Sin JOHN'S ODD MEMORIAL TO BYRON.
Ta'kinc of memorials, another on*, of a strar.ga
r.ature. lias lately been erected to the memory of
the poet Bj-ron. Instead, however, of taking- tba
form of a statue. it assumes the altogether utili
tarian Fliape of an offlc* buildlne, occupying the
■it* of the old offices of "Pencil." SSI the south
*:<1« of Fieet street. In I^ondon. near St. Bride's
Ctrsrch. it has been rai«ed to the memory of th«
Toet by on- of his most ardent admirer*, old Sir
John Tollemarhe Sinc;air. one of whose sons mar
red a daughter of Mahlon Sands, of New York.
Plr .Town's grandson. Archibald Sinclair. n»*t heir
in tlm l>aron<-try. being therefore a nephew of
"William K. Vanderbilt. »r.
Th«- offl-. iniiMir.^. which brlnpa in a !arge In
rosse to Mr John by •way of rental, is of the most
«xiraor«3!nary construction. On every stone of the
ha!! rav#>mrnt is inscribed "Byron, the Pilgrim of
F.ternity.- with the dates of his birth and. death.
Kaon "1«> lit adorned with the words "CiweYs
r.yron." while on every plague of marble lining;
the wra~3s are verses from Us poems, particularly
F-anzas from ICUUa Harold" and -Don Juan."
And, SB if Byron'n work* were not sufficient, other
inscriptions on the wall* record the opinions con
cerning him rxpreßsed by such men as Schiller.
«ineth*. Victor Hugo. I^martlne. Tennyson
Oiateaubriand. Rir V.'alter Scott and Matthew
Arnold. Another Inscription proclaims that the
>tritip!i Museum library catalogue devotes twenty
'lght pares to Byron ana only ten to Tennyson
On another ptone, Sir John records the fa. that
«-n. •■liiion for the Mind has been published of
Ufa— Hi works, but none of Tennyson*. Over the
entrance is a beautiful medallion of Byron in white
marble, with ■helley's splendid epitaph. "The Pil
grim of Kternity." an i I need hardly say that the
office, building bears the name of "Byron House "
One would be Jikely to imagine that the over
«h«!rr.l!ig quantity of B; ronic quotaUoiiP. adorn-
Jrg as they do every vacant space, every stone and
tile of wails, floor and 'celling, would get on the
rx-rvrs of • m occupants, but apparently this la not
the case, for the building is full of tenant*, and Is
a very handsomely paying proposition. Sir John
■JftO is an extremely prolific poet on his own a- -
count, and who some time ago devoted a large
•Jm of money to furnishing all the workhouses of
the United Kingdom with phonographs and records
"f his recitations of his own works, has been
however, modest enough to put only a single, one
ef Ills own verses on the walls of Byron House,
It is cs follows:
r«r o'er all hard., thy fame dear Byron ever towers
«Ur Starr wanted not -though wanting v -r. to wSj?
And beneath there is an Intimation that this Mt
of rhyme, such as it is. is from the pen of "Sir
John To'.lrmaehe Sinclair. Bart . who had erected
the building to the memory and glory of Byron."
■M Incidentally as a very well paying investment
for himself. I am sorry to say. however, that Mr
John's verses do not appeal to his employes, for
cat) of the elevator men. on being asked about
them, remarked, confidentially. "It 1* the only bit
of poetry In the whole place, except the foreign
J)>C6. that I cannot understand."
BLOW TO THE PARIS SEASON.
Half the Faubourg St. Germain has been pla-0.1
la mourning at the very outset of the Parisian
«ea«o:. by the death of the eldest son and heir
Sf the. I>uc de la Rochefoucauld Doudeauvllle, who
J.as succumbed to peritonitis at his country plac«
<■? Bonnetable (Sarthei. Although he bore the
Spaiiish title of Due d'Estrees, with which was
associated a graxideN?sh!p of the first class of Spain.
li» was more widely known as the Vicomte de la
Jiorhefoucauld. especially to American sportsmen,
who knew him as the principal representative of
l'olo In France and a» the founder and president
of the l > arm Polo Club. He was passionately fond
<>f polo and of hunting, and was extremely popu
lar both in the noble Faubourg and In French
society generally, being utterly devoid of arro
gance and superciliousness. By his marriage to
Prlr.cers Charlotte de la Tremoullle he 1« avca only
one daughter. Marguerite de la Rochefoucauld,
mho mr.de her debut last year.
