Olhe word3 of Lafrenlere's "Declaration, 1' which the Spanish authorities thoufcht thus to consume, were not less bold than those of Jefferson. "The solidity! of thrones," he wrote, "Is in proportion Ito the extent 'oCcommerce and populatloln.

It was in the support of his principle on which the Constitution! of the Unit ed States wa3 afterwards ased that on .Oct. 25, 17G9, Nicholas ChAuvin de La 'freniere, with his associates In the at tempt to establish the Arlst American republic, Joseph Mllhet, Plfcrre Markuls, -Jean Baptiste Noyan an 1 Pierre Ca resse, were executed as re i?ols and trai tors against Frnnceand !

It Is remarkable that full Justice Is' done to the revolutionists only by their enemies. The scope of their statesmanship was more 'fully appreciated In the cabinet of the King of Spain than It has been In America, either In their own genera tion or In this. When after, the expul sion 6f the Spanish governor, Don An tonio de Ulloa, and the establishment of th& "Superior Council" as the power In tht civil government of Louisiana, the King of Spain called for the advice of hm ministers, asking them to give their arguments for and against the abandonment of Spanish claims to the control of tlie colony, the Count Arnn da, then reckoned the ablest statesman of Spjaln, directed his argument almost wholly, not against the possibilities of Frenfch re-oe'eupaffbn of the colony, but ngalist the consequences of the estab lishment of an Independent American republic. What he says, as It Is record ed In1 the state papers of Spain1, may be takort as a sufficient vindication of the revolutionists and as the most authen tic cjfllclal definition of their motives. In the written statement which he sub mitted to the royal council on March 22, 1769, Count Aranda says, after re viewing the treaty of cession from France to Spain and commenting on the (value of Louisiana as a colony. "The insurrection at New Orleans seenjs to be an object of the greatest Importance, not only for the reasons whlth have been expressed above, but on account of its consequences. Its situation in the Gulf of Mexico; Its be ing lalrcady as It were, a European towi(i by its population and Its being concerted into a free port which no doutyt would be the case, would attract thither larire numbers from Eurnne: and) considering that a republic In Louisiana would be Independent from all European powers, It would then be- conie the Interest of all to keep on I tern is of amity with her, and to support her existence. The favorable position In which Louisiana would then be plai ed, would not only increase her population, but also cnlaigc her limits, and transform her Into a rich, flourish ing and free state in sight of our pro vinces, which would present the melan choly contrast of exhaustion and want of cultivation. From the example un der their eyes, the inhabitants of our vas t Mexican domains would .be led to con alder their utter want of commerce, Ml WD AY WE CLOSE AT B P.

Hagen, 17 Lackawanna Ave. ' : L'JTION TO SPANISH OCCUPA WHO LED A BRAVE EF see that a province, weuk when com pared wlth'thelr extensive and populous country, can make good her position with Impunity and secure her prosper ity." v After this remarkable and prophetic declaration, that the superior prosper-5 ity and happiness of the people of Louisiana under Republican govern ment would result In the loss to Spain of Its crown colonies in America, Count Aranda recommended that the full military power of Spain be exerted to crush the revolutionists and prevent the establishment of the contemplated republic. No higher tribute has beeen paid to the motives of Lnfreniere and his associates, unless Indeed It was the fusilade from Spanish muskets with which Count O'Reilly attempted to make Impossible forever the Republi can prosperity and happiness which Count Aranda had prophecled as the cause of the future loss of Mexico. The story of Lafrenlere as a revolu tionist and republican conspirator which ended for the time blng with his execution under O'Reilly, began' when, as attorney general of the colony under Louis XV (the "Well-Beloved"), he read the letter In which the king announced to Governor L'Abbadle that France had abandoned North America to England and Spain. After telling the governor of the "private act passed at Fontalnbleau on Nov. 3, 1762," the king continued that of his own free will, he had "ceded to his very dear and well-beloved cousin, the King of Spain, and to hlsi successors and heirs, In full property completely and with out reserve or restriction, all the coun try known as Louisiana, and also New Orleans, with the Island on which It is situated." Ho commanded Governor Governor L'Abbadle to put Spain in full possession, but the governor, after living long enough to witness the grief of the colonists at the abandonment by France of its magnificent empire in America, and to feel the Indignation they felt "ns being bartered away as marketable objects," died on Feb. 4, 1765, five months after he had pub lished the royal letter. The control of Louisiana as a royal colony, was vested at the time not only In the governor who commanded the military, but in a "superior council" which had a large share In the admin M" R. BAYARD H. TYLER, tho well- known New York artist, whoso superb portraits of Colonel and Mrs. H. M. Boles have been such a de light to their friends, was In the city this week, ns the guest of Mrs. R. J. Benneli. Mr. Tyler has Just completed an oil portrait of the late J. J. Al bright, which Is in every way, a re markable success. The likeness is bln gularly perfect a fact the more Inter esting, since the only available photo graph of Mr. Albright was n small curd, not considered particularly fulthful as a portrait, and from which much of tho distinctive character had faded during the years that have elapsed since it was taken. Mr. Tyler has a definite genius In painting subjects in middle life and old age, not that he is less clever in the portrayal of youth, but that his repre sentations of elderly people contain something more than fidelity of like ness'. The portrait of Mr. Albright, for Instance, seems to have In it the con served forces of nil the past which went to make up this distinguished early citizen of Scranton. It is not the pic ture merely of a man whose years are slipping Into (he nutumn of life, but one whofao keen, frank gaze, whose strong lines of character betoken n "captain of industry," an organizer, one who led In laying tho suro founda tions of American Industries and pro gress. Teople who knew Mr. Albright well are btruck with the exceptional skill of tho artlBt In producing the real man In this portrait with the strength of his personality. Few of Mr. Albright's early friends remain. One of these sat long before tho canvas the other even ing and, lost In recollections, ns he gazed Into the eyes meeting his, fell unconsciously to speaking to the man In the picture, us if he were truly there, listening happily to the familiar tones. It wus only with an effort that the visitor could re-ndjust his point of view und coming back to the present, realize that long, long ago the smiling eyes had closed In the dust of the val ley, and that he only of his generation (was left. Mrs, Hennell and Mrs. James Arch bald are entirely snthlled with their father's portrait, and Mrs. Benneli , soon have It placed In the public library, for this, a gift of hers, is an other memorial of a good man, and Is an additional mark of generosity to Scranton from a family whoso mem bers have done much for their native city. It will be hung In the hall, near the broad staircase, where an excellent light Is to be secured. The technique of the painting Is like all Mr. Tyler's later work, wcll-nlgh (lawless. It has a breadth of treatment, combining the very best In this style, with none of tho tricks of haste which cheapen the value of much present clay work of even most distinguished painters. It Is this beau tiful conscientiousness, this effect of being the best possible work of the artist that appeals to the 'thoughtful obsnrVer.

