The three days fete In honor of the beatification of Joan of Arc ended Sunday with Impressive services at Notre Dame, at which Monsignor Amlette, archbishop of l'urls presided.

The royalist committee of Paris seised the occasion to give a dinner of SitO covers In honor of the duke of Orleans. Senator Le Breton presided at the dinner. The com pany sang royalist songs and violent speeches were made against the republic. Senator 1-e Breton denounced the ideas that Joan of Arc, If alive today, would be Enylhing but a royalist Catholic. "What Frenchman," he exclaimed, "re gardless of politics, was unmoved the other day when the pope, Incarnating the great est moral authority of the universe, pro claimed the maid of Orleans blessed?" Senator LieBreton concluded by saying that the beatification of Jonn of Arc should unite all In common action. When he pro posed a toast to the duke of Orleans those present shouted: "Long live the king; down with the republic." At the conclusion of the banquet a num ber of the younger section attempted to form a parade, deiplte the objections of the police, who finally broke up the procession and tore down the banners.

He went to Hot Springs for rheumatism and his stomach trouble got worse. One day at breakfast the waiter, knowing his condition, suggested he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which he did and found the food agread with him perfectly.

ELEVEN BILLION NOW ON HAND Gold fain ow ! tutted States Over Billion and Halt tioM I sea In Arts and la dastrlr. WASHINGTON. May IT. A preliminary summarization of a series of tables bear ing on the production of g-oid. prepared by the bureau of statistics, was mad public today. According to the figures presented the world's stock of gold has Increased about one-half In the last decade and doub led In the last quarter of a century. Tha stock of gold money has meantime grown In even greater proportions, being practi cally 75 per cent more than a decade ago. The tables show the gold production of the world since the dlKcnvery of America and the amount of gold money In e world, country by country. "The gold pro duction from the discovery of America to the present time," is is stated, aggre gated ll3,0W.on0.nri0, speaking In round terms, and the amount of gold now In existence Is estimated by experts, still speaking In round terms, at lll.noo.ono.onn value, while the value of the gold coin In all the coun tries of the world from which statistics are available now aggregates t7.ofln.ow.ono." According to the tables a very rapid In crease In gold production in recent yesrs Is shown. As the result of this rapid growth," It Is stated further, "the gold output of the world mines during the ten years ending with l!Kt aggregsted. according to the fig ures In question, tMfl.onn.iion, while the product of the Immediately preceding vears aggregated 120,000,000, making a t aflat of nearly IS.ono.noo.nno worth of metal produced In the last twenty-five years out of a total production of 13.O0O,0Cni.ii since the dis covery of America." Meantime, however, It Is stated, although gold Is more care fully conserved than any other article of man's production, some portions of the $3,ooo,oon.noo have disappeared, and the best estimates put the total world's supply of this metal at the present time at about lll.ono.non.noo, of which one-third Is the product of the last ten years, one-half the product of the last twenty-five years, and three-fourths the product of the last sixty years. The summary says that "considering Its distribution by countries, the United States has a greater supply of gold money than any other country, the figures being ac cording to this table: fnlted States, 11,613. nno.ono; Germany. tl.044.Orm.oiO; France, tT'26, ono.ono; Russia, t917.ono.0O0; fnlted Kingdom, t?65,000,ono; Austria-Hungary, Hoj.ono.nno; Italy, fJ68.ono.ono; Australia. .lSS.W.n'iO; Egypt, tV40,00n,nno; Argentine.

The stock of gold money In the United States (Including bullion) has, according to these figures, Increased at about tho soma rate as the world's supply, the total quan tity of gold money reported In the United States a decade ago (November, ibf) being $2o.0O0.000, ns against tl, SI 3,000 nno at the present time, the increase during the de cade having thus been about 7 per cent, while the Increase in the world's stock of gold money during that time was, as al ready shown, Hlso about 7 per cent.

As to" what use la being made of that por tion of the world's gold not utilized as currency or as a basis for currency, the abstract quotes a statement from a late re port of the director of the mint, in which he estimates the world consumption of gold In the arts of industries in 1907 at $135,000 000. The table of gold production above re ferred to Is accompanied by similar state ments regarding silver production. The ta ble shows that the coining value of silver produced from the mines of the world since 1492 Is practically equal to that pf the gold produced In that period, $13,000,000,000. The annual production of silver continues slowly and steadily to Increase as to quan tity and coining value, the, production in 1307 being 185,000.000 ounces against 160. 000.000 In 1P97, and the coining value in 1907 being $239,000,000, against $207,000,000 in 1S97. States In commercial values, however, the figures are materially less, the commercial value of the silver produced In 1907 being $122,000,0(0. and that lrtjl907 $26.OnO,00O.

PHASE OFSPORANtRAiECAaE Curious and Remarkable Situation Arises Respecting Finding. WHY ORDER IS HELD UP Two Reasons Advanced ty llnrrl ntan Lines to Be Considered Request Will Probably Aot Be Granted. WASHINGTON. May IT. A curious and remarkable situation has arisen respecting the order of the Interstate Commerce coin mission in the "Spokane rate cane." The commission, which yesterday postponed until July 1 the time when the order shail become effective, wrestled with that cas for rriore than a year. It Involved many Intricate points of law and of railway freight rate-making, and, as' it almost cer tainly would reach the courts eventually for final determination, the commission was at great pains to render a decision that might withstand the Inspection of the re viewing tribunals. The opinion was care fully written by Commissioner Trouty and, by lawyers, it Is regarded as one of the ablest decisions ever handed down by the commission. Based on the opinion, an order was Issued directing the railroads doing business be tween Chicago and St. Paul and the city of Spokane materially to reduce their rates. The order was made applicable not only to the Great Northorn and the Northern Pa cific routes, but also to the I'nlon Pacific, the Oregon Short llne and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company, the Harrlir.an lines. Reason for Action, After tho promulgation tf the order the Harriman lines asked the commission to be relieved from the effect of the order, first, because no direct line leading from Bt. Paul to Omaha was Included In the order, thus rendtring it Impossible for the Harriman Hies, even If they desired, to establish rates from St. Paul, and, second, because the clstance from Chicago to Spo kane by way of the Harriman lines was much greater by about 4n0 miles than from Chlcajro to Spokane by way of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. The Harri man people urged that while the rates fixed by the commlst-ion might bo reasonable over the Northern roads. It would be a hardship to compel them to haul freight 100 miles further at the same rates. t The commission, after a hearing, granted Iet 'em come - wlille tlie I The best air-tight book of snf candy free on CORN HOTEL VICT Broadway, Fff th Avenue Room $1.50 U"0CA PLAN Anfftu, Gordon, Late Mr. of OT QUAXXTY CLOTHES. can't intlulRp votir tastes T-t icat m MCKAJtD K0RRECT SHAPE a temporary suspension of the order ns f.ir i's It affects the Hanlii tin lines, but lcav ing It effective so fai as tlio Great North ti n und Northern TneHe me concerned.