His younger brother. Annar.d. therefore becomes
her to the titles and large estates of the Doudcau-
Sflsa branch of the great French house of La
ttochefoueauld. Armar.d Is known as the Due de
Hisaccia, the latter being a Neapolitan title, and
*ome. years ago aroused a good deal of criticism
by marrying Princess Louise Radziwlll. for al
though the latter bore an historic name, her
mother is a daughter of the founder of the gam-
Ming tables at Monte Carlo, of which her father.
Prince Oonstamlne Radxiwill. the least desirable
member of his house, is to this day one of the part
proprietors. Allied as the l.a Rochefoucauld* are
with all the grandest houses of the French pa
triciate, considerable indignation was expressed
that Armand should have so little regard for his
relatives and far his name an to wed the grand
daughter at-d heiress of the wicked old Blar.c.
Th« Rochefoucauld family was founded In
th* tenth century by a pajecajar son of Sir* de
T<uslgcaTi. His Christian name was Foucauld. and
h»vi!< the castle of De la »K»ch* In the Charente.
he styled it La Roche-Foucauld. from which his
<>»f,.nd«rta have taker* th«ir ninw. His heir sU

a noble <T sufficient importance! to be. invited to

to the throne lie. created hla sponsor a count.

family possesses no less than six French dukedoms

•1 K«tlssttc of Dou^eauvMe and of Rocheguyon;
th» title of Prince de Maielllaf. th« Spanish Duke

mnjairw PESTEREH BY cranks.
Hoard's «n OH Old V.'orld are to such an extent
Mste/ed by cranks that all the ingenuity of their
•alace jolic-e Is rcviired to protect th«a rrom p«e
pie of this kind, some of whom are harmless and
others dangerous, but all of t'.iem nuisances.
Scarcely a day passes when the sovereign Is in his
capital without some more or less crazy individual
or other endeavoring to obtain access to his pres
ence, and their visitations are of such frequency
that there Is seldom any public mention made
thereof. This is particularly th© case In London
and at Berlin, and. under the circumstances, some
surprise will doubtless have been caused by the
dispatches cabled to this country announcing, first
of all. that a lunatic, disguised In the regimentals
of a dragoon officer, had been arrested while mak
ing his way Into the royal palace at Berlin, and
that at a state concert a couple of days later one
of the members of the orchestra had suddenly lost
hia reason and endeavored to get at the Kaiser.
There is no more common form of insanity than
that which causes its victims to become imbued
with the belief that they are related In some way
or another to the anointed of the Lord, and most
of the cranks taken into custody while endeavoring
to obtain admittance to th royal palace insist that
they are among the nearest and dearest kinsfolk
of the illustrious occjpants. They not only haunt
the palaces until arrested, hut likewise dog the
movements of the monarc'i. and the most elaborate
measures have to be devised by tho police in order
to shield the royal personages from their atten
tions. There are male cranks, for instance, who
profess to be in love with the Empress, at Berlin,
and with the Queen and her daughters, In London,
and female cranks who are Infatuated with King
Edward and th« Kaiser. Some of them insist that
they are the brothers and MM. rs and others the
children of their majesties, and the stories which
they have to tell are of the most extraordinary de
scription.
At Berlin, as In London, the practice Is to con
sign them quietly to the public lunatic asylums,
where they either remain as permanent Inmates, or
else am permitted to go free after undergoing a
f<*tr:!ght of medical observation, the enforced de
tention serving as a salutary warning.
Whenever possible, the palace police— that is to
*ay, those more, particularly Intrusted with the
responsible duty of protecting royalty— are warned
beforehand of the daily itinerary of the sovereign,
and in that case detectives are stationed at certain
points along the route, end also at nil the spots
where the royal equipages are likely to stop. These
police have had Impressed upon them the necessity
not only of preventing all cranks from approaching
their majesties, but also Of avoiding any fuss.
Emperors and empresses, kings and queens, nnd
princes and princesses of the blood do not relish
the notion of being shadowed by the police, even
when the shadowing is done for their cwn protec
tion. They resent it. moreover, as nn imputation
on their popularity, and therefore the police are
compelled to conceal as far as possible from their
charges the fact that th« latter have any risk to
run. either small or great. It Is an exceedingly
trying and responsible service, demanding much
sagacity, intelligence and self-restraint, for the po
lice know full well that the man who perhaps once
in his life has had the KOOd lurk to throw up the
arm of the reglcldal crank In the act Of firing his
pistol will receive far more honor and recognition
than the man who has arrested the assailant be
fore be had time to aim his gun and who has
over and over again preserved the royal personages
in question from any trouble and harm without
their knowing anything about It.