In the revo lution which followed, this council took the place of the hotiso of burgesses In the Virginia revolution, and that of the various assemblies In the first move ments of revolution In the New Eng land colonics, The republican move ment In Louisiana, however, was unique In that It was headed by the king's at torney genernl, who, when he found tho liberties of Louisiana opposed by tho kings both of France and Spain, at tempted to lead the people of the col ony Into revolt against both. Lafre nlere( who thus lakes his placoln his tory ns the first republican of the first American revolution, was by birth nn American, sprung from the pame class which afterwards produced Jackson and Lincoln. Onyarre writes that he was a native of Louisiana, nnd of an obscure family; that his father was a "poor Ca nadian who had followed Bienville to Louisiana" and. had there "by dint of Industry" obtained means enough to send his son to be educated In France. This statement has been challenged by a commentator, who writes "Nicholas Chauvln dc Lafrenlero was of a noble family, as Is proved by his title," but the Spanish Governor Ulloa, In his re port of the revolution, declares that La frcnlere's father was a Canadian, one of four brotheis, whose family name was Leroy," of so low an extraction and of so little education that they could not write, and had come, nxe on shoulder, to live by manual labor." These four brothers changed their name? in Louisiana, and were known as Lafrenlere, Lery, Beaulleu and Chau vln. "The sons of these are now chiefs and authors of the rebellion," adds Ul loa, in attempting to demonstrate that the spirit of revolt had originated with the lower classes. The son of the Ca nadian axeman had made such good use of his opportunities, that he was the leading orator and lawyer of the colony", and the king's attorney general, with an almost supreme control In the up per council, when on July 10, 1765, Don Anjonlo do Ulloa wrote from Havana that he had reached that place on his way to New Orleans to take possession of the colony for his "Most Christian Majesty." This letter forced a rapid develop ment of the movement which had be gun spontaneously on- the. publication of the letter written by the King of France to Governor L'Abbadle. Imme diately after the publication of that letter, a convention had been called at New Orleans. Held in 1765, Its delegates were chosen from the parishes of lower Louisiana, and It was one of the first delegate conventions resulting spon taneously from tho people In the terri tory which now forms the United States. Its leading spirits were Lafre nlere, Pierre Marquis, Balthasar Mas san, Jean Baptiste Noyan, and tho brothers Jean and Joseph Milhet. The former, who was the wealthiest merch ant of the colony, was chosen as a rep resentative of the people of the colony nnd sent to Franco to urge the ministry to recede from the treaty with Spain. As a consequence of the cession to England which accompanied that to Spain, the unfortunate French inhabit ants of Acadia, who had been expelled by England, were now beginning to ar rive in Louisiana, and the spectacle of their misery after their long Journey from Nova Scotia, excited the feeling of revolt to a still higher pitch, and it was kept Intense before Ulloa's arrival by the presence of English war vessels in the Mississippi, and by their habit of firing their guns in "salute" when parsing New Orleans. by Mr. Tyler, who could do rare justice to that mujestic head, with Its beauty of contour and leonine poise.

