Is in the line of improvement that should
long since have been resolved upon, and

to use any wheeled vehicle for traffic
upon the streets in Chicago shall first
obtain license therefor. and that the
fee for such license shall be in proper
ton to the width of the tire and the
maximum load, including the wagon.
The miniDum fee is 81 for all vehi-
eles, and tiSs is all that is to be charged
for wagons and trucks having tires Of
not less than Al inches, however great
the weight they bear. But for tires of
g. inches or less the cost of the license
Is Is for one ton and rises from that to
$50 for four tons. For the latter weight
on tires Of 3 and s4 inches the fee Is
$50. and for 4inches sIo, smaller weights

Gould's Death Will Not Effect the Mar
ket in the Least.


NEW YORK, Dec. Am important
announcement in reference to the
Gould interests was made this morning
by Washington +. Conner, who was
until q few years ago q business part
ner of Mr.. Gould's and 10 we'll qualified
to speak. Mr.. Connor said. "The bulk
of Nj. Gould's property has been
placed in the hands of trustees, thus
etfectually settling mp his interests in
such corporations as Manhattan, West
ern Union and Missouri Pacific.
This will. of course, prevent the Gould
interests being divided or the stocks
going on the market. Mr.. Gould has
not been active in Wall street for some
years. For two years past the prac-
teal management of his affairs has
been in the hands Of his son, George.
Mr.. Gould's death does not change the
intrinsic Value os his properties one lota.
j. b. Clews of the house of Henry
Clews, bankers, said: There is not and
will not be any excitement on change
on account of Mr.. Gould's death, and
there will be no depression IN his stock
OF any consequence.
An effort Was made to interview Rus
sell Sage on Mr.. Could death. but he
sent the message that he was "too
much overcome by the news to see::any-
one." 1t is expected that meeting of
the board of directors of the Western
Union will be called at once to take
action in the matter. 1t 10 probable
that meeting of the directors of the
Missouri Pacific railroad will also be
called at once to take some action on
the death of Mr.. Gould. At the Office
of the Wabash road it was said that .
meeting of the directors would be
called. but that there would be no un-
due haste.
Chauncey Depew. whom spoken to in
reference to Mr.. Gould's death said:
"Mr. Gould has been for some time un-
loading his property upon his two sons,
Edward and George, who are now
identified with most of his property.
Mr.. Gould's property, understand, is
so concentrated that it will not be af-
fected by his DEATH"
copgregated the death of Mr.. Gould
was the one thing talked about tonight.
At the Windsor, Fifth Avenue, Hol-
land and other hotels little knots
of Wall street men discussed
the probable effect ON the market.
Arrangements for the performance Of
the last rites d<ef the body of the great
financier have been about completed.
The services will be held at the family
residence at Forty-seventh street and
Fifth avenue on Monday 1T 10 O'Clock
in the morning. The ReY. DR.. Paxton
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
which MIR. Gould was . worshipper,
will conduct the services. He viii be
assisted by Rev. Chancellor McCracken
and Rev. Roderick Terry. The choir
from DR.. Paxton's church will take
part IN the services. The intsrment
will be at Woodlawn.

story Of . Man Who Brsved the Great
Napoleon.
The drummer had finished one Of his
wonderful stories; his auditors in the
smoking compartment were dumb with
amazement--that Is, they were dumb
for, say, two minutes, when very old

interest, cleared his throat and looked
around on the crowd.

with satanic sarcasm, you have said to
me what no man ever dared say before,
and unless you apologize on the spot

The old mans voice trembled with ex-
element, and his breathing became so
short that he was compelled to stop talk

in strained surprise.
II left France, and left it so rapidly
that even Napoleon Bonaparte couldn't

cherubs, your castles, your moated
oranges, for the live babies, the farm
house and the rail fences that are all
about you. Go to good art school and
test your capacity. There is nothing
better to take the conceit out of one
than to enter large studio. Draw and
continue to draw, but always from q
model and never from imagination,
and if circumstances so hem you in that
you cannot leave home for the large city
studio find good teacher connected
with an accredited school of art who
will teach by correspondence, and do
not presume to open studio and invite
visitors to buy your pictures until you

You are making a grave mistake. Your
work betrays not only immaturity, but
ignorance. You will be ashamed of it
as soon as your eyes are trained. Close
your studio and go to school.