Es-Presidcnt of France Empires
Suddenly at Paris.
Paris, March 12— M. casimlr-Perier. ex-Pres
ident of France, died suddenly at It o'clock last
night from embolism of the heart, at his home
In the Rue Nitot, here. The news of his death
ivas not published until this morning. The ex-
Preßidcnt had not been well for two or thre«
days, hut it was supposed he was suffering:
from influenza and no greac importance was at
tached to hla indisposition. He was not con
fined to his bed, and dined with his family on
Sunday, and was in good spirits. About 5 o'clock
yesterday evening an abrupt change occurred.
Dr. Landouzy was called and gave injections of
morphine to the patient, who <iM not awake
until 10 o'clock. He was very weak, and died
M CASIMIR-PERIKR.
Ex-rresldent of France, who died Monday night.
an hour later. All the members of the family,
with the exception of hla sister, the Countess de
Segur. vero with him when he expired.
President Fallleres, Premier Clemenceau. mem
bers of the aristocracy in Paris, iho diplomatic
corpp. Senators, Deputies and the lemilng offi
cials this morning sent th^ir condolences «>r
signed the register at iho home of the ex-l'res
ident.
The Cabinet met at noon, and decided on a na
tional funeral, but the family of M. Casimir-
Perler declined the honor, In accordance with
the wishes of the ex-President.
The Senate and the Chamber of Deputies ad
journed as a mark of respect.
Jean Paul PWr» Cas!inlr-Pcri«»r was born In
Paris on November 8, 1847. He belonged to a fam
ily long prominent In France, although of com
paratively humble origin.
His great-great-grandfather was a notary of
Qrenoble, The notary's son, Jacques, a tradesman
of Lyons, was able to bequeath to his mm Claud«
a fortune* of 625.000 francs. This Porter— the name
was not then hyphenated— a longheaded and dar
ing speculator, enormously Increased h!s inherited
capital In the troublous days before the Revolu
tion. With part of it he purchased th<> stately
Chateau do Vlsilto. After tho Terror ho went to
Pnris, h'-jj^.i to found the Hank of France ana
sat In the <"orps Ltglslatlf.
K'Kht sons survived him, fho two elder of whom
berarne peers of France, tho third rivalled his
father In commercial sagacity, while the fourth
son. Caeimlr, was destined to establish the political
fortunes of the family on a Htm prouder baa than
before. A riant In fram<\ with a voice of thunder,
eloqwiit but bitter, ooarse to brutality in manner,
h" played a considerable i>nrt In the Opposition
after t:.<> Restoration. Of itrong but honorable
ambition, he ro*« to the part of President Qf the
Council under IVmis Philippe. Ha was supposed
to nave m aght the infection on a visit to the
Cholera Hospital In 1833 with the Duo d'Orleans.
He was treated for that and for various other ail
ments that the treameat Induced, and when he
was dead it was discovered that his original 111
n«ss had been due simply to overexertion.
• 'aslmir left two *..v.». pan] and August*. The
latter, who was the younger, adopted tho baptismal
name, of his father as part of his surname, and was
known as Augusta Caslmir-Perier. Both brothers
entered politics, but t'i« younger became tho more
distinguished. Holding aloof from public, affairs
during th« Third Empire, In 1872 he supported M.
Tbiera, who made him Minister of the Interior.
He died in !«■:•;, and his son. j»»an Paul Pierre, suc
ceeded to the greater share of both his political
reputation and his material estate. The Chateau
do Ylzille ptlll remained in the family, but the
future. President favorite home was always tho
Chateau de Pont-sur-H, me, which was much more
convenient of access from Paris.
Jean Paul Pierre was educated nt the French
capital and received a degree In literature and
history at the. Sorbonne. In the war with Germany
he served as a captain In the Mobiles d"Aub«\ tii^
department which his father had represented at
the outset of his political career. In 1849. The
young officer was mentioned In general orders for
having rescued a wounded comrade, under heavy
fire, In a skirmish in front of the. redoubt of Moulin
Baquet. For this act be received ulsc the decora
tion of the legion of Honor.