V IEWS OF A WOMAN T O THE average man, getting mar ried under any circumstances would bo a serious enough busi ness without daring to be avDanlel and beginning matrimony In a den of lions. A young person who was looking on at that preposterous ceremony the other day at the Elks' carnival, remarked In awed tones: "Think of 11! Getting married, and the lions thrown in!" Another remarked that there fire some women who would be married in a nebt of rattlesnakes If a prize of a tin dipper nnd a kitchen range were offered, while another speaker declared that a man who would marry a woman who would many a man In a lion's cage must have nerve. A very young man, was heard to connde seriously to a friend that he'd awfully hate to get married, but if it was a choice between marriage or going Into a lion's cage, he would chance mat rimony. The funny part of that lion's cage wedding was that the romantic couple and the sensational clergyman were as safe as if they had been in a dog's kennel along with three young puppies whose eyes as yet were unopened upon a wicked und unregenerate world, or were sitting in a basket full of kittens. Old and experienced animal trainers know very well that lions are great cowards and that, they never attack anyone In a cage. A tiger is another breed of cats, but a lion is so spectacu lar In his make-up that he deceives al most all the people all the time and they quake at the very thought of being in the same block. Hence, the lion Is a very useful animal for the showman and as long as there arc enough Idiots In the world to bo willing to help nd vertlse the show by making a travesty of a rite, popularly believed to be sol emn. Why, some of the wise ones even assert that Dnnlel was In no sort of danger when he performed that noted feat In animal taming. About one-half the people who saw that ceremony the other afternoon be lieve that the bride and groom belong to the show and had probably married each other, or somebody else, more or less frequently every season. That white pique dress with stitched laven der Inset pieces and that yard square bridal veil were too good to be truly brldey. However that may be, It seemed' sacrlllglous to hear words usually considered sacred pronounced under Buch circumstances by a min ister of the gospel. Perhaps it was no worse than some of the spectaculnrper formnnccs in the churches, when the bride Is stared at by a curious, gaping throng, through which run hnlf-audlble comments about the endowment of all his worldly goads by the groom, and tho question of whether she means it when she promises to obey, but it Is less startling because we are used to the spectacle.

Mr. Dreyer lias been for five years a favorlto pupil of William F. Whit ney, of the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston, having also had tho ndvdntngo of Mr. Whitney's personal help while studying In Italy under Vannuccln and In Germany under Stockhausen. Mr. Dryer has a strong, rich baiitono voice of unusual range nnd quality and has al ready achieved w ell-met Itcd success, de lighting many critlrnl New England audl onces with his well trained volco and artistic renditions. Mr. Dreyer was a successful competitor In tho School of Opera under Slgnor Blmboni and other teachers of tho New England conserva tory and has nlso met with great suc cess In this woik. Scrantonlans will doubtless take advnntaga of this oppor tunity of hearing Mr. Dreyer and greet him on Tuc&dny evening with a full house. Charles If.

He has met with great success as a pianist and accompanist, nnd Is under engagement for a tour of tho states dur ing the coming season as accompanist to Electa GlfTord, tho well known soprano. Miss Margaret Shear, daughter of F. W. Shear, of this city, who became fa vorably known whllo on a concert tour with Carl Dufft and otheis last summer, which embraced tho principal cities of Northern Pennsylvania and Ct-ntral New York, has decided to enter tho comic opera field, nnd Is at present with Sam Schubert's "Chtneso Honeymoon" com pany, playing nt tho Casino. Miss Shear was a successful contestant for n posi tion In tho famous "Florodora' scxtotto, when tho original company wus engaged at tho Casino; but nftcr being celccted was obliged to decline tho engagement on account of lllnes3. Sho subsequently joined "Tho Toicador" company and ap peared with that ttoupo until tho close of Its season at tho Knickerbocker theater. Miss Shear is u mezzo soprano of much nblllty, possesses unusual . attractions in tho way of personality and 'vocal cul ture, and hop progress up tho ladder of fame will doubtless be rapid.

Into this "Greek lceuder" hns been packed nil sorts of delightful und al most unknown specimens of tho liter ature of ancient Greece, such as fables, fairy tales, stories, etc., nilnpted for young people. There are also examples of the work dono by tho pupils of the Grneco-Homan school somo twenty cen turies ago. Tho following, for Instance, is the ac count of his dally routine work by a Iloman schoolboy; Ho writes; "I wake up before sunrise, leave my bed, sit down with my straps and shoes and put on my shoes, Then water for wash ing Is brought to me. I wash first my hands, then my fare, take off my night cap, put on my undergurment, anoint and comb my hair, arrange my neck cloth, put on a white paper garment and wrapper. Then I leave my bed room, together with my tutor and my maid, salute my father and mother and leave the house." The mixture of Spar tan ubstlnence In leaving home with out a breakfast, and of the altogether un-Spartun luxury of an attendant, tutor nnd maid Is suggestive.
