'Tis whispered twas sun-up when the last lay of the wandering minstrels were heard in the | bollow halls. As usual, Miss Ethel Hager scored a gigantic hit, as did Allan Dunn and Al- fred McKinnon in a skit called “Three's {a Crowd.” But the stunt that moved the house to ructions was the three-handed solo by Charles J.

The French creditors’ only hepe is that Em- peror Francis Joseph, to aveid scandal, will pay off the Archduchess’ debts to foreigners, leaving the Austro-Hunga- rian creditors to whistle for their money. The despoiled Frenchmen are holding meetings of protests, writing dunning letters to the Austrian Emperor and making themselves generally disagree- {able, for they refuse to believe that the imperial speculator is quite such a babe In- financial matters as the Aus- trian court represents her. The credi- tors vow that the Archduchess must have percelved years ago that her building- operations in Budapest would résult in a dead loss of " $1.000,000.. Therefore she should have curtailed her extravagant personal expenses. they wail, even if she was bound. to push to the end her disastrous speculations on the Stock Exchange.