From October, IS7I. until February, JST2, he acted
as his father's secretary hi the Ministry of the In
larior. In is 74 the elder CaMmlr-Perler. who had
resigned his portfolio In IS7S and had resumed it
two years later, only to go out again In a few
days with the T/iiers administration, presented his
son to the electors of N'ogent-sur-Seino as a can
didate for the Chamber "f Deputies. His election
followed by a vote of 1,907 to HO. He was re
elected In 1876. and In 1877 ho was on« of the MS
deputies who refused to give the ministry Of the
Duo «i« Broßlie a vote of confidence. Dissolution
followed, and M. Caslmlr-Perler was a third time
elected to the Chamber. Under the new govern
ment be received his first public office as Under
Secretary of BUte for Public Instruction, Worship
and Fine Arts, a post which he held until the re
tirement of the Dofaura Cabinet In 1K79. Hitherto
M. i aalmlr-Perier hud been a member of the Left
< "litre, but h« now definitely cast In his lot with
the Republican Left, His constituency of Nogent
sur-Seino returned him to Iho Chamber for the
fourth time, tit IML Soon afterward a law waa
pjtased excluding from all civil and military offices
all the member* of the families which had ruled
over France. M. Casimlr-Perler thereupon re
signed from the Chamber on the ground that ho
found it Impossible, to reconcile his political senti
ments with his family duty. This was an act well
calculated to make, a favorable impression on Ihe
voters of Nogent-sur-Selne, who immediately re
elected him.
In ISS3, during the Ferry Ministry, ho wan ap
pointed Under Secretary of State for War. It was
the most important post that ho had at that time
h«ld; and when he resigned It. as a protest against
the agitation for th.» expulsion of tho Orleans
princes ( his act aroused a temporary distrust of his
loyalty to th« republic in epite. of his consistently
logical Republican career. Several years later,
when the Royalists offered him an exalted position
in return for hta allegiance to their party, he
proved his stalwart republicanism by indignantly
rejecting their proposal and Baying that he would
rather be a citizen la a republic than v duke In a
kingdom.
In 1886 lie was chosen a Deputy for the Depart
ment of Aul.e. and two years later Nogent-sur-
Seln* again returned him. In 1890 he became Vice-
President of the Chamber,^ and was twice re
elected to that office. In November, 1893, he was
made President of the Chamber of Deputies, and
a fortnight later he became Prints Minister. In
the following spring his ministry went out of
power, through its failure to receive a vote of con
fidence, but M. Caslmlr-Perler was promptly '
chosen President of the Chamber, and was holding
that office when President Carnot was assassinated,
in Julie. IBM.
On the 37th day of the same month he was
elected President of the Republic, by the National
Assembly at Vrrsslllas. only one ballot being neces
sary. M. ml r- Purler received 451 votes, against
IK for M. lirlsson. his closest rival.
Some of the new Presidents first public acts
made an excellent popular impression. His walking
alone and unguarded in th« streets on the day
after hi* election, and other evidences of his free
dom from personal fears at that time of serious dis
quiet, aroused a feeling of great cordiality on the
part of the people. Mo was greeted with cheers
and crowds pressed around him to take him by the
hand. This favorable Impression was Increased
when he was seen following on foot the coffin of
tils murdered predecessor. But public sentiment
soon underwent a change— least In Paris. In
October, when h« visited "the Longchamps races,
his reception by the populace was decidedly chilly.
Both us a member of the government and as
President of the Chamber. M. Caslmlr-Perier had
Impressed every one as being an energetic, hard
working servant of the people, influenced solely by
a sense of honor. His anti-socialist and antl-radl
cal views were well known, and it was felt that
the country would be safe In his conservative
hands. But in spite of his triumphant majority
there were soon indications that his tenure pf of
fice was likely to be beset with difficulties. M.
Cai'.mir-Perler foresaw tbeae impending troubles
even before hia election, and was reluctant to allow
nis name to be put forward as a candidate. "I do
not yet feel ready to undertake such a mission. '
was his reply to the urging of his friends. This
interview took place in the presence of nis mother.
ily son." she is reported to have said at this re-
Pjy, "when it is a question of duty, and perhaps
also of danger, a Casimlr-Perier should always be
ready." These words of proud reproach carried, the
day, and her son answered: "It is well said. I ac
cept."
The e\-ent proved that his own sense of uapre
p?r £. eas was a better guide than the admonition
o. his parent. The newspapers of the day offered
many reasons for his forsaking his trust only
seven months after taking office. The general reel
ing was that If M. Castmir-Pcrier had really been
trie strong man he was believed to be up to that
time he would have remained at his post.
