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."

SERVES PRINCE AND PAUPER
Remarkable Old Womaa Wk

Sold ravers for Thirty
91a Years.
(Copyright, 1303. by Press Publishing Co.)
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

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."

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.

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

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. Abro
gate tbe rule ot government by majority in
political parties, let it be considered hon
orsble for a candidate defeated in conven
tion to run as an Independent, let tbe re
sult of primariea have no binding force

President Roosevelt will find a typical
western welcome awaiting blm at the por
tals of the Gate City tomorrow afternoon
when hie apeclal train arrives at 6:06 over
the Union Pacific from Fremont. During
tbe brief period ot bis presence ia the oity
he will be kept busy witnessing the cordial
and patriotic demonstrations in his behalf
and rill, in turn give the people ot Omaha
tbs pleasure ot listening to one of hie
characteristic addresses., for ths -speech at
the Coliseum' la the evening Is to be one
ot tbe most notable made by the president
on his present tour. The fact that misfor
tune deprived Omaha ot the privilege ot
entertaining the president last fall during
her Ak-Sar-Ben festivities after every
preparation for his presence had been made,
serves to cttmulate the Interest and anx
iety over his coming Monday, though In a
city and section where the president la so
particularly popular no such disappoint
ment as that of last fall was needed to
arouse enthusiasm.
The president will only be at the disposal
of Omaha about five hours, for ho will fol
low the rule he laid down at the beginning
of this tour, of retiring In his private car
at 10 c'clock or as near thereafter as pos
sible. From the Union Station he will be
escorted through the business thorough
fares of the city after tbe reception at the
depot, thence to the Omaha club, where be
will dine at 6:30. And at 8 he will be at
the Coliseum to deliver bla address. From
there he goes directly to the presidential
train which leaves tbe city at 6 a. m. for
Iowa.
Mayor Issues Proclamation.

Omaha Is determined to do Its share to
Insure a successful event. The mayor ot
the city and the chief of police, very Im
portant officials, especially under ,such cir
cumstances as this, have taken leading

zens will appropriately decorate tbelr
homes In like manner. Let us give Presi
dent Roosevelt a true western welcome.
