meeting held In Washington hall last night. It was the biggest meeting of the campaign so far held In the Interests ot the opposing candidates. The principal speakers were Edward J. Cornish. Edward Rosewater, Mayor Moorea and W. J. Connell, with City Clerk Elbourn, City Treasurer Hennlngs and Councilmanlc Candidate Oeorge T. Nicholson, also on the program. Chairman Robert Cowell of the city central commit tee presided. Ovations lasting from two to three min utes were given to Mayor Moores, Mr. Cornish and Mr. Rosewater, while liberal applause and -cheers were given for ths other candidates. Tbe mayor, who wae tbe first speaker, was suffering from a se vers cold end said but a few words. He told his audience that he had tried to give (hem clean, business-like administrations; that the corporations are fighting him tooth and nail but that he Is resolved to be true to the people to the last, and on such a foundation declaration will make hie fight for re-election. fpeakrrs Roundly Applanded. ' The' address of Mr. Cornish was approved in no gentle manner by the assembly, and his points never failed to arouse a ready response, Indicating that they had been understood. Shortly after he had started he waa Interrupted for a moment by the entrance of fifty Second warders. "It Is good to see the way in which tbe boya ot the Second ward rally in the interests of tbe truest friend they ever had In Omaha," remarked tbe speaker, and instantly there was a wild scene of enthusiasm for Frank E. Moores. , There wss another scene ot great ex citement when Mr. Rosewater declared that the chances of Moores for re-election were better than they were three years ago a weeit before election. Tbe cheering was sustained when he aald the First, Second and Tlird. wards would give more votes for Moorea than the whole city would for Benson; that-the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth would do the eame, and that the mayor will get more votes tban Benson In the re maining wards. Caadldatea Are ' Modest. City Treasurer Hennlnge showed hy fig ures the untruthfulness of the charges that he tried to collect taxes from the poor and let the rich escape. City Clerk Elbourn asked for re-election on the strength of hie past record. George T. Nicholson, can didate for the counctl from the - Fcurth ward, declared that his highest aim if elec ted would be to remain honest and serve the people faithfully. City Attorney Connell devoted part of his speech to reviewing what he had accom plished for tbe public good In Omaha, men tioning the viaduct fight and the Union Pacific shop sgreement. He explained why all his real estate tsxes were not paid on real estate, "more of a liability than an asset," and asserted that the records would show be hat alwaya kept his personal taxes paid and as much real estate taxes as be was able. Plenda for Republican Unity. Hon. E. J. Cornish spoke as follows "I desire to discuss the Issues of this campaign, first, from tbe standpoint of a politician and, second, from the standpoint of a citizen and taxpayer, aa these terms are commonly used. Rightly speaking, no man Is a good citizen who does not give his attention to politics and a politician who aspires to a permanent and honorable Influence must be one of the best of cltl sens. "This city and county are normally 2,000 republican. Yet every important office In the court house except that of county Judge is held by a democrst. A democrat represents this district in congress. And from present appearances it Is not unlikely that a demo crat may be tbe chief executive ot this city. The cause of this unnatural and un fortunate condition ia factionalism In the republican party. 1 Is useless to attempt to Ox tne blame or noia eitner. party re sponsible for the evil. Both are guilty and each can plead tbe other'e fault te Justify Us own. We are fast reaching a point where a republican nomination to an Im portant office le not to be desired. "The only way to atop this condition Is to stop It. The most fitting time le now, The city convention, after nominating Frank E. Moores as mayor, In response to the wish ot the people aa expressed In most hotly contested prlmsry, in which the Issue was clearly stated as Moores and antl-Moores In every wsrd but tbe Ninth, stopped and considered the Interest ot the party and not a faction. Mr. Hennlngs for city treasurer, Mr. Elbourn for city clerk, four candldatea for the city council, who had received a plurality of the votes In their respective wards, were nominated, al though they had bitterly antagonized Mayor Moores in the primaries. Representation on the central committee waa given to the defeated faction in every ward which they carried. Fairer treatment could not be ac corded a minority taction. (Applauae.) Rale of Majorities. "If we did not yield to majorities our government would end In anarchy and our party organizations be powerless for good. Jamea Brlce said that ths United Statea in its party organizations. In which the minor ity yield for tbe time to the majority, had given to the world the humbler citizen's most powerful weapon of defense. Ia ancient times It wss tbe custom of tyrants, Just as in modern times It is ths custom of those Interests that aeek special privileges and Immunities, to divide the opposition their own wrong doing has engendered by encouraging factional dlsssnslona.
