Ee cists core it is not what a colored delegate at the Chicago Convention called the “zoological moment” for asking a raise of police salaries! Even a small boy might grin at the inauspiciousness of the times for such proposals as Commissioner Waldo sent to the Budget Committee of the Board of Estimate. Pi ; Mr. Waldo recommends doubling his own ealary from $7,500 to $15,000. He thinks his secretary should here $5,000 instead of $5,500, and that his executive clerk should be boosted from $1,800 to $2,400. Then the Commissioner urges a raise of $750 for police ‘ ~ captains, and a lift of from seven to ten per cent. for all patrolmen. Fa ¥ Can the public be blamed for pointing out with such gentleness | §& only as may be compatible with firmness: % That the way to get salaries is to earn them, j g That there is no alarming evidence to show that the police be- 4 { lieve in any such method. if That their mishandling of the Rosenthal case has disgraced this ¥ +, city before the world. i 4 That they cannot even be trusted with the prisoners they tardily i \) secure. That “Lefty Louie” and “Gyp the Blood” are still summering undisturbed. That police eyesight seems to be as dull for an automobile umber in a bright street as it is keen for a bank roll at a back door. ; That many of the force have private means of support substan- tial if not visible. That, in short, any talk from the police at the present moment of a raise of salarics hus all the marks of colossal and brazen cheek. itil WHAT ARE WE COMING TO? isting re in this city is at its lowest ebb in years. A ing preacher from Chicago says “the secularity in this town is something frightful!” He has been telling the Pres- ‘ dyterians at home that they must hustle. “But J declare,” says he, “Chicago has New York beaten on Christian activity and Gospel con- ditions!” What is the matter with us? We thought everything, including , dancing and moving pictures, had been done to make religion lively "4 and attractive hereabouts. What more can we do? Perhaps the Church must enuggle up closer to business if it is to hold its own in Gotham. We recall an old sample of uncommcn prayer, the tenor of which would suit New York to a T. It was i “devised by.a well-to-do early Victorian merchant for his soul’s need, ‘and ran something like this: O Lord, thou knowest that I have nine houses in the City of London, and likewise that I have lately purchased an estate in fee simple in the County of Esser, Lord, I beseech Thee to Pi ja * preserve the two counties of Esser and Middlescz from fires < and earthquakes; and as I have a mortgage in Hertfordshire, I beg Thee likewise to have an eye of compassion on that county.

(The New York World), & No. 38.—ANNE OF AUSTRIA. The “‘Heartless’’ Heart breaker: MAN of sombre, intellectyal countenance, and of fragile, yet stately, figure was dancing and capering about In a highly ludicrous fashion in an anteroom of the Louvre one day {a the first quarter of the seventeenth century. To render his antics more Srotesque he was clad in the flapping scarlet garb of a court joster. As his idiotic dance reached its climax {t was interrupted by a peal of uncontrollable laughter from the other side of a gauzy curtain, The dancer stopped short, glowered in pale fury at the curtain, then stamped from the room. And thus began a feud that well-nigh disrupted the kingdom. For the motley-clad buffoon was no less a personage than His Eminence Jean du Plessis de Richelieu, Prime Minister of France. He had fallen desperately in love (as did many another) with Anne of Austria, the young Queen of France—who hated him. To make a fool of Richelet, and to stop forever his unwelcome adoration, Anne had sent him word that he could best win her heart by dressing In motley and dancing a saraband, Richelieu—great and wise as he was—was fool enough to velieve her. He donne’ the motley and danced the saraband only to find the Queen and all ladies-In-waiting were behind a curtain Iaughing them- selves sick over the silly spectacie. No man likes to be made ridiculous In the eyes of a woman. Nor would anys woman with an atom of sense have risked offending the vengeful and all-powerful Richelieu. From that moment Riohelleu was the Queen's mortal for. For many years thenceforward he m existence a torment for her. Thanks to him she was surrounded by spies; her every act reported and misinterpreted. She was kept virtually a prisoner, and her life {teelf was more than once !mperilied. The price of a ‘Joke’ proved rather higher than she could afford to pay Anne of Austria was the daughter of Philip 111, K she was only fourteen years old, she was married typleal "queen" In looks. But, with one porsinte exception, ed her placid heart to beat an atom faster. After her repulse of Richelieu she met the Duke of Buckingham, foremost nobleman in all England. He was on a diplomatic mission to France and fell erazily in iove with her. The story of Buckingham's he » of Anne of Austria Is vividly (whether accurately or not) told in Dumas's “Three Guards men. Richelleu, meantime, had utterly pofsoned the King's mind against Anne. For more than twenty years Louis searc to her, Puring that time, thanks to Riclelieu, Anne was often in utter penury, was several times exiled, was constantly spled nd was isolated from the society of all her closest friends. Riche accused her of conspiracy with the enemies of France. Not until 1628 was t rtlally reconciled to his beautiful wife, . died, within a few months of Richelleu's own deat! She was appointed Regent during the long minority of her son, Lou's 3 in spite of her late husband's will (dictated by Richelfeu), which had deprived her of all State powers Then it was that Mazarin camo into her Iife. He was a crafty, miserly Italian who had succeeded Richelieu as Prime Minister. It was tke the old fable of the fox succeeding the lon. arin's influence over Anne was boundiess, As she ruled France so he ruled her, He seems to have been as much in love with her as his cold, selfish nature permiited, And she, who had flouted the great Richellcu, the gallant Buckingham, and many another, consented to be come this wily poiltican’s wife.

And that will was Mazarin’s. Thanks to him, Anne a0 mismanaged the kingdom as to bring on civil war, and to cause other national misfortunes before her young son at last took the reine of government out of her plump white hands. She died in 1666, Though Anne was madly devoted to flowers and to perfumes, yet she could not endure the sight or scent of a rose. Once, on accidentally seeing the picture of @ rose, she fainted. Her skin, too, was so sensitive that the touch of any rough or coarse fabric made her shudder. Another of her pecullarities—and this one more readily understood—was her hatred and jealousy for other woman heartbreakers. She exiled several of them from court, and tried once (in vaim) to force the Immortal Ninon de I'Enclos to retire to a convent. : A Pocket Encyclopedia.
