Kings By Their Own Decree In Quest For Sandal Empire Failures
Paris reporters recount a string of French empire founders in the 19th century, led by M Lebaudy’s quest on Africa’s west coast. Notable pretenders included Comte Raousset Bourbon who led a deadly Mexican assault, Count de Mayrena who proclaimed Marie I in Siam Annam border, Antoine-Orelle I emperor of Patagonia, and Antoine Bonaventure of Breil who fleeced investors with Port Breton colonization schemes. Each ended in ruin or imprisonment as nations, seas, and markets mocked their ambitions.

Hamlet Statue to Rise on Kronborg Castle Grounds
Three centuries after Shakespeare conceived Hamlet in 1603 the Danish town of Elsinore plans a memorial statue on Kronborg castle ramparts. Danish sculptor Louis Hasselblad works in Rome on a bronze dedication, with Norse and British subscribers urged to fund the project. The initiative links Shakespeare’s enduring fame with Elsinore’s heritage and Danes’ literary pride. The article also notes related tales from Kansas, and previews Halley's Comet return in 1910 or 1911 as the Star of Bethlehem.