It was evident to most politicians when Henri
Brisson was re-elected President of the Chamber
of Deputies that M. Casimlr-Perier would find the
situation Intolerable. M. Brtsson a Radical, was
not expected to be in sympathy with the conserva
tive views of M. Casimir-Perier. But the President
of the Republic, it was believed, would dissolve the
Chamber of Deputies and appeal to the country-
There were no predictions made that he would so
abruptly resign.
M. Caslmir-Perler married. In 1873. his second
cousin. Mile. Helene Perier. daughter of Edouard
Perler, who held th« post of Master of Requests
to the Council of State. There were two children
born to them— a son. Claude, in 1880. anil a daugh
ter, Genevleve, in 1882.
Besides his inherited wealth, M. Casimir-Perier
derived a handsome, income from a cloth weaving
factory located, oddly enough, in the old ancestral
Chateau de Vizllle. He was also largely interested
in coal properties.
After his retirement from the presidency, M.
Caaimir-Perier did not again enter public life. He
belonged to no clubs, having resigned from the
Union Club when he publicly espoused a republican
form of government. ' He «lld not smoke. He was
fond of his children, always rising In time to see
them before they started for school, and he always
reserved the noonday dejeuner for a quiet hour
With his family. Personally M. Casimir-Perier was
tall and dark. His bearing was erect, and his face
close shaven, save for a rather heavy mustache.
Short, dark hair, brushed back from an ample
forehead, bushy eyebrows, compressed Hps ai;il a
prominent nose gave him a resolute aspect.

THE DBAMA.
MB. MAHSFHIDS SEASON.
The most important dramatic proceedings now
before the public, in this city, are those of Mr.
Mansfield, mho la acting at th« New Amsterdam
Theatre, in Mr Ibsen's strung©, delusive, and
evanescent play of "Peer Oynt." Mr .Mansfield
has borne, with extraordinary fortitude. th» heavy
burden of that piece— which, considered as a drama,
Is about as bad as anything can possibly be— and
he Is becoming; weary of. the thankless and nerve
shattering exertion that It compel*. That exertion,
obviously. Is great, because the actor Is obliged to
animate a considerable mass of fantasies and va
pors. Much nonsense has been published, about
omissions that have been made from Mr. Ibsen's
sacred "poem." The fact is that Mr. Mansfield
has retained. In his theatrical version, every Blired
of th^ original composition that possibly could be
made effective on the stage. Much blather, of
course, has happily been omitted— in a mad
house, etc.; and. possibly, that conjectural scene,
in Which Peer goes over Niagara Falls in a canoe,
and. when half, way down the cataract, rows back
ward to the river above. An actor who can carry
such stuff as there Is in "Peer Gynt." and make
it dramatically effective— as Mr. Mansfield does, in
so far as human ability can do It— shows an ad
mirable proficiency in Ills art; r.nd the actor might
well be spared the carplngs of thosa flittering
zanies who exist only for the purpose of finding
fault with persona who are. at least, trying to do
something. The piece will be acted every night this
week, and an afternoon performance of it will be
given on Saturday. March 23, in response to an eager
demand from a singularly interested public: wonder
ful It la to consider how easily tha public ran be
stimulated to interest In anything that seems to
savor of novelty. There la not, in all the works of
Mr. Ibren. one thought that has not been expressed
by other writers before his time, and much better
expressed than it has been by him: but the Nor
wegian has been made a Fad, first in London—
among "The Souls"— and then here— among the
imitators of "The Souls." and numberless moon
eyed persons think that they think that they have
found what they suppose to bo "new thought." in
him chiefly the new thought that it is good to do
as you please, without regard to what you ought
to do. That, however, la aside from the matter of
Mr Mansfield's success. No one else on our stage,
at this time, could have made such a subject as
"Peer Gynt" even partially tolerable. Mr. Mans
field has done everything that could be done with
an explicitly undramatlc and obfuscatory theme;
and he ought to have the thanks instead of the im
pertinence of those juvenile squeaks, who Imagine
that they represent Brutus alongside of his tripod,
and therefore have been reviling him for "desecrat
ing" Ibsen. A3 if there could be any desecration in
abridging nonsense. Mr. Mansfield will change
tho bill at the New Amsterdam Theatre next Mon
day night, and he will devote his last week to
plays selected from h'.s repertory. It Is under
stood that the demand for seats for bis last ap
pearance as Gynt la very large.— particularly from
young women. Mr. Mansfield is si remarkable
actor ami everything he does la Interesting and
worthy of being seen and studied. W. W.
