L'dinond Itostand, famous I'rench drnniatlet, died of pneumonia nt 1 30 p. m. todaj lalmond nostand was regarded as the most llhif-trlous representative of the loiiMiitlc school of Trench literature since Victor Hugo He was the Hon of a poet and was born nt itnrselllen on April 1, ISbil Un wag rducated In Mar s illlos Lveeo and tho Co leBe Stanislas In Paris, and In 1S01 he was admitted to V ti ir IiiHtcail o' practleltig his prof. - slon, however, nostand started writing poems and dramas. Ills first volume of verges was -''Lea Musardlses." But this first effort, to RMher with a Becond work, entitled "Pour la Grece," Issued soven jears later, elicited no great praise, although both these volumes displayed a latent talent that augured much for tho youth ful poet. "Les Romanesques," written In verse Itostand's first dramatic undertaking pruVtd his making. It was a sparkling comedy In the rococo stjlo, nnd created a sensation in Purls. "La Princess Loin talne," also In verse, received n like reception when It was produced on tho French stage. In 1897 "Cyrano do Bergerac'" ap peared, and the name of Bostnnd became a household word both In Kurope and this country. Plve hundred performances were given In Paris, with Coquclln as Orano and Madamo Bernhardt as Box. ano. Klchard Manxfluld became famous In tho United States when ho appeared In the leading role. "l.'Alglon" Is another work from the pen of the French genius. "Chantcclcr," his last masterpiece, made a sensation In Kurope nnd tho United States. Itostand, within recent years, en deared hlmseld doubly to tho people of this country by his poems. "Le Chant des Astros" (the "Song of the Stars") whlih is really a chant to the Stars and Stripes This remarkable poem, which is verj long nnd written In rhmlng coup lets, In very colloquial French, was pub lished In L'lllustratlon, a Paris weeklv, on May I, IS 15. It tells how the Kaiser cndeavoied lo Ret tho American flag to flont to the breczo In favor of riermany, but failed In the attempt, even houKh ho tried to act and' dress and behave like an American In his final argument In the poem, Itostand con tended that no human empire could overcome the heavenlv force of what the nag stands for, and the chant concludes with the prophecy that the stars of tho flag will bring victory a prophecy tfiat I has been fulfilled. , . Itostand .was as fortunate In love ns In literature, and had an Interesting ro mance. In early youth he met the girl ho afterward married. Boscmond Ger ard was her namo, and she was oung, gnv. sensible, "blonde like Ophclin, but not so mournful" She wrote verses of her own. Sometimes sho recited them nt Loconte do Llsle's, where young Bostnnd was In tho hnblt of going. Dur ing tho few months whlclnircceded their marriage the congenial tastes and temperaments of the two oung people drew them together In n delightful In tercourse, of which they have both writ ten, Mmc, nostand In "Plpeaux" and M.
