Giddy Bill Nye's Observations on the Gay
French Capital.

ayes ODserSutlOuS on tho O8y
French Capital.
There may be more beautiful sights,
perhaps, than the quiet beauty of the
French capital sleeping in the moon
light on the Seine, but I do not re-
member at this moment what they are
Looking down from the mighty for
tifications to where nearly two million
warm-hearted, hot-headed, loyal and
yet rebellious, peaceful and still bel
ligerent people are slumbering, what
memories of blood and riot and ruin
come trooping up in the brain of the
beholder. Again the air seems filled
with the wild roar and rush of the
riotous canaille, the beautiful boule-
wards run red with French blood, and
the glorious architecture of forgotten
centuries crumbles and Yields to the
mad tide of revolution and revenge.
From the early days of infant Paris,
known then as Lutetia Parisorum, when
the French capital was simply an out
fitting point, down to the days when
she dictated to the world in the matter
of National debts and overskirts, we
trace the wonderful career of the great
city. Again we see Caesar rebuilding
the city. In fancy we see him being
about with his coat off and his red
suspenders flashing in the warm SOUTH
ern sun. His noble head is thrown
back proudly and across the horizon of
his pantaloons there is dash of pale
light that shows where he sat down in
the mortar-bed near where the Pavilion
de Saltpeter now stands. Rapidly the eye
sweeps down the Seine from the
Louvre, along the Tuileries, the Rue
Rivoli and the Rue Folderol, to where
the glistcning mass of the Vendome
de Charlotte Russo raises its pale
facades. In the foreground stands the
Hotel des Invalides, an imposing pile,
crowned with a gilded dome one
hundred and five meters high. I'M
mediately under it stands the sarcoph-
sgus of Napoleon l. This sarcophagus
was first used by Napoleon. He was
proud and exclusive about his sarcoph-
agi, refusing to use a secondhand
sarcophagus, no matter how cheaply he
could procure it.
Moving toward the background, we
come suddenly upon the Bourse, the
imposing coup d'etat, the Palais des
Beaux-Arts, the Bon-Bon, and the
Champs de Dofunny. Farther on rests
the Grand Boulevard de Parleyvoo,
silent and abandoned, while down the
river farther, and still beyond the Palais
de Livery Stable, stands the historic
Rue de Crazy Woman's Fork.
How fresh in my memory still rests
the picture of Paree, and what pleas
ure it is, again and again to bring back
its tender outlines. Imperfect though
this pen picture may be, 1 know it will
be read with much pleasure by those
who see it and if there should, at first
blush, appear to be vagueness, and,
as it were, an incompleteness in the
description, l hope the gentle reader
will bear in mind that Tie Siding,
is about the nearest l ever
got to Paree, and with broken leg
and the long, damp walk that stretches
out between myself and France, l am
afraid that may be delayed in reach
ing there this fall.
My next letter will be from Rome.
For cripple intend to see as much
of Europe this fall as possible.-Denrer
Opinion.

He promised to see to it upon his return
to Boston that quotations should be
made for Montana woods separately
from those Of the other territories. In
answer to the question AS to how Mon
tana woods compared with those of other
territories he said they were the best
and are worth from three to four cents
more than Utah and two cents more
than Wyoming. He said also that the
wool marketed at Fort Benton is the
best in the territory and will bring bet

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-1nformation haa just been
received from the northern suburb. of Lake
View that Rev. H P. Collision, pastor Of Fuller
ton avenue Presbyterian church, shot his wife
and then himself this afternoon. The ball en-
tered the wife's head back Of the ear, killing
her instantly. he aimed at his own temple,
but held rather low so that the bullet passed
below the brain back of the eyes, passing
almost through and probably cutting both
optic nerve. He is still alive, bat it is thought
the chances are against his recovery. It he
survives he will be totally blind. There
was no quarrel. His wife was aboat to
90 driving with neighbor woman,
who was waiting at the gate with buggy; as
abe started he calle her back three times in
succession, the third time closing the outer door
and doing the dreadful deed. Rev. Oollison
became paetor of this church four years ago,
but dissensions a-ose on account # the pastor 8

died until last June when he rendered his resigna-
